Xie Lanzhi put one hand around Qin Shu's waist and stared at his sixth uncle with his dark eyes.
He just said calmly: "I don't understand what you mean."
The Sixth Uncle blew his beard and glared, "Don't play dumb with me! My Qin family's ancestors can't bear your kneeling! This is ridiculous!
Since ancient times, only those whose main star in the fate palace is Ziwei, that is, the most noble and noble emperor star, can avoid kneeling when worshiping the ancestors of our Qin family! "
"..." Xie Lanzhi was speechless.
He said modestly, "You don't need to think too much. In my opinion, the phenomenon is very likely a coincidence."
"You know shit!"
Seeing his upright, proud and self-contained appearance, Sixth Uncle said unhappily.
He turned to look at Qin Shu and asked in a deep voice, "Ah Shu, what do you think?"
Qin Shu pursed her lips and smiled: "Sixth Uncle, you may have forgotten that the one in power now is Old Qi, but the Xie family has a status and power that is not inferior to the Qi family.
The Xie family is a family of three generations of red, glorious family. In ancient times, they would have been royal nobles. The world is different now, but the people at the top may have things that we don’t understand.”
Although Xie Lanzhi is not an emperor star, his future goal is to hold great power. In ancient times, that would be an emperor star.
Sixth Uncle pulled his beard and fell into deep thought, his face was so twisted that it was almost wrinkled into a bun.
The Qin family urged from behind: "Sixth Uncle, it's time for us to burn incense. If you have anything to say, wait until the ancestor worship ceremony is over."
The Sixth Uncle put aside his doubts and led the family members to burn incense and worship in turn to show respect for their ancestors.
After the ceremony, the two most senior elders of the Qin family brought out the Qin family genealogy.
Holding the retro wolf-hair brush, the Sixth Uncle dipped it in ink, found the 38th generation descendant of the Qin family, that is, to the right of Qin Shu, and wrote Xie Lanzhi's name in the blank space.
After the last stroke was made, Sixth Uncle stopped with great dignity.
He turned to the Qin clan and announced loudly: "From today on, Xie Lanzhi officially becomes a member of the Qin family, and shares the family glory with him!"
“Pah, pah, pah—!”
Everyone applauded to celebrate Xie Lanzhi's joining.
Father Qin patted Xie Lanzhi's arm and said with a smile on his face: "Xie's boy, although your surname is still Xie, you are now a member of our Qin family. You must be good to my Ah Shu in the future, otherwise I will punish you according to the Qin family rules."
Xie Lanzhi's expression became serious, and he said firmly: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely treat Ah Shu well."
Father Qin nodded with a bright smile: "This is best."
The other members of the Qin family came forward one after another and said, "I didn't look carefully before, Commander Xie's son is very handsome and worthy of a beautiful girl like our Ah Shu."
"Who says it's not true? The man is handsome and the woman is pretty. They are a perfect match made in heaven."
"Jianguo, congratulations, you have a new son in your family!"
Qin Jianguo was soon surrounded by a group of peers.
Qin Shu took the opportunity to pull Xie Lanzhi away. Before they even reached the door, they were surrounded by a group of half-grown children.
"Welcome your cousin-in-law to become a member of our Qin family. You and Sister Shu will live a long life in the future!"
"Brother-in-law! Do you have a gun?"
"Of course there is! My mom said my cousin's husband is a high-ranking military officer, a very powerful one!"
"In the photo of my great uncle from my sixth uncle's family, he is holding a very big gun! Does my cousin's husband have one too?"
The group of children were chattering, each with an innocent and childish face.
The boy looked up at Xie Lanzhi with admiration, the same passionate look as if he were looking at an idol.
As for the girls, they are more reserved.
However, their attention was also on whether Xie Lanzhi had a gun.
Qin Shu raised her hand to her forehead and said in a neither loud nor soft voice: "Be quiet, you guys are making my head hurt!"
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the children seemed to have been paused and immediately shut their mouths.
When Xie Lanzhi saw this scene, his eyebrows slightly raised.
He put his arm around Qin Shu's lower back and poked her delicate little waist lightly with his fingertips.
Qin Shu's waist softened and she raised her head suddenly: "Behave yourself too!"
Xie Lanzhi pursed his lips and smiled softly, and said softly in a low and magnetic voice: "Okay——"
His smile was so handsome that Qin Shu's angry expression disappeared instantly.
In order to hide her unnatural expression, she lowered her eyes to look at the children in front of her: "Your cousin's husband is no longer an officer. He is the second in command of Yunzhen, a very powerful official."
"Wow!!!"
A teenager opened his mouth and exclaimed.
Then, he asked curiously, "Is my brother-in-law's gun bigger than that of my sixth uncle's?"
The childish voice, tinged with excitement, reached Qin Hairui's ears clearly as he walked over.
He joked, "What are you talking about? What gun? You guys have really grown up and can even tell dirty jokes!"
However, the gun that Qin Shu and the others were discussing was not this gun or that gun.
Qin Hairui not only misunderstood, but also lowered his eyes slightly, scanning Xie Lanzhi's abdomen covered by the robe... and the area a little lower.
