"Look at you guys. You're so scared over such a small matter!”Old Mrs. Wu turned around and shook her head."If this old thing was still here, everyone would have to kneel in the ancestral hall tonight!”
"Mom, calm down. It's not worth it.”Bai Su walked up to support the old man and said with a smile,""The kitchen has already prepared the food. Let's eat. Today is our family's first reunion dinner.”
"Yes!" The old man patted his daughter-in-law's hand and nodded with a smile."Let's eat!"
The Wu family had the smallest population compared to the other eight families of the Nine Factions, so a large table was more than enough. Looking at the reunion scene in front of her, the old lady sighed in her heart.
If only that old thing could see this scene. She knew that the old thing probably dreamed of a family reunion. The result was only realized this year, and he would never see it again.
In the next few days, Wu Yu did not run around with Third Uncle Tian. Instead, she stayed in the old mansion and accompanied Old Lady Wu. While learning the domestication techniques developed by her grandfather, Old Dog Wu, she talked with the old man every day about cultivation and self-cultivation. In just a few days, Wu Yu found that the evil aura in her body had been relieved.
This made him understand what it meant for a writer to have a treasure when he was old.
It was a pity that peaceful and ordinary days were destined to be extravagant for people like them. Wherever there were people, it was the martial world.
On the first day of the new year, the whole family stood in front of the ancestral hall. Old Lady Wu solemnly presided over the ceremony of acknowledging her ancestors.
At the same time, after the people of the Nine Gates learned that Wu Yu had returned to the sect this year, they all came to visit with gifts. Even the line of Lord Zhang and the Hong family, who did not care about the world, sent representatives. At this point, Wu Yu had completely stepped into the eyes of the Nine Gates.
Finally, Wu Yu and her mother kowtowed to their ancestors. After completing the ceremony, they wrote their names on the Wu family's genealogy.
" The Wu family's precious jade…" A middle-aged man smiled inexplicably and said to a woman beside him with some ill intentions,""I just don't know what our naive nephew will do!”
"Don't worry, the Nine Gates are of the same blood. If Nephew Tian suffers any grievances, come to Aunt. The Huo family will help you!”A woman from the Huo family smiled and said softly.
The two of them seemed to want to whisper again, but everyone present could hear their voices. For a moment, many people looked like they were watching a good show.
However, there were also people who had indifferent expressions, as if they did not participate in it. However, they also looked at Wu Yu and Wu Tianzhen, sizing them up.
Wu Yu did not say anything. She just stood beside Old Lady Wu with her head lowered, playing with the White Emperor Jade Pendant in her hand.
As for Wu Tianzhen, it seemed as if he hadn't noticed anything. He wanted to say something to the man and woman beside him, but the man frowned silently and gently tugged at Wu Tianzhen.
Wu Tianzhen seemed to come back to his senses at this moment. He looked at the gazes of the people around him and felt a little confused and embarrassed. He looked at the woman from the Huo family and smiled."That…you don't have to worry about that, Auntie Huo.”
"Hehe, alright! Since Eldest Nephew had his own ideas, then YiNiang would naturally support him!”The woman from the Huo family nodded with a smile.
Seeing Wu Tian like this, many people subconsciously shook their heads.
Even his father, Wu Yiqiong, was the same. However, Bai Su, who was beside him, slapped his thigh when she saw this. You actually shook your head when you saw your son make a fool of himself?
Towards this, Wu Yiqiong could only smile bitterly. What else could he do? This little rascal had been against him since he was young. The entire Wu family was close to Third Brother, that bastard. There was also Old Madam Wu protecting him. What else could he do?
Wu Yu, who originally did not intend to stand out, could not help but sigh when she felt the anger in the old lady's heart. She raised her head and glanced at the Huo family's people.
He raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence!
"Grandma!"
Wu Yu gently patted the old man's arm and smiled.""Grandson and mother have been looking forward to acknowledging their ancestors for a long time. Today, our wish has finally come true.”
As he spoke, he took out a box from behind and continued,"However, as a junior, it is really inappropriate for Little Yu to come and visit all the elders after so long, so I prepared a gift with my mother early to express my sincerity.”
"Silly child!" When Old Mrs. Wu heard this, she was so happy that her face almost turned into a flower."This old woman doesn't lack anything, so why did you make that thing?”
"This is a small token from mother and grandson. I hope grandma will accept it.”Wu Yu smiled and said," I've always heard from my father that Grandma hasn't been sleeping well in recent years, so my friend who was dragging the boat helped me find some things. In the future, I'll have more at home. It's okay if I run out. My friend still has some."”
As he spoke, he took out a tray from the first layer of the box. On it were nine pieces of black mud that seemed to be rotten, but the white thing below could be vaguely seen.
The smallest one was the size of a fist, and the largest one was half the size of a basketball.
"Pfft, what is this? It's a chemical weapon. It stinks!”The middle-aged man who was the first to speak sneered with a look of disdain.
Wu Yu smiled when she heard that. She looked at the other party and shook her head."I came in a hurry, so I kept it wet. It's better to dry it when Grandma uses it.”
Then, he rubbed the soil off with both hands. As she revealed her true appearance bit by bit, the entire living room was filled with a faint fragrance. It was thick but not greasy, and she could not help but relax.
"Ambergris!" An old man who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes. Especially when he saw the nine pieces and how big they were, he could not help but swallow his saliva.
Even the emperors of ancient times could only use it a limited number of times a year.
After burning it, it could calm one's mind, help one sleep, and purify the air. It also had many other effects! For example, it could expel poisonous insects, keep the room dry, and even have a certain antiseptic effect!
However, it was too extravagant to use this to preserve food.
In modern times, ambergris was a spice that was equal to gold paintings. However, while gold had a price, ambergris was priceless!
The conditions for its birth were extremely harsh. It was a little like a cow's yellow dog treasure. It could only exist in the belly of a large deep-sea animal in the deep sea.
Not only was the probability extremely low, but the most important thing was that the nine pieces of ambergris that Wu Yu had rubbed off the soil to reveal their original appearance were actually a faint milky white!
Ambergris of this color could only appear in the belly of a sperm whale. Moreover, to be able to have such a big body, it was likely that it had been around for an even longer period of time!
Nine pieces of ambergris from the sperm whale. It was definitely a priceless treasure!
