Chapter 321: Ancestor Worship

On the day when the Gu family worshiped their ancestors, the entire Jinling City became sunny and warm.

It was obviously approaching the end of the New Year, but it had become a lot warmer. Countless people were saying that this was the appearance of the heroic spirits of the Gu family, and they came to watch the fun.

The Gu family's ancestral hall in Qingshui Town, Jinling City, was filled with members of the clan, large and small.

The previous dynasty has existed for more than 170 years, and the current dynasty has existed for about thirty years. However, counting from the ancestors, the Gu family has been established here for more than 400 years, so it can be called a truly famous family.

Therefore, if the main branches and side branches are added together, there are thousands of clan members.

Marshal Gu's branch is the main branch. It has been passed down to this day and has always had a family seal. It is made of a tiger head made of blood jade, with four small characters "Gu Family Patriarch" printed on it. Now it is enshrined in the Gu family in a dignified manner. In the ancestral hall.

Mrs. Gu was dressed in the royal robes of Madam Gaoming, with a beaded crown on her head and standing beside the altar. Wherever she looked, the clan members bowed their heads in submission.

Today's protagonists are father and son Shang Ji and Tai Geer. After today, all titles will be changed. They will be officially called Gu Shaoyu and Gu Yunzhan to comfort the spirits of the ancestors of the Gu family.

"kneel."

Madam Gu let out a loud roar, and Shang Ji hugged his son Gu Yunzhan and knelt respectfully on the futon on the ground.

The father and son were wearing black clothes embroidered with unicorn patterns with gold threads, making them look particularly majestic. The other was wearing royal blue brocade clothes with patterns of fortune, fortune, longevity and happiness, making them look extremely wealthy.

One was serious, the other was cute, and then he listened to Gu Shaoyu's pious and rigorous words.

"The ninety-second-generation grandson Gu Shaoyu and the ninety-third-generation grandson Gu Yunzhan offer incense to the ancestors of the Gu family. I hope God will bless the Gu family, the descendants will be prosperous, the family will be rich, and talented people will emerge in large numbers, leaving their names and stubs."

After saying this, he hugged the child and respectfully offered three sticks of incense, and then kowtowed to the ground to respect his ancestors.

He has been on the battlefield for many years and has long been accustomed to a body of steel and iron. Therefore, if he is really serious, people will not see the majestic appearance of Marshal Gu back then.

The Gu Yunzhan in his arms looked very much like Marshal Gu, as if he had been reincarnated, which brought tears to the eyes of many clan members who already missed the living Marshal Gu.

Standing opposite Mrs. Gu was a white-haired old man in his seventies. He was quite energetic. He had a long and elegant beard on his face, but he didn't look like a military commander. He looked more like a gentle and moist jade. temperament.

This person is the seventh old man of the Gu family, who is the temporary head of the family. He and Marshal Gu belong to the same clan, but they are cousins ​​across the room. Therefore, when Gu Shaoyu gets serious, he has to call him his seventh uncle.

"Lao Qi, announce it."

"Yes, sister-in-law."

After receiving Mrs. Gu's words, the seventh old man took the seal of the head of the Gu family from the center without saying a word and handed it to Gu Yunzhan's hands.

Now he holds the toy tightly and never lets go. It is as big as a family seal and has never been seen before. Naturally, he is curious and is not timid at all, so he happily takes it.

There were a few more shouts in his mouth.

"Da da da……"

The people present didn't know why, but the seventh old man was a man of spirit and immediately shouted loudly.

"The head of the family said, Da, God bless my Gu family, and it will surely prosper in the future!"

"God bless the Gu family and prosper!"

"God bless the Gu family and prosper!"

All the clan members were crowded inside and outside the ancestral hall, shouting together, some with tears in their eyes, and others with unwillingness.

How can a little child be the head of their family?

But it happened to be the decree given by His Majesty. No one dared to say a word more, otherwise they would be enemies of the royal family and Gu Shaoyu and his son. Therefore, in front of the overall situation, they could only bow their heads in submission and stop talking. .

Gu Shaoyu now has the attitude of a "sycophant". Others use the emperor to control the princes, but he can legitimately use his own children to control the clan, and temporarily become the "underground head" of the Gu family.

But no one can say a word about his achievements.

After the ceremony was completed, Gu Shaoyu said loudly to everyone.

"The head of the family wants to divide a thousand acres of paddy fields from the suburbs of Beijing and provide 30,000 cars of silver to fill the treasury of the ancestral hall. I hope that the people of the Gu family can dress up, behave strictly, follow filial piety, and gain a reputation."

Such a generous move left the tribesmen who were still a little unconvinced speechless. After all, the money and paddy fields that filled the treasury of the ancestral hall were available to the entire clan.

If you want to take a scientific examination in Beijing, study and practice martial arts, or have a family member buried, you can apply to the ancestral hall treasury. If you get the approval of the family head, you can receive the corresponding money. So when everyone heard the news, they shouted " The owner of the house is compassionate."

Gu Yunzhan didn't understand this, he just felt that the sound of the roaring mountains and the tsunami sounded particularly pleasant, so he said "ta da da..." even more happily.

After worshiping their ancestors, the clan members dispersed.

Only the closest ones were left for Gu Shaoyu and Gu Yunzhan to meet one by one.

The father of Marshal Gu was the most glorious head of the Gu family. During the troubled times of the previous dynasty, he not only protected most of the Gu family's property, but also trained his children and grandchildren to become talents.

Marshal Gu has no direct brothers, only one sister and one sister. Now that the eldest sister has passed away, the third sister is still there. Therefore, Gu Shaoyu wants to call the third aunt grandmother.

The other elderly people sitting there are all cousins ​​of Marshal Gu. They are all quite old. Some of them look old and old, and some of them look like old men.

In the side hall next to the ancestral hall, Mrs. Gu sat at the head of the table. As the wife of the former head of the family, it was her due to sit here.

On the same level with her was Gu Shaoyu, who was holding Gu Yunzhan in his arms, but the child was a little sleepy now, so he was particularly quiet.

"Today, all the uncles and brothers have been tired. Nine years ago, the master died in the war, and the children and grandchildren of the family also died with him. The Gu family suffered a great disaster. If it weren't for the uncles and brothers, I'm afraid there would be no Gu family. So, as the wife of the former head of the family, I would like to thank you all here."

After saying that, Mrs. Gu stood up, bowed, and respectfully saluted everyone present, and everyone stood up and returned the salute.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The seventh old man sat in the first seat at the bottom right. It can be seen that his status is higher than that of the other brothers. After all, he was the one who temporarily took over the position of the head of the family.

And now he is in charge of the Gu family's ancestral hall, so he naturally has a lot of say.

"The Gu family has gone through many ups and downs, and the fact that it is still standing in our hands is due to the efforts of every generation of ancestors, so Shaoyu, you and the head of the family must continue this glory!"

From today on, Shang Ji will officially change to Gu Shaoyu, and all future appearances will be based on this name, and travel the world!
