Jiang Chengzi was dressed in white, and he didn't bring an entourage, and his speed was extremely fast. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The map of Yang's ancestral house has long been familiar to her, she walked through the path and flower garden at a very fast speed, and in the morning when the sun was warm, Shi Shiran stood in front of the ancestral hall of the ancestral house.

The ancestral hall is a high gray wall, a high vermilion lacquer door, and a copper ring quietly in the sun.

And under the tall vermilion lacquer pillar at the door, there was a middle-aged man standing quietly, wearing a dark shirt, standing with a long body and a peaceful eyebrow. The morning sun shone on him, bringing peace and tranquility.

When the man saw the girl in plain clothes, he smiled slightly, bowed his hand, and said, "Presumably this is the ninth girl Yang Azhi, right?"

"Exactly. Jiang Chengzi also bowed, his tone polite and detached.

The man still smiled kindly: "I have been waiting for a long time at the order of the head of the family." ”

This person is very face-bearing, but he has a kind of extravagance and cultivation in his clothes and gestures, and he is definitely not an ordinary person.

But people didn't report their own doors, and they didn't have a reason to ask abruptly. Therefore, she thought: No matter the ghosts, snakes, and gods, I am not afraid. I came here today to sound the death knell of the old Yang system.

Therefore, she was silent for a moment, then looked at the man in front of her, smiled and asked, "Uncle is really like a god." Then I wonder if Your Excellency is sincerely waiting for me?"

The man straightened his beard, still smiling, and said with a pleasant face: "The head of the family has cleaned the ancestral hall before dawn, and let me bring someone here to wait for the arrival of the ninth girl." ”

"The eldest uncle's heart, the Yang family's six rooms are grateful. I would also like to ask you to convey it on your behalf. Jiang Chengzi raised his hand to the man.

"Nine girls are polite. The man's tone was soft, and then urged, "Please also ask the ninth girl to take care of your business as soon as possible." After all, the wind is strong, and the fallen leaves fill the ground in a moment. ”

Jiang Chengzi understood what this person meant, although Yang Gongren's people had cleared the previous deployment here, they might not be able to point out that the Yang Clan Elders would have other actions, and once something happened, it would be very troublesome.

"I will obey your orders. Jiang Chengzi rolled up his sleeves.

"Please. The man made a gesture of "please", then clapped his hands three times, and after a crisp slap, the high door of vermilion lacquer slowly opened from the inside.

There was a man standing inside the door, dressed in a strong suit, with a slightly messy beard, looking like he hadn't slept all night.

"Nine girls. He smiled brightly, greeted Jiang Chengzi loudly, and then opened the whole door wide.

"I was apprehensive before, but when I saw Uncle Yun, I felt a lot more at ease. She smiled lightly.

Yang Yun was very happy in his heart, he was worried about it all night last night, he was afraid that this girl would have three longs and two shorts.

This morning, at dawn, his grandfather suddenly ordered to clean up all the people in the ancestral hall, put those stubborn old guys under house arrest, and wait for Yang Azhi to ring the bell.

"Ah, master, will Ah Zhi ring the bell?" Yang Yun was quite surprised.

Yang Gongren frowned and said, "She will definitely go." Yang's Sixth Room is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

"Master, you, do you agree?" Yang Yun knew that once the bell of the ancestral hall was ringed, something big would happen to the Yang family.

"It's time for Yang to have a change. Yang Gongren was still standing at the top of the tall building, looking at the gradually brightening eastern sky.

Yang Yun led people to clean up the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in the ancestral hall. He estimated that it would take an hour before the sixth room could reach the ancestral hall. However, he really didn't expect that Ah Zhi's speed was so fast, as fast as a bird.

But no matter what, she was still safe, and he felt as if his little daughter was still alive, and his heart was indescribably happy.

Jiang Chengzi slowly stepped into the door, but he felt that the manly bearing at the door was extraordinary, and he must have a great background. Fang Cai herself can't ask directly out of courtesy, but now that Yang Yun is here, she can ask Yang Yun to introduce her.

Therefore, Jiang Chengzi, who stepped into the gate, looked at Yang Yun and shouted sweetly: "Uncle Yun." ”

Yang Yun was very happy and said, "Ah Zhi, everything is done, you can just act according to your ideas." Your uncle's meaning must have been clear last night. ”

Jiang Chengzi knew that what Yang Yun said was that Yang Gongren came to the sixth room last night to give away the thirteenth uncle, and he was showing his attitude to the sixth room.

"It's nature. The eldest uncle is a thorough person, and he is worthy of being the head of the family's house. Jiang Chengzi replied.

"If Ah Zhi can understand, I will be relieved. Yang Yun smiled happily. To be honest, the last thing he wants to be the enemy of the sixth room is.

