Within a few days, the Wu family was busy, the Wu family was newly decorated up and down, the red lanterns were pasted with the word Fu hung high, the stone steps and floor tiles were washed as if they were newly paved, the red satin curtains were hung all over the verandah, the road leading to the temple was paved with red dark carpet, the middle door of the temple was wide open, the incense was continuous, and the offering table was full of offerings.

The members of the Wu family from all sides of the house rushed over, and the eldest and respected third uncle of the Wu family sat on the side and talked with the old lady with a smile.

When Wu Yuan arrived, the Wu family looked at her indifferently, as if they were looking at a stranger.

Wu Yuan didn't care, and stood quietly in the corner, pinching the handkerchief tightly with both hands, and the joints of his fingers were white.

"Sister, are you okay?"

As soon as Wu Yijin came, she saw the eldest sister standing opposite the Wu family, and a group of people opposite her pointed at her, muttering and discussing in a low voice.

Wu Yuan is more like a spectator, as if the Wu family on the other side has nothing to do with her.

"Little sister, you're here." Wu Yuan looked at Yi Jin with a faint smile.

Wu Yijin took Wu Yuan's hand and comforted in a low voice: "Eldest sister, if you are not feeling well, you can go back early." ”

Wu Yuan looked at his innocent sister, smiled, go back? Where to go back? This is her home!

Wu Yuan wants to personally watch them set up a sect and watch them inherit the long house!

After a while, the patriarch of the third uncle, who was the master of ceremonies presiding over the ceremony, stood up, solemnly asked each room and branch to stand, only to hear the bell of the Wu family's drum tower being ringed, Yongan wearing the clothes of the sect, wearing a ceremonial crown, and walking step by step in the gaze of everyone.

Wu Erye was wearing a scarlet embroidered crane court dress, wearing a ruby corundum crown, a sable collar, and a gold-cut jade square plate tied around his waist, each jade plate was inlaid with gemstones, and he stood solemnly in the middle of the hall.

Wu Erye took the incense handed by the next person, solemnly kowtowed to the tablet, recited words in his mouth, and announced the ancestors of the Wu family to the ancestors, and then Wu Yongan came to the family temple under the guidance of the third uncle, and bowed to the incense, and the craftsmen finally carved Wu Yongan's name on the bronze ware of the temple, Zongjun - Wu Yongan.

In the end, Wu Erye led Wu Yongan out and announced the completion of the ceremony.

The drums were blown, the music sounded, and the Wu family saluted Wu Yongan one after another.

Since then, Wu Yongan has become the son of the Wu family.

Zongzi has the right to preside over sacrifices, take charge of the property of the clan, take charge of the marriage of the clan members, and report to the sect about the size of the clan, and the sect can also teach and punish the clan members.

In this way, Wu Yongan completely distanced himself from the children of the Wu family, and Wu Yuan and the others could no longer play with their brothers as they did in the past.

Wu Yuan stood in the crowd, looking at the group of people in the second room who received congratulations from the sect, his expression was gloomy.

Cui's smiled and talked to the ladies of the branches, and his eyes skimmed over Wu Yuan who was standing in the corner, and he couldn't help but smile proudly.

It was already afternoon after the ceremony, and the old lady invited the elders of the Wu family to Sanfutang to catch up, while the second master Wu was busy taking Wu Yongan to meet the relatives of the various branches of the Wu family.

For a while, the Wu family was lively, a table was set up in the courtyard, and a play was also sung on the stage, and the prosperity had nothing to do with him.

Wu Yuan sat alone on the side of the river, throwing the snacks in his hand into the lake, and the red carp were grabbing food.

"Cousin, why are you sitting here alone and not going to the middle courtyard to have a look?" As soon as Zhou Biao came back from Guangling Academy, he saw Wu Yuan sitting here lonely.

Wu Yuan turned around, saw that it was Zhou Biao, and gave a salute, "It's clean here, I've already left the middle courtyard, and I don't want to go back to see more." ”

Yesterday, the middle courtyard has been cleaned up, the second room family has moved in, after the establishment of the sect, Yong'an is no longer suitable to live in the west courtyard, the middle courtyard has always been the residence of the heirs of the Wu family, and now they have moved in the name of justice.

I heard that the second aunt didn't like the carpet in the main hall, and all of them had been replaced with peony patterns, and even the plaque of Hug Pu Zhai, which my father liked the most, was replaced and replaced with the "Qindian Hall" inscribed by the second uncle.

Zhou Biao saw that Wu Yuan was in a bad mood, looked at her quietly for a while, and was about to say something, when he saw Mama Cui looking for her.

"Young Master Zhou, you're finally back, the second lady is looking for you everywhere!"

Zhou Biao glanced at Wu Yuan and said softly: "My aunt is looking for me, so I won't disturb my cousin's leisure." ”

After Wu Yuan didn't reply with an "um", Zhou Biao followed Mama Cui to the middle courtyard.

Lilac leaned over and whispered, "Miss, there are a lot of people in the house today, no one will notice us, why don't we sneak out of the house to have a look?" ”

Wu Yuan looked up at the lively courtyard in the distance, people came and went, and even the people were doing things with their heads down and hurriedly shuttling through the crowd.

Wu Yuan thought to himself, he hadn't gone out to see for a long time, and he didn't know what was going on with Zhou's mother.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan nodded, and quietly took the cloves to the depths of the bamboo forest, leaving Chun Tao and Yuzhu to watch in Zhuxuan.

After walking for a long time, sure enough, there was a remote closed door on this side of the bamboo forest, Lilac tried to push it open gently, and the door was facing the alley, thinking that it was used by people in the past.

Wu Yuan put on a hat and walked out briskly with Lilac, and as soon as he walked to the street, he saw that the pedestrians on the street were gathered around the place where the notice was issued, and a yamen official struck a gong and shouted loudly: "Good news! Good news! It's on the list! The top three are on the list! ”

Wu Yuan was about to pass through the crowd when he suddenly saw a familiar name written on the red list.

"Chen Gongzi of our Yangzhou Babao Zhanghong Pharmacy has solved the yuan in high school in this autumn exam!"

"Is that the Chen Gongzi who ran with the general of the school field? Why do I always see him in the school yard? Can you still be civil? ”

"You don't know, I heard that Chen Gongzi also worshipped Mr. Tao Fu as a teacher, this Xie Yuan is not an easy matter! Who of us in Liangjiang doesn't know Mr. Tao Fu's talent! ”

Wu Yuan squeezed in in surprise and looked at the list carefully, and sure enough, it was Chen Yi's name.

Is Chen Yi really in the middle of the yuan?

I thought that he was lying to himself when he said that he was going to the capital that night, no wonder, after understanding the Yuan, didn't he go to Beijing to participate in the Beijing test?

"Miss, Young Master Chen has solved the yuan! He really has the ability, do you think he will win the championship? It would be better if I won the champion, and I also know the champion! Lilac said excitedly to Wu Yuan, dancing with her hands.

Wu Yuan smiled faintly, Chen Yizhong understood Yuan, of course he was happy for him, but this also meant that the only person who could help him investigate his father's salt case would also go to the capital.

Wu Yuan suddenly thought of the son who was talking to Chen Yi in the temple that day, who was he?

After coming out of the crowd, Wu Yuan took Lilac all the way to the sparsely populated and remote road, careful not to let people notice, and bought some pastries wrapped in oiled paper, pretending to visit relatives, and went to the Terracotta Hutong.
