Chapter 156: The Best of It
Seeing that Qin Laohan bowed his head and was silent, the old patriarch snorted coldly, looked up at the sky, and then turned around and announced loudly.
"The auspicious time has come, and the people in each room will go forward to offer offerings in the order of the eldest and youngest!"
As these words fell, a whisper quickly sounded in the crowd, and many people craned their necks to check the offerings brought by others, secretly comparing them, and some people had smug smiles on their faces
Su Paner looked at all this indifferently in front of her, and reached out to cover the oiled paper on her bamboo basket.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Qin Yi's mouth.
The old patriarch on the altar had a serious face: "Silence! No one is allowed to make a noise! ”
As he spoke, his gaze slowly scanned the crowd.
The crowd hurriedly hung their heads and remained silent.
"The dedication has officially begun! Whoever the old man calls by name, he will come to the forefront. Qin Zhong, Qin Fanggen, Qin An ......"
There were many people in the Qin clan, and an elder on the altar read the names of the clansmen in a slow tone. The people whose names were called immediately came forward to worship and offer offerings.
Now that the Qin family is alive for five generations, Su Paner stood for a long time before she heard the name of the old Qin Tou.
Old Qin's first period Ai Ai responded and took the bamboo basket from Qin Li's hand.
The bamboo basket fluttered lightly, Lao Qintou walked a few steps, and looked back at Su Pan'er and the others with some hesitation, only then did he clench the bamboo basket in his hand and walk decisively to the altar.
The bamboo basket was opened by the clan elder, and sure enough, it was the same as Su Pan'er guessed, and he didn't prepare anything.
The beast meat that the Qin Yue clan brought back to the Qin family's mansion was also brought and placed in the middle as the main offering, and the rest, except for some incense candles, there were no offerings such as candy.
The clan elder who took the offering snorted coldly, and directly threw the empty bamboo basket at the feet of Lao Qin's head!
Glancing at him, he turned his back.
Old Qin's body stiffened, his whole face instantly turned red, like Guan Gong, he hurriedly grabbed the empty bamboo basket, and slipped off the altar.
Su Paner looked at all this coldly, and after a little thought, she understood.
On weekdays, these are all Qin Li clan's dots, and the old Qin family's silver money is also in Qin Li's hands. The Qin Li clan was only released from the ancestral hall last night, and the old Qin Tou was prepared with the heart, and he was afraid that there would be no money to add it.
Naturally, it will cause the immediate dilemma!
It was easy for the clan elder to call Qin Yi's name. Su Pan'er followed Qin Yi forward and sent the offerings he brought.
As soon as the two of them came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention!
The news of this Xiucai couple going out of the house has already spread, and everyone looks at the two of them with a little more pity and contempt.
The Qin Li clan and the Qin Chen clan were even more gloated.
It would be ridiculous to see that they actually came over with bamboo baskets, and only took out some wild vegetable nests later on!
As soon as the offering was opened, the fragrant cat wrapped in oiled paper instantly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The patriarch who took over the placement of the offerings was also shocked!
Hurriedly looked at the old patriarch.
The old patriarch looked up at the fragrant cat slightly, but didn't say much.
The clan elder is also a human spirit, and hurriedly moved a big pig's head that was originally placed in the middle to the back, and directly placed the fragrant cat and the whole bamboo blue in the front and most conspicuous position!
The crowd under the altar began to explode, whispering and talking.
Didn't the third son of the Qin family just be separated out?
When will there be money to buy this old thing?
It's a little too much!
A look of surprise also flashed in Old Qin's eyes! Soon, one of his old faces turned blue and blue, and the changes were inexplicable. Some people in the Qin family glared at Su Pan'er and the others angrily, hating to swallow them alive.
Qin Chen's face was sluggish.
Qin Li looked incredulous, relieved himself and secretly spat thick phlegm!
Hate said: "The old lady just said that they are wolf cubs, you still don't believe it!" Look, they still have so many good things hidden, but they give us such a little beast meat! This person's heart has been taken away by a hungry wolf! The ...... of a Thousand Cuts"
Qin Yue lowered his head to hide the disdain in his eyes.
I don't want to think about it, no matter how much food people eat, it's also someone else's! When I drove people out of the house, it was so decisive! Now that I see that other people's lives are better, my eyes are red!
Full pink eye!
Su Paner didn't care about the movement in the audience.
She was busy bringing sweets, pastries, Qingming ba, rice cakes...... The offerings were taken out one by one and put on the table, so that the elders who came to receive the offerings smiled with an old face.
It wasn't until all the offerings were moved that the clan elder handed the empty bamboo basket to Qin Yi.
Extraordinarily kind and concerned about him: "Look at your face is not very good?" But you're not feeling well? Why don't you go over there and rest for a while, and then it's not too late to come back when it's time to worship your ancestors. ”
Qin Yi hurriedly hugged his fists: "Thank you for your concern, Qin Yi is fine, he can still support it!" ”
The clan elder nodded: "It's okay." ”
As soon as the two of them got off the altar, Qin Yi's body shook a few times and almost fell.
Fortunately, Su Pan'er was quick and supported him in time.
"How? If you're not feeling well, go to the side and rest! Didn't the clan elders all agree? ”
Su Paner said in a low voice.
It seems that Qin Yi still has some concussions.
"It doesn't matter! I can still support it. This is the first time we have appeared on such a formal occasion since we split the stove. Besides, today is also the day when you officially meet the ancestor of the Qin clan for the first time! You can't let others see the joke plainly. ”
"You ......"
This nerd! People are uncomfortable, and they still care so much about these false courtesies? It's like death to save face and suffer sin!
Su Paner was speechless.
Until everyone's offerings have been laid out one by one, and everyone is back on their feet.
After waiting for a while, the patriarch solemnly announced: "The time to worship the ancestors has come, everyone worships the ancestors!" ”
Then came the complicated worship ceremony, Su Paner stood beside Qin Yi behind the crowd, and followed everyone to repeat the action of kowtowing and getting up, kowtowing and getting up again.
Qin Yi had already bumped his head, and after a series of kowtow ceremonies, his face was as pale as a blank piece of paper, without a trace of blood.
Finally after the Qin clan's clansmen finished worshipping, the sun had already risen overhead.
It also went to the most favorite and most exciting part of the clan - the distribution of offerings!
"After worshipping the ancestors, it's time to distribute the offerings!"
Despite the preparations, when the old patriarch said this, everyone was still inexplicably excited.
"Last year's success was good, and everyone also collected an extra three or five buckets. This year, our Qin clan's offerings to worship their ancestors are also very rich. Especially this fragrant cat meat, it is one of the best! It is enshrined by Qin Yi, the talented talent of our Qin clan! ”
He announced loudly.
attracted countless clansmen to frequently glance at Qin Yi and the others.
Old Qin's brows couldn't help but furrow.
Qin Li's face was pale, and he couldn't stop muttering.
Qin Chen gritted his teeth.
"Since it is offered by Qin Yi, this fragrant cat meat should be given to Qin Yi as much as possible. Qin Yi, come forward. ”
The old patriarch said loudly, picked up the knife, and directly cut off a large piece of fragrant cat meat. He took another piece of pork head and put it in a bamboo basket, and added some extra pastries and sweets.
After thinking about it, I put another jar of wine in it, and filled a basket full of it!
