Liu Xiangbai looked at his wife's thinning appearance, and then looked at his own increasingly fat body. Although his wife did not say anything, he kept it in his heart.
My wife works hard for this family, so she is losing weight.
Although I can't do anything for this family at the moment, I should at least maintain the way my wife likes it.
That's right, I can't get any fatter.
No matter how delicious the food sent by the Lu family god was, he could not eat too much. He was five years older than his wife. When he met his wife in the future, she would still be beautiful, but he would have become a poor and fat man.
Seeing that her husband was worried, He Zhen immediately guessed that he must be imagining things.
She reached out and took her husband's hand and walked into the house. "I don't mind your fatness. You don't know that I am always worried about your suffering at home every day. When I heard others talk about how many people died on the road of exile, I was panicked."
He Zhen said, almost crying, her eyes reddened, "I was worried that you wouldn't have enough to eat, wouldn't have enough clothes to wear, and that you'd get hurt. Now that I see you're fine, I feel very relieved, at least I'm not so worried anymore."
Unexpectedly, he could hear such heartfelt words from his wife. Liu Xiangbai held his wife's hand tightly and said, "Madam, I am incompetent and have made you suffer."
At this time, Gu Xingzhao was curled up on the sofa, watching the two people meeting in their dreams. He originally wanted to see He Zhen's reaction when she found out that her husband had gained weight, but he didn't expect to see such a touching scene.
She suddenly began to believe in love.
Gu Xingzhao watched the two of them looking at each other affectionately and their faces getting closer and closer. She felt like she was watching a tragic drama, and she became excited as she saw that they were about to kiss.
At this moment, a mosaic suddenly appeared on the screen in front of them, blocking the two people.
Gu Xingzhao: "???" What the hell?
[Reply to host, non-green behavior detected, automatically open the youth anti-addiction health supervision system for you, and block it. ]
Gu Xingzhao's forehead twitched as he was watching with great interest, "No, I'm already in my twenties, and you're doing this to me?"
[Reply to host, non-green behavior has been detected, and the youth anti-addiction health supervision system has been automatically turned on for you, and it has been blocked. ]
Gu Xingzhao: "." Well, he's pretending to be dead like a parrot.
No, who would mosaic a kiss? Others at least prohibit it below the neck, but you even cut it off. Is it that serious?
The point is, the mosaic is too perfunctory, just covering the mouth-to-mouth part?
Looking at the mosaic, Gu Xingzhao felt as if he was watching something inappropriate for children. He immediately lost interest and got up and went back to his bedroom to sleep.
The next day, Gu Xingzhao got up early, contacted Yang Hui, and brought back the batch of fireworks that had been purchased a few days ago, and also brought a batch of fairy wands.
He Zhen priced the fireworks at a high price, and ordinary people certainly couldn't afford large fireworks. But for fireworks like fairy wands, you just hold them in your hands and light them, and children and girls will like them. The price is also cheap, and ordinary people can afford them.
Although it is about making money from wealthy people, it is also a good thing that the market takes into account more people so that ordinary people can also afford to play.
Thinking that the children would like them, she specially picked up a few and brought them to Lu Youtang and the others.
When he saw the fairy wand, Lu Xingyao was stunned for a moment, staring at it for a while, as if he had thought of something, and his expression was visibly excited.
Gu Xingzhao was so excited that his mind was moved. Wow! Could it be that he figured out what this thing was?
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingyao knew what this thing was and what it was used for just by looking at it.
Lu Xingyao ran towards Lu Qing holding a fairy wand, "Grandfather! Our ancestors are here to send us incense!"
Gu Xingzhao: "?"
"." It turned out that I had mistaken it for incense sticks.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing quickly took the thing from Lu Xingyao's hand, and couldn't help but think too much. Could it be that the ancestor felt that we had not offered sacrifices to her and was unhappy, so she sent the incense sticks as a hint?
Lu Zhou on the side didn't think too much about it, but Song was getting anxious.
"Father, did our ancestors blame us?"
It's not that they don't want to offer sacrifices to their ancestors, but they are in a situation where they have nothing of value to offer. Just incense sticks without any other offerings would be too shabby.
Lu Qing was holding the things, feeling uneasy and not knowing how to ask his ancestors.
Lu Xingyan said slowly, "Father, I heard that we will be able to reach Ji County in two days. Why don't we discuss it with the officials and spend some money to send someone to buy some things?"
If you really want to offer sacrifices to your ancestors, you can't be perfunctory about this aspect.
When Lu Qing heard this, he thought it was feasible. His Lu family's ancestor had appeared in spirit several times, and Du Hangwu and others had witnessed it all. He thought he wouldn't mind, so it should be possible to discuss it.
As for the silver and money, the ones that You Xian had given me before could be used.
Gu Xingzhao was immediately delighted. Although it was a big mistake, the Lu family wanted to offer him tribute, which meant that he could get a lot of tribute points.
This was a good thing!
"Lu Qing, I sent some fun things over for the kids to play with. Hold them in your hands and light them with fire. The sparks are very beautiful and will not hurt anyone. You can try it at night."
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look at the thing in his hand. Could this be what the ancestors were talking about?
But isn't this an incense stick?
"I wonder what the ancestors were referring to?"
Gu Xingzhao smiled: "It's the thing in your hand."
Lu Qing: "."
At this time, the two brothers Lu Zhou and Lu Yang were still arguing about what they should buy to honor their ancestors when they arrived in Ji County.
Lu Zhou: "We should buy some food offerings. This is how people in the mortal world offer food. This is to show our sincerity."
Lu Yang didn't care. "Although the food is good, other people have never seen a real god. Ours is real. How can we just make some food casually? Jewels must be better!"
The old ancestor had helped the Lu family a lot, so if they just offered food as an offering, it would be too shabby.
Gu Xingzhao squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Yang. It is still this second son of the Lu family who I like the most.
Xu also felt that her husband's words made sense. If she were still in the capital, she would definitely go to her mother's home's treasure pavilion and carefully select a few items to offer to the ancestors.
The treasure pavilion of her mother's family is the best in the whole capital. It has all kinds of rare things. Whatever the palace has, her Xu family has too. Whatever the palace doesn't have, her Xu family also has.
What a pity.
Lu Qing coughed lightly and stuffed the things back into his grandson's hands. "They are just some toys. You can play with them with your brothers and sisters later. Take these and light one end with fire."
"Ah?" Lu Xingyao was confused.
He looked at the thing in his hand, with a bunch of question marks in his mind: ???
Isn't this actually an incense stick?
"Then do we still have to offer tribute in two days?" Lu Xingyao asked his grandfather.
Gu Xingzhao also pricked up his ears immediately. He was so happy when he heard that the Lu family wanted to offer tribute. It would be impossible for the tribute points that were about to be obtained to be lost again, right?
