The three siblings of the Cen family hurriedly had dinner with Master Bu Operator, and then entered the study to discuss the matter.

At the same time, An Sanshao, who caught up with Mu Xiuri and went to Huanshan to have fun, asked people to light lanterns and told Zhou Dafu, Wei Zhong and others to kneel on the ground, and picked out these four kinds of beans from a pile of beans mixed with mung beans, lentils, peas, and black beans, and put them in four bowls.

He also said when the pick was finished, when they would be able to sleep.

Or fill the porcelain bowl with beans to be picked, and the task is completed, and the person is allowed to enter the room to rest.

The Zhou and Wei families were speechless and depressed about An Sanshao's approach! But their little lives are all taught by the An family, and whatever An Sanshao says, they have to do something. Everyone only picked the beans while cursing An Sanshao and those inhuman secret guards.

They are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. What else can you do besides picking beans?

If they are restless, the secret guards of the An family, who are ten times more ferocious than the robbers and bandits, will use knives to make them worse than death.

Those guards are not reasonable people. They kill people as naturally as they eat three meals a day.

During the day, when An Sanshao tied their hands and ran them all over the mountain with a horse, some people protested, saying that An Sanshao was too much, scolding him for being an unreasonable madman, and saying that he was going to leave Huanshan and go home.

As a result, An Sanshao only needed a gesture, and the secret guards who were guarding him and monitoring them while protecting him jumped out at once, one of them abolished the tendons of the shouter, one broke the tendons of the man, and the last one cut off the man's tongue.

Cruel blood in an instant. Fishily wasted one person. This completely deterred others who wanted to follow the noise.

Zhou Dafu, Wei Zhong, Zhou Yuanda and other culprits were taken special care by An Sanshao, and they were put forward separately, put under their noses, and kept a close eye on them.

Once they picked up and closed their eyelids, or put the beans in the wrong bowl, An Sanshao would whip them on them as a wake-up call.

Zhou Yuanda is the youngest, and he has never suffered this kind of hardship before. During the day, he had been tossed by An Sanshao for a whole day, and he was already extremely tired, and his eyelids weighed like a thousand catties. I can't even open my eyes, and I have to pick the lights and pick the beans at this time.

No one in a normal person can bear it.

Zhou Yuanda naturally couldn't hold on. He had only picked a quarter of an hour of beans, and little by little he sat on his knees and fell asleep.

An Sanshao had been paying attention to him all the time, and when he saw him asleep, he whipped him on his handsome face. Instantly left a blood mark: "Then pick it up for me!" When you proposed to let my sister plant the broken corn seedlings that were destined to freeze to death in the snow, and forced her to carry dung for irrigation with her husband, not to mention how energetic you were! ”

"You can't hold on. Zhou Dashao really has a good skin, this person is really unbearable! No wonder you haven't done anything serious in your life! ”

"Stare at what!" An Sanshao whipped another whip on the back of Zhou Yuanda, who was angry and silent, and hated him to the ground, knocking him to the ground and knocking down the bowls containing mung beans, lentils, peas, and black beans respectively. Zhou Yuanda's beans that he had so hard to sort and put were all scattered, causing him to start again.

"Haha!" An San rarely saw this. One person laughed wantonly and flamboyantly: "You deserve it!" Look, God can't get used to you! ”

"Anzhijun!" Zhou Yuanda got out of anger, forgot his fear, jumped up and clenched his fists, and rushed to An Sanshao to beat him.

As a result, An Sanshao easily dodged his fist and stepped him on the ground instead. The other kick kicked him several times, causing him to foam blood in his mouth.

Zhou Yuanda didn't beg for mercy, Zhou Dafu and his wife Wei couldn't stand it, afraid that their only son would be killed, so they rushed over and hugged Zhou Yuanda. kneeling and kowtowing to An Sanshao and begging for mercy; One hugged An Sanshao's leg and cried and begged him to let Zhou Yuanda have a way out.

An Sanshao didn't want Zhou Yuanda's life in the first place. He felt that Zhou Yuanda had also learned enough lessons today, so he accepted it when he saw it, and said to Zhou Yuanda, who was staring at him with resentful eyes: "If it weren't for my teacher...... Brother said. I want to keep you and give her a test, and today I will slaughter you and throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves. ”

After speaking, An Sanshao raised his head and yawned, feeling sleepy, and he said to Dark Wu and Mr. Xu, who had made meritorious contributions: "You stay." Bring someone to watch them for me. Whoever is lazy will be whipped until he does not dare. My lord, I'll go and rest first. ”

Hey, his sister has been gone for fifty-eight days. I wonder when she'll return? An Sanshao looked at the night sky of Haoyue and sighed sadly: I hope that my junior sister will be safe, and then come back soon.

