Qiao family.
It was rare for Qiao He to be quiet.
Mom, dad, and the eldest sister fled abroad for the New Year, leaving Qiao He at home alone to accompany his grandfather and deal with the Qiao family's relatives.
Every New Year, my grandfather's place is like a war-torn concentration camp. There is no smoke, but it is full of murderous intent.
Especially this year.
There was a lot of trouble in the Gu family.
The Qiao family was even more suspicious of the East and the West, and they were always afraid that the old man's little property would fall into the hands of outsiders.
Qiao He had been dealing with it all day from morning to night.
I just found an excuse to go home.
The door rings...
When Ye Fei heard this, the scar on his face trembled, "Who is it? He's celebrating the New Year. He's knocking on the door like he's looking for trouble."
Qiao He sat on the sofa, narrowed his eyes slightly, and guessed the answer without raising his eyes, "Those two brats from the Gu family. There are so many people outside, and they haven't even driven here yet. Who else is there besides the Gu family."
At this time, Ye Fei was already standing at the balcony.
He looked outside and saw that there were really two half-year-old children smashing the door with toys...
Ye Fei's mouth twitched.
"Master, you marry a chicken and follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. Why are you so open-mouthed?"
"?" Qiao He frowned and opened his eyes, "How come you are so out of tune with your words?"
When Ye Fei heard this, he laughed awkwardly, "This is not about trying to please the young mistress."
After he finished speaking, he immediately received a sharp blow from Qiao He.
Ye Fei quickly changed the subject when he saw it, "There are a lot of Gu family members outside. It seems that their whole family has been mobilized. Are they allowed in?"
Qiao He, "..."
He stared at Ye Fei for several seconds.
Then he said to the housekeeper, "Go tell the seventh lady of the Gu family that Ye Fei won't let her in."
"Hey Master, why don't I let you!"
"Because I dare not stop him." Qiao He casually spread his hands, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Ye Fei looked at his young master blankly.
did not expect.
This way you can show off your face...
He shuddered.
Disgusted and speechless, he went to arrange for the doorman.
"Hurry up and invite our future young lady to come in. The young master invites you!"
…
The Gu family's troops came in.
A team of people led by Mo Qian.
But after entering, Gu Baiye stood up with a quick stride.
With a look of displeasure, he said, "Second brother Qiao, who is your future young lady?"
Hearing this, Qiao He raised his eyebrows at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei quickly shrank his neck.
Don't start, don't dare to look into the young master's eyes.
Qiao He looked back.
Still turning to Gu Baiye, he said calmly, "No, how did you get in?"
Gu Baiye was startled.
Stuck there.
Qiao He ignored him.
Turning around to greet the Gu family, "Uncle Gu, Aunt Su, happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Mo Qian answered first.
She was obviously very happy to see Qiao He.
The corners of his lips curled up, revealing a shallow dimple, and then he cupped his fist towards Qiao He, "Qiao Er, congratulations on living another year."
Qiao He, "..."
His smile froze on his face.
For a moment I didn’t know how to respond to this “auspicious” word…
Su Rulan quickly stepped forward and explained to Mo Qian, "Qiao He, Qian Qian can't speak, so don't take it to heart! I also wish you a happy New Year and live well year after year."
Qiao He, "..."
Really, one family does not speak two different languages...
Su Rulan didn't notice Qiao He's embarrassed expression.
She looked around the room.
Asked, "Qiao He, where are your parents? Why are you at home alone?"
Qiao He answered truthfully, "My parents and my sister went abroad for the New Year and are not at home."
"Oh..." Su Rulan sounded a little distressed.
"You kid is alone at home, why didn't you say anything? I'm coming to my aunt's house tomorrow. My house is lively, and there's no one to accompany you during the Chinese New Year. It's so lonely."
Qiao He twitched the corners of his lips.
Don't know how to answer.
On the other hand, it was Gu Baiye who was speechless when Qiao He scolded him just now.
At this moment, I felt a sense of sympathy for Qiao He.
He walked over and patted Qiao He on the shoulder.
"I really didn't expect that my six sons are annoying. One son in your family is actually superfluous. Hey, come to my house for dinner these days. Don't be a pity at home alone."
Qiao He, "..."
Why are everyone in this family so good at chatting...
…
Qiao He was given cordial "sympathies" by the Gu family.
Everyone looked at him like a wretch.
Su Rulan even called the family chef.
Make a few plates of dumplings for Qiao He alone, and put gold ingots in them. It is a tradition of the Gu family that whoever gets the gold will have good luck!
Su Rulan was on the phone, lowering her voice and secretly giving instructions to the chef.
"Put in more and wrap up all the remaining gold. It's best if everyone can eat it!"
Qiao He, who was standing not far away and could be heard by everyone, said, "..."
He sighed wordlessly.
When Su Rulan hung up the phone.
I thanked her politely, "Thank you, Aunt Su.", don't give it as a gift next time...
…
Seeing that the bell is getting closer and closer.
Mo Qian ignored them.
She quickly ran to the room where the ancestor was enshrined and took out the tablet of the ancestor.
Mo Qian followed the order.
Seventeen tablets were placed on the coffee table.
Because she wanted to temporarily seal off the Gu family's good fortune and wealth, which she couldn't do with her own abilities.
And she couldn't just call on gods unless absolutely necessary.
So Mo Qian wanted to take advantage of the New Year, the day to worship the gods, to ask for divine help.
Mo Qian then placed the incense burner in the middle of the memorial tablet.
Light the sandalwood and insert it into the stove.
The red incense sticks on the tip of the sandalwood are glowing.
At this time, the attention of everyone in the room was focused on her.
can't read.
But also stay pious...
There are still ten minutes until midnight.
This year, the fourth child, Gu Beicheng, did not come back to celebrate the New Year.
In fact, not only this year, he rarely came back in previous years.
Because during the Chinese New Year, feudal superstitious activities are most rampant, and it is also the time when Gu Laosi is the busiest.
The Gu brothers miss their fourth son a little.
Gu Shaoting tilted his head slightly and said to the people around him, "Fortunately, the fourth child is not here. Otherwise, seeing what Mo Qian did, he would have scratched the wall anxiously."
After Gu Hongshen heard this, he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the camera, and faced Mo Qian, "It's okay. Let's take a picture for him."
Gu Shaoting chuckled, "Brother, you are really a real brother. If your fourth brother doesn't come back, you have to give him a stabbing blow."
Gu Hongshen stopped his hand.
Turning to stare at Gu Shaoting, "Then we won't shoot anymore?"
"shoot!"
Gu Shaoting quickly replied, and helped Gu Hongshen hold the phone, "You have to take a clear picture!"
Gu Beicheng: My dear brother, please destroy him...
…
The time is getting closer.
Mo Qian took out another stack of talisman papers from his bag.
Talismans and seals have been drawn on it.
Different from other symbols.
At this time, the cinnabar lines on these talismans were already glowing slightly.
Mo Qian performed three salutes and nine kowtows in front of the ancestor's tablet, and then he closed his hands from top to bottom and folded them in front of his chest. A golden light shone in the middle of his palms, which was the seal of the union of heaven and earth.
Mo Qian holds the seal.
Staring at the tip of the fire in the incense burner.
Until, the sound of New Year’s countdown came to mind on the TV…
