[Old Nine Gates] The concubine is polite

On the day of the girl's burial, Li Yan got up very early, changed into the black dress she had prepared earlier, and then helped Zhang Qishan who got up together to put on the white suit.When I went down to the restaurant on the first floor to eat, I was surprised to find that there was another person who got up earlier than me and had already eaten most of the bowl of rice.

"Why did you get up so early? Did you not sleep well last night?" Li Yan was the first to say hello, and sat down at the dining table with a smile to prepare for dinner.

Yin Xinyue hurriedly picked up two mouthfuls of food before replying: "Yesterday you took my shift, so I took the opportunity to sleep all day, I thought I would just sleep like this until this morning, but I woke up in the middle of the night, and I was always in high spirits until now."

"It seems that you shouldn't be allowed to rest. You are born to work hard." Li Yan used to be a nine-to-five office worker. He went to work every day from one to five on weekdays. Because of the biological clock, no matter how late it is on Friday night, I will wake up automatically on Saturday, without any room for negotiation. Even if I lie back to sleep and go back to sleep, I still feel that I didn’t enjoy my sleep.

"Isn't it just hard work? I woke up in the middle of the night and everyone fell asleep. I was so bored that I didn't know what to do. Think about it. I'm afraid I will scare others, so I don't want to get up. I'm lying on the bed and I'm bored. In the end, I tossed and tumbled for more than half an hour, and finally couldn't bear the roar of my stomach. I woke up Xiaokui and prepared a bowl of noodles for me to satisfy my hunger. Sister, please help me to see if I am sick again. Fat? I'm really worried that if I continue to be so fat, I won't be able to get married and I'll have to rely on your family." Yin Xinyue secretly pinched the soft flesh around her waist, and found that it was getting more and more tactile. She was crying secretly, unable to control it. The mouth, the fat that can't get rid of.

"What's wrong with being fat? Fat is a blessing, okay? Sister, you can rest assured that you are fat and have a sister to accompany you. It's a big deal. In the future, we will form a double-fat daughter combination of the Republic of China. Maybe we can lead a trend of Tang style. Let future generations see what it means to be worth a thousand gold, and to be even fatter than a thousand gold."

"Pfft." The spoonful of porridge that Yin Xinyue had just swallowed sprayed out.

"..." Zhang Qishan secretly rejoiced that he likes to eat Western-style breakfast, because the coffee is brewed slowly and has not been served yet.

"Hey, cherish food, don't waste it if you don't want to eat it. When you spray a table of rice like this, not only the uncle of the farmer who planted the rice will cry, but look behind us, the servants standing waiting to collect the table, now I guess I'm secretly wiping away tears."

As if in order to cooperate with his wife's words, the maids standing aside took out their handkerchiefs and wiped their tears in unison.

"Sister, you have brought your servants into ruin. One by one, you know that you will unite to bully me." Yin Xinyue asked the servants to help replace the one in her hand, and brought another vegetable bun with soy milk breakfast.

"Beating is kissing and scolding is love. It's strange not to fight or scold."

Yin Xinyue was amused by Li Yan's nonsensical reasoning: "So, if we find time, we have to fight again, to prove that our two sisters are deeply in love?"

"If Xinyue fights Ayan, it is estimated that nine out of ten will lose." Seeing what the two said was interesting, Zhang Qishan also joined the chatting camp.

"What? Does my sister know martial arts?" Yin Xinyue was surprised. Li Yan looked at the virtuous and virtuous wife of a rich family, but it really didn't look like she had martial arts.

"My family is a family of tomb robbers. In order to select excellent heirs in the family, we, regardless of gender, have to learn from adults to distinguish antiques and rares since we were young. When we grow up, we have to go to the tomb with the best hands in the family. .Maybe for others, the coming-of-age ceremony is just a baptism ceremony, but for us, it is a coming-of-age ceremony that needs to go to the grave independently to obtain the items designated by the family."

Yin Xinyue said with emotion: "I never imagined that the Jiumen family would cultivate descendants in this way. No wonder every head of the Jiumen family is extremely capable."

Li Yanwan smiled: "But it's not always the case. Although the Nine Schools are all like this, there are exceptions."

