Half an hour later, representatives of all the houses and veins of the Xia family came to the Xia ancestral hall, and even in order to watch the excitement, many other clansmen also came, filling the ancestral hall.

Before coming, Xia Anshan and others had already confirmed Xia Yu's family tree, and in fact, they already knew that Xia Yu was a member of the Xia clan, and now it was just a formal walking ceremony.

Therefore, they have already prepared all the things they need to worship their ancestors.

And today's day also happens to be a good day.

Three animal meals, three teas and five wines are placed on the tribute table in front of the ancestral tablet.

The old man sitting next to Xia Anshan before was a rite student, and said with vigorous and powerful business: "The ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the ancestors begins!"

"Firecrackers, genealogy, please!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of firecrackers rang out again, and the genealogy was again invited out and placed on a quaint table in the middle, and everyone looked solemn, even the children were held by the adults, and no longer let them run around.

After the sound of firecrackers stopped.

The old man spoke up again: "One worship the sky, two worship the earth, and three worship the ancestors of the Xia clan!"

After everyone bowed three times, the old man said again: "Ancestor worship begins!"

After that, led by Xia Anshan, everyone burned incense and wax in turn, Xia Yu participated in it, but Wu Siming and other outsiders have been watching from the sidelines, but they have not participated in it, they are not from the Xia clan, and the second is the official identity, it is really not suitable to participate, if it is not for witnessing Xia Yu's recognition of his ancestors and return to his ancestors, they will not be here.

After worshipping the ancestors, the old man retreated behind the scenes, Xia Anshan walked out, his face was solemn, and he said loudly: "Today, I, Longfeng Nanshi Xia, welcome Xia Yu to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors......"

Xia Anshan's words are mainly divided into four parts, the beginning is to express the welcome to Xia Yu to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, followed by the introduction of Xia Yu's migration of this lineage, and then to confirm and agree, and finally as the patriarch on behalf of the Xia clan to send blessings to Xia Yu's lineage.

After that, the next few processes are to continue the genealogy, place the ancestral tablet of Xia Yu's lineage, Xia Yu speak, and all the staff worship the ancestors again.

At this point, the old man who had retreated into the background once again came out to announce the completion of the "Ceremony of Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to the Ancestors".

The whole process was very lock-up, but no one was impatient.

It is precisely this kind of red tape etiquette that seems very cumbersome and boring to outsiders that constitutes a sense of honor and belonging between clans, and whether it is good or bad depends on personal judgment.

After recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors, Xia Anshan and others led Xia Yu to worship the tombs of their ancestors, and when they came back, it was about one o'clock at noon.

Fortunately, Xia Anshan had already arranged for people to prepare a luncheon, and the clansmen worked together to kill pigs and sheep, and used several large stoves to prepare a luncheon of sixty or seventy tables in just a few hours.

"Mr. Xia, congratulations on tracing your roots, and I wish the Xia clan a prosperous and prosperous family!"

Wu Siming picked up his wine glass with a smile on his face and congratulated Xia Yu.

He had to be happy, from the beginning of the morning until now, although he didn't talk much, mainly watching, and also made him walk a lot of mountain roads, and he was so tired that he was panting for breath at his age, but he was smiling the whole time.

There is no way, at his height, he knows very well that Xia Yu's recognition of his ancestors and return to his ancestors is actually not just a matter of Xia Yu alone, but already has huge political significance.

Not to mention the recognition of ancestors and the return to the ancestors this time, the mainland has played an important role in it, and has contributed a lot in it.

After all, Xia Yu is a representative of Xiangjiang, but he does not need to rely on the mainland, but has helped the mainland a lot, and this relationship is not stable for the mainland, so the mainland will always find ways to strengthen the ties between the two sides.

And Huaxia pays the most attention to blood and clan relations.

Now that Xia Yu recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, then more than 1,500 people in the Xia clan of Longfeng Nanshi are Xia Yu's clansmen, and with this layer of bond, Xia Yu's communication with the mainland will be closer, and after a long time, there will be more places to do work.

Now everything is going well, it can be said that the work assigned to Wu Siming above has been successfully completed, as for the rest, at best, it is just icing on the cake, it is best if there is, and it is okay if there is not.

"Thank you, and I also wish the governor of Wuzhou a prosperous fortune and a prosperous mainland!"

"Mr. Xia, I wish you ......"

Wu Siming's toast was like a signal, and then many people came to toast Xia Yu, and Xia Yu did not hold a shelf, a table to toast to the elders and clansmen.

