Chapter 1979
The Wade Family’s ancestor worship is the most grand family ceremony in the entire Wade Family.
Large families value ancestor worship, especially large families with a long history like the Wade family,
which have a profound history and many branches, and they attach great importance to ancestor
worship ceremony.
In fact, many wealthy families really want to engage in special ancestor worship ceremonies, but the
real ancestor worship ceremonies are definitely not something ordinary families can do.
Some nouveau riche families want to hold an ancestor worship ceremony but can’t hold up this stage.
Because these people’s ancestors may have buried the ancestors of the last three or four generations
in total, and when it comes to their identities, they may all be farmers in the previous generations.
There is no tall story to tell for future generations.
Although the peasant class is also very worthy of respect, but in these upper-class societies, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtancestors did not have a strong enough identity background, and it was indeed somewhat ineffective.
Especially in the upper class of Eastcliff.
In addition to comparing money and power, it is the family origin and heritage.
In Eastcliff, there were many elders and children who were in Qi during the Manchu and Quintong
dynasties. When the ancestors of these families were in the Quintong dynasty, they were all nobles in
the Qi. It was not which elder brother, which Gege, and even the first-rate elders in the dynasty.
Such a family has a strong foundation. When the ancestor worship ceremony, if you take out two or
three ancestors’ deeds and read it out, you can immediately give people a feeling of bullying.
The ancestors of the Wade family were also imperial officials. The ordinary family and the ancestors of
the ancestors could not wait to build an ancestral hall for this ancestor in his hometown.
However, the Wade family, the ancestors of the ancestors were awarded hundreds of scholars and ten
of the champions. The top three, including the champion, made a total of 31.
With a history of nearly 300 years in the Quintong Dynasty, there were 112 examinations in the imperial
examinations.
In this nearly three hundred years, a total of more than 20,000 scholars and 114 champions were
awarded.
The Wade family accounted for nearly one-tenth, which was an extremely remarkable achievement.
It is precisely because of the talents of the ancestors that the Wade family can continue to exist for
hundreds of years, and it has always been quite strong.
Even in the era of war, it is at least a tyrant.
The Wade family has opened branches and leaves for so many years. There are at least tens of
thousands of Wade family descendants all over the world, and a considerable number of them have
gone overseas.
Their ancestors, going back hundreds of years, are the ancestors of the Wade family.
It’s just that in ancient times, the eldest son inherited the mantle, and the other sons and concubines
had to separate their families. Therefore, more and more Wade family members were reduced to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcollateral families, leaving only the descendant line as the real family.
It’s like Charlie Wade’s father has three brothers. According to the ancient rules, after Charlie Wade’s
parents’ death, the three sons of the Wade family will be separated. By then, the eldest son, Corran,
will inherit most of the family business and residence.
The second and third sons should leave the original Wade family mansion with their family members
after three years of filial piety for their father, and start another family by themselves.
In this way, the second son and third son’s two families became Wade family’s collateral family.
At this time, the two collateral families were still relatively close to the main family. After all, the second,
third, and eldest brothers were still the brothers of the siblings.
But by the time of Charlie Wade’s generation, it was Charlie Wade’s cousin who inherited the mantle of
the main family, so the relationship between the two collateral families and the main family was another
generation.
By the time of the third and fourth generations, these two collateral families have also derived several
more detailed collateral families, so they are farther away from the main family.
If it lasts for five or six generations, the span may have been more than 100 years.
At that time, we probably didn’t know each other at all, and we could only find the names of
descendants of other collateral families on the genealogy.
