Part of the ritual system of the Great Qi Dynasty came from the hands of the legendary prime minister 'Zhongshi', and the rest followed the etiquette regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the predecessor of the Great Qi.

In dynastic law, there was a strict hierarchy regarding the size of the mansion.

These so-called gardens, mansions, courtyards, and mansions, their colors, materials, shapes, ornaments, and specifications are divided into twelve levels from top to bottom, from large to small, according to the different official positions and titles of the people of the dynasty.

At the top of these specifications is naturally the royal garden belonging to His Majesty the Emperor, and below is the princely pillar kingdom of various ranks, and then the size of the official lord, and so on, to the ordinary people, there are the rich and rival big merchants, and it stands to reason that the size of their family mansions cannot exceed the size of those official residences at the end of this long list.

Needless to say, the Right Xi Tong family, which covers an area more than three times the city lord's mansion, is obviously in violation.

It's just that from the Divine Emperor Jiang Ye, to the city lord Hu Mingzhu himself, down to the flat-headed little people in the city, and the own people of the right Xi Tong family, no one in the entire dynasty seems to think that there is anything wrong with this Tong family's mansion being bigger than the city lord's mansion.

What could be the problem?

Over the years, the City Lord's Mansion has been nothing more than a dog raised by a human child, feeding a few bones when he is happy, and kicking his feet when he is unhappy, have you ever seen a kennel bigger than the owner's house?

Besides, in the more than ten years since he Hu Mingzhu took office, the money distributed by the dynasty is not as good as the gift money sent by the Rentong family for half a year, this city lord had an opinion before, and now he has no opinion at all.

Respecting the north is the rule left by the ancestors, and the entire Dongting Domain Continent, all the countries are like this, whether it is the direction of the building, or the direction of the people living in their own mansions, it highlights the dignity and humility of a person in the environment.

But ah, the rules are set by people, and there are always those people who don't like to abide by other people's rules, but like to be the ones who set the rules themselves.

Tong Yue, the ancestor of the Tong family's Tianwen Realm, he is such a person.

It stands to reason that as the most important person in the Tong family, Tong Yue's room should have been due north of the mansion, but in the direction of the north, he just lived in the place where the previous heads of the family lived, and Tong Yue himself lived in the middle of the Tong family's mansion.

As for the descendants, Tong Yue's explanation was very simple, he was willing.

In fact, he chose to live in the middle of the mansion with his own considerations, in the middle of the position, his eyes can see six ways, his ears can hear all directions, living here, he doesn't have to release the original god, or even use the true yuan, just through the terrifying body of this Tianwen realm, he can see the situation in the entire mansion, although these are just small things, see the subtlety, but it also shows that his intentions are good.

In the center of the Tong family's mansion is a dense rockery forest, and where Tong Yue lives, there is a small bamboo forest, and a one is built in the center of the bamboo forest

A small bamboo house, in the bamboo house, except for a bed and a table that are also made of bamboo and a pair of tea and wine utensils, there is nothing else, not even a quilt.

Compared with the descendants of the Tong family, who wore gold and silver and lived an extremely luxurious life, this old ancestor can be regarded as retaining the hardship and concentration that he was committed to practicing when he was young.

Although the practice pays attention to the law of wealth, in the final analysis, it is still itself, things are always enough, and the end is abandoned, but it messes up the state of mind, there are many descendants of the Tong family, and the talent can be compared to the characters of the ancestors for so many years, it is not nothing, it is really disturbed by external things, but no one can reach the realm of the ancestor Tong Yue today.

Tong Yue doesn't care much about this, although he is the ancestor of the Tong family, but his own longevity is still ninety percent, as long as he lives for a day, the Tong family will be blessed with longevity, and the wealth is rolling, and there is no need to worry about anything.

It's just that during this period of retreat, I wanted to break through to the fourth layer of the Heavenly Pattern, and I didn't succeed after a lot of time, but I neglected to pay attention to the family.

Originally, there was a head of the Tong family watching, and his ancestor who didn't care about trivial matters enjoyed the blessings, and it was no longer for a while, and it was actually harmless in normal times.

But during this period of time, Tong Yue cultivated alone in the bamboo house, and he always felt a little restless, so that because of his unstable state of mind, Tong Yue tried many times during this time, but he didn't succeed.

The bamboo door of the hut slowly opened, Tong Yue walked out of the hut, his eyes looked around the quiet bamboo forest, the eyes that exuded fine light seemed to penetrate the entire Tong family's house, seeing that the mansion was peaceful, Tong Yue was slightly relieved, and a restless heart slowly let go.

Nodding with satisfaction, Tong Yue paced unhurriedly, ready to go back to the house to practice, but before the steps under his feet came to the door, Tong Yue's footsteps stopped.

