Chapter 2381 Sacrifice
to Mr. Xiao and the three heroes of the Chao family, no matter how shocked others were, they happily sent posts to colleagues, family friends, relatives and friends. A batch of posts were sent out at noon, and some more were sent out on the way after work in the evening. Of course, they were there on weekends. Busy sending invitations.
Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao also sent invitations to some of their old colleagues in their personal circles besides family, friends and family. Young Master Xiao and Miss Chao each also sent invitations to their close friends.
Young Master Li, Young Master Luo, Young Master Wang Yuzhe and others were also surprised when they found out that Miss Chao Er was going to marry Young Master Xiao, and they all called to ask if it was true that Brother Chao was the real one.
The handsome young man answered the phone so fast that he almost wanted to invite his friends to ask Xiaotuanzi to look at their eyes. None of his friends could see the difference between his second sister and Brother Xiao. It was a waste of time for them to get along with each other for so many years.
Mei's brother was bombarded with phone calls, and Le Xiao's classmates happily watched the excitement. However, when Monday came, she was also bombarded with phone calls - Xuan Shao, Hua Shao and others called one after another, saying that her second sister did not give them any money when she got married. This post is so uninteresting.
Le Xiaololi was so bombarded with phone calls that she only had a look of embarrassment. Finally, she discussed it with her beauty brother and silently bought a wedding invitation and gave it to Xuan Shaohua Shaoji Shaozhou Zhou Shaojiang Shaoxinwu in her own name in Beijing. The young master of the Chen family, the young master of the Lu family, sent a post inviting them to attend Sister Fu's wedding banquet.
I also gave a note to each of Wu Shao, Ren Shao, Duan Shaofeng, Tan Tai, and Bada Jingang, and sent them to their homes respectively. Whether they and their families would come or not was another matter. We could not favor one over the other.
After Xuan Shao and others received the post, they finally let the little Loli go and stopped bombarding her with phone calls.
The Xiao family and the Chao family sent out all the invitations and happily waited for the National Day to arrive.
The families who have received the invitations have also made arrangements in advance as to who will represent them at the wedding banquet of the Chao family and the Xiao family. Needless to say, each family has a person in power going to the paradise. If there are wedding banquets from other families, the corresponding representatives will be sent to the paradise. level people to participate.
Originally, several people in your circle had planned to hold a National Day banquet, but because the Chao family and the Xiao family's post arrived more than a month in advance, Qing Mimi, who was able to reschedule, changed the date so as not to coincide with the Chao and Xiao family's wedding banquet.
After sending the invitation, Mr. Le stopped caring about other things and focused on teaching while preparing for the upcoming Hungry Ghost Festival.
The Ghost Festival falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, also known as the Ghost Festival.
The Hungry Ghost Festival in 2023 is August 30.
On the afternoon of the 29th, classmate Le Xiao taught Brother Meiren how to do boxing for two seconds. Then he went back to the east courtyard to clean the Langhuan Hall. He used a vacuum cleaner to vacuum the furniture and corners of the central hall, and then wiped the furniture and porcelain with silk and satin. The floor was mopped and kept clean.
Several ornaments were also changed. The vases on the long desk in front of the Grand Master's wall were also replaced by a pair of hanging gallbladder suet jade vases. A blue and red lotus flower was placed on the mouth of one bottle, and a lotus flower was placed on the mouth of the other bottle. A golden amber sunflower with calyxes set in blue crystals.
In the evening, I moved a large stove and placed it in the yard facing the central hall. I put a large wide-mouthed pot on it and started a fire to boil the medicinal soup. I also prepared cold water and several large buckets of medicinal liquid.
Classmate Le Xiao waited until the night was quiet and crowded, and quietly took out the gems used as eyes of dragons and phoenixes in the caisson in the nave, and replaced them with another one. He also took out a few floral ornaments inlaid on accessories from all directions of the caisson and replaced them with hidden gems. Accessories for engraved talismans.
