"Big brother, you obviously know that you can't ride a horse at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and now your father and son are still galloping here, isn't this a bit too much? This is too disrespectful to the ancestors? Aren't you worried that the ancestors will blame?"

After seeing the person clearly, Li Chuanrong took a step forward, stopped in front of the elderly middle-aged man in the lead, and asked loudly.

"Chuanrong, I'm really embarrassed, it's all your big brother and me. This is not last night, I was ready to rest, Hu Jiguang of Qiancheng heard that your eldest nephew was back, so he rushed over overnight and came to the door, hoping to accept your eldest nephew as a disciple. This Hu Jiguang came all the way over, and he was a guest at the door, and the two of them had a few more drinks together. When Master Hu left, I lay on the bed alone like a pancake, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, always thinking about whether to let your eldest nephew worship this Hu Jiguang as a teacher, and I didn't close my eyes until it was almost dawn. It's going to be late. Only then did he rush over in a hurry, offending his ancestors. I will definitely kowtow a few more times in front of my ancestors, beg my ancestors for forgiveness, and ask my ancestors to bless my son, that is, your eldest nephew, to be able to meet a good teacher, achieve success in cultivation as soon as possible, reach the heavenly position as soon as possible, and preferably become an innate person. ”

After hearing Li Chuanrong's questioning, the middle-aged man made a perfunctory confession with his hands in fists, and then explained the reason for riding a horse at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

From his expression to his movements, no one could see the slightest apology from him, but felt that he was here to show off, to show off his son.

Who is this Hu Jiguang, as a fifth-level master of the Heavenly Rank, as long as you live within a hundred miles radius of Qiancheng, you are an octogenarian, and even a child who has just been enlightened has heard of his name, and this name is really like thunder.

This Hu Jiguang's cultivation talent is extremely terrifying, he has stepped into the ranks of heavenly masters before he is forty years old, and now he is already at the fifth level of the heavenly rank before he is fifty-nine. For Hu Jiguang, cultivation does not seem to have any bottlenecks, as long as the cultivation reaches the natural breakthrough, even after reaching the heavenly position, it will break through to the first level in less than two years, and if he continues to cultivate at this speed, he may break through to the peak of the heavenly position before the age of sixty, and may even become a legendary innate master.

Just such a grandmaster who may become an innate master in the future comes to your house and begs to accept your son as a disciple, but you still push back, as if you don't look down on others. Who are you coaxing?

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the people next to him invariably had a word in their hearts - bragging. Indeed, your son's cultivation talent is very good, and it is unmatched in our entire Li family, but you don't want anyone to accept your son as an apprentice, that is the future innate master, if I hear this news, I will definitely cry and shout to send my own child over quickly, not to mention a beginner disciple, even if you click your finger twice, maybe your cultivation will be able to rise by leaps and bounds.

"Big brother, as for apologizing to me, there is no need between our brothers. This eldest nephew can be favored by Master Hu Jiguang Hu and want to accept him as a disciple, and I, as an uncle, am also happy for him. But the rules are the rules, since the rules handed down by the ancestors, you must get off the horse and get off the sedan chair within 100 meters of the ancestral hall, I also hope that you can abide by it, eldest brother. I also ask the eldest brother and the eldest nephew to lead the horse to the opposite side of the horse and tie it to the stone, and then walk over. As for how to ask the ancestors for sin, I think the elders will come to a final conclusion. I can't say anything. ”

Facing the middle-aged man's show-off, Li Chuanrong remained silent, just calmly coping with the rules handed down by his ancestors.

"Ha, ha. Chuanrong, I didn't think that I hadn't seen you for a year, but you became old-fashioned and old-fashioned. ”

Seeing the people slowly surrounding to see the excitement, and then hearing Li Chuanrong speak in the rules of the ancestors, the middle-aged man also knew that on the important day of the New Year's ancestor worship, and then there was a quarrel at the door of the ancestral hall, it would really be a betrayal of the relatives, maybe when he went to the ancestral hall for a while, he would remove the family tree from the family tree for the crime of colliding with the ancestors, so he had to respond stupidly, waved his hand and beckoned the young man behind him to turn around and lead the horse to the direction of the dismount stone in the distance.

Coming out of the ancestral hall to see the lively crowd, as soon as I saw that there would be no excitement to see, plus these are all people in their own family on this day, if they really want to make something, everyone's faces are not bright, so as soon as they saw that the contradiction was solved, they all turned around and returned to the ancestral hall, after all, in today, ancestor worship is the biggest thing.

This will be the time soon, as long as the two fathers and sons tie up the horses and come back, then all the people who will go home to worship their ancestors this year will be all there, so Li Chuanrong hurriedly ordered his younger brother to go into the ancestral hall to see if there is anything that needs help, after all, only his old father is alone in it to deal with many family members, and it is best to have someone around who runs errands and fights.

Li Yichen is not feeling well today, originally Li Chuanrong intended to let Li Yichen accompany his uncle in, and he can be outside alone, anyway, after the father and son come over, just close the door of the ancestral hall. But Li Yichen has to stay here and accompany his father. Li Chuanrong thought about it and felt that even if Li Yichen went in, he wouldn't be able to help, anyway, there was nothing to do here, so he let him stay at the gate with him.

"Uncle, big brother. Happy New Year!"

Seeing the father and son bolting their horses and walking back, when they just stepped on the steps at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Li Yichen greeted them beside him.

