Chapter 13: The Ancestral Hall

"Uncle Jiang?" Mu Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Xie Fugui suspiciously.

Because after listening to Yu Jin's words before, I guessed that he was going to find Uncle Jiang, probably for the sake of real power in the house, so he frowned and asked knowingly: "I have been resting in the house for the past few days, and I haven't seen Uncle Jiang come to the yard." I remember that Uncle Jiang has been in charge of the affairs of the house on weekdays, and he will patrol the house from time to time, didn't you see him when you came? I don't know what you want to do with him?"

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, it's just that the yard has been neglected recently, and I want to talk to him, but I haven't seen anyone, so I just asked you casually. Xie Fugui's eyes flickered slightly, and he waved his hand to explain.

He saw that his daughter had indeed not seen Uncle Jiang yet, and his face was a little gloomy in an instant, thinking to himself where this Uncle Jiang was hiding, as if he had looked for Uncle Jiang the day before yesterday, but he just said that he wanted to give the rights in the house to the Song family, but after being rejected by Uncle Jiang, he found that he was missing.

In the past two days, he carefully searched for the house, and even secretly asked people to pay attention to the shop outside, but he couldn't find Uncle Jiang, so he put his thoughts here, thinking that Uncle Jiang must have hidden in this courtyard, and it is even very likely that he has transferred the rights of Mu Wanqiu to Mu Tianxiang.

As long as he thinks of what he can't calculate, she can easily get it, how can she not make him upset.

He said that he was his daughter, but after all, he didn't control some of the power himself, so he felt that he was still the same as before, and he had no status in this mansion.

But now, looking at Mu Tianxiang's expression, it didn't look like he was lying and prevaricating, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and he didn't know what Uncle Jiang was planning.

"Dad?" Mu Tianxiang didn't know what Xie Fugui was thinking at this time, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he opened his mouth and asked.

"Uh......" Xie Fugui came back to his senses, secretly annoyed that he would be distracted, lest Mu Tianxiang see something, so he quickly restrained his expression, got up and patted his clothes, and said with a smile: "Okay Xiang'er, Dad saw that your complexion was not very good, so I won't disturb you to rest, and when you are more neat another day, Dad will come over and take a look." ”

After Xie Fugui said his considerate words to Mu Tianxiang, he was about to turn around and leave the house.

When Mu Tianxiang saw it, she hurriedly got up to send it off.

"Xiang'er is so lying down, you don't have to get up, Dad can go by himself. Xie Fugui raised his hand and called Mu Tianxiang.

"That Xiang'er listened to her father's words, took care of her illness, and didn't get up to send you, and when Xiang'er recovered, she would go and ask you for an encore?"

Xie Fugui didn't say much when he saw this, just comforted him twice and hurriedly walked out of the house.

"Master, where are you going now?" Out of Mu Tianxiang's courtyard, the maid who had been following Xie Fugui posted a paste in front of him, and her voice and movements were full of charm.

Xie Fugui glanced at her, and his voice was a little cold: "Go to the third room!"

"Master!" the maid listened to his answer, and immediately her face changed, and she stomped her foot in anger with some displeasure.

This maid was originally a little girl in the laundry room, called Cuihe, because once Xie Fugui drank high wine, accidentally fell into the laundry room and fell asleep while walking, and happened to be bumped into by Cuihe, who was idle after washing clothes.

This Cuihe was originally a good climber, and felt that his posture was higher than that of ordinary people, he didn't like that he was just a laundry maid, and when he saw the drunk Xie Fugui that day, he thought about it, and carried Xie Fugui back to his room and waited for him wholeheartedly.

And then because she showed a considerate and weak appearance in front of Xie Fugui, coupled with her own soft voice, men would be fluttering when they heard it, and this back and forth was with Xie Fugui.

Now that I heard that he had only been to the third room, and he was going to the third room again, he was naturally a little annoyed.

"I'm just going to ask why you lied to me, so I almost lost face. Because she was in the freshness period, Xie Fugui naturally indulged a little more with this Cuihe, and when he saw that she was angry, he wanted to appease her: "Go back, master, I will take you to the shop to bring the rouge powder back, you are happy." ”

Xie Fugui's words made Cuihe suddenly feel good, and he no longer minded that he was going to the third room, so he happily followed, and by the way, he also went to see how her good old man was angry with the third room.

"Miss......"

When Xie Fugui left the courtyard with his subordinates, Yu Jin looked at Mu Tianxiang with a worried face.

