350 Second Uncle Ancestor
Nine days to catch the moon, down to the five seas to catch turtles.
The reason why the sea is lonely is because people can't see the bustling world beneath the surface.
The fish build a rainbow bridge, and the dolphin nods at her.
Although the trick was simple, it allowed the little guy to see a different sea, and also calmed her restless heart.
Finally, a big smile came back to the little one's face.
She stood on the side of the ship, facing the sun, her little face flushed, like a ripe apple, and she looked extraordinarily sweet and seductive.
When the breeze blows a thousand waves, the sound of the waves is like the most pleasant accompaniment in the world, accompanied by the yacht gradually sailing into the distance.
And while Chen Xi's family of three was busy teasing dolphins......
Daiyu Island in the distance is also particularly lively.
Today is the clan sacrifice day of the Jiang clan, and the Jiang clan people on each island will come to the main island, and arrange them under the Qixia Peak in order of generation, and under the auspices of the Si Ming Xuannu, they will worship the ancestors with the patriarch.
After years of reproduction and recuperation, the Jiang clan has flourished regardless of the main veins of the side branches.
If the main island is compared to the county seat, then the remaining sixteen small islands are the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the county seat.
Today, the Jiang clan gathered on the main island of Daiyu, just like the people of a county town have run to the county seat.
As far as the eye can see, from the pier to the top of Qixia Peak, it is densely packed with people.
Qixia Peak is not high, and a bluestone road winds from the top of the mountain to the nearest pier.
Those who can stand on this stone road are all descendants of the Jiang family or those with higher seniority in the collateral lineage.
And it is precisely because there are too many people that even the beaches that are flooded by the tide from time to time are full of young people with immature faces.
Throughout the island, young and young wear large sashes on their heads, wear blue and black ceremonial robes, and clasp their hands round in front of their chests.
As long as the bell rings on the top of the mountain, everyone will bow down to the top of Qixia Peak.
'Boom~'
'Boom~'
The dull and distant bells rang continuously, startling the birds of the forest to flutter into the sky and begin to circle around the island.
One person may not feel anything, but when thousands of people bow at the same time, it gives people a sense of solemnity.
Only by being in it can we realize our own insignificance.
And this is the tradition of the Jiang family.
The bell rang thirty-six times, and when the last one rang, a woman's voice suddenly resounded throughout the island.
"After the ceremony, all clans, please move to the North Island, where today's clan banquet will be held......"
After hearing this, the island suddenly lost its previous solemn scene.
As if they had untied something, everyone immediately gathered together in twos and threes, ready to go to the North Island for dinner.
But then, the woman's voice suddenly rang out again.
This time, however, her tone was no longer as calm and elegant as before, but became a little hurried and nervous.
"Wait! Those who are above the Yuan generation of each clan should stay, the patriarch has something important to discuss with you!"
Hearing this, everyone on the island couldn't help but whisper.
More than a generation?
At least that's grandparents......
Is there something big going on in the clan?
Because the notice came too suddenly, everyone didn't react immediately, and after the woman urged again, all the Jiang clan talents above the Yuan generation turned to Qixia Peak.
……
On Qixia Peak.
Outside the Jiang ancestral hall.
When the sacrifice was made just now, people had to keep a certain distance between them, but now that the sacrifice was completed, the patriarch called everyone over, and the ancestral hall square was naturally crowded in an instant.
Among the people present, the lowest rank was the same generation as the patriarch Jiang Yuankui.
It is conceivable how important the things that the patriarch wants to say today must be.
But......
When everyone above the Yuan generation came to the square, everyone learned an important information from the mouths of the bystanders.
It was not the patriarch who summoned everyone to come, but he had been in retreat for many years, and many people even thought that he had already passed away, but there was no funeral - the second uncle, Jiang Zhengqing!
Jiang Zhengqing has a very high seniority, and the reason why he is called the second uncle is not because he is the second, but because he is not a descendant.
The so-called lineage is the descendant of the first patriarch of the Jiang family.
It probably means that if a father gives birth to two sons, the eldest can be called a descendant, and the second can only be called a collateral.
Then the eldest son inherits the title of lineage, and the second son becomes a collateral line.
And so on, so as to maintain the purity of the lineage.
This kind of thinking may be difficult to understand with modern thinking, but for a big family like the Jiang family, preserving the bloodline is the top priority in the clan.
This is a family rule and an ancestral precept.
Of course, if you look at it from Chen Xi's eyes, these people are actually just a bunch of straight men who don't understand genetics......
There are more and more people in the square.
Everyone was whispering, you and I said a word, so that the square was about to turn into a vegetable market.
At this time, a woman who looked to be in her forties, but still charming, walked out of the main hall of the ancestral hall quickly.
The woman looked at the noisy crowd, and her brows suddenly furrowed.
"Silence!"
The woman only opened her mouth slightly, but her words were like a thunderous explosion, and immediately everyone's ears buzzed.
"What kind of place is this?
The woman looked around with a cold face, but everywhere she looked, everyone hung their heads and ears.
For a moment, the audience was silent, and the falling needles could be heard.
Seeing that everyone stopped talking, the woman stood on the steps outside the gate of the ancestral hall, as if she was about to announce something.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, before she could make a sound, a white figure suddenly fell from the sky and fell straight to the bronze giant dome in the square.
The woman instinctively wanted to scold the man, but when she saw the appearance of the person who came, she immediately bowed down and saluted: "Say hello to the second uncle." ”
Hearing this, everyone looked sideways.
Immediately after, they followed the example of a woman, turned around and saluted respectfully to the man, and shouted in unison, "Greetings to the second uncle!"
This scene is very similar to the ancient emperor's court.
Everyone's voices fell, and the second uncle who had received much attention smiled lightly: "Get up, I'm not the patriarch, why are you so respectful?"
"Second Uncle Xie. ”
After hearing the response of the second uncle, everyone straightened up, and then looked at the main hall of the ancestral hall without squinting.
At this time, Jiang Yuankui, who had been staying in the ancestral hall, slowly walked out of the main hall as if he had just heard the movement.
Although he was the patriarch, he was many generations shorter, so he had to bow respectfully to the second uncle like everyone else.
"Say hello to the second uncle. ”
However.
Although Jiang Yuankui asked the second uncle to say goodbye, the second uncle did not give him a response.
I saw that after the second uncle looked Jiang Yuankui up and down, it seemed that he suddenly thought of something, and coldly threw out an earth-shattering sentence.
"How long have I been in retreat? Why have I even changed the patriarch...... Is your dad dead?"
