The system reminded her again, and Gu Xingzhao had to move further away, muttering to herself, could I be a monster or a poison?
As a result, she found that she had only walked a few steps away, and Lu Xingyan's heartbeat, which was just over 160, had gradually dropped, slowly becoming smooth, and finally the red warning turned into green safety.
She turned her head and stared at Lu Xingyan, and he was still calm, as if the heartbeat of 160 just now was just her own illusion.
Good boy...
"..." Gu Xingzhao had never been so speechless in her life.
At this moment, she even wanted to take back the red envelope she had given out, feeling as if she was being despised.
In fact, even Lu Xingyan himself didn't know that every time the old ancestor approached, his body would involuntarily tense up, and the blood in his body seemed to boil and surge uncontrollably, so that sometimes he felt breathless and very uncomfortable.
Just now, the feeling of depression and tension disappeared, and he knew that the ancestor had gone, along with the fragrance that he thought was snow.
At this time, Lu Qing took out the only two pairs of earrings from his arms and discussed with his son and daughter-in-law, "Our Lu family has never worshipped gods, let alone this ancestor, but the ancestor has helped us a lot. As a father, I feel very ashamed and want to offer these two pairs of earrings to the ancestor... What do you think?"
In fact, the Lu family members are all centered on the old man, and he can decide on such matters by himself, but after all, this is a valuable item in the Lu family, so Lu Qing thought that everyone should discuss it together.
The son and daughter-in-law naturally agreed.
Song: "The ancestors have helped us in times of crisis many times, and this is what we should do."
Lu Zhou nodded.
Lu Yang frowned, "But these are just two pairs of earrings, and they are used... Aren't they too shabby?"
I don't know if this ancestor will mind.
Several people were silent for a moment. Lu Qing was also melancholy, clenching the two pairs of earrings in his hands. He was also worried that offering used things would offend the ancestors, but he couldn't just accept the kindness of the ancestors for no reason. This was definitely not the etiquette of the Lu family.
At this time, Xu suddenly took out an oval jade pendant from nowhere and placed it in front of several people.
The jade pendant was yellowish-white, with a layer of seed skin with water-like patterns precipitated at the bottom. It was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.
Song was dumbfounded, "Second brother's wife... where did you get this..."
No one expected that Xu actually had such a good piece of jade hidden on her body.
Xu's eyes flickered a little: "My mother gave it to me on the day I left the city. I wanted to keep it for use in the north, but now I might as well use it first."
The jade pendant was indeed given to her by her mother on the day she left the city. It was also a good intention for her to leave it to the Lu family after she left.
But because she didn't leave, she kept it on her body. Halfway through, her father asked her to take out valuable items to exchange for something. She had other plans in mind at the time, so she didn't take it out. Later, when she saw everyone suffering, there was no suitable time.
Now she took out the things, and she saw that everyone was well fed and warmly dressed. If she could please the old ancestor, and her future life would be as good as it is now, then she should take out the pendant now.
But at this moment, she was actually a little twisted in her heart, after all, she was afraid that everyone would think she was hiding something...
Lu Yang was heartless and thought it was great that his wife could take out such a good thing at this time. He hugged his wife and said with a smile, "My wife is really far-sighted! I said that this family must be yours. Look, thanks to you, my wife, now we have something to offer to the old ancestor!"
Xu smiled.
Song was simple-minded and didn't think about other things. After all, Xu had been the housekeeper for more than ten years, and her sister-in-law really didn't do as well as others. "Second brother's wife is far-sighted."
Lu Zhou has always ignored money and other things. As long as there is something to offer to the ancestors, it doesn't matter where the thing comes from.
As the head of the family, Lu Qing is old and his mind is clearer than anyone else. When the family encounters such a disaster, who can not plan for the future?
Not to mention that the second brother's wife took the thing out now, it is also appropriate for her to keep it. After all, it is a thoughtful thing left to her by her mother.
He asked in a deep voice, "If you offer this jade pendant up, you will not get it back. Have you thought about it?"
Xu nodded, "My daughter-in-law is from a merchant family and has never read any books, but she is trusted by my father. She has been a housekeeper for more than ten years. Now I can only take out such a small vulgar thing... I hope my father will accept it and offer it to the ancestors, and thank the ancestors for their protection on behalf of my daughter-in-law."
Gu Xingzhao, who was still struggling with Lu Xingyan's old and broken body, heard the system's prompt sound in his ears:
[Collected the gratitude of Xu Mingzhu, a member of the Lu family, and the offering value +20! ]
Gu Xingzhao didn't care about Lu Xingyan at this moment, and walked quickly to the old man. She remembered that Xu Mingzhu seemed to be the old man's second daughter-in-law, and her family was very rich. Unexpectedly, she quietly added 20 offerings!
You know, during this period of time, only Lu Qing had such a high offering.
She was really surprised.
When she came over, she caught a glimpse of several people from the Lu family sitting together, whispering about something. She was about to ask a question when she heard Lu Qing calling her.
Lu Qing: I wonder if the ancestors are still here?
Gu Xingzhao replied, "I'm here, what's the matter?"
Lu Qing: The ancestors have helped us many times, and our whole family is very grateful, so we prepared a few things to offer to you, but there is no offering table or incense burner here, I don't know how to offer it? Gu Xingzhao
was surprised, is there something to offer to me?
The next moment, the system's voice sounded again, [The Lu family's offerings have been received: one white jade seed material, tax of 3,000, two pairs of jasper earrings, tax of 1,000. ]
At this time, the Lu family members widened their eyes and mouths, even forgot to breathe, rubbed their eyes, and saw that the two pairs of earrings and the yellow and white jade that were just on the ground disappeared in an instant!
Xu's fingers trembled: "?"
Is this an offering?
Lu Yang, Song and others were so excited that they couldn't speak, their faces flushed. Even
Lu Qing, who had seen it before, was shocked again.
When the things appeared in his hands, Gu Xingzhao was amazed, especially the white jade, she couldn't let it go, "What is this white jade?"
Lu Qing answered truthfully: This jade was offered by the second daughter-in-law of the younger generation, Song, to thank the ancestors for their blessings.
"I like this jade pendant very much. Please thank her for me."
Gu Xingzhao's smile almost reached the ceiling. Although she didn't know much about jade, she could tell that this piece of white jade was a good thing. It was about the size of two thumbs, like an oily lump, and the oval shape felt very good to the touch. The jade was fine and there was no crack at all. Only the top was drilled and a rope was passed through.
Because she really liked it so much, she was happy just touching it, so she didn't care at all that the system charged her 4,000 yuan in taxes.
