Although Patriarch Yang didn't know much about what happened back then, he had heard some of it.
Yang Minglin and his wife had a falling out with Yang Tiejiang a long time ago.
The reason why Yang Minglin's family was not removed from the family tree under the name of Old Master Yang at that time was because of Old Madam Yang's face. After all, Yang Minglin was raised by Old Madam Yang and they still had feelings for each other.
Over the years, Old Madam Yang has been secretly taking care of their family and providing them with secret support from time to time, allowing them to live a prosperous life in the old house.
But Yang Tiejiang did make some harsh remarks back then.
Yang Minglin will never be able to set foot in his mansion in this life, otherwise he will break one of his legs if he sees him once.
Over the years, the two families have lived in peace.
But now Yang Minglin and his wife suddenly came and claimed that this was their own business and they wanted to take charge of the ancestor worship.
Patriarch Yang didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing that Patriarch Yang remained silent, Xu Cuirong frowned and said, "Patriarch, Jin Ge'er is a son of our family. My master is his uncle. He has passed the imperial examination. It is only natural for my master to offer sacrifices to our ancestors and comfort them. You wouldn't want a daughter who married out to offer sacrifices to our ancestors, would you?"
At this point, Xu Cuirong couldn't help but raise her voice a few notches. "How can this woman be qualified to offer sacrifices to the ancestors? Clan leader, why don't you ask around? In respectable families, ancestor worship is always performed by the men in the family."
"Some sophisticated and aristocratic families strictly forbid women from entering the ancestral hall. Even if wives like us enter the ancestral hall, we can only worship at the entrance of the inner hall."
"There's no one like you, clan leader. You allow any random person to go to the ancestral hall without any respect. No wonder our ancestors don't bless our descendants. And it's because of this that those scholars look down on us and think we are all vulgar people."
The more Xu Cuirong spoke, the more she blamed Clan Leader Yang.
Patriarch Yang: “……?”
Aunt Yang looked at Xu Cuirong coldly, as if she were a fool.
The Yang family's ancestral hall really doesn't have too many requirements.
Because the ancestors of the Yang family were born in the countryside and were not originally from the capital. They joined the army to make a living because of the disaster and later settled in the suburbs of the capital.
Until now, the Yang family has never produced anyone with a high-ranking official position.
Naturally, there aren't many rules in the family.
Even though the Marquis Yang Tiejiang came later, Yang Tiejiang's personality made him hate rules and regulations even more. When he was returning to his ancestral home, he almost demolished the ancestral hall because an old woman said something unpleasant.
Later, when Old Lady Yang wanted to make things difficult for Qi Yue, the daughter-in-law, by claiming that women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, Yang Tiejiang almost tore his name off the family tree.
He is planning to break away from the Yang family's identity.
Later, when worshipping ancestors, not to mention that women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, the Yang family would invite people to the ancestral hall in a sedan chair carried by eight people, and all worship had to be done at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
It's ridiculous.
If you have the ability, go out and open a clan temple on your own!
"Clan leader, since my second niece-in-law has asked for this, you should not let her enter the ancestral hall when offering sacrifices to the ancestors in the future. Just place a cushion and incense burner for her at the door." Aunt Yang spoke slowly at this time.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Yang nodded and said, "That's fine."
What?
Xu Cuirong was stunned.
When she realized what was happening, her face suddenly darkened: "Chief, that's not what I meant..."
"If that's not what you mean, what do you mean?"
Aunt Yang interrupted her, a slight sneer on her lips: "The way you were full of envy just now really opened my eyes. Since you think they are respectable and sophisticated, then you can worship outside the ancestral hall from now on. Our Yang family is not unreasonable and will not give you this respect."
Xu Cuirong was about to speak.
"besides."
Aunt Yang didn't give her a chance to speak. Her eyes were cold and she said, "You keep calling me a married-out daughter. What? You're not a married-out daughter anymore? Or do you look down on our Yang family's married-out daughters?"
"A daughter who is married off is like water spilled."
Xu Cuirong didn't think she was wrong, and she added more forcefully, "Since I married into the Yang family, I'm a member of the Yang family. This ancestor worship is our Yang family's business. How can we let outsiders organize it? My aunt is already married, and I didn't say anything wrong."
Say it together.
Aunt Yang is just an outsider!
"Nephew, do you also think your wife is right?" Aunt Yang looked at Yang Minglin.
Yang Minglin frowned slightly.
Xu Cuirong nudged him with her elbow and signaled him to speak with her eyes. Yang Minglin finally spoke: "Aunt, my wife is right. Ancestor worship is indeed a man's job. I am still here at home, so I won't bother you with this."
Hearing this, Xu Cuirong raised her chin slightly with confidence, looked at Aunt Yang and said, "Aunt, although you are the aunt of the family, you are just a guest after all. Don't worry too much about this matter. Go back and have a good rest. Don't be here... attracting attention."
Aunt Yang was so angry that she almost laughed.
I really don't understand where this couple got the confidence to say these things?
“It’s really eye-catching.”
At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the door.
Everyone turned around when they heard the sound.
Yang Zhao, wearing a cloak, slowly walked in from the door, followed by maids and old women. It was obvious that they had just returned from outside.
When Yang Minglin and his wife saw Yang Zhao, they subconsciously stiffened their bodies, and the sweet girl they brought with them, who had been silent, also cast her eyes on Yang Zhao.
