Chapter 259 I Can't Stop It (11)

At this time, the music with the ancient atmosphere sounded.

A group of dancers dressed as priests appeared, dancing strange dance steps and muttering words. They all wore hideous masks on their faces, like ghosts and gods.

As they danced, they came to Mu Qingge and surrounded her.

The whisk in her hand swept across her body from time to time, and she grabbed clean water with her hand and sprinkled it on Mu Qingge's head, her body...

After a while, the dancers withdrew.

The official said: "Mu Qingge, come to the stage!"

Mu Qingge obeyed and stepped up the steps and onto the platform.

The platform was still covered with a red carpet, and there was a long table on it, offering three livestock and six animals, as well as incense candles.

A few years ago, there was a futon, which was prepared for Mu Qingge.

She walked to the futon and knelt on her legs.

Then, I recited the ancient words that I had memorized yesterday.

After she finished reciting, the ritual officer stepped forward, opened the genealogy of the Mu family, and solemnly wrote the name of Mu Qingge with a cinnabar red pen.

After all this was done, Mu Xiong moved forward, took out the feather crest that had already been prepared, and put it on Mu Qingge himself.

"Ge'er, from now on, you are an adult. In the future, the Mu family will be handed over to you." Mu Xiong helped Mu Qingge up, and said with a complicated mood.

Mu Qingge nodded and smiled indifferently: "Grandpa, don't worry, I won't lose face of the Mu family."

Mu Xiong sighed with relief: "Grandpa only wishes you to be safe."

The love between grandparents and grandchildren is probably only known to the two of them.

The crowning ceremony has been completed, and the next step is to entertain the guests. And Mu Qingge also wanted to accompany her grandfather during this process, and thank everyone who came to watch the ceremony with good wine.

"It's on fire—! On fire—!"

A sudden sound broke out, interrupting the harmony in the vestibule.

Everyone was silent, and their eyes were turned towards a servant of the Mu family who suddenly broke into the front court.

That man was just an ordinary person, and his rude intrusion had already made him panic, but when he thought of what he was going to report, he didn't care much. He ran to Mu Xiong in panic, knelt down on his legs suddenly, He shouted: "Grandpa, it's not good! Your study suddenly caught fire for some reason, and the guards rushed to put out the fire!"

"There was a fire in the study?" Mu Xiong asked in a deep voice. The fierceness in the tiger's eyes made him seem to be in a state of rage.

It is daytime, and there is no candle or incense in the room. How could there be a fire?

Mu Xiong's eyebrows were tightly knit together. There was no panic. It's just a study room. He is a military attache, and there are no confidential documents in the room.

"Grandpa, let's go take a look first." Mu Qingge suddenly said beside him.

Mu Xiong didn't think much, then nodded. He said to everyone: "Something happened at home, I've neglected everyone. Please wait for a while, I'll come when I go."

After saying that, he took Mu Qingge out of the front court and headed towards the study in the backyard.

As soon as their grandparents left, someone in the crowd suggested, "Why don't we follow along and see what's going on. If the old man needs help, we can join hands."

Almost no one objected to this proposal.

Even Qin Jinchen, who was sitting in the corner and trying to reduce his sense of existence, slowly stood up, thought for a while, and followed behind the team.

A group of people followed Mu Xiong into the backyard of Mu Mansion.

Mu Xiong had already sensed it, but he didn't say much.

In his view, nothing is impossible to tell. These people, no matter what their mentality, will follow.
