Chapter 998: Ancestor Worship Ceremony

Ye Chen returned to his room with Xiao Churan, and then connected to Gu Qiuyi's video call, asking her, "Hey, Nannan."

"Brother Ye Chen!" In the video, Gu Qiuyi, wearing a home pajama dress, waved excitedly at Ye Chen.

Gu Qiuyi in the video did not wear makeup, and her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Without the aura of a top star, she looked more like a neighbor girl who was beautiful beyond compare.

At this time, she asked happily in the video, "Brother Ye Chen, what are you busy with?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Not busy with anything. The New Year is coming soon, right? I'm just preparing some New Year goods at home."

Gu Qiuyi smiled happily, "Hee hee, me too! This year we returned to the old house in Houhai for the New Year!"

As she spoke, she switched the camera to show the surrounding environment; sure enough, she was in that Sihe Academy belonging to the Gu family.

Ye Chen couldn't help but ask, "Nannan, your family's courtyard house is so large, is it a bit deserted for a family of three to spend the New Year?"

"No!" Gu Qiuyi smiled, "This year I'm spending the New Year with my second uncle and third uncle's families. There are three big families in total, it's quite lively."

Ye Chen nodded, thinking of her second uncle and third uncle, and couldn't help but ask, "Nannan, how have your second uncle and third uncle been performing lately? Have they caused any trouble for your family again?"

Gu Qiuyi hurriedly said, "No, no! The attitudes of my second uncle and third uncle's families have been very good lately. They run to our house every three days, and every time they go, they bring big and small bags of various gifts!"

"Oh, by the way, returning to the old house for the New Year this year was also suggested by them to my dad, saying that the whole family hasn't spent the New Year together happily for a long time, so they wanted to spend it together, and my dad agreed."

Ye Chen knew that Gu Qiuyi's second uncle Gu Yanzheng, third uncle Gu Yangang, and their sons were still in a state of loss of fertility. During this time, it was easy to guess that they must be very honest.

After all, they were still counting on pleasing Gu Yanzhong's family and then getting his forgiveness.

Previously, they had signed an agreement with Gu Yanzhong that everything would follow the lead of Gu Yanzhong, the eldest brother, so they couldn't make any waves now.

So, Ye Chen said with satisfaction, "That's good. If these two uncles of yours still have bad intentions, you must tell me immediately."

Gu Qiuyi nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother Ye Chen, wait a moment, I'm going to my parents' room, they also have something to say to you!"

Ye Chen hurriedly instructed, "Put on more clothes, this dress looks like it's for summer, don't catch a cold."

Gu Qiuyi smiled sweetly, "I won't catch a cold, because the whole courtyard house is equipped with floor heating, the heat is sufficient, and the room is always around 28 degrees."

Ye Chen was relieved.

In his mind, Gu Qiuyi is not so much a fiancée with a marriage contract and the promise of parents, but rather a little sister who has been clinging to him since she was a child.

Therefore, Ye Chen is also particularly concerned about her.

Gu Qiuyi in the video ran all the way, passed through the large hall, and came to the room of Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu.

Gu Yanzhong was drinking tea and reading at the desk at this time. Lin Wanqiu burned a furnace of fine sandalwood incense and brought the incense burner to Gu Yanzhong's desk. Seeing Gu Qiuyi running in in a hurry at this time, she hurriedly instructed, "Nannan, be careful, don't fall!"

Gu Qiuyi said excitedly, "Mom, I'm video calling Brother Ye Chen!"

As soon as Gu Yanzhong heard the words Ye Chen, he immediately put down the book in his hand and asked excitedly, "Are you video calling Chen'er? Hurry, hurry, let me say a few words to him!"

Gu Qiuyi hurriedly placed the mobile phone on the desk, with both the camera and the screen facing Gu Yanzhong.

Gu Yanzhong's complexion was very good at this time, and his whole state was also very young. Seeing Ye Chen in the video, he immediately smiled and said, "Chen'er! How have you been in Jin Ling lately?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Back to Uncle Gu, everything is fine. How are you and Aunt Lin?"

