Chapter 181 The Domineering Ancestors of the Jiang Family
In front of the gate of the Jiang Mansion, the silver-haired old woman held the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in his arms and cried loudly.
At this moment, there is no old lady of the Jiang family, no more the crown prince, and no more King Xin.
Some scenes are just ordinary old grandmothers meeting their lost grandchildren, which are eye-catching.
But those who are interested suddenly realize that this is the relationship between Mrs. Jiang, who is in charge of the Jiang family, and the last and only member of the Jiang family, a super family that has been a super family for hundreds of years, and has reached the top of the Great Zhou Pyramid. The meeting of famous direct descendants.
That’s right! According to the Jiang family's sect rule of establishing direct descendants, Xin Zhuo is the only direct descendant of the Jiang family.
Although Jiang Yugui is also a direct descendant, he is the direct son of the deceased second master of the Jiang family, not the direct eldest son.
In some ways, this scene has changed the Jiang family and even the Great Zhou Dynasty in a subtle way.
The old lady may not have thought clearly for the time being.
Xin Zhuo was even more confused.
It wasn't until half a stick of incense was passed that an old concubine from the palace behind her came to console her with sighs and sighs: "Old lady, please rest my sorrow. The prince has returned, but the guests are still here."
Old lady, this is Only then did he react. He let go of Xin Zhuo and wiped the corners of his eyes. The sadness of his lost grandson had disappeared from his face, and he turned into the serious old lady who came from a hairpin family, had a strong hand, and had been in charge of the Jiang family for more than ten years. Order:
"Ding Buwang, a direct descendant of the Jiang family, shall be entertained by the princesses, daughters-in-law and second grandson Jiang Yugui. The ancestral temple has been cleaned and the sacrifices have been completed, and the old woman will lead Jiang Yuqing, the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, to pay homage to the ancestors." ! The ancestral temple opened an altar to offer incense! ”
“Here! ”
Jiang’s strict family style immediately started to run like a machine, with princesses, ladies, ladies and thousands of servants walking around. Like the wind, first invite the guests into the house, then decorate the courtyard, ring the bells and drums, and prepare the banquet!
The door directly in front leads to the depths of the courtyard. A brand new brown embroidered tiger carpet has been laid out. A large group of male stewards and hundreds of male servants hurried forward.
The old lady grabbed Xin Zhuo's hand: "Grandson, please go with your grandmother to see your ancestors!"
Without explanation, he pulled Xin Zhuo forward without giving him any consideration. Time, or a few polite words.
Step into the gate, walk on the brown embroidered tiger carpet, step over the fire pots, and bypass dozens of pavilions and courtyards and obscure and solemn buildings...
One old and one young , all have tall and straight postures and solemn expressions.
At this moment, there are no ordinary grandparents anymore, but the prestige and hope of the old lady of the Jiang family and her eldest grandson.
We walked three or four miles.
Just when Xin Zhuo was about to be stunned, a majestic and simple hall appeared in front of him.
The palace door is now wide open!
Hundreds of male servants kneel on both sides of the gate.
A white-haired old steward stood in front of the main hall, carefully swung his whip seven times, and said in a loud voice:
"The ancestral altar has been opened! Jiang Yuqing, the eldest grandson of the seventeenth generation of the Jiang family, entered the ancestral temple. , sacrifice to the ancestors, open up the glory of the Jiang family, and enter the majesty of a hundred generations, enter!"
The old lady held Xin Zhuo's hand tightly and walked towards the hall step by step.
Stepping up the eighteen white jade steps, Xin Zhuo subconsciously looked at the door. On the door plaque were two vigorous and strange characters of "Jiang Temple", with half a couplet on both sides:
< br>"According to the order of the Holy Lord, sweep across the eight wastelands, swallowing thousands of miles like a fierce tiger!"
"Practice Xuantian Martial Arts, transcend the ordinary and become a saint, fight fiercely with immortals and martial arts to open the sun and the moon!"
This couplet is a bit strange. It is not at all like the ancestral temple should educate children and grandchildren, be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, or talk about some family rules. Brag.
But it gives people a sense of majesty and respect.
Before he could think it through, he was pulled into the ancestral temple again. Facing the front are layers of curtains embroidered with three-clawed golden dragons, and opposite are a large row of densely packed tablets.
A huge Kowloon incense burner is burning with green smoke.
“Kneel down!”
