Chapter 17 (1st Update)
The Hua family's Siguo Hall, located in the outer hall of the ancestral ancestral hall of the Hua family, has rarely been able to come in handy for nearly a thousand years, and most of the time, in fact, it is nothing.
Before Hua Yan grew to the age of ten, no one in the Hua family's Siguotang had been punished for a hundred years, and when she was ten years old, she was anxious about Hua Zhuo, and Hua Zhuo was angry, and took out the identity of the eldest brother and imprisoned Hua Yan in Siguotang.
Unexpectedly, this level was extremely useful to her, and since then, Hua Zhuo has found a way to deal with Hua Yan.
As long as Hua Yan made him angry, he punished her to think about it.
This trick has not been tried and tested.
Hua Yantian is not afraid of the ground, but she is afraid of cockroaches, and a small cockroach in the hall will scream in fear.
For the past six years, Hua Yan has been imprisoned by Hua Zhuo once a year.
In the past, he was locked up for a day or two at most, but now he is locked up for three days, which shows that he is really angry.
Hua Yan pushed open the wooden door, entered the Siguo Hall, passed through the bluestone brick ground in the grass and trees, stepped on the moss-covered steps, and entered the hall.
The hall was empty and darkly lit, with a statue of the Buddha carved on the wall facing the door, scriptures carved on the other three walls, and an ancient table of eight immortals resting on it with an incense burner and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and on the table were several scriptures written when she was last imprisoned.
Because it is often cleaned, it is very clean, but because there is a statue of the Buddha, it cannot be killed here, therefore, there are many cockroaches, and no one persecutes.
Hua Yan was most afraid of cockroaches, and when she was locked in for the first time, she screamed for a day.
Hua Zhuo found a way to cure her back then.
Later, Guan Si was the thing she was most afraid of.
It's just that Hua Zhuo didn't know that in the third year, Hua Yan was not afraid of cockroaches, but she didn't want Hua Zhuo to know that she was not afraid, otherwise her brother would be angry and would have to find a way to treat her again, so she hid it until today.
Now that she entered the Siguo Hall, the cockroaches crawled under her feet, one after another, she didn't pay attention to them, and walked directly into the inner door.
There is a lock inside, and it is a place to worship the ancestors of the flower family.
Hua Yan opened the bronze door and walked in.
In the huge ancestral hall, there are hundreds of people who enshrine the tablets of each generation of the Hua family's descendants and grandchildren who inherit and protect the Hua family. It is they who have passed down from generation to generation and guarded from generation to generation, making the Hua family peaceful for thousands of years.
Hua Yan picked up the incense on the incense table, and each tablet wore three incense sticks, and worshiped them one by one.
Whenever she did, she was rarely religious.
When she worshipped a few people, An Seventeen's voice came from outside, "Young master, Hua Li and I are here to bring you food." ”
Hua Yan then remembered that she hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and she originally said that she would accompany her grandmother to eat with Yun Chi, but she caught up with her brother and came back early in the morning, she didn't even finish eating, she nodded and walked out of the ancestral hall.
An Seventeen and Hua Li carried a few boxes of meals and were placing them on the table for her, seeing her coming out of it, An Seventeen looked at her, "After the young master came, he went to incense the ancestors first?" ”
Hua Yan nodded.
An Qiqi smiled and said, "Do you want to know if the young master wants to know how the prince embarrassed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after you came to Siguotang?" ”
Hua Yan glanced at him, "It's nothing more than embarrassing him about my marriage, I'm afraid I have made a lot of requests." ”
An Seventeen stroked his palm, "The young master really guessed right." When the words fell, he gestured, "Such a thick stack of rice paper, the prince took it out, handed it to His Royal Highness the Prince, saying that it was the wedding agenda and requirements, and there was no need to discuss, just do what he said, it's really ruthless." ”
Hua Yan was helpless, "My brother has poured all his anger on him, and it is difficult for him to suffer for me." ”
An Qiqi sighed when he heard this, "The young master is distressed? ”
Hua Yan was silent.
Hua Li came closer and looked at Hua Yan, "Seventeenth sister, I look at you like this, don't you like to dislike His Royal Highness the Prince?" The boy from earlier, do you like him or not? ”
Seeing that he looked like an eighth woman, Hua Yan stretched out her hand and patted him on the head vigorously, and asked instead of answering, "With so many meals, do you two want to stay and eat with me?" ”
An Qiqi nodded, "yes, we didn't have breakfast either." ”
Hua Li pouted, "Seventeenth sister Gu left and right about him." ”
Hua Yan smiled angrily, "Like it or not, it's too simple, how can you easily say like or dislike to make a decision?" There are many things in this world, which are easy to say, but in fact they are very complicated, and there are many times when they are not clear. ”
Hua Li didn't understand, looked at Hua Yan, and looked puzzled, "Sister Seventeen, you can be clear." ”
Hua Yan shook her head, "I don't understand." ”
An Qiqi pinched Hua Li's face and said, "You little brat, what are you doing asking these for?" Don't ask the young master, experience it yourself when you grow up. ”
Hua Li flattened his mouth and said unconvinced, "Brother Seventeen, you are only a few years older than me, and you treat yourself like an adult." ”
An Qiqi laughed angrily, "I accompanied the young master through the Gu King's Palace, just with this, you have to be convinced." ”
Hua Li was really silent, he was indeed convinced, there were not many people who were taken to the Gu King's Palace by Hua Yan that day. Later, many people deeply regretted that they could not see the living dead and dark people living under the palace of the Gu King in Southern Xinjiang.
