Chapter 354: Shangguan's Family
The carriage stopped in front of a low-key but solemn mansion, with blue bricks and red tiles, and the wall was nearly five meters high, so big that the end of the wall could not be seen with the naked eye on the left and right.
In front of the vermilion gate, there are two majestic jade tripods, the height of the tripod is about ten meters, and the width of the belly of the tripod is about thirty meters.
The vermilion gate was open at the moment, and the front of the door was densely packed with people, all dressed in cyan clothes. Standing on the outermost side was an old man who was still as white as a young man, a burly man of nearly 1.9 meters, and an angular face that was still old and old.
There were many people not far away, who didn't dare to get close, and watched the sudden bustle of Shangguan's house from a distance.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the old man, who was already red-eyed, immediately greeted him, and his loud voice trembled: "Midnight, it's midnight, come down, come down and let grandpa take a look." ”
The carriage door opened, and Shangguan Hao came down first, then Shangguan Jie, and finally Midnight with a calm face.
No need for others to introduce him, no need to look like it, let alone use verification, blood traction, just one glance, Shangguan Yingxiong knew that this porcelain doll-like female doll was his granddaughter, the only comfort and gift his daughter left in this world for him, and the female doll that his daughter entrusted to him in his dream that ran to him.
The tall and straight back seemed to be bent all at once, the resolute edges and corners of his face were softened, and the thick white beard softened suddenly, and he walked quickly to midnight, Shangguan Qingxiong wanted to laugh and cry, and finally under the stunned gaze of everyone, he suddenly turned around and squatted in front of Midnight.
"Come, midnight. Grandpa carried you home. ”
The people around him all disappeared at this moment, and all that was in Midnight's eyes was the majestic and wide back. At this time, Midnight suddenly thought of a sentence - the back that never bends is folded for you.
Home, the word used to be far away from her, and the meaning of home is only literal.
Really never cared?
She wasn't born and raised, she wasn't a monkey jumping out of a rock, she was also a human being, and she had a childhood. When she sees other people's fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, how can she not have envy or even jealousy in her heart?
It's just that she, who has always known to hide herself and always knows what it means to be calm, buried this envy and jealousy in the deepest part of her heart, so deep that even she ignored it.
Seeing that Midnight was there, Shangguan Hao was frightened by her father's radical actions, but as a son, how could he not understand his father's inner turmoil at the moment, and even more understand that if his father couldn't carry Midnight today, his guilt for his sister might bury him.
He touched Midnight's arm and said, "Child, don't be afraid, go to Grandpa's back and let Grandpa carry you home." ”
It's home again.
Midnight turned his head to look at Shangguan Hao, Shangguan Hao nodded at her encouragingly, and Shangguan Jie also smiled at her with a look of relief and encouragement. The other young men who came running after the carriage stopped, all looked at her with unfamiliar faces and friendly smiles in addition to curiosity.
Midnight hooked his lips and smiled, he had never been relaxed and sincere, so sincere that his eyes were full of smiles.
Then he took two steps forward and lay on Shangguan Qingxiong's back, and his soft and greasy voice almost turned Shangguan Yingxiong into spring water: "Grandpa." ”
"Ah, good boy. Pay attention to it, grandpa is going to get up. The corners of Shangguan Yingxiong's mouth were cracked to the back of his ears, and he got up vigorously, taking powerful steps that did not show his old age, and walked towards the vermilion gate with his back in midnight step by step.
In front of the head of the family is carrying a strange beautiful girl, behind is the eldest master and the second master protecting the left and right like protectors, and behind them are the younger generation of the Shangguan family.
The girl on the back of the head of the family, like a treasure, was welcomed into the gate of the Shangguan family by the descendants of the Shangguan family with the highest courtesy.
The teams on both sides, as well as the people who came to see the excitement, were so shocked by this scene that they only knew that they followed Shangguan Yingxiong's figure throughout the whole process, until they finally disappeared at the gate of Shangguan's house.
So many people, no one noticed, there was a vicious gaze, a jealous to hateful gaze, the same mixed under these shocked gazes.

The Shangguan family is huge, very big.
As soon as you enter the gate, there is a huge wall shadow carved with various patterns that is 20 meters long and 3 meters high, and you can enter from the left side around the wall shadow, and a thick wall with the same height as the wall shadow was originally built from the middle of the wall shadow to separate the left and right two large courtyards.
After walking around the wall shadow from the left, there is a large jasper-colored open space in front of you, which is the size of a football field, and in front of the large open space is a nine-story hall with blue walls and blue roof, and the top of the hall is like a gem falling on it in the sun, shining with dazzling lights.
This is the nine-story tower, which is the place where the Shangguan family places the ancestral tablets, and it is also the place to test whether the descendants of the Shangguan family have spiritual roots, and it is also the gathering place for family events such as ancestor worship, so to speak, this nine-story tower is the iconic symbol of the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Yingxiong passed by here with midnight on his back, just to let the ancestors take a look at his granddaughter first, although he had already chosen a day for midnight to enter the family tree to worship his ancestors, and then he would enter the nine-story tower at midnight. But he just wanted his granddaughter to come home and let the ancestors see it immediately, it was he who couldn't stand the ancestors and lost his daughter, and now, he lost his daughter, but finally brought his granddaughter back.
Along the side of the wall is a two-meter-wide flower road, and a bamboo corridor on the side of the flower road is straight forward, and Shangguan Yingxiong walks on the corridor with midnight on his back.
When we reached the back of the main hall, there was another high thick wall that separated the left and right.
After passing the wall, this side looks like a place to live.
There is also the same gate as when I came in just now, but it is closed at the moment.
Shangguan Yingxiong carried Midnight to the gate on his back, and then walked inside.
In front of the same large open space, left and right two three-story halls, the center through the open space opposite the high wall as a block, the left side near the main hall of a corner door can enter.
After entering, there is a large garden, green mountains and clear water, and flowers are clustered.
Walk through the garden and enter from the corner gate on the left, which is where the descendants of the Shangguan family live, a huge garden, interspersed with various courtyards, the corridor is connected, and the sea of flowers and clear water is blocked.
The Shangguan family is clearly distinguished, this side is the left compound of the Shangguan family, which is the place where the descendants live, and the right side of the wall shadow from the main gate is the right compound of the Shangguan family, which is the place where the disciples of the side line and the inner courtyard live.
Walking around the corridor in the middle of the night, Shangguan Yingxiong's spirit and good mouth did not stop.
"This is the Wind Temple, where your uncle lives. That's Yunyuan, where your second uncle lives now. Look, there's the Thunder Courtyard, where your grandfather and your grandmother live
This is the rain courtyard, where your mother used to live. ”
