Before midnight on May 13th, which was a little after four o'clock, the whole Yuejia City started to boil early. Yue Yu also left the room early, and then changed clothes under the supervision of Mrs. Yue Zhang.
——Like Ran Li and Yue Bingqian, they are all dressed in brand-new moon-white satin clothes. The style is very similar to the ancient clothes of the country in Yue Yu's previous life, but in this era, martial arts are respected. Even for a wealthy family like theirs, the Yue family has cuffs.
It was stabbed to death, and its feet were leather archery boots that were good for fighting.
When he walked out of the door, two carts drawn by four dragon-horned horses were already parked outside. In addition, there were six martial arts masters, also in new clothes, waiting outside.
Just when Yue Yu was wondering if this was a bit too exaggerated, he saw a group of motorcades approaching in a hurry on the other side of the alley. Six more luxurious-looking carriages, followed by ten more
Two first- to second-level martial arts masters riding dragon-blooded horses. The number of armored servants behind them was more than a hundred. And just as they were passing by, the curtains of one of the cars were lifted, and a few faint rays of light were revealed from inside.
A look of contempt and surprise.
Yue Yu was speechless for a moment, thinking that's it. This annual ancestor worship ceremony seems to be more than just for ancestor worship.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Yue Zhang started preparing early a few days ago, even spending such a huge price to purchase this carriage.
——The cart is just that, not worth much money. The problem is the animals that pull the cart. Although the dragon-horned horse is the lowest-class riding beast in Dongsheng Continent, the price of each horse is more than fifty taels.
It is about the price of a level 6 alien soldier. The refined grains required to tame them every year is equivalent to what three men in their prime need for a year.
Compared with the convoy just now, their family is already shabby. There are six hired martial artists, not to mention regular second-level battle beasts like dragon-blood horses, and they don’t even have one to travel with. There are only a few guard servants.
He is thirty, and what he wears is only level three iron armor.
Yue Bingqian snorted and turned her head away, as if she was a little disdainful. But there was a bit of uncontrollable envy in her eyes. But Mrs. Yue Zhang remained calm as before, and carried the sacrifice onto the carriage step by step until everything was ready.
When they were ready, they meandered forward in the direction of the ancestral hall. When their convoy passed through the alley and entered the main street. This time, even Yue Yu did not dare to lift the curtains to see what was going on outside.
When the Yue Family City was built, for safety reasons, almost all the homes of important people in the Yue Family were placed in high places. But now, even though hundreds of years have passed, the monsters under the mountain have disappeared. However, in the area north of the city,
It is still an important place for clans and clans, and ordinary clansmen are not eligible to move in.
——In Yue Yu's era, to put it a little more bluntly, it was the so-called rich area. The people here were either rich or powerful. And looking along the way, the convoys that were picked up,
One is more gorgeous than the other. Their two carriages are strange among them.
It's not that Yue Yu is vain, he just doesn't want to see the strange looks from the people next to him. It's one thing not to care, but he also doesn't want to be scrutinized by such eyes.
The clan ancestral hall is located in the northeast of Yuejia City, occupying almost one-eighth of the city area. The green strip stone square outside it can accommodate more than 100,000 people. By the time Yue Yu and his party arrived, the place was already crowded with people.
.
It was not until here that Yue Yu's views on this ancestor worship ceremony slightly changed.
——This grand ceremony is certainly used by each branch of the Yue family to compare with each other and show off. However, it also plays a role in showing strength to the surrounding forces and intimidating them.
There are more than 1,300 martial arts masters in the Yue family, but at this moment, there are more than 4,000 middle and low-level martial arts masters gathered in this ancestral hall. Most of them are directly or indirectly owned by small families and businessmen affiliated with the Yue family.
According to Yue Yu's knowledge, for such an important memorial ceremony, as long as it is within the Yue family's sphere of influence, it must be on high alert. The intensity of alert and manpower are far higher than usual. In addition, Yue Yu
It is estimated that there should be some hidden martial arts masters in the clan.