The two accompanied Hua Yan to have breakfast, and An Seventeen told Hua Yan that after she came to think about it, Hua Zhuo and Yun Chi told Hua Yan to listen.
After hearing this, Hua Yan said helplessly, "Since my brother and great-grandmother have said so, what else can I do?" The words fell, and he glanced at the Buddha hall, "I am an unworthy descendant of the Hua family, and I am sorry for the ancestors." ”
An Qiqi also sighed and whispered, "Young master, I heard that our Hua family also had a queen hundreds of years ago, and that Queen Shujing ......"
Huayan's face turned pale.
An Seventeen said to herself, "That Empress Shujing and Emperor Huaiyu, who was still the prince, met in Weimo, and later learned that he was the prince when it was too late, and at that time she was deeply rooted, and in desperation, she broke away from the family, was removed from the family tree, settled in Nanyang Mansion, where the Hua family was kind to her, and became the young lady of Nanyang Mansion and married into the East Palace. However, it was the end of the troubled times, the disadvantages of the previous dynasty for a hundred years had already been overwhelmed with the huge national politics, even if Emperor Huaiyu was talented, but because of the strange poison in his body since he was a child, even if he was detoxified later, but the body was dragged to the point that he was weak and overwhelmed, and wanted to save the country that was almost collapsed in the previous dynasty. Drink poisoned wine in the palace and accompany him in Jiuquan ......"
When he said this, he suddenly felt that his surroundings were very quiet, and he felt that something was wrong, so he turned his head to look at Hua Yan, and when he saw her pale face, his heart tightened, "Young master, what's wrong with you?" ”
Hua Yan froze, and Mu Sheng said, "It's nothing, I'm listening to you." ”
An Qiqi looked at her, "Did you see cockroaches again?" ”
Hua Yan let out an "um".
An Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, "Why are you afraid of cockroaches?" Such a little thing, with your martial arts, will turn to ashes in one palm, and you can't be afraid. ”
Hua Yan didn't speak.
An Qiqi saw that there seemed to be a slight sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose, and the bones of her hands and fingertips on the table seemed to be white, he sighed, "Fortunately, the prince still feels sorry for the young master, and only said that he would not let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come down to accompany him, but he didn't say that he would not let his subordinates come down, so I will accompany you here." ”
Hua Li blinked to the side and said, "Sister Seventeen, don't be afraid, I will stay with you." ”
Hua Yan smiled, and her voice was very soft, "Well, with you with me, I'm not afraid." ”
Hua Li listened interestingly, and asked An Seventeen, "Brother Seventeen, where did you talk about it just now?" And then? Empress Shujing obviously loves Emperor Huaiyu deeply, why did she let our Hua family open the city and let the grandfather of Nanchu clear the customs? ”
An Seventeen said with admiration, "Queen Shujing is for our Hua family, the world has been powerless back then, the grandfather of Nanchu has passed Lin'an, if our Hua family does not open the city gate, then, the grandfather of Nanchu will send troops to attack the Hua family, when the city gate was opened, all of us in the Hua family avoided the catastrophe of changing the dynasty in the troubled times." Otherwise, once they are matched, it is inevitable that there will be casualties at least and the whole family will be wiped out at worst. It's just a pity that Empress Shujing and Emperor Huaiyu were only in their teens at that time. ”
Hua Li also sighed twice and asked, "Does Empress Shujing also like Grandpa?" I heard Ye Shi say that Grandpa Tai did not set up a queen for her life, and he did not even leave an heir. ”
An Qiqi shook his head, "I don't know, the wild history is passed down like this, but I think that Empress Shujing's favorite should be Emperor Huaiyu, otherwise she wouldn't have married him for him to leave the family, and finally accompanied him to Jiuquan." If she liked Emperor Taizu, she should have married him in the first place, and she would not have ended up following Emperor Huaiyu to death. ”
"Yes!" Hua Li muttered, "It turns out that our Hua family had a person who married into the royal family hundreds of years ago." When the words fell, he comforted Hua Yan and said, "Seventeenth sister, since there are ancestors in front of you, you are not a special case, our Hua family has continued well after hundreds of years, so don't worry, just listen to the will of God." ”
