I'm an agent, so it's normal for me to know some Feng Shui.

Han Liang gritted his teeth and borrowed 10 yuan from Yu Hongzhou and issued an IOU. If he only borrowed 3 yuan and had yuan left, he wouldn't be able to decorate anything. An yuan base would be enough. After all, it was an intermediate set. The area is small, and there is no need to install ceramic tiles on the wall. If you work harder, you can save a lot of money.

The procedures were completed quickly, and Han Liang directly received the key to his new house in the evening of the same day.

"Let's go, wife, go take a look at the house again and discuss how to decorate it. Once the decoration is completed, go in and celebrate the New Year!" Han Liang said happily to his wife.

"You're overthinking it. The Chinese New Year is less than two months away, and it's still half a year away!" Han Liang's wife was also in a good mood. Looking at her husband who was like a child in front of her, her heart felt as warm as spring.

"Go and see it. If you need anything, please contact me." Yu Hongzhou smiled.

"Thank you, Hong Zhou. Please wait for us in the store. We will go have hot pot later and invite Jingshan to join us." Han Liang said sincerely.

"Okay, I'll call him. Please pay attention to your safety while riding." Yu Hongzhou explained.

Back at the store, Yu Hongzhou called Wang Jingshan and asked his cousin to join him.

At about six o'clock, several people met at a hot pot restaurant.

"Ah Liang, congratulations." Wang Jingshan raised his glass to Han Liang and smiled.

"Haha, thank you. Come and help me remove the formaldehyde after the decoration is finished." Han Liang also smiled.

"It's necessary. I promise to do it carefully for you." Wang Jingshan said.

"Hong Zhou, I want to thank you too, everything is in the wine." Han Liang raised his glass to Yu Hongzhou and drank it in one gulp.

"Drink less, we have to ride a bike later." Yu Hongzhou replied.

"It's okay, my wife is here." Han Liang said. He was really happy. His wife was diligent and thrifty in running the house. They had been married for three years and the promises he made to his wife before the marriage were fulfilled one by one.

While eating hot pot, we were chatting about the decoration of Han Liang's new house. Friends contributed money, effort and ideas. Master masons, carpenters, and various building materials were quickly arranged, and construction would start tomorrow. furnish.

Life is infinitely good, and ordinary people are so content with just a few friends and seven or eight glasses of wine...

After eating hot pot, Yu Hongzhou returned to the store alone, and his grandfather called.

"Hong Zhou, are you free tomorrow? If you are free, you can drive me to the clan meeting." Grandpa said in a loud voice.

"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow morning." Yu Hongzhou also replied in a loud voice.

The Yu surname is a small surname in Cang'an, but it is not a small clan. Yu Hongzhou is not sure about the Yu surname in other places. The Yu surname in Cang'an is actually a branch of the Liao family. The Liao family in Cang'an is a large family, with seven industries and eight industries. Everyone has them. In order to avoid attracting people to target, the family was divided about three hundred years ago into the Guang, Yu, and Xi families. But now, the Guang family is basically gone, and the Xi family is completely divided. There are only the Yu family and the Xi family. The Liao family still moves around, and the rows are all of the same seniority.

The clan meeting was also held in the Liao Family Ancestral Temple. The Liao Family Ancestral Temple is also the best-preserved historical ancient building in Heshu County, with a history of more than 600 years. The entire ancestral temple is surrounded by a courtyard, with a lotus pond in the middle shaped like Tai Chi and Bagua. .

When Yu Hongzhou helped his grandfather get out of the car, a group of middle-aged people immediately surrounded him.

"Ah, Grandpa Jingde, are you still strong?" The man with dark skin walked up first. He opened his mouth and had two shining gold teeth. Yu Hongzhou, his grandfather's full name is Yu Jingde. But the name Liao Jingde is written on the genealogy.

"Haha, Zhang Que, it's you!" Grandpa Yu Hongzhou leaned on his cane and laughed. The Yu family is a divided family. The population is not prosperous, so it is difficult to get married. It is passed down from one generation to the next, and the seniority gradually increases. Until now. , the Yu family is two or three generations ahead.

"Grandpa Jingde, Uncle Hongzhou, please come inside." The man with gold teeth said to Grandpa Yu and Hongzhou and his grandson.

"Don't dare, Brother Zhang Que, please." Yu Hongzhou returned the favor with his hand. When he was eighteen years old, he accompanied his grandfather to the ancestral hall once. He was really not used to it. He was of a higher generation, so he was much older than him. It's common for people to call them uncle, but they can call them like this, but he can't answer them like this. He can only call him brother according to his age.

Entering the main hall, several old men came to greet them. These were all existing clan elders, some with the surname of Liao and some with the surname of Yu. Most of them were from Heshu County, but there were also a few from other counties and cities.

"Uncle Jingde."

"Jingde Gong (Grandpa)."

……

The oldest member of the Liao family at the scene was always the same generation as Yu Hongzhou's father, so Yu Hongzhou's grandfather became the senior one.

"Uncle Jingde, all the little guys of the 0027th generation of our Liao family have been born. We invited you here today to discuss the next generation. Otherwise, when our generation is gone, the current juniors won't know. Why are there seniorities?"

The current generational order of the Liao family and the Yu family are: strengthening the country and ensuring peace, delivering justice, respecting Hongzhang, and passing on poetry and etiquette. Now that the generational order of the word "family" has been born, that is to say, in another twenty years There will be a situation where there is no one to arrange.

Another thing is that today's young people don't play by the rules and don't like to use seniority when naming their children. Therefore, the elders of the Liao family simply convened a clan meeting to discuss the order of seniority after the word "family".

"Mr. Jingde, you are highly respected, so it is up to you to decide the seniority." Liao Zhangque said with a smile. Although he is not of high seniority, he has been doing business outside all year round. It is said that he is doing well, so he can also be said in the clan. He had spoken, but when someone like Yu Hongzhou and his grandfather crushed him, his words were of little use.

"I've been thinking about this in my spare time. See if it works..." Grandpa Yu Hongzhou said without hesitation.

There are also sixteen characters, which are: be kind and benevolent, have everything go smoothly, be loyal, filial and heroic, and carry on the fire.

"Good! The sixteen words "Jingde Gong" are well chosen. There is no need to change them!" A clan elder of Yu Hongzhou's uncle's generation immediately praised it.

"Yes, it's good. The level of respect for the Grand Duke is high. This, especially the meaning of 'passing on the fire', our Liao family will definitely have many descendants in the future. Full of blessings!" Liao Zhangque was also overjoyed.

Yu Hongzhou laughed secretly on the sidelines. In fact, he chose these sixteen words. He just said them through his grandfather's mouth. Unexpectedly, he was given the final say.

After the new generation came out, the next step was to engrave the family monument. Someone hired a trumpet to play loud music, and there was also an engraving master, firecrackers and fireworks, and the clan members had a meal together. It was already around three o'clock in the afternoon. The next step was to complete the process. And one final item – fundraising.

This ancestral hall was almost taken away by the government because it was an ancient building. After many efforts, it was preserved. However, the Cultural Heritage Bureau also required that the ancestral hall needs regular repairs and maintenance, and it must not be vandalized. It needs to be cared for, so the Liao family has to invest a lot every year. Tens of thousands in repair and maintenance costs.

"I will take the lead and donate 10,000 yuan to our ancestral hall." Liao Zhangque said loudly, holding up a wad of banknotes.

"Okay, I'll donate eight thousand!"

"I have five thousand!"

Yu Hongzhou also donated 5,000 yuan on behalf of his family. I remember it was his genealogical name, Liao Hongzhou!
