There is a stone step in front of the gate of the villa, and Bao slightly counted it, because he was dazzled by the snow when he was in the sky, and he didn't count how many steps there were, in short, it was very long. On the left and right of the stone steps stood a stone lion more than one person high, glaring at the visitor with a fierce and vicious expression.

Tang Sancai quietly pulled off Ah Bao's clothes, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Have you seen the jewels in the mouths of those two stone lions?" ”

Ah Bao nodded, and was about to ask Tang Sancai what his intentions were, but he suddenly realized that those two orbs seemed to be a little different from those in the mouth of ordinary stone lions. When I looked closer, I couldn't help but be shocked that they were two night pearls in excellent condition, and each one was almost the size of her head.

"The ancestors of the Shen family in the capital are darts and traders, and the gold and silver accumulated over generations are piled up like a hill, and the family is rich and rich. A few years ago, I went to Mingzhou, and the Shen family's Sun and Moon Tonghui Fort was certainly luxurious, but now I look at it, this Yun clan is not far behind, such two huge night pearls, not to mention how rare they are, they are just placed outside the gate to illuminate them casually, and they are not afraid of being stolen. Tang Sancai said.

Ah Bao didn't think so, such a big bead was firmly embedded in the mouth of the statue, not to mention the weight geometry, but the forehead could not be removed. Besides, no matter how big it is, it's just a pearl of the night, it's not a treasure in the world, so there's no need to take the risk of stealing at the door of this wealthy family.

A simple pavilion was set up next to the stone lion, a long table was placed in the center of the pavilion, and a long roll of rosters was placed on it, a disciple sat in front of the desk, and the person who came reported his name and sect, which was recorded by him, and then led up the stone steps by other disciples around him, and after entering the gate, he was led to the arranged guest room by other people dressed as small servants.

However, although this Burial Sword Villa is magnificent, the guest rooms are always unable to accommodate all the people who participate in the conference, so the Yun family arranged for all the children of various sects and families invited by him to personally send invitations to live in the guest rooms of the villa, and the rest of the uninvited and self-registered participants were led to the large and small inns in Yunzhou City under the mountain to spend the night.

Looking at the long queue outside the gate, Ah Bao couldn't help but sigh, that is, there are many children in the Yun family, and the errand boys and the maids and servants who serve can't be counted, otherwise if they are changed to another family, so many people suddenly come, I am afraid that there will be not enough people to connect Ying.

Just as she was thinking, someone coughed softly behind her, reminding her not to look around. Only then did she come back to her senses, retract her wandering gaze, and saw a middle-aged man in a fox fur cloak and a lofty instrument walking down the steps briskly surrounded by a group of Yun disciples, walking towards Shangyao and his party.

The person who came was the current head of the Yun family, Yun Zheng.

"Two real people are here, and the humble house is full of brilliance." Before the person was close, the sound was already like thunder, and the eardrum was buzzing.

Compared with the leader of the immortal cultivation family, Yun Zheng is more like a veteran who has been walking in the officialdom for many years. From this polite and detached greeting, it can be seen that he must be thoughtful in his daily life, and he can't find any fault, and he can't talk about sincerity.

"Sect Master Yun." The Qingzhen people returned the salute and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, and the demeanor of the Yun Sect Master is still the same, and it has not diminished from the past." ”

Yun Zheng smiled: "How can I wait for ordinary people to be as beautiful as the immortal family?" It's just that the years are urging people to get old, and now the affairs in the village are all handled by the little girl and the son-in-law, and I just sit back and enjoy the blessings. ”

Speaking of which, there is one thing that has to be mentioned.

Although the Yun family has always been firmly in the position of the head of the four great families for hundreds of years, and the family has produced many talents from generation to generation, Yun Jin, the only son of the head of the family, Yun Zheng, has mediocre qualifications and no talent. It is said that Yun Zheng took Yun Jin to the Tianxuan Sect to apprentice, and was even politely refused.

Since then, Yun Zheng has been hoping to have another son, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, and after the couple gave birth to a daughter Yun Luo, Mrs. Yun fell seriously ill and could not continue to give birth due to physical reasons after recovery. Yun Zheng later took another concubine, and a year later got another daughter, named Yunyan.