They also secretly replaced a pair of talons. The new pair of talons are exactly the same in shape and size as the original ones. Only the talismans hidden in the base are different. The previous talismans were the original version, and the newly replaced pair of talons are the same as the original ones. Hidden inside is the most advanced formation talisman.
The eyes of the dragon and phoenix embossed on the central pillar have also been replaced. The newly replaced parts in each place are made of special adhesive glue. They cannot be pulled out after being installed. If it is necessary to replace the talisman, the previous parts must be soaked with special potion. The glue can be removed again.
The talismans that had been hidden in the past to seal off the aura in the upper room of the east courtyard were also taken out one by one. The newly replaced talismans were all used to form a large array to protect the paradise.
After replacing all the accessories that needed to be exchanged, Mr. Le waited until three o'clock to heat up a pig's head, a whole chicken, a whole duck, and a leg of beef and alpaca leg meat in the kitchen.
When dawn is about to break, three Eight Immortals tables are placed in the passage under the steps of the central hall, and offerings are placed on them. The boxes with Chinese characters written on them are also placed on the table, and the auspicious clothes are put on. At dawn, incense is burned to offer sacrifices.
The beautiful boy had woken up early because Xiao Tuanzi had told her that she would offer sacrifices on the morning of the Ghost Festival, and asked him and Leshan Luke not to get up early until she called out.
Let the beautiful brother and Leshan avoid it, no one is watching, Leyun worshiped the gods of heaven and earth according to ancient rituals, completed the sacrificial ceremony, opened the box, took out the scroll, unfolded it, took the wooden shaft of the scroll, and put the silk with the Chinese characters written on it into the big Soak in the medicinal soup of the pot and simmer.
Boil for a few minutes, take it out, let it dry, put it back in to cook, boil it for a few minutes, take it out to dry again, repeat this nine times, take out the scroll, run it through several prepared potions, and then boil it in a large pot.
After boiling for a few minutes, take it out, dry it again, dry it and boil it again, repeat this nine times, then immerse it in cold potion and boil it again.
Repeated it three times, soaked it in cold potion, soaked it in boiling water again, applied a layer of ointment on both sides of the silk cloth, roasted it until it was semi-dry, and then threw it into a pot to cook.
After waiting for a few minutes watching the fire, Le Yun closed the stove door halfway to let the fire weaken a little, then went back to collect the offerings, moved the sacrifices back to the kitchen, wiped the table and moved it back to the "Cangzhu Xuan" for collection.
He also put away the box containing the paintings, tidied up the place, called the beauty's brother and younger brother to get up, opened the flower door and the main door, called Luke to get up, and went back to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Luke also got up early and practiced boxing in his room until the hostess called him, and then he left the room to brush his teeth and wash his face.
When Leshan wakes up, he sits in his room and meditates in the morning. When his sister wakes him up, he brushes his teeth and washes his face, then goes to the backyard to practice Qing Kung Fu.
About half an hour after the little Loli opened the door, Brother Fu, Brother Qian, and Brother Jie came into the theater to report. The three brothers went straight to the kitchen cabinet to help the little Loli and do odd jobs.
Because there was a sacrifice to be held during the Ghost Festival, Le Yun simply asked Brother Fu and Brother Qian to have breakfast together. They had chicken for breakfast, and also cut a large piece of camel face meat, paired with a pickled cabbage, smoked fish, and clear porridge.
After breakfast, classmate Le brought a leg of lamb and beef to Brother Fu, Brother Qian, Brother Jie, and took them to the big kitchen so that they could eat in different ways.
Brother Fu, Brother Qian, and Brother Jie carried the medicated lamb and beef shank made by Little Loli. They were so happy that they returned to the big kitchen. They divided the meat into fresh-keeping food bags and stored it in the refrigerator to eat slowly.
The three brothers did not forget about the dogs either. They brought the collected bones and meat from the little loli to the dogs to the workshop building to give Heilong and Xueying Qingying extra meals.
