1762 Hasty Ritual

 "Shh~ don't talk!"

When the girl from the Chu family heard Xun'er's voice, she frowned slightly and made a silencing gesture towards her.

"I'm not allowed to speak. I wasn't allowed to speak just now at the ancestral hall. Now that I'm back, I'm still not allowed to leave!"

Seeing Sister Chu's appearance, Xun'er couldn't help frowning, pouting her little mouth, and muttering in a low voice.

As a result, as expected, she was glared at by Miss Chu again, and she closed her mouth angrily, but her dark eyes were still restlessly moving around the people around her, as if she was not aware of everything around her.

They all feel very novel.

Just as Xun'er was looking around curiously, Feng An had already arrived at the front door of Feng's house.

Under the gaze of everyone around him, Feng Ang respectfully placed the spiritual tablet he had brought from the ancestral hall on the largest altar table facing the door.

Then, he lowered his hands and took two steps back. After Hu Guanshi gave a long "obeisance", he knelt down and solemnly paid homage to the spiritual throne.

Seeing Feng Ang prostrating himself on the ground, other people on the street also prostrated themselves one after another, as if they had made a unified decision.

In an instant, the streets that were still crowded just now became shorter, just like the wheat fields swept by the harvester.

Xiao Han, who was among the poor people, was still watching the excitement, but unexpectedly everyone around him bowed down, leaving him and Ren Qing alone.

"Huh?"

The figures of Xiao Han and others stood out among the guests like chickens. This strange scene immediately attracted Xun'er's attention. A pair of strange big eyes looked straight at this place with curiosity.

However, Xiao Han's face has been painted black for a long time, and there is a mustache under his nose, so even if Xun'er is sharp-eyed, he just thinks that this person's face is quite familiar, but he doesn't recognize it on the spot.

He recognized it.

"Brother, stop being stuck! Come down quickly, even if you are squatting!"

Similarly, behind Xiao Han, Boss Chen looked at the few people standing upright like flag poles and almost lost his breath. If he hadn't been afraid that they would be angry and not give him the antidote, Boss Chen would have really lost his temper at this time.

I wanted to jump up and kick him to the ground.

"okay!"

Xiao Han also saw Xun'er at this time and was feeling guilty. When he heard Boss Chen's voice behind him, he quickly knelt on one knee and at the same time, he did not forget to pull down Ren Qing and the guards beside him.

Xiao Han may still have some grudges when kneeling down to worship others, but he does not feel any psychological burden when kneeling down to Mrs.

He didn't have to be exposed to that little girl's sight. Being stared at by her made Xiao Han feel uncomfortable.

On the long street, the strange behavior of Xiao Han and others was just a small episode during the ceremony. Except for a few people such as Xun'er who noticed this, most of the others were immersed in the solemn and sad atmosphere of the ceremony and never noticed it at all.

Something strange here.

In front, Feng Ang knelt down to worship, offered incense, and recited the inscriptions.

Xiao Han was dazzled by going through a set of procedures, and the half-kneeling posture was more strenuous than other postures, so soon, Xiao Han's body was shaking like chaff.

"I'll go! I would have sat down if I had known!"

Supporting the ground with two palms, Xiao Han took advantage of the people around him not paying attention and slowly changed his legs to squat. Just when he was thinking about whether to sit on the ground directly, the people around him started to get up one after another.

"How can you get up again?!" Looking at the people around him who had grown taller in an instant, Xiao Han cursed inwardly with a grimace on his face, then grabbed the clothes of someone beside him and stood up staggeringly again.

"Who is taking off my pants!"

As Xiao Han stood up, there were screams of panic around him, causing a small commotion around him. However, Xiao Han, who stood up straight, had already retracted his hand, with an innocent expression on his face.

Like a saint.

————————

Apart from this small commotion, the next step is nothing more than Feng Ang thanking the surrounding guests and people, then saying some words of blessing from Mrs. Xian, and finally announcing the start of the banquet.

After hearing the last sentence, the corner of Xiao Han's mouth twitched a few times. He thought that such a grand memorial ceremony would be so different, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still couldn't escape the word "eating". It can be seen that no matter what era,

Where to eat this thing has long been engraved in the bones of the Chinese people.

Setting up a table on the long street!

The original offering tables on the roadside were not wasted. After the tributes were removed, they became dining tables.

Looking at the long street that turned from solemn to bustling in an instant, especially when he saw a young man secretly taking a bite of the removed pig head and ears while others were not paying attention, Xiao Han felt everything in front of him.

, it’s really incredible.

"Is this the end?" Taking a deep breath, Xiao Han looked a little confused and murmured: "Why do you feel so sloppy!"

"Reckless, where is the rashness?" Behind him, Boss Chen, who had witnessed everything just now, was afraid that the young master would do something wrong again, so he hurriedly came over and lowered his voice and said: "When Mrs. Xian passed away, she once ordered not to build a temple.

When building a mausoleum, we don’t hold grand memorial ceremonies! So the Feng family has always only used family sacrifices to hold memorial ceremonies. How can it be considered careless?"

"Uh, family sacrifice? You call this a family sacrifice?"

It's okay not to listen to this. Once he heard this and looked at the countless people on the long street, Xiao Han couldn't connect this with the family sacrifice!

Whose family ceremony can make so many people come all the way to participate, could it be the country?

"Ahem, it's indeed a family sacrifice!" Seeing that Xiao Han didn't believe it, Mr. Chen coughed slightly and continued to speak in his ear: "At least the process is exactly the same, at most there are just a few more people coming. But the people outside, and

We guests all came spontaneously! Now that everyone is here, the Feng family can’t kick us out, right?”

"Okay, that's right..."

Xiao Han grinned and nodded reluctantly, as if what Boss Chen said did make sense.

I am deeply grateful to Mrs.

No longer entangled on this issue, Xiao Han followed the guests and re-entered the Feng Mansion.

Although these people are stewards and shopkeepers, they have paid money and are considered guests! The Feng family can't eat this meal on the street, right?

"Young Master, we will meet Mr. Feng soon. Then you must not do it again..."

Follow the flow of people and return to Feng's house.

Seeing the people in front of him starting to queue up, ready to salute Feng Gong, Boss Chen was about to give Xiao Han some more instructions, but his heart skipped a beat, and his eyes suddenly stared three times wider than a copper bell!

"Who, who is that???"
