Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 115 Ancestor Worship on New Year's Eve (Part [-])
On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Su family worshiped their ancestors.

Early in the morning, Yun Chuwei and Su Yan passed by.

The door of the ancestral hall was wide open, and the genealogy and rules were placed in front of the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Su family.

On the table, incense candles are lit, and the offerings are: sheep, five bowls of vegetables, five bowls of rice, a pair of jujube cakes, and a big steamed bun.

People in the clan come and go in an endless stream.

Probably because of the festivities of the Chinese New Year, Old Master Su was in better spirits than before, barely able to stand up and lead the clansmen to officiate.

Burn three sticks of incense, and then burn the paper after bowing down. After a set of rituals, he didn't see him take a breath.

The old lady Su watched from the side, and cursed secretly: It really is a bastard.

She had been looking forward to Mrs. Su's burial all day long, but she never thought that he would live more and more vigorously. Looking at it like this, she might not die for a while.

After offering sacrifices to their ancestors, the women of the older generation in the clan went to Mrs. Su's Rongxi Hall to ask about their health and family affairs. Yun Chuwei wanted to go back, but was stopped by Mrs. Sun, "The relatives in the clan can only get together like this in a year. One time, Aunt Nine just went back right away, how boring, anyway, I have to come over to eat New Year’s Eve dinner at night, and it’s cold outside, wouldn’t it be troublesome to run like this, just listen to me, don’t go back, and go chat with us in the warm pavilion chatter."

Yun Chu glanced at Su Yan slightly.

Xiao Sun laughed again, "The juniors in the clan know that Uncle Jiu is very good at chess, and have already prepared a chess table in the hall outside, so Uncle Jiu must go and teach those youngsters well."

Su Yan nodded, "Wei Wei, then you go with them, and we'll go back after the New Year's Eve dinner."

"it is good."

It didn't matter to Yun Chuwei, anyway, she has a poisonous mouth, who dares to say that she is wrong, she will definitely return it on the spot, because she was afraid that Su Yan didn't like to stay here for too long, that's why she hesitated just now.

It has to be said that the root system of the Su family is simply too huge. Yun Chuwei was secretly amazed when he worshiped the ancestors just now, and now he was shocked again when Xiao Sun entered the largest warm pavilion.

The women inside are all from Xiao Sun's generation, at a glance, the room is full of people, all dressed in red and willow green, dazzling people's eyes.

As soon as they entered the door, the women bowed their knees slightly to Yun Chu, "Aunt Nine is safe."

Yun Chu glanced around slightly. In fact, among these women, a large part of them were older than her.

Once again, I sighed for Su Yan's terrible seniority.

But that's also good, they have to respect them when they are a generation older, and they have to be sure of what to say in front of her before they can say it.

As long as there is someone who is unobstructed, she can say a few words according to her seniority.

With a faint smile, Yun Chu said slightly: "You are welcome, sit down."

The women sat back.

Here, Yun Chuwei is the elder and should sit at the top.

Xiao Sun was standing next to her, occasionally joking with Yun Chu slightly.

Seeing that this direct elder was not as serious as the old lady, the women started talking and laughing, and mentioned Yun Chuwei from time to time.

As long as it's not offensive, Yun Chuwei doesn't care about it, just follow them happily.

All lunch was eaten at Su's house, and Yun Chuwei heard that the nanny in charge under Xiao Sun's hand came to report that there were not enough tables, and they had to take turns to serve the table.

More than 20 tables have been set up, with eight seats per table, which is still not enough, enough to show the number of clansmen who came to worship their ancestors.

Xiao Sun ordered, "Then invite the elders to serve first."

Glancing at Yun Chuwei, he asked, "Aunt Nine, do you want to follow the ancestors, or stay behind with us?"

Although Yun Chuwei is an elder, but she is young, she is just a little girl in front of Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun is not comfortable going to the same table as Yun Chuwei and the old lady when they are older.

"Let's go with you!" Yun Chuwei said, to be honest, she really didn't want to see the old lady at the dinner table, she was very nervous, and she was afraid that she would feel sick.

Thus, the order of the banquets was decided in this way.

The elders eat very slowly, especially those old men, they have to punch twice when they serve a glass of wine, and they have to say four or five sentences before they are willing to deliver food to their mouths.

If he hadn't eaten something when he went out, Yun Chuwei would have been so hungry that his chest stuck to his back.

Some of the women in the warm pavilion were starving too much. Seeing this, Mrs. Sun immediately asked for snacks.

Yun Chuwei gnawed his snacks boredly, thinking to himself, did Su Yan go to the same table with the elders or stay behind and wait for the younger ones?

Su Yan was sitting at the old man's table right now.

He is the first high-ranking official of the Su family in the past hundred years, with outstanding military achievements, won the emperor's favor, and is also a big figure that the younger generations of the Su family are proud of.

Therefore, even though the elders of the branch were dozens of years older than him, they still dragged him to the table and asked him to tell how he turned defeat into victory in the last battle in the Southwest.

Su Yan slowly described the fierce battle to everyone, every word and every word was true, without any exaggeration, the grandpas were excited and toasted him one after another.

