Chapter 1980

Therefore, as the suzerain's family, it is necessary to use the ritual of ancestor worship to gather people from the side families every once in a while.

After everyone gets to know each other, get acquainted with each other, and worship the common ancestors together, the connection between the bloodlines will be strengthened.

This is also a necessary way for the extended family to maintain its strength.

Therefore, the Ye family not only holds an ancestor worship ceremony every twelve years, but also revises the entire Ye family's genealogy at the ancestor worship ceremony. Fastest updates

In the 12 years between this 12 years and the previous 12 years, new children will be born in each family, and the older generation will die, and there will also be young adults who will take wives.

Therefore, every twelve years, countless side branches of the Ye family have to report the population changes of their family in the past twelve years to the suzerain.

At that time, the suzerain's family will select a respected old man to personally renew the genealogy, and write the names, deeds, and so on of these people one by one.

The existing Ye family tree records the names of millions of descendants of the Ye family, as well as the names of millions of their spouses, such as the son of the Ye family, the daughter of whose family he married, and the daughter of the Ye family who married the son of whose family.

Every time the genealogy is revised, it is also very solemn.

The mother of the genealogy is stored in a safe with constant temperature and humidity, and the descendants of the Ye family are invited out every time they worship their ancestors.

Please come out and worship after the prayer, and immediately respectfully invite the mother back again.

Subsequently, the family tree is renewed for a new one.

After the new genealogy is renewed, the new genealogy will also be solemnly invited back and kept together with the countless previous mother books.

All the Ye family members regard the genealogy as a family relic, sacred and undesecrated.

And the suzerain's family is the only family that has the right to keep the genealogy, so every time the collateral family comes to worship the ancestors, in addition to bowing to the genealogy, it will also have a natural sense of belonging to the suzerain's family.

This is like the ancient emperors and ministers, through cumbersome etiquette, rituals, strict rules and inheritance, to strengthen the minister's mind, loyal to the emperor.

This is also a big reliance for the suzerain's family to make the side families bow down.

However, Ye Chen no longer had any impression of the Ye family's ancestor worship ceremony.

The last ancestor worship ceremony was twelve years ago, when he was still in the Jinling Welfare Institute;

The last time there was an ancestor worship ceremony was twenty-four years ago, when he was so young that he had no memory of this incident at all.

However, although he could no longer find the memory of the ancestor worship ceremony twenty-four years ago, he was still very clear about the Ye family's ancestor worship ceremony, knowing that this was an extremely grand ceremony for the Ye family, and it was also the grandest worship ceremony for the ancestors and parents.

Therefore, Ye Chen couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart.

He didn't look forward to worshiping the ancestors of the Ye family, he was just looking forward to being able to worship his parents in a justifiable, upright, and grand manner.

The last time he followed Gu Yanzhong to worship his parents, he had to disguise himself as Gu Yanzhong's driver, and he couldn't go to his parents' grave and kowtow with his true identity Ye Chen, which has always been a regret in his mind.

So, he said to Gu Yanzhong: "Uncle Gu, please pass on to my grandfather, just say that I will go to the ancestor worship ceremony of the Qingming Festival!" ”
