Chapter 372: Genealogy
"Hurry up, what are you going to do? Move quickly, the auspicious time will be here soon, if you delay the effort, see how I clean up the few of you! ”
"I know Uncle Village Chief, what are you doing when you get up in the morning, there is no shortage of you in so many of our young men, if you fall down and tell us to do something." Ning He said with a grin.
Village Chief Ning took the cane in his hand and knocked his buttocks lightly or heavily, "Give me less light or heavy here, go to work, Changrong has become a big official, this is a great joy for our Ning family!" In the future, this will be our ancestral hall, and you will treat me carefully! Village Chief Ning said with a serious face.
After the news of Ning Chang's official position was passed back, Village Chief Ning immediately pooled money with everyone to buy a large courtyard as the ancestral hall of their Ning family, and there was also a place to worship ancestors in the village before.
Later, they fled in a hurry, and those tablets also fell, and over the years, incense was enshrined one after another, and it was originally in the place where they originally worshiped their ancestors, it could be used as an ancestral hall, but the village chief Ning felt that it was not grand enough, where was the place to worship the ancestors worthy of a court official? Only then did he and the people of the Ning family pay for a larger mansion, which was specially used as an ancestral hall.
Originally, they just thought that Ning's people would pay money, but not all of them were surnamed Ning, such as Sun Carpenter, and these people with foreign surnames also thought about paying money, they had lived and suffered together for so many years, it can be said that they were different from ordinary fellow villagers, so to put it mildly, Village Chief Ning reluctantly agreed to accept their silver.
A solemn house, everywhere is very grandly arranged, Ning Village Chief also specially invited someone to find a time to formally worship, and the names of Ning Changrong, Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi's family are all registered on the genealogy, the genealogy is generally only on the men and rarely records women, it can be said that there is basically none, the names of Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi can be said to be the first time in the world.
Looking up at the sky, seeing that the time was about to come, Village Chief Ning hurriedly commanded everyone, and there were a bunch of ancestors of the Ning family on the ranks, and the sacrifices in front were chickens, ducks and fish, and a big pig's head, as well as some fruits and pastries.
Village Chief Ning stood at the top and behind some of the other elders in the village, and at the back were the young people, the junior children.
"The ancestors and the ancestors are above, now there is a clansman Ning Changrong who fights for the Ning clan and has become a senior official of the imperial court, I hope you have a spirit in the sky, bless their family with peace and security, and bless our Ning clan......" Ning Village Chief held the incense in his hand, bent down and broke the thoughts, and only after a while did he finish the words in his stomach, and slowly put the incense respectfully on the incense burner in front of him.
The others in the back did the same, first saying that Ning Changrong's family was out, then saying their own prayers, and finally asking for the blessing of their ancestors, incense, and the action was done in one go.
The re-transcribed genealogy, said to be re-transcribed, in fact, there was no one recorded in front of it, and the people that Village Chief Ning still remembered were all a generation older than him, or peers of the same age as him, and the genealogy was only recorded by these people, and there were no people who had any promising.
"From now on, our Ning clan will be dominated by Evergreen, and he will be the patriarch of our Ning clan!" Village Chief Ning held the family tree in his hand and stood solemnly in front of everyone.
The two families of Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San should have stood in the row of young people, and their positions were relatively backward, but because they were Ning Changrong's relatives, they could stand in front.
"Agreed."
A young man spoke up, and was knocked lightly by the elders next to him, and warned with his eyes, "Don't speak." ”
These things are all angry with their elders in private, where is it their turn to say what those young men say. Village Chief Ning said this just to inform everyone.
Ning Changrong received the letter only to know that he had actually become the head of the clan.
One of his family started from Ning Changrong's original father's generation, and everyone above didn't know about it.
But in fact, it is equivalent to the genealogy from Ning Changrong, Ning Changrong's original father was just an ordinary farmer, and his merits were definitely not as good as Ning Chang's glory eyes who became a court official, even if the world was divided, it was also a big official under the princes of one side.
Speaking of which, in fact, Wang Xiujuan's age is more suitable for being a patriarch, but in the end it is an ancient feudal society, even if they are influenced by Wang Xiujuan more, they can't escape the inferiority of men and women, and it is natural that Ning Changrong became the patriarch.
"They wrote to me before that they wanted to renovate an ancestral hall, and I was too busy to take care of it, but I didn't expect them to come and really tidy it up." Ning Changrong smiled while reading the letter.
"Dad, you have become such a big official, it is normal for them to want to build an ancestral hall, in ancient times, one was prosperous, one was lost, originally it can be said that it was just a fellow villager, but now you are still the patriarch on the family tree, we are the real clansmen, if they do something, you will be implicated, or what we do, they will also be implicated." Ning Qingxi is happy and sorrowful.
Along with the letter, there was a copy of the genealogy, and the real one was enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Wang Xiujuan flipped through the names on this genealogy, recalling their appearance, this small book really brought them closer, as if there was a silk thread invisibly, connecting everyone's fate together.
"Xixi is right, although everyone is in peace, but you still have to remind you often, you should also be cautious when you do things in the court, don't rely on Your Majesty's trust and come out of nowhere."
Speaking of the affairs in the court, Ning Changrong let out a long sigh, Bai Yunliang didn't know what kind of madness he had, and regarded him as an imaginary enemy all day long.
"Knowing Mother, I won't be strong, they want to fight, then let them fight, with my understanding of Your Majesty, the more they fight, the faster they die."
There are those who take refuge in Ning Changrong in the court, those who seek refuge in Bai Yunliang, and those who are neutral.
It's just that Ning Changrong doesn't accept anyone's refuge, whoever comes is upright and upright, and only looks to His Majesty, there are not many people who take refuge in him, and when everyone sees him like this, most of them go to Bai Yunliang.
Bai Yunliang's power is already a force to be reckoned with in the court.
Ning Changrong didn't want to compete with the other party, but the other party seemed to be staring at him, and he insisted on pressing him to be happy.
Ning Changrong usually talks about things, and he doesn't come out easily when he has something, never does things outside the scope of his duties, and doesn't stretch out his hands indiscriminately.
Bai Yunliang also became more and more proud because of this, and felt that he had suppressed Ning Changrong to death.
In the end, the two have been colleagues for many years, and when the two worked together, they cooperated quite tacitly.
Ning Changrong wanted to remind the other party at first, but seeing that Bai Yunliang didn't say anything, he looked like a spring breeze was proud, he made friends widely, and suppressed him vigorously, and the court was only happy when he had to press him hard, so he closed his mouth.
