The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1979

The Wade family’s ancestor worship ceremony was the grandest family ceremony that the Wade family had.

All large families would always value ancestor worship, especially for large families with a long history such as the Wade family. As they had a profound history and many branches to their family, they attached great importance to the ancestor worship ceremony.

In truth, a lot of wealthy families had always wanted t o engage in special ancestor worship ceremonies. However, a real ancestor worship ceremony was not something that any ordinary family could just do.

Some nouveau riche families who wanted to hold an ancestor worship ceremony might not be able to keep up with the appearance at all.

This was because these people's ancestral tombs might have the latest three to four generations of their ancestors in total. Moreover, when it came to their identities, most of their ancestors from the previous generations might be peasants with no high-end or amazing stories to be told to the future generations.

Although those from the peasant class were also very worthy of respect, to those in the upper-class societies, if the other party's ancestors did not have a strong identity or background, it would be somewhat

unpresentable and embarrassing to be shown. 4

This was especially so for the upper-class people from Eastcliff.

In addition to comparing their wealth and power, they also compared their family origin and heritage.

In Eastcliff, many elders were survivors of the bygone ages. During ancient times, the ancestors of their families were all nobles from a reputable background. They were all lords and ladies from the upper-class societies.

This kind of family had a strong foundation. During the ancestor worship ceremony, if they read out two to three of their ancestors' deeds, they could immediately portray a very positive feeling to the other people.

The ancestors of the Wade family were also palace officials. Any ordinary family would definitely be very eager to build an ancestral hall in his hometown for their ancestor if there was a talented individual in their family. There were more than a hundred palace officials and scholars amongst the ancestors of the Wade family. There were already about ten top scholars in the history of the Wade family. There were even about thirty-one scholars in the Wade family who had made it to the top three ranks. 4

With a history of nearly three hundred years in ancient times, there had already been about one hundred and twelve examinations for scholars held in the king's palace.

During these three hundred years, a total of more than twenty thousand scholars and one hundred and fourteen champions had been awarded.