The old lady pointed to the futon in front of the tablet with a stern voice.
Xin Zhuo didn't have the habit of kneeling, but seeing that the old lady's face was too serious, he was afraid that it wouldn't be possible if he didn't kneel down, so he had no choice but to soften his knees and kneel down.
"Follow your grandmother!" The old lady stood aside, "Jiang Yuqing, the eldest grandson of the seventeenth generation of the Jiang family, has been living abroad for fourteen years. Now he recognizes his ancestors and returns to the clan. From now on, he will strictly abide by his ancestors' legacy, or go out. The general will become the prime minister or conquer all directions for the princes to protect the peace of Zhou Dynasty!
Cultivate supreme martial arts, fight with immortal martial arts, open up the world, the sun and the moon, seek the power of the ancestors in the past, and never fall into the clouds! "
Xin Zhuo was silent for a moment. He felt that his words were too arrogant and arrogant, and might shorten his life, but he still recounted it honestly.
The old lady listened silently. The last word Xin Zhuo said, her face became extremely complicated, and she tremblingly placed three sticks of incense on each tablet.
This was not something she should do as a woman in the world, but now Jiang. The family has withered away, and there is no decent elder left.
After finishing everything, she took a few steps back again, pointed to the top tablet, and said suicidal: "The distant ancestor of the Jiang family, Jiang Taixu, Qingyuan. Sword Master, enter the 22nd realm of Hunyuanxu! ”
"..."
Xin Zhuo hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "What is the Qingyuan Sword Master, the twenty-second level of Hunyuanxu?"
The ninth and eighteenth level of martial arts, There are twenty-two realms? Is it really as I guessed, there are immortals in the world?
The old lady shook her head: "Grandma doesn't know, so just kowtow!"
Xin Zhuoxu kowtowed three times.
The old lady pointed to the second tablet:
"Jiang Yiyuan, the ancestor of the Jiang family who founded the Great Zhou Dynasty, the only loyal Duke of Wu in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the first generation of Qin King, and the Great Zhou Taizu and Mr. Zhuge had their ups and downs. Longshan, known to the world as a king, a division, and a commander, led 600,000 armored men and swept across the world in seven years. The twelve states!
In the land of the eighteen states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, your ancestor conquered twelve states alone and died at the age of ninety-one. His portrait is still respected by the world! Ranked first among the Eighteen Sages of the Founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty!”
This is simply amazing! No wonder the Jiang family has become so prominent! It’s just...the 19th level of martial arts?
Xin Zhuo kowtowed three times out of patient curiosity.
The old lady then pointed to the next tablet and started talking, and then the next one.
Each one of them had some shocking deeds, whether they were prime ministers or princes, but without exception, they were all direct line eldest family members.
He discovered that there were no female ancestors or branch ancestors here!
The old lady kept talking about fourteen people, and when she reached the fifteenth, her eyes suddenly became wet, and she subconsciously walked over to wipe the tablet, with a bit of resentment in her voice:
"Your grandfather Jiang Ce, who is also my grandmother's husband, has been rebellious all his life but has high ambitions and low abilities. He lost his position, and one hundred and twenty members of the Jiang family were killed. Before his death, he helped the late emperor seize the throne of the former Crown Prince Chongyu, thus maintaining the glory of the Jiang family, but the position of King Qin was divided into five. Your father and your four uncles were enfeoffed. This is also the origin of a family of five princes..."
As he spoke, he sighed and pointed to the row of five memorial tablets below: "Your father Jiang Wen, the king of Xiqin County, your cousin Jiang Shi, the king of Sishui County, your cousin Jiang Yun, the king of Beiwei County, and your second uncle Jiang Wang, the king of Nanling County. Qing, your fourth uncle Beihai County King Jiang Buwei!
Tell me about your father. When your grandfather died, he was just fifteen years old and he inherited the title of King of the West Qin County and led the Shenwei Army. Title, experienced thirty-six battles in his life, destroyed the three kingdoms of the Western Regions, and expanded 4,800 miles of territory for the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Xin Zhuo thought for a moment: "Is there a third uncle? No? Judging from the age, I'm afraid he's only forty or fifty years old, why..."
The old lady's face turned very ugly, as if she didn't want him to ask any more questions.
Xin Zhuo had no choice but to stop and looked curiously at the bottom tablet. There was only a solitary name on it: Jiang Wuxie!
I couldn't help but ask: "Who is this person?"
