There was a moment of silence around.

Everyone knows that old Hou Ye Gu Xuan has been dead for fourteen years, and in this Gu's ancestral hall, there is a memorial tablet for old Hou Ye.

How can the dead decide for Gu Yunzhen? !

Gu Jian frowned, feeling that the pair of siblings were simply inexplicable.

Gu Yuan actually didn't understand what his sister meant, but this didn't prevent him from listening to her.

When facing outsiders, Gu Yuan is a lonely wolf with a sharpness that can tear people's hearts.

But when he faced Gu Yanfei, he would retract his sharp claws and become her gentlest and most reliable brother.

He lowered his eyes and smiled gently at Gu Yanfei, pampering and tolerant.

My sister never shoots aimlessly. She must have a reason for saying this.

The room was quiet for a while, and the air became more oppressive and heavy, as if it was about to drip water.

A woman swallowed her saliva, carefully took a step closer to Madam Gu, and said, "Madam Tai, Lord Hou, the auspicious time has come."

The mother-in-law didn't dare to look directly at Mrs. Gu and Gu Jian's faces.

Mrs. Gu looked away from Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei with a dark face, her eyes were filled with extremely intense emotions, including anger, depression, embarrassment, turbulence, but in the end she suppressed them.

She cleared her throat, put on a serious look, and said calmly as if nothing had happened: "Master Hou, let's go."

She took the lead and walked towards the sacrificial hall at a leisurely pace.

At first glance, the expression is majestic, awe-inspiring and inviolable.

Everyone suppressed the complicated emotions in their hearts and followed closely.

It's just that after the episode just now, several people were a little irritable and restless, and their eyes glanced at Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei's brothers and sisters from time to time.

Soon, everyone surrounded Mrs. Tai and Gu Jian across the front hall, and entered the sacrificial hall at the back, and the ancestor worship team was mighty.

As for those aunts, mothers, maids, and mothers-in-law who are not eligible to enter the Gu Clan Hall, they all stood quietly outside and waited with low eyebrows.

In the previous dynasty, men were superior to women and their status was clearly defined. Women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. When worshiping ancestors, the female family members could only kowtow outside the ancestral hall. Only men could enter the ancestral hall to offer incense.

It was not until this dynasty that the phenomenon of male superiority to female inferiority was slightly improved. Emperor Taizu believed that women may not be inferior to men, so he insisted on changing the status of women, not only allowing women to run women's households, open women's schools, but also allow women to enter ancestral halls. Recorded in genealogy and more.

Everyone quickly stood up in the sacrificial hall according to their seniority and order. Gu Yanfei stood in the last row, looking up at the many tall memorial tablets directly in front of him.

Unlike last night where only one candle was lit, all the candles on the two rows of candle holders on the east and west sides of the sacrificial hall were all lit, and the scattered candlelight illuminated the entire tall, spacious room brightly and transparently.

The air was filled with faint sandalwood, and the atmosphere was solemn, which gradually calmed down the impetuous hearts.

Gu Jian at the front knelt down on the futon with three sticks of incense sticks in his left hand, and began to burn incense and pray to the ancestral tablet, talking about what happened in the mansion this year, looking forward to the future, and then imploring the ancestors to bless their descendants.

On the stepped incense table, one after another tablet casts heavy shadows on each other, and the sandalwood is lingering, shadows are faint.

After a while, Gu Jian respectfully inserted the incense stick into the three-legged incense burner.

This action represents the end of the sacrificial ceremony.

Everyone got up from the futons one after another, and surrounded Mrs. Gu, Gu Jian's mother and son, and went out.

As soon as the atmosphere relaxed, small chatter and laughter echoed.

The juniors gathered together in twos and threes, whispering, and already started planning tomorrow's outing.

Mrs. Gu brought Yan Shi and Gu Yunzhen's mother and daughter to her side as she walked, and said in a gossiping tone: "Sister Zhen, Mrs. Murong is not in good health. The wedding date must be brought forward."

"After a while, the Murong family will come to welcome the bride after they have calculated the auspicious time. You should hurry up and get ready."

Her expression was as calm as water, as if this was just an insignificant matter, and she just asked Gu Yunzhen to change into new clothes.

The other people in the rear also heard it, and they were all shocked.

The third wife Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, she couldn't believe her ears, and she didn't even notice that the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground.

Yan has been a widow for many years, her only concern is her daughter.

She endured it all because she thought that after her daughter married into the Murong family, the Murong family would think of her well and would not treat her badly, but now, can this be called marriage? !

Even other people's concubines are more decent than this!

Yan's heart throbbed, and she turned her head with difficulty to look at Gu Yunzhen beside her.

The girl's face was coated with a layer of radiance by the candlelight, her skin was as porcelain as jade, and her face was incredibly calm.

Faced with the Murong family's almost humiliating behavior, even I couldn't let go, let alone my daughter, who was only sixteen years old, but she was forced to have the calmness of sixty years old... her heart was ashamed.