Fortunately, he had a special identity and did not dare to force him to drink, and he was also successful in martial arts, his physique was greatly improved, and the amount of alcohol was greatly increased.

Every time he toasted halfway, Xia Yu was followed by a person holding a plate, on which there were red envelopes like a hill, each red envelope was sealed with 666 yuan, as long as there were present, regardless of men, women and children, after the children were curious to open the package, it caused the parents to exclaim, and then the atmosphere of the entire ancestral hall became more and more intense.

At this time, the clansmen had the most intuitive impression of Xia Yu - young and promising, and heroic.

There is no way, in this day and age, every penny is easy to spend, and you can buy two popsicles, let alone 666 yuan, and most families may not be able to save so much money in a few years.

There were sixty or seventy tables at the scene, not to mention five hundred people, and Xia Yu's red envelope was more than 300,000 yuan, so they couldn't help but be shocked and in awe.

Xia Yu is not worried about anyone daring to act ill, he has his own security force to protect himself, and the officials are also protecting him, to put it mildly, the mainland cares more about his safety than himself.

Giving them such a big red envelope is also to give the clansmen more opportunities, after all, there are too many people, Xia Yu can't manage so many people, if someone is clever enough to use this money to make a name for himself, his money will be worth it.

Again, he also took into account that he was an outsider, and it was difficult to integrate in, and if he wanted to establish prestige in an instant, this method was undoubtedly the most direct and effective.

He had planned to do something before he came, and without enough prestige, he could foresee a lot of difficulties.

Eating, drinking, chatting, and chatting, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and Xia Anshan specially vacated some houses for Xia Yu and Wu Siming and others to live in.

Although Wu Siming is the vice governor and is busy with affairs, his task at this time is to accompany Xia Yu throughout the whole process until Xia Yu leaves Jiangxi Province safely.

Early the next morning, Xia Yu got up early, played Tai Chi in the yard, and suddenly saw a head poking out of the door, it was a young guy yesterday, Xia Yu remembered that his name was Xia Yongquan, twenty-one years old this year, and he was the youngest grandson of Xia Anshan.

Xia Anshan has two sons, namely the eldest son Xia Dongming and the youngest son Xia Donghui, Xia Dongming has two sons, named Xia Yongliang and Xia Yongxing, one is 28 years old and the other is 26 years old, both of whom have become families.

The child who was held in Xia Dongming's arms yesterday is officially Xia Yongliang's son and the great-grandson of Xia Anshan.

And Xia Anshan's youngest son Xia Donghui is forty-five years old this year, and has two sons, Xia Yongchao and Xia Yongquan, Xia Yongchao is already married at the age of twenty-four, and only Xia Yongquan is twenty-one years old, and when others are already married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he doesn't want to start a family.

Yesterday at Xia Anshan's house, Xia Yu didn't see Xia Yongquan fall in Xia Anshan, but Xia Yu could see that Xia Yongquan was more jumping, although he lowered his head and looked like he was honestly trained, but his eyes were always dripping, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When he saw Xia Yu and Li Wuming practicing martial arts in the courtyard, Xia Yongquan's eyes widened, Xia Yu's Tai Chi was fine, and he couldn't see anything if he moved a little slowly, but Li Wuming's Xingyi Boxing was vigorous, and it was not a showmanship at first glance.

Sensing that someone was coming, Xia Yu and Li Wuming successively reaped their achievements.

Xia Yu smiled and looked at Xia Yongquan, who was wearing a stroke hairstyle, and asked, "Brother Yongquan, is there something wrong?"

Xia Anshan is the same generation as Xia Yu's grandfather, Xia Yu is younger than Xia Yongquan, and it is also appropriate to call him brother.

Xia Yongquan swallowed his saliva, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "That, my grandfather asked me to call you for breakfast." ”

"Okay, you go into the room and sit down for a while, we'll be right away!"

After speaking, Xia Yu went into the house to change clothes, and came out again after a while, and went to have breakfast with Xia Yongquan.

It's not wrong to call breakfast at a southern farmhouse, because it's eating.

In the countryside, if it is not close to the township market, there are generally no noodles and buns or the like, and they are all eaten, and in order to save time and firewood, they usually eat the leftovers from last night.

After all, chopping wood is really hard, if the road is not close, it takes a strong laborer to cut it for two days to barely enough for a family for a week.

In rural areas, you generally have to get up at five or six o'clock, go to work in the fields early, and work until eleven or twelve o'clock at noon.

