Chapter Twenty-Six: The First Confrontation

After a short stay at the door, the group was invited into Shi's house, Lu Xiaoruo and Gu Yiling were also invited to enter as acquaintances in Shi Aming's mouth, Lu Xiaoruo didn't know what Shi Aming was worried about, so he hid their identities, but looking at his restrained expression, he felt that this place was very unusual.

"Uncle, this is your home?" Everyone was standing outside the front hall, Lu Xiaoruo looked around, and found that this family was not an ordinary villager, and Lu Xiaoruo was surprised by the "Shi Family" plaque hanging on the door, her ancestors were also glorious, but there was no inscription plaque, just a sign next to a red bucket - large and small vineyards, so this family ...... It's the real big family.

As soon as you enter the door, the first thing you see is the corridor on both sides, the verandah is very long, winding to both sides and disappearing in the dark, on which is carved mahogany, the serpentine pattern is coiled in it, the verandah is surrounded by huge banana leaves, it should have just rained before, whether the verandah or the bluestone slab bricks are attached to a thin layer of water stains, and the banana leaves are crystal clear under the light.

Then walk along the soft stone road, it is close to the main hall, the red and elegant silk official lamps are hung on the treetops on both sides, and there is a bit of "the lamp tree is a thousand care, and the bright moon comes one by one" taste, but the white flowers on it are conspicuous, and it also makes people understand what happened in this house.

The people who come are vast, but as soon as they enter the hall, they all have a sense of sudden enlightenment, this hall is very large, connected to the room, only separated by a wall, the passage on both sides, blocked by two ink canvas curtains, the right side is painted with a thousand mountains and high clouds, and the left side is a giant python with its head raised, although it is two artistic conceptions, but it always feels like a painting.

In front is the position of the head of the house, one on each side, the male right and the female left sit north and face south, there is a silk painting hanging above the middle table, painted with plum blossoms, like the word "Ba", a bunch of white chrysanthemums are inserted in the glass exquisite bottle, the furniture of this room is carved in Nanmu, and the decoration is also very exquisite.

After a while, the master of the Shi family, first achieved the main position, he was about fifty years old, rich and round, full forehead, small but clear, not moving or angry, is a little majestic, but this age is obviously younger than Shi Aming, Shi Aming and other brothers and sisters sat down in the guest position, Shi Aming sat on the outside, except for Gu Yiling and the man in the suit Gu Daochang who came over there, there were four brothers and sisters left in this family and a few of their relatives.

"This is Gu Daochang, everyone knows each other." Of the six positions, Gu Daochang over there also occupied one, and the four people he accompanied stood behind him, but he didn't see the woman in white, Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo did not sit down, but stood behind Shi Aming, there was no one behind him, and it was always empty.

It was the head of the family who spoke, that is, Shi Amin's second brother, five Shi brothers and sisters, two sons and three daughters, and Shi Amin's second brother, Shi Jiaming, inherited the position of the head of the family.

"But second brother, isn't this matter handled by the eldest brother? Did you talk to your big brother or did you make your own decisions?! Shi Shuxiang, the fifth sister of the Shi family, stood up and spoke for Shi Aming, she was not dressed like a mountain person at all, wearing glasses, high hair, light blue dress and short skirt, looking a little younger, about forty years old, and there was a sixteen-year-old boy next to her, who should be her son.

"Shuxiang, do you want to talk to the eldest brother about what the second brother does? Don't forget that this position of head of the family belongs to the second brother, you and I are married daughters, don't intervene casually. The third sister Shi Luofeng scolded Shi Shuxiang, her face was relatively old, she didn't ask carefully, she might think that this was Shi Shuxiang's mother or aunt.

As soon as Shi Shuxiang wanted to stand up, he was pressed down by the fourth sister next to him, "Hey, third sister, don't come back according to what you say, we gathered for my mother, I don't care if I am in charge of the family or not, what age it is, I only listen to the words of the eldest brother." Shi Xiangmo patted the eldest brother next to her, her eldest brother was the most benevolent and benevolent person, she had been very angry before, I don't know what method the second brother used, so that the old rule of passing on men but not women, and passing on elders and not young, was destroyed in his hands.

