The next day.

It was just dawn, but there was already smoke curling up everywhere, and it was a busy scene.

When Xie Yunxi was dragged up from the bed by Huaiyuan, she was still dazed. After a cold towel was applied to her face, she regained consciousness a lot, but she was still breathing heavily just looking at it.

After leaving the room, the candles in each room are brightly lit, and the servants who come and go are in a hurry, performing their duties to prepare various things for worshiping the ancestors.

The chef in Xie's house was steaming glutinous rice and cooking all kinds of delicacies, so he had no time to make breakfast.

Fortunately, all the courtyards have their own small kitchens. Xie Yunxi walked to the small kitchen and blew on the air all the way, but he was refreshed. When he smelled the smell of fireworks in the kitchen, the unpleasant feeling of getting up early disappeared.

The busiest part of the ancestor worship was the half day in the morning. Xie Yunxi didn't dare to toss about time-consuming food. He warmed up the soup earlier last night. It is most convenient and quick to make a few bowls of Yangchun white noodles at this moment.

It's just that it's easy to get hungry just eating noodles, Xie Yunxi thought about it, and made some fried rice cakes with the ready-made rice.

Mix white rice with some diced vegetables, add egg liquid and stir, put in the oil pan and shape into a round shape.After it comes out of the pot, it is the most crispy and delicious when you bite it. It also complements each other when eaten with the refreshing and smooth Yangchun noodles, and it is quite hungry.

Waiting for Xie's old snack to eat this delicious breakfast, he is full of energy and vitality.

After breakfast, everyone went back to the house to change their clothes, and made some busy preparations. When the sun rose and the sky and earth were bright, all members of the Xie family, old and young, gathered in the ancestral hall.

"Boom-"

The bell rang, and the salute sang, "Open the ancestral hall, hold the sacrificial ceremony..."

Kowtow three times and worship nine times, offering sacrifices to the ancestors and burning incense to comfort the ancestors.

After all the etiquette, everyone was sweating profusely and exhausted.Fortunately, the elderly and children only need to finish the formal ceremony before they can rest, otherwise, after this routine, it is estimated that many people will be exhausted.

As a young man, Xie Yunxi is in good health, so naturally he has to go through the ceremony.

After half a day, Xie Yunxi was very tired. As soon as he entered the house, his upright back collapsed in an instant. When he took off his shoes and got on the couch, he was too lazy to stand. He scrambled and moved into the hall.

Close to the indoor ice, he stopped, stretched his hands and feet, and lay on the bed in a large font, vowing to express the "lying corpse state" vividly.

One front and one back, the time difference between the two feet.

Xie Wenqing took a step in the evening, and when he came in, he saw Xie Yunxi's "lying corpse", and immediately his temples throbbed with anger.

"Just now I wanted to praise you for your good performance today, but why did you...be so out of shape as soon as you came back."

Before entering the door, he was still a well-groomed and graceful gentleman from an aristocratic family, but when the concierge stepped across, his true colors were revealed in a blink of an eye.

"Hey, tell me about you, ask Brother Wei to tell you what's good about you, get up quickly, how decent it is."

system?

This can be used as a meal or as a sleep.

Xie Yunxi will be tired, sleepy and hot, listening to his elder brother's preaching words as always, she can't even lift her head lazily, "Brother, tired~"

Looking at my lazy, unattractive younger brother—hey, who on earth is this guy so used to this kind of virtue? It's really annoying.

Xie Wenqing stepped forward and shook Xie Yunxi angrily, "Wake up, at least you go back to your room and lie down, it's only a few steps away."

Xie Yunxi remained indifferent, only hearing the word "Jibulu", she finally raised her eyes, and said, "Brother, do you have any misunderstanding about Jibulu?"

How big is the mansion of Xie's family? From the front hall to the bedroom in the backyard, how many corridors and courtyards can you pass by? How many steps can you walk there?

Let alone a few steps, even one step, he didn't want to move anymore—closed his eyes, shut his mouth, buried his head, pretending to be a quail.

Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water.

Xie Wenqing looked at it, really angry, but seeing the tiredness between his brows, his heart softened, "Hey, forget it, you made breakfast early in the morning, It’s really hard work.”

Huaiyuan and Ah Qi were instructing other servants to add ice to the front hall, when they entered the room, they heard their boss making excuses to go down the steps, his conniving expression remained the same as before, not a bit changed.

The two book boys were not surprised, but still couldn't help complaining.

Obviously when he first came in, he was serious and spoke righteously.

In the end, they just picked up the ice and lifted it up like this, and put it down gently—hey, it's really not easy for Mr. Sanlang not to be pampered into a lawless second-generation ancestor.

I don't know what the hell is this inexplicable happiness?

Putting the ice into the cold box, the cold air curled up, and the heat in the hall dissipated a lot. Xie Yunxi sighed comfortably, but she was even more reluctant to move.

