Chapter 27 Dialogue between grandparents and grandchildren
As the head of the Nie family, the old man's authority in the family is unquestionable. The three brothers followed him out.
In the ranking, Nie Jialiang walked at the front, but Nie Zhenbang deliberately fell behind. Although he was at home, Nie Zhenbang paid great attention to such details. Although it was an ordinary walk, there was something hidden in it.
There are a lot of things.
In Chinese official circles, seats and rankings are very particular. According to traditional customs, the person in the middle is respected. After that, the person on the left is respected at the same distance.
Of course, throughout ancient China, the situation was different throughout the dynasties. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the right side was respected. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the left side was respected until the Tang Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. Up to now, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the left side has also continued to be respected.
The tradition of respecting the side. When walking, it is generally most appropriate to walk half a body slowly.
The old man had just sat on the sofa, but this girl Nie Ziyu was tired of being by his side. As the only granddaughter of the Nie family, Nie Ziyu was a very special existence in the Nie family. She was the apple of the eye and the princess of the family.
Moreover, the old man had no requirements for Nie Ziyu at all. On the contrary, he was very strict with the Liang brothers of the Nie family.
"Grandpa. Happy New Year."
Following Nie Jialiang and Nie Jiamin, Nie Zhenbang also shouted.
Mr. Nie's gaze started from Nie Jialiang and glanced over in sequence. Finally, it stopped at Nie Zhenbang. Looking at this grandson who appeared out of thin air, Mr. Nie's face was very serious, and there was no change in his expression. For a moment,
During this time, the atmosphere at home seemed a little solemn.
Next to me, the old lady Huang Qiumei saw this situation and immediately stood up: "Old man, what are you doing? Come on, I'm waiting for you. The ancestor worship items are all ready. Start quickly. Otherwise, New Year's Eve will be over.
"
Regarding Nie Zhenbang, the old lady's idea is very simple. No matter what, no matter who gives birth to him, it will always be her grandson. As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son; the common people love the youngest. The old lady does not have such a consciousness. If it weren't for the old lady
Doting on him, Nie Guowei would not have done such ridiculous things back then. He loved the house and his wife. As the son of the youngest son, he was also the youngest grandson in the third generation. The old lady was really good to Nie Zhenbang.
In the central hall of the living room, a square, horseshoe and Eight Immortals table has been placed. In front, there are tablets of the Nie family's ancestors. Incense candles are lit, and various tributes are placed.
The old man stood in front of the table. He also knelt down respectfully. After three prostrations, he stood up and walked to the edge, watching pairs of children and grandchildren worshiping their ancestors.
After Ye Shuxian finished kowtowing, Nie Zhenbang and Nie Ziyu were the only ones left. Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.
"Zhenbang, pay your respects well. This is your first New Year celebration in the Nie family. Be more respectful." The old man suddenly said next to him.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Aunt Huang Yuerong was a little surprised. Her eyes when looking at Nie Zhenbang also changed a little. In the past, Huang Yuerong didn't take Nie Zhenbang seriously at all. Even, deep down in her heart, Huang Yuerong
I don’t think Nie Zhenbang is a Nie family member at all. However, when the old man said this today, the meaning is very obvious. Because the old man admitted that Nie Zhenbang is a descendant of the Nie family.
Don't underestimate this change. Although Nie Zhenbang also had a ceremony when he came back. However, in his previous life, Nie Zhenbang had never participated in ancestor worship at home. But this time, the old man asked Nie Zhenbang to worship his ancestors.
Next to him, Nie Jialiang's expression was also very complicated. From his cheap brother, Nie Jialiang got a lot of benefits. He was able to become the 21-year-old deputy chief. It can be said that Nie Zhenbang deserves the most credit. However, in the big family,
There are also struggles. Each generation can only have one core. All the resources and manpower of the family can only be based on the core.
As the saying goes, there is no circle without rules. If there is no core. You do yours and I do mine. If the political views are different, what should we do? Fall apart? That is just self-destruction. If so, the Nie family will not survive for three years.
, will be replaced by other families in the capital. This is the reality. Now the second generation of the Nie family, Nie Guodong is obviously slightly better. Nie Jialiang naturally does not want to lose his position as the third generation heir.
On the contrary, Ye Shuxian's expression was the most complicated at this moment. This was her nominal son. Among the Jingcheng family, Nie Guowei was not the only one who brought children back from outside. However, those children were all brought back when they were young. But Nie Zhenbang
He came back as an adult. This is the difference. This means that he is destined to spend more energy and time and be sincere to win Nie Zhenbang's recognition.
Both sides suffer? Make a big fuss? If it were before the old man recognized Nie Zhenbang, it might have been possible. Now that the old man has recognized it, it would be stupid to make trouble again. Thinking of this, Ye Shuxian's attitude also changed subtly.
The changes of several people were clearly seen in Nie Zhenbang's eyes. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang was also excited. Worshiping ancestors was a fact that he had never experienced before. Now it seems that all his actions have made obvious achievements.
The effect has been achieved. In any case, he has changed a lot. What makes Nie Zhenbang even more happy is that from now on, his actions will receive more support. In this way, the plan to change the fate of the Nie family will be more certain.
big.
Immediately, Nie Zhenbang stepped forward with a respectful expression. Like Nie Jialiang and Nie Jiamin, he lit three sticks of incense. After kowtowing three times, he put the incense in the incense burner with a solemn expression.
After Nie Ziyu finished worshiping his ancestors, the old man looked around at his son and several grandchildren, then looked at Nie Zhenbang and said, "Zhenbang, come with me to the study."
After saying that, regardless of the surprised expressions of others, the old man walked towards his study.
Nie Zhenbang had lived in the old man's study for nearly ten years in his two lifetimes, but he had never been qualified to enter.
The whole study looks very simple. There is a row of bookcases made of pineapple flowers. Looking at this, Nie Zhenbang feels like he is wasting his resources. You must know that pineapple flowers are stable and not easily deformed. In terms of value, they are second only to red sandalwood.
Top-grade wood such as wood is generally used to make some special-shaped objects. For example, bookcases are furniture that is stable and not easily deformed. Generally, mahogany and jujube wood are used, which are very good. But here, the old man uses pineapple wood.
Made bookcase.
The huge desk is made of a whole piece of mahogany. For such a large area, it must be at least two hundred years old mahogany. This is another valuable object.
"Don't look at it, these are just foreign objects. They are all the property of the country. I am just one of the users in this long history. If you live up to your expectations, maybe the Nie family still has the qualifications to sit here.
." The old man's words were very plain. However, his tone revealed loneliness.
The inferiority of the second and third generations of the Nie family. This is an indisputable fact and undeniable. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang can somewhat understand his grandfather's choice back then.
When his descendants failed to live up to expectations, Mr. Nie chose a risky path. The conservatives were not strong. As the second-in-command of the Military Commission, Mr. Nie's support was particularly important. On the contrary, the reformists because of Comrade Nanxun. The role of the Nie family may be
It's not that obvious.
It's a pity that things that go against history and public opinion cannot defeat justice. In the end, the Nie family fell into disgrace. This was inevitable.
"Grandpa, I will work hard." Nie Zhenbang nodded seriously.
At this moment, Mr. Nie sat down, looked up at Nie Zhenbang, and said seriously: "Zhenbang, tell me. Where are you going to take the Nie family?"