I saw that the old ancestor of the Tong family slowly turned around, and a pair of sword eyebrows were deeply wrinkled.

The anxiety is gone, but the long and long-lasting sense of disobedience in the bottom of his heart always lingers, which makes Tong Yue have no intention of going back to practice at the moment.

"Hey!" With a long sigh, Tong Yue paced back and forth at the door of the small bamboo house, and comforted himself with self-talk: "The way of cultivation, there is a degree of relaxation, it's time to relax, it's time to relax." ”

In fact, in the past ten years, his life has always been so relaxed, but his cultivation has not risen by half a point, Tong Yue knows in his heart that his cultivation path has reached a bottleneck.

If this bottleneck can be broken, it can be said that the sea is wide and the fish jumps before the Divine Elephant Realm, and the sky is high and the birds can fly.

But if this bottleneck can't be broken, then even if he stops here in this life, after thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, until the end of his life, he may not be able to make a breakthrough again.

The space under his feet fluctuated slightly, and Tong Yue appeared in the sky above the right Xi City, and the strong true yuan wrapped his whole body, forming a white mist cocoon, wrapping his entire body in it, at this time

Even if someone looks up, he can only see a clear blue sky, but he can't find the slightest trace of him.

"After so many years of painting the ground in this right Xicheng prison, it's time to find a good day to go outside!" Tong Yue, who was standing on the high sky, sighed slightly, and there were more memories and nostalgia in his clear eyes, looking at the magnificent mansion built by himself himself, Tong Yue's heart couldn't help but give birth to a sense of pride.

Men should go all over the world with a wine sword and a sword, living in a corner, how can they break through, what is the breakthrough?

"It's just," Tong Yue straightened his clothes and whispered, "Before leaving, you must first arrange the future of these little cubs, otherwise you will still be a little worried!"

Parents are to their children, and the elderly are to their descendants, regardless of whether they are good or bad, more or less they are always a little worried, as strong as the child leap of the Tianwen realm, and they are not exempt from vulgarity.

In fact, his immediate apprehension is not unreasonable.

For so many years, the Tong family's rampant and domineering behavior in Youxi City has been seen in his eyes, these things, he naturally had no problems when he was in the Tong family, but if one day he leaves the Tong family, and the children of the Tong family still don't know how to restrain, then his Tong family is not far from the day of destruction.

Therefore, although he made up his mind to leave, Tong Yue still decided to stay in Youxi City for another year and a half, and when the things of the departure trip were complete, the little cubs of the Tong family should almost be trained, and then he could leave with confidence.

Thinking of this, Tong Yue couldn't help but laugh to himself.

As soon as he returned to the bamboo house, Tong Yue shouted directly towards the rockery outside the bamboo forest: "Liangzi!"

"Sir!"

A middle-aged man dressed in a butler's costume suddenly appeared behind Tong Yue, bent down respectfully, and stood still with his head down.

This person was originally the chief housekeeper of the Tong family's mansion, and he had already followed Tong Yue when he was at the end of his life, and later as Tong Yue retreated behind the scenes, Liangzi also unloaded the burden of the big housekeeper on his body, and only did things for Tong Yue alone.

However, in this Tong family's mansion, it is the current head of the family, and when he sees Liangzi, he must respectfully call Liangshu Liang.

Tong Yue has a long life, many heirs, over the years, the descendants of the descendants come and go, life and death, but become not very intimate, but this servant who has followed him all the way from childhood to adulthood has become his closest person in this world like a brother and brother.

Tong Yue once publicly said in front of the previous head of the family that in this Tong family, he is the boss, Liangzi is the second, and the head of the family can only be regarded as the third, if the third child makes the second child unhappy, then he, the boss, can also kill or replace you, the third child.

It's just that this big housekeeper has always been his duty in the Tong family, no matter who he sees, he just regards himself as a servant, never puts on any shelf, and he is even more respectful to the masters of the family in the past dynasties, so he is also a highly respected figure in the house. However, in recent decades, with Tong Yue's continuous retreat, Liangzi, the big housekeeper, has rarely come out again

Now in front of the descendants of the Tong family.

Tong Yue smiled and waved his hand, and he didn't put any old man's shelf in front of Liangzi, but just smiled gently: "What's unusual in the city mansion recently?"

The big housekeeper Liangzi also smiled, in terms of age, he actually wanted to be younger than his own master for seven or eight years, but he couldn't cultivate to the early stage of the legal domain, and Tong Yue still took resources and piled them up, so standing in front of Tong Yue at the moment seemed a little older.

"There is no big thing, but there is one special thing. ”