Xie Wenqing had nothing to do with him, so he just turned a blind eye and let him go, and he was also very tired this time, and he really didn't want to get up after sitting down, so he thought about waiting for the sweat to settle before getting up and going back to the room.

The two brothers just sat and drank tea one by one, and had a rest in the hall pretending to be dead while the other was "lying dead", it was very harmonious.

At this time, the sun was shining outside, and the wind brought the heater to blow over the copper bell on the door, and the copper bell on the door rang softly. On both sides of the door beam, wormwood was hanging, and the mosquitoes were scattered. It was a rare peace and tranquility.

While half asleep and half awake, Xie Yunxi just smelled Aixiang bursting out, and Xie Yunxi fell into a dream, as if she had returned to her childhood in the previous life.

It was so hot at that time, but it was the Dragon Boat Festival. Farmers picked mugwort leaves everywhere, steamed rice dumplings, and the magnificent scene of dragon boats competing for crossing was broadcast on TV.

However, there is no such thing as Dragon Boat Festival during the summer solstice, but I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or God’s will. Although there is no Dragon Boat Festival and rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves, there are customs of hanging wormwood, wearing wormwood sachets, eating glutinous rice, and offering sacrifices to ancestors.

Xie Yunxi has lived here for more than ten years, but sometimes she is still in a trance.

It is said that life is like a dream, and it should be one for one person, but he had two "dreams" alone, and he doesn't know if he "wakes up" in the future, whether he can distinguish whether he is Xie Sanlang from here, or from another time. The "Xie Yunxi" in life - no matter the past life or the present, he only has the name Xie Yunxi.

What a coincidence.

And speaking of the word "Xi" in his name, which means the sun in the morning, this name is naturally full of infinite expectations, blessings and beauty-life is like the morning sun, even if it is just a dream It must be a sweet dream.

The fragrance of mugwort, the soft ringing of copper bells, the scent of bamboo in the courtyard, the gurgling water, and the cool breeze in the hall, naturally lull people to sleep, but it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

Just as Xie Yunxi was falling asleep...

"Wow, comfortable!"

Xie Nianhua was in a hurry, came from outside, when he got close, he kicked his embroidered shoes, then stepped onto the couch and entered, avoiding the sun outside.

After that, there was only a sound of "Lying", the sound of the body falling to the ground, with vibrations, finally disturbed Xie Yunxi's "Dream Butterfly", which had ended before it even started.

Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, a butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou—ah, as a salted fish and an ordinary person, he will never be able to be "Zhuang Zhou" or "Dream Butterfly".

It's just going around people's dreams, which is always unpleasant.

Xie Yunxi opened her eyes, raised her eyelids to look at the source of the sound, and saw another "living corpse" with bad manners.

"Second sister, ha—"

He yawned sleepily, "Disturbing people's dreams, you can't take it easy, you're still a girl after all."

Tired to collapse, who cares whether he is a girl or a boy.

After Xie Nianhua paid homage to his ancestors, he was dragged by her aunt to deal with the female relatives before he had time to work and catch his breath.

At this moment, she was so tired that she didn't even bother to move her fingers. When she heard the voice of complaining, she only raised her chin slightly, "I haven't said anything about you yet. I don't have any brotherhood. I hide in the living room by myself. Working outside."

"You are full of female relatives there, why am I messing with it?" Xie Yunxi calmed down a little now, moved his hands and feet, turned over on his side, stretched his limbs on his back, and continued his "lying corpse" mode.

Xie Nianhua glanced at him, then clicked his tongue twice, talking and moving in the same laziness.

In the hall, one left and one right, a younger brother and a younger sister are all imageless "big-character corpses"——

Xie Wenqing looked at this, then stared at that, then he sighed and rubbed the center of his brows, "Can't you take a few more steps and go back to the house to rest?"

"Huh? Brother, do you have any misunderstanding about the number of steps?"

This familiar answer, this familiar scene—as expected, they are two siblings who love each other dearly.

Xie Wenqing was tired and didn't want to say anything anymore. After another long sigh, she held herself upright like him, and leaned her body back. With a sound of "dong--", she lay on her back on the couch, unwilling to move and look again.

——Forget it, this is the way it is for the generation of the Xie family, besides, no outsiders have seen it, so it's okay to lie down one more or one less.

——Well, actually lying down is quite comfortable.

When Xie Yunxi and Xie Nianhua heard the movement, they reacted for a while, and then looked up at Xie Wenqing in disbelief. Sure enough, seeing him lying on the couch with nothing to love, they looked at each other for a moment.

quite a while.

"Brother, are you sick?"

"Brother, you won't become ill from exhaustion, will your brain be broken?"

Xie Wenqing had just calmed down, and now when he heard the two of them talk, his forehead started to jump again - all of them, sisters and brothers, opened their mouths without a good word, "If you quarrel, get out of here Go to the bedroom!"

