Before they reached the door, someone shouted: "Tell the old lady quickly, the third aunt and Aunt Zhou are back."

The young man's family followed one of them, but instead of entering the main gate, they entered only the west corner gate. Walked dozens of zhang, entered the hanging flower door, on both sides is the hand-copying verandah, in the middle is the hall, there is a large interstitial screen of red sandalwood shelf marble on the ground. Turning the interstitial screen, there are three small halls, and behind the hall is the main courtyard at the back. The five upper rooms in the front are all carved beams and painted buildings, and the wings of the verandah on both sides are hung with parrots of various colors, thrushes and other birds. On the top of the platform, there were a few girls dressed in red and green, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly greeted them with a smile and said, "The old men and ladies were still reading it just now, but it happened to come." So three or four people scrambled to open the curtain cage, while listening to someone reply: "The third aunt and the young master have arrived." ”

Zhou Heng's family followed one of them, but they didn't enter the main gate, only entered the west corner gate.

So three or four people scrambled to open the curtain cage, while listening to someone reply: "The third aunt and the young master have arrived." ”

entered the court, but when I saw two rows of coffee tables opened, several old men and ladies in brocade robes stood up one after another, competing to come over and ask Hou, gossiping, and couldn't reply for a while. After calming down for a while, Zhou Heng was led by his parents to greet the elders one by one. 5 years ago, when the original owner came, he was still young, and he couldn't tell who was who, but this time he finally understood, which was the eldest uncle, the eldest cousin, and also knew the world-famous Su family Qijinshi.

Why didn't you see the old man?" asked Zhou Heng's mother. The old lady of the Su family died ten years ago, only the old man is here, he is ninety-nine years old this year, he is a jinshi sixty years ago, and I heard that he is still mentally struggling recently.

"The old man has been in retreat, and I don't know what I'm cultivating lately. Two months ago, the old man didn't think about tea and dinner, and then he locked himself in the study and didn't let anyone disturb him. Today is seven seven hundred and forty-nine days, and it is time to come out. But it shouldn't be fine, and I heard him talking to himself this morning. The eldest uncle replied.

Since the old man had the same retreat several times before, everyone didn't care. The room gradually became lively.

It was getting dark. The days are too short in winter. The arm-thick red candle was lit.

People were also a little tired from talking, and at night, it was calm inside and outside the house.

Suddenly, someone came up and shouted, 'Steward Zhang, it's not good, all the horses in the stable are all dead.'

"What?" Not only was the butler taken aback, but all the bustle was taken aback, and there were no less than a hundred people who came this time, and there were also sixty or seventy horses, how could they all be dead? The butler hurriedly rushed out to see.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour and not returning, the room became quiet.

"Pony, Lu, go see what's going on. "The eldest uncle ordered the two subordinates.

The two young men said yes and walked out.

After a long time, no one returned.

Everyone stared at the door, not daring to move, when an old man walked in, his hair and beard all white, and his face was gloomy.

"Master, master is out!"

The old man walked in, his hands trembled slightly, and his eyes looked at the three sons, daughters-in-law, and then the three daughters and sons-in-law, and then moved to the next generation of grandchildren. He gasped and didn't say a word, just watched quietly, lingering on everyone's face for a moment, as if eager to observe something, looking, watching, he couldn't help but shed tears!

The eldest uncle seemed to see something bad in his eyes, and he said in surprise, "Dad, do you have anything to say?"

The old man said, "No...... No...... It's my eyes that dazzle me...... My eyes were dazzled...... It's impossible, impossible......"

Everyone was taken aback and felt eerie!

Zhou Heng's mother said with a snort: "Dad, what did you see?"

The old man's whole body trembled, and his misty eyes kept observing everyone's faces, and his form became more and more frightened, and it looked like he had seen a ghost!

"No...... No...... I saw ...... wrong" he kept saying, "It's my eyes, my eyes are ......"

Suddenly, his eyes made contact with Zhou Heng behind him.

This person actually made his nervous demeanor suddenly freeze: "Oh!" He let out a long breath and said, "Xiao Heng, you ...... Come here...... Let me ...... well Look at you!"

Zhou Hengping paused for a moment, knowing that there must be a reason for the old man to do this, so he answered immediately and turned his body to the front of the old man. The two faces were very close, and the old man's eyes, after a moment of shock, suddenly showed great joy! It was an indescribable relief, and it was very different from the previous horror. Zhou Heng, the young man facing him, has a calm face, black and thick, deep and deep eyes, in the scene where everyone is shocked, only he can maintain his original composure. However, these did not seem to be what the old man wanted to observe, his wandering gaze was only fixed on his cheerful and upright Yin Tang, and then at his brows...... Seeing this, the joy on the old man's face was even more obvious, and he trembled and stretched out a hand and put it on the shoulder of this grandson, who was not very familiar, and then he gasped even more.

Zhou Heng said: "Grandpa, do you have anything to tell me?"

The old man nodded sadly and said, "Yes...... ......"

Zhou Heng said: "Grandpa, please say it in person, and my grandson will listen to you!"

The old man's gaze swept towards everyone in the room, but it was difficult to exit.

Zhou Heng suddenly felt a pang in his heart, but although he had a glimpse of the old man's inner meaning, because of his loyalty, it was difficult to speak on his behalf for a while. Of course, Zhou Heng was not the only one who understood the inner meaning of the old man's words, and the eldest uncle suddenly understood. He immediately said, "Dad, do you always have anything to say to take care of Xiao Heng alone?"

The old man looked at him miserably and nodded slowly. Everyone immediately understood the reason why the old man had not spoken for a long time, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.

The eldest uncle took a step back and said with a deep salute: "In this case, I'll wait for the first exit, and after Daddy Rong finishes explaining, I'll see it again, okay?"

The old man nodded slightly, his eyes closed slightly, and two lines of tears flowed out! This behavior made everyone present secretly surprised in their hearts, but the master did not dare to disobey the order, so he saluted one after another, and walked out of the hall one after another.

Everyone retreated silently outside the hall door.
