Chapter Nineteen: Annual Meeting
Chapter 19: Annual Meeting
Although Luo Yu's vein injury healed, he still accepted Xuanye Yulan. He didn't want to let Luo Xingchen down, as that would only make his father feel guilty, and he also wanted to give his father a surprise in three months.
The whole family sat on the table, and Nalan Fang prepared a table of delicious dishes.
"Son, today I have a good drink with your father. Fang'er, take out the fire spirits I have treasured for many years."
"Okay, even if my father is happy to be his son, he will naturally be with him to the end."
"You, let Yu'er drink when you drink."
Although Nalan Fang said so, he went to the wine cellar to get a jar of old wine.
"Son, this is the wine that my father buried when he married your mother, and I am usually reluctant to drink it."
Luo Xingchen gave Luo Yu a bowl while he was talking, and the wine was filled with fragrance.
Luo Yu drank it softly in one gulp, but it suddenly felt like a ball of fire was taken off from his belly, his face was red with a blushing pain. The wine was as its name suggests.
"What a good wine..."
Luo Yu praised
"Boy, who taught you how to drink this way? It's really a crush on my good wine." Luo Xingchen felt very distressed when he saw Luo Yu like a cow drink.
"I think a real man needs to have a dry mouthful of alcohol."
Luo Yu had to finish his mouth and he was about to reach the second bowl.
"Bah, who said that you think your father's wine is the kind of road goods on the big stall. It is made of the top-grade fire grass of the mortal rank. You just drank at least a thousand taels of silver. You can save me some drinks."
Luo Xingchen saw that Luo Yu was about to drink the second bowl in one gulp and said, "I was like a wealthy slave, and I also had the heroic spirit of spending a lot of money at the auction."
"Stingy"
Luo Yu curled his lips and said
"If Yu'er likes to drink, just let him drink it." Nalan Fang smiled at her husband.
"Didn't you let him drink just now? You just turned to your son..." Luo Xingchen looked like he was wronged.
Later, Luo Xingchen was afraid of drinking and let Luo Yu drink it and learn to dry it. During the two father and son's drinking, the family ate the meal warmly...
Three months later
As the New Year comes, every family in Bailu Town is hung with color, and the inside and outside of the Luo family is also decorated with lights. This year's annual meeting is coming.
Luo Yu sat cross-legged on the cushion in his room and woke up from his cultivation state. After three months, he firmly stabilized his realm at the fourth level of acquired nature.
Get up and walk towards the family
Today is the annual meeting of the Luo family, and all the children of the Luo family will gather. The Luo family will have many activities in the past few days. Luo Yu feels that this world has many similarities with ancient China, but he doesn’t know if there is any connection between these two worlds.
Today is the New Year Festival for the Luo family. All the children of the Luo family will worship the ancestors in the ancestral hall. When the ancestral hall is in, more than 500 clan members of the Luo family gather. Luo Xingchen held the three-pillar soul incense and respectfully bowed to the many tablets in front of him. Luo Xinghe and the eight elders followed closely, and then the Luo family members were the clan members.
The people in the ancestral hall where the tablets can be established are those who have made major offerings to the Luo family before they die and are qualified to accept worship from their descendants.
"My Luo family is based in Bailu Town for 300 years. My ancestors were originally disciples of the Ziyuntian Sect. Later, they went to Bailu Town to have branches and leaves. After the hard work of many ancestors, my current Luo family was found. Now, Luo Xingchen, the seventh-generation head of my Luo family, brought all the disciples of the Luo family to sacrifice spirits to our ancestors, asking our ancestors to protect the prosperity of our Luo family for generations..." Luo Xingchen bowed again after saying that.
"Please ask our ancestors to protect our Luo family's prosperity for generations"
All the disciples of the Luo family also bowed
After the New Year Festival, there was a family banquet, with more than 500 people gathering in Luojia Square. There was another lantern festival in Bailu Town at night.
Such annual meetings are present every year, and Luo Yu has become accustomed to it. Luo Yu is so idle that he is ready to go back, but when he meets Qing'er, he invites him to Bailu Town to watch the lantern festival. Luo Yu agrees to it when he has nothing to do.
"Canised haws, what a sweet candied haws!"
"Come and buy couplets, a good couplet, good luck in the coming year"
"Guess riddles, I guess there will be a prize."
…………
"Young Master, this year's Lantern Festival is very lively, much better than in previous years."
Qing'er looked at the humanitarianism coming and going. The streets were decorated with lights and colorful, and there were endless hawking sounds, and there were many activities.
"Haha, indeed"
Luo Yu hugged his head with both hands and looked lazy.
Qing'er is actually not a member of the Luo family, but his father picked it up from outside. At that time, Qing'er was only three years old, dark and thin, and could not be seen like a girl, but now she has grown into a beautiful girl of fifteen years old. Luo Yu has become his parents' excellent genes, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and can be called handsome. Although there is often a smile on his face, there is a hint of clan that the same person does not have in his eyes. When they walk together, they also have the smell of a golden boy and a jade girl.
"Look, there are riddles there, let's go and have a look." Qing'er pointed to a place where the crowd gathered.
The two walked forward, and many people were guessing riddles
"This riddle is so difficult. What are four feet in the morning, two feet in the afternoon, and three feet in the evening... I can't guess it."
A group of people were shaking their heads there and couldn't guess it.
"What animal has four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and four legs in the evening. Is there such an animal? There are no ferocious beasts, right?" Qing'er frowned slightly, stumped by this problem.
, but Luo Yu smiled faintly.
"Xin'er, look, there is a lantern festival over there, let's go and have a look."
The handsome boy about 13 years old said to Nangong Xiner.
Nangong Xiner's expressionless face but did not refuse
"Young Master, do you know the answer?"
Qing'er looked at Luo Yu's smiling expression and said
"Qing'er wants to think about it yourself." Luo Yu smiled and scraped Qing'er's delicate and small nose.
"I can't think of it"
Looking at Qing'er's cute expression, Luo Yu smiled and said, "The morning, noon, and evening are not necessarily real time, he is just a metaphor."
"Oh, it seems that this young man knows?" said the elderly man selling lanterns.
Everyone around looked at Luo Yu
"Young master knows it and tell me quickly. We have guessed it for a long time."
"Yes, yes, we've been guessing for a long time but can't guess it."
...
"Okay, if I guess correctly, I'm a human being. In the morning, I meant that I couldn't walk when I was a child, but I could only crawl with my hands and feet. At noon, I walked with my legs for two feet after I was an adult. At night, I was old and hoeed my crutches with my hands to make my legs for three feet. Old man, I should be right!" Luo Yu said with a smile.
"Young master is smart, the answer is human"
"So it's human"
"Well, think about it, why didn't I guess it?"
"Young Master, this is a reward for you to guess the riddles"
The old man gave Luo Yu an exquisite wooden doll.
Luo Yu gave it to Qing'er directly
"Hehe, you are so smart"
Qing'er was playing with the wooden doll in her hand and couldn't let go of it.
"Yu Luo?"
Chapter completed!
