The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 56
Hou's ancestral tomb was built on Fengshui Mountain, a majestic mountain range in Chen State.Fengshui Mountain has steep mountains and rocks, but its geographical location is excellent, surrounded by clear rivers and misty clouds. Every morning, there are always wisps of golden light shining on this mountain, which is like a fairyland.

On the rocky path, a group of bandits were waiting impatiently.

There were six bandits in total, and each of them had a machete stuck in their waist, chewing grass roots in their mouths, and one of them was the biggest man standing in the middle of the crowd. He had dark skin and wore a tiger skin. On his face and arm, there is a deep and visible scar of the bone, which is so fierce and daunting.

He is the leader of this group of bandits, that is, the one who appeared in Lei's yard, Gray Wolf.

Gray Wolf swept his eyes down the mountain, and could vaguely see a group of chariots and horses driving this way. He grinned coldly, "Hmph, here we come."

As soon as these words came out, a trace of excitement appeared on the faces of the other five bandits. Killing people and stealing goods is their profession, and they can get so much money after they are done.

The gray wolf spat hard on the ground, and a bandit with a sneaky appearance next to him chuckled, "Boss, did that woman say that we have kidnapped someone, and I can do whatever I want!" Rubbing his hands.

Hearing this, the one-eyed dragon who was closest to him swallowed, the greed on his face was not concealed at all, "Really? That's the lady of the Hou Mansion, just thinking about it makes people want to stop." He has done everything from robbing houses to houses, but he really never had a chance to touch these royal family members.

Another bald man gave a wretched smile, and casually poked Cyclops' arm, "I don't know how this young lady offended that woman, I see, these dignitaries are not much cleaner than us!"

A man with a thin face and hunchback sneered when he heard this, "You don't care so much, we can just get the money if we have money, so we can go to drink flower wine after we finish it soon."

"Shou Tuo is right, with so much money, let alone drinking flower wine, it's no problem for us to correct our evil ways!" When Gray Wolf said these words, it became a joke.Reformed?They never thought about it.

Everyone really laughed and echoed, "Brother is talking about it, and the younger ones will follow your orders. When the time comes, brother will buy a high-ranking official to do it, and we younger brothers will be the number one scholar in literature and martial arts. How about it?" ?Hahaha……"

The bandits on this side chatted happily, while on the other side, the whole group of the Hou Mansion had their own thoughts.

A winding mountain road appeared ahead, and the team had already reached the foot of the mountain. Now it was not far from the Hou family's ancestral tomb, and the speed of the group had also slowed down a lot.

Yun Shu raised the brocade curtain on the carriage, and looked out the window.

Surrounded by mountains, the flowers and trees are starting to recover, some willows have already taken branches, and there is vitality everywhere.

The terrain here is steep and the road is uneven. Now they are on the rugged mountain road, the carriage bumps non-stop, but it still doesn't affect Yun Shu's mood in the slightest.

Suddenly, the light in the sky dimmed, and Yunshu raised her eyes to look at the sky, and saw patches of dark clouds covering the sun, and the breeze came with strong water vapor, it was a bit cold, and it might rain.

Sure enough, not long after, it began to rain lightly, and Yun Shu sat leisurely in the carriage, watching the countless strange-shaped rocks passing by outside the window, and slightly closed her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped quietly, and Yun Shu's beautiful eyes suddenly opened, only to realize that she had fallen asleep just now.

"Miss, we have reached the top of the mountain." Yu'er thoughtfully put on a cloak for Yun Shu.

Yun Shu nodded, stepped out of the carriage, and the surrounding scene brightened her eyes.

The place where they live is very broad-minded. From here, the whole village seems to be hugged by mountains. The mountains are majestic, and the moat is at the foot of the mountains. Mountains and rivers, ancestral tombs built here can accumulate blessings for the descendants of the Hou Mansion.

On the top of the mountain, the curtain group made of white marble crawls and winds like a giant dragon, which has a domineering and natural momentum.

Immediately afterwards, the Liu family also got off the carriage in an orderly manner. Because Marquis Changrong was unable to come due to his political affairs, the Lei family temporarily took over the duties of his eldest son and walked beside the old lady to worship their ancestors.

When the old lady got out of the car, her face became solemn. She looked in Yun Shu's direction, "Shu'er, come here."

The story of the old lady's doting on Yun Shu had been rumored before. At this time, everyone saw that Yun Shu was taken to the old lady's side by the steward openly, and they believed it. It turned out that the concubine who was taken back to the Hou's residence not long ago really got the old lady's favor. Favor, which made the people in the third room immediately whisper to each other.

Compared to everyone's envy and jealousy, Lei's only had hatred. At this time, she gave Yun Shu a vicious sideways glance.

Seeing Yunshu walking in front of everyone with a calm face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she walked to the old lady and naturally held her arm.Lei's anger was even more extreme, this lowly girl, just because she was favored by the old lady, she was defiant!But it doesn't matter, let her be proud for a while, after today, let's see if the old lady dares to spoil her!

