While this person was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, He Lingchuan went to be his big shopkeeper, in addition to practicing hard, he went out hunting with his personal guards and rock wolves twice in three days.

It has only been three months since Emperor Liupulp has been in the world, and there are still newborn monsters in Xiazhou, so He Lingchuan took his novices to do his old job in the dream of Panlong.

Shan Youjun and Jiao Tai found a few heroes for him, and they just gathered a guard of twenty people. The best way to test the fineness is, of course, to put it into practice immediately.

In five days, they killed seven youkai and the guard was reduced to eighteen.

One injured his leg, and the other died.

He Lingchuan was compensated, and then sighed. These are all powerful thugs guaranteed by Shan Youjun patting his chest, and his quality is much higher than that of the Xiazhou soldiers. Judging from the actual combat in the past few days, compared to He Lingchuan's patrol team in the Panlong Dream Realm, they are still a lot worse.

It seems that there is still a long way to go.

On the contrary, Li Qingge heard that he was selecting personal guards, so he recommended him a disciple of Songyang Mansion, whose own strength was not low, and he was also good at building.

He Lingchuan was in need of such an all-rounder, so he smiled, and when he looked back, there were military doctors (monkeys) and logistics soldiers in this team, and the configuration was quite extravagant.

It would be nice to have another flying scout.

On this day, after getting rid of a nest of bat demons that sucked the blood of young children, He Lingchuan led the team back to Dunyu, and suddenly felt a slight chill on his face.

It's raining?

He looked up in amazement, only to see tiny snowflakes mixed with the slightest hint of rain, drifting down from the sky, wetting everyone's clothes and hair, and wetting the horses' manes.

They happened to pass by the clear lake, but they saw that the ice on the shore had melted, and the floating algae had burst out with green shoots. Schools of fish came up against crushed ice, and the surface of the water was covered with mouths that opened and closed.

He Lingchuan suddenly realized that spring had really arrived.

The oncoming wind recedes a little chill and is replaced by a little moisture, which is completely different from the slaughter of winter.

Back at He Mansion, He Lingchuan heard He Yue's voice before he entered the gate of the inner courtyard.

A family of three plus him, all together.

He Yue, who is usually too busy to see anyone, is rarely at home today. He Lingchuan found that this kid seemed to have grown taller again, but he lost a lot of weight, probably because the state government worked too hard.

"Daddy, you're treating child labor." He was upset with his second child.

He Chunhua snorted, but he didn't smile.

He Lingchuan sat down with a golden knife, and Mrs. Ying buried him: "I don't know how to change clothes, the wind and dust have been brought in!" "He only changed his boots, and there were mud spots on the corners of his clothes.

He Chunhua asked him, "What kind of demon is there besides today?" ”

Of course he knows what the eldest son is doing these days. The township officials also came to report, saying that the eldest prince He had eliminated the harm for the locality, and the villagers were very grateful.

Going out on a safari can also get a good reputation for killing demons and demons for the people, which is very cost-effective.

"A litter of big-eared bat demons that eat the blood of young children." He Lingchuan smiled, "There are not many of them, only about thirty heads, Shan Youjun took them home and prepared to roast them." ”

Mrs. Ying frowned: "Can that thing be eaten?" ”

How can't you grill a grilled chicken flavor. He Lingchuan smiled: "What day is it today, the whole family is here?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he found that something was wrong, because He Yue behind his father desperately glanced at him, as if his eyelids were cramping, and Mrs. Ying was stunned.

As for He Chunhua, it was directly cloudy and overcast, sinking as if it was about to drip water.

"Okay, what an unfilial descendant, do you dare to forget what day it is?"

Usually, He Chunhua didn't like this eldest son anymore, and he didn't scold him for being "unfilial". He Lingchuan secretly said bitterly, what kind of mistake did he make?

He Yue stood behind his father's side, and gave him a hint to make a gesture of burning incense and bowing at least three times.

"How can it?" He Lingchuan smiled dryly, "Of course I remember that today I was going to pay tribute to ......"

He Yue shook his head frantically.

Not respectful? That is the "worship ......"

He Yue nodded, pointing his fingers straight to the sky.

“…… Sky? ”

He Yuelian rolled his eyes with a look of "you're finished".

He Chunhua suddenly turned his head, just in time to meet his expression, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Both brat have grown up and dare to cheat in front of him?

Taking advantage of his time to turn around, He Lingchuan's brain teaser was frantically recalling what was so special today.

By the way, He Chunhua just scolded him for being "unfilial descendants", and this scolding method is very special.

In addition, today is the "spring equinox" solar term, and the plan of the year lies in spring, the story of spring...... What the hell happened in the spring!

He searched frantically in the sea of consciousness of the original body.

Maybe it's because he has been too diligent in dreaming of Panlong City recently, and his divine sense is gradually becoming stronger, and he was really turned out of the answer in his vast memory!

Mrs. Ying coughed lightly and wanted to relieve her eldest son. However, He Lingchuan had already preemptively said: "Today is the family sacrifice day, Dad, I don't dare to forget!" ”

He Chunhua turned his head and snorted coldly: "It's hanging all day long!" ”

It can be seen that He Lingchuan answered correctly.

This is the most important day of the year for the He family, and the original body never dares to slack off.

He Yue and Mrs. Ying both secretly let out a sigh.

No wonder before going out to get rid of the demon this morning, Dad told him that he must come back before evening. At that time, He Lingchuan didn't think much about it, and agreed.

