Chapter 304: Continuing the Genealogy
"That's right, it's just that I didn't expect that after so many generations, and I live in such a remote place, the Qin family in Wuzhou will still come to the door." Qin Ziling said.
In the country where he once lived, clan power had a deep impact on history.
The basis for the longevity of the family is the ancestral hall, family tree, and clan power, through which the family consciousness is strengthened, the family unity is maintained, and it becomes a cohesive force.
Therefore, what Shao E said, Qin Ziling is still easy to understand.
"Speaking of which, starting from the young master, you are actually five generations, not yet seven generations, not many generations." Shao E said.
Qin Ziling was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that in the country where he once lived, there was a saying in history that the big sect would not move for a hundred generations, and the fifth generation of the small sect would move away, but in the country of Great Qi, the big sect would still not move for a hundred generations, but the small sect would move for the seventh generation, not the fifth generation.
Therefore, according to this rule, even if Qin Ziling's great-grandfather belongs to a small sect, Qin Ziling and the descendants of his great-grandfather and brother's ancestors are still the same, and there are still two generations behind before they can be regarded as "intimacy".
"But I listened to that person, the reason why they found this side this time should have something to do with the fact that the sect of the young master's great grandfather is now in power. Therefore, in terms of continuing the genealogy, even if the young master is separated by such five generations and lives in Fanghua County, they have traveled all the way to find the door. Shao E followed up and added.
"I see, no matter what, since the people have come all the way to the door, I have to meet him, and I have recently wanted to go out again. Let's talk to the clansmen first, and if it's appropriate, go to the Qin family in Wuzhou to have a look. Qin Ziling nodded and said.
After that, Qin Ziling and Shao E walked out of the main hall one after the other, rode the blood goshawk and flew all the way towards the Qin Mansion.
Before Qin Ziling arrived home, he saw a luxury carriage parked at the gate of Qin's mansion.
Pulling the cart were four three-grade exotic beast horses with a single horn on their heads and blood-red manes, and the blood cloud horses.
The curtain of the carriage is embroidered with a pattern.
The outline of the pattern is in the style of a shield, but on the left and right sides of the shield, there is a four-clawed dragon clasp on the top, stretching out the mighty dragon head.
In the center of the shield is a Qin character.
A groom was combing the mane of the blood cloud horse with a comb, and he was impressively cultivated.
Riding on the back of the Blood Goshawk and seeing the scene below, Qin Ziling couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, and then patted the Blood Goshawk's head and flew down to the backyard of the Qin Mansion.
After the Qin Mansion was rebuilt, the mansion was much more magnificent than before, and it occupied a much larger area.
The backyard has a dedicated area for the animals.
After placing the blood goshawk, Qin Ziling came to the middle hall of the front yard.
In the middle hall, Cui Yun is chatting with an elegant temperament and elegant attitude, and at first glance, it looks like an old man in Tsing Yi from a big family drinking tea and chatting.
The cultivation of the old man in Tsing Yi is not high, only the realm of a martial artist, but a pair of middle-aged men and women sitting under him, the male has the cultivation of the late stage of bone refining, and the female is the great qi refiner in the middle stage of the True Yuan.
In addition to this pair of middle-aged men and women, there are also two beautiful young maidservants standing behind the old man in Tsing Yi, and the maidservants have good luck and cultivation.
Although Qin Ziling now has several grandmasters under his account, and his own strength is even more terrifying, he was still very surprised to see a member of the Qin family in Wuzhou who came out to do business, but he had such a big style despite his cultivation as only a martial artist.
"Brother Tian Chou, he is Qin Ziling, the son of his late husband Tian Meng." Seeing Qin Ziling coming in, Cui Yun first said a word to the old man in Tsing Yi on the side, and then beckoned to Qin Ziling: "Ziling, come and see Uncle Tianchou clan." ”
Qin Ziling strode forward, and then bowed towards the old man in Tsing Yi and said, "Ziling has seen the clan uncle!" ”
"Not bad, not bad, extraordinary bearing, a talent. I didn't expect your great-grandfather to move to this place in Fangqi County, and he would be able to cultivate such an excellent descendant as you. Qin Tianchou looked Qin Ziling up and down for a while before stroking his beard with a happy face.
"Uncle Clan has won the prize." Qin Ziling said modestly.
"Your family is now your single line, you are the master of this family, you should sit down and talk." Qin Tianchou said with a smile, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, without the arrogant and proud posture of the Shangzhou Wang clan at all.
"Yes." Qin Ziling replied humbly, and then sat down.
"The country has a history, the land has aspirations, and the family has a genealogy, and this time it is time for my Wuzhou Qin family tree to be renewed once every 30 years. Sixty years ago, a member of the clan came to Fangli County and entered into the family tree the descendants of your great-grandfather's branch, when your great-grandfather was married and had a son, your grandfather, but he was still a child.
Later, another thirty years passed, and it stands to reason that the Qin family in Wuzhou should come to Fangqi County again to continue to repair the genealogy. However, because the branch of your great-grandfather is too far away, your great-grandfather's talent is also mediocre, he has not made many achievements, the people are not prosperous, and the age is far away, plus the Qin family was in power at that time and it was another branch, our lineage can only be regarded as a side branch, so no one paid attention to your great-grandfather's branch, and he didn't send anyone to register. So your father's name is not included in the family tree, and you are naturally not included in the family tree.
Twenty years ago, my uncle joined the Wuzhou Qin family and was promoted to be the head of the Wuzhou Qin family. My uncle's grandfather, my great-grandfather, was a half-brother to your great-grandfather. Therefore, in this way, you now belong to the main faction of the Qin family in Wuzhou, and speaking of your age, the seniority in the family is considered high. It's just that there are so few people, and it's just you. Which of the tribes below our main lineage is not a few dozen or even hundreds of people? Speaking of the back, Qin Tianchou couldn't help but shake his head.
Qin Ziling was stunned by the relationship between the main veins and branches, his great-grandfather, his cousin's uncle, etc., and it took a while to smooth out his thoughts.
"No wonder my grandfather and father passed away, and after the family tree was destroyed, my mother never mentioned anything about the Qin family in Wuzhou. Originally, after they came to renew the genealogy once when their grandfather was a child, because they saw that their great-grandfather was mediocre, had no achievements, was not prosperous, and there were no outstanding people in their descendants, and they were located in a remote area, the Qin family in Wuzhou let them fend for themselves and no longer paid attention.
If it weren't for the change of hands of the Qin family in Wuzhou this time, the blood relationship between the great grandfather and the current patriarch would be relatively close, and it is estimated that it would not be possible to send people to such a remote place to find the descendants of the clan. The reason why this clan uncle spoke to me so politely, and said it clearly, I am afraid that in addition to the relatively close blood relationship, it should also be because he saw that my Qin family is quite powerful now, which has attracted attention.
Otherwise, if my Qin family is still showing signs of decline and living a poor life, I am still only a martial artist when I am old, it is estimated that this clan uncle will at most simply enter his name neatly, and leave directly, and in another thirty years, it is difficult to say whether there will be anyone again. ”
After Qin Ziling smoothed out his thoughts, he quickly bowed his hand to Qin Tianchou and said, "I see, it's a pity that my grandfather and father are no longer here, otherwise they would be very happy if they knew that someone from the master's family had come to find them and entered their names into the family tree." ”
