Chapter 329: Chapter 329 Pure Gold Genealogy
The Bai Family’s genealogy is recorded in volus, with one volu for every hundred years.
She carefully took out the latest volu, knowing that if she damaged the genealogy, Grandpa could kill her.
Upon unfolding it for a look, at the very end, it read: the second branch, Bai Hongguang, wife Liu Man, daughter Bai Yinyin.
She was the youngest child in the current generation of the Bai Family.
Bai Yinyin sneered to herself, “Bai Chuwei, you also want to be included in our Bai Family genealogy?”
As she carefully turned the pages of this volu, each mber of the Bai Family was recorded in clear detail, including dates of birth, tis of death, and for so, thorough biographies.
...
The first volu was not there, so she looked through the second volu.
Bai Yinyin could not help but admire that indeed, her Bai Family was full of capable people, so of whom were governnt officials and rchants, and several had appeared in history books.
Further back were the tis of the feudal society of the Bai Family.
The Bai Family’s genealogy was very detailed compared to other families, including n and won, wives and concubines alike.
You must know that in ancient tis, it was not permissible for girls to be recorded in the genealogy, not to ntion daughters-in-law, who were outsiders and could not be written down; their Bai Family was indeed different from the rest.
Slipping through volu after volu.
The sneer on Bai Yinyin’s face beca more pronounced as she chuckled sarcastically, “Isn’t she supposed to be our Bai Family’s esteed ancestress? I’ve flipped through four or five books already, so why haven’t I seen the three characters ‘Bai Chuwei’?”
The further she got, the less Bai Yinyin expected Bai Chuwei’s na to actually appear; she began to flip through the genealogy as if it were a storybook.
She found it quite enjoyable, muttering to herself, “I never expected my Bai Family’s ancestors to be so impressive, even won daring to aspire to be female officials…”
The more she read, the more Bai Yinyin sighed. It seed that the Bai Family in ancient tis must have been a household of great wealth and prestige, many were the Emperor’s disciples, high-ranking officials in the court; now, they really had declined.
Bai Yinyin never imagined the genealogy could be so detailed, but it seed there were omissions, the key point being… the further back the dates were pushed, the more they reached a thousand years ago…
How strange!
Bai Yinyin scratched her head, feeling sothing peculiar about the Bai Family; she decided to start with the very first genealogy book.
Upon seeing that first genealogy record, Bai Yinyin couldn’t help but blurt out, “Damn!”
Having sworn unconsciously, Bai Yinyin was so frightened that she quickly patted her mouth and knelt down in front of the rows of spirit tablets, bowing her head and saying, “Honored ancestors, do not bla , Yinyin didn’t an to swear, please don’t hold it against .”
After kowtowing three tis, she got up from the mat, hurried back to where the genealogies were kept, and looked at the first bound in red silk with shock.
She tapped it with her hand, exclaiming in astonishnt, “This… this is pure gold, isn’t it?”
A genealogy made of gold, no wonder it was preserved for so long; Bai Yinyin was quite startled.
Among the many volus of the genealogy, only the first was crafted from pure gold; the rest were mostly books, or bamboo slips and silk.
How many nas could a gold genealogy record?
Bai Yinyin’s curiosity was piqued to the extre; she carefully unraveled the gold silk envelope around the pure gold genealogy, revealing only two nas.
The writing was in ancient script, but she still managed to make out the characters with so effort.
Bai Yinyin imdiately looked and her pupils suddenly constricted, her entire body went limp with shock, and she fell to the ground.
At that mont, her mind went blank.
One of the nas engraved on the golden plate was—Bai Chuwei.