Seeing that the hour was up, the old lady took the three tall incense plants handed over by the housekeeper, lit them, and with the support of Yun Shu, she cautiously walked towards the gate of the tomb, and knelt down very solemnly.

At this time, Mrs. Lei, the second master, the third master, the second wife and all the descendants behind the old lady knelt down.

Several servant girls stepped forward and placed the sacrifices that had been prepared in each room one by one.

The etiquette of worshiping the ancestors is very complicated, the old lady is meticulous, and ordered people to arrange the white jade porcelain cups in a row, and the second master lifted the wine jar, and poured it over in a neat and unrestrained manner, the strong aroma of the wine wafted to the nostrils.

Afterwards, the sky-shattering sound of firecrackers resounded through the sky, and everyone still knelt on the ground. The scene was solemn and lively.

"Li Cheng!" After half an hour of the ceremony, everyone in the Hou Mansion slowly stood up in the slanting wind and drizzle, and the next time was the unique punctuality of ancestor worship.

The so-called punctuality means that the descendants should stay outside the tombs of the dead ancestors, which means spending more time with the ancestors and letting the ancestors see the present descendants.Naturally, you can also talk about the current family situation in front of your ancestors.

Yun Shu was by the old lady's side, she had a pious expression and muttered to herself, but the little girl beside her naturally didn't dare to disturb her.

Seeing that it was rare to be quiet at this moment, Yun Shu looked around without any trace.

Behind the old lady are the second master and the third master. Since they have not yet inherited the title of marquis, they are not comparable to Changrong Marquis Mansion in terms of status.The appearance of the two of them is somewhat similar to that of Marquis Changrong, but with a little less fierce aura. The second master has a faint bookish look on his body. Yun Shu felt that he was very suitable for the second wife when he saw it, and the third master, It seems that he has wandered in the officialdom for many years, and his exquisite temperament cannot be concealed.

Yun Shu glanced back, and saw the cousins ​​of the third room, and at this moment they were secretly looking at her.

The punctuality passed, and everyone gradually became active. The second wife began to talk and laugh happily with the third wife. From time to time, soft laughter came from the wind. The drizzle didn't seem to affect everyone's mood, but Lei Shi stood alone. In the corner, only Liu Yunhua was with him, as if he was isolated.

Lei Shi absentmindedly glanced at Yun Shu secretly from the corner of his eye, seeing her standing quietly beside the old lady, looking groggy, he was overjoyed.The person who arranged for her said that he heard Yun Shu's master and servant eating cakes in the carriage, and now the medicine was about to take effect. At first, she was worried that this cunning little girl had discovered something.

Gradually her heart settled down, she looked around triumphantly, and found that Master Xi also looked weak.

The pink and jade-carved boy opened his mouth and yawned, and said coquettishly to the second wife, "Mother, Xi'er wants to sleep."

After finishing speaking, he snuggled into the arms of the second lady and found the most comfortable position to lean on.

Liu Yunli just looked at this scene indifferently, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, but there was a weight on her arm, and when she turned her head, she saw Yunyao who was half leaning against her.

"What's wrong? Seventh sister, are you too tired?"

"Yeah." The eyelids are very heavy, and her vision is a bit blurry. After all, Seventh Sister is still young, Liu Yunli didn't think of other places. Today is a big day for herself. She has been depressed for many days. It was very relieved, and the tone couldn't help but soften a lot, "It must be the tiredness of the journey, and the rugged mountain road is not easy to walk, so go back to rest early at night."

Yun Yao nodded, feeling a little moved in her heart, how long has it been since Fourth Sister talked to her in such a soft voice?Since the death of her aunt, the fourth sister seemed to hate herself more and more, but this time, it was rare for the fourth sister to take the initiative to find her, asking her to deliver cakes to the sixth sister.

I vaguely guessed that the fourth sister must have discussed with the first sister how to deal with the sixth sister. The lesson from the last time made her feel uncomfortable every time she saw the sixth sister. If the fourth sister really succeeded, would she treat her in the future? better yourself?

At this time, the raindrops in the sky suddenly became larger, and the tick-tock rain hit the ground, splashing a piece of muddy water, and it fell on the body with unbearable stinging pain.

The slanting wind hit, blowing the heavy rain and scattering it around.

Seeing the situation, Lei hurriedly ran to the old lady, "Mother, it's raining fiercely, we'd better go back earlier, otherwise the mountain road is muddy and there are so many of us, I'm afraid it will be dangerous."

It was pouring rain, but it became more and more turbulent after a while.

The old lady looked at the people who hid in the carriage to avoid the rain, and responded.

Lei Shi was overjoyed, "Daughter-in-law knows a shortcut, and she can go down the mountain soon!" After speaking, she gave Yun Shu a meaningful look.
