Nan Jingyou hummed softly, he turned on the speaker of his mobile phone, adjusted the volume to a suitable level, placed it next to his pillow, got into a sleeping position, and finally closed his eyes.

There seemed to be a pleasant tune passing by my ears, it was You Che's gentle and magnetic voice.

"Deep in the universe, there is a mysterious palace floating. Inside lives a god who is as old as the universe but extremely lonely in his heart."

"In the long years, in order to kill time, he would occasionally travel between various small worlds, looking down on all living things mechanically and indifferently, until one day, he met a special boy in a small world..."

I was only halfway through the story when I heard a slight snoring sound coming from the receiver.

You Che paused, then smiled lovingly and gently, "Good night, my love."

……

In the early morning, the bright sunshine shines evenly on the green trees and grass.

After breakfast, Nan Jingyou and his group set off for Qu Ning’s ancestral home.

Quning County, Jiang City is in the province next to Beijing City, and it only takes more than five hours to drive there. For convenience, Lin Ruhua plans to take a direct bus there.

There were five cars in the group, three of which were bodyguard cars, and the remaining two carried Nan Jingyou and his son and their respective partners.

In addition to the four of them, at the request of their aunt Lin Qingwan, Bi Boxu and Nan Jingyou's cousin and younger cousin also followed in the car.

As for the other cousin, one is in high school and the other is in college, so they naturally don’t need to go.

Turning from the downtown area onto the highway, there were fewer cars on the road and the surroundings began to become empty. Away from the city, even the air felt a little fresher.

With You Che's company along the way, it wasn't boring at all.

Five hours passed in a blink of an eye. After getting off the highway, the car drove for a while.

Nan Jingyou discovered that unlike the skyscrapers in big cities, this place was more like an ancient town with rivers crisscrossing the town, giving a sense of a southern water town.

The vehicle drove on the bluestone road and finally stopped at the door of a tall ancient building.

There are two majestic stone lions standing at the door, and the wall is two people high. Judging from the specifications of the house, it would have been considered a wealthy family in ancient times.

The bodyguard in front parked the car, got out and knocked on the door.

With a creaky sound, the heavy door slowly opened like an old man, and then... a man in his sixties walked out.

Looking at the people at the door, the old man blinked, and when his eyes fell on Lin Ruhua, his pupils widened in surprise.

"Master, you are finally back. I haven't seen you in several years."

"Uncle Xu, long time no see. How are you?" Lin Ruhua sat in a wheelchair and greeted the old man with a smile.

"Hehehe... I'm fine, old man. Master, are you back to worship the master and ancestors?" He subconsciously turned his gaze to Nan Jingyou and You Che.

These two young men looked unfamiliar, and no one knew what their relationship was with the head of the family.

Lin Ruohua nodded slightly, "Yes, my son is found. This time I brought him back to recognize his ancestors and pay homage to his father."

After death, members of the Lin family will be buried in the ancestral tomb, and the tablets will be placed in the Lin family ancestral hall. Even if Lin Ruhua's father died abroad, his ashes were still brought back to his hometown and buried in the ancestral tomb.

In the past, due to health reasons, he could not bear the long journey, so he did not return to his ancestral home to worship every year.

"Manman, this is Grandpa Xu. He has been guarding the Lin family's ancestral home for decades." He patted Nan Jingyou's hand and introduced him.

Nan Jingyou greeted politely, "Hello, Grandpa Xu."

Uncle Xu was still in shock, but when he heard the name Grandpa Xu, he quickly responded happily, "Hey, young master."

He didn't expect that the young master who had been missing for more than 20 years could be found.

"Okay, Uncle Xu, let's go into the house first." Lin Ruhua said gently.

"Okay, okay, come in quickly, Master. You should have informed me earlier. The rooms in the house are not ready yet. Have you eaten yet..."