Every family has a sacrifice day, but the He family's family sacrifice is a thorn in He Chunhua's heart, and he never allows mistakes to be made.

So in the He family, this matter never needs to be notified in advance, and everyone keeps it in mind.

He Chunhua glared at him: "What are you still doing, go take a shower and change clothes, the time is coming!" ”

"Yes!" He Lingchuan hurriedly responded, and he seemed to be stunned.

As soon as he returned to his yard, the men came in with a large wooden barrel and filled it with water.

The so-called "fragrant soup", of course, is different from the usual casual washing, and it is necessary to put in baizhi, peach skin, green wood incense and other incense, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits, dispelling filth, and refreshing the body.

He Lingchuan cleaned himself up, and it was almost dark. He changed into a white coat and white hat, removed all the ornaments, and then cleaned his teeth with willow salt and rinsed his mouth with bitter tea, and then was led to the ancestral hall by the servants.

The renovation of the He Mansion has been going on, and the ancestral hall was the first to be built. Its shape is simple, with black tiles and gray walls, and it will also be very low-key in the ambush of the building complex in the future.

Under the eaves of the ancestral hall, the newly replaced white lanterns swayed in the increasingly heavy rain and snow, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, reflecting the changing faces of people.

All the members of the He Mansion arrived, and the housekeeper Lao Mo commanded his subordinates to carry the sacrifices one by one to the tribute table.

The three animals placed in the front row, all pigs, all cows, and all sheep, are roasted and finalized;

Then there are five fruits, which are made from local materials and choose five kinds of common local fruits.

There are also 64 large and small bowls, which hold a variety of dishes.

According to the regulations of the Kite Kingdom, only the heavenly family sacrifices or public large-scale sacrifices use pigs, cows, sheep and other big three animals, from officials to commoners, at most pigs, chickens, fish and other small three animals.

The sacrifices of the He family are not in line with the ceremony, but He Chunhua obviously doesn't take it seriously. He Lingchuan remembered that since his father became the Taishou of Qiansong County, the family sacrifice seemed to be like this.

In the past, it was because the mountain was high and the emperor was far away; Now that they have moved to Xiazhou, why are they still taboo, he thinks He Chunhua has his own considerations in his heart.

Besides, the He family has always worshipped behind closed doors, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at this moment.

After all these were neatly arranged, the housekeeper Lao Mo lit a white candle on the eucalyptus, and the ancestral hall fell silent.

This is half an hour.

He Chunhua and his wife are in front, and He Lingchuan brothers are behind, all of them are looking at their noses and noses, and they are still standing still.

The rain outside the window seems to be more urgent.

The candles in front of the eucalyptus table were never extinguished by the night wind, and they also illuminated the dense tablets in the shrine.

He Lingchuan knew that there were one hundred and twenty-six tablets with the date of death written on them, which were on the same day.

It was also the darkest and bloodiest day in the history of the He family.

The housekeeper Lao Mo suddenly said: "At the end of the hour, the hour has come." ”

He Chunhua's voice was loud and he recited the prayer.

He didn't need to memorize the manuscript, and every word came from the bottom of his heart.

He Lingchuan listened from the sidelines and sighed in his heart.

This world.

The He family was originally a prominent family in the capital, and his great-grandfather was ranked as the minister, even if the situation was chaotic, he could also shield the He family from smooth sailing.

Nineteen years ago, his grandfather, that is, He Chunhua's father, was framed for the crime of treason and treason, and directly stabbed the monarch's rebellion. The old emperor was furious, and personally gave the whole door to be beheaded, or to be decided!

The next day, he came back to his senses, but the He family was basically cut off, and only an eleven-year-old boy was left far away, and he was not affected for a while.

The old emperor thought to himself, I regret it, but I don't say it, I caught the person who framed the He family, and his backhand was another full of beheadings, and he also superimposed a Zhu Jiu clan, and then waved his hand:

The main culprit has already been punished, but the He family tolerated and concealed the report, and it was also improper, and he was regarded as an accomplice. Today, the child of the He family, He Chunhua, will be exempted from death, and he will be demoted to Qiansong County!

So magnanimous.

Since then, He Chunhua, the third son of He Mansion, who is famous in the capital and has a bright future, has suddenly become a bright future.

Fortunately in the misfortune, He Chunhua was not assigned, but "degraded".

The word "depreciation" is used very spiritually. He Chunhua was still young and was not an official, but he was "demoted" by order, which showed that he was not beaten as a commoner, let alone a criminal, and he did not have to engrave and paint on his face.

has not cut off the way of life, nor has it completely cut off the "lifting" machine, which is already the greatest mercy given by the old emperor.

He Lingchuan flipped through the memories of his original body, and he knew very well how He Chunhua climbed step by step from a small station post official to his current official position, and there were two promotions in the middle. In addition to not being bitter and hard for outsiders, this kind of headwind reversal must also have good luck.

After half a cup of tea, He Chunhua finished reciting.

This year, there is a lot of good news for the deceased relatives, including his several meritorious services and his promotion to the governor of Xiazhou and his becoming a member of the feudal territory. In terms of power in his hands, he is already higher than his ancestors.

Therefore, He Chunhua's expression this year is more high-spirited than in previous years. He took a deep breath, took two steps forward, knelt on the futon, and began to kowtow.

Thirty-six knocks in a row, banging, everyone could hear it.

Then, he took the incense from the butler and gently pressed it into the incense burner.