"How do you say it?" Yin Xinyue's eyes lit up, her voice was obviously gossipy.

"The Nine Gates have a rule. If someone can completely destroy one of the gates, they can replace it and become a member of the Nine Gates."

"Is there such a rule? I always thought that the members of the nine sects are extremely united. If one sect is in trouble, the other eight sects will help." Yin Xinyue said that her three views have been refreshed.

"It is true that everyone's interests are involved, but if it only involves individuals, the Nine Gates may not be so united. After all, the Nine Gates have always believed that the capable should live there, and the world of the weak and the strong prey on the natural in the Nine Gates. It's the same."

The Changsha Old Nine Gates are actually divided into: the upper three gates, the flat three gates and the lower three gates. (It is equivalent to an industrial chain of professional archaeologists, tomb robbers who have gone down the hills, and businessmen selling stolen goods in the tomb robbery link.) The next three gates and the three peace gates are closely related to each other (for example, the Wu family and the Xie family were in-laws later), while The upper three doors and the lower three doors have relatively few contacts because of no interest.

The upper three sects are officials, and the military masters and opera singers of the crutches (Zhang Qishan, Er Yuehong, and Banjie Li) are all well-to-do old families, and their official identities have probably been bleached. It is huge, and it mainly depends on its own buddies.The three old masters of Shangsanmen were all well-known veterans. They were uncompromising figures in the Tao at that time, and their family power was comparable to that of small warlords.

If it is said that most of the legends of Shangsanmen are famous names, good names or gossip in the market, most of the legends of Pingsanmen are notorious.Ping Sanmen is the grave robber in the "industrial chain".Yan Luo's prodigal son Smiling Buddha (the original fourth master was later replaced by Chen Pi, Wu Laogou, black-backed sixth son), is the main force in organizing tomb robbers. Most of them fight alone, with at most a few apprentices.These people are relatively young, and they are very greedy. They will do anything by killing and looting goods. Their reputation is earned by fighting, without any worries.

The three schools are merchants, and the beauties are good at chess (Huo Jinxi, Qi Tiezui, Xie Jiuye). They are all merchants who have already relied on antique dealers. They mainly focus on reselling. It is one with fewer stories.

"According to what my sister said, which of the nine gates is the most dangerous?" Yin Xinyue quickly sifted through the news about the nine gates she had heard recently. ? In terms of force, he must be the best bully."

"Eighth Master Qi is under the care of our Buddha, how can he be easily bullied?" Li Yan said, looking in the direction of Master Zhang, Zhang Qishan covered his mouth and coughed, buried his head and pretended to concentrate on eating.

Yin Xinyue thumped her hands and said excitedly: "Oh, yes, I've heard of this too. It seems that Ba Ye Qi was kidnapped by some Japanese gymnasium back then. When he heard the news, the Buddha was furious and became a beauty. One person single-handedly singled out the entire Gymnasium, and killed that one so that blood flowed like a river, leaving no one behind..."

"Cough, it's nothing like that, don't believe rumors in the market." Zhang Qishan raised his head and reminded embarrassingly, when did he become so cruel and bloody?

"Is it a rumor, is it impossible? I have confirmed this story with Baye Qi himself. He himself admitted that there is such a thing. He also said that if it wasn't for your life-saving grace back then, it wouldn't be like this now." Poorly, I accompanied you to heaven and earth." Yin Xinyue stared wide-eyed, making it clear that she didn't believe Zhang Qishan's refusal.

"Haha, there is indeed such a thing. This is what happened when the Buddha first arrived in Changsha. Thinking back to when I heard the news at home, I sighed, why did Baye Qi become a boy?" Well, otherwise, this bloodbath in the gymnasium would not be inferior to the second master's original hero who saved the beauty."

Mentioning the second master, I couldn't help but think that today is the day of the girl's burial, the three of them lost interest in chatting and laughing, hurriedly finished their meal, and went out together to the second master's mansion.

I didn't feel it in the mansion, but when I went out, I found that the sky outside was dark and gloomy, as if it was going to rain at any moment.The three of them got out of the car one after another, and walked to the gate of the Red Mansion. They happened to meet Er Yuehong and his servants who were carrying the girl's coffin, and walked over slowly.

