The last time I was standing outside the ancestral hall, I didn't know the cold inside, but this time I really experienced it.

The clan elder was afraid that he was disgusted with himself like bones, and even the broken bed built by his subordinates was torn apart. In addition to standing, you can only sit on the ground, but the blue brick floor of the cold winter wax moon is biting cold, and after sitting for a while, the whole body will be cold. Yuan Xi rubbed his hands, the inside of this ancestral hall was heavy, and it was colder than in the snow outside.

The ancestral hall is locked, and it is the same as the last time it locked Yuanjie, but this time, no one can send anything to himself. In the evening, I heard a commotion outside the courtyard, as if someone wanted to break in, but was stopped by the little guys.

It was the voice of Yuan Yue and Ling'er.

The incense smoke in the incense ding, the smoke of the entire ancestral hall was heavy. There is a steady supply of spices, but there is no tribute. The clan elder played a good calculation, afraid that Yuanxi would steal the tribute, so he replaced the tribute in front of the ancestral tablet with brass bills, and said: Give money to the ancestors.

It is bearable to starve for three days, but it is so cold in this hall, and there is no yang energy in the person to resist, so it is difficult to resist. For three days in a row, Yuan Xi shrank near Xiangding, although the smoke choked people dizzy, but he could still have a little heat, so that he could survive the days of water and food.

Three days later, the ancestral hall suddenly opened a window and sent in a bowl of noodles with clear soup and water.

The soup is fish broth, just without salt and vegetable oil. It is boiled with a small fish with water, and the smell is very strong. The noodles are a bowl of coarse bud grain noodles pressed into dumplings, the texture is very coarse, it should be aged bud grain flour.

The mother-in-law who delivered the meal threw down a cruel sentence: "The clan elder said, doesn't the third lady never touch the fishy? This is it today, and this is the case every day after tomorrow, if you like to eat or not, if you don't eat, you will starve to death!"

"Hey, which room are you from, what's your name?" asked Won-hee looking at the mean-looking mother-in-law.

The woman was stunned at first, and she didn't dare to answer hesitantly.

Yuan Xi sneered: "What's the matter? Dare to splash at me, don't you have the courage to report your name and surname?"

The woman who delivered the meal was obviously stimulated by this, and shouted with a stalk around her neck: "You are now a phoenix that has fallen off the shelf, and you are not as good as a chicken, and you still think you are the third lady?

Yuan Xi looked at her indifferently: "You still haven't said, which room you are in and what is your name." ”

"What's wrong with Liu Guihua in the old family's courtyard, washing clothes! I'm in the old family's house, I'm still afraid that you won't make it?" That being said, the woman was obviously a little lacking in qi, but she was just hard-mouthed.

"Okay, I remember you, you wait. Won-hee looked at her steadily.

"Wait, wait, I'm the elder of the clan, I'm still afraid that you won't make it, what are you pretending to be ......" The mother-in-law called Liu Guihua left in a daze, and her mouth was still bold.

The pungent fishy smell made the stomach churn for a while, and after not eating for three days, the stomach and intestines were clean, and the fishy smell became more and more intense. Yuan Xi took the big bowl, forcibly suppressed the nausea, and ate the bowl of noodles in one bite.

A fishy smell came out of his stomach, and Wonxi held on to the offering table and vomited. Yuan Xi looked at the ancestral token hatefully and gritted his teeth. This old thing can really think of tricks to toss people!

"Third sister, how are you?" Yuan Yue knocked on the window of the ancestral hall and brought in a bowl of white bird's nest porridge and two custard rolls.

The thing was still warm, and Yuan Yue smiled: "I cooked it for you with my own hands, and I sent it as soon as it was cooked." I heard Xiang'er say that the clan elder asked someone to bring you fish soup. The clan elder is really, a lot of people are still disrespectful to the old like this, and they make such a means of doing this. Knowing that you haven't eaten fish since you were a child, I prefer you to eat this, isn't this deliberately making you uncomfortable?"

Yuan Xi shook his head: "Second sister, thank you." But I can't ask for anything from you anymore. ”

"What, if it doesn't suit your appetite, I'll go and change it to something else. Yuan Yue looked at Yuan Xi with concern.

"From today, I started eating fish. They like to send fish soup, so ask them to send it. Not to mention a bowl of unsalted fish soup, even if I was given a raw fish, I would eat it alive for them. Yuan Xi clenched his fists fiercely: "I will never forget this account, and when I get out of here, I will get it back one by one." ”

"Third sister, I know that you are angry in your heart, but you can't afford to spoil your body like this? People who haven't eaten fish since childhood have a spoiled appetite, can you stand your appetite if you eat hard like this?" ”

Yuan Xi pursed his lips: "Second sister, you better take it." I'm going to eat fish from today, and I'm not going to let anyone scratch my soft underbelly anymore, and I'm never going to let them find any tricks to torment me again!"

Yuan Yue wanted to say something, but was chased away by the little guys with sticks. Ten taels of silver, only changed this hurried side, a few simple words. Yuan Yue didn't have much money, but at this time, he didn't give up on himself, and Yuan Xi felt a warm current in his heart.

