Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 32 Brother and Brother
ten days later

Royal Manor
"Master, it's time to go to the funeral of the former Patriarch."

A servant girl knelt on the ground and respectfully said this to the young men in plain onyx in the room.

"Ah."

The young man nodded lightly, and two lines of wet tears could still be seen on his face.

He is Wang Tairan, and now he is the new head of the Wang family.

Standing up, Wang Tairan walked slowly outside the house.

"I have seen the lord!"

A group of servants and soldiers paid respectful greetings.

They also wore plain onyx, and the entire royal manor was wrapped in white cloth, and everyone in the manor was dressed in pale white cloth.

Sitting in a carriage covered with white cloth strips, Wang Tairan felt infinitely sad.

The last time Wangjiazhuang saw such a scene was when the ancestor Wang Kang passed away six years ago.

In just one month, Wangjiazhuang was turned upside down.

The Jianren tribes who had been serving as servants of the Wang family were suddenly unified by a female barbarian named Ayina, which seriously threatened the rule of the Wang family in Dashui County, Liaodong. Leading the main force of the royal family to fight in person, the result...

However, they were ambushed in an area called Nuolan River Valley. All the food and grass were lost, almost all the serfs were killed, and hundreds of serf soldiers were killed or injured. Among them were two cavalry archers, a scout, and a heavily armored cavalry who was left behind and was besieged by barbarians.

The most tragic thing was that at the last critical moment, the former Patriarch was caught off guard by a female barbarian who suddenly rushed down the mountain, and his chest was pierced by a spear.

A soldier named Li Xi killed the female barbarian and withdrew to the Wang Family Manor with the dying Patriarch.

However, the former Patriarch had already passed away due to serious injuries on the way back, and at the last moment before his death, he wrote a bloody suicide note on silk, passing on the position of Patriarch to him as his own younger brother.

"The position of Patriarch should have belonged to my elder brother's eldest son, Changzhi, but Changzhi is still young, so my king Tairan lives there temporarily. When Changzhi becomes an adult, I will return the position of Patriarch."

Although he inherited the position of the Patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Tairan has never had the intention of seizing power. In the past, he only wanted to please his grandfather Wang Kang, and later he devoted himself to assisting his elder brother Wang Taihao, but now...

"Meet the owner."

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be too polite."

When Wang Tairan was full of thoughts, the carriage had already arrived at the ancestral mausoleum of the Wang family, and the person who greeted him was a pretty woman.

He knew that this was his brother's concubine, that is, his sister-in-law, named Lan'er, and was later given the surname Wang, so she was also called Wang Lan'er.

"Check!"

Wang Tairan used the [Panel] function in the golden finger he just obtained to Wang Laner in his heart, but there was no response.

"Is this gold finger inherited from grandfather and elder brother fake? Or do you have to be from the Wang family by blood, not the Wang family who gave you the surname?"

Confused in his heart, Wang Tairan used the [panel] viewing function on a five or six-year-old boy led by his sister-in-law Wang Laner.

Immediately, a message that only he could see appeared in front of him.

[Member: Wang Changzhi

Genetics: robust, good-looking
Talent: Noisy, eager to learn]

"Strongness should be inherited from my elder brother, so the delicate features must be inherited from my sister-in-law."

"But I can't see attributes and the like, is it because I'm underage?"

Muttering to himself, Wang Tairan got off the carriage and walked towards the depths of the ancestral mausoleum. After a while, he saw the old grandmother, Wang Chong, Wang Song, Wang Ruojiao, Wang Taisen, Wang Yue, and a group of maids and servants had arrived. , are waiting for him alone.

"Tai Ran, come here."

The old grandmother greeted Wang Tairan.

"Yes."

Wang Tairan responded lightly, walked to the old grandmother, and bowed respectfully to her: "Tairan has met the old grandmother, the old grandmother is blessed and healthy."

Having said that, Wang Taihao couldn't help worrying when he saw the gray hair on the old grandmother's head.