"Hey, isn't this Li Yichen? Why are you injured? Since you can't cultivate, don't be competitive, you see how worried the people in the family are that you are injured. Oh yes. I heard that you were injured in the academy competition, how can you tell me how they can be so ruthless? Yichen, you too, you quickly admit defeat knowing that your strength is not as good as the other party, and you are still holding on, it is really a shame to save face. I said Chuanrong, why don't you let Yichen go to this small academy after the New Year, just come to the academy in the county. That's right, just come to Nankang Academy, come to Nankang Academy, with his eldest brother covering him, no one will dare to bully him. ”

Faced with Li Yichen's greeting, the middle-aged man seemed to have just seen Li Yichen, first surprised, and then sneered at him.

This middle-aged man's name is Li Yu, and he is the eldest grandson of Sanfang, who is three years older than Li Chuanrong, and he also grew up together. This Li Yu's grandfather and Li Chuanrong's grandfather are brothers of the same mother, but his grandfather is the third, and Li Chuanrong's grandfather is the eldest son, so in the end, the position of the head of the family was inherited by Li Chuanrong's grandfather.

Li Chuanrong's grandfather has a total of eight brothers, but there are more descendants of Li Chuanrong's big house and third room, and the other rooms are all weak. After the old people passed away, in order to compete for the position of the parents, Sanfang was eyeing the sidelines, especially when Li Yu's father served as a small official in the town, which was even more arrogant, trying to seize the position of the parents. Although he didn't tear his face at that time, Sanfang still kept making small moves in private.

In the end, due to the righteousness, Li Quansheng inherited the position of the parent, but the relationship between the two families did completely cool, except for the New Year's Festival, they basically did not interact with each other. In addition, when he was in Tangjiang College, although Li Yu was considered to have a good talent, he was pressed by Li Chuanrong, who was three years younger than him. In the entire Tangjiang College, they only know that there is a Li Chuanrong in the Li family, but they don't know that there is a Li Yu, so the relationship between Li Yu and Li Chuanrong's family is even more ordinary. It is said that after hearing the news that Li Yichen could not cultivate, he drank happily.

After becoming an adult, Li Yu originally wanted to be a teacher at Tangjiang College, but he didn't know why Tangjiang College didn't want him later, so he had to go to Rongjiang College, which had a poor reputation, next to the county seat, to become a teacher.

Although this Li Yu's cultivation talent is average, he doesn't know what luck he has taken, and he gave birth to a good son, that is, the young man who followed him, his name is Li Fan, and he is two years older than Li Yichen.

But this Li Fan has shown extraordinary cultivation talent since he was a child, he was enlightened at the age of seven, and when he was just twelve years old, he was already at the peak of the ninth level of the human rank, and he broke through to the status at the age of thirteen. After reaching the status, the speed of cultivation slowed down a little, but it was also a step a year, and now he is only fifteen years old, and he is already at the fifth level of status. The talent of wheel cultivation, not only the entire Li family, is really unsurpassed, but also in the entire Tangjiang Town, even including the county seat and even to Qiancheng, it can be regarded as one of the best among all the younger generations. So this is the reason why Li Yu bragged just now that Hu Jiguang had a crush on his son, and he was still a little reluctant.

If you compare this Li Fan, Li Yichen and Li Xiaowen, then this Li Fan is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses, while Li Xiaowen can only be regarded as a mediocre talent, and Li Yichen is completely a waste material.

"Then I really have to thank you, big brother, but it's not too early for this time, we still have to hurry in, don't delay the time to worship our ancestors." ”

In the face of Li Yu's sneering words, Li Chuanrong didn't say much, but just told the other party that it was not too early now, don't delay the ancestor worship.

After speaking, Li Chuanrong stretched out his right hand and signaled Li Yudi to hurry in.

When Li Yu and his son entered the gate, Li Chuanrong and Li Yichen closed the door of the ancestral hall and followed Li Yu and his son to the main hall of the ancestral hall.

By the time Li Yichen's father and son walked to the main hall, the hall was already full of people, and everyone stood in several rows according to their seniority. Standing at the innermost is the chapter generation, because the people of Li Quansheng's generation have passed away except for Li Quansheng, so Li Quansheng is standing there alone in the first row.

In the second row are the heirlooms, there are about three rows standing, and there are more than 30 people. At the top of the list is Li Chuanrong's second brother, that is, the eldest son of Li Chuanrong's second uncle, as for Li Chuanrong's eldest brother, that is, his uncle's son, he will be standing next to an hourglass in the corner, calculating how much time is left to be auspicious.

The latter are the loyal generation, and this generation has the most people, adding up to seventy or eighty people standing together.

The last one is the filial piety generation, this generation is Li Xiaowen standing at the front, followed by more than a dozen teenagers of the same age and five or six children of three or four years old.

On either side of the hall stood a row of boys, all over five and under ten, with either a basin of water in their hands or three towels in their hands. These boys are also filial piety.

As for the younger, they had their father in their arms.

Although there were more than 100 people in the ancestral hall, none of them talked to each other, so the entire ancestral hall seemed solemn and quiet.

Coming in from behind were all lightly finding their place and standing up. Because Li Yichen was the youngest among the loyal generations, he directly stood in the last position of the team.

When Li Yu and Li Chuanrong found their positions and just stood up, Li Yichen saw that the hourglass in the corner had dropped the last sand.

"The ancestor worship ceremony begins now!"

As the last sand in the hourglass fell, Li Chuanrong's eldest brother announced the official start of the ancestor worship ceremony.
