Chapter 71 Yu Family Ancestral Hall
Walking into the dark alley, away from the crowd, Zhao Jiuge's dark eyes became a little cold, when he was at the intersection before, Zhao Jiuge casually asked an elderly uncle, where is the Yu family's house, fortunately, Yuhua Town is not big, and the Yu family is the largest family in the town, and the old man was very enthusiastic to tell Zhao Jiuge's location.
After figuring out the location, Zhao Jiuge gave half of the watermelon that he couldn't eat to the old man, and then left the stunned old man to watch Zhao Jiuge's back and leave.
Through the cold moonlight, you can see Zhao Jiuge's cold eyes more and more clearly, since he came out of the Xuantian Sword Gate, he began to contact the crowd again, Zhao Jiuge's mentality changed little by little, and the young man who was full of worries for life before can no longer be seen.
Out of the alley shrouded in darkness, turning the corner, Zhao Jiuge saw the door of the Yu family's mansion illuminated by eight red lanterns.
Gray stone steps, the brown and black gate I don't know what kind of wood is used, there is a plaque hanging above the top of the gate, the word Yufu is written with gold lacquer powder, there are several paper lanterns hanging on the eaves of the courtyard wall of the red carved stone tile, and there are two majestic stone lions on both sides of the gate, the appearance is similar to what I saw at the door of Mo Men in Dongyang City, the only difference is that the body size is obviously much smaller.
The gate is open, through the brown and black gate, it seems to be a large courtyard with several entrances and exits, as for the depths, it is not something that can be seen clearly from the outside, but Zhao Jiuge can still see a lot of light in the distance.
Walked forward, took a few steps, stood outside the threshold of the gate, hesitated a few times but did not step in, but stretched his neck to look left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he took a few steps forward, raised his right hand to clasp the copper handle on the gate, and knocked it up and down a few times.
Although he came to the Yu family to help, this was also Zhao Jiuge's first time doing a task, and he didn't know how to deal with people, so he didn't dare to enter someone else's yard abruptly.
Hearing the sound of the door, soon an elderly man dressed as a butler walked out, dressed in a gray-blue printed silk gown, his clothes were spotless, his eyes were bright, and the beard at his chin also gave people a clean feeling, and the whole person's face revealed a shrewd look.
Although Yuhua Town is not big, but the Yu family is definitely the richest and most powerful in Yuhua Town, as a housekeeper of the Yu family, there is definitely nothing to say in terms of vision or behavior.
Yu Fu looked at the dusty young man at the door, his appearance was delicate, he was not very old, but he gave the well-informed Yu Fu a feeling that he couldn't say anything, although this young man was dressed simply and ordinarily, but Yu Fu didn't dare to pretend, he didn't have the arrogant expression of the past, but said with a little doubt and incomprehension, "May I ask who you are?"
After Yu Fu finished speaking, he looked Zhao Jiuge up and down, wanting to find something from him.
"Then I was ordered by my master to come to Yuhua Town to help your Yu family solve the problem. Zhao Jiuge chuckled lightly and said slowly.
However, Yu Fu seemed to be half a beat slower in his heart when he heard it, and then his eyes widened and he was a little surprised, frowning and asking, "Master?"
"Well, Xuantian Sword Gate. Zhao Jiuge nodded.
This time it was Yu Fu's turn to be surprised, something strange happened in the town some time ago, the master of the family couldn't solve the busy anxiety, and asked people everywhere to solve it, there were many temples and Taoist temples in the Chinese Dynasty, and the people naturally believed in ghosts and gods, and it happened that the surrounding area was protected by the Xuantian Sword Gate, so a few months ago, he entrusted someone to the Xuantian Sword Gate, and then he didn't wait for the news that the master had to entrust others, where did he think that now the disciples of the Xuantian Sword Gate are here, and they are so young, although Yu Fu still has some doubts, but this matter is very important, and he does not dare to slack off.
"Immortal Master, you wait, I'll go and call my master. The tone was hurried, and after he bowed his head respectfully after speaking, he was as fast as he flew, and rushed towards the courtyard.
Only Zhao Jiuge, who was stunned, muttered to himself, "Immortal Master, this is the Immortal Master?"
Zhao Jiuge didn't wait long, he saw no less than a dozen, hurriedly came to the door from the mansion, led by a middle-aged man wearing a golden silk coat and a little fat belly, standing next to him was a tall young man and a beautiful girl, and a young man about the same age as Zhao Jiuge, behind several people stood several female dependents and subordinates, as well as the housekeeper Yu Fu.
At this time, Yu Fu pointed at Zhao Jiuge with one hand, and while looking back at the old man Yu Qingshan gasped and said, "Master, this is the immortal master, here." After finishing speaking, his hands hung down slightly and he kept silent.
"Dad, this age is about the same age as me, and he is still an immortal master, will he be a liar, so young. The young man next to him looked surprised, and was surprised to see Zhao Jiuge, and couldn't help but call out.
"Shut up, kids, you know. Yu Qingshan was angry, staring at the youngest son Yu Qiusheng with horizontal eyebrows, for fear that his words would be disrespectful and cause trouble for no reason, no matter how much he loved this youngest son, he didn't dare to let him be presumptuous at this time.
Others may think that those immortals who are swaying and flying with swords do not exist, but when Yu Qingshan was young, he had seen an old man flying a sword to kill people, and the power caused by that momentum still remained in Yu Qingshan's heart, so although he saw Zhao Jiuge so young, Yu Qingshan did not underestimate him in the slightest.
