"Then it seems difficult for me to see my grandmother?"
"Yes, but I think if you ask to see your uncle first, it should be fine. He has the best relationship with your mother. ”
Hearing Shan's answer, Ouyang Jinxi couldn't help but look at him sideways and said with a smile: "You know all this?" That's amazing. ”
Flash glanced at Ouyang Jinxi angrily and didn't speak, although he was irritable, but he was the most careful one among the three Marigold Ellipse and Marigold Jiaowa, but he didn't say this, under the past few days of getting along, Flash already understood the degree of blackness of his master.
He coughed and continued: "The current head of the family is your eldest uncle, but your younger uncle and eldest uncle do not agree with each other, and there are many forces in private, and basically the side branches are on your little uncle's side." The upper echelons of the Chijin family are controlled by the lineage headed by your eldest uncle, while the bottom layer is basically controlled by the side lineage headed by your junior uncle, which means that the person you see first must be your younger uncle's people. ”
Ouyang Jinxi held his chin and thought seriously, according to Shan's news, it was more difficult to see his uncle, because his grandmother didn't care about anything, and now he was in charge of the eldest uncle, and it didn't seem appropriate to say that he wanted to see the head of the family as soon as he came up. Besides, two tigers are fighting, and both are quite kings, and it is impossible to say that they want to see the other tiger in front of one tiger.
It seems that the first person to see after going up the mountain should be the little uncle.
Ouyang Jinxi suddenly asked, as if he had thought of something, "Shan, is it possible for us to enter the back mountain directly?" "It seems more appropriate to go directly to see grandma.
Seeing her ask, she smiled mysteriously and said, "Little master, have you forgotten my ability?" ”
As soon as he said this, Ouyang Jinxi thought, yes, this guy has the ability to change space, so it is easy to see the grandmother hidden in the back mountain, just do it without hesitation.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ouyang Jinxi and Shan quickly rushed to the Dongshan Chijin family.
Yancheng is surrounded by three mountain ranges, and the backmost is a demon forest bordering the forest, which belongs to Yuelu Academy.
The three major mountain ranges are controlled by the three major families, the Chijin family to the east, the Ziyan family to the south, and the Zhongli family to the west. The Chijin family was mainly engaged in the ironware, mining and jewelry industries, while the Ziyan family was mainly engaged in silk cloth and grain and oil business.
The most special is the Zhongli family, the Zhongli family belongs to the family of surveyors, the number is relatively small compared to the other two races, but it is indeed one of the most important families in the entire Yuanshan Continent, they use celestial observation and geographical surveys to help the country eliminate natural and man-made disasters.
The head of the Chijin family handed over the baton to the eldest son Chijinqing after the old Taijun Chijin Ying, and the younger son Chijincheng was in charge of its iron industry, and the minerals and jewelry and silverware were all under the control of the upper echelons of the lineage.
It wasn't until Chi Jin Cheng's inner desire was awakened by Yan Wang's Mansion that such a polarized status quo arose within the Chijin clan.
After Ouyang Jinxi listened to the news that he had roughly discovered, he roughly understood the current situation in the entire Chijin clan, in fact, disputes were originally an inevitable result, the descendants and collateral lines have always been like this, and the internal strife of the big family is also the same.
The only thing that makes her wonder is why her grandmother is in seclusion?
"Do you know why my grandma wants to live in seclusion?"
"It should have been decided suddenly after your mother's death. However, although she didn't ask about the affairs of the clan, the four elders still listened to her, and it could be said that she was still the spiritual pillar of the entire Chijin clan. Little master, you don't know yet, the head of the Chijin clan has always been a woman, and the current head of the Chijin clan should be your mother, but because your mother died, it had to be passed on to your uncle. “
I see. I didn't expect that there was such a relationship in this, grandma must have heard that her mother had died, and she was grief-stricken before she went into seclusion and didn't ask about the world.
The silent two soon arrived at the foot of the East Mountain, the East Mountain is all surrounded by cypresses, there is no one else within a radius of 100 miles, just enter the forest protection of the East Mountain, you can see, the tall white marble archway stands in front of the forest guard, three vigorous characters like a mountain and river are engraved on the archway - the Chijin clan.
"Shem, how did we get to the back mountain?" Ouyang Jinxi looked at the archway and asked lightly.
Flash looked left and right and said, "Master, let's go along the left side of the archway first, and when the sun falls, we are going in." Ouyang Jinxi nodded, and walked in with Flash to the left side of the forest ranger.
Soon it was sunset, there was silence around the forest ranger, and Ouyang Jinxi had already reached the courtyard of the back mountain through the spatial passage established by Shan.
