Chapter 717 Testing
The 16th is Saturday, when the closing ceremony of the National Student Games is being held. Many families in the capital's wealthy circles took advantage of the weekend to visit Mr. He San and give Mrs. He a birthday gift in advance as a mark of respect.
Mrs. He of the He family will turn 100 on National Day. Mrs. He is not only a meritorious revolutionary veteran, but also the widow of one of the few revolutionary heroes. The He family is also a leader in various industries and has contacts with the He family. Naturally, you can't be rude and give a birthday gift first. The gift is not valuable, but meaningful.
As September entered, many families in Beijing visited Mr. He San on weekends one after another. The He family was not surprised. All the family gifts were non-violating favors and they were all accepted.
Mr. and Mrs. He San, their sons and nephews received visitors at home. While watching the closing ceremony of the Hangzhou Student Sports Meet, they chatted about sports. The guests of honor had a great time chatting with each other.
Thousands of college student athletes who gathered in Hangzhou from all over the world waved goodbye after the closing ceremony and went their separate ways. Only a few delegations were waiting to leave tomorrow. The Beijing team athletes rushed to the station, T City and H North City. Several delegations were traveling in the same direction.
In order to provide convenience for athletes in the National Games and Student Games, as well as sports fans and athletes who come to watch, the railway department has temporarily added a few more trains or added carriages on some of the busiest railway lines to meet people's travel needs. So you don’t have to worry about not being able to buy a ticket.
Classmate Le gave all the trophies and other things to her handsome brother and Coach Ou to help bring them back to Beijing. She and handsome boy Yan went to Si's house as guests.
Xin Wushao and his family members watched the competition every day during the competition. They felt that it was natural for the little beauty to achieve good results. If the Immortal Doctor did not get first place in the competition, wouldn't it be a loss of reputation?
Just like people from the Gu Xiu Gu Wu family, if they become athletes, they must be the best. Under normal circumstances, the direct descendants of the ancient family will not become professional athletes in line with the principle of low-key, unless they really like a certain sport too much. Abandoning spiritual practice to become an athlete;
many of the side branches or concubine branches of the old aristocratic families have had professional athletes, and almost all of them have won awards in international competitions. After retirement, they will wither away like ordinary people.
The Si family sent a total of five cars to pick up little girl Le. Young Master Xin sat in the back seat with his sister-in-law and Young Master Yan. The Si family had their own special snacks and fresh seasonal fruits. Classmate Le held the bag of snacks and ate them along the way.
The little beauty was so willful that she happily ate snacks. Xin Wushao and the bodyguards were very happy.
The Si surname has divided into many surnames, such as Yu, Xin, Fei, Xia, Ouyang, Sikong, Tan, Zou, Zeng, etc. The original Si surname has a small population.
The Si family has its roots in the south of the Yangtze River, and has moved and dispersed several times due to historical reasons. Later, the direct descendants still returned to the place where they lived in the south of the Yangtze River. Now they live at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain, a famous mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. They are not the well-known Si family of Dayu Village, but A village that seems to have nothing to do with Dayu Village.
Xin Wushao and his party set out from Hangzhou and headed for Si's home without any hurry or slowness. While they were still chatting on the road, Coach Ou and others rushed to the high-speed rail station to have lunch first, and checked in at around 12 o'clock. , take the high-speed train to the capital at 12:50 and return to Beijing.
When the high-speed train of the beautiful boy and others departed from Hangzhou Station for Kyoto, the Si family motorcade carrying little girl Le also arrived at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain and drove onto the village road leading to the Si family's traditional residence village.
Kuaiji Mountain has thousands of rocks competing for beauty, thousands of valleys contending for streams, and the misty grass and trees are as beautiful as the clouds and the azure clouds. The people of the Si family are at the foot of the mountain, leaning against the famous mountains, and the beautiful water is passing by not far away. The beautiful mountains, beautiful waters and pastoral scenery are combined. Isshiki.
The characteristic of Shaoxing's residential buildings is Taimen, which is a closed and independent courtyard of a certain size. It is similar in nature to a courtyard house, but each has its own characteristics in architectural style.
The traditional residential layout in Shao City is based on Taimen. Almost all the buildings in the Si family's residence are Taimen. Although they are not as exquisite and rich as the buildings in the famous Taimen ancient town, and not as grand and dignified as the residences of dignitaries, most of the buildings are. It is an old building from the Zhu Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It is paved with bricks and stones of the same color and looks low-key and simple.
Looking around at the entrance of the village, behind the modern buildings is a stretch of whitewashed walls and black tiles, with clean and elegant buildings standing quietly. Water flowed from a distance flows through the village, and the stone-paved alleys have a long lasting charm.
Because the roads in the village are narrow, vehicles can only travel on the main road and stop at a side road. Several young people from the Si family drove the car away. Young Master Xin led several young people to accompany Miss Le and Young Master Yan along the stone alley. , walked through several alleys, and arrived in front of a quaint gate. The door frame of the gate has no carvings, only bluestones, but it cannot conceal its vastness and vicissitudes.
The door under the door frame is inlaid with a copper shell and has copper nails. The copper beast holds the door knocker in its mouth. The bluestone slab of the ring platform door has been washed clean, and some jasmine and rose petals have been sprinkled, giving it a light fragrance. Attack people.
Mr. Xin Wushao accompanied the two distant guests just outside the gate of Datai. The heavy door slowly opened from the inside. There were two rows of young scholars in their twenties in the courtyard inside the door. Two young men holding Buddha dust in their hands were opening the door. , a bookish middle-aged man in his forties wearing martial arts uniforms stood with a smile to welcome the guests.
