Chapter 350: On the naming of the clan leader
As one of the protagonists of the gossip news, Zhang Fenyu is now bubbling with joy.
His wife, Shen Jingyi, had been pregnant a few days ago. Just when they were able to detect the fetal heartbeat, they discovered that this baby was actually triplets!
Those are triplets!
This is the first case of triplets in the Zhang family since records began!
He achieved an unprecedented feat, instantly surpassing 99.9 percent of his tribesmen. He was so proud!
He first sent boastful messages to several current leaders of the Zhang family one by one, and then frantically sent red envelopes to all the groups he joined. When Shen Jingyi finished calling her parents and came to find him, Zhang Fenyu finally calmed down a little.
"Dear, I'll take you to my family in a few days."
Zhang Fenyu gently put his arm around Shen Jingyi's waist and spoke softly, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
"Um?"
Shen Jingyi was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Fenyu in surprise, and then suddenly thought of something. One hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen, smiled and nodded slightly, and spoke teasingly.
"Okay, baby, are you finally willing to take your sister to meet your parents?"
Since the two started dating, Zhang Fenyu has never talked about his family situation, let alone his parents.
She had only met Zhang Fenyu's relatives during the few days of her wedding. They seemed like relatives who were forced into the relationship, the so-called family elders.
His abilities and reputation are quite impressive, but it seems like the two of them don't seem very close, and their relationship is quite dull.
"My family's situation is a bit special."
Zhang Fenyu didn't comment on her teasing and picked out some things to talk about with her.
"Our Zhang family is a reclusive clan. You can think of us as the hermit masters in novels. We have a large collection of ancient books and a higher level of education than ordinary people in the outside world. In addition, there are some other family secrets, so they are generally not allowed to be revealed to the public.
When we got married, the family had already approved our marriage certificate, which is equivalent to the family's recognition, and your name will also be recorded in the family tree.
But ordinary people are not allowed to enter the clan land, so I have never taken you back.
However, given our special circumstances, the clan leader should allow me to bring you back to the clan. I heard that the clan will be arranging a grand ceremony to worship the heavens soon. During that time, there will be a process where the clan leader will name the newborn and record the child in the family tree. Our child will be able to catch up with this event, which is an honor."
The clan leader bestows names only during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven or the ceremony of the clan leader's succession to the throne. Normally, the clan elders take the children to have their names entered into the family tree.
The reason why Zhang Moyu arranged the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven this time was that he wanted to put on a show for the world consciousness, telling it that the cubs loved it very much, so it should continue to protect the Zhang family.
Of course, we can't say this openly.
On the surface, this is a ceremony to worship the heavens that represents the return and resurgence of the Zhang family. It can also be regarded as the succession ceremony of half of Zhang Qiling.
After all, Zhang Moyu learned from many sources that Zhang Qiling's succession process was quite sloppy, and it could be said that he was a self-made patriarch.
This action not only embarrassed Zhang Qiling, but also rubbed the face of the Zhang family, a family with a thousand-year-old heritage.
After all, the patriarch is tied to the family, and they share the same fate. Now that we have the conditions, we can pick up the face we once lost and paint it a new coat to make it look good.
"Give a name? Why? It's our child, I want to name the baby!"
Shen Jingyi frowned, looking displeased.
"We have taken it, just report it to the clan leader secretly."
After all, in previous years, the patriarchs of the family during its heyday were so busy with their work that they had no time to think carefully about names for their children. The children either chose their own names when they were old enough to do so, or had names given to them by close elders.
If it is not reported in advance, the names given by the patriarch will mostly be random names.
For example, for those of their "Fen" generation, Zhang Fenyu still remembers the strange names that their patriarch gave to newborns at the succession ceremony.
Names like "Zhang Fenhe" and "Zhang Fenxiang" are still normal, but names like "Zhang Fen Bajiao" and "Zhang Fen Caoguo" are something that children will not be able to say when introducing themselves when they grow up.
After experiencing that grand ceremony, everyone in the Zhang family knew that the patriarch of the "Fen" generation was extremely good at cooking and mixing spices. After all, he could name nearly a hundred spices in one breath, which was enough to show his profound knowledge.
Thinking of what the current clan leader Zhang Qiling is best at, Zhang Fenyu's expression became subtle for a moment.
Well, should he take some time to remind the elders and the clan leader to be more lenient when naming those children?
Time flies and several days have passed.
Before the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Zhang Molan, who had been hanging out outside for a long time, finally came back.
It is worth mentioning that he did not come back alone. He was accompanied by a little boy about ten years old. He was a good seedling he found outside. Seeing that he had good talent, he brought the boy back.
As one of the only two people in the family with the status of elders, Zhang Molan's new apprentice, even though he was a new child to the Zhang family, was successfully brought back to the Zhang family's land.
The main reason is that Zhang Qiling and Zhang Moyu now like to stay in the Qinling clan area. If Zhang Molan wants to show off his little disciple, he has to go to them himself.
"The child you adopted seems to be a well-behaved one."
Zhang Moyu, who was lying in a rocking chair under the grape trellis and basking in the sun, saw the two people coming and slowly sat up, pulling up Zhang Qiling who was sitting in another rocking chair.
He had already received messages from others, so he was not surprised at all when he saw the child following Zhang Molan.
Zhang Qiling was originally drowsy from the warm sunshine, and he closed his eyes to rest until he almost fell asleep. Now he was suddenly woken up with fatigue in his eyes.
Last night at midnight, a fire beetle that a tribe member carefully raised as an ornamental pet flew into the cave where Zhang Ruihe raised spiders for some unknown reason.
The fire beetles, startled by the group of big spiders, performed an act of frightening explosion on the spot. The phosphorescent fire not only ignited large pieces of spider silk, but also burned to death several of Zhang Ruihe's tool spiders. The remaining spiders were also frightened and had endocrine disorders, which caused a serious setback to his textile business.
Zhang Qiling was just about to go to sleep when he was disturbed by them. He came out to direct the fire-fighting, arrange people to rescue the spider, and watch people quickly fish out the big spider that fell into the pond after being burned to death, so as to prevent it from being eaten by the big fish he raised.
Finally, check whether other places have been affected and see where more safety measures are needed.
It was not until dawn that all the matters were settled.