"The eldest uncle can be like this for the future of the Yang family, which is really a blessing for the Yang family. As a descendant of the Yang family, I must be grateful. Jiang Chengzi was polite, as far as his eyes could see, but he saw the man at the door smiling.

Jiang Chengzi didn't wait for Yang Yun to speak, so he asked again: "Uncle Yun, I haven't grown up in my ancestral house since I was a child, and in just a few days after I came back, there are still many elders who don't know each other. But I don't know which elder this is. Please also ask Uncle Yun to introduce me. ”

She said this as if she thought about it casually, and asked it naturally, and the words she used were extremely polite. So much so that Yang Yun and the man felt that there was no rudeness or inappropriateness.

"According to the seniority, you will call me Uncle Twelve. When the man heard her inquiry, he laughed aloud.

"Uncle Twelve?" Jiang Chengzi turned to look at this middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing. chewed the "Twelfth Uncle" in his mouth twice, and was immediately surprised: this person was actually Yang Shidao, the twelfth uncle in the family, the husband of Princess Guiyang, the fifth daughter of Gaozu Li Yuan, and the brother-in-law of today's son Li Shimin, and the current governor of Lingzhou.

Jiang Chengzi immediately bowed to Yang Shidao and said, "I don't know if Yang Dudu came, the younger generation was rude." ”

In the Tang Dynasty, the highest number of etiquette was to call the other party's official name and grade. Jiang Chengzi called Yang Shidao the governor this time.

Yang Shidao smiled gently and said, "In the ancestral house, there is no need to be famous. We are a family, you should call me Uncle Twelve. ”

"Yes. Uncle Twelve. Jiang Chengzi shouted "Twelfth Uncle" crisply, but there were countless questions in his heart: First of all, Yang Shidao, as the governor of Lingzhou, took office in Lingzhou, and when he left Lingzhou, there was no rumor. Moreover, he is the master of the horse, even if he goes back to the ancestral house, there is a princess honor guard, but many people in the ancestral house don't seem to know that the master of the horse is back. Third, even if he sneaked in secretly, the guards of the Shu Wang's Mansion who were monitoring the Hongnong Yang clan should also know.

However, there was no rumor. What does it mean that Yang Shidao came back suddenly?

Jiang Chengzi only let these doubts run around in his mind, almost a blink of an eye, but Yang Shidao had already seen the clue and said with a smile: "Ah Zhi, I know you have a lot of questions to ask me, but now, please do what you should do before the fallen leaves fall to the ground again." ”

Yang Shidao's voice was still gentle, but his words were very solemn.

Jiang Chengzi looked at his determined expression, and suddenly firmly believed that the twelfth uncle he met for the first time was on the side of the Yang family's sixth room, on her side.

"Yes, Ah Zhi obeys the orders of the Twelfth Uncle. After Jiang Chengzi finished speaking, he straightened his clothes and walked into the gate of the ancestral hall.

After entering the gate of the ancestral hall, there is a patio of five or six hundred square meters. The floor and steps of the patio are paved with bluestone slabs and gravel. Each bluestone slab was cut by a stonemason with a chisel to a general size.

Each bluestone slab is carved with the totem of flowers, birds, insects and fish. In the patio, six pots of lotus flowers are raised in a large vat of green oka stone, and the lotus leaves are only out of the water for a short time, revealing the young leaves that are curled. There are swimming fish coming and going in the tank.

At the end of the patio is a nine-step staircase made of red sandstone, and above the stairs is a large verandah.

Under the eaves of the corridor, there is a thick Nanmu shelf, and there is a huge black bell with some words engraved on it. Jiang Chengzi couldn't read those words, and he wasn't in the mood to study this bell now.

She only knew that this bell was placed here by the first head of the family, and once this bell was ringed, it was a sign that something had happened to the Yang family. If it is knocked twelve times, then the Yang family is about to usher in a big change.

Jiang Chengzi paused for a moment in the middle of the patio and walked briskly up the steps.

"Ah Zhi, do you need me to help you?" Yang Yun looked at the thin girl, always worried that she didn't have enough strength.

Jiang Chengzi turned around and smiled at him, and said, "Uncle Yun, I'll come in person for revenge." ”

With that, she rang the bell twelve times. Hundreds of catties of heavy bells were ringed, and the sound was curling, echoing in the Yang family's ancestral house, spreading very, very far.

――――――――――――

The morning dew had not yet had time to dissipate, and the sun shone on the tips of the leaves, like trembling and rolling pearls.

The people in the ancestral house had just finished breakfast, and before the greetings in each room had started, the bell suddenly rang, and everyone in the Yang family's ancestral house was startled.

It's just a thousand waves of stones, and this wave has no stop at all, rippling in every corner of the ancestral house, it is really a few joys and a few sorrows.