"Xiangmo, it's okay, since the second brother has made a decision, we will listen to him." Shi Aming smiled, hoping that the relationship would not be so tense, and he also cast an apologetic look at Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo, Gu Yiling shook his shoulders and didn't mind. Although Shi Xiangmo was annoyed, she finally stopped her mouth under Shi Aming's earnestness, and the three of them, the eldest brother Shi Aming, the fourth sister Shi Xiangmo, and the fifth sister Shi Shuxiang were all sitting on the left half, opposite the third sister Shi Luofeng and Gu Daochang and an empty position.

"Yes, you see that the eldest brother has been out for so long and hasn't seen him bring someone back, my mother is going to be buried here, but I can't wait for you, this is Gu Xiaohe I invited from Panlong Mountain, Gu Daochang, he is very famous in that area, and he will definitely be able to help us complete this funeral well."

Panlong Mountain?

Gu Yiling smiled slightly, curled his hair and asked, "Panlong Mountain is my territory, why don't I know you, Dao Chief?" ”

Gu Yiling suddenly spoke up, startling everyone present except Lu Xiaoruo.

"Who are you?" The fifth sister Shi Shuxiang couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw this curly-haired man standing behind Shi Aming, she didn't know her, did she know her eldest brother?

"Ah, ah, this is ...... It's ......" Shi Aming didn't know what to say, he didn't really want to refute his second brother's face, but he felt sorry, and he didn't know what to say in a hurry.

"This, the instrument is extraordinary, unfathomable, Meiyu has the style of a general, according to my guess, it may be a Taoist brought by your eldest brother." Gu Xiaohe, who was on the side, said to Shi Jiaming, Shi Jiaming frowned slightly, and asked in a dissatisfied tone, "Big brother, did you bring someone over?" ”

"I, I, I ......" Shi Amin was hesitant, and the two younger sisters around him were also anxious.

"Yes, we are here with this uncle, we are from Dream City, and we are specially praying for your mother's blessing, it's just ...... We have asked not to see other Taoists here, are you going to break your promise now? Lu Xiaoruo responded loudly, and only then did everyone notice this delicate girl.

"Presumptuous, if you want to go, you will go, our Daoist Gu is the Taoist of Panlong Mountain Panlong Temple, and you little-known little goods dare to make a request?!" There was a person behind Gu Xiaohe who scolded sharply, and the hall suddenly became dangerous.

"What a dragon view." Gu Yiling sneered, slowly paced to the vacant seat and sat down, Lu Xiaoruo followed, standing on the side of the door, "I said, Panlong Mountain is my territory, how could I not know that there is an additional Panlong Temple out of thin air, and your surname disgusts me, you don't deserve to have the same as me." ”

"You!" For Gu Yiling's thin-lip camera, Gu Xiaohe and no one over there felt an unspeakable anger, Shi Jiaming hurriedly came up to play a round, "Two Taoist leaders, don't be like this, since they are all here to help my mother overlive, please try to be as kind as possible, I don't want my mother's funeral to become so twists and turns, so let's do it, we are capable people here, how about you each rely on your ability?" ”

"Patriarch Shi, we didn't say that before, it's not interesting for you to do this." Gu Xiaohe didn't say a word, but the people around him couldn't bear it one by one, Shi Jiaming calmed down, "Gu Daochang, don't be impatient, this is just a suggestion from the old decay, don't you see that Daoist hasn't spoken yet?" ”

?

Everyone's eyes brushed to Gu Yiling, Gu Yiling touched his chin and smiled at Lu Xiaoruo, Lu Xiaoruo was also happy and impatient, "Let's put it this way, I am very receptive to Patriarch Shi's suggestion, I have nothing to reserve, but you, don't show mercy to your subordinates, and besides, I don't like the title of Dao Chief, you can call me Editor-in-Chief Gu, this is my Editor-in-Chief Lu next to me......"
