Chapter 184
The patriarchy of this era is definitely beyond the imagination of some people.

Generally speaking, women are not allowed to enter the ancestral tree.

If it is a big family, such as some famous families, women are allowed to be included in the genealogy, but in ordinary families, daughters are generally not included in the genealogy.

For example, if a certain family has only three daughters, then when the ancestral genealogy reaches his generation, his lineage will be broken, and then it will be empty.

But if there is a daughter in this person's family who recruits a husband, then his daughter and son-in-law can all be recorded in the ancestral tree, and the child born will naturally follow the mother's surname and be recorded in the ancestral tree.

And the married daughter-in-law usually only has a surname and no first name. Unless she is a person who has made great contributions to the whole family, she is not qualified to leave her name taboo.

Of course, in many common people's homes, the women do not have names, they are either arranged in order, or they are called some small names that are easy to support.

For example, almost every daughter in the Lu family has a symbolic name, which is already considered good.

Chen Xingyan first established the Ruyi Workshop, and now he proposed to rebuild the ancestral hall. Even if the patriarch did not deliberately speak to her, I believe her name will definitely be recorded in the final new genealogy.

It can't be said that it will last forever, at least for future generations, their mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers... are not just a simple Chen family.

Chen Xingyan is the soul of a modern person. He didn't care about these things originally, but he couldn't help himself and lived in such a real environment.

If she can gain the respect of her husband's family, it means that she will have a higher and higher right to speak in the future.

To put it bluntly, even if there is no male relative in the future, she will not be bullied.

That's why Chen Xingyan thought of taking the initiative to give money, just to get these seemingly invisible benefits.

If it were superficial people like Mrs. Lu and Lu Xinghua, I'm afraid they would call Chen Xingyan stupid and give money for nothing.

Chen Xingyan still can't predict how much benefit her inadvertent words and deeds will bring her in the future.

The inn built by Lu Xing's family also got up, lit firecrackers in the morning, and opened in a lively manner.

The village head is also happy, after all, he is his son, and now their family can be regarded as a small property, he feels very comforted in his heart.

Now in the village, apart from Lu Daxiong's family, the village chief's family is having the best life. Of course, Lu Youcai, Lu Xiaoliu and other families are doing well, but compared with the village chief's family, they are not as good.

After all, the village head's family had it in the end of the year.

The matter of the ancestral hall has already started to be discussed. The village head and the third grandfather went to the town to invite an old man over. It is said that this man once showed Feng Shui to the former county magistrate and won a silver reward.

Soon, the address of the new ancestral hall was drawn up, in the middle east of the village.

The new ancestral hall will be more than twice the size of the original old ancestral hall.

According to Chen Xingyan's suggestion, after discussing with the village chief and the others, they also felt that they could build a larger land, build a decent courtyard, and then invite some old people from the clan to guard the ancestral hall.

In this way, people who were not doing well in those days can barely solve the housing problem, and they can make more income.

It doesn't take much money to just build the ancestral hall. After all, there are only a few houses, and the most is to build another big yard.

However, there are a lot of specialties in this ancestral hall. Whether it is the incense burner, incense table, tablet, etc., everything that needs to be replaced must be replaced, and the incense that should be offered must not be cut off.

Because the old ancestral hall has been in disrepair for a long time, and it often leaks rain, the memorial tablets of Xianduo's ancestors are all very old, and some of them have even been soaked in water, and the color has changed to different shades.

The village head and several clan elders thought about replacing all the tablets in the ancestral hall with new ones, which would naturally cost a lot of money.

In addition to using good wood, you have to find a good master to do it.

In addition, at the main entrance of the ancestral hall, a larger incense burner is planned, so that paper money can be burned here in the future when worshiping ancestors.

In short, after all the calculations, it will cost at least 100 taels of silver.

The village chief didn't ask Chen Xingyan again, but discussed with several elders of the clan and held a clan meeting.

Those who are willing to give the money will give the money, and those who are not willing to give the money will give more.

After all, it is the ancestral hall of the whole family, and no one can just think about hiding.

Because the village chief said at the beginning that Lu Daxiong's family paid 80 taels of silver, so the clansmen didn't have any opinions.

If it was before, some people might still feel sourly that Lu Daxiong is too ignorant, he paid 80 taels, are you still short of 20 taels?

Now that he has been in contact with some respectable people for a long time, he naturally knows that Lu Daxiong has contributed a lot. These little people, they can't be in vain, so they can do as much as they can.

Besides, if Lu Daxiong really gave all the money, I'm afraid they will still be unhappy.

After all, this is a replacement for the ancestors, how can only Lu Daxiong come out?

If the ancestors had spirits and only protected him, Lu Daxiong, wouldn't the rest of them be at a loss?
In short, the matter of the new ancestral hall started vigorously.

Because it was to build an ancestral hall, the village chief decided to let his own clansmen do some fine work. As for piling or building walls, it didn't matter, and it wouldn't cost much money to hire some experts to do it.

As soon as the ancestral hall was built here, someone from the county sent news to Chen Xingyan.

Liu Xunjian took people to suppress the bandits, but his success was unfavorable.

The first time they met, they lost one person and injured more than a dozen.

"Sister-in-law, this is the letter that the boss asked us to send back. Do you have anything to send to the boss?"

The one who came to deliver the letter was a monkey. One of them was injured, and the monkey was responsible for sending the person back. Otherwise, there would be no chance of delivering the letter.

"You've worked hard on this journey. Go wash your face first, and then eat some food. I just finished writing my reply."

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law."

Hou Zi also knew that everyone's food was good, and his sister-in-law was a generous person, so he was not polite, so he went outside with Xiao Liu.

After reading the letter, Chen Xingyan realized that the main reason for the failure of the attack on the stockade was due to the terrain.

These thieves are also shrewd, occupying a good place, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Moreover, they have set up guard posts on the top, and if there is any movement below, the people above will be able to find out, and it is impossible to sneak attack.

Chen Xingyan thought about it, and she couldn't help with this kind of thing, so she hurriedly went to the backyard to prepare some wound medicine, hoping that the dull bear would not get hurt.

 Today is New Year's Eve, did you watch the Spring Festival Gala?Feixue is here to wish everyone an early year!