Although Su Yan is young, his drinking capacity is not comparable to that of anyone present, so in the end, all the people at the table came out drunk, but he was the only one who was still elegant and dignified. It is a unique scenery.

Because it took too long to eat, it was almost evening when all the banquets were over. The servants moved quickly and quickly withdrew the table, and began to prepare for the evening New Year's Eve dinner.

The New Year's Eve dinner is only prepared for the Su family's own family, so it is less complicated than the morning meal, but it is also more delicate.

When night fell, snow fell in the sky again, and after the crackling of firecrackers, the hall began to set up banquets.

The concubines and aunts and concubines who usually couldn't sit on the table casually all came. From the old lady's generation to the Xiao Sun's generation, there were seven or eight tables in total. The door of each room is opened, and there are four tables in one room, and there is a passage in the middle. It looks like there are seven or eight tables for the Eight Immortals in a large hall.

If you eat late for lunch, you won't have much appetite for the New Year's Eve dinner. Most people just come to join in the fun.

Yun Chuwei didn't even have an appetite, so he put down his chopsticks after taking a few mouthfuls of soup.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, red envelopes were given out to the servants.

The servants of the Su Mansion and the Duke's Mansion add up to hundreds of people, assuming that one person is given two taels of silver, then there are six to seven hundred taels in total.One tael of silver is 700 grams, 37 taels of silver is 700 grams, one gram is 25900 catties, and the total is 0 catties

This weight, whether it is heavy or light, at least it is very difficult for the person who distributes the silver to the servants.

Obviously, the Su family would not do this. What they gave out was a red envelope, which was the same as the modern red envelope with the word "Fu" stamped on it, but what was inside was not silver, but a bank note for universal deposit and withdrawal.

When he came to this world, Yun Chuwei realized that there was no such thing as banknotes with denominations of tens of thousands or tens of thousands of taels in the costume dramas he starred in before.

Here, there are only five denominations of government banknotes, one tael, three taels, five taels, ten taels and 50 taels.

All the red envelopes were placed on trays, and the servants were assigned to stand outside the door, and the nurse in charge came forward to collect them by calling their names.

Of course, the red envelopes are received in front of the masters, because they have to kneel and kowtow to thank them.

The size of the red envelope is determined according to each person's performance and qualifications on weekdays.

The old man was at the top, and he could clearly see every servant who came to receive the red envelope.

The old lady waited patiently, and she was already looking forward to what the old lady's reaction would be if he saw Lu Chuan soon.

More than 20 years ago, Lu Chuan went to Su's house with money and said he wanted to redeem Qu's family back.

Seeing his rival in love again after so many years, will the old man just take his anger out on him?

The nanny in charge is still doing the roll call.

The ones in the Su Mansion have already been distributed, and it is the turn of the Duke's Mansion. After reading the names, it is finally Lu Chuan's turn.

"Next, Lu San."

Old Madam Su sat up straight and stared at the threshold.

Lu Chuan walked in slowly, and after receiving the red envelope from his mother in charge, he knelt down to thank him.

Seeing him, Old Madam Su's face changed violently. The person below had little red bumps all over his face, which could be described as completely unrecognizable. Even if the old man had sharp eyes, he would not be able to see that this was Lu Chuan.

"You..." Mrs. Su pointed at him, "What's the matter with you?"

Lu Chuan said: "Go back to the old lady, the villain got angry recently, and has pimples on his face, which is still not healed."

Old Madam Su gritted her teeth secretly, she should be the one who got angry, right?
When it's not good to have pimples, but it's not good to grow them in Dalai, and it directly made her suffer from a dumb loss. This tone is really hard to swallow.

Yun Chuwei sat aside, raising his eyebrows.

The pimple on Lu Chuan's face was real. With Su Yan, a genius doctor, he naturally wanted him to grow as long as he wanted, and he would get well whenever he wanted him to be well.

Yun Chuwei was in a good mood seeing the old lady's furious but unable to break out.

Sure enough, people just can't have the intention of harming others, otherwise they are easy to be counted back.

Unable to wait until the relatives left, Mrs. Su directly summoned Qian's mother and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that there was something growing on Lu Chuan's face yesterday?"

Mother Qian was also very puzzled, "The eyeliner over there didn't find any problems yesterday."

That's what grew overnight.

Can there be such a coincidence in this world?

The old lady Su naturally didn't believe it. She raised her old eyes and looked at Yun Chuwei and Su Yan. It must be the couple's fault, otherwise others would not have such a great ability.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Su dug her nails deeply into the armrest of the seat.

Lu Chuan's matter was not exposed, and everyone had a safe and smooth New Year's Eve.

When returning home, Yun Chuwei found someone standing outside the gate, she got off the carriage and looked there, it turned out to be Yun Anyao.

"What are you doing here?" Yun Chu frowned slightly.

"Sister Wei." Yun Anyao walked over with a smile, "Isn't it the Chinese New Year, I'm here to give you a New Year's gift."

Yun Chuwei had no good looks on his face, "Go in!"

"Master Guo." Yun Anyao swept Su Yan behind him, and called out politely.

Su Yan was older than him, so it was really hard to say "sister-in-law".

Su Yan smiled, "Did your father ask you to come?"

Yun An Yao was caught in his thoughts and choked, "Yes, my father asked me to come."