Calculated in this way, the strength displayed by the Yue family this time is really huge. It can more than offset the impact of the Yue family's incident at the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago.
However, although this clan ancestral hall occupies a very large area, there are only a few halls built in the center. The only ones who can enter it are Yue Jiayun, Feng, Yu, Lei and some elite children.
But when she arrived here, Yue Bingqian's expression gradually returned to peace. No matter how rich and powerful you are in the Yue Family City and you are not a direct descendant of the Yue Family, you still have to stay outside!
——However, this mood only lasted for a moment. When he entered the ancestral hall, Yue Yu suddenly smiled bitterly. He saw the sacrifices piled in front of him. They were almost all third-level or even fourth-level monsters.
.Looking at my own family, it’s just a second-level upper-level ratchet tiger.
Yue Yu now somewhat admired Yue Zhang's psychological quality. He actually looked as normal and asked his servants to place the cooked ratchet tiger and a bunch of fruit plates, wine, tea and other sacrifices on their exclusive altar table.
superior.
——If it were him, even if he had no intention of comparison, he would still feel extremely impatient in this environment. However, Yue Zhang's family was not weird at all.
After the offerings are placed, the next step is the ranking, which is the order in which the incense will be offered to the ancestors. Naturally, the elderly and the men of the clan are at the front, and then it is the turn of the women and children. This time, Yue Zhang's family is obviously
He didn't intend to fight for anything, so he led the three of them to a place a little to the left in the middle of the hall. As their eldest brother, even though they were a little far away from the position, they could avoid many things.
The disputes avoided some embarrassment. Yue Yu was not surprised by this. He had heard from Ran Li that since his father died in the war, they had basically been like this.
However, although Mrs. Yue Zhang's plan was good, there were many things that she could not avoid if she wanted to. Just when a few people had just stood up, a second-class servant of the ancestral hall, who looked like a man, respectfully led a woman
A man and two teenagers came over and forced themselves in front of them. Seeing this, Mrs. Yue Zhang had no choice but to see that there were already people standing around her, so she had no choice but to pull Yue Yu and the others back a step.
Originally, when things came to this point, it only made people feel a little unhappy. But at this time, the woman who was fighting for the position turned around, with a look of surprise on her face when she met an old friend.
"Ah! It turns out to be Sister Yaoyi! Do you still remember me, little sister?"
Yue Yu glanced sideways and saw that she was a young woman in her thirties. She had a face that could be considered beautiful and had a sense of foxiness. However, her dress was a little tacky.
——This is not because Yue Yu is feeling sour in his heart, but this is the fact. The woman is wearing gold and silver, and the jewelry in her hair alone weighs about two or three kilograms. But the craftsmanship of the carving and inlaying is extremely impressive.
Well, Yue Yu estimates that the price of this set of small items alone is enough for him to buy two Qianmarrow Pills.
It seemed that she had finally discovered the inappropriateness of her behavior. The beautifully dressed woman couldn't stop talking, and her face was full of embarrassment. "I'm so sorry, my brother and sister, I was a little reckless just now!"
Yue Yu rolled his eyelids. Although this woman spoke beautifully, she had no intention of giving up her position at this moment. Yue Zhang frowned and thought for a long time before tentatively approaching the other party. "You are?
Huiling? The one in Uncle Seventh’s room?”
"Haha! Sister Yaoyi has a good memory. I thought you were too busy to remember it!"
The woman smiled and turned around. "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Sister Yaoyi very much! It was thanks to my sister that I went to my in-law's house with you, so I had a good marriage."
Yue Yu, who was confused, was relieved. In his mind, he estimated that this charming woman should be a concubine sister of the Yue Zhang family. In Dongsheng Continent, when the daughters of wealthy families get married, they will be accompanied by dowry sisters and maids. If one of them is
If the male host doesn't like her, or if she doesn't want to live in the house, she will point out her brothers to the servants and concubines. It is estimated that this 'Huiling' also falls into this situation.
It's just that this woman's words were clearly expressing her gratitude, but there was absolutely no trace of gratitude in her tone. On the contrary, there was a bit of pride——
