On the day when the Gu family offered sacrifices to their ancestors, the whole city of Jinling became sunny and warm.

Although it was already close to the end of the year, the temperature had become much warmer. Countless people were saying that this was the appearance of the heroic spirits of the Gu family, and they all came to watch the fun.

The Gu family's ancestral hall in Qingshui Town, Jinling City, was filled with clan members of all ages.

The previous dynasty existed for more than 170 years, and the present dynasty has only existed for about 30 years, but the Gu family has been established here for more than 400 years, starting from their ancestors, so they can be called a truly famous and prominent family.

Therefore, if we count the main branches and side branches together, there are several thousand people in the tribe.

The branch of Old Marshal Gu is the main line. There has been a family seal passed down until now. It is made of a tiger head made of blood jade, with four small characters "Head of the Gu Family" printed below. It is now enshrined in the Gu Family Ancestral Hall.

Old Madam Gu was wearing the court dress of a royal lady and standing beside the altar with a pearl crown on her head. Wherever she looked, the clansmen bowed their heads in submission.

The protagonists of today are Shang Ji and his son Tai Ge'er. From today onwards, all their titles will be changed to Gu Shaoyu and Gu Yunzhan, to comfort the spirits of the Gu family's ancestors in heaven.

"kneel."

Old Madam Gu let out a long whistle, and Shang Ji, holding his son Gu Yunzhan, knelt respectfully on the mat on the ground.

The father and son, one of them wore black clothes with a Qilin pattern embroidered with gold thread, looking particularly majestic; the other wore a royal blue brocade suit with a pattern of happiness, wealth, longevity and good fortune, looking extremely wealthy.

One was serious, the other was cute, and then Gu Shaoyu spoke piously and rigorously.

"The 92nd generation grandson Gu Shaoyu and the 93rd generation grandson Gu Yunzhan are offering incense to the ancestors of the Gu family, hoping that God will bless the Gu family, and that their descendants will prosper, the family will be prosperous, and talented people will emerge, leaving their names behind."

After saying this, she held the child and respectfully burned three incense sticks, then prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed to pay respect to her ancestors.

He has been on the battlefield for many years and has developed a body of steel. Therefore, if he really gets serious, one can't see the heroic spirit of Marshal Gu in him.

And Gu Yunzhan in his arms looked very much like old Marshal Gu, as if he was his reincarnation, which made many clansmen who already missed old Marshal Gu burst into tears.

Standing opposite Madam Gu was a white-haired old man in his seventies. He was still in good spirits, with long flowing beard on his face, but he did not look like a military commander, but had a temperament as gentle as jade.

This person is the seventh old man of the Gu family who is temporarily serving as the head of the family. He is from the same clan as the old Marshal Gu, but they are cousins ​​from different families. Therefore, when Gu Shaoyu is serious, he has to call him seventh uncle-grandfather.

"Seventh Brother, make the announcement."

"Yes, sister-in-law."

After hearing what Madam Gu said, the Seventh Old Master did not say much. He took down the seal of the head of the Gu family from the center and handed it to Gu Yunzhan.

He now holds toys tightly and never lets go. Since he has never seen a toy as big as Jiayin's before, he is naturally very curious and not timid at all. He takes it happily.

He shouted a few random words.

“Da da da…”

The people present were confused, but the Seventh Old Master was a smart guy and immediately shouted loudly.

"The head of the family said, Da, God bless our Gu family, and it will surely prosper in the future!"

“God bless the Gu family, and may it prosper!”

“God bless the Gu family, and may it prosper!”

All the clansmen crowded inside and outside the ancestral hall, shouting together, some with tears in their eyes, while others had unwillingness in their eyes.

How can a little child be the head of their Gu family?

But it was an imperial decree from His Majesty, and no one dared to say a word, otherwise they would be making an enemy of the royal family and Gu Shaoyu and his son. Therefore, in the face of the overall situation, they could only lower their heads in submission and stop talking.

Gu Shaoyu now has the demeanor of a "flattering minister". Others use the emperor to control the princes, but he can legitimately use his own children to control his clansmen and temporarily become the "underground head of the Gu family".

Given his achievements, no one can say no.

After the ceremony, Gu Shaoyu spoke loudly to everyone.

"The head of the family intends to allocate a thousand acres of paddy fields from the outskirts of the capital and provide 30,000 carts of silver to fill the treasury of the ancestral hall. I hope that the members of the Gu family can dress properly, behave strictly, follow the path of filial piety, and gain a good reputation."

Such a lavish gesture left those clan members who were originally somewhat dissatisfied speechless. After all, the money and paddy fields that filled the ancestral hall's treasury could be used by all the clan members.

If one wants to go to Beijing for an imperial examination, study or practice martial arts, or have a proper funeral, family members can apply to the ancestral hall's treasury. With the head of the family's approval, they can receive the corresponding silver and money. So when everyone heard the news, they all shouted "The head of the family is so kind."

Gu Yunzhan didn’t understand all of this, but he felt that the sound, like the roar of mountains and seas, was particularly pleasant to the ears, so he chirped “da da da…” even more happily.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After paying homage to their ancestors, the tribesmen dispersed.

Only the closest few relatives were left, allowing Gu Shaoyu and Gu Yunzhan to meet one by one.

The father of Marshal Gu was the most glorious head of the Gu family. During the turbulent times of the previous dynasty, he not only protected most of the Gu family's assets, but also brought up his children and grandchildren.

Old Marshal Gu has no biological brothers, only an elder sister and a younger sister. Now the elder sister has passed away, but the third sister is still alive, so Gu Shaoyu has to call her third aunt grandmother.

The other old men sitting there were all cousins ​​of Marshal Gu. They were all quite old, some looked very old, while others looked like veterans still in the stable.

In the side hall next to the ancestral hall, Old Madam Gu sat at the head of the table. As the wife of the previous head of the family, it was proper for her to sit here.

The person who was level with her was Gu Shaoyu, holding Gu Yunzhan in his arms, but the child was a little sleepy now, so he was unusually quiet.

"I'm sorry to have troubled all of you uncles and brothers today. Nine years ago, the master died in battle, and his children and grandchildren died with him. The Gu family suffered a great disaster. If it weren't for the uncles and brothers, I'm afraid there would be no Gu family. So as the wife of the former head of the family, I would like to thank you all."

After saying that, Madam Gu stood up, bowed and respectfully saluted everyone present, and everyone also stood up and returned the salute.

"I dare not, I dare not."

The Seventh Old Master sat in the first seat on the lower right. It was obvious that his status was higher than that of the other brothers, after all, he was the one who temporarily took over the position of the head of the family.

Moreover, he is now in charge of the Gu family's ancestral hall treasury, so naturally he has a lot of say.

"The Gu family has gone through many ups and downs. The fact that it is still standing strong in our hands today is due to the efforts of our ancestors. So Shao Yu, you and the head of the family must continue this glory!"

From today on, Shang Ji is officially changed to Gu Shaoyu, and all future appearances will be based on this name, and he will travel the world like wildfire!