If it weren't for the flash of the mountain, ordinary people would not be able to enter, and the entire house was located in a hollowed-out mountain clip, surrounded by bamboo forests, and it was difficult for even birds to fly through here. Grandma is so sad that she chose such a paradise.
Ouyang Jinxi, who has been a person in two lives, has always been alone, and she doesn't know what kind of bond there is between her mother and daughter, until she sees the note left by her mother in this life, she feels a little warm, so she doesn't know what kind of blow her daughter's death is to Chi Jinying.
Just swaggering in? It doesn't seem appropriate, but if you jump in at night, you will be hunted as a bandit.
When Ouyang Jinxi was standing outside the door and pondering, the people in the courtyard already knew that someone was outside the door. After half a ring, no one came in, and the maid in the courtyard looked at the old man sitting under the osmanthus tree in the garden, and saw that she had no reaction, so she got up, walked to the door and said loudly: "Who is coming?" “
Suddenly asked like this, Ouyang Jinxi couldn't help but be startled, and thought that he was coming unknowingly, but he didn't know that the other party already knew about it when she and Flash jumped out of the space passage together.
"I, grandma, I'm Jinxi." Ouyang Jinxi looked for words for a long time, and finally just hugged his thighs and forgot it, it didn't seem to be as easy as this to find a lot of words.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. The white-haired and childish old man in a gray Confucian shirt stood in front of the door, and behind him was a middle-aged woman, the old man looked at the woman in front of him seriously, and could vaguely see his daughter Chi Jinlei from between her eyebrows.
Crimson Shadow's hand holding the cane couldn't help but tremble slightly. Although the person in front of her had already determined the identity of the other party, her mood at this time was difficult for her to calm down.
The Ouyang family didn't explain much about their daughter's death, and they didn't even tell themselves that they had a granddaughter, and they thought that when their already frail and sickly daughter died, they didn't leave their own flesh and blood at all, but they didn't expect to leave such a beautiful granddaughter for themselves.
Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Ouyang Jinxi took out the letter left by his mother from his arms, put it in front of the old man with both hands, and said with a slight smile: "Grandma, you can understand by looking at this." “
The old man took the letter, opened it tremblingly, and couldn't help but cry. This is Lei'er's handwriting, and it's her own daughter.
Ouyang Jinxi looked at the old man who was crying silently in front of him, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, this is a mother, a mother who misses her daughter.
"Grandma......" Before Ouyang Jinxi finished speaking, he was hugged by the old man tightly.
This sentence is enough for no more grandma. Ignoring the maid who was supporting him beside him, the old man hugged Ouyang Jinxi and said, "Good, good granddaughter." And he could no longer speak.
Chi Jinying hugged Ouyang Jinxi, unable to say a word, and the bitterness in his heart was instantly filled with sweetness. She was really tired, tired all these years. Fortunately, the eldest son can share the burden for herself, otherwise she really can't wait to see Ouyang Jinxi.
Sure enough, God was not kind to her Chijin family, and he gave her such a big gift, and his daughter actually left a granddaughter for herself, which is really good, great.
"Lord, master, let's go into the house, it's a great pleasure to see the little lady now, don't cry and break your body." The maid next to her was also overjoyed and persuaded aloud.
A few people entered the house, and Chi Jinying looked at his granddaughter seriously, this child is really amazing, and now his ability is on par with his own, what a good seedling.
The courtyard of the house in the back mountain is very pleasant, next to the main house is the east and west wings, there is a study for guests, and the kitchen is all surrounded by gardens and bamboo forests.
The personal maid Aunt Lian lived in the west wing, and the red golden shadow dominated the bedroom of the main house, and the arrival of Ouyang Jinxi made this campus instantly lively, and she was arranged in the east wing.
Let Ouyang Jinxi into the main house, Chi Jinying kept holding her hand, the grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time, Ouyang Jinxi also told Chi Jinxi about Ouyang Jinxi a few years ago, and what she had experienced, of course, she didn't mention the real Ouyang Jinxi who had died tragically, let her live instead of them, and take care of this old man instead of them.
Ouyang Jinxi has always wondered why her grandmother looks so young, but her hair is all white. She raised her head and asked, "Grandma, ...... your hair?"
Crimson smiled indifferently, "Leave it alone, you said that Flash is one of your demon pets, and there are others." Chijin was like an old naughty boy, talking excitedly.
Ouyang Jinxi has never met such a good old man, she really likes Chijin Ying, but she still cares a lot about whether there is something wrong with her body, so her black hair turns white.
"Grandma is not in a hurry, I am worried about your body. Is something wrong? Ouyang Jinxi asked seriously.
