Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 432

Compiling a family tree is indeed a big event, but is it necessary for women to participate in this era?

Xia Junyan is not conceited enough to think that her influence has covered the entire Xia clan.Before she wore it, she also knew some traditional knowledge about genealogy and people.The clansmen who are far away from their hometown, if they are well-off and wealthy, will also raise funds to build roads and do good deeds in their hometown.Could it be that Uncle Six came here to ask her to go back and pay the money?

Xia Junyan smiled: "I'm a mere little girl, so I just stay at home for such an important matter, how can I enter the ancestral hall?"

"You can't say that." Xia Laoliu said, "Your father is only a daughter of yours. Although women are generally not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, the situation here is a little different, and there will always be accommodation."

"Yes, your father's branch is you alone. If you don't go back, the people in the clan don't know how to remember it. What if the memory is wrong." The Hong family also looked worried.

Xia Junyan thought to herself, the population of Father Xia's branch is really too simple.The genealogy is nothing more than recording personal names, birth dates, and time of death, plus who is the wife and who are the children. In short, it is a census within the family.

Seeing that Xia Junyan didn't speak, Xia Laoliu said again: "The ancestors will be worshiped at the winter solstice, and the genealogy must be repaired before. This year is a major repair. Take advantage of this time to enshrine the tablets of your grandfather and your father in the ancestral hall. It can be regarded as your filial piety to them."

In ancient times, filial piety was the sky, and even the emperor would bow his head if an unfilial title was suppressed.

Xia Junyan doesn't want to associate with these relatives, but she can't completely ignore them at the moment. After all, for a businessman, reputation is also a very important intangible asset.

"Okay. You see when my room is repaired, I will go back to the village immediately."

"Your father is the ninth child. Now the fifth room and our sixth room have been transcribed. I guess it will be done in three or four days."

Xia Junyan immediately asked, "How about I go back to the village in three days?"

"Okay." Liu Laoliu didn't expect things to go so smoothly.That's right, if the word filial piety is suppressed, can she find any tricks? Xia Junyan is capable, can she surpass the ancestor's etiquette?
In order not to startle the snake, Xia Laoliu and the Hong family hid their thoughts deeply, and politely thanked Xia Junyan for leaving the meal, and left the Tu Yi they brought for them to sit for a while before getting up to leave.This made Xia Junyan feel embarrassed, and felt that she was a bit of a villain and jealous of a gentleman's belly.

"Just send it here, you can go to your business." Xia Laoliu waved his hand, indicating that Xia Junyan can go back to the shop.

"There is an ox cart going back to the village at the gate of the town, and it's not far to the left and right. I'll take you there."

As they were talking, a small dark green sedan came into view. Shopkeeper Sun had some typhoid fever recently, and he was a little more careful when going out because of his age.After getting out of the sedan chair, seeing Xia Junyan standing at the door talking, she was not sure whether she should go or not.On the contrary, Xia Laoliu had sharp eyes, and he saw this well-dressed old man with a boy behind him.

"Shopkeeper Sun, you are here." Xia Junyan naturally saw the movement.

Shopkeeper Sun cupped his hands: "You are busy here, I will stand and wait without getting in the way."

Hey, such a decent person actually called "you" to this little girl Xia Junyan. Hong immediately looked back and forth several times. Has her niece really become someone in the town?
Xia Laoliu was more restrained than his own wife. Although he was in doubt, but his face was calm, he said: "Look at you, you are so busy, there is no need to send it off."

Shopkeeper Sun came here anxiously because of the Chamber of Commerce's affairs, Xia Junyan didn't insist anymore, so she called Qian Gui to send Xia Laoliu and her off.
