Shallow cloud dwelling.

After the Xinning Marquis Mansion and his party walked into the gate, Ji Li and other guards immediately took out various instruments and quickly inspected all parts of the mansion.

Mrs. Xinninghou sat in the main hall and waited, and after a while, Ji Li came back to report: "Madam, I haven't found anything unusual here, but it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, and it will take a lot of effort to clean it up." ”

Old Fulin looked at the dusty, old and dilapidated furniture and furnishings around him, and frowned: "Madam, they arranged for us to live in such a house, obviously with the intention of leaving trouble. ”

Mrs. Xinninghou waved her hand and said, "When I come back this time, the most important thing is that Huo'er enters the ancestral shrine to light the soul lamp, and the rest doesn't have to be extraneous." They're ...... It's just a small trick that can't be put on the table, it's nothing, as long as the foundation of the Hou Mansion is kept, there will be a chance to return it in the future. ”

When Old Fulin and Ji Li heard Mrs. Xinninghou say this, the anger in their hearts suddenly calmed down a lot, and they went down separately to arrange and clean up, and soon their group settled down in this shallow cloud house.

After entering the Qianyun Residence, Guo Xiaoshi has been following his mother-in-law's side, quietly watching and listening to her arrangement, through the previous events, he has intuitively understood the tension between the Xinning Hou Mansion and the Xinyun Ji family, and in such a situation, the only thing he can do is to successfully light the soul lamp in the ancestral hall, and then go to the clan ruling court to record.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next day, more than a dozen luxury cars drove to the front of Qianyunju one after another.

From these cars, twenty or thirty people walked down, although the costumes were different, but all of them were all brocade clothes, most of them were young people, and only six were middle-aged.

These six middle-aged men were obviously the leaders of the group, and they took the lead in pushing open the gate of Qianyunju, and regardless of the obstruction of the two guards, they directly broke inside.

As he walked, the man who walked in the middle said, "I'm Ji Slow Lu, the fifth brother of Ji Slow City, quickly call my younger brother and sister to come out to see me." ”

When the two guards heard this, they immediately looked at each other, and then one of them hurried into the mansion and reported it.

After a while, Mrs. Xinninghou led Guo Xiaoshi and Ji Mucheng to the main hall and met these people.

"Fifth brother, sixth brother, eighth brother, tenth brother, sixteenth brother, seventeenth brother."

Mrs. Xinninghou glanced at the six middle-aged people who were sitting on the chairs and didn't get up, greeted them lightly, and then sat down on the main seat, and said, "We only arrived in Xinyun yesterday, and we originally thought that we would go to Xinwangfu today to meet Weng's mother and the elders, but I didn't expect that before the trip could be made, the uncles came to the door. ”

That Ji Slowlu raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Xinninghou and the others, and he was not polite, and said directly: "Brother and sister, I won't say much about those polite nonsense, I came here today to ask you, how did you think about what I told you last time?" ”

Mrs. Xinninghou smiled on her face and became indifferent, she lightly printed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and asked disapprehantly, "I don't know what the fifth brother said?" ”

Ji Lulu snorted coldly and said, "My brother and sister, a female streamer, are really too tired to take care of the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and they even forget such an important matter. After a slight pause, he raised his voice a little and said, "The last time I told you, I chose a child of the Ji family from our Xinwang Mansion to inherit the title, I don't know how you think about it?" ”

"Succession?" Mrs. Xinning Marquis pretended to be surprised and said, "Why did our Hou Mansion choose someone to inherit the lord?" Fifth brother, what are you talking about? ”

Ji said slowly: "Brother and sister, what do you mean by holding on?" Now no one knows that my fifteenth brother has lost his trace in the extraterritorial battlefield, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and Mu Xuan died early...... Hey, after so many years, if there is no one to inherit the title, I am afraid that the clan tribunal will take back the brand of Xinning Marquis. Instead of letting outsiders look at the jokes and be proud, it is better to happily choose a child from the Xinwang Mansion to succeed, after all, our Xinyun Ji clan is of the same vein, so as to keep the foundation of my fifteenth brother who worked hard. ”

Mrs. Xinning Hou shook her head and said calmly: "Although the Hou Ye is missing, but the soul lamp in the ancestral shrine has not been extinguished, even the clan ruling court cannot take away our Hou Ye's title. After a slight pause, Mrs. Xinning Marquis showed a smile again, and said: "Moreover, even if the Marquis dies, the title of Marquis Xinning will be inherited by the Marquis's own blood, and there is no need to inherit the title from the palace." ”

"Biological blood?"

