Chapter 33 Creating the First Precedent in Life
After Tian Miao knew what her sisters thought, she immediately began to plan, and she thought about it properly. One studied medicine with Xizi and the other studied martial arts with Shunzi, which seemed to be quite difficult, but in fact, she knew very well that as long as Bai Yiran was done, it would not be a problem at all.
The Tian family finally lived a few days, busy and peaceful days, and on the 18th day of July, the villagers of the entire Hetian Village gathered at the door of the ancestral hall.
More than eighty percent of Hetian Village are clans with the surname Tian, and today is a special day, whether it is surnamed Tian or not, everyone comes to see the excitement.
Just when everyone was talking about today's miracles, the village chief and others also came to the ancestral hall, accompanied by the patriarch Tian Qiliang, who usually does not come forward.
"Everyone, be quiet, and ask the patriarch to say a few words." After the village chief finished speaking, everyone consciously closed their mouths.
Today's seventy-five-year-old patriarch stood up with full spirit, holding the Tian clan genealogy in his hand. First, the history of the Tian family was briefly introduced, and then today's topic was introduced.
"Tian Youjin is the eldest son of our Tian family, the thirty-seventh generation, but because he has no children for many years. And his eldest daughter, Tian Miao, is smart and virtuous, and volunteered to be the eldest son and has since established a household. Although this matter did not conform to the rules of the ancestors, she was grateful for her sincerity, so she set a precedent. "After all, the old patriarch is an older man, and after saying a lot, he is a little powerless.
Although the village chief Zhou Wangjia is not a member of the Tian family, he is also the son-in-law of the Tian family, and he is the only person in the village who can read and write.
Seeing that the old patriarch was tired, he immediately stepped forward and asked him to sit down, and naturally took over the following things. I saw him say aloud:
"Today in front of the ancestors of the Tian family, I want to ask, Tian Youjin." With the roll call of the village chief, Tian Youjin, who was dressed in new clothes, immediately took a step forward.
"The thirty-seventh generation grandson of the Tian family, Tian Youjin is here." After speaking, he knelt on the futon on the ground, and respectfully kowtowed to the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall.
"Tian Youjin, let Tian Miao be a female son, are you sincere? If you have a boy in the future, will you regret it? When the village chief saw that he had finished kowtowing, he asked.
"Sincerely, even if I have a man in the future, I will never regret it, from now on, Tian Miao will be my eldest son." After Tian Youjin finished speaking, he kowtowed three times to the ancestral hall.
"Get up, Tian Miao kneel." The village chief's expression was very solemn, these procedures were discussed by him and the patriarch, because it was unprecedented, they could only open their minds.
Originally, the patriarch didn't agree with anything, he thought it was too child's play, no matter how soft and hard Tian Zhancai and the village chief were.
In the end, Tian Miao came up with a way, first through Guò Bai Yiran, and asked Xizi to prescribe a medicine that made people hallucinate temporarily.
Then it was lit in the place where the patriarch slept in the shade every day, and finally let Shunzi pretend to be the ancestor of the Tian family, and when the old patriarch woke up, he thought it was the ancestor who appeared, so he took the initiative to find Tian Zhancai, and not only agreed to this matter.
also attaches great importance to this matter, and that positive attitude makes Tian Zhancai and the village chief feel hairy.
And Bai Yiran has a deeper understanding of her, but Xizi is very annoyed, what does she mean? Treat him as a happy little two, right? used him but didn't beg him directly, but always let the master come forward to press him, it's really an uncle who can bear it, and an aunt can't bear it.
"Tian Miao, as the eldest daughter of Tian Youjin, can you voluntarily replace your son with a daughter, and from now on, you will set up a household and send your father and mother to the end of your life?" The village chief only told her to kneel, but did not ask her to kowtow.
"Tian Miao volunteered to be a female son." Tian Miao said the lines that the village chief had confessed before.
"Do you know that this means that you can't leave the Tian clan in your life, you can only recruit in the future, and the children you give birth to can only be surnamed Tian?" The words of the village chief made the people who watched the excitement immediately whisper a lot of discussions.
"Tian Miao knows that from now on, I will be the thirty-eighth generation eldest son and grandson of the Tian family. He will fulfill the obligation of the eldest son, will not insult the reputation of his ancestors, and will carry forward the Tian family. Tian Miao said the oath, his mouth was firm, and his face was solemn.
"Then make an oath." As soon as the village chief's words fell, Tian Youjin and Tian Youbao came to Tian Miao with a long table.
There were several large bowls on the long table, and the thick aroma of wine spread far and wide, and everyone saw this great change in their expressions, this is to make a blood oath?
I saw Tian Zhancai take the lead in cutting his fingers, and then drip a drop in each bowl, and then he handed the knife in his hand to Tian Youjin beside him.
After Tian Youjin did the same, he handed the knife to Tian Miao, and she did the same.
In the end, the patriarch and several elders also dripped their own blood, and Tian Miao looked at the bowl with an indescribable disgust in his heart.
When the village chief saw that they had all completed their movements, he spoke:
"Next, please ask the descendants of the Tian family to come forward and bow down to their ancestors." With his order, those people with foreign surnames all stepped back.
And all those surnamed Tian, regardless of men, women, young and old, all knelt in front of the door of the ancestral hall. The patriarch even opened the door of the ancestral hall, and from the outside, you can clearly see the rows of tablets inside.
After the patriarch opened the door, he knelt directly at the door, and the village chief handed him a bowl of blood wine on the table, only to see that he had words in his mouth, and after a while, he spilled the bowl of blood wine in front of him.
Then the village chief handed another bowl, and after taking it, the patriarch drank half of it, and then threw the remaining half on the ground with the sea bowl.
Like a signal, the Tian clansmen who were kneeling on the ground began to chant words in their mouths. Tian Zhancai, Tian Youjin and Tian Miao, as well as the three clan elders, respectively raised the remaining wine above their heads and bowed to the tablet three times.
Drink half of the blood wine in his hand, and then slam the remaining half and the bowl to the ground. Tian Miao was disgusted by the wine, so she didn't really drink it, but just pretended to swallow it.
"Licheng." As soon as the village chief's words fell, everyone kneeling on the ground got up and came to congratulate Tian Youjin.
"Folks, our family has prepared wine and food, please go to our house to eat Xi'er." As soon as Tian Zhancai's voice fell, everyone cheered.
Although the banquet prepared by the Tian family is not very rich, it can be counted in these ten miles and eight villages.
Tian Youjin has had a son since then, which is really a great joy for the entire Tian family, and this banquet is equivalent to representing the son, since he was born, the third and first birthdays.
Tian Miao put a plate of croquettes and fried eggplant boxes on the tray, and carefully brought them to Bai Yiran's house, things can go so smoothly, Bai Yiran has contributed a lot.
"Why are you still serving food?" Bai Yiran saw the two dishes and asked with some tears and laughter.
"This is what I personally instructed Duo'er to make, I guarantee that you have never eaten such a delicious dish before." Tian Miao replied with a smile.
