The next day, when Adao woke up, it was already dark.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the smiling tanuki face of the tanuki.

"Are you alright?" asked the tanuki with a smile.

Ah Tao vaguely remembered that he stood in front of the gate of the hedge courtyard last night and looked at the hedge tree in the courtyard, and then his heart suddenly ached, and then he fell unconscious.

She nodded and replied, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern." ”

The raccoon slave smiled: "You walked to the old residence of the moon fence last night, and there is a wall across your courtyard, you just came to the house, and you can't see the road clearly at night, so you will go there by mistake." ”

I see......

It's no wonder that when I saw the hedge tree last night, I thought of the moon hedge.

"Childe ordered you to go out of the house with me and see the world. ”

A twinkle flashed in Ah Dao's eyes, and a carp stiffened, jumped up from the bed, and asked excitedly, "But it is beneficial for me to practice the art of controlling characters?"

The tanuki slave was stunned: "No." ”

"Ready, let's go. With that, he turned and walked out the door.

Ah Tao couldn't help muttering in a low voice, what is there in the world, and he can't practice the art of controlling words.

But she still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the tanuki, so she turned over and quickly got out of bed, chose a red dark coat from the closet to change into, and then followed the tanuki out of the house.

When they arrived outside a mansion and looked at the gate of the city, the guests were dressed luxuriously and were welcomed into the mansion one by one, Ah Tao knew that she came with the raccoon slave today to send congratulatory gifts to the Xun clan on behalf of the son.

Xun Yuse, the daughter of Xun Ju, the patriarch of the Xun clan, is going to pay tribute in front of the major clans who came to watch the ceremony later.

And the ceremony is not a big banquet guests, only a few relatives in the family, but the major clans of Yin'an have always had the custom of holding a big banquet with the specifications of big and small things.

Ah Tao followed behind the tanuki slave, and a Xiangfu servant carrying a congratulatory gift walked at the back, and the three of them stepped forward together.

The Xun clan greeted the door with two men, one of whom was about forty years old, very tall, with a bun crown, dressed in a deep coat with green weeping scales and dark veins, with a straight and upright style between his eyebrows, this person was Xun Ju, the patriarch of the Xun clan.

The young man standing on Xun Ju's side has not yet reached the crown, he is short, just on Xun Ju's chest, he looks slightly weak, but his complexion is healthy, with a baby face, with a bit of childishness, but the embroidered mercury silk edge of the blue brocade on his body will be a little bit lower than this childishness, and the young man deliberately made an old-fashioned state between his gestures, so that the childishness is reduced by a few points, and the whole person shows a bit of stability at first glance.

This young man is Xun Ju's youngest son Xun Guangyan, and today it is his sister Xun Yuse.

Xun Guangyan was the first to see the tanuki slave group, and his brows frowned almost imperceptibly.

Xun Ju, who had just welcomed a guest in, also saw them, his face did not change in the slightest, and he greeted him with a smile: "It's a raccoon slave ghost servant, is the son okay lately?"

After bowing to Xun Ju and Xun Guangyan, the raccoon slave, Ah Dao and the Xiangfu servant who carried the congratulatory gift, the raccoon slave replied politely: "The son is well, thank you Lord Xun for your concern, this time the slave and others came to get the order of the son, and specially congratulated Miss Xun Er and Lu Zhixi." ”

Xun Ju touched his beard, which was neither long nor short, and said with a light smile: "The son is noble, it is rare to remember such a trivial matter as the contemptible girl today and Xuan, and the official thanks the son for the love of the little girl!"

Xun Ju stretched out his hand and led the three of them into the house: "Everyone, please come inside." ”

The tanuki and the group bent down to thank them and walked towards the door.

When Ah Tao passed by Xun Guangyan's side, he inadvertently raised his eyes, and happened to collide with Xun Guangyan's inquiring gaze.

Both of them were stunned.