Taking a step forward respectfully, bowing his body slightly to show respect, Yu Qingshan said with a smile, "Immortal Chief, the dog is so offended when he speaks, please don't blame it, in addition, it's getting late, I don't know if the Immortal Elder is far away." ”
The situation in front of him made Zhao Jiuge a little confused, and more than a dozen eyes on the opposite side made Zhao Jiuge a little at a loss, this was the first time that he was treated like a moon by the stars, those eyes had admiration, surprise and even suspicion, especially the beautiful girl's beautiful eyes and couldn't wait to see herself through.
After brewing in his heart, Zhao Jiuge, who was not very good at words, was simply not polite, shook his head with a cold expression, and said, "It's okay." ”
The more Zhao Jiuge is like this, Yu Qingshan not only did not feel the slightest unhappiness but felt a little relieved, presumably this immortal elder is a little younger, and he should also have some ability, otherwise the Xuantian Sword Sect would not have sent him out.
Yu Qingshan took a step, turned sideways, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the courtyard, and said with a smile, "Immortal Chief, please come into the hall to speak." ”
Then the people behind Yu Qingshan scattered to both sides, making way for the middle, and Zhao Jiuge took the lead in walking with Yu Qingshan.
"My name is Zhao Jiuge, you can just call me by my name, and then you can tell me what the situation is about that matter. On the way, Zhao Jiuge said to Yu Qingshan, who was walking on his right.
Yu Qingshan didn't expect this young man to be so resolute, and he was in a hurry to understand the situation without caring about the night, in fact, how did he know that Zhao Jiuge was in a hurry to cause the task as soon as possible and go back to collect the tribute as soon as possible.
Yujia Hall.
The front wall of the hall is hung with a landscape map, the artistic conception is shown between the green mountains and green waters, but there is no special meaning, just ordinary people do decoration, and in front of the hall wall there are two pear blossom wood carved backrest floor flower chairs, respectively sitting Zhao Jiuge and Yu Qingshan.
And Mrs. Yu, who has always sat in the first place, sat in the first place on her left hand today, wearing a printed long dress, a hollow shawl on her shoulders, her hair was coiled high, and she looked thirty years old.
Under Mrs. Yu's hand, there is a ten-year-old girl, the girl's skin is delicate, and this Yu woman is seven points similar, small and beautiful, plus she is wearing a gauze skirt, and the youth and vitality of her body are particularly attractive, this is Yu Qingshan's second daughter Yu Xiasheng.
At this time, the girl listened with great interest to her father and the boy who was younger than herself, but who sounded older than herself, and her eyes were full of strangeness.
The first one sitting opposite was the young man with a calm face, who didn't say a word from the beginning to the present, just listened carefully, and looked extremely mature, this is Yu Qingshan's eldest son Yu Chunsheng.
The last one is Yu Qingshan's youngest son, fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same as Zhao Jiuge, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to listen to the conversation between his father and Zhao Jiuge, and the word doubt was almost written on his little face, muttering something in a low voice.
As for the other subordinates, they were not qualified to come in, and the housekeeper Yu Fu ordered the subordinates to prepare the banquet.
"This thing is a long story, although my Yu family is not a big family, but in this area I feel that it is second to none, my ancestors did not live in the array, but in the countryside in the suburbs not far from the town, and then my Yu family developed, they moved into the town, so many years of wealth and more, so every year we have to go back to our hometown, our Yu family ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, used to go back every year is fine, but this year not long ago back, a series of strange things happened, I tried my best but there was still no result, which made me worried, I Yu Qingshan has no other years in this life, to the old people have such a thing, How can I go to see the ancestors and ancestors after waiting, this is really no way, so I asked someone to find your faction, I thought that no one would care, and you will come after a few months. Yu Qingshan said slowly, his face was also cloudy, and then he changed from frightened to full of sadness.
Zhao Jiuge was very strange What is a strange thing, and it happened in the ancestral hall, glanced at a few people in the hall, and at the moment they were all listening attentively to Yu Qingshan's words, and looking at their own reactions, seeing that they all had some frightened looks on their faces, Zhao Jiuge raised his head and asked, "What is a series of strange things?" "To put it bluntly, it is haunted. Yu Qingshan glared at Zhao Jiuge and said a little abruptly
In this silent night, those two words were particularly harsh, and the youngest Yu Qiusheng shrank his neck. "Immortal Chief, you must solve the problem, now that others say that my house is haunted, I have done something that is sorry for my conscience, so that I can't sleep well every night now, and I still don't know where it happened. Yu Qingshan looked sad and confided in Zhao Jiuge. "Don't worry, since I'm here, I'll definitely help you solve the problem, it shouldn't be a big deal. Zhao Jiuge said with a calm face.
Seeing Zhao Jiuge's confident appearance, even the disgraced Mrs. Yu and Yu Xiasheng's faces were a little better.
But Yu Qiusheng shouted, "Are you really good, you look about the same age." “
Just when Yu Qingshan was about to shout angrily about this little son, Zhao Jiuge was unusual, and actually laughed, and said to Yu Qiusheng, "I am sixteen this year, I should be about the same as you, and the little brother tells you a word, a man can't say no." “
After saying that, he stood up, and when he stood up, he seemed to remember something, and then he added, and said with a gentle smile, "Oh, by the way, you should still be a boy, not a man." “
After Zhao Jiuge finished speaking, he left a back for everyone, and after saying that he was hungry and eating, he left the hall, leaving only a family with a shy face to look at this little fairy who had felt a little stable before.
