The garden art of Shangjing is a must.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has been famous for all kinds of gardens, and Shangjing, as the cultural center of the entire dynasty, will certainly not lag behind in this regard.

No matter how big or small the family is, if you don't build a beautiful, timeless and elegant garden at home, you can't be regarded as an old family, at most you are just a nouveau riche.

In contrast, Qin Ning, who is in the north of the border, is not so particular, so the Pure Root Monk can be regarded as an eye-opener. After entering the Song Mansion, his eyes wandered back and forth nearby, and he was afraid that the Qingqing girl couldn't move away in front of him.

Of course, the two of them were not hindered from coming in, and there were no dramas such as "just changed the doorman", "the doorman just didn't know Song Yan", "the doorman just didn't have a good temper", which made Song Yan cry out for pity, and pretended to be a little less.

In fact, Song Yan has only been away from home for half a year, and his appearance has not changed much, and the people in the mansion will not recognize him if they are blind.

As early as after discovering that he had returned, he had already run to inform his master, so that they could know as soon as possible that the sixth young master who was supposed to practice in the Great Light Temple had returned home.

As for how the Song family should face this young master next, it is not a matter for the subordinates to take care of.

Song Yan and the two walked all the way, according to the direction in Song Yan's memory, and walked towards the small courtyard where Song Yan lived.

The architectural style of the Great Zhou Dynasty is courtyard-style, regardless of the poor family, the big family often lives in a large courtyard, and the courtyard is divided into several small courtyards, which are assigned to each house branch in the clan.

Song Yan lived with his parents when he was a child, but his father died unexpectedly when he was seven years old, and he and his mother lived together.

In fact, the family style of the Song family is not bad, it can be regarded as a scholarly family, and no one comes to bully orphans and widows, but the old lady Song often takes care of them, and the life of the mother and son is not bad.

Song Yan was a scholar before he was crossed, and his parents' expectation for him was also to read the book of sages, which can be seen from the word "Hongwen".

However, about two years ago, Song's mother also died of illness, and Song Yan was also seriously ill because of excessive sadness, and then gradually lived in a simple house, often hiding in the courtyard alone to study, and his personality became a little withdrawn.

Soon Song Yan walked to the courtyard with his memory, and at this time, a soft cry came from behind.

"Young Master Hongwen, Young Master Hongwen......" Song Yan and the two turned their heads, but saw an old man with gray hair walking quickly, panting.

"Amber?" Song Yan hurriedly went up to hold the old man and said.

The old man's name is Song An, the old housekeeper of the Song Mansion, the kind that has been with him at home since the time of the old lady Song, and he was also a martial artist with good strength when he was young, but now that he is older, his martial arts cultivation has begun to decline, and his physique is not much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Song An's prestige in the Song family is very high, and although he is always very kind, he is still very respected.

"Young Master Hongwen, are you here for the death of the sixth lady?" Song An finally took a breath and said with a wry smile, "Also, I should have thought of it a long time ago, old man, even if he was practicing in the Great Bright Temple, Young Master Hongwen would find a way to rush back." ”

"Death?" Song Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and then remembered that a few days later, it would be Song's mother's death, which would be on the first day of the next month.

The original Song Yan was a filial son, and he would definitely not forget the death of his biological mother, but Song Yan was a traverser after all, and this kind of memory that had nothing to do with himself would be difficult to take the initiative to remember if it was not triggered by the outside.

But after all, it is the biological mother of this body, and it is okay to sweep the tomb.

Song Yan thought like this, so he walked into the courtyard with Song An and Jinggen, Song Mu's tomb was in the courtyard, because no one had repaired it for a long time, some weeds had grown around, which made Song Yan frown slightly.

Originally, Song's mother could enter the ancestral hall of the Song family, but she asked to be buried here before she died, and Song Yan took care of it herself, and resolutely refused to let others interfere, so she could only say that the family was stubborn.

