Chapter 127: Summoning souls and exorcising ghosts, Im familiar with this!
On the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, red lanterns were hung high. The Qin family's old house was so lively and festive for the first time in more than ten years. Even Li Dagui and the others lamented that although there were more people, this bustling energy seemed to be the reason for the popularity. It was too quiet before.
Already.
They also hang lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a festival that only has Qin Liuxi as his master, but they don't do fancy lantern riddles. If Qin Liuxi isn't around, they won't even light more lanterns. But now, they are everywhere
Red lanterns are hung, creating a festive atmosphere.
In Mrs. Qin's courtyard, there are even lantern riddles hanging on the low treetops, waiting for people to guess, and the sound of laughter and fun can be heard from time to time.
When Qin Liuxi led Qihuang there, he looked at the red flowers in the garden and listened to the laughter. He was a little confused for a moment. When he walked into the house, he felt even more out of place.
"Sister." Qin Mingbao had sharp eyes and rushed towards her when he saw her.
Qin Mingchun saw her quickly hugging Qin Liuxi's legs, and immediately felt a sense of crisis. Her thick golden thighs seemed to have been robbed.
This is impossible!
He also walked over quickly and bowed to Qin Liuxi with both hands: "Hello, big sister."
"Um."
Everyone looked at it, somewhat confused.
The ordinary people, even more uncomfortable and unwilling, all stood up.
I had no choice but to be taught the rules by someone this morning!
Qin Liuxi took Qin Mingbao's hand and walked to Mrs. Qin's side. After bowing respectfully, she saluted Wang and others.
"If third aunt feels cold, put on an extra cloak." Qin Liuxi looked at Gu and reminded.
Mrs. Gu has not yet given birth, but today is the Autumn Festival. She also asked Qin Liuxi if he could be discharged from the hospital, so she came with her child. Now that she heard Qin Liuxi's concern, she smiled gently: "There are many people in the room.
, it’s also warm and not cold.”
Qin Liuxi nodded.
Mrs. Xie glanced at Mrs. Gu's face, which looked rosier than her own. She knew that although she had suffered during this pregnancy, she had not missed a lot of nourishment during the whole month.
Even if the speed is not as good as before the house was raided, it is not much worse, at least the food supplements are not lacking.
For this reason, she felt so sad in her heart. Now she saw that Qin Liuxi was even more gentle and gentle to her, but he was like a hedgehog to himself, very unfavorable to one!
Mrs. Xie looked at Mrs. Gu and said sourly, "The third younger brother and sister are more respectable. Xi Yatou respects and cares for you more than anyone else."
Mrs. Gu had already learned something from her daughter's microphone. She smiled when she heard this and said, "Second sister-in-law is joking. Xi'er is sensible and treats everyone very well."
"That's not necessarily true. To me, the second aunt, I am just like a stranger. Even these little ones are not as pampered as Bao'er." Xie said in a strange tone.
Qin Liuxi said: "That's what the second aunt said. People are connected with each other. Maybe the second aunt and I don't have any fate. Otherwise, why would you fall down even if you rarely go to my yard? Alas, we have a shallow relationship with the second aunt.
It's a pity that we can't get close to him."
Xie: "..."
It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.
Just as she was about to say a few words, Qin Liuxi looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, everyone is gone, why don't we just start the banquet?"
Mrs. Qin didn't want to look at them, so she nodded.
Mrs. Wang asked Xiaoxue to pass the dishes, and the people in the room were divided into two tables. Old Mrs. Qin and several daughters-in-law and aunts sat at one table, and asked Qin Mingqi to sit at the same table.
If it were done before the house was confiscated, how could my aunt have the right to sit down and have dinner with the old lady and my wife? It would be a great blessing to have the opportunity to serve at the table. In a family that really respects the rules, my aunt would not even let her stay in the same place to celebrate the festival.
The men of the Qin family were all exiled. The eldest brother had one wife and one concubine, and the third house had no concubines. The second house originally had one wife, two concubines, and a common house, but the only one who had children was Aunt Pan, who gave birth to the eldest son of the concubine. The rest had no children. Thank you.
When the family was confiscating their homes, they wrote letters of release or deeds of return.
So now, the aunts of the Qin family are coming back, namely the eldest daughter, Wan Yiniang, and the second daughter, Aunt Pan, both of whom have given birth to sons.
Qin Mingqi was the legitimate son of his second wife, and he was given the privilege of sitting with the old lady. He looked at Qin Liuxi with an arrogant expression.
Qin Liuxi glanced over, his eyes half-squinted, provoking her?
Her eyes were cold, directed towards Qin Mingqi, who slowly lowered his head under her glare.
Mrs. Wang waved to Qin Mingchun and said, "Chun'er, you are still young, so come and sit."
Mrs. Qin moved her fingertips, glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law, and said, "Chun'er, come here too."
Qin Mingchun saw Qin Mingbao sitting next to Qin Liuxi, like a little door god, and thought that his thigh could not be taken away, so he stood up and said, "I want to sit with the eldest sister."
As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Liuxi carefully and asked weakly: "Is that okay?"
Qin Liuxi looked into his dark eyes, filled with care and expectation, and said, "You can sit wherever you want. You're five years old, so you can't make the decision at all?"
"Grandma, mother, I'll sit here." Qin Mingchun sat next to Qin Liuxi.
Wang's lips twitched into a smile: "It's up to you."
Qin Mingqi saw that their table was full of juniors, and he was the only one sitting at the old lady's table, which was also full of female relatives, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Should he also go back to the junior table?
But the dishes were served.
Qin Liuxi had never spent the holidays with the whole family. She originally thought that according to the so-called rules of the Qin family, she would eat and sleep without speaking, but was she overthinking it?
