Chapter 124: Establishing clan rules and establishing generation names
Yue country.
Late April.
Liushui County.
An County.
At this time, the people's livelihood in the county was not bad. Various vendors were selling on the streets and pedestrians were rushing around.
The caravan that just returned from business, the rich man who went to the restaurant, the escort agency that returned successfully...
Such a sight.
Although it is not prosperous, it is still full of vitality.
In this chaotic environment, it is even more precious and outstanding.
All of this is attributed to the Chen family, who first released some of the fields that were originally over-controlled by the county families and leased them to civilians at low prices, thus stabilizing the people's sentiments.
Later, a caravan from three counties (except Yang County) was organized to trade in the central county of Liushui County to promote commercial circulation.
Recruiting pharmacists, pharmacists, and various apprentices...
They even used work as relief to repair county walls, build farms, and repair canals...
A series of things that are beneficial to people's livelihood have come down.
Nowadays, Chen's governance in An County has won the hearts of the people.
Anyone who relies on Chen for a living needs a thumbs up.
And today.
Something big was going to happen to the Chen family, and word spread throughout An County.
Redefine the clan rules and stand upright!
Although it is not widely publicized, given Chen's special status in An County, tens of thousands of people are watching Chen, and any little thing will attract everyone's attention.
Therefore, many people have already started to take action and prepare to send gifts to express their congratulations.
…
East End.
Chen Mansion.
Chen Nuozheng was checking the list with his uncle, as well as the corresponding rules.
There is nothing wrong with the list. Everyone in the clan is on the list. My great-uncle also specially asked someone to make a new book to make a genealogy, or genealogy.
As for the character generation, my uncle also discussed it with Chen Nuo.
After rejecting several of my uncle's poems that were too petty and just for peace, my uncle finally took the initiative and came up with a good poem.
"Look, this poem was written by me after I heard someone say it to me when I was young. I think it's pretty good, but it seems a bit too big and my ambitions are extremely high. I don't know if it will work."
The uncle was full of pride, but with a hint of hesitation.
Chen Nuo smiled and took the paper, "Then I have to take a good look at your achievements in this half-life."
At one glance, Chen Nuo's expression turned serious.
There is a seven-rhythm poem written on it.
The sun shines brightly at first,
Thousands of mountains and valleys are like fire.
A round goes up to the thoroughfare of heaven in an instant,
Drive away the stars and the waning moon.
"..."
Chen Nuo's expression gradually became subtle. This is a majestic and majestic poem, which can even be said to be a poem of great ambition and sunshine. The poetry is simple and rough, and the realm is broad and spectacular.
Okay?
Of course!
And it’s still pretty good!
But use it as a poem? Actually it's not very suitable.
Although it can also be said to wish the family prosperity, this poem is actually slightly more inclined to express personal aspirations.
However, if you interpret it in depth, this poem actually has a somewhat contradictory meaning. The sun is shining and it is compared to the big sun...
Of course, if it is used as a generation poem instead of a personal poem, it is just to hope that the family will be strong, so there is no need to be afraid.
"Uncle, were you very dissatisfied with the imperial court when you were young?" Chen Nuo asked abruptly.
The great-uncle was stunned for a moment, with a complex expression on his face, "I was traveling around at that time, I was still very young, and I was still very passionate..."
Uncle didn't answer directly, but the meaning was actually obvious.
"What about this poem?"
Uncle looked at Chen Nuo expectantly.
Chen Nuo: "Well, very good, very good, but..."
Seeing the change in his uncle's expression, Chen Nuo changed his tone and said, "Okay, that's it."
The smile on my uncle's face widened.
In fact, he could have changed the poem to another one, but Chen Nuo thought this poem was really good and liked it from the bottom of his heart, so even if it was slightly inappropriate, Chen Nuo decided to stick with this one.
"So, I am a senior? Chen Tainuo?"
Chen Nuo looked at his uncle half-jokingly.
Unexpectedly, my uncle shook his head and said, "No, you are a junior."
? ? ?
Didn't it mean that the character generation has been lost? Why did a new generation suddenly appear?
"It is indeed lost, but I asked my two remaining old friends some time ago, and they said that the next generation should be from the Zizi generation, and they remember it.
Since we need to re-establish the character generation and be more rigorous, I think it is better for the new character generation to start from the generation next to you. It can also be regarded as witnessing the new beginning of our Chen family. We remnants of the old era should use the old ones, which can be regarded as An ending. "Uncle explained.
Good guy.
That’s how it turns out…
Chen Nuo's mouth twitched.
Chen Tainuo became Chen Zinuo...
That’s all, it sounds pretty good.
"Okay, let's make this decision. Now let's talk about the family rules..."
In terms of clan rules, Chen Nuo's will is the main one, which basically requires the clan members not to betray the family, not to harm the clan members, to unite outside, not to disgrace the family name, to have the highest order from the clan leader, to respect the elders and love the younger, etc.
And it marked a series of punishments, the highest being death, and the whole family was expelled from the family and expelled from the genealogy!
These are all relatively normal clan rules. The only questionable one is probably that the clan leader has too much power.
But this is what Chen Nuo has decided. If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably sit in this position for the rest of his life in the future, so naturally he will have to stipulate this.
The uncle just looked at it without objecting. Today is a troubled time. As the head of a clan, the clan leader must have great power...
Besides, I don’t have two years left. Let the future generations slowly solve the future affairs.
Soon.
Chen Mansion.
Everyone gathered.
Hundreds of people gathered in the parade ground, all looking forward.
At this time, all the Chen family members changed into new clothes, with ruddy faces and quite energetic.
In the front, Chen Nuo and several old people sat in the main seats, while the uncle was holding a book and a pen, ready to do this personally.
Chen Nuo stood up and spoke first.
“My Chen family… Heaven has virtue, earth has grace…”
“… Now we have established the generation name and redefined the family rules. I only hope that my Chen family will prosper from generation to generation and have endless descendants!”
“Prosper from generation to generation! Unending descendants!”
“Prosper from generation to generation! Unending descendants!”
“…”
Then.
One by one, people came forward according to age, and the uncle wrote their names on the family tree according to different families, and told them why the generation name was.
On it, Chen Nuo’s name was on the first page and the first line.
Chen Zinuo!
This was the honor that Chen Nuo had won. The others could only write down their corresponding ancestors first and follow them. Unless one day they made some earth-shaking contributions, they could open a separate page and stand at the top...
This work lasted until the afternoon, and the names of hundreds of people were filled in.
Afterwards, the clan rules were announced, and the books, sticks, whips, and knives were all brought up for all the clan members to see!
For a moment, all the clan members looked solemn.
