Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

A wedding is complicated and busy. Even if the Yang family has hundreds of servants, it still seems a bit busy.

Although Yang Zhengshan had some leisure time in hiding, after the worship service, he was still busy entertaining the guests who came to congratulate him.

By the time the guests were sent away, it was already dark.

Early the next morning, before Yang Zhengshan woke up, he was awakened by the movement outside the door.

"What time is it?" Yang Zhengshan felt that it was still early and asked.

"Master, we just arrived at Mao Shi!" Qingxia, who was guarding the outer room, replied.

Yang Zhengshan sat up and Yu Qingyi also woke up.

On weekdays, they get up around this time, wash themselves and then do morning exercises.

But on weekdays, it would be very quiet outside if they didn't get up. Today, there were just a few more subtle noises.

"Are Chengye and Yu family here?" Yu Qingyi asked.

"It should be!" Yang Zhengshan said as he got up and dressed.

According to Darong's custom, the new daughter-in-law must meet her uncle early the morning after entering the house. This uncle refers to her parents-in-law.

The red candles were lit in the bridal chamber last night, waiting to pay homage to my uncle and aunt in front of the dawn hall. After putting on make-up, I lowered my eyebrows and asked my husband-in-law, how dark or light is my eyebrows?

Not only that, the new daughter-in-law also has to cook for and serve her parents-in-law.

Although Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi are not the parents-in-law of the new daughter-in-law, they are the grandparents of the young couple. Naturally, they are indispensable in the drama of paying homage to their aunt in front of the hall.

Although such customs and rules are a bit annoying, Yang Zhengshan cannot cancel them.

When in town, do as the Romans do!

If he doesn't let the bride come over, the bride may feel that his grandfather doesn't want to see her.

Sure enough, after Yang Zhengshan simply washed up and came to the main room, he found that Mrs. Wang and his bride, Mrs. Yu, were already preparing breakfast. Apparently they had gotten up very early to prepare.

"Dad!" When Wang saw Yang Zhengshan, he immediately called with a grin.

The chubby face looked particularly festive when he smiled.

"Granddaughter-in-law, please give my regards to my grandfather!" The bride, Mrs. Yu, was still a little nervous, so she bowed her body and lowered her head without daring to raise her head.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at the food on the table and said calmly: "Well, it's just a simple matter, don't make it too troublesome!"

As soon as he said these words, Mrs. Yu's petite body trembled slightly, probably feeling that Yang Zhengshan might not like her very much.

Because paying homage to her aunt in front of the hall is a way for the bride to show respect and filial piety to her parents-in-law and elders, and it is also a process for the bride to show her ability to run a household to her parents-in-law.

Yang Zhengshan said to simply take care of it. According to Yu's understanding, this was not to show sympathy for himself, but because he felt that he was not capable enough and did not have the ability to run a household.

After all, Mrs. Yu is not an ordinary bride, she is the eldest grandson-in-law of the Yang family.

However, Mrs. Yu only panicked for a moment, and Mrs. Wang grinned and said, "My daughter-in-law knows that dad doesn't like these customs, so she didn't ask Mrs. Yu to prepare too much."

Her words made Yu feel a lot more at ease. At least her mother-in-law was very considerate of her.

Yang Zhengshan didn't know that Mrs. Yu would be thinking so much. As a little girl, she had just moved in and was still unfamiliar with the Yang family. It was normal to be a little sensitive.

After a while, Li, Yang Minghao, Liang, Jiang He and Yang Yunyan came over one after another, and Yu Qingyi came last with Ming Zhao.

As for the other juniors, there is no need to come over. There are too many people and it is not appropriate to make too much noise in the early morning.

Each courtyard has a small kitchen and there are so many servants and maids, so there is no need to worry about going hungry.

The food is ready and everyone is seated.

Then the young couple Yang Chengye and Yu first served tea to the elders and served them meals.

With so many elders, the young couple had a lot of work.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at Yu's granddaughter-in-law a few more times. Yu was already sixteen years old this year. Although she came from a martial arts family and practiced martial arts since she was a child, she had not yet become a martial artist.

But looking at the calluses on her hands, it seems that this girl is a master who can endure hardship and persist in practicing.

Yang Zhengshan is still very happy about this.

Everyone in the Yang family practices cultivation, including his daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law.

However, the three daughters-in-law, Wang, Li, and Liang, were not from martial arts families after all. Although they have good cultivation skills now, their potential and achievements are very limited.

On the contrary, if Yu's granddaughter-in-law is properly trained, she should be able to achieve great success in martial arts in the future.

After a series of complicated rules, Yang Zhengshan was finally able to pick up the bowl and eat. He finished the bowl of porridge and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"Chengye, please take Mrs. Yu around the house more these days so that she can get familiar with it, and explain the rules of the house to her!"

"Yes!" Yang Chengye responded.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Mr. Yu again and said, "Our family doesn't have so many rules, but we can't fall behind in practice. We must practice hard in the future."

He felt it was necessary to talk about cultivation.

It is not suitable for women to practice. It is undoubtedly much more troublesome than men.

Many women who come from martial arts families give up their martial arts practice after getting married, and spend time raising their husbands and raising their children in the backyard.

This is also the reason why there are relatively few women in the military and in the world.

However, Yang Zhengshan feels that it is better for women not to give up practicing. Cultivation may not necessarily lead to great achievements, but at least it can strengthen the body.

"Granddaughter-in-law, please follow your grandfather's teachings!" Mrs. Yu replied cautiously.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and walked out of the main room with his hands behind his back.

Cultivation cannot be stopped. If he does not practice for a day, he will feel uncomfortable. This is a habit he has developed over a long time.