The two young people who pushed the door open lightly returned to the queue of young people. There were twelve people on each side, no more, no less, twenty-four in total, holding Buddha dust, brooms, water bowls, flower baskets, incense burners, and wishful thinking respectively.
When the door opened, Leyun scanned the people in the courtyard and was surprised when she saw the welcoming formation. Is it really okay for the Si family to arrange such a high-standard ceremony?
Because he was visiting an ancient aristocratic family, Yan Xing did not wear sunglasses. Standing on Xiao Luo's left hand side, his eyebrows trembled slightly when he saw the Si family's formation. The Si family's welcome was very grand.
"Little beauty, Young Master Yan, my uncle Si Hanfeng is here to greet you. Please come in." The family door opened, and Fifth Young Master Xin asked the two distant guests to move forward.
Youdao is for guests to do as they please, but Leyun was not polite, so she walked towards Si's front door, stepped on the flower petals, climbed the steps to the front door of the front door, and raised her right foot first to enter the threshold.
The young master accompanied the guests, and the young scholars inside the door sprinkled water in front of them, swept the ground with brooms, and sprinkled flower petals.
When the door opened wide, Si Hanfeng had already walked out to welcome them. Seeing his nephew accompanying the guests across the threshold, he took two quick steps again to greet the two distant guests. He clasped his fists heartily and said, "Little beauty and Mr. Yan have come all the way from the Si family. I feel deeply uneasy that I was unable to leave the village to greet you. Si Hanfeng would like to welcome the two distinguished guests here on behalf of the whole family." "
Si, you are so polite, but I have the temerity to disturb you. I am ashamed." Yan Xing politely raised his fists and saluted.
"Senior, you are very polite. Young Master Si welcomed you nearly eighty miles away. This junior is flattered." Le Yun returned the courtesy, and Shi Xuanran met with the person in charge of the Si family's welcome.
"Young lady is too modest, please come in quickly. Our elders have been waiting in the atrium for a long time." Si Hanfeng smiled and asked the two young guests to go inside.
The young people from the Si family trotted forward first, sprinkling water, sweeping the floor and scattering flower petals.
When his uncle arrived, Si Xian decisively gave up his seat and went to the left side of Young Master Yan to accompany Young Master Yan. His uncle personally entertained the little beauty, and the young man who helped the young lady and Young Master Yan and Fifth Young Master carry their backpacks followed behind.
After passing the second entrance door, six middle-aged and elderly people greeted them inside. After the third entrance, there were six more people. After the fourth entrance, four people greeted each other on the patio. This time they invited the guests in. East Wing Hall.
The Si family's terrace gate leads into seven courtyards, and there are also seven courtyards on the left and right sides. The fourth courtyard in the central courtyard is the atrium, which is also the most noble. The three courtyards at the back belong to the backyard, which is the private living area of the Si family.
There are also two elders and one middle-aged man in the east side room. One has white eyebrows and white hair. He is holding a crutch with a black unicorn head. He is wearing a blue tunic, wide trousers, and round-mouthed cloth shoes. He is the predecessor of the Si family. Si Yujiang;
the person supporting the old patriarch is Si Chunfeng, the current patriarch of the Si family. The person on the other side of the old patriarch is Si Yuanmao, the previous patriarch of the Si family. He looks about seventy years old and is also walking with a cane, dark red.
There are several middle-aged men standing outside the main hall in the east chamber, all of them reserved and ordinary-looking.
The head of the Si family accompanied the first two seniors to wait for each other in the main hall of the east chamber. Hearing the footsteps approaching from far away, it can be seen from the footsteps that Young Master Yan’s footsteps were steady. When he landed, the forefoot was slightly heavier than the heel. The little girl from the Immortal Medicine Sect His steps are light and his steps are even.
Si Hanfeng and the clan elders accompanied the two young guests along the corridor to the main hall of the east wing and first stood aside to show courtesy. However, Le Xiaoxiao glanced at the eight gate gods outside the door with a flat look, and stood on the left hand side of the door from right to left. A seemingly middle-aged man who was counting raised his hand and said: "If this junior is not mistaken, this senior must be the only remaining senior Si Meinuan among the Mei generation of the Si family." What
?
Fifth Young Master Xin was confused by the little beauty's inexplicable words. Is his great-great-grandfather playing disguise again?
The three people in the main hall: "..." Embarrassed, the ancestor is playing a guessing game to amuse children again?
After the disguise was discovered, Si Meinuan laughed and stepped out calmly: "Little girl, you have good eyesight. When I go around the family like this, almost no one can see through it, but you can tell the real thing from the fake at a glance." "You old Yi
Yi The makeup skills are superb, and it must be difficult for most people to distinguish between true and false. However, this junior is born with a sensitive nose and can smell the scent of the disguise medicine." Le Yun blinked meaningfully, stretched out her hand in a gesture of invitation: "As always, please." Everyone in the Si family was silent
. With a sigh, Si Xian stretched out his hand to help his great-great-grandfather with great sadness: "Old ancestor, you are always teasing your grandsons. If you continue like this, sooner or later, you will scare your grandsons to death." "Our family
. A wise man is brave enough to be scared to death." Si Meinuan casually put her hand on her grandson's hand and walked up to the little girl who looked like a little white rabbit. She wanted to touch her beard, but she only touched her bald chin. He asked with interest: "Little girl, guess how old I am?"
"You used the disguise technique, so you can't see your face. You can only guess from the skin of your arms and neck that you are no younger than your senior years. If you always let me touch you... Feeling your pulse, I will probably tell you how long you will live."
The little girl, who looked like a little white rabbit, had bright eyes and wide teeth, and a smile like the spring breeze. Si Mei's warm brows and eyes were peaceful, and she stretched out her hand to feel for her pulse: "You can feel it. , hand to you."