In order to temporarily stabilize his position, Yun Zheng found his young brother, Shen Lan, who was the new head of the Shen family at that time, and the two engaged Shen Junwu, the second son of the Shen family, who was not yet seven years old at the time, to the newborn Yun Yan. At that time, Shen Junwu had just entered the Tianxuan sect to practice, so he didn't know it when the marriage contract was made, and the two parents made up their minds when the matchmaker and marriage books were readily available, and it was announced to the world at that time, so that everyone in the rivers and lakes knew about it.

It is said that Shen Junwu insisted on opposing it after learning about it at that time, and asked his father to come to the Burial Sword Villa to withdraw from the marriage, but was not only rejected but also reprimanded. Since then, Shen Junwu has never returned to the Shen family.

However, the world is impermanent, at the sword trial meeting five years ago, Shen Junwu turned his back on his master and was spit on by the world, and he has not been heard from since. Yun Zheng angrily tore up the marriage book and divorced the Shen family, and this marriage that was praised by the world as a talented and beautiful woman was stopped, and no one dared to mention it again.

The next year, Yun Jin, the only son of the Yun family, died of a sudden illness, and it is said that it was caused by excessive practice on weekdays, and his mother also died of excessive sadness and depression.

A year later, Yun Zheng continued to string, and the new lady became pregnant soon after passing the door, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses a few months ago. After many convictions and tribulations, he finally got another son, Yun Zheng was overjoyed, and set up a big feast in the world when his son was full moon, three days and three nights, and the funeral sword villa sang and danced.

Not long ago, the eldest daughter Yun Luo got married, and after marriage, she took over the affairs of the funeral sword villa, and took care of the Yun family with her husband.

After everything calmed down, the marriage of the second daughter Yunyan was put on the agenda. After the family affair with the Shen family collapsed, Yun Zheng was still troubled by this. In fact, he is still very satisfied with the personality of Xiao Se, the second son of the Xiao family, but because of the marriage contract between the Xiao and Tang families, which is still unresolved, it is not good to mention it to the Xiao family rashly.

It happened that Yun Yan's family letter mentioned that Chu Zhaoran, the first apprentice of the Shangyao, although he was not from a famous family, but he was also a young talent, and now his fame in the rivers and lakes is not worse than that of Shen Junwu back then, so he is quite satisfied, I wanted to take the opportunity of this sword trial conference to get acquainted, but I didn't want to have that incident half a month ago, it was really a trick.

Yun Zheng's gaze quickly looked back and forth among the others, although he didn't say anything, everyone could see that he was quietly looking for Chu Zhaoran's figure. In order to find it, the situation on his face changed, and he immediately took away his solemn expression, replaced it with a polite smile, and said: "Shangyao is really talented, and his disciples are all outstanding and extraordinary. The little girl has studied in your school for many years and has been deeply cared for, so I thank you here. ”

After that, bow to the innocent people.

Fu Qingzhen also returned the salute and said, "Sect Master Yun is serious. ”

After a long and boring greeting, Yun Zheng waved behind him, and several disciples stepped forward quickly, leading Shangyao and his party towards the villa according to his instructions.

There are many disciples of the Yun family, the disciples of the family are unified with dark gray robes, embroidered with silver threads and decorated with auspicious cloud patterns, the clothing of the disciples with foreign surnames is lighter, and the auspicious cloud patterns are embroidered with ordinary white four threads, and those who are attached to the Yun family are not uniformly dressed, and only crowned with cloud hairpins to show their identity.

Several disciples who came to guide the way on the order of Yun Zheng were from the Yun family, and they all wore famous swords, and their weapons were extraordinary, and they should have a certain status in the family, and their guidance could probably be regarded as the highest courtesy given to the guests.

In contrast, many of the Jianghu monks who came to participate in the conference outside the door were despised and neglected because they were not famous or had no backers such as sects and families behind them. The so-called "three, six, nine, etc.", "watching people put down dishes", the general trend of the world, no one can avoid vulgarity.
