The ancestral land came on the fifth day after Shu Xiuhe's burial, and early in the morning, the door of the Hou Mansion was knocked open. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Second Uncle Shu, who got the report from the porter, came out to greet him, and when he saw the old man at the head, he immediately bowed his hand, "Ah Ru has seen the second uncle." ”

The old man at the head looked a little younger than the Guan family, with a few strands of white hair on his temples, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that of Second Uncle Shu, with a solemn look on his face in Chinese characters, and when he saw Second Uncle Shu's salute, he responded lightly, beside him, there were several old people who were about the same age as him, surrounded by a group of young and middle-aged people of different ages.

"Second uncle, fellow sect elders, you have been running all the way, the guest house is ready, please go with Ah Ru to wash up, have a good breakfast, and rest." Second Uncle Shu said politely.

The person called the second uncle by Shu is the patriarch of this generation of Shu clan, after the first generation of Guangping Marquis was given the title of Guangping Marquis by the founding emperor, the eldest son inherited the Hou Mansion, and the second son returned to the ancestral land to succeed to the position of patriarch.

These two branches, the Hou Mansion supports the façade of the Shu clan in the capital, and it is also in order not to stay away from the power center of Shangjing, and the ancestral branch guards the clan, most of the people of the Shu clan live in the ancestral land, and the two branches watch each other.

The patriarch of this generation, according to the generation, is the second uncle of Second Uncle Shu, Patriarch Shu listened to Second Uncle Shu's words, and brushed his sleeves, "Brother Xuan is injured, I rushed all the way to see him, let's go to see him first, if I don't see him, I don't feel at ease, and I don't have any taste to eat." ”

Another old man beside the Shu patriarch also spoke: "The second brother has not eaten well and slept well all the way these days, he is always worried about Brother Xuan'er's injury, and he has been chattering, and now he has finally come to Beijing, don't go to see Brother Xuan, don't talk about the second brother, even we old guys can't rest assured." ”

Originally, Brother Xuan'er's relationship with the clan was in jeopardy, if they really went to visit him after washing up and changing clothes, how could it be reflected that they valued Brother Xuan?

What could be more sincere than coming all the way and visiting Brother Xuan non-stop as soon as he arrived?

It is precisely to take advantage of the dust on the clothes on their bodies, so that Brother Xuan can see it.

Second Uncle Shu looked at the others carefully, and when he saw that these people all looked very approving of each other, he sighed in his heart, just looking at the attitude of the people from the clan, he did not wash off the dust when he entered the mansion, nor did he propose to see his mother first, but to visit Brother Xuan'er, he already knew Brother Xuan'er's status in their hearts.

"Second uncle, sect elders, please come with me, Brother Xuan has been recuperating in his yard for the past few days, and I will take you to visit him." Second Uncle Shu no longer persuaded him, since the people of the clan wanted to go to see Brother Xuan'er, he took it to see.

Second Uncle Shu let his little servant take the first step to report to Shu Hongxuan, and when he arrived at Fuyunju, he saw Shu Hongxuan waiting at the gate of the courtyard with Jiang Yingrong, and when he saw their group coming here, he took a few steps forward to greet him.

"Brother Xuan has seen the patriarch and the clan elders." Shu Hongxuan couldn't bow because of the inconvenience of his left hand, but he owed slightly and said hello.

As soon as the Shu patriarch saw Shu Hongxuan take a few steps forward, he immediately quickened his pace, strode past Shu Second Uncle, came to Shu Hongxuan, stretched out his hands, and wanted to support Shu Hongxuan.

"The second grandfather knew the news of your injury, and he was so anxious that he rushed to Beijing all the way, and just entered the Hou Mansion, he was anxious to come and see you, and he forgot that he hadn't washed his body for a while, and it was not good to bring the dust to you."

Saying this, Patriarch Shu took a few steps back, and signaled with his actions not to bring dust to Shu Hongxuan, and the people who followed him also stood on their feet, none of them leaned forward, but they looked at Shu Hongxuan with a worried face.

Shu Hongxuan's eyebrows moved slightly, Patriarch Shu's words, and the actions of the group of people in front of him, made him suddenly understand the attitude of the people in the ancestral land.

Since it was for him to see, Shu Hongxuan also followed Patriarch Shu's words, "Thank you Patriarch for your care for Brother Xuan." ”

Patriarch Shu has been looking at him carefully since he saw Shu Hongxuan, and saw that even though his left hand was bandaged and his face was still a touch of paleness, he still did not fail to hide his gentle and elegant temperament, nor did he hide his high-ranking momentum, and he immediately called out in his heart.

While admiring the Shu clan in his heart, he praised the Shu clan for having a junior Zhong Min Yuxiu, and at the same time scolded Shu Xiu in his heart for having his brain in water, such a child who can lead the Shu clan back to the center of power, or even closer, actually wants to destroy it!

No wonder he was killed by thunder, it must be that the ancestors couldn't see it, and they couldn't bear the future of the Shu clan being ruined by Shu Xiuhe, so they punished him.

Patriarch Shu thought so in his heart, when he heard Shu Hongxuan's unfamiliar name, he suddenly sighed in his heart, carefully observed Shu Hongxuan's expression, and wanted to see Shu Hongxuan's thoughts about the clan, but found that his efforts were in vain, and he couldn't see any other meaning from the handsome face in front of him.

Sure enough, he is worthy of following His Majesty and getting His Majesty's valued confidants, even an old fox like him, who has lived for decades, can't see through his thoughts.

This kid has come through the experience.

Patriarch Shu thought so in his heart, his face was slightly surprised, and he looked at Shu Hongxuan with a smile, his tone was very kind, and there was a kind feeling, "Brother Xuan'er is the first time to see me, and there are some who are not familiar with it." I am your grandfather's cousin, the second in the clan, you can call me the second grandfather. ”

After speaking, the Shu patriarch looked at Shu Hongxuan with anticipation.

Shu Hongxuan is not a fledgling hairy boy, how can he be led by the nose like this?

He smiled warmly, tilted his head slightly and said to Jiang Yingrong beside him: "Lady, you have also come to see the patriarch and the clan elders." ”

He ignored Patriarch Shu's tentative words, as if he hadn't heard them.

Jiang Yingrong smiled and blessed her body, "I've seen the patriarch, I've seen the clan elders." ”

Patriarch Shu sighed in his heart, it seems that it is not a matter of words to let Brother Xuan recognize the clan.

Patriarch Shu is also an old fox who is an old man, and he smiled slightly at the moment, as if he had not been lost face by Shu Hongxuan at all, and no longer mentioned the matter of the title, but looked at Jiang Yingrong with a smile, "Brother Xuan is injured, and it is a good child to have a granddaughter-in-law to take care of Brother Xuan." ”