But when Song Yan left half a year ago, he had entrusted someone to take care of the tomb of Song's mother, and he was a confidant servant who had lived in the courtyard for a long time, how could he end up in this step?

"Amber, what's going on?" Song Yan frowned and turned his head to look at Song An, with a somewhat cold look between his eyebrows.

Although as a traverser, he and Song Mu have never met, and they can't talk about deep feelings, but it is impossible to sit back and watch someone bully him, which is no different from hitting him in the face of Song Yan.

The old housekeeper actually knew about this for a long time, so after hearing the news of Song Yan's return, he hurried here, but he didn't expect to be unable to stop it in advance.

At this time, it was useless to conceal it, Song Yan would find out from others sooner or later, so he had no choice but to say: "Actually, not long after Young Master Hongwen left, the servant who guarded the tomb was transferred away because of the lack of manpower in the account room...... Later, he was expelled for making some mistakes. ”

"Account room, heh, Song Zhe will also play this kind of little trick!" Song Yan sneered, although the old housekeeper said it more vaguely, the meaning was actually clearly expressed, that is, someone deliberately drove the servant out of the Song Mansion.

The account room is managed by the Song family's three rooms.

And the third room of the Song family, headed by Song Yan's third uncle, has a son and a daughter. One of the sons is called Song Zhe, who is a philanthropist, and Song Yan has never dealt with him, and the poor relationship between the two is well-known in the family.

The two had conflicts when they were children, and later there were more bullshit incidents, and there was even a farce of jealousy because of women.

Song Yan didn't take his third uncle to heart, he only regarded the conflict between young people, and they still got along normally. But as Song Zhe became an adult, the power of the third room gradually transitioned to his hands, and even the account room was managed by Song Zhe, and there were more and more cases against Song Yan's mother and son.

However, these are the grievances of the original owner, Song Yan didn't plan to pay attention to it, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by him today: "It's just in time...... Senior brother, let's go!"

"Huh, where are you going?" Monk Jinggen didn't know the ins and outs of this, and was confused about the conversation between the two.

"Collect the bills. ”

......

Song family account room.

It is said that it is an account room, but it is actually a small courtyard for office use, because the account room has a lot of information and materials to check, and there are about five people working collectively every day.

At this time, there were two maids counting the cloth in the account room, and next to him stood a young man who was settling accounts, it was Song Zhe.

Song Zhe and Song Lixue are only one year older than Song Yan, but they have been trained by his father since he was a child, and his temperament is much more mature.

Song Zhe was actually sent to study like Song Yan when he was a child, but he had no talent in this area, so Uncle Song immediately decided to change his strategy and let him learn practice by his side.

At that time, Song Yan was still studying in the academy, and the Liangzi of the two may have been married at that time.

Coincidentally, Song Zhe is not here alone today, and there is another man by his side, but he is a doorman who has just been recruited by Sanfang, known as the "Extreme Swordsman"

The grandson of the grandson.

Gongsun Jue is also a well-known innate master in the rivers and lakes, maybe it is nothing at the level of the major sects, but in the people, he is already a few masters.

While settling the accounts, Song Zhe did not forget Gongsun Jue next to him, and said with a smile: "This batch of goods will be sent to the shops in Luoyun City, and I will go with me when the time comes, and I will have to bother Mr. Gongsun to go too." ”

Gongsun Jue knew that Luoyun City was not far from Shangjing, and the roads were all official roads, so he would basically not meet robbers who were blind. This trip is basically in vain, but the remuneration will not be less, which is a benefit given to him by Song Zhe.

Gongsun Jue was recruited into the Song family as a guest, but in fact, he was personally recruited by Uncle Song, and he should be regarded as a person in Sanfang at root, and Sanfang naturally had to take care of him.

So Gongsun Jue also smiled and said: "Thank you for the son, Gongsun will protect the son." ”

However, at this time, Song Yan took the Jinggen monk and stepped into the small courtyard of the account room, and said loudly: "Song Zhe, your death time has arrived!"
