Chapter 652 - Hurtful Customs
Changwu County, Yunxiu knows.
It is a typical military town in the south.
Not to mention an army of 100,000, it is more than enough to accommodate an army of 300,000.
And this time she hesitated because she planned to rush to Jinling to solve the things around her, and now she will not delay going to Jinling after she comes back for three or four months.
Having made up his mind, Yunxiu has been busy for a while.
While busy with the banquet, he was preparing for going to Shudi.
The banquet communicated with Zhao Lingping in the logistics support department, and it was quickly approved by Yunxiu. The embroidery village and the cloth village were closed for two days the next day, and almost the whole village came to help.
More than a dozen cauldrons were propped up, and more than a dozen chefs began to work non-stop at noon the next day, worked until midnight, and got up early the next morning and continued to work.
The weather was still very cold in the first month, and in order to eat the feast, everyone gathered countless straw mats and bamboo mats from each household early the next morning to enclose the square.
In this area, the wind will not blow.
In addition, today is a sunny day, and everyone has enjoyed a good feast.
After the feast, the cauldron was not removed.
Five days later, the ancestral hall was built, and another day was waited, and on the day when the second dragon raised its head in early February, everyone in the village dressed up as much as possible and waited in front of the ancestral hall square.
The chef in front of the square returned to work, and tables, chairs and benches were also set up.
Wait until noon, open the ancestral hall, and everyone worships the ancestors of the Zhao family in turn.
said to be the ancestor of the Zhao family, but in fact, it was Zhao Zhengyang, who moved up two generations from Zhao Decang's generation, that is, Zhao Decang's grandfather.
The ancestors of their family occupy the main position in the ancestral hall, and the other lineages are placed in turn.
Midday.
It's time.
More than 20 firecrackers rang out at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
Received by Zhao Zhengyang, Zhao Lingping, Yun Xiu, and Zhao Decang, the four bright characters of the Zhao family ancestral hall appeared on the plaque, and everyone cheered.
It was also started by them, one by one, entering the ancestral hall and bowing down.
The ancestral hall was built very large, and it was no problem to pass on dozens of generations, but it was still a question whether the glory of the Zhao family could continue for dozens of generations.
But things that are so long ago are not what they think, they just need to live the life in front of them.
There are hundreds of people in the village, a group of twenty, and it is fast.
Soon the worship was over.
After worshipping, everyone stood in a row in the courtyard in front of the ancestral hall.
The yard is huge, and hundreds of people standing inside it occupy only a quarter of the area.
"Now let me announce the clan rules to you, the clan rules are discussed with Zhengyang and Yunxiu, except for the first one, the remaining nine have been voted by our whole village, and the vote rate of each one is more than seventy percent."
"Article 1 of the Zhao family rules: men and women are equal, and all people surnamed Zhao can enter the ancestral hall at any time, regardless of gender......"
Zhao Lingping is old, and his voice is still loud, announcing the clan rules one after another.
However, this family rule is too different from this modern family rule, it is not strict at all, but of course it is very binding, after all, most of the ideas in it are mentioned by Yun Xiu.
In particular, Article 1 is the equality of men and women.
In this era, only men could enter the ancestral hall, but women could not, which was unacceptable to her. So before agreeing to build the ancestral hall, she had already discussed the matter with Zhao Lingping.
It was because Zhao Lingping agreed to this article that she agreed to build the ancestral hall.
