This is also a necessary way for big families to maintain their strength.
Therefore, the Ye family not only holds an ancestor worship ceremony every twelve years, but also re-edits the entire Ye family's genealogy during the ancestor worship ceremony.
Between this twelve years and the previous twelve years, each family will have new children born, and the older generation will die, and at the same time, young adults will marry wives.
Therefore, every twelve years, countless branches of the Ye family have to report the population changes of their family in the past twelve years to the suzerain family.
At that time, the suzerain family will select a respectable old man to personally renew the genealogy, and write the names, deeds, etc. of these people in it 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, who married the daughter of the Ye family, or the Ye family The daughter married to someone's son so-and-so.
Every revision of the family tree is also very grand.
The female copy of the genealogy is stored in a safe with constant temperature and humidity, and is invited out by the descendants of the Ye family every time the ancestors are worshipped.
Please come out, and after worshiping, you must immediately invite the mother back again respectfully.
Then, renew the new family tree.
After the renewal of the new genealogy, the new genealogy should also be solemnly invited back, and kept together with the countless previous mothers.
All Ye family members regard the genealogy as a sacred object of the family, sacred and inviolable.
And the suzerain 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 paying homage to the genealogy, it will also have a natural sense of belonging to the suzerain family.
This is like the ancient emperors and ministers, through cumbersome etiquette, rituals and strict rules and inheritance, to strengthen the ministers' minds, the loyalty to the emperor.
This is also a major reliance for the suzerain family to make the collateral families bow their heads.
However, Ye Chen has no impression of the Ye family's ancestor worship ceremony.
The last ancestor worship ceremony was twelve years ago, when he was still in Jinling Orphanage;
The last ancestor worship ceremony was twenty-four years ago. At that time, he was too young to have any memory of this incident at all.
However, although he can no longer find the memory of the ancestor worship ceremony twenty-four years ago, he is still very clear about the Ye family's ancestor worship ceremony. The grandest worship ceremony for parents.
Therefore, Ye Chen couldn't help but look forward to it.
He wasn't looking forward to worshiping the ancestors of the Ye family, he was just looking forward to worshiping his parents in a legitimate, dignified, and grand manner.
The last time he followed Gu Yanzhong to pay homage to his parents, and he had to pretend to be Gu Yanzhong's driver, so he couldn't walk up to his parents' grave to kowtow and kneel down in front of his parents' grave with his real identity, Ye Chen. This has always been a regret in his heart.
So, he said to Gu Yanzhong: "Uncle Gu, please tell my grandfather that I will go to the ancestor worship ceremony on Qingming Festival!"
Gu Yanzhong originally thought that Ye Chen would not agree, but he did not expect that he agreed so readily, so he immediately said, "If your grandfather knows that you are willing to go back to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony, he will be very happy!"
Ye Chen smiled, and what he was thinking in his heart was: "Whether he will be happy should not depend on whether I will go to the ancestor worship ceremony, but whether I will follow his arrangement and become the Ye family's foreign marriage partner." tool."
However, he did not tell Gu Yanzhong these words.
At this time, Gu Qiuyi said again: "By the way, brother Yechen, my concert time in Jinling has been set!"
Ye Chen was very surprised and asked: "A concert? In Jinling?"
Gu Qiuyi nodded and said with a smile: "Originally, the next stop of my concert tour is Jinling, but the specific time has not been determined yet."
Only then did Ye Chen remember that when he was going to take his wife to dinner with Gu Qiuyi, his wife told him excitedly that Gu Qiuyi was going to hold a concert in Jinling soon, but he didn't expect this matter to be on the agenda now. JrNovels.com
