Chapter 150: Incense Burns and Gods Pass By
The gold ingots that Zhang gave her solved her urgent need at that time.
Tu Huan put down her pen, supported her hands behind her back, and tilted her head to look at them. The system silently helped her adjust the sound clarity so that she could hear clearly even from a distance.
When Zhang mentioned it, Zhou also remembered the ingot she had received last time and couldn't help laughing.
"You're just remembering this now?"
"That's not the case." Zhang waved her hand gently. "It's just that this stinking money is sandwiched between everyone's good things and can't be put on the table."
"The gift is small but the sentiment is great, no."
"Um."
Tu Huan peeled another piece of spicy beef and looked at Zhang.
From her interactions with the Xie family, she had a favorable impression of the Second Lady, who was smart and casual in her actions and speech.
Among all the offerings, the ones she gave were very practical. As she had said before, yellow and white things might be tacky, but Zhang didn't know that this tacky look was just right for her at that time.
Although, because of that gold ingot, some minor troubles arose later.
But that was her own problem and had nothing to do with Yuanbao.
She secretly observed Zhang's expression and found that besides her carefree and indifferent smile, a hint of uneasiness occasionally flashed across her eyes.
Tu Huan thought for a while with a gloomy look in her eyes.
Spent some energy and bought some small functions.
Raise your hand and send out a breeze...
Zhang was adjusting her clothes when a breeze blew across her left cheek like water, carrying a hint of sandalwood in the breeze!
Where does the burning fragrance come from?
Zhang thought she had smelled it wrongly, raised her head in confusion, and took a deep breath.
Seeing her strange expression, Zhou put down her work and asked her, "What's wrong?"
"Do you smell anything?" Zhang looked at them.
Upon hearing this, everyone put down their work and sniffed the air twice, but they did not smell the fragrance that Zhang described.
"Second Aunt, what kind of fragrance is that?" Ruan asked curiously.
"It's the same fragrance as the incense burning in the family ancestral hall on weekdays!"
When several people heard her say this, they looked at each other in confusion.
"The aroma in the family ancestral hall?"
The women looked at each other, and suddenly no one spoke.
Tu Huan hugged her knees and held her chin up to her hands as she looked at them. Several people suddenly fell silent, and only exchanged glances in the quiet air.
Tu Huan couldn't help but lower her head and raise the corners of her lips. Without Xie Yuchuan's divine ability to act as a bridge, she really couldn't communicate directly with other people in the Xie family.
However, after the upgrade, Tu Huan also has more ways to play.
Especially since she had just gotten a fun thing today, maybe she could try it out on other people in the Xie family before taking Xie Yuchuan on an adventure.
After an unknown amount of silence, a soft voice rang out.
"Why is there burning incense?"
Everyone blinked and nodded in unison.
Yes, why are there incense burning?
Zhou looked at Zhang and said, "We didn't smell it. Did we smell it wrongly?"
Zhang thought she had smelled it wrongly, and took another deep breath of the cool night air. The burning incense was still there!
"Yes, I often accompany my mother to the temple to burn incense. How could I smell it wrong?"
Zhang was sure she smelled sandalwood.
"Could it be...?"
Zhou thought of a possibility and suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at her sister-in-law Zhang.
Zhang's expression was stern: "!"
A possible "answer" also emerged in the minds of the women of the Xie family.
Zhang looked at her eldest sister-in-law in disbelief.
Zhou gently grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't be nervous."
Zhang nodded heavily, but her expression couldn't help but become nervous.
I feel extremely regretful.
When her mother was still alive, she always said that her outspoken nature would easily lead to bad things. She never took it to heart before, wondering how she could change her natural nature.
Now Zhang regretted it. She shouldn't have talked about offerings so late at night, and she shouldn't have talked about the gods behind their backs.
A trace of regret flashed across Zhang's eyes, and Zhou shook her head at her in relief, "It's okay, it's okay. Look, Yuchuan offended me when I was little, but even when I grew up, the family god never blamed me."
This sentence comforted the panicked Zhang very well.
Tu Huan felt a little sorry. She didn't mean to scare the women of the Xie family, but... it seemed that her method was a bit rash.
She was thinking about how to remedy the situation. It was okay to show a little miracle, but it would be bad if it scared people.
Zhang came back to her senses after Zhou's reminder, and the tension in her body suddenly relaxed a little.
yes!
Since he was little, Liu Lang almost offended all the ancestors and family gods in the ancestral hall, but the gods of the Xie family did not abandon him. In the most critical moment, the family gods also appeared to protect them.
Zhang lowered her voice and said, "Sister-in-law, did I just... say something wrong?"
Is that why you summoned the household god?
Her mind is a little confused now.
Zhou asked, "No, we were just talking about offerings."
"Then is it that the gold and silver I offered are inappropriate?"
"That's even more impossible. If the family god was unhappy, he would have told Yuchuan last time."
"Too."
Zhou had dealt with many difficult matters, but she had never dealt with something like the one she dealt with with her brother's sister-in-law Zhang.
She held Zhang's hand, raised her body and looked towards where Xie Yuchuan was resting, "How about asking Yuchuan to get up and ask?"
"Goodbye, he's been tired these past two days, don't wake him up, let him have a good rest."
"and you……"
"I'm fine. Our own family god won't harm me." Zhang said confidently, silently apologizing to the family god in her heart.
She really shouldn't talk about the gods' preferences behind their backs.
Tu Huan couldn't hear the voice in her heart, but she saw Zhang's expression gradually relaxing.
The third lady and Ruan looked at Zhou and then at Zhang.
On the other side, Xie Zhenzheng and Xie Wuying were recounting their food and drink. Turning back, they caught a glimpse of the silent and strange expressions on the faces of the elders on their mother's side.
"There seems to be something going on over there. I'll leave this to you. I'll go over there."
"Second sister, you are busy." Xie Wuying said.
Xie Zhen came back and sat down next to his mother, Shen, and his eldest sister-in-law, Ruan. He asked quietly, "What's wrong with you? I saw you guys were silent from next door."
Mrs. Shen didn't answer her, but Mrs. Ruan looked up at her mysteriously and asked, "Sister Zhen, do you smell anything?"
As soon as she spoke, she attracted the attention of Zhou and Zhang.
Especially Zhang, who stared at her with burning eyes.
Xie Zhen straightened up unconsciously under the gazes of several people. His beautiful eyes swept across everyone's faces. He obediently took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled nervously under the scorching gazes...
What does it taste like?
No!
As soon as Zhang saw the confused expression on Xie Zhen's face, she knew that she had not smelled the sandalwood either. She sighed with disappointment in her eyes.
Xie Zhen:?
Who can come and explain to her what is going on? !
It was her sister-in-law Ruan who explained to her, "Second Aunt seemed to smell burning incense just now."
"Ah?" Xie Zhen was stunned. "What are you burning incense for?"
"It's the kind of fragrance you get from burning incense."
Xie Zhen:!!!
"The house god is here?"
Several people looked up and stared at her at the same time, and Xie Zhen blurted out what no one dared to say.
