Today is the day for the Song family to worship. Because it is a happy event, I have to wear red. Zilan specially wore a newly made skirt, with bright red color, large sleeves, and cloud brocade embroidered lotus cloud patterns. The pattern is not complicated but it looks particularly elegant and elegant. The style of the pleated skirt is dressed in the Dongzhu jewelry that my father bought for her, and it looks dignified and gentle.

When he came to the main house to pay his respects, he went to the old house with his mother. Yang nodded with satisfaction.

Yang clued his daughter's clothes and smiled with satisfaction, "My daughter is so beautiful. When you grow up, you are an idea-friendly girl. My mother doesn't ask for anything else, but just asks you brothers and sisters for peace and happiness. Whenever you have to take care of yourself and live a happy life, my mother will feel at ease.

You have worked so hard these years, and your father and I have seen it all in my eyes and remember it in my heart. You are a child who values ​​friendship. I am proud of you and worry about you. People who value friendship are easily hurt. I will only say one thing: whenever you think about yourself first, you will be safe and happy, and your parents will feel at ease."

Zilan felt warm in her heart and leaned on her mother, "Well, I remember, mom, I will be strong and brave, and try to live a good life. Don't worry about me, I'm not a weak girl."

"Okay, today is your father's day. Let's go early, don't be too late."

"good."

Yang also specially dressed up to welcome her husband to serve as the head of the Song family.

When the group arrived at the old house, Song Zhengtian specially chose Mu Xiu to prepare for the sacrifice early. This was a big deal for him, no less than the joy of being named on the Golden List.

As soon as the hour arrived, the second and third grandfathers presided over the ancestral hall. The male and females were on the left, the right, the left was the right, and the females were arranged in the order of the eldest and the young, and Zilan was in the third row.

The second row is the oldest old lady and others, the second row is the mother and aunt, the third row is the legitimate girl who is also in the order of the old and young, and the fourth row is the younger children.

The Song family did not allow concubines, so there were only legitimate children and other branches, and no children born from the illegitimate children.

Everyone wears them very grandly today and attaches great importance to today's clan meeting.

The second grandfather shouted loudly, "Kowtow."

Everyone knelt on the ground, bowing to their ancestors and the tribe members who sacrificed their lives for the Song family to show respect.

"Two kowtows."

Everyone bowed again.

"Three kowtows."

Everyone continued to bow.

The second grandfather, the third grandfather and the two old ladies stepped forward to burn incense to their ancestors.

After kowtowing, the second grandfather turned around and faced all the tribe members. "Today's sacrifices are mainly two things to explain to the ancestors and tribe members.

The first thing is that my third brother and I will resign from the positions of clan leader and clan elder and retire from the scenes. We have been old for many years and are unable to do so."

Everyone knelt down again, "We thank the clan leader for his hard work for many years."

This is an expression of gratitude. They have devoted most of their lives to the clan, making their lives prosper and cultivating their children and grandchildren to make progress. More than 80% of them have fame and fortune. This is a great good.

The second grandfather glanced at the third brother, and they looked at each other and smiled. The second grandfather raised his hand and asked everyone to get up and continued.

"In recent years, my third brother and I have done some useful things for the clan and firmly completed several major tasks assigned by our elder brother. Thanks to the concerted efforts of the clan members, the Song family got rid of poverty in the first step and also had a place in the court.

For the Song family, we strongly advocate reform and push the Song family into new changes, hoping to become a true prominent family and develop in the long run. My brothers thank you for your trust and support."

The second and third grandfathers bowed to all the tribe members to express their gratitude for the unprecedented unity of the Song family, and their indomitable and brave fearless heart in the face of difficulties.

Tears shone in the eyes of the tribe, especially those who were older, experienced it. The court blows that Song Zhengtian encountered when his father died. He was the best eldest son of the Song family. He had a bright future and had recognized excellence in vision, knowledge and talents. Unexpectedly, he died young and had a huge blow to the Song family.

If you cannot fatally uproot yourself in one blow, you can only be low-key and endure. The Song family experienced many difficulties and patience in the second grandfather's generation, and the tribe members were very united, and their teachings to their children and grandchildren were even more severe, and they spared no effort to pass on the qualities of unity and perseverance.

The second grandfather took a breath, "I want to pass the position of the patriarch to Zhengtian. The patriarch's elders include the fourth, fifth and seventh and eighth and eighth. I hope everyone can continue to support them, unite the top and the bottom, so that the Song family can go further and better, and live up to everything the ancestors sacrificed for us."

"Yes, I will follow the teachings of the patriarch, and I dare not forget them."

The tribe members answered loudly.

"I am worthy of my elder brother's instructions and have the attitude to go underground to kowtow to the ancestors and ancestors."

The second grandfather covered his face and sighed with emotion, and tears were winding down his eyes.

Even the third grandfather was very heartbroken when he thought of his elder brother. The three brothers were brothers. The elder brother took care of them the most since he was a child. Even his studies were taught step by step. The blow brought to them by the elder brother's sudden death was devastating.

Whenever I think of the past, I still feel heartbroken, and my emotions fluctuate for a moment, and tears appear in my eyes.

Song Zhengtian and Lao Si quickly stepped forward to support the two old men, "Second uncle and third uncle, we all see how hard you have worked in the clan over the years. We are still looking forward to your younger generations who can help us and guide us for a while."

"Okay, you are all good kids. What I want to talk about below is everyone's credit.

The first thing to mention is Lan'er. Over the years, she has contributed a lot of strength to the clan. Whether it is the reform plan or the money making, she does her best for the clan. Now she has also decided on the Cui family as a reward. I think the clan gives her a few shops as a dowry, which is not an exaggeration."

"This is what we have no objection, just make the decision."

Several uncles and uncles expressed their opinions and agreed happily that Zilan made money for the clan and tripled the industry, which was more than the expanded industries in the past decade. These shops were nothing at all.

"Well, the third brother and I each fill two shops and one farm. Her Western shop gave the prince a new business road. After the business road is established, we will give 10% of the members of the Song clan. How to share these benefits will be discussed later.

Now pay a visit to the new patriarch.”

After roughly explaining what to say, the second and third grandpas turned around and retreated to their seats, facing Song Zhengtian.

The tribe members lined up in an orderly manner and formally bowed to Song Zhengtian, "Say goodbye to the clan leader."

This is the formal recognition of Song Zhengtian as the new patriarch of the Song family.

Song Zhengtian looked at the clan members, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He bowed his fists and said, "Thank you, everyone, I will do my best to do my best for the clan."

After the ceremony was completed, the rest was to announce to all relatives and friends and report to the yamen. If you have any questions in the future, you need to ask the Song family and find the patriarch first. This is respect for the great clan and the handover of rights.

The tribe members entered the hall one by one, sat down and prepared to hold a tribe meeting.

The female family members listened to the audience. Today is different from the past. Everyone can talk about the arrangements of affairs in the clan.

The second grandfather asked someone to take out a few boxes, which contained the accounts and genealogy of the family industry, as well as some important secret recipes for long-term development of industries. These patriarchs of all generations were to hand over.

Once an irreversible danger occurs, you must take it and money to escape with the descendants of the clan, hoping to make a comeback in the future.