Xun Guangyan immediately looked away, holding his head high, looking like an unstoppable tsundere, but Ah Tao still caught a slight red at the base of his ear.

This man is kind of interesting.

Ah Tao smiled secretly in his heart, staggered in front of Xun Guangyan, and followed the raccoon slave into the mansion.

The smile on the corner of Ah Tao's mouth was not exhausted, and the raccoon slave beside her suddenly glanced sideways at her, and said lightly: "That little prince Xun is not a thing in the pool." ”

Ah Tao was curious: "I want to hear about it." ”

Tanuki explained as he walked: "He is a famous prodigy in Yin'an, he has been gifted since he was a child, and he never forgets anything, and with this talent, he is now proficient in different fields of knowledge, and his knowledge is extremely profound, better than many Confucian people in Yin'an City." ”

Adao was surprised.

Sure enough, no one should be disguised.

Under the guidance of the small servant of Xunfu, passing through the weeping flower gate and bypassing the winding corridor, the raccoon slave and his party arrived at the ancestral hall of Xunfu.

There are many guests, all of whom are dressed in costumes, sitting or standing, greeting each other, and the atmosphere is harmonious, but it is a little more comfortable and casual than the general banquet.

Most of these people are not from the Xiang faction.

After all, the Xun clan is attached to the royal family.

The Xiangfu guy who came with them left the raccoon slave and Ah Tao at this time, and walked towards the Xunfu guy who was standing aside, the two talked a few words, and the Xunfu guy glanced at the congratulatory gift in the hand of the Xiangfu guy, and then made a gesture of please, leading the Xiangfu guy to walk out of the door.

Ah Tao retracted his gaze and looked around curiously.

This ancestral hall of Xun Mansion is spacious and sunny, and the ancestral shrine is enshrined in front of it, which is engraved with the names of the patriarchs of the Xun clan and the clansmen who have made great contributions to the growth of the Xun clan, it looks solemn and quiet, and there is a green glaze furnace burning on both sides, and the furnace is burning with high-grade sandalwood. On each side are several rosewood chairs, each covered with a brocade upholstery.

Ah Tao moved her eyes to the guests, and she noticed that some nobles came with ghost attendants, and these ghost attendants all bowed to them when they saw the servants or maidservants in the house.

Sure enough, only Childe's ghosts can be exempted from these rituals.

A Tao felt a sense of pride in his heart, and unconsciously straightened his waist more and more.

An inquiring gaze suddenly fell on Ah Dao's body, and she looked keenly at it, only catching the corner of the crowd in a hurry.

Dark blue, curved mercury silk embroidery......

It's Xun Guangyan.

There was a commotion among the guests, and a middle-aged woman with a graceful and luxurious temperament walked in slowly, followed by several handmaidens and Beppu's guards.

The woman's hair is combed into the nine buns, and the bun is inlaid with jade hairpins, wearing a gold embroidered gown, and a plain blue Luo skirt is dragged to the ground, raising her hands and feet to reveal the atmosphere.

After everyone in the house and the woman greeted each other, the woman was led to the guest seat by a handmaid of the Xun tribe.

Zhengbin's candidates are generally the elders of the famous people with both virtue and ability, this woman comes from the lineage of the Fu clan, which ranks fifth in the book of hundred clans, and is the sister of the Fu clan patriarch Fu Yi, Fu Xiaorou, her other identity is the wife of Sheng Zhuohuai, the patriarch of the second largest clan in Yin'an, that is, Sheng Shuiyu and Sheng Wuyu and the biological mother of Sheng Yanran, the eldest princess.

With such a distinguished status of the Fu family, it is naturally more than enough to be a guest.

After the Fu family was seated, the other guests in the hall stopped chatting and sat down in the viewing seats.

The scene gradually quieted down, and Xun Ju and his wife, the wife of the patriarch of the Xun clan, Yu, also appeared at the door, followed by Xun Guangyan.
