Chapter 159: The Leng Family's Old House
Xiyuan Town, the middle and late section of Pear Blossom Street. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother Chu, this is the ancestral house of my Leng family. ”
Leng Yuening leaned into Li Ren's arms, leaned out and pointed to a courtyard on the north side of the road.
"It's pretty big!"
After Chu Bei glanced at the red wall, he took a step and continued to walk, and soon came to the front door.
On both sides of the main entrance are placed a rather imposing stone lion, and behind the stone lion stand two neatly dressed guards.
As far as the eye can see, the most conspicuous thing is the door plaque hanging in the middle, which is engraved with the four big characters of 'Leng's ancestral house'.
At the bottom of the door plaque, there is a square red calligraphy, and the calligraphy has a big "longevity" character that is extremely festive.
"Yue Ning, Old Man Leng lives here?"
After taking a look, Chu Bei looked at Leng Yuening and pointed to the inside of the main door.
"Hmm. ”
Leng Yuening nodded slightly, and then took Li Ren's big hand and looked at Chu Bei: "Brother Chu, let's go in, let's go see grandpa first." ”
After speaking, Leng Yuening took the lead in walking towards the main entrance, and her steps continued to speed up.
Obviously, she was very desperate to know why she had become a traitor to her ancestors in the mouth of the public if she didn't come for a few days.
"Stop! The birthday banquet is set for tomorrow, and no outsiders are allowed to enter today!"
Just as Leng Yuening walked up the steps, a white-clothed guard walked out from behind the stone lion, leaned sideways in front of Leng Yuening, and stopped him.
"Are you blind? Is she an outsider?"
Without waiting for Leng Yuening to speak, Li Ren had already stepped forward and looked coldly at the white-clothed guard.
"What's the matter? Could it be that she is still a family member?"
The white-clothed guard glanced at Leng Yuening, and his eyebrows inadvertently showed disdain.
Obviously, he recognized Leng Yuening, but he didn't recognize her existence.
"What do you mean by that, when will I not even be able to enter my ancestral house?"
Leng Yuening was in a hurry, took a deep breath, and her originally fair cheeks were already flushed.
"Hmph! From the moment you refused to fund the construction of the ancestral tomb, we already denied you!"
Another guard walked out from behind the stone lion, looking at Leng Yuening with a sneer.
"Build an ancestral grave?"
Li Ren muttered in his mouth, and then looked at Leng Yuening puzzled: "Yuening, when did this happen? Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"
"I don't know, it seems that you can only know everything when you see your grandfather. ”
Leng Yuening looked at Li Ren and shook her head, then clenched her fists, and her gaze for help fell on Chu Bei's body.
"I know how to do it. ”
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Chu Bei took a big step forward as the Li couple retreated.
"Do you kid want to do it? You'd better think about the consequences before you do it!"
In response to Shang Chubei's cold gaze, the two guards behind the stone lion also stepped forward.
Within a moment, the four guards were sideways in front of Chu Bei at the same time.
"Hey, what's the wind blowing today?
Just as Chu Bei was about to make a move, a joking man's voice floated from inside the main entrance.
Immediately afterwards, a young man in a gray robe appeared in Chu Bei's sight.
"Young Master Chuan!"
The four guards bowed their waists and shouted at the sight of the gray-robed young man, with respectful expressions and flattery in their eyes.
"Leng Chuan, did you order them to stop me?" Seeing the person coming, Leng Yuening scolded angrily.
"Cousin, this is your home! Cousin, how could I give such an order?"
The joking voice fell, Leng Chuan's gaze moved slightly, and fell on the four guards beside him, his face pretending to be gloomy: "Where are your eyes? Sister Yue Ning can't recognize it? You dare to stop her at the door.
"Young Master Chuan, it was our clumsy eyes that we couldn't recognize Miss Leng Yuening at the first time. The four guards cooperated very well and made a mistake towards Leng Yue.
"Get out of the way!"
Leng Yue snorted coldly, pushed away a white-clothed guard, and then walked towards the door.
"Cousin, that bad old man is locking himself in the house now, and no one wants to see him!"
As soon as Leng Yuening stepped into the door with her front feet, Leng Chuan's sarcastic words drifted from behind her to her ears.
"Leng Chuan, pay attention to your words! In terms of seniority, he is your grandfather!"
After Leng Yuening glared at Leng Chuan fiercely, her steps quickened and headed towards the southwest.
"Brother Chu, let's follow up too!"
Li Ren straightened his clothes, and when he walked past Leng Chuan's side, he deliberately hit it hard.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Chu Bei took a look.
The road crossed by three or five was full of red flags, and each flag had a big 'Shou' character on it.
At this moment, busy maids and guards are walking back and forth on the main road.
Looking at the way they looked, it was obvious that they were all preparing for tomorrow's birthday feast.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
"Brother Chu, grandpa, he lives in front. ”
Walking all the way along a small road, Leng Yuening led the three of Chu Bei to the southwest corner.
Compared to the pavilions and pavilions in the rest of the courtyard, the few houses standing side by side in the corners are extremely simple.
If Leng Yuening hadn't told him that these houses were where his grandfather and his immediate uncle lived, he would have thought that this was a place for poultry farming.
"Knock, knock!"
Under the gaze of the three of Chu Bei, Leng Yuening walked to a house and knocked on the door.
Seeing that there was no response in the house, Leng Yuening cleared her throat: "Grandpa, I'm Yuening." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Leng Yuening's words fell, there was a low and slow footstep sound from inside the door.
Click, the door opens.
This is an old man with a yellow face, a short stature, and a wrinkled face, who is Leng Yuening's grandfather, Leng Bo.
"Grandpa, we've brought someone to see you. ”
Li Ren took a step forward, supported the old man, and at the same time pointed to Chu Bei and Bing Tongtong and began to introduce.
"It turns out that you are Xiaobei, I heard Yuening talk about it. Hurry up, sit inside. ”
Leng Bo rolled his sleeves, revealing his skinny arms, looking very enthusiastic.
"Thank you, old man. ”
After Chu Bei thanked Leng Bo, he pulled Bing Tongtong into the house.
The furnishings in the room were very simple, except for a wooden bed, only a square wooden table and four benches.
"Brother Li, why don't you..."
Chu Bei looked at the environment in the room, his brows gradually furrowed, and he looked at Li Ren puzzled.
However, before he finished speaking, Li Ren seemed to guess what he meant, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Brother Chu, Yue Ning and I also want to take the old man to live in Anyi Lane! ”
"Even so, there are so many pavilions in this big courtyard, how can the old man live here?" Chu Bei looked puzzled.
"This is grandpa's insistence on living here, because the other pavilions were renovated by the second grandfather. ”
Hearing Leng Yuening's words, Chu Bei nodded thoughtfully, already having some understanding in his heart.