Being stared at like this by his brother-in-law, Xie Lanzhi inadvertently turned sideways and used Qin Shu's petite body to hide himself.
A blush rose on Qin Shu's cheeks and she glared at Qin Hairui fiercely.
"What are you talking about! We are talking about guns!"
“……”Qin Hairui.
He blinked, then quickly reacted, looking stiffly at his cousins whose eyes were clear and pure.
"Ahem..." Qin Hairui coughed and made amends in a very natural tone: "I'm talking about firearms. They are very dangerous. Don't ask about them."
One of the tall boys, with a teasing look in his eyes, tilted his head and asked in a puzzled manner:
"Why use dirty jokes to describe dangerous things?"
“……”The corners of Qin Hairui’s lips twitched.
He could say that he had misunderstood and thought they were discussing men, who were born with guns!
Qin Hairui stammered, "Well, the army's firearms are very valuable and dangerous, and every bullet will be stained with the enemy's blood.
Yes! That's it! You are all children, you shouldn't discuss such dangerous topics. "
Qin Shu couldn't help but chuckle as she listened to her eldest brother's irrelevant explanation.
She took the opportunity to pull Xie Lanzhi away from this group of cousins who had a million questions.
"Brother Lan! Sister-in-law! We are here!"
As the two men stepped out of the Qin family's ancestral hall, Amuti, who was standing under a tree smoking, shouted.
He threw the cigarette on the ground, crushed it casually with his toes, and quickly walked over with Lang Ye beside him.
Amuti glanced at the Qin family members gathered in the ancestral hall and asked in a low voice: "Brother Lan, when are we leaving?"
Xie Lanzhi lowered his eyes to look at Qin Shu: "Ah Shu, what do you think?"
Qin Shu rubbed her belly which was constantly moving and said calmly, "Wait a little longer until my parents come out and say goodbye to them before leaving."
"Okay—" Xie Lanzhi rubbed her hair.
Lang Ye still felt horrified and puzzled by the previous weather anomaly. He asked excitedly:
"Sister-in-law, what happened just now?"
"There was thunder and lightning, strong winds, and heavy rain."
He pointed to the night sky: "It's all quiet now, even the moon and stars are out."
Qin Shu looked up at the starry night sky and said softly, "Maybe it's a coincidence."
She couldn't explain such a vision either. There were always some things in this world that could not be explained.
Lang Ye watched the ancestor worship process and suddenly urged, "Brother Lan, we were far away just now and didn't see it clearly. Do you want to try again? Let's see if it's just a coincidence or if there's any explanation?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Amuti kicked him: "Are you itching for trouble? What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lang Ye scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I'm just curious."
To be honest, Amuti was also very curious, but he didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
The conversation between the two aroused Qin Shu's interest. She looked up at Xie Lanzhi, who had an unexpected look on his face.
Her voice was charming and gentle: "How about you try it again? Satisfy Langye's curiosity?"
If it was someone else who made such a request, Xie Lanzhi would probably pull out his gun and point it at the other person's forehead.
However, it was Qin Shu who spoke at this time, and the displeasure on Xie Lanzhi's face was replaced by a hint of helplessness.
He pinched Qin Shu's lower back and said, "They are making a fuss, why are you joining in the fun?"
Qin Shu: "Actually, this is the first time I've seen this kind of phenomenon. Even my grandfather had never seen it when he was alive. It feels quite novel."
She hugged Xie Lanzhi's arm, rocked him gently, and began to act coquettishly.
"It's just once, I also want to verify it."
She couldn't explain why, but she naturally had the idea of letting Xie Lanzhi try again.
This feeling came inexplicably, just a fleeting flash of inspiration.
Xie Lanzhi, who always responded to Qin Shu's requests, compromised again this time.
However, he did not execute it immediately, but waved to Amuti and Langye.
"Go and get my clothes."
Langye and Amuti looked at each other and thought, it doesn’t take two people to get the clothes.
Xie Lanzhi lowered his brows: "What are you dawdling for? Go quickly!"
Amuti and Langye left with dazed expressions, looking back from time to time, feeling that something was fishy.
After they walked away, Xie Lanzhi leaned close to Qin Shu's ear and said in a seductive voice, "I will satisfy Ah Shu's little request, and you will also let me get what I want once, okay?"
His index finger, which had gun calluses on it, stroked Qin Shu's lips from time to time.
It seems to be hinting at something veiledly.
Qin Shu didn't react at first, until Xie Lanzhi further tested her and wanted to stretch out his fingers to check her teeth, when suddenly an idea came to her.
Her charming eyes were filled with ripples, and she stared at Xie Lanzhi in extreme shock, looking into his black pupils that were filled with darkness, desire, plunder and expectation.
Qin Shu said angrily: "You...you are too inhuman! I'm still pregnant and can't eat!"
Xie Lanzhi didn't expect Qin Shu to be so bold and say it out loud.
He concealed the evil look in his eyes, looked a little helpless, and gently put his arm around Qin Shu's waist.
"Keep your voice down, someone will hear you."
Qin Shu glared at him and snorted proudly, "You are so shameless, are you still afraid of being found out?"
