Especially in the mid-autumn season, it is the spring and autumn festival, and it is also a festival to celebrate the harvest and comfort the ancestors.
After the harvest is completed, the Autumn Moon Festival is the day, the doctors and scholars want to sacrifice the ancestors of the family temple, the Qing wants to sacrifice the Sheji, the monarch sacrifices to the Zongmiao Sheji, and the Son of Heaven wants to sacrifice the heaven and earth, the four poles, and the eight wildernesses.
Even ordinary Chinese people who are not qualified to sacrifice in the ritual system will put a glass of turbid wine and a few plates of fruits and vegetables at home, and quietly sacrifice to the tablets of their ancestors.
Seeing that tomorrow is the day of the Autumn Moon Festival, Ji is single as the head of the Ji family, and he is very busy inside and out.
Throughout the year, many family temples are dilapidated and need to be carefully maintained.
Just as he was presiding over the family temple, his confidant Ji Li hurriedly came to his side and whispered a few words.
Ji Dan's face changed slightly, and after being slightly stunned, he asked Ji Li to command everyone instead of him, but he didn't alarm everyone and quietly went to the backyard.
In the northwest corner of the Ji family's house, there is a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.
This mansion, which seems to be inhabited by ordinary Ji clansmen, has no conspicuous features at all, and Ji Dan immediately dodged in when he saw that no one was paying attention to him.
In the courtyard, there was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man waiting here, wearing a silk linen regular clothes, showing that this person was by no means an ordinary person, even if he was wearing regular clothes, it could be seen that this man often wore armor.
"Big brother, why did you come here without saying a word?"
Ji Dan's heart trembled when he saw this man, it turned out that this person was Ji Dan's brother Ji Sheng, although he was very qualified when he was a child, he was favored by the head of the previous generation, and he also had relatively good cultivation qualifications.
However, after all, because he was the eldest son of the concubine, he did not have the right to inherit the title, and he was intimidated by the laws and regulations of the Xing State, the etiquette system and the strong opposition of many retainers, and finally the eldest son Jidan inherited the title.
Ji Sheng was angry and threw himself into the hands of Doctor Fei, and successfully advanced to the seventh rank of the lower armor last year.
You must know that even if Jidan obtains many resources by virtue of his position as the head of the family, he has been trapped in the peak of Jiupin since he stepped into the Jiupin Lux realm five years ago and has been unable to break through, which shows that Jisheng's qualifications are unique in ten thousand.
It is precisely because of this that Ji Dan is extremely uneasy in his heart.
If it is another family, the return of the clan at this time is naturally to participate in the family memorial to the ancestors, but my cousin has never returned home to participate in the family memorial since the second year of his father's death.
Ji Sheng looked coldly at his younger brother, who was born as the eldest son, and then sneered: "If I don't come, won't the things that Doctor Fei explained will be covered up by you?" This is how you repay Dr. Fei's trust in you? That's how I was rewarded? ā
Ji Dan's heart trembled, could it be that Ji Sheng knew what he couldn't do?
Seeing the two servants who followed Ji Sheng leaving, Ji Dan's face was not good-looking, but he endured it, and had to smile bitterly: "Brother, all the means that my brother has planned, you also knew earlier, and he tried his best to recruit the farmers of the Qing clan to cut off the cold stream and soak the salt to cut off his way out.
I don't know what magical means the Qing family child has used, this year, the Qing family's 300 square well field grain harvest time is actually a few days earlier than in previous years, and it is actually earlier than our Ji family's soil to complete the harvest, so far my brother is still confused.
Before, your nephew Ji Sheng offended the Qing child by recruiting a farmer, hated him for breaking his legs, and secretly sent three servants to try to assassinate the child.
Even if the three servants are not successful, they have all experienced a war in Northern Xinjiang, and they are all tall and strong, all of them are good at forging the second stage, but they are all lost in the hands of the Qing family, and even the ebony sword you gave to the child was also lost in the hands of the Qing family! ā
"You said that Sheng'er was broken by that Qing's child, and there is no possibility of cultivation?"
Ji Sheng's eyes widened suddenly, and his face suddenly turned blue, "Qing's child dares to do this!" Even the ebony sword was lost, and it cost me a lot of money! ā
Ji Dan nodded helplessly: "Sheng'er is my second son after all, how can I not feel distressed when he is injured, but the first few **** personally went to the Qing clan to investigate."
found that the little boy was far from being the foolish and cowardly person as rumored, and his family had a dragon bird to guard the retainers, who would dare to kill him? ā
Ji Dan didn't dare to mention his private attempt to assassinate Qingyang, on the one hand, for fear of leaking out, and on the other hand, he may not have the intention of being wary of Ji Sheng.
Where did Ji Sheng know his thoughts, he lowered his head and paced slowly, and after a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Having said that, what Doctor Fei explained before must be done.
Dr. Fei led the army to Northern Xinjiang before, why do you think he deliberately left me here? Isn't it all for the sake of the Qing family's children?
For some reason, Dr. Fei attached great importance to this matter, and he did not hesitate to kill and wound many soldiers and dozens of soldiers for this reason, and even your two uncles and I were killed at that time.
This shows Dr. Fei's intentions, and all his painstaking plans must be completed.
Besides, whether it is the orders of Dr. Fei's side, or the old family feud between my Ji clan and the Qing clan, this matter must be completed for him.
What's more, a month ago, Qing's child blatantly broke his legs and abolished his cultivation path, and when will he wait if he doesn't repay the new hatred and old hatred at this time? Do you want to wait for the barbarian to come back at the beginning of spring? ā
Speaking of this person, Ji Sheng was inevitably a little jealous in his heart, he himself had only become a subordinate soldier for about a year, but this person had already become famous in Beilin City ten years ago.
In addition, he seems to have foreign blood on his body, and his strength is extremely great, even Doctor Fei is afraid of it, let alone Doctor Ye attaches so much importance to it.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Ji Dan was jealous and puzzled, he was afraid that Ji Sheng would have ambitions to covet the position of the head of the Ji family, so he didn't dare to tell the news of the death of the soldiers, the soldiers, and the other three servants.
Fortunately, Ji Dan's force in his hands was by no means only nine people in the land sealing order, and his eldest son Ji Yan also led three soldiers and six servants to serve in northern Xinjiang.
As long as Ji An returns with a clear return, there is no need to be afraid that Ji Sheng will covet the position of the head of the family, that is, he must act carefully within half a year from now.
Ji Sheng didn't pay attention to Ji Dan's expression, he said fiercely with a gloomy face: "I don't dare to assassinate the lord on the bright side, can't I make a secret move?"
Besides, I will not force murder, even if I destroy his grain, grass and grain! Wouldn't it be happier than your clumsy tactics of recruiting the Qing Clan's farmer? ā
"Now that my brother has lost five servants in the hands of the Qing clan, the family is already understaffed!" Ji said with a difficult face.
Now that only the last three servants of the Ji clan were left to maintain order, he was not willing to send any more servants to his death.
But Ji Sheng is also a more valued subordinate soldier around Dr. Fei, in case Ji Sheng takes the opportunity to say a few words in front of Dr. Fei, he is afraid of causing trouble.
"Ai Ai, Hugh has to be a lady!" Ji Sheng looked at Ji Dan with disdain and said, "The servants and soldiers that the Ji clan has trained over the years have been taught by you so uselessly, how can they come in handy?" I have my own arrangements for this! ā
Speaking of this, Ji Sheng took out a domino the size of an egg and smiled.
The purple-black dominoes depict a terrifying ghost face, the purple-black bones with a pale white texture, and the strange flames in the depths of the eye sockets, which made Ji Dan shocked.
