The Gulfstream G550 took off from Jiaoyang International Airport in Cai Kang Province and arrived at Xinwo Airport 45 minutes later. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The leaders of Xinwo City were already waiting at the airport. Due to time constraints, the province has explained that it will not hold a welcome ceremony. As soon as I got off the plane, the leaders of the local government came to greet me warmly. After some greetings, accompanied by provincial and municipal leaders, the Li brothers boarded the bus and went directly to Qingshan Village, Qingshan Town, Dalong County.

Minibuses run along wide highways.

The green hills on both sides of the highway are like daisies, lush green, and green waves, which make the sisters Li Hanqing and Li Hanmei, who have lived in the metropolis for a long time, feel refreshing and pleasant.

After a while, they saw a village suddenly appear on the left side of the road, at the foot of the towering mountains. The village sits on a wide flat land with green ground and villas and western-style buildings. These houses are red bricks and blue tiles, of different heights, and are scattered in a patchwork manner.

To the south of the village, a wide river meanders quietly through the middle of the village like a green band.

"Wow! It's so beautiful, it's so cool!"

"That's the river, right? I'm going to catch fish. ”

Seeing the wonderful picture in front of them, Li Hanqing and Li Hanmei couldn't help but cry out excitedly, cheered loudly, and praised again and again.

The car got off the highway and made its way through the tree-lined concrete road. Then, a majestic high-rise building gradually came into view, and the three big characters of "Zongqin Pavilion" on the top of the building were very eye-catching.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the edge of the "Clan Pavilion" building.

"Qingqing, Meimei, it's here, it's time to get home!" Que Ni said loudly, "Everyone get ready to get off the bus, bring your luggage, and pay attention to safety." ”

Vice Governor Wei and their family, in order not to affect the Li family's funeral affairs, sat courtesically for half an hour in the old house of Libanzhen, and then returned to Xinwo City to investigate the work they were in charge of.

Finally returned to the embrace of the hometown where he was raised, where every grass and tree, every family, every yard, every sand and every stone, is so simple and kind!

In the early years, when the ancestors of the Li family built the ancestral house, they were very devout that the success or failure of a family was closely related to the feng shui of the house and the ancestral tomb, so when selecting the site of the ancestral house, they were extremely particular about the terrain, sunshine, wind direction, climate and natural landscape, and every link involved had to be strictly analyzed and accurately calculated by the feng shui master, and the orientation and layout of the building were determined accordingly.

As children, the Li brothers lived with other uncles and sisters in this large family of nearly 1,000 square meters.

This building is divided into two floors, masonry and civil engineering structure, the corridor is paved with blue and blue pebbles, the roof is covered with thick green tiles, and stone carvings, wood carvings, gray sculptures, murals and so on abound in the courtyard, exquisite craftsmanship and lifelike.

At the same time, the courtyard is planted with osmanthus trees, tea trees, peonies and other tree species, which brought a lot of laughter and happiness to their childhood.

The stars change, and time passes. After two centuries of ups and downs, this ancient building still stands tall and intact.

The new generation of Li clan people went south and north, worked hard, achieved fame one after another, moved out of the old houses where they were raised, and built villas and small western-style buildings with modern characteristics one after another.

After the Li brothers developed their careers, they received a letter from their clan relatives, mentioning the decline of the ancestral hall and the urgent matters to be solved, and immediately generously donated money to decorate the Li family's ancestral hall dedicated to their ancestors and ancestors, making the ancestral hall more spacious, bright and solemn.

The structure of the Li family ancestral hall is rigorous, the momentum is extraordinary, the main hall and its two sides of the hall are flying eaves and warping angles, and the dragons are spine.

The ancestral hall is located in the river valley basin of Qingshan Village, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. The ancestral hall has two halls, 26 large and small living rooms, and 100 and 4 houses, covering an area of 5,600 square meters.

The pine and cypress in the courtyard are solemn and quiet, the mountains and rivers depend on each other, and the incense is very prosperous.

The main entrance to the ancestral hall was designed by skilled craftsmen and is flanked by huge marble pillars engraved with a pair of gold couplets.

In front of the gate is a large flat with a golden chrysanthemum-like pattern paved with pebbles, and in front of the large flat is a half-moon-shaped pond, with microwave ripples in the pond, swimming fish playing in the water, Qihua Yao grass, dotted among them, beautiful.

Standing in front of the door and looking north, but seeing the mountains and mountains, full of greenery, the mountain peaks are like practice, like a dragon flying, majestic side, magnificent, all make people's hearts stir.

At the same time as repairing and decorating the ancestral hall of the Li family, the Li brothers once again donated money and built a six-storey building called "Zongqin Pavilion" next to the ancestral hall, which was designed according to the hotel-style apartment and had all the facilities.

In order to protect and manage the ancestral hall and ancestral house of the Li family, the Li family has set up a nine-member ancestral hall management committee to be responsible for the inspection, maintenance and repair of the ancestral hall and ancestral house on a daily basis. In addition to the first and second floors of the "Clan Pavilion" for the management personnel to live, the other floors are all for the ancestors from all over the country to trace the roots and pay homage to the ancestors.

When they came back this time, the Li brothers decided that all the family members and entourage must live in the Zongqin Pavilion to express their respect and love for their ancestors.

A group of twelve of them lived on the sixth floor of the clan building.

From the window of the room, you can see the panoramic view of the ancestral hall and ancestral house.

The mourning hall is located in the center of the main hall of the Li Clan's ancestral hall.

The brothers chestnut and chestnut are here to hold a final farewell ceremony for their mother in the most solemn way. Relatives and friends from all walks of life, fathers and villagers, and representatives from all walks of life have come to the mourning hall to offer incense, wishing the elderly a good journey.

The men, women and children of the Li family wore linen and filial piety, and knelt down to thank the people who came to mourn one by one.

According to local customs, the Li brothers must keep vigil in the mourning hall for seven days and seven nights.

On the third day, seeing that Che Miao, Que Ni, Li Hanqing, and Li Hanmei sisters were tired and yawning, and after the Li brothers obtained the consent of the elders in the clan, they let them go to sleep first, leaving only the brothers to accompany and wait in the mourning hall.

Several days of running and socializing have exhausted Che Miao and Que Ni. They returned to their rooms and stretched as they supervised the children's baths. After settling them in, they went to wash up, changed into their pajamas, and lay down with a deep sense of tiredness.

The brothers Kuribanjin and Kuribantan sat on the rattan chairs on both sides of the offering table, staring at the statue of her mother with a kind smile above the mourning hall, and quietly guarding her ashes.

The incense and candles on the offering table were burning, and the wisps of smoke rose in a curling manner, waving on the mourning hall, lingering.

I don't know how long it took, but the brothers couldn't resist the deep fatigue anymore and fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
