The sacrifice was a major event, and ordinary female family members were not allowed to attend. Ye Zhenzhen was able to attend as the clan's concubine, so Aunt Cui only carried the coffin to see her off, and then she and Wang Zai went to Jingningbo's Mansion, where the royal palace plaque had been replaced.
The uncle's residence occupies a large area, and after the ancestral hall is planned, there are many houses. Cui Weizhen's one-room residence is more than enough. Therefore, after reserving a house with enough for five rooms, the remaining houses are divided into tribesmen according to their proximity——
For example, the third uncle and the sixth uncle.
The remaining clansmen with slightly distant blood lines are scattered around the Jingning Bofu. It is only a matter of time before Jingning County becomes the foundation of the Cui family.
Although the plaque of Jingning Bo Mansion is also hung here, the Yongning Bo Mansion in the capital is the foundation of the fifth house. Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen have to stay in the capital on weekdays and have no time to take care of the clan's affairs, so they want the sixth house to be
Take care of it on your behalf.
Cui Shihui was a little surprised and kept evading: "No, no, Wei Zhen, your sixth uncle and I are only mediocre in talent, and I really can't shoulder the heavy responsibility of family affairs. Third uncle is resourceful and experienced, so I'd better let him do it."
Mrs. Liu also nodded in agreement.
Cui Weizhen said: "Sixth uncle, there is no need to be modest. You are kind-hearted and considerate. You are the best at handling family affairs. Third uncle is already old and plans to retire in Jingning County in peace in the future. There is no need to bother him with the common things in the clan."
.”
"Yes, yes, Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt, please don't be humble. You are still our elders, and you must be more able to handle family affairs than Cui Weizhen and I." Ye Zhenzhen also repeatedly advised.
If it weren't for the important symbolic significance of the position of clan leader, Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen both felt that it would be better to let their sixth uncle be the leader. But now that the clan is being separated, it is when people's hearts are unstable and they need a backbone to stabilize them. Cui Weizhen undoubtedly
He was the most suitable candidate, so he had no choice but to take over the position of clan leader.
Although Cui Weizhen is young and has a lower seniority, his prestige within the clan is not low at all. There is no other reason than that he led everyone to create a new situation.
The clansmen who are willing to split from their sect are all interested in development. Since the split, the young people in their families have finally been able to show off their ambitions instead of doing nothing in idle jobs.
Everything is different.
I would like to ask which young people are willing to do nothing and be rich and idle all their lives. They have inherited the pride and knowledge of the aristocratic family, and they are not just for traveling around and talking.
Therefore, Cui Weizhen's prestige among the young people in the clan is extremely high, almost to the point of keeping his promise.
Anyway, during the few days I stayed in Jingning, an endless stream of young tribesmen came to ask Cui Weizhen for advice every day. Those who were already in office asked him for advice on how to become an official, and those who were still preparing to take the exam for merit and fame asked him for advice.
Some people who like his paintings come to ask about his techniques...
Not only was Cui Weizhen's clan members there, but Ye Zhenzhen was not bad either. Many aunts and uncles came to chat with her. The younger generation, led by Cui Qinglan, the twelfth daughter of the sixth uncle, pestered Ye Zhenzhen to teach them makeup and painting.
, a group of little girls were chattering, not to mention how lively it was.
Although it is a bit noisy, it is not without its benefits.
With the company of her old relatives and friends, Aunt Cui had no extra time to indulge in the grief of commemorating her late husband. Even Wangzi had fun with the children of the clan, which made Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen secretly relieved.