In the evening, it was still a bowl of fish soup, but it was even more fishy than before, and there were blood streaks in it, which was not cooked at all.

Liu Guihua, who delivered the meal in the morning, did not come, and Yuan Xi asked specifically. The mother-in-law who came this time was very kind, and politely told Yuanxi the reason why Liu Guihua had a stomachache and didn't come to deliver food. Yuan Xi sneered, the stupid woman was frightened by her own words.

The fish soup was fishy and vaguely smelly, but Won-hee still didn't have a bite left.

"Third Miss, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly change sex? Didn't you stop eating fish when you were a child?"

Aunt You's delicate voice was clear as soon as she heard it.

Yuan Xi sneered: "Everyone who entered the ancestral hall was knocked ten taels of silver by the little maid. Aunt You, you are a person who has not had a monthly amount of silver for three years, and you are willing to spend ten taels of silver to see me, which is really touching. ”

Aunt You sneered: "Just those few chickens and dogs outside, dare to reach out to me?"

"That's, how dare they. You are now in charge of the Wei family's inner house, if they dare to knock you today, you can knock them ten times tomorrow. Yuan Xi leaned on the wooden door and saw the ancestral tablets lined up.

"Look at what Miss San said, if those people don't have a handle, even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I can't help them, don't you say?"

"Forget it, what is the handle of Hua Sui? You even dare to take advantage of the dead man's money, are you embarrassed to say it here?" Yuan Xi said sharply: "You Shi, you see clearly, this is the ancestral hall of the ancestors, and the tablets of the ancestors are here, if you say sorry things in front of them, you are not afraid that the ancestors will condemn you?"

You Shi lacked confidence and was silent for a long time: "Wei Yuanxi, you don't have to pretend to be a ghost here to scare people." If the ancestors had spirits, the first one would cure you, a loser!"

"Shut up!" Yuan Xi shouted: "You Shi, what is your identity, what is my identity? I, Wei Yuanxi, am the only concubine of the Wei Mansion and the only heir of the Wei family. Don't say that I am loyal to the Queen Mother and not rewarded by the court, even if I throw the silver into the water, it will not be your turn to teach me a lesson. ”

"You!" Aunt You laughed angrily, her smile was extremely cold, and with the dim sky, it looked more and more like a ghost in the wilderness.

"Aren't you, the invincible concubine of the Wei Mansion, also locked up in the ancestral hall now?

Hahaha...... Yuan Xi laughed for a while: "Aunt You said well, the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs." But you have to remember that even if a tiger is in trouble, it is still a tiger after all, and no matter how fierce the dog is, it will not change its status. ”

Aunt You was angry and hateful: "Don't be complacent, the dove occupies the magpie's nest after all, after all, your damn mother didn't die with you, that's God, he was blind, he didn't have eyes!

You Shi said, kicked the wooden door hard, and left angrily.

Won-hee sat slowly on the ground leaning on the wooden door, and she almost vomited bile after two fishy meals in a row. There was a chilling cramp in her stomach now, and she was drenched in cold sweat. She had never had a stomach ache when she had grown so big, and it was the first time in sixteen years, and it was a sharp pain. I think it's because of the cold in the ancestral hall, plus the relationship between two vomits.

Won-hee shrunk into a ball, crushing his appetite tightly, silently enduring the pain. I don't know how long it hurt, Won-hee slowly lay on the ground and fell asleep.

......

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the ancestral hall and shone on the tablet of the ancestors, and the copper chain on the door panel of the ancestral hall was opened with a bang. The person who came pushed the door inside, but the door couldn't be opened, so he smashed it a few times: "Third Miss, Third Miss Open the door!"

Yuan Xi slowly opened his eyes, shivering all over his body, and his head was splitting: "What are you doing?"

"Third Miss, the slave is in the courtyard of the old clan, and the old lady wants the third lady to go to the front yard to receive the holy decree!"

"Holy Decree ......" Yuan Xi rubbed his temples, only to feel that he had no strength in his body, and his head was groggy.

Won-hee shook his head and stood up suddenly. At this sudden stop, it was dark in front of me, and I sat for a long time to relieve myself.

"Can't get up...... No strength. Won-hee sat back on the ground and pressed his body against the door.

"Third Miss, the clan elder said that now is not the time to be angry, it is the father-in-law in the palace who has come to pass on the holy decree, and it is for you!"

Angry? Did the old man wipe out all the tortures he had made to himself in the past few days? He tortured himself in every way, and he was embarrassed to say that he was angry? Yuan Xi snorted, she was going to be angry.

Yuan Xi rubbed his appetite that was still cramping, leaned against the door and said, "I don't have the strength to be angry...... I just don't have the strength. ”

"Third Miss, are you okay? You must not have anything to do at this time!" The little guy was stupid, and was coaxed by Yuan Xi's few words and panicked: "You wait, I'll go back to the clan elder and ask the clan elder to invite a doctor for you to take a look." ”

Yuan Xi lowered his head and tossed it, this time he tossed that old thing by himself.