After breakfast, everyone went back to their respective courtyards. Everyone had to practice, so they didn't stay in the main courtyard for too long.

Yang Chengye brought Yu to their own courtyard.

The courtyard was not big, but there were four main rooms, four side rooms, and twelve servants, four of whom were Yu's dowry, two maids and two maids.

The two maids came from the palace, and should have been given to Yu by the Queen.

The Queen had only this one niece, and Yu's marriage was arranged by her, so she naturally paid more attention to it. Although the dowry she gave was not much, it was obviously thoughtful.

"Husband, can I continue to practice in the future?" Returning to her own courtyard, Yu's nervous mood finally relaxed.

Yang Chengye smiled gently and said, "Of course, didn't grandpa say it? You can't fall behind! Not only do you have to practice, but you have to work hard to practice and strive to become a warrior as soon as possible!"

Although Yang Chengye looks big and strong, and appears calm and mature outside, he is actually a little warm man.

The young couple just got married, and Yang Chengye still took care of his wife's emotions.

"It's hard to become a warrior. My grandfather said I have a good talent, but I haven't become a warrior after practicing for so many years!" Yu was a little frustrated.

In the Yang family, it is normal to become a warrior at the age of fifteen, but in the outside world, let alone fifteen, even if you become a warrior at the age of sixteen, you can be called a genius.

The Yu family has a shallow foundation. Although Yu Zijin has a good talent, the Yu family does not have too many training resources for her, so she can only rely on her own hard work to become a warrior.

Now she is sixteen years old, but still feels that she is far from becoming a warrior.

Yang Chengye grabbed her little hand, and Yu's face immediately turned red. Although they had been married last night, the little girl's skin was still too thin.

"Don't worry, I will guide you." Yang Chengye said.

Yu couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What is my husband's current cultivation?"

Yang Chengye showed a little proud emotion, "One step away from the post-natal realm!"

Yu opened her mouth wide, her eyes full of disbelief.

Yang Chengye expressed that he was very happy with her surprise.

Men probably like women's admiration the most.

Although Yang Chengye is not very old, he has upgraded to a man last night.

"My father hasn't even reached the acquired realm yet!"

Yu was surprised and admired, and her expression was particularly cute, which made Yang Chengye a little distracted.

In order to avoid making a fool of himself, Yang Chengye quickly changed the subject and said, "Let's go and practice!"

As he said that, he pulled Yu to the yard.

The servants and maids in the yard finished their work and were already practicing.

"Young Master Sun!"

Yang Chengye's personal servant Dafu saw Yang Chengye coming out of the house and hurried to greet him.

Dafu is two years older than Yang Chengye and has been with Yang Chengye since he was nine years old.

Since the rise of the Yang family, the family will arrange a servant or a maid to follow the younger generation of the Yang family when they are seven years old. One is to let the children have a companion and not feel lonely, and the other is to cultivate the master-servant relationship from an early age.

The relationship between a master and servant who grew up together is sometimes deeper than that between brothers and sisters.

As the eldest grandson of the Yang family, Yang Chengye has the most servants around him. In addition to Dafu, there are four more servants who have been with him since he was ten years old.

As for the maids, before the men of the Yang family get married, there will be no maids around them. Only two older maids will be arranged to take care of them.

One is to prevent the maids from having impure thoughts and seducing the young master, and the other is to prevent the young master from tasting the forbidden fruit.

"Well, you go to practice, I will practice with my wife!" Yang Chengye shook off his brother who grew up with him and went to practice with his wife.

Dafu scratched his head. He used to practice with Young Master Sun. Now that Young Master Sun is married, I have to practice alone!

He secretly glanced at Yu and could only walk out of the inner courtyard with grievance and go to practice with his friends.

Yu did not pay attention to Dafu, but looked at the maids who were practicing in the inner courtyard.

She was surprised to find that these maids were all warriors.

"My husband, they are warriors too!"

"Well, they are the maids arranged by my mother. I will let them pay their respects to you later! Now is the time for cultivation, let's cultivate first!" Yang Chengye said indifferently.

Although there were no maids in his courtyard before, Wang had prepared them for him a long time ago. Now that he was married, these four maids became people in his courtyard.

"But they are actually warriors, and they don't look old!" Yu was so surprised that she couldn't help herself. She looked at the four maids with a pair of eyes, as if she had seen a ghost.

Yang Chengye scratched his head, he didn't know how to explain.

As long as the maids and servants of the Yang family were over sixteen years old, they were basically warriors. Of course, the old servants were not included.

"You will know later, let's cultivate first!"

Yang Chengye couldn't explain, so he could only take Yu to cultivate first.

Yu didn't ask about it. She just felt that the Yang family was very different from the Yu family. Even a maid was a warrior. This broke her cognition and made her feel inferior.

But she was not the kind of person who cared about every little thing, nor was she the kind of person who couldn't stand others doing well.

Seeing that the Yang family had so many warriors, she worked harder to practice.

Two days later, Yang Chengye brought Yu Zijin back to his parents' home. This meant that the wedding was completely over. Yu Zijin married and became the granddaughter-in-law of the Yang family. Yang Chengye got to worship at the Yue family and became the son-in-law of the Yu family.

There is also the custom of "temple meeting" later, that is, the bride must go to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors of her husband's family and perform the "temple meeting" ceremony. This is the process of the bride's entry into the family tree.

However, this matter is also simple. It does not require Yang Chengye and Yu to return to Yangjia Village. They only need to worship in the ancestral temple worshipped by the Yang family, and then let Yang Minghui add Yu's name to the family tree of the Yang family.

After Yang Chengye's marriage ended, Yang Zhengshan focused his energy on the official business of the government office.