Look at this annoyed man, he turned around and added, "Let's deduct the summer ice for this day."

Xie Yunxi and Xie Nianhua both shut up, put their heads down, and continued to be their "salted fish mummy" - it's not good to lie down and enjoy the cool breeze, if you have to get up and walk, just thinking about it makes you panic.

Forget it, just shut up, close your eyes, and continue to rest peacefully!

This rest is like falling asleep soundly, with bursts of snoring.

Mrs. Xie Lang and Mrs. Xie Qi came back from their work, just got into the living room, and at a glance, they saw the second girl Xie on the right, Xie Dalang and Xie Sanlang on the left.

Take a closer look--

Xie Lang raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Yo, as expected of brothers and sisters of the same family, the postures of their limbs are all exactly the same."

As the Patriarch of the Xie family, he is so old and unruly, no wonder the junior has no shape.

Mrs. Xie Wang gave her husband an angry look, then lightened her steps, and called the maid, "Go get some thin blankets."

Looking at the three of them, he couldn't help complaining, "These three children are really, just lie down and cover them with a quilt."

Xie Yanshi covered his mouth and chuckled, "It's still a child after all, look at that baby boy Xiao Wu, who can't hold back his drowsiness after the formal ceremony, he probably hasn't woken up yet, luckily it's only once a year, how often My old arms and legs can't stand it even if I toss about it for a while."

Xie Qi took the opportunity to please, "Ma'am, you are joking, you are always young, there is no such thing as old age."

As we all know, the "status" of Xie Qi's family has never been very good.

Hearing this, Xie Lang and his wife, and Xie Yan's all glanced at him. The former two disliked him for being too sloppy, while the latter disliked his sweaty body, but still leaned hard on himself——

She really doesn't have the slightest bit of vision, and the point is that she is hindered from seeing Saburo's prosperous beauty.

Tsk tsk tsk, it's rare to see Sanlang's appearance when he is asleep, ah, that handsome face, long eyelashes, tender skin, even snoring and drooling are so pretty.

"You, go, don't hinder my mother from seeing Saburo!"

Alas, Da Lang is also very good-looking and good-looking, with a handsome face, he has more taste than his second uncle when he was young, but he is too busy on weekdays, not as fun as when he was a child, but he was waxy and interesting when he was a child.

Alas, it's a pity that if you read "stupid" in reading, you will know what a gentleman is like.

"Ma'am..." Xie Qi was aggrieved, looking for a sense of existence.

However, "Oh, don't be next to my old lady, go back to the house and watch the children."

Xie Yanshi waved away his "stinky and old" husband in disgust, then lightened his steps, took the thin blanket brought by the maid, and very gently covered the three of them on the couch.

Of course, she is not in a hurry to go back to the house to rest right now, she looks left at the third nephew, then at the eldest nephew—oh, such a handsome son belongs to her family, happy, joyful, happy, and elated.

As for Xie Qi, who was disliked by the side - just get used to it, woo woo woo, just get used to it...

Xie Lang patted his second brother's shoulder sympathetically, "Second brother..."

Xie Qi thought that his elder brother had found out his conscience and came to comfort him, but it was too late to be happy—"You are getting old, you are getting old, there is nothing you can do about it, second brother, be careful."

Xie Qi's dream was broken, "Hehe, big brother, you are older than me!"

Xie Lang grinned, and patted him on the shoulder again, "At least my wife has never disliked me."

In order to deepen the effect of stabbing the knife, he immediately turned to Mrs. Xie, and said softly, "Madam, why don't I go back to the house to fix it first, and when I wake up at the old man's place, we can take care of it together."

Xie Wang reluctantly glanced at her own Sanlang's sleeping face, she didn't really want to pay attention to him, but when she heard Mrs. Xie's name, she felt that it made sense, so she turned around and said cooperatively: "Well, what my husband said Yanji is, ah, second brother, what's wrong with you, let's see why you are so sad."

She smiled intentionally, "Don't take what your elder brother said seriously, except for the statement that I didn't dislike him, everything else is just a joke."

Comforting people well, but I still want to emphasize the sentence "I don't despise him" - "Hey."

Xie Qi felt that he was really wronged. His wife disliked him, his elder brother bullied him, and his sister-in-law helped to mend the knife—hey, he really is a middle-aged man who is loved by no one.

It's miserable, it's too miserable, it's terrible-I really want to ask for comfort!

In the hall of Naihe, there are only——

Xie Nianhua turned sideways, "ZZZ..."

Xie Wenqing unconsciously kicked the quilt, "ZZZ..."

Xie Yunxi can't dream of butterflies, but—"ZZZ... delicious, tsk tsk... one more, ZZZ..."

Butterfly Zhuangzhou can’t eat it, it’s more practical for him to dream that he can eat it—well, it’s a good dream to have delicious food!

Xie Qi: "..."