However, there are important guests such as Xia Yu today, Xia Anshan did not take leftovers to entertain Xia Yu, the rice is fresh, the dishes are rich, and there are a lot of glutinous rice cakes and rice crackers, so that Xia Yongquan, who usually rarely eats good things, was glared at by Xia Anshan several times halfway, Xia Yu couldn't help laughing, and sighed in the round "True temperament, it is a blessing to be able to eat".

"Ayu, do you have any arrangements today?"

After eating breakfast and drinking tea, Xia Anshan asked Xia Yu.

Yesterday, Xia Yu kept emphasizing that the family should not see each other, so no one called him Mr. Xia, and generally either called him by his name or called him Ayu.

"Uncle, it's also the first time I've come to the ancestral land, and I didn't have time to take a closer look yesterday, so today I want to take a look around the whole village and see my Xia clan's feng shui treasure. ”

Xia Yu said with a smile.

Xia Yu's words were very comfortable to listen to, he stroked his long beard, and nodded again and again: "I want to take a good look, it is this feng shui treasure that has allowed my Xia family to inherit for more than 800 years, and it can be produced in large numbers!"

After speaking, he looked at his little grandson Xia Yongquan, who was snorting melon seeds, and admonished.

"Ah Quan, you don't have to work these days, just follow Ah Yu, you can do whatever you want, you know?"

Xia Yongquan immediately nodded and spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth, looked at Xia Yu, and said loudly: "I know grandpa!"

"By the way, Ayu, you originally had a house and land in this vein, but when the family fled, the houses were knocked down, and your ancestors did not come back and never rebuilt, and the land in the village was redivided in New China, so the ancestral land is gone, but you have to wait, I will rearrange it, and let each family replace a piece for you, no one should be unwilling." ”

Xia Anshan said to Xia Yu with a somewhat ashamed face.

Xia Yu smiled lightly and shook his head: "Uncle, thank you for your kindness, you don't need to be so troublesome, it's gone, and I don't need it." ”

"If I want, when the time comes, I can buy any piece of land that I like, and I will not let everyone suffer, so as not to cause conflicts. ”

Xia Anshan pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement: "Okay, if there is anything you need me to come forward, tell me!"

Xia Yu said with a smile: "Okay, it's all a family, I'm not welcome!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Uncle, then I'll go out for a walk first!"

"Okay!"

"Ah Quan, if you want to eat, put it in your pocket and eat it on the road, go and lead the way!"

"Okay!"

Xia Yongquan said, grabbed a handful of fried melon seeds and stuffed them into his pocket, and then followed Xia Yu out.

"Ayu, this side is going to the head of the village, this side is going to the upper row, leading directly to the reservoir on the mountain, and this side is ......"

Out of the courtyard, Xia Yongquan pointed in all directions and introduced to Xia Yu.

The summer village in 1979 was not much different from the summer village in the 2,000 years, at least in terms of road planning and the overall layout of the village.

Xia Yu was also a skin monkey when he was a child, going up the mountain to dig birds, going down to the river to fish, he couldn't be more familiar with the whole village, but after going out to study in high school and college, every time he came back from the summer and winter vacation, he was even more unfamiliar with the changed summer village.

Therefore, although Xia Yongquan spoke as earnestly as a machine gun, Xia Yu could understand what he said.

He kept smiling, pointed to a big banyan tree in the distance to the east and said, "Let's go to the banyan tree first, that banyan tree is so big from such a distance, it shouldn't be a short year, right?"

Xia Yongquan tilted his head and said with some pride: "That's it, I heard the elders say that this banyan tree was planted by my Xia ancestor when he was a high school jinshi in the Song Dynasty, and it has been more than 800 years now!"

Of course, Xia Yu knows the allusion of this ancient banyan tree, which has always been the pride of the Xia family.

It's a pity that after entering the 21st century, due to various improper protection, this banyan tree gradually withered, and it was bald without a leaf before Xia Yu's rebirth.

At that time, the old people in the village looked gloomy, and kept chattering that this was a bad omen, and the Xia clan would have a great disaster, and the ten miles and eight villages were also gossiping about all kinds of ominous things in the Xia village.

But in this life, nothing has happened yet, and there is still time to protect.

Xia Yu showed curiosity at the right time, and said with great interest: "Then I want to go and see, Brother Yongquan, please take me down." ”

"Okay, follow me!"

Along the way, Xia Yongquan's mouth never stopped, and he seemed to be very curious about everything, either asking Xia Yu about the situation outside, or asking if he knew kung fu.

Xia Yu picked up what he could say and told him, Rao is so, hearing the world of flowers and flowers in the outside world, the longing in Xia Yongquan's eyes became more and more intense.
