Chapter 62 Ancestor Sacrifice
Before the early morning of May 13, that is, a little after four o'clock, the whole Yuejia City boiled early. Yue Yu also left the room early, and then changed his clothes under the supervision of Yue Zhang.
- Like Ran Liyue Bingqian, they are all dressed in new moon-white satin clothes. The style is very similar to the ancient clothes of the country in Yue Yu's previous life, but martial arts are respected in this era. Even for a big family like the Yue family, the cuffs are pricked to death, and the feet are also leather arrow boots that are conducive to battle.
When he walked out of the door, two four-horse-horse carts had been parked outside the door. In addition, six martial artists, who are also dressed in new clothes, are waiting outside.
When Yue Yu thought that it was a little too exaggerated, he saw a group of convoys coming on the other side of the lane. Six carriages with a more luxurious appearance, followed by twelve first- to second-class martial artists riding dragon-blooded horses. There are more than a hundred people in the back. Just as it passed by, the curtains of one of the cars were raised, revealing a few slightly contempt and surprised eyes from inside.
Yue Yu was speechless for a while, thinking that's what it was. It seems that the three-year-old ancestor worship ceremony is not just for ancestor worship.
No wonder Yue Zhang began to prepare early a few days ago, and even spent so much money to buy this carriage.
- That car is just that. It's not worth much money. The problem is the livestock pulling the cart. Although the dragon horn horse is the second-class riding war beast in Dongsheng mainland, the price of each horse is also more than fifty taels, which is about the price of a six-level foreign soldier. The refined grain needed to domesticate every year is equivalent to that of three middle-aged men in a year.
Compared with the team just now, their family is already shabby. Six hired martial arts masters, not to mention the formal second-level war beasts of dragon blood horses, don't even have one. The guard is only thirty, and he is wearing only three-level iron armor.
Yue Bingqian hummed and turned her head, as if she was a little disdainful. It's just that in those eyes, there is some uncontrollable envy. Yue Zhang was calm and carried the sacrifice into the carriage step by step. It was not until everything was ready that he walked in the direction of the ancestral hall. And when their motorcade went out of the alley and entered the main street. This time, even Yue Yu didn't dare to lift the curtains to see the situation outside.
When Yuejiacheng was built, for safety reasons, almost all the families of the important figures of the Yue family were placed in high places. Although hundreds of years have passed, the monsters at the foot of the mountain have disappeared. However, the area in the north of the city is still an important place for the clan, and ordinary people are not eligible to move in.
- In Yue Yu's era, it was a little straightforward, that is, the so-called rich area, the people here are either rich or powerful. And along the way, the convoys that were connected were more and more gorgeous. The two carriages in their house are different.
Yue Yu is not vain, he just doesn't want to see the strange sight next to him. It's one thing not to care, but he also doesn't want to be looked up and down by such eyes.
The clan ancestral hall is located in the northeast of Yuejia City, accounting for almost one-eighth of the urban area. The blue strip stone square outside is enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people. By the time Yue Yu and his party arrived, it was already a sea of people.
It was not until here that Yue Yu's views on this ancestor worship ceremony changed slightly.
- Although this ceremony was used by the branches of the Yue family, they took the opportunity to compare and show off to each other. However, it also plays the role of showing strength and deterrence to the surrounding forces.
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 intermittently owned by small families and merchants belonging to the Yue family.
As far as Yue Yu knows, such an important memorial, as long as it is the sphere of influence of the Yue family, it must be in a state of high alert. The intensity of vigilance and manpower are far more than usual. In addition, Yue Yu estimated that there should be more or less some hidden martial artists in the clan.
In this way, the strength shown by the Yue family this time is really huge. It is enough to offset the influence of the Yue family in the incident of the city lord's mansion a few days ago.
However, although this clan ancestral hall covers an extremely large area, the houses only have several halls built in the center. Only Yue Jiayun, Feng, Yu, Lei Sifang and some elite children can enter it.
When she came here, Yue Bingqian's expression gradually returned to peace. No matter how rich and powerful you are in the city of the Yue family, if you are not the direct line of the Yue family, you have to stay outside obediently!
- However, this mood only lasted for a moment. When he stepped into the ancestral hall, Yue Yu suddenly smiled bitterly. He saw the sacrifices piled up in front of him. Almost all of them are monsters of level three or even level four. And look at your own home, it's just a second-level thorn-toothed tiger.
Yue Yu now admires Yue Zhang's psychological quality, but he looks as usual, so that the servants put the steamed thorn-toothed tiger and a group of fruit plate wine tea and other sacrifices on the table exclusive to them.
- If it were him, even if he didn't mean to compare, he would feel extremely restless in this environment. However, Yue Zhang's family is not different at all.
After the offerings are placed, the next step is the ranking, that is, the order in which the ancestors will be incensed. Naturally, the old man and the men in the clan are in the front, and then it's the turn of women and children. Yue Zhang obviously did not intend to fight for anything this time, so he directly took the three people to a place on the left in the middle of the hall. As their long house, although it is a little far away from the position, it can also avoid many non-disputes and avoid 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 forgetful.
However, although Yue Zhang's plan is good, many things are not something she can avoid if she wants to avoid them. Not long after several people stood, a second-class servant in the ancestral hall respectfully led a woman and two teenagers over, and then forcibly inserted in front of them. Seeing this, Yue Zhang had no choice but to see that there were already people standing next to him, so he had to pull Yue Yu and others to take a step back.
The original thing came here, but it just made people feel a little unhappy. But at this time, the woman who grabbed the position turned around and looked surprised to meet the old friend.
"Ah! It turned out to be Sister Yaoyi! Do you still remember me, little sister?
Yue Yu looked sideways, and it was a young woman of about thirty. A melon seed face is beautiful and has a charming taste. It's just that the dress is a little tacky.
- This is not Yue Yu's heart, but the truth. The woman wears gold and silver, and the jewelry in her hair alone weighs about two or three pounds. However, looking at the excellent craftsmanship of carving, Yue Yu estimated that the price of this set of small items alone is enough for him to buy two strong marrow pills,
It seemed that she finally found something wrong with her behavior. The well-dressed woman stopped her mouth in a hurry, and her face was full of great embarrassment. I'm really sorry, my sister-in-law was a little reckless just now!"
Yue Yu turned his eyelids. Although the woman's words were beautiful, she didn't mean to give up at all at this moment. Yue Zhang frowned and thought for a long time before trying to face the other party. Are you Huiling? The one in the seventh uncle's room?
"Hehe! Sister Yaoyi has a good memory. I thought you had a lot of people. I don't remember!"
The woman smiled and turned around. Speaking of which, I would like to thank Sister Yaoyi! At the beginning, I was also happy to marry you to the Yue family with my sister, which led to a good marriage.
Yue Yu, who was confused, was relieved. I guess that this charming woman should be Yue Zhang's sister and so on. In Dongsheng Mainland, when the daughters of large rich families get married, they will be accompanied by dowry sisters and maids. If one of the male masters doesn't like it, or doesn't want to be included in the house, it will be pointed out to the servants and the concubines. It is estimated that this 'Hui Ling' also belongs to this situation.
It's just that this woman is obviously expressing gratitude, but in that tone, there is no trace of gratitude. On the contrary, there is a little arrogance--
