The process of ancestor worship is not much different from the previous one.

It's just that Zhao Ce's family had to pay their respects in their separate small ancestral hall first, and then go to the big ancestral hall to attend.

The entire process is completed in one go and cannot be interrupted.

After Zhao Ce and the two of them had finished paying homage to the small ancestral hall, they took their seats in the big ancestral hall.

The ceremony in the main ancestral hall also officially began.

This time when the clan leader recited Zhao Ce's achievements, he took longer than before.

However, although the recitation took quite a long time, everyone listened with great interest.

After all, this is the most promising cub in their village.

Not to mention their village, it is estimated that no one in their entire provincial capital has such a promising future.

After the patriarch finished reciting, everyone knelt down and bowed three times.

After praying, he continued to recite other words to bless everyone.

After reciting, he continued to kowtow.

There are people on the side who are responsible for burning the prayers handed to them in order after kneeling down.

This was burned to the ancestors below for them to see.

Zhao Ce and the others knelt on the futon together with everyone else, and they also knelt down in obedience to the god card on it.

Although in modern times, Zhao Ce had not participated in this process of worshiping ancestors in the ancestral hall.

But every Qingming Festival, their family would seriously worship their ancestors.

After all the chanting was finished, a short burst of firecrackers sounded outside the gate.

After the sound of firecrackers, a faint smell of gunpowder can be smelled in the ancestral hall.

By the time all the ceremonies were over, it was already half an hour later.

Zhao Youcai took the brush on the side and handed it to Zhao Ce.

"Today the ethnic study begins, and the name of the ethnic study should be written by you in your own hand."

Zhao Ce took the brush and looked at the paper spread out in front of him.

He had thought of a lot of names in the past two days, but he felt they were all a bit off.

But Zhao Ce changed his mind.

There is no such thing as a perfect name.

There is no need to choose a name that is too lofty or classy.

After the brush in Zhao Ce's hand was dipped in ink, he quickly wrote four big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes on the paper.

——"Educating talents and educating students".

After finishing writing, Zhao Youcai picked up the piece of paper and showed it to everyone.

The person in front looked excited.

The people behind could not see it, and many people stood on tiptoes.

The crackling and endless sound of firecrackers heralds the completion of this ancestor worship.

Zhao Youcai held the family name written by Zhao Ce in his hand and said loudly: "Educating talents and educating students, construction starts today."

"After worshiping the ancestors this time, get ready for the banquet!"

Zhao Youcai gave the order and everyone dispersed.

Everyone went back home and brought the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks over to prepare for today's banquet.

Zhao Ce won the sixth prize this time and was the leader of the world.

In addition, he has outstanding achievements.

Now that the family has the conditions, the flowing water mat will naturally have to be placed for a longer period of time.

So that everyone in her hometown can see her as the leader in the world.

Zhao Ce planned to display the gifts in Zuixuan Building for one month first, and then display the gifts in the village for two months.

It stayed there until he left for the capital.

Zhao Youcai gave the clan name written by Zhao Ce to Zhao Wensheng and asked him to go to the city to find someone to rub it and make it into a plaque.

After doing this, he said to Zhao Ce: "The ancestor worship is over for now."

"You and Cai'er go back first, and I'll have someone call you when the banquet starts."

Zhao Ce nodded, pulled Su Cai'er, and left first amid everyone's excited or excited eyes.

Su Cai'er followed him and walked out of the ancestral hall.

The firecrackers outside haven't burned out yet, and the ground is covered with red firecracker paper.

The thick white smoke made both of them cough slightly.

Zhao Ce looked at her and said with a smile: "The taste is a bit choking."

Su Cai'er replied with a smile: "But it's so lively like this."

After saying that, I looked at the long line of firecrackers that had reached the opposite side of the ancestral hall.

The customs of "burning incense and candles", "setting off firecrackers" and "burning paper money" to worship ancestors are still passed down hundreds of years later.

Some people may think these are bad habits.

But for Zhao Ce, who grew up in the countryside, these are indispensable for festivals.

At this time, a gust of wind blew gently, and the two of them were wrapped in the smoke, and they suddenly coughed.

I feel like I can't open my eyes.

Zhao Ce quickly pulled Su Caier and ran out.

Both of them were dressed in costumes today and originally looked very dignified and serious.

But Zhao Ce pulled Su Cai'er into a trot, and she didn't hesitate.

He directly held the hem of his skirt with one hand and ran behind Zhao Ce regardless of his image.

We walked all the way to the main road outside and finally got rid of the smoke.

The young couple stopped and looked at each other's somewhat messy clothes, and couldn't help laughing.

"Husband, your clothes are all in a mess."

"Well, your sideburns are a little messy too."

It's all messed up and I'm too lazy to tidy it up.

Su Cai'er smelled the clothes that were full of the smell of gunpowder and decided to change them when she went back.

The two held hands, followed by the servant who ran out together.

Su Cai'er remembered that when she first came to Shuiqiao Village, her right foot was inconvenient.

At that time, in order to accommodate her, her husband always walked very slowly on purpose.

Now her legs and feet have been well for a long time, and she has traveled to many places with her husband.

When her husband pulls her to run, she can easily keep up.

Su Caier sighed softly.

"It's good to be home..."

Zhao Ce smiled and said nothing.

Returning fallen leaves to their roots has always been a unique obsession of their nation.

And both of them are very family-loving people.

So after returning home, I always feel happy looking at everything.

Even the choking smell of gunpowder did not affect their happiness at all.

…

The ancestral tomb of Zhao Ce's parents was built very luxuriously with the help of Zhao Youcai and others.

When worshiping the mountain this time, there is no need to weed the grass with a hoe, dig out the mud, and fill the grave high like before.

Zhao Youcai's family did not come today.

Because Zhao Ce has grown up now and is a real head of the family.

As the head of the family, he would take his own family members to the grave-sweeping ceremony in person.

Arrive at the grave.

Zhao Ce personally took the broom and swept the already clean tomb again.
