Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 314

On May 26, the weather was fine.The door of Ling's mansion was opened, and General Zhen Guo, Minister of Hubu, Minister of Rites, and Ling Yuxuan and his wife arrived together.Ling Yulou and his sons were wearing moon-white robes to welcome the guests. Mrs. Ling's third wife, Cui Shi, also wore a moon-white double-breasted skirt and led her two daughters to the front yard to entertain Xiao Wenqing, mother and son.

Today, Ling Yuxuan was ordered to follow his father's last wish, and now he came to pay homage to the ancestors of the Ling family, and begged them to forgive him for his unfilial crimes.Because the Ling family is still in the three-year filial piety period, no celebrations are allowed, and it is definitely not something to be happy about when one's own son succeeds another family.The Ling family doesn't set off firecrackers and doesn't show off.Ling Yulou and Ling Jingquan led Ling Yuxuan and his son into the Ling family ancestral hall for the succession ceremony.The three adults also entered the ancestral hall to watch the ceremony. All the female family members of the Ling family stood outside the ancestral hall, knelt down and got up with the men in the ancestral hall.

Although Ling Jingquan was temporarily unable to be the head of the family because of his young age and the presence of his biological father, as the eldest grandson and the heir named by his grandfather during his lifetime, he was the only person to hold all the sacrificial activities of the family.After offering incense to the ancestors, he began to tell the ancestors the reasons for coming to worship today, and then asked the old servant in charge of the ancestral hall to fetch the family tree, crossed out the name of the fourth house Ling Yuxuan, and indicated that this person was the successor. Foreign surname, from now on the children of this line are not descendants of the Ling family.Such complicated things cannot be written in detail in the family tree. The person in charge of the sacrifice will write a copy of the family tree in the future to let future generations know the reasons.

"Father, my son is not filial, so I won't be able to pay homage to your old man in the future." Ling Yuxuan knelt down in front of Prime Minister Ling and said sadly.After he was born, he recognized his ancestor in the name of the posthumous son of the eldest son of General Mo. In name and law, he has nothing to do with the Ling family. From now on, he can only worship as a nephew or a guest when he comes to worship on the anniversary of his death. as worship to his father.

After kowtowing, Ling Yuxuan got up and said to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, come here and kowtow to grandpa." After saying that, he took Xiaoxiao from the hand of the butler Qi who was holding him, and taught him how to bow down.

"Yeah, yay." Xiaoxiao yelled twice, obediently letting her father play with his body and kneel down and kowtow.

When Xiaoxiao finished kowtowing, Ling Yuxuan picked him up and bowed to Ling Yulou together, "Third brother, I ask you to help Jingquan support all the affairs of the Ling family in the future. I regard myself as a member of the Ling family, and treat you, third brother, as an elder brother. If the third brother has something to do, just tell the younger brother, and the younger brother will go through fire or water." As he spoke, his voice became more and more choked up.

"Fourth brother, filial piety, my father knows in the spirit of heaven, you can go to Mo's house without worry, I will help Jingquan maintain Ling's house well." Ling Yulou nodded, his eyes were red and moist.Although the grandfather of the fourth brother left the glory and wealth to the fourth brother, does the father really need to adopt the children of the Ling family?Yuxuan is in the Ling family, and sooner or later he will be promoted to a first-rank officer.Yuxuan stays in the Ling family, all his glory belongs to the Ling family, and Yuxuan succeeds, no matter how much glory he has, it has nothing to do with the Ling family.Father, it's not worth it...

After exhorting Ling Jingquan to give some words of encouragement, Ling Yuxuan visited the Ling family ancestral hall for the last time, and then resolutely walked out of the ancestral hall with his son Xiaoxiao in his arms.

Mrs. Ling, the prime minister's widow, is now seventy years old. After the death of her husband, she has completely aged and is often in a trance.Ever since she learned that Ling Yuxuan was going to inherit her maternal grandfather's family and carry on the incense line for the extinct Northwest God of War, General Mo, she always thought it was a dream.When Ling Yuxuan walked out of the Ling family ancestral hall with her son in his arms, and behind him were Ling Yulou father and son with regretful expressions, she realized that this was not a dream.
