At 8:33 in the morning, Mr. Fu asked a master to calculate the auspicious time for ancestor worship.

The people who were standing quietly waiting outside the ancestral hall entered one by one.

When you enter the ancestral hall, there are many spirit tablets on the left, and fruits and cakes are placed in front of the tablets.

Everyone was dressed simply and had solemn and dignified expressions. Children under the age of seven were not allowed to enter.

People burn incense in order of age, from oldest to youngest, first men then women.

Three incense sticks, use your left hand to offer incense, inserting the incense from right to left to show respect for the ancestors.

After offering incense, Mr. Fu lit two red candles in front of the tablet, and then knelt down with his children and grandchildren behind him and kowtowed, with his right leg touching the ground first, and kowtowed three times in a row, which was also a sign of respect for the ancestors.

Then he took out the family tree, and Mr. Fu personally wrote "Daughter Fu Ziyan" under Fu Qiyuan's name on the family tree.

Then everyone followed the old man and took three steps back before turning around and leaving the ancestral hall.

At this point, the ancestor worship ceremony ends.

There was a family dinner at noon, so the children and grandchildren from the second and third branches stayed in the old house.

Since the family split five years ago, the second and third concubines have moved in with their son. Now when they come to the old house, they are still considerate to the old man.

The purpose is naturally the stock assets under the old man's name. The part he kept when the family was divided has expanded a lot in the past five years.

"Master, please try the tea I made for you to moisten your mouth. Although I haven't made tea for you for a long time, I practice my skills often, so I should be familiar with it." Although the second concubine is sixty years old, as a former beauty, she has lived a life of luxury for many years and still retains her charm.

The third concubine sat beside him, massaging Fu Mingzhang's hands and feet as he played chess alone. Fu Mingzhang had praised her massage skills many years ago.

Fu Mingzhang, who had long been accustomed to the quiet life of solitude, felt a little uncomfortable when he first accepted the thoughtfulness, attentiveness and gentleness of the second and third concubines.

After sending away the two concubines, Fu Mingzhang asked the housekeeper to call Fu Qiyuan to come and play chess with him.

Fu Qiyuan was naturally happy to come.

Fu Mingzhang glanced at the pinky ring on Fu Qiyuan's little finger, sighed inwardly, and didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked him, "Titi, have you planned your future studies?"

Since the son doesn't want to get married, he has to raise his granddaughter well, to cultivate both the father-daughter relationship and her various abilities.

Fu Qiyuan answered fluently, "I've seen several schools. The Royal Academy Primary School, St. Stephen's Primary School, and St. Paul's Primary School are all pretty good. I plan to let Titi go there in person to inspect them and choose one. She can go straight to secondary school and study business or other subjects abroad for university. If Titi wants to stay in Hong Kong, that's fine too."

This was just his initial plan. He would make adjustments based on Titi's own interests and hobbies, and try to plan the best path for her.

Fu Mingzhang didn't ask in detail. Seeing that his son was indeed ready to raise a child, he started thinking about Titi's back-to-school gift. It seemed that he had saved several very good sets of four treasures of the study in the past.

On the other side, Fu Ziyan was caught in a choice.

Her third and fifth uncles all had cousins ​​of similar age, and a group of them came to play with her. She didn't want to refuse, but deep down she was a little afraid of group activities with a group of strangers.

The little cousin from her fourth uncle's family gave her a very good first impression. When he came to visit Fu Ziyan at the old house, it seemed difficult to refuse him.

She is actually quite interested in the old house.

Fu Ziyan thought about it and politely declined the group of sisters. In terms of first come first served, she naturally had to accompany her little cousin first.

The reason is justified!

She actually didn't know her cousin very well, but it would be better to play with one stranger first as a transition than to play with a bunch of strangers.

It has nothing to do with gender, it's purely social phobia.

The old house had three buildings in total. The main building was where they lived. It was magnificent and spacious. It had four floors. Grandpa lived on the second floor, and Fu Ziyan also lived on the second floor with her father. The third floor was where the children and grandchildren of the second wife lived, and the fourth floor was where the children and grandchildren of the third wife lived.

On both sides of the main building are the servants' building and the guest building, which are connected by a long corridor that passes through the garden between the main and guest buildings.

It was autumn, and there were several red maple trees here. Occasionally, red leaves fell onto the stone road, and even two leaves fell onto the stone table and bench farther away, which was very beautiful.

All the flowers have fallen, leaving only the chrysanthemums in full bloom. Their golden stamens connect with the sunlight, forming a golden bridge. The autumn breeze blows, and the chrysanthemums sway in the breeze, their fragrance delicate and delicate.

Fu Ziyi is a little gentleman. He would take the initiative to share his travel experiences. Facing Fu Ziyan's expectant and shining eyes, he remained gentle and polite instead of being arrogant.

But in fact, Fu Ziyi was happy in his heart, and his emotions were faintly visible in his eyes.

He quite likes this sister!

Fu Ziyan complained to him about the difficulty of the homework assigned by the teacher. He did not respond, but praised Fu Ziyan for being so amazing, "You can even complete the homework that you think is very difficult. You are really amazing."

Listening to Fu Ziyi's well-reasoned praise of her, Fu Ziyan, although she had the soul of a twenty-year-old, still couldn't help but show joy and pride on her face.

Then he shared with Fu Ziyan some interesting stories about his school life, such as flea markets, football games, etc., in a humorous way.

After hearing this, she thought that "schools in Hong Kong seem quite interesting" and couldn't wait to enroll.

As soon as she realized what she was thinking, Fu Ziyan quickly stopped it.

She has been in school for so many years, and she knows too well that no matter how many school activities there are, it is still school.

Don’t be impulsive, impulse is the devil!

Fu Ziyan recalled carefully and confirmed that this little cousin was really ten years old.

She thought that the rich young master was really amazing. She was a fairy with a twenty-year-old soul, but she was fooled by a ten-year-old child and almost wanted to go to school.

As expected, rebirth does not make one smarter, but she remembered that she had taken intelligence pills. Wouldn’t this make her smarter?

Fu Ziyan had selectively forgotten that she was now learning languages ​​at an incredibly fast pace. After just a few days of oral practice, she had gone from haltingly speaking to speaking fluently. Her English teacher predicted that she would be able to communicate fluently in a few days.

Just at this time, the time was approaching eleven o'clock, and the maid came to remind Fu Ziyan that the family dinner would begin in a quarter of an hour.

Fu Ziyan quickly made an excuse to change clothes and said goodbye to Fu Ziyi.

She wants to be quiet.

When Fu Ziyan changed into a ladylike little dress, there was a knock on the door, inviting her to come downstairs for dinner.
