The positions that Yue Yunjie rearranged for several people are almost at the front of the entire hall. And those who are qualified to stand here during every ancestor sacrifice are basically the core members of the family.
Among them, Yue Yu was specially brought out alone and squeezed into the group of the third-generation men of the eldest family. His position was only under Yue Yizhen, the direct grandson of the eldest family, and Yue Lin was on his right hand.
However, Yue Yu himself was mostly disdainful of this kind of preferential treatment. Apart from being good-looking, staying in this position has no real benefits at all.
Thinking about it, if it hadn't been for the battle the day before yesterday, I'm afraid Yue Yunjie wouldn't have cared about where their mother and son were staying. This world is very strange. On the one hand, it attaches great importance to etiquette and law to maintain the rule of a small group of people. On the other hand, force,
They also attach equal importance to it. Specifically for their family, when they do not show value, the members of the Changfang will try their best to forget you. But to a certain extent, they maintain the overall dignity of the Changfang and prevent you from being
Let others bully you, and then wait for your silent and natural death.
——Of course, this refers to the past. Ever since Yue Yunjie placed him under Yue Yizhen, Yue Yu has understood that his family has been accepted again and is regarded as the core member of the family. But as expected,
, at this moment, countless needle-like glances came from behind him.
"——Second-level high-level ratchet tiger. It's a shame that your family can even afford a sacrifice of this level!"
As soon as they met, Yue Lin's words were full of anger. "After all, your family has eight martial arts masters. It's not difficult to hunt down a third-level monster! Even if it doesn't work, you can always buy it in the market -
—”
Yue Yu felt helpless, thinking about our family's difficulties, how can you, a rich young man, understand? The past few months of selling goods have almost used up all the funds in Yue Zhang's hands. Even those few
The martial artist was optimistic about their family's future, so he stayed. In fact, the salary arrears were already as high as two months.
Mrs. Yue Zhang rarely cares about the issues of face and vanity. Everything comes first. She bought a carriage because she thought the horses could be used to carry goods in the future, and this was the limit of what she could do.
It sounds like I felt a little guilty this time, but it wouldn't be a problem if Yue Lin kept chattering in his ears like this. His eyes changed, and Yue Yu turned his head with a smile.
"By the way! Brother Nineteen, was it okay to go back that night? To be honest, I felt a little bit sorry at the time, but I had no other choice -"
Yue Lin's complexion suddenly turned purple. After a long time, he spat out a few words through his teeth. "Sooner or later, I will take back the humiliation of yesterday from you!"
Yue Yu smiled and said nothing, feeling a little fond of his 'brother' in his heart. Just like his father, all Yue Lin's joys and anger were displayed on his face, without so much fuss.
"Okay, you two! The ceremony has begun, and you can't stop talking!"
The voice came from Yue Yu's left hand. He was a young man who was nearly thirty years old. He had a gentle and elegant image, but also a strange and electric light, which made people unconsciously feel close to him and awe at his majesty.
Yue Yu still has some respect for this eldest brother. Before him, Yue Yizhen could also be said to be the most talented person of the eldest brother's generation. A fifth-level martial artist under the age of 28, no one in Beimahara could
Five fingers.
——Of course, what makes people respect him is not his strength, but his demeanor, wisdom, and age. Even if his true age is included, this person is still two years older than him. And if he was born in the previous life,
In such an information explosion environment, Yue Yu probably asked himself that he was far inferior to him.
Immediately, he calmed down and focused his attention on the front. To put it bluntly, their offerings were really shabby. However, Yue Yu's attention was quickly attracted by the tablet in the center of the front.
——On the huge wooden sign, there are five large gilded characters "Master of Heaven and Earth" engraved on it.
Yue Yu thought he had seen it wrong at first, but when he blinked and looked carefully again, it was still the same five words, not the 'Heaven and Earth Lord, Personal Master' he was familiar with in his previous life.
The first two words are easy to understand. They represent God and the land below. The last three words are a bit more difficult to think about. Kissing is above the king. In other words, even if you are the king, you are not as important as your elders and clansmen.
.This world is not one where kingship is supreme.
What's strange about Yue Yu is that the word "teacher" means "sage" and "teacher" in his time. So in other words, is the importance of the inheritance of "teacher" far higher than that of relatives? Who decided this?
Weird rules?
After being curious for a while, Yue Yu didn't care. As Yue Yunjie finished reading the memorial text, he finally entered the final process. The important figures in the front were all offering incense alone. But in the back, they were all plucked out.
Pull up hundreds and thousands of them and come forward.
——The importance of position is shown here. This ranking is not only related to the status of these people within the clan, but also represents the importance of the clan. And the people below can also follow this order of offering incense.
See clearly the situation at the top of the clan. In this way, if some people want to be in power, they will have no choice but to fight.
Yue Yu didn't bother to pay attention to this, but when he saw Yue Zhang's slightly gloomy face when he was offering incense, he felt a little unhappy. He could probably guess the reason for this, and I'm afraid it was because of Yue Zhang's
His position was also just under the eldest wife. Although this was arranged by Yue Yunjie himself, others may not be convinced.
And in his increasingly unhappy mood, the ancestor worship ceremony finally ended at nine o'clock. When the bell outside the hall rang, Yue Yu's eyes finally showed excitement.
.After that, there is the long-awaited clan competition.
In the next ten days, the entire clan plus the nearly 60,000 disciples of the servant will fight against each other until the top ten winners are decided——
※※※※
At the same time, in a small courtyard in the northwest of Yuejia City, Zhang Huiling was lifting her body with the help of others with great difficulty.
——Ran Li's hand was so cruel that two of the three broken bones were in the chest. This made her feel abnormal pain when she sat up. However, Zhang Huiling seemed not to notice, but her face was ashen and she looked steadily.
She looked at her husband beside the bed, her eyes full of resentment.
"Good! You said that little beast is still in the ancestral hall in good health?"
"Something is wrong!"
Yue Youfang tilted his head. At this moment, he did not dare to look at his wife's ferocious face. "My seventh brother not only had no intention of asking for guilt, he personally placed the beast next to his eldest son. The eldest son seemed to have some intentions."
To preserve his will!"
"Is this the attitude of the elder? How is it possible given their family's situation?"
There was a strange look in Zhang Huiling's eyes. For the first time, she felt that she might have been a little reckless this time. "What about the elder of the family? That little beast did not follow the clan rules and beat his elders wantonly. He always committed the crime.
There is no way to escape. As long as the clan elders are convicted, even Yue Yunjie will not be able to interfere!"
"The blame lies here!"
Yue Youfang shook his head, with a thoughtful look on his face: "My father and I asked for favors to defeat the elders in the clan. But no matter how I listened to the words of one or two of the elders, it seemed that they were trying to persuade us to settle down.
? Even if we demand justice, we should wait until the clan competition is over. These people seem to have nothing to do with the eldest brother——"
"Is this happening?"
Zhang Huiling screamed in surprise and straightened her body. After a long time, she lost her mind and leaned on the pillow behind her again. "Then wait a little longer, then that loser of his family will always be able to gain power and become more rampant in the future. There is always a chance.
One day, one day—"
Zhang Huiling did not say anything about what would happen after this day. But at this moment, there were two slender figures outside the window, and they suddenly hit the wall next to the window lattice with their clenched fists.