"Good! We are very good!" Gu Yanzhong nodded repeatedly. At this time, Lin Wanqiu stood beside him, looked at Ye Chen on the screen, and smiled, "Chen'er, when are you coming to Yanjing to stay for a few days? Your Uncle Gu has been missing you very much lately, basically nagging about you several times a day, making my ears almost grow calluses."

Ye Chen smiled, "Uncle Gu, Aunt Lin, after I finish the work at hand, I will take time to go to Yanjing to see you two."

Gu Qiuyi, who was on the other side of Gu Yanzhong, hurriedly muttered dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by seeing you two? What about me? Don't you need to see me?"

Ye Chen hurriedly smiled, "See, of course I have to see, it was a slip of the tongue. When I have time, I will go back to see you and Uncle Gu and Aunt Lin! Are you satisfied now?"

Gu Qiuyi hummed triumphantly, "That's more like it!"

At this time, Gu Yanzhong said, "By the way, Chen'er, I heard that your aunt went to Jin Ling?"

"Yes." Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Uncle Gu, have you heard about it?"

Gu Yanzhong smiled and said, "Your grandfather called me this morning and told me about you and your aunt."

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "Does he know that I have met you?"

Gu Yanzhong shook his head, "He doesn't know yet, so he also thinks I haven't received your message, so he told me about you."

Ye Chen asked puzzled, "Why does he want to tell you these things?"

Gu Yanzhong smiled, "Looking at his meaning, it is mainly to tell me your news, and then ask me if I am still willing to fulfill the promise I made with your father back then, and let you and Nannan get married."

Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a burst of embarrassment in his heart.

It seems that his grandfather's meaning is probably to get him back to the Ye family and then let him marry Gu Qiuyi.

At this time, Gu Yanzhong also saw Ye Chen's embarrassment and hurriedly said, "Chen'er, don't have any pressure about this matter. I just told your grandfather that I am willing to fulfill the promise, but I also said that this matter must respect the children's wishes."

As he said this, Gu Yanzhong added, "Chen'er, you should still follow your own pace. Since I said that our family will wait for you for three years, we will definitely wait for you for three years."

Ye Chen nodded gently and said, "Uncle Gu, thank you for your understanding..."

Gu Yanzhong waved his hand and said, "Uncle Gu's life was saved by you, you don't have to be so polite with me."

Immediately, Gu Yanzhong added, "Oh, by the way, your grandfather also asked me to persuade you. You and your aunt are family after all, don't be so angry, and don't hurt the harmony."

Ye Chen said, "Uncle Gu, my aunt is too arrogant, and my grandfather doesn't give her the necessary restraint. When she arrived in Jin Ling, she ordered me around, was overbearing, and even went to my mother-in-law to make trouble, which was really too arrogant."

Gu Yanzhong nodded and said, "Your aunt is famous for being difficult to deal with in Yanjing. I didn't expect you to cure her when she went to Jin Ling."

Ye Chen said indifferently, "If she wasn't too much, I wouldn't want to be as knowledgeable as her."

Gu Yanzhong smiled slightly and said, "Your grandfather also wants me to persuade you. If you have time, go back to the Ye family to see. After the Spring Festival this year, and after the Lantern Festival, it will be March soon. He hopes you can come back during the Qingming Festival and participate in the ancestor worship ceremony held by the Ye family at Ye Ling Mountain with him."

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "Hold an ancestor worship ceremony?"

"Yes." Gu Yanzhong said, "Your Ye family originally holds an ancestor worship ceremony every twelve years, which happens to be this year. And Ye Ling Mountain has been developed for more than three years, and it was only completed last spring. It was only in the autumn that the Ye family moved their ancestral graves there, so this year's Qingming Festival is also the first Qingming Festival since the Ye family's ancestral graves were moved to Ye Ling Mountain."

"So your grandfather wants to hold a grand ancestor worship ceremony. At that time, not only your big family surnamed Ye, but also dozens of Ye surname branches across the country will go to participate. You are the eldest son and grandson of the Ye family, he hopes you can be present, and by the way, formally worship your parents." ===== CHAPTER 1000 =====
