The female supporting system of the rebirth of the last world is too calm

Chapter 245 Returning to the old house
After breakfast, Ling Yi wrapped up a thick down jacket and came to Si's old house with Si Qingcang.

The driver stopped the car in front of the iron gate of the old house.

Si Qingcang pulled Ling Yi out of the car, he held her hand with one hand to prevent her from slipping on the road, and held a big white umbrella in the other hand, walking slowly with her in the snow.

Looking at the ancestral hall that was still a long way away from them, Ling Yi asked: "Is this why you specifically told me not to come here wearing high heels when you went out?"

Si Qingcang hummed, "In order to express respect for our ancestors, every time we worship our ancestors on New Year's Day, we have to walk from the door to the ancestral hall."

However, what he didn't say was that only the Patriarch of the Si family and the wife of the Patriarch who had a genealogy record could take the path they were taking.

When others came back to worship their ancestors, they took another more tortuous and difficult path.

Ling Yi said lightly, and then she began to slowly look at the predecessor of the White Tiger Base.

The whiteness of the mountains and plains here gives people the first feeling of tranquility.

The old house did not have several buildings like the villa they lived in.

There are only two places in this old house built on the huge mountainside.

The two places with houses are the ancestral hall of the Si family and the courtyard house where people have always lived.

And the place they are going to now is the ancestral hall.

She had been there when she was a child, and she had the impression that the buildings of the ancestral hall were larger than ordinary houses.

There is a heavy wooden door in front of the ancestral hall. When you knock on the smooth copper ring on the door and push open the door engraved with historical traces, you will feel like you have traveled through time and space.

Because, the quiet and ancient atmosphere in the ancestral hall always gives people the illusion of being in hundreds of years ago.

After entering the house, the first thing he saw was not the tablets of the ancestors of the Si family, but a square table and a few chairs.

When she was in adolescence, one of her favorite things to do after she came to the old house was to play with the interesting things she had newly acquired on that table.

In front of the square table is a corridor. At first glance, the white walls in the corridor seem to depict old cracks; in fact, it is the impression left by the ancestors of the Si family.

Every patriarch, they have a chance to leave their insights in this life on the white wall once in their lifetime.

Walking through the corridor engraved with many philosophies of life, you will find that there is a door at the end of the corridor.

Pushing open the door, what you saw was the place where the ancestral tablets of the Si family were placed.

However, that door is generally not opened except during the holidays.

Ling Yi followed Si Qingcang through the bronze gate and entered the ancestral hall.

Si Qingcang came to the square table with Ling Yi on his arm.

"You stay here for a while, okay?" His Yiyi hasn't been on the family tree of their Si family yet, so she is not suitable to enter it now.

Ling Yi nodded, and in order not to break the tranquil atmosphere here, she whispered: "Go in."

Si Qingcang shook her hand, then turned around and strode towards the corridor.

Looking at his back, Ling Yi could clearly feel that when he walked forward, his temperament changed slightly.

After Si Qingcang pushed open the door and entered the innermost part, Ling Yi reached out and stroked the small square table that carried some of her smiling faces.

She knew that this square table was the only high-tech place in the entire ancestral hall.

In the case that the mechanism on the square table is not closed, whenever someone wants to go over the square table and go inside, the Patriarch of the Si family will know and can make the square table release some gas.

This small square table is disguised as a poison machine that can be operated remotely.

Although there is not much poisonous gas stored in the square table, as long as the intruder has a little poisonous gas on his skin, he will immediately faint and fall to the ground.

Xu was concerned about Ling Yi who was waiting outside alone, and Si Qingcang came out soon.

"Let's go, let's go out." He picked up the white umbrella standing in the corner again, opening up a warm world for the two of them.

Si Qingcang was silent for a moment, then said: "Yiyi, shall we stay here for one night today?"

"Okay." For her, it doesn't matter where she lives.

Seeing her cute appearance, the haze in Si Qingcang's heart dissipated a little, and he said with a light smile, "Then I'll take you for a stroll here, okay?"

"it is good."

"Then will you marry me?"

Ling Yi: ...

Seeing her speechless, Si Qingcang clicked his tongue lightly.

Another day when Yiyi failed to lure him to his house!

In order to change the subject, Ling Yi tugged at his sleeve, and then she raised her finger to the outside of the old house.

"Why didn't a single family see it on the road we came just now?"

Although she knew that this mountain range had been bought by the Si family a long time ago, according to common sense, Ling Yi now does not know about it.

Since she realized her mistake in Uncle Li's matter last time, she has become a lot more cautious.

These things that no one has told her yet, in order not to be guessed by people with big brains about her origin, she still has to ask when it is time to ask.

Si Qingcang rubbed her hair, and then said: "Because our Si family contracted the land here from the country!"

Ling Yi looked up at him, and asked curiously: "How long have you been contracting?"

She is more curious about the answer to this question.

Because, as far as she knew, the Si family's ancestral house had existed here for more than a thousand years.

In this place where the order is sound and the land is owned by the state, how much effort and money did the Si family spend to keep occupying this place?
"As long as the Si family unconditionally hand over one-thousandth of the entire family's net income to the country every year, they can continue to contract here."

One-thousandth of the Si family's annual net income?This shouldn't be a small amount, right?
"May I ask, how much did you pay the country for this place last year?"

"Not much, just a few hundred million." In order not to frighten Ling Yi, Si Qingcang deliberately omitted a few zeros.

Ling Yi: "..."

Although her intuition told her that he was lying, Ling Yi didn't want to explore the truth anymore.

Because, even though she had no experience with the Si family's financial affairs, she could guess that one-thousandth of the Si family's annual net income was not a small number like hundreds of millions just by guessing.

Ling Yi felt that she had reason to suspect that he had underreported a few zeros.

She looked down at the ground she stepped on. The mud on the ground should be made of gold, right?
Stepping on land that may be more precious than gold, Ling Yi, who had never known the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, knew for the first time what it felt like to hate the rich.
