Chapter 445 Qiu Xian
"To declare the sacrifice."
Butler Wei stood at the edge of the altar and shouted loudly.
Two servants of the Yue family with red silk tied around their waists came over carrying a three-legged bronze tripod and placed it in front of the altar.
"Brother, please."
My grandfather smiled and stretched out his hand to make a sign of invitation, indicating that the old boss would hold the certificate and he, as the younger brother, would light the fire.
"Stab it."
Holding the top of the Biaowen with his head, my grandfather struck a match, and the flames slowly engulfed the Biaowen. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up the ashes of the Biaowen, flew into the sky, and slowly disappeared into the sky. .
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations."
The four guests standing nearby hurriedly came up to express their congratulations.
"You four came here to meet your uncle-in-law."
The old man smiled and nodded, turned around and saw his four sons standing beside him watching the fun. The old man straightened his face and shouted loudly to his four sons.
"Hey, here we come."
The four sons of the boss were watching the fun. When his father called out, they responded quickly. The four of them walked over in a few steps and stood in a row in front of the boss.
"Uncle Yue."
The four people shouted loudly to my grandfather, very respectfully and with a touch of intimacy.
"Okay, okay, Old Wei, hurry up and get the meeting gift I prepared."
My grandfather was so happy when the four people called him, he smiled and nodded repeatedly, and quickly asked Butler Wei to get the meeting gift he had prepared in advance.
"Hey, here it comes."
Butler Wei turned around and took the tray from the servant's hand. The tray was covered with red silk. He didn't know what was on it, but he probably guessed it was a small object.
My grandfather stretched out his hand and opened the red silk. There were four pieces of jade pendants, four pieces of unicorn pendants. They were fine yellow and white jade, with a white background of clouds and mountains, and a yellow unicorn flying in the mountains. The four pieces all had different movements. and posture.
"Come, come, come, this is my uncle's greeting gift."
My grandfather smiled and took out the jade pendant and handed it to the four of them one by one.
"You're serious, I wasn't prepared for this."
The boss knew that my grandfather had three sons, and each of his four sons was given a jade pendant. He must also show his side, otherwise this matter would not look good, and he would not be able to save his face.
"My brother, what a gift for a meeting? How can you get a gift without even meeting me? From now on, you can give it to my three useless children when they meet you. If you don't give them to me then, you will be disrespectful."
My grandfather stretched out his hand and took the leader. This shouldn't embarrass people because of this. My grandfather smiled and took the leader's hand and explained. This was what my grandfather had planned in advance.
"That's it, I'll be ready and waiting for you to come with your child."
The old man nodded, that's all. The elders don't need to give the meeting gifts to the younger ones when they don't meet the person. It's not a good idea to give it to the elders who have children. So what my grandpa said makes sense, and the old man also Not being a fussy person, he nodded and agreed, just as he was going back to make preparations.
"Hahaha, you're right. There's no need for a meeting gift if we haven't met in person. But I haven't seen your eldest son for a long time. Is he okay?"
Jin laughed heartily. He was watching from beginning to end. He felt that the more relatives the Yue family had, the better. Regardless of whether they were related to each other, they were all helping the Yue family anyway. This proved that the Yue family was prosperous, but he knew about the Yue family. I haven't seen the eldest son for a long time. Since the Yue family left Xishan Pass, I have never seen the eldest son of the Yue family, nor the two ladies of the Yue family, that is, my two grandmothers.
"Haha, Lin Mao went to do something with his mother. We have decided to meet up."
My grandpa smiled. He couldn't tell where my grandma and dad were going, so my grandpa said it vaguely. This didn't mean he didn't say anything, but it did mean he didn't tell it.
"Oh, it turns out you left with your younger siblings, so I won't ask anymore. Brother, it's time for us to go home."
Jin Da was not ignorant. He knew that my grandfather had nothing to say. He had just left, so he couldn't talk nonsense. He nodded to show that he understood, and then turned around and asked the old boss to go with him. This attitude was very affectionate. .
"Hey, I've finished packing. I was called out by Old Wei in a hurry. They're all in the house. I can go get them and leave."
The old man nodded in response. The sun had risen now, and it was indeed getting late.
"Old Wei, hurry up and bring up the things I prepared for my brother."
My grandfather heard the conversation between Jin Da and the boss on the side. He turned around and said to Butler Wei, asking him to quickly get the things that my grandfather had prepared. This was something that my grandfather had prepared a long time ago. This thing is the Yue family’s gift. The thank you gift to the boss should naturally be given to him when he leaves. If it is given to the boss in advance, wouldn't it be like expelling someone.
"It's already been prepared."
Butler Wei smiled and handed over a large bag. This bag was long and slender. Judging from the shape, it looked like a rectangular box. The box was six inches wide, three inches high, and a little over four feet long. It looked larger than the average. The sword box is several times bigger.
"Brother, I have some thoughts on this, but I hope you will accept it."
My grandfather took the cloth bag handed over by Butler Wei. Because it had a cloth bag on the outside, let's call it a cloth bag.
My grandfather held the bag in both hands and raised it in front of the boss, begging him to take it down.
"That's too polite of you. I can't take this thing anymore."
The boss looked embarrassed. If there was no sworn relationship, he would have accepted it. He came to help the in-law family, so it is normal to accept something as a thank you gift, but now the boss is my grandfather's sworn brother. This We are a family. Do we still need to collect things when we are doing a favor? I didn’t see that Jinda was about to leave, and my grandfather didn’t say anything about giving him anything. The only thing my grandfather gave Jinda was the secret book given to him in the study of the old house in Langxiang. There was really nothing else.
The old boss looked at the bag in front of him and knew that there was a box inside. The things in the box must be good things, but the old boss was really embarrassed to ask for it.
"Brother, this is my little brother's wish, and this thing is just right for my brother."
My grandfather reached out and opened the bag and took out the wooden box inside. The box was made of fine peach wood. After opening the box, the contents appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Inside was a gun and a rifle, but This rifle was something no one had ever seen before, and it also had a fixed blade, which looked a bit like a Tang Hengdao.
"This is?"
The old boss also plays with guns, but those are old-fashioned rifles in front of him. This gun can be seen as a new gun at first glance. Judging from the appearance of the gun, the old boss has never seen it before.
"This is a new gun that was just produced in our country. It's called the Bayi Automatic Rifle. I got it with a lot of effort. If my brother doesn't accept it, all my hard work will be in vain."
My grandfather opened the box and asked the boss to look at the gun in the box. Then he explained and gave the boss a reason to accept the gift.
"Oh, this is a good gun. It's a waste for a mountain man like me to use it."
