    Chapter 67 Ancestor Worship

    The ancestor worship of the Su family started in the morning.  Before the time of day, Xiao Ranqing was awakened by cistanche.  After some dressing and washing, he went to the main courtyard to meet his family, and then rode in a carriage to the ancestral hall in the south of the city in the faint morning light.

    "Wait and follow dad and brothers obediently, don't run around casually, you know?" When they reached the gate of the ancestral hall, Mrs. Wang worriedly urged several young sons.  Most of the people who came today were from the government of An Guo, and she was worried that her sons would be squeezed out.  If any disputes are caused and the event of ancestor worship is ruined, it will be difficult to deal with it.

    "Understood, mother!" Although the young ones were young, they also understood the importance their parents attached to this ancestor worship, and followed Su Changfeng to the left with a solemn face.  And Mrs. Wang led Xiaoranqing to the female relatives on the right.

    Walking into the side hall, there are already many people sitting in it.  Wang put on a decent smile and nodded to the women in the hall from time to time, but she walked in with Xiaoranqing without stopping.  After turning around an eight-panel embroidered landscape screen, Wang's footsteps slowed down.  "Granddaughter-in-law pays respects to the old lady."

    Xiao Ranqing also saluted, looking around calmly from the corner of her eye.  I saw an old woman wearing a dark yellow satin dress and wearing a jade forehead, sitting high on the head, presumably she should be the old matriarch of An Guogong's mansion, that is, her great-grandmother.  On the left sits a woman in her 40s or 50s, who is also dressed in a wealthy family, and there are several younger women standing or sitting beside her.  It doesn't look like a maid in clothes, but a daughter-in-law or something.  I just don't know if it's her uncle or the daughter of the second uncle's family.

    "Get up," Mrs. Su took a sip of tea before motioning the mother and daughter to get up, with a cold and disgusted look on her face, "Why are you here so late? I know you have been in Dongzhou for so many years.  There is no elder in the world to control, and the rules will inevitably be lax. But today is the ancestor worship, and even us elders dare not neglect to come early. You, the younger generation, came so late, it is too ignorant of the importance.  If the great event of ancestor worship is delayed, can you bear it?"

    "What the old matriarch said is true." Wang Shi Fushen said, she was used to such deliberate censure in the early years, and now it's just passing by.  In fact, since the annual ceremony incident, the two mansions have cut off contact, and the Wang family did not go to An Guogong's mansion to see him in the two days since he came to the capital.  It's just that the Su family's clan members are all outside today, so they still have to do what they should do.

    "It's good to know what's wrong, go over there and think about it." The old lady pointed to the corner on the left and then turned her head away, ignoring the mother and daughter Wang.

    A mocking look flashed across Xiao Ran's blue eyes, her great-grandmother was really not smart.  This is the situation in the An Guogong's mansion now, and they are still blindly embarrassing their family.  She occasionally learned from her parents that An Guogong's mansion not only lost its Sacred Heart in the previous salt smuggling case, but also compensated a large sum of money.  Moreover, there are too many children in the family who are not capable. It is still a question of whether there will be an Anguo government in another ten or twenty years.  In such a predicament, those who have a long-term vision will choose to repair the relationship with her father, who is in a state of great favor, but they never thought that Mrs. Su is a fool who only cares about personal grievances and ignores the overall situation.  Children and grandchildren are not without reason.

    For the old matriarch's excessive actions, Wang couldn't help but feel angry.  At this time, there is still more than an hour before the ancestor worship, so why is it too late?  An Guogong's mansion is only one street away from the ancestral hall, so of course he came early.  Mrs. Su used this to punish their mother and daughter, a fool can see how far-fetched it is!  Qi returns to Qi, and reason is still there.  Mrs. Wang understood that now was not the time to reason with Mrs. Su, so she stood with her daughter in that corner with a dark face.  Feeling the warmth and softness from the palm of her hand, Wang lowered her head. It turned out that it was her daughter who held her hand at some point.  My heart couldn't help feeling warm, my daughter was comforting her.

    "Great-grandmother, great-grandmother, Ling'er is here!" Suddenly, a small red figure ran in bouncingly, grabbing Old Madam Su's leg and screaming.

    When Mrs. Su saw the person coming, she changed her indifferent expression when facing the mother and daughter of the Wang family, and embraced the little man lovingly, "Great-grandmother's baby Ling'er, you can come here! Come on, let Mrs.  Grandma, look, is it skinny or fat?"

    "Hehe, great-grandmother, Ling'er is too tall!" the little girl said coquettishly.

    "Ling'er, why don't you come down to pay respects to the old matriarch?" A beautiful woman led several young girls in and said to the little girl upon seeing this.  Although the tone was reprimanding, his face was full of pampering.  When the youngest daughter returned to her side with her mouth pouting, the beautiful woman greeted her with blessings, "Daughter-in-law Sun has seen the old lady."

    "Well, is your mother better?" Mrs. Su motioned for the beautiful woman to sit down on the right, and beckoned Su Xiling to come back to her.

    "Oh, I still can't get out of bed." The beautiful woman put on a sad face when she heard this, "Sister-in-law has been looking after the bed and can't get away.Surprised, Mrs. Wang hugged her daughter with closed eyes in a panic, not knowing what to do.  My daughter was fine just now, why did she suddenly faint?  She couldn't help but recall the unknown lethargy when her daughter was one year old, and she panicked.

    "The child should be tired from worshiping the ancestors just now, sister-in-law quickly take her back to the mansion to see the doctor!" Seeing her at a loss, the young daughter-in-law hurriedly reminded her.

    "The rituals that should be done have been done in the morning, it's important that you take the child to see the doctor first." Another elderly woman also advised.

    Only then did Wang come to his senses, and after pleading guilty to the elders, he picked up his daughter and was about to go out.  It's just that he staggered when he got up, but fortunately, he didn't fall because of the support of the previous daughter-in-law.

    "I'll help you hold the baby, where is your carriage, please lead the way," said the daughter-in-law.

    "It's right there." Mrs. Wang glanced at the daughter-in-law gratefully, and quickly walked to the front to lead the way.

    After carrying the little man into the carriage and thanking the daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang hurriedly sent the coachman back home.  Feeling the carriage moving slowly, Xiao Ranqing opened her eyes and called out, "Mother"

    "Bao'er?" Wang's tears fell instantly. What she was most afraid of was that something happened to her daughter.

    "Mother, Bao'er is fine," Xiaoranqing helped Mrs. Wang wipe away her tears, feeling a little regretful in her heart.  But if you don't pretend to be dizzy, how can you let the Wang family return to the mansion in a legitimate way?  "Bao'er is very tired and wants to rest."

    "Well, let's go back to the mansion to rest." Mrs. Wang hugged her daughter tightly and agreed repeatedly.

    "Bao'er wants to rest with mother."

    "Well, mother will rest with Bao'er."

    Back at the Su residence, Mrs. Wang took a rest with Xiaoranqing after she had a doctor look at it.  The next day, there were rumors in the capital that the daughter of the Su family was weak and sick.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