Facing Uncle Xu's nagging, Lin Ruohua explained: "Uncle Xu, we will not eat and rest in the ancestral home tonight. We have already booked a hotel nearby. You don't need to do anything. Just have someone clean the ancestral hall and prepare the supplies for tomorrow's worship. We will officially start the ancestral worship tomorrow morning."

"By the way, the family tree has also been prepared in advance. Manman will be recorded in the family tree tomorrow."

In addition to Uncle Xu, there are servants who are responsible for maintaining and cleaning the ancestral home. They are all old people who have worked in the Lin family for many years, and the shortest one has worked there for nearly ten years.

This house has always been kept in its most original state, and the servants are all native residents of Qu Ning. On weekdays, they only come to the house to clean and repair it every now and then, and usually do not stay in the house at night.

So before she came, Lin Ruhua had no plan to live there.

Quning Ancient Town is a nationally renowned tourist destination. There are many five-star hotels and various light luxury hotels and inns nearby, so Yun Mo had someone book a hotel early in the morning.

Uncle Xu led everyone to the house to rest. They passed through a series of archways and came to the hall. Nan Jingyou was observing the surrounding environment all the way.

Different from the elegance and magnificence of the courtyard houses in Beijing, this ancient house has a dull and vicissitudes of life feeling. To be honest, if he were really asked to live here, he would actually feel a little reluctant.

After all, no one wants to live in a gloomy old house.

Especially since this is the resting place of the ancestors of the Lin family, he was really afraid that when he opened his eyes at night, he would see his ancestors lying in front of his bed and staring at him.

Call him a coward or a wimp, he accepted it for the sake of his own mental health.

Nan Jingyou's cousin is called Lin Yanzhi, who is a very lively person. Seeing Nan Jingyou looking around, he immediately volunteered happily, "Cousin, how about I take you to visit this house?"

His father said that he should build a good relationship with this cousin.

Moreover, he himself had a good impression of this cousin and thought that he was suitable to be a good friend or a good buddy.

Unlike his brother, who always says he is stupid, even though he is obviously very smart.

He decided that he wanted to find a new big brother. Whoever wanted to take that stinky-faced brother could take him.

He doesn't want it anyway.

Looking at the cousin in front of him with red lips and white teeth, Nan Jingyou smiled and replied: "Okay, then thank you, cousin Yanzhi."

"You're welcome, cousin." Lin Yanzhi showed a row of white and neat teeth, especially the two rabbit teeth in front, which made him look silly and cute.

Nan Jingyou burst out laughing. How come he didn’t realize that his cousin was so cute at the party?

Lin Ruohua was also very pleased to see that her son got along well with Lin Yan.

Naturally, he was very happy for his son to be close to the Lin family, as this would mean that he would have a stronger sense of belonging to the Lin family.

After saying hello to Lin Ruhua, Lin Yanzhi pulled Nan Jingyou to run to another courtyard.

Before leaving, he was warned by his eldest brother to remember his limits and not to be too playful and lead his cousin Nan Jingyou astray.

Lin Yanzhi agreed with a smile on his face, but in the blink of an eye, he made a grimace when his brother couldn't see him.

You Che also followed behind the two of them, but looking at the claw that was pulling his young master's sleeve, he really wanted to chop it with a knife.

Lin Yanzhi shook his shoulders and suddenly felt a chill on his back.

When he looked back, a pair of deep eyes met his gaze, and he was so scared that he immediately let go of Nan Jingyou's sleeve.

After turning around silently, he pouted and complained: Purple eyes, so scary.

Nan Jingyou knew nothing about the confrontation between the two.

Although Lin Yanzhi was playful, he generally knew his limits when it came to serious matters. He took Nan Jingyou to visit each courtyard in a well-behaved and hardworking manner.

"Cousin, let me take you to see that yard. It is said that it was specially renovated by our ancestor for a concubine. It is the best yard among the women in the backyard." Lin Yanzhi pointed to the yard in front.

Nan Jingyou hummed, thinking that his ancestor was actually a man who favored his concubine over his wife.
