Xia Jizu's calculation was to avoid meeting his ruthless and unrighteous brother, as for the youngest brother, he died of illness a few years ago, if both of them were alive, Xia Jizu would definitely not be able to fight them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Who knows, when they settled in the tea shop at noon, their whereabouts were discovered by the people who were sent out to inquire about the news, this person is young and strong, and he is naturally clear about who the master asked him to stare at, and even when he dreamed, he could meet Xia Jizu.

One old two strong three children, he repeatedly confirmed that it was correct, and then quickly ran back to report the news, he was overjoyed, I believe that this time I can get a lot of reward, I hope the master can be generous.

Magpie Street in Sanhe County is not only the name auspicious, but also the big ones who live here, with high walls connected to high walls, with houses and houses, and bluestone slabs from the street to the end of the street.

Xia Mansion, just on this Magpie Street, in the early years, the mansion of Xia Mansion was the largest, but now it is compared with the new mansion, but the style is still there, and the luxury is still faintly visible. If Yuan Chu had seen this Xia Mansion earlier, he would not have been amazed by the mansions he saw on the way. Things are afraid to compare, compare and compare, and the good ones become worse.

"Master, the person you asked me to keep an eye on, I saw the Wuli Tea Shop in the east of the city, they were resting there when I saw it, and they were preparing for lunch!"

When Xia Jizong heard this, he no longer looked like he was sitting, he got up and wandered back and forth in the living room, his silk robe wrapped around his bloated figure, which made people feel that this person was very irritable at a glance.

"Then you said, who did you bring with you, but what was out of the ordinary?"

"Two men in the prime of life, and three children, there is nothing else, but I heard them say that they don't plan to enter the city, but want to go directly to worship the ancestors, I'll go back and stare at it!"

"Wait, you don't have to go!" Xia Jizong stopped the subordinate who was going back to inquire about the news, and asked again uneasily: "They didn't recognize you, did they?" ”

"Don't worry, master, even if they see me, they won't recognize me, the little one has never seen them before!"

"Very well, Juan, go down to the butler and get the reward!"

"Eh, the little one will go down first, and you can tell me if there is something!"

Juan won the reward, not to mention how happy he was, he was happy, Xia Jizong couldn't be happy, what he did back then, he knew that he was at a loss, and if he did bad things, he would have to bear the burden. But on the surface, he wants to show that he is right and that he is not wrong.

"Chunlan, prepare the car, let's go to worship the ancestors!"

Xia Jizong's abrupt decision made the maid Chunlan a little unable to react, isn't it all arranged to go tomorrow, why did this master change his mind temporarily, this person is not in the mansion, can he be summoned!

"Master, the young master went to the West Market, and he hasn't come back yet!"

"Mouthful, don't hurry up and notify me!" Xia Jizong doesn't care about these, and if he can't catch it back, he naturally has a family law waiting to be found.

"Yes, I'll go!" After saying that, Chunlan hurriedly ran to inform someone.

Chunlan herself can not command other subordinates, although it is the master's side, but other subordinates still do not carry out her orders. What the next person thinks in his heart is that the old man is old, and it will be clear who will be in charge of the family at that time.

At this time, Chunlan came to the backyard house, found the old woman, and told her about the master's decision to go to worship the ancestors. The old woman Zhu Shi was not surprised, and said that since the old man ordered it, let's go and prepare.

In this way, the real house began to move!

"Where's Tong'er?" It was the subordinates who were busy, and Zhu looked at the people coming and going in the yard, why did his grandson disappear.

Xia Yuantong, the eldest grandson of Xia Jizong, is a very strange person who is missing. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the appearance of several other grandchildren, the Zhu family wouldn't have remembered that the eldest grandson was gone.

But when these words were asked, the people around them didn't know how to answer, some people didn't know where the young master had gone, and some knew but didn't want to say it.

Chunlan obviously knew, and she had said in front of the master that the young master had gone to the West Market. Magpie Street is in the north of Sanhe County, which is close to the county government and belongs to the wealthy area. The West Market, obviously in the west of the city, is full of shops, restaurants, tea shops, and hotels.

But what others don't know is that Chunlan lied, Xia Yuantong didn't go to the West Market at all, but went to the South Gate Street next to the West Market, close to the West Market, where there are Qinglou Chu Pavilions everywhere, who comes back to this kind of place during the day, no wonder Chunlan told the master that the young master went to the West Market, Xia Jizong never doubted it.

