Medical Brocade

Chapter 87
After Lan Linglong and Qu Ruowen saluted the old lady and Qu Fengquan, they turned to the right.

On the seat on the right, sat a middle-aged man, somewhat similar to Qu Fengquan, Qu Fengchun, Qu Fengquan's half-brother, and the old lady's own son, and beside him sat a woman. She is Qu Fengchun's wife, Du Qiao, and Hu Bi's cousin, but Du Qiao is not as arrogant and indulgent as Hu Bi, which may be because of her concubines.

The old lady was originally a concubine, and she entered the Qu family's family entirely to take care of Qu Fengquan, who was still young due to his mother's early death.

The old lady was originally a partial house, but before she was rectified, the old lady was no different from the mistress of the Qu family. As long as the old lady has a successor, she will concentrate on expanding the business of the Qu family. There is only one room in the family, and all the affairs of the house are left to the old man. Therefore, even if Qu Fengchun is a concubine, his status is not low, and the old lady can't rush to Qu Fengchun's marriage. My cousin told Qu Fengchun.

The old lady was satisfied, and said a few good words to Hu Bi in front of Qu Fengquan. Qu Fengquan was brought up by the old lady since he was a child, and the old lady treated him like her own son, so she treated Hu Bi well for a while.

Beside Du Qiao, sat a young man, about 13 years old, rather jerky, a little shy, he was Qu Fengchun's son Qu Huanxin.

After Qu Fengchun married his wife, he still lived in the Qu family. For unknown reasons, he moved out of the Qu family, but Qu Fengquan kept the courtyard where Qu Fengchun lived before because of his brotherhood. , is still in the Qujia drug store, but not in the capital, but in the south of Qi State to take care of the medicinal materials business. The two brothers often meet each other on weekdays, but the old lady usually does not see them.

Qu Fengchun brought his wife and children here today, and the old lady really laughed. After all, her son is the closest. So little blood relationship.

"Second brother, second younger sibling." Lan Linglong said gently.

"Third sister-in-law." Qu Fengchun and Du Qiao were polite, and stood up to return the salute. Even Qu Huanxin also stood up and called out to the third aunt. Perhaps it was because they were all concubines or partial houses, so they felt kind. Some.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt." Qu Ruo asked Lan Linglong if she didn't need to signal anything, she had already called out.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lan Linglong and Qu Ruowen walked to the last seats and took their seats. At this moment, everyone in the Qu family finally arrived.

"Second brother, when you come back this time, you need to spend more time with your mother, she has been thinking about you." Qu Fengquan spoke the usual words, but his expression was serious and impersonal, as if he was doing business, insisting Ask Qu Fengchun to accompany him.

"I will, but there are three sister-in-laws and Huanxiang and the four accompanying mother, I don't think mother will feel bored." Compared with Qu Fengquan, Qu Fengchun is a little more tactful, articulate laugh.

"Where is the second uncle, no matter how close we are, we can't compare with your own son, can we?" Hu Bi laughed.

After hearing this, the old lady was still a little displeased even though she was said to be the center of the matter, especially she didn't want her previous identity to be brought up as an issue, and Qu Fengchun's original identity as a concubine was also included.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became a lot more awkward, Qu Fengquan gave Hu Bi a stern look, and Hu Bi was slightly annoyed.

This time, Qin Xiangyue didn't add insult to injury, nor did she help to break the siege and try to persuade her to make peace. She just sat on the side and played with her hair coolly, watching from the sidelines, which was a bit unlike her usual style.

"Master, the time has come. The elders of the clan have also come, and the things have been prepared. The ancestor worship ceremony can begin." At this time, Liu Heshan came over, reported to Qu Fengquan, and asked Qu Fengquan. The meaning of every right.

"Alright." Qu Fengquan was worried about how to resolve it, and Liu Heshan just got out of the siege. He stood up, glanced at Hu Bi coldly, and then took the lead towards the door.

It is a custom to worship ancestors on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. It expresses respect and gratitude to the deceased ancestors, and the second is to pray to the ancestors to bless the family business in the new year.

Qu Huanxiang took a step ahead, and with the support of Qu Fengchun, the old lady walked to the ancestral hall with a large family, as if the unpleasant matter was resolved just like that.

Inside the ancestral hall, there are tributes needed for ancestor worship. There have been a few gray-bearded old people, who are not much different from the old lady's age. These are the old lady's siblings. When there is a big event, I will come back to host.

The ancestor worship ceremony is not complicated. It just kneels down and offers incense to the memorial tablets placed in the ancestral hall in turn. It's just that there are more people and the waiting time is longer.

As for the names on these tablets, Qu Ruowen didn't know any of them, but the only thing that was certain was that it was an honor for the Qu family to be able to burn incense on these tablets. The higher the status of the family.

Lan Linglong and Qu Ruowen were naturally ranked behind Qin Xiangyue and Qu Ruoting, and they were relatively far behind. The two knelt on the futon, twisted incense sticks in their hands, and kowtowed three times solidly, which was regarded as a blessing. The ancestors worshiped.

After worshiping the ancestors, the elders of several clans did not leave, but went in the direction of the main hall. Perhaps there was still something to do, and it happened every year.

The old lady was getting old, Qu Fengquan asked Hu Bi, Qin Xiangyue, and Lan Linglong to send the old lady back to the Buddhist hall to talk first, and Qu Fengchun also asked Du Qiao and Qu Huanxin to go with her The old lady talked.

"Xiang'er, Wen'er, the two of you will come with me to the main hall." Qu Ruowen was going to accompany Lan Linglong to send the old lady back to the Buddhist hall, but unexpectedly she was called by name, and Qu Huanxiang went to the main hall as well. Forget it, she really couldn't figure out why she was going to join in the fun with a woman.

Sure enough, not only she couldn't figure it out, but even Hu Bi and the others who were going to leave couldn't figure it out.

However, Qu Fengquan didn't explain anything, and turned around to accompany the elders to the main hall. Qu Ruowen was in a daze for a while, and followed Qu Huanxiang's gesture with his head down, as if he had made a mistake and was going to be punished.

Chun Shao and Rong Che were waiting outside the ancestral hall, there were many servant girls and servants waiting outside, when they saw Qu Ruowen came out, they looked at each other, Rong Che walked up a few steps.

Qu Ruowen caught a glimpse of Rong Che's tall figure and shook his head slightly, implying that there is no need to follow.

Qu Huanxiang deliberately slowed down his pace, taking a few steps away from Qu Fengquan, and Qu Ruowen also deliberately slowed down his pace, moving like a snail, keeping a distance from Qu Huanxiang.

There was no movement for a long time, Qu Huanxiang hesitated, turned his head, Qu Ruowen looked afraid of him, and fell far behind.

Qu Huanxiang was extremely angry, but he was only a few steps ahead to the main hall, so he couldn't delay Qu Fengquan's business, so he had to give up. Qu Ruowen was so sure that he dared to deal with it slowly.