Her daughter shouldn't be like this!

The daughter she raised like a pearl like a treasure should not be trampled like this!

This thought was like a dagger stabbing into Yan's heart, which made her feel more pain in her heart.

Yan's eyes were sour, and she blurted out: "Sister Zhen, if you really don't want to, you won't marry."

After the voice came out, she realized that her voice was somewhat choked and hoarse.

"Mother?" Gu Yunzhen looked at Yan Shi in astonishment, and there seemed to be circles of water in the gentle willow leaf eyes.

In addition to shock, it is more moving and joyful.

Obviously yesterday, my mother also helped my grandmother to persuade her to celebrate...

But now, Mother has chosen to stand by her. The reason why she did not hesitate to face her grandmother is naturally for herself!

The mother and daughter looked at each other with slight tears in their eyes.

The other people around subconsciously held their breath, and the soft-tempered girls didn't dare to look at Mrs. Gu's face at all.

Mrs. Gu's complexion instantly became ugly, from blue to white, from white to purple, from purple to black, with various colors.

The anger in the heart surged out again, even the graceful face was slightly distorted.

"Enough!" Mrs. Gu said sharply, her voice was very low and deep.

"If she doesn't marry, she will become an aunt."

She looked directly at Yan Shi with cold eyes, every word and every sentence was so cold that it almost fell out of ice.

The daughter is Yan's lifeline, Yan's face turned pale immediately, and he withered like an eggplant beaten by frost, unable to say anything.

Based on Yan's understanding of Mrs. Gu, if she dares to say it, she dares to do it.

How dare the Yan family risk her daughter's future, and how can she bear to watch her daughter become an aunt at a young age.

Yan's body was trembling slightly, but Gu Yunzhen beside her was as tall and straight as a green bamboo in the cold wind, she didn't care about Mrs. Gu's intimidation, her expression remained calm.

With the support of her mother, elder brother and second younger sister, and her relatives are all by her side, she has nothing to fear!

"Mother, I..." Gu Yunzhen opened his lips slightly, and originally wanted to say that she would not marry even if she was a sister-in-law, but felt her cuffs tighten.

She looked down and saw Gu Yanfei quietly pulling her sleeve and shaking it, Gu Yunlan in front of her just blocked Gu Yanfei's small movements.

"Mrs. Tai, didn't I just say that?" Gu Yanfei smiled and walked to Gu Yunzhen's side, "The elder sister's marriage will be decided by the grandfather."

The other people next to her subconsciously took a step back to the sides to make way for her.

"It happens that grandfather is here, let's ask him what he means."

Gu Yanfei's voice was cool and low-pitched, but it resounded through the entire sacrificial hall and clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Gu Yanfei raised his eyes and looked at the tablet with the name of the old master Gu Xuan written on it, and said seriously: "Grandfather, I am your granddaughter Yanfei. I greeted you last night."

"Mrs. Tai and Master Hou want to make the big sister a blessing, grandfather, do you agree?" Gu Yanfei asked solemnly.

"Nonsense." Gu Jian couldn't help scolding.

"Tuk-tuk..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a strange sound in front of him, which seemed to refute Gu Jian's words.

"Tut Tuk, Tuk Tuk..."

The noise continued and became louder and louder.

All the people were silent, their gazes flooded over like a tide, looking for the tablet of the old Dingyuanhou Gu Xuan in the second row of the incense case.

In the heavy candlelight, the dark red tablet swayed like chaff on the incense table, repeatedly making "duk-duk" sounds, and the sound became more and more serious.

In the sacrificial hall lined with memorial tablets, the sound was extremely strange.

Gu Yanfei sighed faintly, spread his hands, and sighed: "See, I'm right, grandpa is here to make decisions for big sister."

When she said this, everyone felt hairy in their hearts, and subconsciously looked around.

Several young girls looked around, the hairs on their necks stood on end, as if the old master was secretly watching all of them in another way of existence.

Gu Yuan sang and agreed with Gu Yanfei tacitly: "I think grandfather must be angry like this!"

"That's right, the mansion robbed me of my errand to Murong Yong, that's all, and I have to give my real sister to their family to celebrate!"

"It's no wonder grandpa is angry."

While Gu Yuan was speaking, the voice of "Du Tu Tu" could be heard endlessly.

The tablet of the old Hou Ye Gu Xuan continued to ring, shaking back and forth, and the rhythm became more and more rapid, which formed a sharp contrast with the other tablets around him that remained still.

There is obviously no wind in the room, but the clusters of candles on the candle holders on both sides are flickering slightly, and the light and shadow are intertwined.

This scene is too spooky.

Gu Jian's face turned pale, her facial features were flickering in and out of the candlelight, and she looked anxious, and she couldn't help but have a thought in her heart: Could it be that my father really has a spirit in the sky and wants to say something to them ?

"The memorial tablet moves without wind." Gu Yanfei sighed, that quiet voice seemed to have a hint of coolness like the autumn wind.

"Grandfather disagrees."