Why Chunlan tried her best to conceal it, what benefits Xia Yuantong promised her, this kind of inside information is unknown.

"Chunlan, Tong'er!" Afraid of something, the old woman still asked her.

"The young master said that he was going to the West Market to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said that he would meet in the same window later, and he might come back later!" Chunlan said cautiously.

"This kid, you have to go shopping in person, but you should meet the window later, and you can take care of it in the future!" The old woman said a few words, and she didn't doubt it, and watched the people prepare things again, and Chunlan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

After everything was ready, a few carriages slowly drove towards the north of the city, but there was no Xia Yuantong here, Chunlan had been listening to the old woman's call, but there was no chance to ventilate and report the news.

Xia Jizu didn't notice it at all, his plan had been leaked out of the sight of others, and after lunch, he beckoned his son and grandson to rush to Lingquan Mountain in the north of the city unhurriedly.

The closer you get to the foot of the mountain, the more difficult the road becomes, and even Xia Jizu had to get off the ox cart and walk forward on foot when going uphill.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, the ox cart was tied to the tree, and at this time one person must be assigned to guard it, this work was Xia Shouzhi's turn, and the remaining few people began to climb along the steps of the mountain at night, and looked at the slope, at least forty-five degrees or more, fortunately, Xia Yuanding did not have a fear of heights, otherwise it would be embarrassing to dare not walk halfway up.

It's just that what they didn't pay attention to was that the few carriages that had stopped at the foot of the mountain had long been stopped, and Xia Jizu was destined to have a narrow road.

He didn't pay attention to this, or because there were more than the ancestors of their Xia family buried on this mountain, and anyone in the county who had the ability could build an ancestral mausoleum here.

There are many pines and cypresses on the mountain, especially in the cemetery, the hugging trees abound, under the shade of verdant dark green, the white stones on the mountain are only faintly visible.

"Dad, it's not good!" Sanbo was not attracted by the beautiful scenery of a mountain, he looked ahead and noticed that something was wrong first.

At this time, they also discovered Xia Jizong and his party, the team was spectacular, and it was difficult not to find it. In fact, Xia Yuanding had already noticed it, but he thought that it was another family worshipping his ancestors, so he didn't pay much attention.

"What nonsense, walk well!" Xia Jizu scolded his son in a low voice, of course he saw his second brother, fat and fat, like a pillar.

Around the cemetery, there are neat ashlar walls, no more than one meter high, and after a few steps, even if you have arrived at the ancestral tomb of the Xia family.

"I haven't seen you for a year, big brother, don't come unharmed!" Seeing Xia Jizu, Xia Jizong also forced a smile, but he did a good job on the surface.

"It's so good, it's not a problem to live a few more years!" Xia Jizu has a cold face, how can he still have a good face.

"That's good, big brother often sits at home when he is free!" Xia Jizong said.

Xia Yuanding looked at the tall tombstone in front of him, and there were neat offerings, several kinds of fruits, as well as whole chickens, whole fish, ......, these things that the ancestors couldn't eat!

Xia Jizong's family finished the sacrifice, but they didn't leave, did they want to wait for Xia Jizu to go down the mountain together, or did they want to see something?

Xia Yuanding thought to himself, their family didn't bring any decent sacrifices, in his opinion, it was simple, and he didn't think too much, this could become a joke.

He doesn't think so, it doesn't mean that the people here don't think so, you have to say a few words of disrespect to your ancestors, you have to be willing to accept it, maybe Xia Jizong wants to take pleasure in it.

"Observe the ceremony, place the sacrifices, and worship the ancestors!"

In the package carried up the mountain, there were only some utensils, and the sacrifices only carried some dried fruits and some omnivorous, which did look a little shabby.

Incense, kneeling, this is an indispensable step, and after getting up, Xia Jizong didn't speak, and the junior next to him began to provoke first.

"The ancestor has eaten the fish, can he eat this multigrain fruit?"

When these words came out, Xia Jizu couldn't help but be angry, but he couldn't immediately reprimand the junior, not only could he not, but his son Xia Shouli couldn't either, as long as he opened his mouth, he was accused of bullying the juniors, Xia Jizu was really uncomfortable at the moment!

Xia Yuanding wondered if it was time for him to start breaking the siege.
