1543. Chapter 1543 [Special episode - ten years in a hurry] each on its own
One of them saw the big man's face glowing with laughter and said, "I only have one daughter in my family."
"My mother-in-law also gave birth to three girls, and they all got married this year."
"We also have a daughter who just entered school this year."
"Our family has received the news. I even asked my fifteen-year-old son to sign up. One more person to participate means one more chance!"
"Oh! No wonder we didn't know that the news about Ganqing was only notified to clan members who have sons at home."
After listening to what they said, everyone finally understood. Ye Dao is not big, but it is not small. There are tens of thousands of people living on the island.
This change in the rules of the challenge was an impromptu decision made by Ye Tianhua. Due to the rush of time and the vast area of residence of the Ye clan, there was no time to notify every household.
Therefore, Ye Tianhua came up with a manpower-saving and efficient way, which was to notify only those families with single and unmarried boys of the right age, and those who were interested could just submit the list.
This time I heard that the competition was to select a husband for the new clan leader. Everyone was very enthusiastic, and the number of people who signed up for the challenge was several times more than before.
The eldest among the contestants is already thirty years old, and the youngest has just turned fifteen. If it were not for the rigid requirement of age, I am afraid that the number of people would be far more than this.
At this moment, the time has not yet arrived, and everyone at the table was chatting to pass the time, while looking at the ceremony table from time to time, hoping that the ceremony could start early.
Sitting at the front of the viewing seats was former clan leader Ye Tianhua, while the eight elders sat on either side of him.
Ye Tianhua took the tea cup at hand and took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to look at the position of the sun, and nodded to the elders around him: "It's almost time, let's start the ceremony."
"Yes!" Grand Elder Ye Qifeng's health is not as good as it was ten years ago, so Ye Qizong will be in charge of this succession ceremony.
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Ye Qizong slowly walked up the steps to the ceremony stage. He had never been the priest of such an important ceremony, and his excited opening remarks on the stage said too much.
For Ye Huairan, who is about to inherit the throne of the clan, Ye Qizong tells the story from the time she walked out of the Thousand Nights Maze and broke the Iron Man Formation in one fell swoop when she was six years old, until ten years later when she came to Ye Island and broke through the Ten Thousand Snake Cave in the dense forest alone.
Although Huaixai didn't know that there were snake nests around the two wooden houses at the beginning, and it was only by luck that they were able to leave unharmed.
The impassioned and lengthy introduction of the new patriarch was finally finished. As soon as Ye Qizong stepped off the stage, the sound of silk and bamboo suddenly sounded in the valley.
At the end of the road, a girl wearing a crimson robe, her hair tied up with a jade crown, walking on the red carpet, walked step by step towards the ceremony stage.
There is no makeup on her cheeks, but they have their own color. Her eyebrows are as dark as the distant mountains, and her lips are as red as if they were painted with sand. Against the backdrop of her red robe, she looks even more graceful.
When Ye Huairan walked to the stage and was watched by thousands of people, a master of ceremonies stood aside and said loudly: "The ceremony has begun, all challengers please take your places."
The large open space originally circled by the audience was suddenly filled with people, and at a glance they were all young and energetic young men.
They rubbed shoulders one by one, eager to try.