"Look at you nervous, my dad is really so terrible?" Mu Tianxiang lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the table and sat down, and handed the jade pendant in his hand to Yu Jin: "Find a box and put this in it, put it in the cabinet and lock it." ”

Yu Jin nodded and took the jade pendant, locked it as she ordered, and when she came back, she saw Mu Tianxiang's clothes on her whole body, looking like she was going out.

"Miss, are you going out again?" Yu Jin asked curiously when he saw this.

"Well, you help me prepare some snacks and incense, I want to go to the ancestral hall to worship my mother earlier. Mu Tianxiang lowered her eyes and spoke, thinking that the purpose of Xie Fugui's visit this time was probably related to the rights and interests in her mother's hands.

If she wastes her time on meaningless cultivation, she is afraid that she will regret it at that time.

"Well, it's cold outside, so let's go out again with some clothes. When Yu Jin heard this, he quickly took a plain silk cloak and put it on Mu Tianxiang, then ran out to prepare things, and followed Mu Tianxiang to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the shogunate was placed in the courtyard northwest of the shogunate, and if Mu Tianxiang wanted to go to the ancestral hall, the nearest way would be to pass the three-room courtyard, but because of the unpleasant morning, the master and servant chose a longer road.

Along the way, I will meet the people in the house from time to time, Mu Tianxiang greeted me all the way, and found that I would thank you for the people, and it was naturally unexpected to see her appear, but when I came back to my senses, I was naturally happy.

In this way, Mu Tianxiang is still a little happy, because some people are happy, which means that there are still people in the house who are worried about themselves and win the hearts of the people.

As for those who had a flickering expression after seeing her, she also took note of it, not for anything else, but she was in this courtyard, and every step she took needed to be carefully guarded.

When he arrived at the ancestral hall, Mu Tianxiang glanced at the red-pillar tile house in front of him.

"A vein flows from the world, and the hall is full of brewing Taihechun. ”

On both sides of the gate, a line of cursive couplets, such as flowing clouds, is engraved on the red pillar, and just above the door, on the large plaque on a black background, is the golden four-character banner of "Ming Lie Ancestor".

Just standing outside the ancestral hall, Mu Tianxiang felt that the atmosphere was a little heavier at this time, and she was also a little nervous, after all, she borrowed the body of other people's descendants, I don't know if your ancestors would mind her worship.

Hengzhu She is going to live here, Mu Tianxiang still thinks that it is good to say hello to the ancestors first, even if they will not bless her Gao Nannan, but at least they will bless Mu Tianxiang.

"Yujin, I'll just go in by myself, you can wait here. He took the bamboo basket in Yu Jin's hand, gave her an order, and walked into the ancestral hall alone.

Mu Tianxiang pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, and was stunned for a moment, the sandalwood in the ancestral hall was burning vigorously, she sniffed the smell hard, entered the ancestral hall, and closed the door smoothly.

The first thing that caught her eye was a white plaster statue of human height in the middle of the ancestral hall, Mu Tianxiang looked at the appearance of the statue woman and knew that it was the first ancestor of her shogunate.

This is a legendary woman, she has heard a lot of stories about this ancestor from her mother, and she is also a little curious about this ancestor.

His eyes swept over the foot of the statue, on several tablets on the main seat, and glanced at the names on each tablet one by one, knowing that these tablets were all in charge of the previous shogunate.

And on one side of these rankings, they are all the rankings of the aunts and lords since the shogunate.

Because of the single transmission of the shogunate generation, in the entire ancestral hall, there are only eleven ancestral tablets, and there are still empty next to the mother's rank.

It's just that when her eyes looked to the side again, her eyes suddenly widened, and a depression rose from her abdomen.

Trying to restrain the displeasure in her heart, when her eyes finally fell on the snack plate that had been placed here before, she frowned again.

Put the snacks in the bamboo basket on the incense table, replace the previous one, put it in the bamboo basket, then light the three pillars of incense, take a step back and kneel on the futon.

She glanced around at the ancestral tablets and said lightly:

"Ancestors, I will present this pillar of incense to you today as Mu Tianxiang, a descendant of the shogunate, not to seek blessings, but to help me find out the murderer who framed my mother, so as to prevent the century-old foundation of the shogunate from falling into the hands of others, and also to return you to a peaceful state. ”

After worshipping the ancestors of the shogunate, Mu Tianxiang got up and inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner, then raised his head, stared at the shadow behind the statue, and said calmly: "Uncle Jiang, how long do you plan to stay here?"