When the food and drinks were served, the old lady moved her chopsticks when she saw Qin Mingqi holding a wine glass filled with fruit wine, standing up and toasting to the old lady Qin, uttering a series of auspicious words and even composing a poem on the spot.
It drew constant applause from the audience.
Ms. Xie was so proud that she held her head high and her chest looked proud, if she didn't reveal her two big nostrils that could insert onions.
After Qin Mingqi composed the poem, before it was finished, Qin Liuxi's table, Qin Mingyue and other girls also brought fruit wine or fruit juice to toast to Mrs. Qin, said pleasant words, and also composed poems.
Qin Mingchun and Qin Mingyue were two young people who could not compose poems, so they memorized them honestly.
"Sister, why don't you compose an impromptu poem?" Qin Mingyue looked at Qin Liuxi with a smile.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone looked over.
Dear Caiyiyu, you are the only one left!
Qin Liuxi, who had just eaten a piece of sweet and sour short ribs: "!"
So, this is the correct way to show filial piety to the younger generation in a big family?
Qin Mingyue saw that Qin Liuxi was not moving, and she suddenly felt gloating. This eldest sister had never formally invited a husband. How could she write lyrics and poems?
"Sister, can't you?" Qin Mingxin looked like he was watching a good show.
"Mingyue, please don't embarrass my cousin." Song Yuqing advised softly, "I'm afraid cousin Liu Xi won't like this."
Qin Liuxi put down his chopsticks, took a handkerchief and pressed it to the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "I'm really not good at writing lyrics and poetry for such a popular interest. I am good at some niche things, such as singing spells to summon spirits and drive away ghosts. This
I'm familiar with it, do you sisters want to see it?"
Everyone: "?"
What, summoning souls and exorcising ghosts? Are they the kind of ghosts they think they are?
Qin Mingyue and others turned pale.
The whole place was silent.
Qin Mingchun, who was sitting next to her, had just picked up a Sixi meatball. His hands shook in fright, and the ball fell down and slid towards his body.
Seeing that the meatball was about to slide down, a pair of chopsticks stretched out from the side, caught the meatball accurately, and then put it firmly into his bowl.
Qin Mingchun opened his mouth wide, looked at the meatballs, and then at the person holding the chopsticks.
Big sister must have practiced it, her movements are so fast, steady and smooth.
Qin Mingyue had a look of admiration on her face. She seemed to have learned another skill of her eldest sister.
"My family is poor, and it's shameful to waste food. It's delicious, and the table is clean." Qin Liuxi nuzzled into his bowl.
Qin Mingchun: "!"
Under Qin Liuxi's "concerning" eyes, he silently picked up the chopsticks and ate.
People at the table: "..."
This was all dropped on the table and actually eaten. It was scary. But what was even scarier was Qin Liuxi.
Hey, no, their focus is on the meatballs. It's Qin Liuxi's words to summon souls and drive away ghosts!
Qin Mingxin was the first to stand up, pouted and said: "Grandma, eldest sister is deliberately scaring us."
Old Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Liuxi, who smiled and said: "Grandma, I am wronged. You also know that I am a member of Taoism. I grew up in a Taoist temple. It is not surprising that I do this."
Mrs. Wang saw that Mrs. Qin's face turned dark, so she smoothed things over and said angrily: "That can't scare anyone. Don't say that your sisters are timid. Even adults like us are scared."
Who is not afraid of ghosts?
"Okay then!" Qin Liuxi said with a look of regret, "I really want you to see it, I'm really familiar with this!"
I know you are familiar with it, but there is no need to show this skill!
During Qin Liuxi's life, no one dared to ask her to compose any more poems. What if she was so stimulated that she sang a spell on the spot?
Although she is most likely bluffing, she is not afraid of 10,000, but is most afraid of the worst. It is better to believe that ghosts and gods exist than to believe that they do not exist!
In this way, everyone was at peace, eating and drinking when it was time to eat, and when it was over, they went outside to guess lantern riddles.
Old Mrs. Qin originally had a smile on her face when she saw the younger generation making trouble, but as she looked at it, her expression darkened again and there were tears in her eyes.
"Old lady, what's wrong with you?" Nanny Ding noticed her expression and couldn't help but handed over the handkerchief.
Several daughters-in-law also looked over with concern on their faces.
"Even when I think of the old lady and the others, I don't know if they can go to the inn and get food. Will they be able to eat mooncakes during the Autumn Festival today?" Old Mrs. Qin choked with sobs: "I just miss them."
Everyone's smiles faded slightly and they fell silent.
Qin Liuxi's ears were sharp. After hearing this, he looked up at the sky again: "Someone is setting off sky lanterns, let's do it too."
Everyone was interrupted by her and looked up. Sure enough, there was a white sky lantern swaying upward.
Qin Liuxi had already taken the pen and ink from Qi Huang, unfolded the sky lantern directly on the ground, and began to draw runes.
"Sister, are you drawing a talisman again?" Qin Mingyue squatted beside her and looked at her.
Not to be outdone, Qin Mingchun also squatted down and stared with wide eyes. Is this the talisman? It looked like a mess, and it looked like a ghost drawing a talisman.
"This is a prayer." Qin Liuxi drew a few runes and wrote a few words, "It's safe and smooth," and signed the word "Qin".
Mrs. Wang supported Mrs. Qin and came over to take a look and said, "It's really well written."
Mrs. Qin also felt comforted when she looked at those words and runes.
Qin Liuxi unfolded the sky lantern, laid it flat, lit the fire, and held it gently with both hands. He felt that there was enough air in the sky lantern before letting go.
Sky lanterns slowly rise into the sky, carrying prayers and hopes.
