The moment the two people's eyes intersected in the air, I wondered if it was my illusion, but I felt his broad shoulders twitch slightly.

And I immediately lowered my head.

Everyone around was standing solemnly. On such occasions, there was no cough or gasp. Everyone was quiet. Only the wind blew across the tall sycamore tree beside the ancestral hall. A rustling sound came, and several yellowed leaves slowly fell from above.

Time passes by little by little.

All of us stood outside the ancestral hall, watching the sun rise little by little, and the sun shines on us without any obscurity. Under the heavy dress, everyone was sweating profusely.

However, no one moved.

Everyone stood motionless.

I don’t know how long it took, the sun became more and more intense, and I was slightly dizzy. Finally, I heard a very light sound of bells coming from the ancestral hall.

Immediately, my brain, which was a little stiff after standing for too long, started to move. Although I couldn't see what was going on inside, according to the procedure of worshiping my ancestors, I had already made a first offer, so I naturally had to kowtow to my ancestors.

So Xue Qian, who was standing in the forefront, straightened her back and slowly knelt down.

All of us knelt down with her, knelt respectfully on the ground and kowtowed, and then stood up.

After a while, a second sound of bells came.

Everyone knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the ancestral hall.

When the third ceremony was over, I heard some people behind me breathe a sigh of relief. Although no one spoke, the atmosphere suddenly changed from solemnity and tranquility just now to tense and weird.

Just as I was about to get up, the injury on my ankle finally reminded me of its existence again. A stinging pain came, and I took a breath of air conditioning and almost fell down. Fortunately, Yan Ruoyu beside me was quick-eyed and his hands were almost holding me.

"Cousin, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

I smiled at her and forced her arm to stand up straight. Xue Qian slowly stood up from the ground. A maid next to her wanted to come and help her, but she waved her coldly. She looked back at me and said indifferently: "Look at your sick look, there is nothing you have to do here, go back."

I smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Of course, she didn't expect to drive me away in just one sentence, but when she heard me say this, her face looked even worse. She snorted coldly and turned around.

There was still no movement in the ancestral hall. Although I knew there was a set of complicated etiquette inside to continue, there was nothing to do for the women who were accompanying the sacrifice outside. Everyone was still standing in their original position, waiting with respectfully hanging their hands.

And I turned my head accidentally and saw Pei Yuanxiu, who was standing in the crowd just now, was already standing in front of the crowd.

He was looking at me.

I turned around and avoided his eyes and continued to look at the ancestral temple in front of me.

Finally, there was a little movement inside.

Several servants ran out quickly, and then the young men like Yan Zicong and others came out. When they walked out and stood on both sides of the steps, Yan Gang walked out of the gate.

He was wearing a very solemn dress with wide robe and big sleeves. He looked very majestic when he walked out. When he also walked out, the last one came out was naturally Yan Qingchen.

My breathing tensed slightly.

The two servants helped him slowly walked out of the inside. Only then did I see that he was still very weak. The priests inside took such a long time, probably all relying on the support of others. As soon as they came out, someone next to him immediately pushed his wheelchair and put him on.

He sat there softly, pale and cold sweating.

Seeing him like this, I felt so distressed, but I couldn't reveal anything. Until those people slowly lifted him down, and Yan Gang and the others walked down, I hurried over and held the armrest of his wheelchair and asked in a low voice: "Qingchen, are you okay?"

He raised his face and forced a smile at me: "Don't worry, sister, I'm fine."

Although he said that, his expression and breath were not "not bad" at all.

I was worried, and I saw Yan Gang walking to Pei Yuanxiu on the corner of my eyes. The two of them lowered their heads and said a few words, while Xue Qian stood aside and looked at us. Her eyes could not be completely cold, but her motionless look was enough to make people feel heartbroken.

At this time, the sacrifice has ended.

However, no one left.

In the huge courtyard, more and more people gathered here. There was no solemn and quiet just now. At this moment, it seemed a little noisy. Xue Qian and Yan Gang looked at each other, and both of them nodded. Xue Qian raised their hand and waved them. Immediately, a group of people ran hurriedly, moved more than a dozen chairs from behind the crowd, placed them in the courtyard, and formed a large circle.

She said, "I won't talk anymore. Everyone knows that our Yan family has important matters to discuss today. Don't be simpler, please sit down."