Now that Wang Taihao, the most prestigious member of the Wang family, has passed away, whether he can sit still as the head of the family depends on his grandmother's support. If his grandmother suddenly died of illness, what should he do?
Among the people present, the old grandmother should support her for the sake of the whole family. Aunt Wang Yue's attitude is unclear. And his sons Wang Taisen and Wang Ruojiao, although they have a good relationship with my brother, they may not support me.

Originally, the most powerful member of the Wang family was supposed to be the second family Wang Chong's lineage, but after the second uncle's sons, Wang Taiyang and Wang Roujing, went overseas a few years ago to find the Japanese islands for the Wang family as a place of refuge, they completely disappeared. What's going on now, I don't know if they found the Japanese Islands.

If it weren't for Goldfinger, the names of Wang Taiyang and Wang Roujing's avatars were still bright, Wang Tairan almost thought they had died overseas.

The delay in Wang Taiyang, Wang Roujing's brother and sister's return also caused the second uncle's power to decline sharply. The third uncle Wang Song, who was originally of low status, had a lot of voice in the Wang family.

However, Wang Taisen, the eldest son of the third uncle Wang Song, was injured by a serf during the serf rebellion a few years ago, and one leg was completely scrapped. Now, even if she doesn't support me, she won't oppose me, right?

Wang Tairan's mind is far away, he is already thinking about how to deal with the situation in the family in the future, and considering the development of the Wang family in the Han court, and even began to think about how to inherit his brother's last wish, and completely conquer the people in the mountains and forests who have fallen into a state of division again.

"Tairan, the funeral has begun."

At this time, the old grandmother brought Wang Tairan back to his thoughts.

"Huh? Oh... yes, old grandmother."

Wang Tairan shook his head and shook off those miscellaneous thoughts, and according to the old grandmother's teaching to him, he shouted to the servants: "The late king is buried!"

Afterwards, the servants carried the coffin containing Wang Taihao's body to the burial site, and shouted while walking with the coffin:
"The first king is buried!"

"The first king is buried!"

"The first king is buried!"

The coffin is made of precious golden silk wood, inlaid with jade around it, and the bottom of the interior is covered with soft cloth. The soft cloth is covered with a thick layer of white mink hair, and the white mink hair is covered with nine layers of silk. There was a silver long sword in the hands of the previous Patriarch, and a soft silk quilt was covered on the body, and a layer of light gauze was covered on the silk soft quilt, and pearls and jade were placed on top of the light gauze.

When the coffin was sent to the tomb that had already been dug (every patriarch would dig a tomb for himself and his family members from the very beginning of his ascension to the throne, and they could move in immediately once they passed away), Wang Tairan shouted again: "Bye!"

Everyone, except for the elderly grandmother, knelt down and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times towards the tomb of the former Patriarch Wang Taihao.

"Goodbye!"

According to the ceremony, Wang Taihao continued to shout, and then kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times with the crowd.

"Goodbye!"

……

After repeating this six times (according to the time when the head of the family has been in power, six rituals will be carried out after six years in power), everyone's foreheads are flushed and their legs are weak.

But this is nothing. Compared with the death of the ancestor Wang Kangxian more than six years ago, it is easy now. When the ancestor Wang Kang was buried, everyone performed 81 consecutive rituals.

After the kneeling ceremony was over, Wang Tairan immediately started the next procedure, so he shouted to all the servants: "Human martyrdom!"

Six gagged slaves were brought in. They were three girls and three teenagers. They were about to be buried as sacrifices and went to the underworld to continue serving the late emperor.

According to the rules set by the ancestors, the scale of human sacrifice is also related to the time in power. Those who have not completed one year have no right to perform human sacrifice. After one year, one more person will be sacrificed every year, and the number of men and women should be as equal as possible.

The ancestor Wang Taihao was in power for six and a half years. According to the ancestral system, the number of people who died was six.

"Woooooo-"

The boys and girls struggled and cried, but it was meaningless. They were tied to the stone pillars in the mausoleum, and then the gate of the mausoleum was closed, and then the gate of the mausoleum was filled with mud by the servants to bury them.

While these burial ceremonies were going on, Wang Tairan also studied another [lineage] function of the golden finger.