The old lady, who was lying on the bed pretending to be sick, heard this bell, and her heart felt as if she had been hammered by something, and a clever person turned over and sat up, and said to herself: "Which one is killing a thousand knives to make trouble at this juncture." ”

At first, she thought it was just an ordinary dispute between the rooms, and it was estimated that it was hypocrisy. After all, yesterday the big house and the third room had such a fierce quarrel, and the big house did not ring the bell of the ancestral hall. What's going on in this house that can be bigger than yesterday's?

"I'll just see which demon moth. The old lady muttered to herself.

When the maid outside heard the movement, she hurriedly asked, "Old lady, do you have any orders?"

"When the bell is heard, go and see which one has struck the bell of the ancestral hall with a thousand knives. The old lady made a full set of plays, first pretending to cough twice, and then said to the little maid.

The little maid answered, and the old lady was suddenly stunned: This, who is so disgusting, this is still six times.

"Twelve !!" Finally, the old lady's face changed suddenly.

The little maid was about to inquire about who was ringing the bell, when the old lady shouted loudly in the house: "Zimo, you come back." ”

The little maid ran in tremblingly and said prostrately, "Old lady, Zi Mo will inquire now." ”

"No, you asked Zi Yan to dress up and change clothes for me, you go and ask the eldest master to come over. The old lady commanded.

For nearly a thousand years, the bell has not struck it twelve times. When the bell rang, it was a slap in the face of the head of the family, which clearly meant that his eldest son was not strong, but in fact, he soon turned around and said that she was immoral?

The old lady was angry, so she asked Zi Yan to get it done quickly, and got on the sedan chair with crutches.

In the third room, the family who had just survived the catastrophe yesterday had finished breakfast and were returning to their respective rooms in silence. Because of yesterday's incident, the old lady asked them not to come out to hang out if they had nothing to do in the third room, and there was no need to ask for peace.

The family was very depressed, as if they had lost their examinee. In the midst of this fatal dullness, the bell of the ancestral house suddenly rang, and the third lady suddenly stood up from the Luohan bed, and forgot to count the beads in her hand.

"Mother, this, this is the bell of the ancestral hall?" the eldest daughter-in-law asked tremblingly.

The third lady glanced at her and carefully counted the bells, twelve in all.

"Twelve, what's going on?" the third old man also muttered to himself.

The third lady lowered her eyes in contemplation, and after a moment, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Madam, what are you laughing at? These twelve bells are no child's play. This must be a major event related to the future and fate of the Yang family. The third master didn't know why, so he reminded the third lady very seriously.

The third lady smiled sarcastically and said, "I was noisy and shouting for most of the night last night, so someone must have done something unseemly. ”

"If you don't see anything unseemly, you won't strike the bell twelve times. The third master still didn't understand, he just felt that the bell ringer was really fuss and too capricious. The third master continued.

The third lady didn't bother to tell him anything profound, so she only said: "You are also a descendant of the Yang family, on behalf of the three rooms of the Guanwang Mansion, go and freshen up, and go to the ancestral hall with me to have a look." ”

"I'm going to go for this, and you wait for me. As he spoke, the third master called out to the maid to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find the old blue robe.

The third lady looked at the back of the third old man in the distance, slowly entered the room and carefully drew her eyebrows, changed her clothes and bathed, and then changed into a pink shirt at the bottom of the box.

She did everything before Shi Shiran walked into the courtyard, looked at the blue sky, and unconsciously sang: "Vote for me with papaya, repay it with Qiongju......"

At the same time, the atmosphere of the Presbyterian Church was much more solemn. The Great Elder walked around, his brows gathered into a towering peak.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Wang Zhijiang, who had white hair, unhappily.

Yang Clan Grand Elder Yang Jinhe didn't speak, still pacing back and forth.

Several second-class dead men stood in the center of the hall, and when they heard the questioning, they looked at each other and did not speak. Wang Zhijiang threw the teacup on the ground and shouted, "What are you doing?

Several second-level dead soldiers lowered their heads and did not speak, Wang Zhijiang dropped another teacup and asked, "What is the situation?"

"Brother Wang, don't be so big. This is the best celadon. Yang Jinhe said slowly.

Wang Zhijiang snorted coldly, sprinkled his anger on him, and shouted: "Look at what you Yang Clan has done this time? Isn't the Yang Clan known as Tietong, and flies can't fly in?

Yang Jinhe was not angry, only glanced at him, and said, "You have to put that girl to death." ”

"Heh, it was you who said that Yang's Azhi was uncontrollable, and Li Daitao was stiff, and now you say that we put her to death? You Yang have done a really good job. Zheng Minghe, the great elder of the Zheng family, also said sarcastically. (To be continued.) )