Alas! It is said that they don't see each other for a day, such as every three autumns. Fifty-eight years have passed since they last met, and they are almost in the middle of life.

Sister! When exactly will you return?

An Sanshao didn't know why, he was a little anxious in his heart, and he always felt that something bad would happen. He thought: Recently, he and his grandfather have dealt with the tail of the An family's provocation of civil unrest. No matter how much he Zhou Dashao tries to get to the bottom of it, he can't catch their handles.

Maybe he can be "seriously ill" at the right time, take a long sick leave, and go to the capital to help his junior sister...... and Da Lang's junior brother.

Now the junior sister has only a slight impression of him, and she still treats him as a brother. Don't look for opportunities to promote the relationship between them, maybe his sister will have another heart.

The well-dressed birds in the capital. The beast is everywhere, and if his junior sister is not careful, she will be deceived and abducted.

Let's just say that the six princes are the well-dressed representatives, but they have never given up on his junior sister. If he succeeds, he hides his junior sister. Where do you tell him to find his wife?

This time he had to seize the opportunity to go to Beijing to have a good look. It's best to have a hero to save the beauty, and while moving his junior sister, he also moved his two difficult brothers-in-law. Make your way of chasing your wife smoother.

He is twenty-four or five years old, and ordinary men of the same age as him have given birth to several children. He's connected to his heart. No one is holding their hands yet! It's really bitter to think about!

What's the matter, I have to conquer my junior sister as soon as possible and marry her home!

An Sanshao made up his mind, and he sank into sleep with peace of mind. He planned to get up tomorrow, so he went to Mr. Xu and Mr. Ji to discuss how to get a realistic serious illness, take a long vacation, and go to the capital to chase his wife.

The next day, before dawn, An Sanshao got up and took Mr. Xu and Mr. Ji out of the warm bed. Forcing them to pretend to be sick for his ideas.

At the same time, Cen Erniang's three brothers and sisters who were far away in the capital were all dressed neatly, put on thick cloaks, and rode horses against the cold wind. Ran towards Cen Moshan Mansion.

They planned to solve the matter of Cen Sanlang's return to the sect first, and then go back to the long-term plan and think about how to get Cen Dalang out of the capital safely and justifiably.

Cen Moshan heard that only Cen Sanlang was going to return to the sect in Cen Erye's family, and the rest of the people were reluctant to return to Hong'an Mansion, so he felt a little lost and a little embarrassed.

From his personal standpoint. He hopes that Cen Erniang's family will return to the Cen family in Hong'an.

But Cen Erniang's family had a resolute attitude, and only gave him two choices, either Cen Sanlang returned to the sect or no one returned to the sect.

Cen Moshan didn't have to think about it at all, and directly chose the first one.

In fact, in the second room of the Cen family, what he values most is Cen Sanlang. And what he wants most is Cen Saburo.

Of course, Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang, who studied under the master of the fortune operator. Cen Moshan also values it.

He persuaded Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang a few more words, but the brother and sister rejected categorically, and finally gave up.

After a long sigh, Cen Moshan asked several of his children to spend time with Cen Erniang and their brothers and sisters, and he went back to the room by himself, quickly drafted a leave of absence, and personally carried it into the palace.

At noon that day, Cen Moshan accompanied the saint in the palace and had a tasteless lunch, in exchange for a five-day holiday. When he returned home, he took off his heavy and cumbersome official uniform, changed into civilian clothes, and ordered some retinues and guards. With the three brothers and sisters of the Cen family, they rode towards Hong'an Mansion.

They arrived at Hong'an's ancestral house that night.

Cen Moshan didn't let Cen Erniang and the three go back to Xifu, and directly took them to live in Dongfu, so as not to alarm the other elders and disturb their dreams.

Early in the morning of the second day, Cen Erniang took advantage of Cen Moshan to take Cen Sanlang to the main courtyard of the East Mansion. When he met the patriarch and the patriarch's wife, he woke up Cen Dalang and went back to Xifu with him.

Cen Erniang is used to wearing men's clothes, even if she returns to the Cen family's ancestral house, she is still dressed as a man. She and Cen Dalang have been away from Xifu for a few years, and the little guy guarding the door has already changed. The little guy didn't recognize them at all, so he just stopped them at the door.

Cen Dalang and Cen Erniang reported their names, and rewarded the little guy with ten taels of silver, and let him go in and pass it on.

Two quarters of an hour later, Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang were taken into the courtyard of the third master of Cen San. The large raindrop-shaped rock engraved with "Shochiku Yaju" in front of the left front of the gate of the courtyard is still the same as before.

The layout of the courtyard is the same as before, as if nothing has changed.

But the state of mind of their brother and sister has changed dramatically compared with a few years ago.

Cen San was waiting for Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang in the living room, compared to the almost unchanged courtyard, Cen San Ye has changed compared to back then.

