The Queen of Flowers in Space

Chapter 216 Opening the Skylight (2)
"This, this is actually not that Ling Yun insists on making trouble for you cousins, but brother, I have settled down now, and I happen to have free time. At the end of the year, I will be busy with the company's relocation to the mainland, and I may not have time... "

Seeing the old man staring at him, Qiu Lingfeng felt a little uncomfortable. He twitched the corners of his mouth and explained with a smile.

"That's right, eldest cousin, the head of our family is only free during this time, and he really won't be free at the end of the year!" After Qiu Lingfeng's voice fell, Aunt Qitang interrupted with a smile.

And the few old men on the opposite side almost pulled their faces down instantly.

"Seventh brother and sister... This is an important matter of the ancestral temple, and there is no reason for women to intervene." The second old man also spoke at this time. He is Qiu Lingfeng's second cousin and a child of the old man Qiu's younger brother's family. He is a direct descendant of the family. relatives.

"I..." Aunt Qitang's round face flushed instantly, and she wanted to refute, but Qiu Lingyun grabbed her sleeves and scolded, "Shut up!"

Aunt Qitang, who was not very convinced at first, was reprimanded by Qiu Lingyun, so she had no choice but to calm down and shut her mouth unwillingly. She only had an old face, mixed with blue and white, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it. She was probably agitated.

"I'm sorry second cousin, I didn't teach her the rules of the Qiu family well. It's my fault, she won't interrupt anymore."

Nodding noncommittally, the second cousin leaned back on the chair, picked up the tea cup and drank slowly.

The atmosphere was sombre, Qiu Lingfeng looked at his cousins ​​who looked indisputable, and then looked at his own eldest brother who was seated at the bottom, feeling a little embarrassed to get off the stage.

At this time, Old Master Qiu sat up straight and said slowly, "Old Qi's family, you take the two nephews, granddaughters-in-law and children out first."

"Uncle, what?" Aunt Qitang was startled when she heard the words, and then her face became even more ugly. "As a member of the Qiu family, is there anything we can't listen to?"

"A matter related to the Qiu family's clan, it is not something that a woman of the first class can participate in!" The old man said in a gentle tone, but everyone could feel his displeasure.

"Uncle, don't be as knowledgeable as her." Qiu Lingyun hurriedly smoothed things over, apologizing and winking at Aunt Qitang.

"Mom, you go out first, don't make trouble!"

"..." Aunt Qitang was persuaded in a low voice by her younger son, and seeing the gloomy look in Qiu Lingyun's eyes, she walked straight out the door with a straight face.Seeing this, the two daughters-in-law also followed out embarrassingly.

With the loss of three women and two or three children, the space in the hall seemed to become wider in an instant.At the same time, the atmosphere is more serious.

The old man glanced at the father and son, who were somewhat displeased, and didn't care. He just drank tea by himself, and after a while, he opened his mouth.

"Old Qi, the ancestral hall is the most important place in my Qiu family. You know it from the beginning. The family rules stipulate that it can only be opened at the end of the year. The rest of the time, it is not necessary. If you can open it less, you should open it less. You know Why is this?"

"Please teach me, uncle." Qiu Lingyun was taken aback when he heard the words, bowed his head and said humbly.

"This ancestral hall has existed since the second generation of the Qiu family. Afterwards, it was expanded and repaired, and finally became the scale it is now. The courtyard of our family is also built around the ancestral hall. The purpose is to better protect the ancestral hall. "

"The lineage of the Patriarch must live in this courtyard, in order to protect it. No one can imagine its importance to the Qiu family. Now, tell me honestly, the purpose of your wanting to enter the ancestral hall , what is it?"

As he spoke, the old man's eyes became sharp, staring at Qiu Lingfeng's heart, quite disturbed.

"What, what do you say? Uncle, I really want to go to worship. If you don't want to open the ancestral hall, then forget it. At the end of the year, I will find time to participate with everyone."

"Sincerely? I think you are uneasy and kind! If you are sincere, you will not make your father fall down in anger, sick and bedridden; and you will not come back to express condolences when the old man passes away! To your biological father, Can you still be so cruel, how can you be sincere towards those ancestors who have never met before? What a joke!"

The old man with a straight face put down his teacup with a bang, looked directly at Qiu Lingyun with dark eyes, and sarcastically said.

"Brother, you think of my younger brother too indifferently! Yes, my father's illness was indeed the cause of me, and now I know that I was wrong. At that time, I should not have thought of going abroad and quarreled with him resentfully. But I didn't come back to express my condolences. Father, it's because I never heard the news of my father's death! Can you blame me?"

Qiu Lingfeng frowned, and stated with a sad and helpless expression.

"Hmph! At this time, you are still full of lies! I called your landlord personally and asked him to notify you. I asked again the next day, and he said that when you heard the news, you didn't respond at all. I asked if I found the wrong person! I was afraid that the landlord would fool me, so I wrote a special letter and sent it to you. Later, you still didn’t respond, so I asked my old classmate in the United States to go to you directly! I happened to see you moving out of your residence in a hurry and driving away in a car!"

The old man stared fiercely at Qiu Lingyun with a pair of eyes, his face livid, "Don't tell me, the landlord didn't notify you, or you didn't receive the letter. My friend picked it up where your car left, promise, Want to see it?"

He took out a yellowed envelope from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a piece of old, torn letter paper.Throwing the things in front of Qiu Lingyun, the old man looked distressed.

"Also, even if you didn't know it at the time, I don't believe you haven't heard anything about it for so many years. I remember that ten years ago, Zhixun, the old man, met you in the United States! Also, this time It's been so long since you've been back, but you didn't even think about going to your father's cemetery... What should I say for a person like you?"

Shaking his head, the old man closed his eyes tiredly, and stopped looking at Qiu Lingyun and his two sons.

"Fourth, what you said is true? What about the phone call and the letter?" The remaining three old men all looked at each other in astonishment. There is such a thing.

The old man opened his eyes and glanced at his cousins, then nodded weakly to express his affirmation.

"Ha, this is really, really..." The boss smiled sarcastically, and looked at Qiu Lingyun even more unkindly, "The Qiu family has never had such an unfaithful, unfilial, and ungrateful descendant like you!"

"Is that enough? Boss, you and I are in the same branch. I'm disloyal and unfilial. Do you think you're okay?" Qiu Lingfeng raised his head and said with a somber face. I received the notification at that time, but since I was 12 years old, the old man who has scolded me every day and hindered me every day, why should I come back to mourn him? If it wasn't for him, Xinrui wouldn't die; if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't Going abroad with all your heart. Then you suffered so much suffering. All of this was caused by the good father in your heart! You said, can I not blame him and hate him? When I heard that he died, I felt very happy It’s gone. It’s not so comfortable anymore, it’s like a dark cloud that has been hovering above your head, and it finally dispersed!”