It was not advisable to exercise strenuously just after dinner. Classmate Le carried a few plaques out of the east courtyard and hung plaques on several places in the south-facing building in the outer courtyard.
The name of the large kitchen in the inverted building is "Wuwei Cabinet", which is only one word different from Wuweilou. It is unmistakable that it is the center of the kitchen.
The living room to the west of the guard room where Brother Fu lives is called "Jiahe Zhai". To the west of the east gate is a row of guard rooms. There is a plaque in the middle of the middle room with the name "Qinghe Hall" hanging on the lintel.
There are also signs hanging on the doors of the monitoring room and the copy room. The five-room apartment on the east side of the east gate and against the south wall is named "Ningcuixuan". That apartment is owned by Le Xiaoluoli. The first knight prepared that if Luke remained loyal, he would get married and have children in the future, allowing their family to live alone in one place and share family happiness.
Student Le Xiao walked back to the east courtyard with short legs, and carried a few more signs to the workshop. He hung a "studio" sign in the hall used for office work, and also hung a sign in the bathroom leading to the nursing home. There is also a sign on the door of the livestock yard, indicating that the yard on the other side is the "Six Animal Yard".
There is also a monitoring room in the northeast corner, which also has plaques hanging on it. Plaques are also hung on the rooms with rice grinders and other machines, as well as the utility rooms where farm equipment is stored, and the large machine spare rooms.
Plaques are hung everywhere, which means there are direction signs. If you want to find something or arrange a place for people to live, just tell them where to go and you will be able to find the right place quickly.
After finishing the work of hanging the plaque, Le Xiaoluoli returned to the east courtyard, taught her younger brother swordsmanship in the courtyard, taught the swordsmanship of a bell, and turned off the door of the stove where the scrolls were cooked.
After teaching my brother the swordsmanship, the water in the pot stopped blooming because the stove door was closed. I took the scroll out of the pot, soaked it in the potion, drained the water, spread it flat on top of the big pot and fumigated it with hot steam. .
After smoking it with hot steam for more than ten minutes, and then baking it half dry with the heat of the stove, the little Loli hung the silk scroll in the middle of the wall of the Imperial Master in the middle hall.
When the scroll with the word "国" written on it was hung up, the nave became a little brighter invisibly, and there was an awe-inspiring righteousness lingering in the nave.
After hanging up the scroll, Le Yun put on a stick of incense and walked towards the door.
The beautiful boy stood at the door with Leshan and Luke. He felt that the atmosphere in the hall had changed, but he couldn't tell where it had changed.
As soon as his little dumpling came out, the beautiful boy rubbed the back of her head: "Xiao dumpling, you are so busy, boiling and drying the paintings. What's the secret?" "I'm doing moisture-proof, anti-fading and anti-fading treatment. I'm doing it.
" The pot of medicinal soup is a special anti-fading medicine. No matter what kind of material the painting is put in the pot and boiled for two hours, as long as it does not smudge or fade during cooking, the painting will not fade or become moldy even if it gets damp. The canvas It won't fade."
The beautiful boy came up with an idea and asked directly: "So, if you throw the clothes in and boil them, they won't fade?" "
Yes, as long as you can love the cloth and paper that can withstand high-temperature cooking, After cooking, it will not fade unless it comes into contact with highly corrosive things like sulfuric acid."
Xiaotuanzi had countless fantastic ideas in her mind. The beautiful boy admired her and couldn't help teasing her: "Then throw our little dumpling away. Go in and cook it. Will the little dumplings always stay this white?"
"Brother Chao, throw me in and cook, add some pepper and salt, and it's ready to serve."
The little dumplings were not pulled out of the way, and the beautiful boy touched them . Touching her head: "Brother is reluctant to cook dumplings. Xiao dumplings, hurry up and get to work. After cleaning up, go to learn martial arts." "Okay."
Le Yun agreed with a smile and went to work quickly. .