His face was wrinkled like an old tree root, his breathing was fast and slow, his hands were shaking, his eyes were cloudy, his hair was white and black, the roots of his hair were all white, and his beard was white.

The whole person was gloomy, obviously only sixty, and it seemed as if he had reached his old age, and he might go west at any time.

Cen Erniang is a doctor, just take a closer look at Cen San, you know that his time is running out.

Time did not treat this old man well, but pushed him to Huangquan Road.

Cen Erniang felt a little relieved and a little sad in her heart. The old man in front of him has many wrongs and few rights in his life, and he is mediocre. He had done great harm to their family, especially her beloved father.

Before she saw him, she hated him very much, and occasionally when she thought of him, she couldn't help frowning, wishing that she would never see him again.

But when I saw him at this time, my disgust faded suddenly, and when I saw him see their brother and sister, her body trembled with joy, and she even laughed out of tears, and she suddenly had no sadness or joy.

It's just that some people pity this old man from the bottom of their hearts.

She should have hated him, but the bloodline was so wonderful, and with the magic of time, it could offset a qiē hatred.

"Grandfather, you're old." Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang bowed to the excited Third Master Cen San, stood up and walked in front of him, and said softly, "We're back to visit you." ”

"Good, good, good!" Master Cen San said yes vigorously, and his pale face flushed with excitement. "You're back...... That's it! ”

Chief Steward Liu, who had been following Cen San's side to take care of him, saw Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang, and his eyes were red with excitement: "The eldest young master, the second girl...... You're finally back! The third master has been missing you all these years. Why don't you see the second master, the second wife and the third young master? ”

"That's it!" Master Cen San opened his eyes wide and searched for Cen Sanlang: "Where is San Lang?" He didn't come back with you? ”

"San Lang is in the East Mansion with the hall uncle, discussing with the patriarch." When Cen Erniang heard that Cen San only cared about Cen Sanlang, and completely forgot that he still had a son and daughter-in-law, her voice became cold: "What they discussed is the matter of returning to the sect that you have in mind." ”

"Returning to the Sect? Good! Great goodness! Cen San's eyes were shining again, he didn't care about greeting Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang, and urged Liu Da Steward: "Old Liu! Quick, help me to Dongfu! Brother, they want to discuss the matter of returning to the sect, how can they leave me alone? ”

Seeing that Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang's faces were like frost, Steward Liu silently stood aside to make way for Cen San, and his face was a little embarrassed.

He helped the third master Cen to stand up, and reminded him in a low voice in his ear: "Master, are the eldest young master and the second girl still there?" ”

"Whatever they do! Help me to see Saburo! The third master Cen said happily: "Our young man Xie Yuan, I haven't seen it yet!" It is said that San Lang has the etiquette of Zhou Lang and the talent of Zhuge . This is the pride and hope of our Xifu! Lao Liu, move faster! ”

"Delay me to see Saburo, be careful of your skin! Ha ha! God has eyes, we have San Lang in Xifu, why not prosper! I also have the face to go down to see my ancestors! Ahaha! ”

Steward Liu looked at Cen Dalang and Cen Erniang again and again, and looked at their expressionless faces, feeling a little apprehensive.

But the third master Cen is anxious, and he has been urging him to go quickly, and he can't say anything more, so he helped the third master Cen and left Cen Dalang and Cen Erniang behind.

"Huh! Eldest brother, grandfather, no, it's the third master of Cen San, it's really ten years like a day. Cen Erniang sneered: "It's only because of me that I saw that he was old and weak, and he softened his heart." What a ......."

"You don't know what kind of virtue he is today! Why be sad for such people! Cen Dalang helped Cen Erniang to walk out, "Let's go, eldest brother will take you around our former yard." See what's changed. ”

"Okay." Cen Erniang smiled again, followed Cen Dalang, and walked out of the house.

There is no change in Xifu except for "Songzhu Yaju", the original Mo Changxuan of Cen Erye, Lin's Nuanmei Hall, Cen Dalang's Wutong Courtyard and Cen Erniang's Plum Garden have all changed their appearance, and their names have also changed.

The servants in the house have basically been replaced.

Cen Dalang and Cen Erniang followed Chang Sui, who was sent by Steward Liu to show them the way, and they didn't see a few familiar faces along the way.

Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang turned around for a while, sat on the stone bench under the hundred-year-old plane tree in the Wutong Courtyard, and looked up at the branches. She sighed with emotion: "Everything in Xifu has changed, and it is no longer the same as before." Look at the scenery of the house today, it's really ...... It's better not to return! ”

"It's not our home in the first place, so it's not the same." Cen Dalang said indifferently: "You have the leisure to sigh about this, why don't you think about it more, how can you help him inherit the Xifu as much as possible?" (To be continued.) )