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but didn't say anything. They walked over slowly and sat down.

Only Yan Qingchen, because he was in a wheelchair, did not arrange a chair for him, and a servant pushed him to the position of the master directly in front of him.

After everyone sat down, several servants ran to the side and pulled up the wooden pillars placed horizontally on the ground. Suddenly, more than a dozen pillars stood up and were inserted into the round holes prepared in advance on the ground. Then a group of maids walked up with snow-white gauze and put the white gauze on the hemp ropes connecting the wooden pillars.

I heard a few whistles, and the white veil gathered above our heads like clouds. After a while, a large "house" was built on the yard. The wind blew slightly as the white veil was blowing. We sat inside without being illuminated by the sun, and we could feel the coolness of the wind.

Even I couldn't help but praise their intentions. It's a pity that in order to show respect for their ancestors during the sacrifice, I couldn't greedy for enjoyment, but now this is indeed the best arrangement.

After everyone named Yan sat down, Mr. Ma was slowly supported by someone to walk in. Although he was respectful and was a person next to his great-grandfather, he was a servant after all, so he sat behind us.

I looked back and he nodded softly at me.

At this time, Xue Qian stood up.

She got together and my breathing was raised.

She slowly walked to the center with a dragon stick in her hand and said loudly: "You should know that this time I called you to Gantang Village not only to worship ancestors, but also to be a major event that concerns our Yan family and even Xichuan's future."

Everyone looked at her.

She glanced for a week and continued, "However, although I am the mistress of the Yan family, I cannot do my own thing, so I specially invited my fifth uncle and you guys to discuss major events. I hope everyone can work together to fulfill the Yan family's unfulfilled wishes for many years."

Yan Gang sat in his position and said slowly: "Since they are all from the Yan family, they should naturally work together. If you have any questions, just tell me."

"Okay," Xue Qian said directly without even looking at us: "Everyone should know that the Pei family is injustice, and the world is in chaos, life is in trouble, and the people are in trouble. The Yan family wanted to overthrow this injustice court many years ago, but they had no chance, but now there is an excellent opportunity to fulfill our long-cherished wishes for many years!"

Everyone looked at each other, and someone asked carefully: "What's the opportunity?"

Xue Qian immediately said: "Everyone should know that wars have begun in the Central Plains. The Lin clan of Yunzhong and Yuan clan of Runan have all risen one after another, and the rebels from all over the country have responded. I think this is a great opportunity! We, Xichuan, should not be out of the matter, and should take this opportunity to join the war and overthrow the current court in one fell swoop!"

I saw that her neck was a little red, and the more I talked, the faster I could speak.

When she finished speaking, everyone seemed to be unable to react and didn't speak there.

After a while, I heard a soft voice: "But what are the benefits of this kind of thing to our Yan family?"

Of course this sound is not unfamiliar.

It's Yan Ruoyu.

I didn't expect that the first one would be her, but she was really not eye-catching when sitting in a corner, so after she opened her mouth, the people around her reacted before turning their heads to look at her.

Xue Qian hadn't reacted anyway, and Yan Gang and Yan Zicong, who were sitting in front of him, had already frowned.

Yan Ruoyu smiled and said, "What my aunt just said makes sense. But Ruoyu is a little dull. I can't figure it out. If the Yan family really wants to participate in external wars, they will naturally have to pay - spend money, send troops, and work. In the end, will we get any benefits?"

Xue Qian was stunned.

Obviously, as the eldest wife of the Yan family, she was pampered and had never gone out to really talk about business and accomplish something, so she had no idea of ​​profit in her consciousness, because she was passionate just now, but Yan Ruoyu asked her as soon as she opened her mouth.

Just when she was stunned and couldn't speak for a moment, a low and thick voice angrily shouted: "Elder hasn't spoken yet, so how can you speak!"

When I looked up, it was Yan Gang.

His eyebrows stood up and he glared at Yan Ruoyu angrily.

Yan Ruoyu was obviously a little afraid of him, so he immediately lowered his head when he was stared at him, and he was nodding and did not dare to speak. Yan Zicong, who was sitting next to Yan Gang, immediately snorted coldly: "Woman, long hair, short knowledge, what do you know? Listen carefully and talk less!"
