Three days later.

Chinese New Year's Eve.

Jiang Li and Gu Qian had already purchased a large pile of New Year's goods and stacked them in the living room on the first floor.

Spring Festival couplets are posted at the entrance of the villa.

The originally cold villa was decorated by Jiang Li, and it became more and more fireworks.

"Will we both eat tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home?"

Jiang Li sat on the sofa, looked at Gu Qian and asked, "If you eat at home, I will start preparing the ingredients in the afternoon." ”

"Aren't you going next door?"

"Don't do it."

Jiang Li shook her head slightly.

Last time, before Jiang Mingyi left, he did invite them to his house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but Jiang Li had already defaulted to the other party's polite words.

Although it is only about a hundred meters away.

But after all, it's the Chinese New Year, and it's not good to go to other people's homes to disturb them.

"It's okay, a hundred meters is not far away, when the time comes, just go directly to Jiang Mingyi's house to eat, their family is estimated to have begun to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."

Gu Qian knew Jiang Mingyi's plans.

If nothing else, I'm afraid Uncle Jiang and Aunt Qi will also come.

"Not so good."

"It's fine."

Gu Qian's tone was relaxed, without any embarrassment: "It just so happens that there are more people in the New Year, and the words of the two of us are ......."

Halfway through.

Gu Qian's voice paused, and he leaned closer before continuing to add in a low voice: "This year may be spent in bed." ”

"Then let's go to Brother Jiang's house."

Jiang Li didn't say a word, and made a decisive choice: "Then we still have to prepare some gifts, and we can't go to other people's houses empty-handed." ”

"Well, there's no need for gifts, let's just cook a few dishes and eat them together when the time comes."

"Don't do it, I'll just cook by myself."

Jiang Li seriously corrected Gu Qian's "sick sentence": "I don't want everyone to be in the hospital tonight for New Year's Eve." ”

Gu Qian: "......"

Decide on a place for the New Year.

The two left the villa together and went straight to the Rolls-Royce.

The driver drives.

Rolls-Royce slowly drove in the direction of the Gu family's ancestral home.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve.

Gu Qian didn't plan to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the family's ancestral home, but he had a reason to go back to the ancestral home.

Today is the year-end festival of the Gu family.

Along.

Gu Qian was a little silent.

Rolls Royce drove the air conditioner, but he still opened the window a little and felt the cold wind blowing on his face.

"Close the window."

Seeing this, Jiang Li looked at the driver and ordered.

The windows are closed.

Jiang Li reached out and rubbed Gu Qian's cheek, and said jokingly: "I'll have to see my aunt later, don't blow your face." ”

"Okay."

"Do you have a lot of processes and rules for the year-end festival of your Gu family, I'll talk to me first, I'm afraid that there will be jokes at that time."

Jiang Li said seriously.

The year-end festival is one of the most important events of the year for a wealthy family, and there must be many rules passed down from the ancestral system.

Gu Qian shook his head lightly, and said in a gentle voice: "It's okay, you don't have to pay attention to those cumbersome rules." ”

"Really?"

"Well, you can accompany me to worship my ancestors later, and then go to the back house to worship my mother, and we can go directly, and let the others do the rest."

"Wouldn't that be nice......"

Jiang Li had some concerns.

Gu Qian did explain in a relaxed tone: "In the past, I only worshiped my mother at the end of the year, and the other processes were too cumbersome, and it was already late to end the whole set. ”

"Okay."

……

Rolls-Royce slowly stopped at the door of the Gu family's ancestral house.

There were snowflakes in the air.

The maid at the gate of the ancestral house held an umbrella and walked forward quickly to greet the two: "Young Master, Young Lady, the year-end festival has begun." ”

The two held umbrellas and welcomed Gu Qian and Jiang Li in.

Gu Qian glanced at the family servant who spoke just now, and said in a flat tone: "It's the New Year, has the family given you red envelopes?" ”

"It's done."

"Later, if you go and get an extra one alone, I'll say I said it."

"Huh?"

The servant was stunned for a moment, not understanding what made the eldest young master happy, but he still nodded again and again and thanked him: "Thank you, eldest young master." ”

The two walked into the ancestral house together.

In the ancestral house, gongs and drums are beaten, and the smell of sandalwood spreads, and you can smell it from afar.

"The Tail Festival has begun."

Gu Qian's tone was flat, and he took Jiang Li's hand and slowly walked towards the ancestral hall of the ancestral house.

In the ancestral hall.

The old men of the second and third rooms have arrived, respectfully offering incense and paying homage in front of the ancestral tablets.

A group of uncles and uncles in the second and third bedrooms stood on the side and waited.

Outside the ancestral hall, there were a group of juniors of the same age or younger as Gu Qian, quietly waiting for the elders to end their sacrifices.

Gu Qian appeared with Jiang Li in his hand.

Moment.

The clansmen who were originally standing at the door of the ancestral hall got out of the way one after another, making way for Gu Qian and Jiang Li to pass.

The two walked into the ancestral hall together.

The family's maid immediately hurriedly handed Gu Qian three lit incense sticks.

Gu Qian frowned slightly, handed the three incense sticks in his hand to Jiang Li, and said in a cold voice: "Gone?" ”

"This ......"

The maid was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the old man in the second and third rooms.

Seeing this, the second grandfather opened his mouth and scolded: "Didn't you hear the words of the young family master?" Why don't you go and get ready? ”

"Yes."

The servant in the second room hurriedly took three more incense sticks and respectfully handed them to Gu Qian's hand.

Gu Qian and Jiang Li stepped forward together, bowed respectfully three times to the ancestral tablet of the Gu family in the ancestral hall, and inserted the three incense sticks in their hands into the incense burner on the stage.

"Let's go."

Gu Qian took Jiang Li's hand, turned around and walked straight towards the outside of the ancestral hall.

"Qian'er."

Seeing this, the third grandfather immediately spoke: "Where are you going?" ”

"Worship my mother."

"Now the year-end festival is not over yet, you have just inherited the position of the young head of the family this year, and there are still some ceremonies that you need to preside over in the future."

"Third grandfather, how did it go in previous years, let's do it this year."

"This year is different from previous years......

What else does the old man in the third room want to say.

The old man in the second room did open his mouth to stop him: "It's okay, Qian'er will go to the back house first, Yao'er is also there, and the ceremony of the ancestral house will be presided over by the two old men." ”

"Hmm."

Gu Qian nodded slightly, took Jiang Li's hand and left the ancestral hall.

Walk out of the ancestral hall.

Jiang Li asked with some concern: "Gu Qian, just now the third grandfather said that you inherited the position of the heir of the head of the family this year, and some sacrifices need you to preside?" ”

"Well, generally the year-end festival is presided over by the head of the family or the heir of the head of the family."

"Then you just leave now, won't it affect your family position?"

Jiang Li grabbed Gu Qian's arm with some worry: "Why don't we go back, it's just a little tedious, and I'll accompany you." ”

"It's fine."

Gu Qian smiled and rubbed Jiang Li's head, and said in a gentle voice: "The year-end festival will last until the night, and I am not willing to let you starve with you." ”

"A year-end festival, others can't make any waves."
