Splendid Twins
Chapter 199 Family Tree Home
Lu Yuan greeted calmly:
"Uncle, aunt."
"Where... where are you from? No, where have you been? You've been gone for so long..."
Liu Niang asked the question in her heart. After he disappeared for such a long time, the villagers said that he might have had an accident in the mountains...
"Mom, didn't the village chief tell us to go to the ancestral hall? Let's go first and talk about it later, right?"
Si Yao interrupted Liu Niang. Since she was leaving anyway, there was no point in asking her any further questions.
"Oh, okay, then... let's go together."
Si Qing went into the house and changed into a clean plain long gown. He had a clear and handsome face and looked calm.
According to the past, the new champion would be assigned to the Imperial Academy as an editor, but His Majesty seemed to have other plans for him, implying that he should spend more time with his family in the next few days. I'm afraid the next job will not be easy...
Si Yao asked Lu Yuan if he wanted to go, and he shook his head:
"We won't go. Xiao Chen is a little sleepy. I'll take him to rest."
The little emperor heard his uncle calling him in a daze. He opened his eyes with difficulty and wanted to say something. Lu Yuan picked him up and whispered:
"Go to sleep."
Seeing this, Si Yao nodded: "When the guest room is ready, just go in, I'll be back in a while."
When Si Qing and Si Yao arrived at the ancestral hall, the entire village had already arrived. Seeing him coming, the villagers greeted him with awe. The village chief came forward to greet him:
"Come on, let the ancestors know."
Si Qing stepped into the ancestral hall and saw the names of his ancestors shining brightly on the tall tablets. Something flashed through his mind and his eyes turned slightly cold. His father was not the son of Director Si, which meant that he didn't need to offer sacrifices to other people's ancestors!
His heart sank a little, for at this point, he knew that personal happiness was no longer his guiding principle!
In the absence of absolute strength, it is best to conserve your energy and accumulate strength in secret...
The floor of the ancestral hall is paved with bluestone slabs, smooth and flat. On the table are placed some ancient sacrificial items, incense burners, candlesticks, wine vessels, etc. They lie there quietly, exuding a calm and solemn atmosphere.
The smoke rose up and filled the entire ancestral hall.
Si Qing knelt on the cushion, clasped his hands together, raised the incense to his eyebrows, and kowtowed deeply three times.
The villagers watched this scene, especially the village chief, who wished he could glue his eyes to Si Qing. He was eager to know where this new number one scholar would be appointed.
Si Qing inserted the incense into the incense burner, then turned around and looked at everyone:
"Wenhan is where he is today thanks to the care of all the fellow villagers. In the future, I will rise and fall with you all."
Wenhan is his pen name. It was named after the pen that his mentor taught him when he was in high school. It means "literary talent soars and calligraphy is fragrant."
The villagers only heard "one wins, all win" and they all laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. The village chief walked up to them and whispered:
"I wonder... where do you work?"
Si Qing looked over with an expressionless face. For some reason, the village chief felt a chill on his back. He immediately realized that what he said was inappropriate and just smiled awkwardly:
"I don't understand, please don't take it to heart..."
Si Qing's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice:
"Village chief, I have decided to open a new page in the family tree." His voice was firm and clear, with an unquestionable light flashing in his eyes.
"Of course. Your father is not from the Si family. Now that you are in an official position, it is only right that we start from your family." The village chief stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.
However, when Si Qing's next words were spoken, the entire ancestral hall suddenly exploded:
"The homepage starts with Si Yao."
"Okay, of course, you..."
Before the village chief finished speaking, he realized the turn in Si Qing's words. He widened his eyes and confirmed with some disbelief:
"What? Starting with Yao girl?"
Everyone was instantly shocked. Since ancient times, the compilation of family trees has followed strict rules and etiquette. The first page is usually occupied by a male elder in the family who is highly respected and has made outstanding contributions. It is a great honor for a woman to be included in the family tree, not to mention such an unprecedented thing as occupying the first page!
The villagers looked at Si Qing, then at Si Yao, and felt that the world had changed...
This... is totally unheard of!
Someone murmured:
"Even the coffin lid of our ancestor can't hold it down anymore..."
"Hush, this family really got up only after Miss Yao came..."
"Since ancient times, women have been obedient to their fathers at home and to their husbands after marriage. How can they be qualified to occupy the first home..."
"Yao girl is not a simple person..."
The villagers were whispering, but no one dared to speak out. They all looked at the village chief with gloomy eyes.
"This... is not polite..." The village chief spoke first, trying to persuade Si Qing to withdraw his decision.
"Etiquette?"
Si Qing smiled faintly, with a hint of unruly and firmness in his eyes.
"Village head, you also know that my father is not from his family, and you know even more clearly that our family is what it is today thanks to Yaoyao. Without her, there would be no family of ours, and no new number one scholar today. Tell me, should she be on the front page?"
After these words were spoken, the village chief could no longer speak even if he had many objections.
Si Qing was right. Yao girl had indeed made an invaluable contribution. If it weren't for her, not only Si Laoer's family, but the entire Sijia Village would not have been as prosperous as it is today.
"This... has never happened before. A woman occupying the first page of the family tree, if we tell others about it, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of discussion..."
The village chief thought that if this matter were to be made public, he was sure that Yao girl would be condemned by everyone!
Si Qing said calmly, "Si Yao has been very helpful to the entire Sijia Village. You have all benefited from it. As the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. When you gain benefits, don't forget your reputation. What do you think?"
The village chief opened his mouth and said something like this, obviously he was asking for justice for Yao girl. Thinking about it carefully, this girl's return has indeed brought benefits to the village. Not only has the road been repaired, but a school has also been built. This is a real benefit that the village has indeed benefited from...
Looking at the crowd again, their expressions were relaxed and their faces were normal. Several old uncles sitting on the chairs next to them did not say anything. The village chief thought, it is true that old people become cunning. If it had happened in the past, whoever dared to say this would have probably exploded!
Now, Si Yao has indeed made contributions, but the most important one is Si Qing. He is about to rise to prominence and has a bright future. If the village fails to curry favor with him, the losses will be unimaginable...
Si Yao watched this scene in the crowd, with her arms folded across her chest, looking at Si Qing with clear eyes. Their eyes met, and Si Qing nodded slightly with a slight smile on his face. He would do his best to make her live more comfortably!
It is difficult for women to survive in this world, and he does not want her to suffer injustice or constraints. As long as he lives, he will plan more for her, even if... she does not need him.