The thin middle-aged man beside Ji Slow Lu snorted coldly: "Mu Xuan has passed away, what biological blood does my fifteenth brother have?" It's a pity that Mu Cheng is a daughter, otherwise she would be the right person to inherit the title. ”

Mrs. Xinning Hou pointed to Guo Xiaoshi, who had been standing beside her, and said, "This is the child born to a local indigenous woman named Ji Muhuo when Hou Ye was quelling the rebellion in the North Sanscale Region. When he joined the army, he checked the bloodline of the Hou Ye in the registration test of the military department, and all the uncles of the registration test of the military department should know that there is no possibility of error. After a slight pause, Mrs. Xinninghou said to Guo Xiaoshi again: "Huo'er, these are your uncles, hurry up and salute!" ”

Guo Xiaoshi has long had a general understanding of the composition of the members of the Ji family, and these people in front of him are the fifth brother Ji Slow Lu of Ji Slow City, the sixth brother Ji Slow Sen, the eighth brother Ji Slow Mountain, the tenth brother Ji Slow Yuan, the sixteenth brother Ji Slow Jing and the seventeenth brother Ji Slow Tai.

These people, like Ji Slowcheng, are the concubines of King Xinwang Ji Donglin, and they do not have the right to inherit the throne of King Xin.

It is precisely because of this that they will set their sights on the title of Marquis of Xinning after Ji Slow City disappeared.

Guo Xiaoshi followed Xin Wei to learn etiquette for half a year, although there were a lot of messy things, but after all, it took effort, he came out to meet these "cheap uncles" with a courtesy, and his behavior was clear-eyed, just like a habit developed over the years.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him, constantly sweeping from top to bottom, from left to right, and the meaning of exploration was not concealed at all.

After Guo Xiaoshi saw the salute, he didn't say anything, and silently walked back to Mrs. Xinninghou and stood up.

After Ji Wanlu looked at Guo Xiaoshi, he sneered and said, "Brother and sister, what if this child is really the blood of the fifteenth brother?" He has been living abroad for many years, I heard that his cultivation is only at the level of a sixth-level soldier, and he has not awakened any powerful bloodline talent at the age of thirteen, and he has already missed the best opportunity. ”

After a slight pause, Ji Slow Lu said again: "Brother and sister, now that the life and death of the fifteenth brother are unknown, it is rare to find one of his bones and blood, it is better to let him live and raise in the mansion, as for the matter of Chengjue, you still choose one person from the Xinwang Mansion to succeed!" ”

As he spoke, Ji Slowlu pointed to a handsome young man behind him and said, "Mu Bai is my son, he is talented, he has awakened the bloodline talent of the 'Thunder Lion' at the age of three, and now he has been promoted to the extraordinary. Brother and sister, if you are interested, I can pass Mu Bai to you. ”

The young man named Ji Mubai, with a look of arrogance on his face, heard Ji Wanlu's words, and gave a salute to Mrs. Xinninghou with some reluctance.

Mrs. Xinninghou smiled slightly and refused: "Such a good child, let's stay and serve by the fifth brother's side!" ”

Ji Chulu frowned, pointed to the young people behind him, and said, "If the younger brothers and sisters don't care about Mu Bai, there are still many outstanding children among our brothers, and they are all brought today, and the younger brothers and sisters can choose from them." ”

Mrs. Xinning Hou shook her head and said unceremoniously: "Fifth brother doesn't need to say it, Huo'er is now the only bloodline of the Hou Ye, and naturally the only heir of the Xinning Hou Mansion, I appreciate the kindness of your uncles." ”

Ji Slow Lu's face sank suddenly: "My brother and sister are so bent on going their own way, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for you Xinning Hou Mansion!" ”

At this time, Ji Wansen, who was thin next to him, suddenly pointed at Guo Xiaoshi, and interjected in a cold voice: "This child is already the last blood of the fifteenth brother, if he also dies young like Mu Xuan, the fifteenth brother will not even have this last bit of blood." ”

This is like a threat.

Mrs. Xinninghou's face changed suddenly, and her eyes shot towards Ji Wansen like a sharp sword unsheathed.

There was a sneer on the corner of Ji Wansen's mouth, and he looked back at Mrs. Xinninghou without fear.

After a while, Mrs. Xinning held back the anger in her chest and said, "I have my own arrangements for the affairs of our Xinning Marquis Mansion, so you don't have to worry about it." If nothing else, please go back! ”

After speaking, she didn't care about the reaction of Ji Chulu and the others, beckoned to Guo Xiaoshi and Ji Mucheng, and led the two of them inside.

Ji Slowlu and the rest of the brothers glanced at each other, and finally said "go", and then quickly took people out of Qianyunju and left in a car.

A moment later, these brothers from Ji Slow City all gathered in Ji Slow Lu's mansion.
