Shen Bujiao hugged one of Shen Qingdai's legs, but his eyes looked at the brush on the pen rest: "Cousin, you can draw such a magical painting, isn't this pen also extraordinary!"

Shen Qingdai stretched out her hand to take the pen to her, Shen Bujiao took it and touched it carefully, she didn't think there was anything special, and her puzzled eyes fell on Shen Qingdai.

Shen Qingdai smiled: "This is a special pen for painting and repairing, the biggest difference between it and the pen used by ordinary people is that it can store aura, but this is only a basic pen, which can be bought in ordinary stores, as long as the brush is used smoothly, inspiration and technology are more important, the brush is just a way, no matter how powerful the brush is, it can't make people become Qi Xun, Qi Xun's pen is very ordinary." ”

"Who is Qi Xun?" Shen Bujie was curious, and Shen Qingdai said this name with undisguised admiration and admiration.

"Qi Xun, she is a leading figure in our painting cultivation world, her painting skills are very good, and her comprehension of painting has reached the pinnacle. ”

"People in reality can enter her paintings, just like this painting I painted, if she paints it, she can send you into the world of this painting, you can swing a boat with your own hands to ferry, and you can also hear the sound of the market on both sides of the strait......"

Shen Bujiao was stunned when he heard this: "This is too powerful, isn't it!Cousin, I think the profession of painting and repair is very promising!"

Shen Qingdai couldn't help but be amused by her: "Not only is the profession of painting and repairing promising, but any profession has a future, as long as you study hard and give full play to a skill to the extreme, its power cannot be underestimated." ”

"It's not too early, the ancestor worship ceremony is estimated to start soon, let's go over!" Shen Qingdai pressed the painting with a ballast stone and took Shen Bujiao out.

Today, the Shen Mansion is extraordinarily lively, the ancestral hall has dozens of tables of banquets, full of friends, a large banquet is being prepared intensively, the many dishes on the table show the prosperity of the family, the clansmen sit around the table, talk and laugh.

The ancestral hall is the center of the family, but also the spiritual belonging of each clan, it is the most ancient and majestic building of the Shen family, the ancestral hall of the Shen family is the structure of lifting beams, the raspberry column base and the beams and pillars are huge and stout, steady and dignified, magnificent, the main ridge of the Ming Hall is carved with entwined flowers, every pattern, every carving, are rigorous in structure, exquisite carving.

It is not the first time for Shen Bujiao to enter the ancestral hall, but every time he comes to the ancestral hall, he will be shocked by its solemnity and heaviness, it records the glory and tradition of the family, it is an exhibition hall for storing nostalgia, and it is a habitat for the soul.

The virtues of the ancestors are recorded in the genealogy, and their teachings are engraved in the house, like the wind, the rain and the sun, flowing through the ancestral hall in every ordinary day.

The ancestral hall is the most solemn place in the ancestral hall, it is the place where the ancestors are placed and the ancestors kneel and worship, and it is the place where the descendants remember and respect the ancestors and the elders of the family.

When Shen Bujiao and Shen Qingdai walked in, Shen Xiuran was coming out with a few firecrackers, and when he saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "Today's Qingming, you have to set off firecrackers before worshipping your ancestors, I brought them over, do you want to put them?"

Shen Bujiao was full of interest and was ready to move: "I want to release!"

While speaking, the three of them left the ancestral hall, Shen Qingdai frowned, and said worriedly: "Firecrackers are easy to hurt people, you are so small, what should I do if I blow you up?"

Shen Bujiao immediately put on a pitiful look: "I want to go......"

Shen Qingdai was very hesitant and didn't agree to her immediately, Shen Xiuran saw this and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll take her with me and promise not to let her get hurt." ”

"Wow! Cousin is the best!" Shen Bujiao said happily.

Shen Qingdai pretended to be angry and said, "What's the matter, my cousin is good, my cousin is not good to you!?"

"My cousin is good. Shen Bujiao looked flattering, amusing the brother and sister.

Shen Bujiao held the igniter, Shen Xiuran bent down and handed her the firecracker, she took it very excitedly, Shen Xiuran's bony hand was on Shen Bujiao's chubby arm, lest she be injured because she didn't shake off the firecracker in time, seeing that she opened the igniter, the firecracker core snorted, and sparks appeared, he immediately said: "Throw it away!"

Shen Bujiao quickly threw the firecracker in front of him after hearing this, and the firecracker made a "crackling" sound when it landed, Shen Xiuran covered Shen Bujiao's ears and pulled her aside: "Don't stand so close, be careful of hurting you!"

The firecrackers of the Floating Tong Kingdom are made by the Heavenly Council, and other raw materials are added after extracting the gas existing in the compressed air to ensure that the gas released by the burning firecrackers will not pollute the air.

There were several children running around the exploded firecrackers and laughing, and for a while, the sound of firecrackers, conversation, and children's laughter echoed in my ears.

The sacrifice was first performed by Shen Wenshan as the chief sacrificer, and the rest of the sacrificers were standing under the hall, Shen Bujiao stood in the middle of Shen Zhixing and Li Freehand, the sacrifice was musical, and everyone knelt, Shen Bujiao was not the first time to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, and he was still very familiar with the process.

The atmosphere of the whole ancestral hall is solemn and solemn, Shen Wenshan as the chief priest to the ancestors incense, and then the clansmen in turn to offer flowers, offering fruits and kowtowing repeatedly, by Shen Wenshan to recite the "sacrificial text", everyone kowtowed again, and recited the "aspiration motto" in unison, all the solemn bowing before leaving.

After the sacrificial ceremony, everyone's solemn expressions were obviously much more relaxed, and Shen Bujiao ran to find Shen Qingdai again, scratching his head and saying, "Cousin, I didn't seem to see my eldest aunt just now, didn't she come back this year?"

Shen Wenshan and his wife Xu Ruoshu have two characters and one daughter, the eldest daughter Shen Zhinuan, listening to the name should be a gentle and quiet person, in fact, his character is bold and tenacious, and he has never married, but this situation is also very common in Futong China, as long as he can be responsible for the choices he makes, do not hurt others, do not hurt himself, it is enough.

There will be no people who say that women must marry and men must marry wives, and the idea they have accepted since childhood is to respect the choices of others, as long as they do not violate the law of the country, they are at will, and their own lives are their own decisions.

The second child, Shen Zhihuai, married his wife Yuan Wan, and had a son, Shen Xiuran, and a daughter, Shen Qingdai.

The third child is Shen Zhixing's family.

"This year, my aunt has something to do, and she is still outside, so it is inconvenient to come back to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony. ”

Shen Bujiao pursed his lips: "I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, I miss her a little!"

Shen Qingdai hugged her and comforted her softly: "The eldest aunt will come back for the New Year." Scratched her nose: "Do you miss your aunt, or do you want your aunt to bring you fun and delicious food?!"