For the funeral ceremony of the dead, the clothes are either black or white, but Er Yuehong is uncharacteristically wearing a red dress. She looks devastated, but she has a smile on her mouth, which is weird.

Zhang Qishan stretched out his hand, pulled Li Yan and the two back to the side, and silently watched the funeral procession slowly pass by.

Two people held baskets and scattered paper money to clear the way, Er Yuehong stood in the middle to lead the way, and 12 people behind him carried a heavy black coffin. Such a simple funeral procession made everyone present feel the feeling of "weeping and sending off his wife, nothing to mourn." Heart to death" helpless sigh.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and it was Yin Xinyue who spoke first: "Let's go, let's go to the funeral banquet. The housekeeper and Taohua have followed to the grave of the Red Mansion. The funeral banquet is not decent if there is no one to host it." , at least go and see how the dishes are prepared.”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Qishan and asked, "Shall Buddha go back to the barracks now?"

"Let's go back to the barracks first, and then go to the restaurant before the noon banquet."

Li Yan nodded: "Then Buddha, remember to come early at noon, the second master doesn't seem to care about it, but there are quite a lot of guests, so we still need Buddha to help host the scene."

"Okay, I will arrive early, then you and Xinyue go there first, you have worked hard these few days." Zhang Qishan raised his hand and brushed away a few scattered hairs on Li Yan's forehead, his eyes were comforted and relieved.

"It's not hard, you go early and come back early." Li Yan pushed Zhang Qishan, indicating that she wanted to watch him go first.

"Xinyue will take care of Ayan for me, please." Before Zhang Qishan got into the car, he turned around and warned.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, this matter is on my shoulders." Yin Xinyue patted her chest readily, taking care of her own sister, it was her duty to do so.

"It's rare to hear you call me brother-in-law. I'm really not used to it." Zhang Qishan smiled, and finally left with peace of mind.

"Then sister, let's go too. Fortunately, there is still a car in Hongfu, otherwise it will be troublesome." Yin Xinyue pulled Li Yan, who was watching the direction of Buddha's departure, and whispered to remind the two of them that they still have tasks. .

"Xinyue." Li Yan put her hand on Yin Xinyue's arm, paused before continuing: "I'll leave the banquet to you, I may have to go to the Hong family's ancestral grave."

"Why? There are already so many people over there. Elder sister, you can stay and help me. Besides, the tomb is gloomy. It is inappropriate for you to go there when you are pregnant." Yin Xinyue didn't understand why Li Yan suddenly raised such a question. Asked, she coquettishly pulled Li Yan and shook her but she didn't want to agree.

"Second Master, I'm afraid he still has the will to die. He never gave up the idea of ​​following the girl." Li Yan frowned, recalling the scene she had just seen.

Yin Xinyue was startled: "How could it be? He, he has been spending his days and nights like this these days, drunk and dreaming, how could he not think about it?"

"I felt something was wrong with the appearance of the second master today, so I subconsciously stared at him all the time. When the second master passed by us, I saw the second master looked at the sky and said a few words silently."

"What?"

"It seems to be 'Girl, don't you want me to live with a smile? I listen to you', and there is..." Although Li Yan didn't see him speak again, the meaning in his eyes, Li Yan can't lie to himself can't read.

"What is it? Sister, tell me quickly." Listening to Li Yan's words, Yin Xinyue also had a bad feeling in her heart.

"I don't understand, but it's very likely that it's the words 'Girl, go ahead, wait for me'."

"This obviously means that you are going to go with the girl. No, sister, hurry up and follow. I'm worried that the housekeeper and the others won't be able to stop the second master." Seeing the urgency of the situation, this time it was Yin Xinyue who was urging Li Yan. let's go.

"Didn't you just say that there are not enough people at the restaurant to let me go? Besides, the tomb is so gloomy." Li Yan looked at Yin Xinyue who was pushing her away with some amusement.

"It's okay, the big deal at the restaurant is, I'll have someone call Erya to help me. She is your right-hand man. With her here, things will be done properly."

"Then I'm still pregnant with a child, how inappropriate to go there..." Li Yan thought about it, and felt really sorry for her precious son, who had been running around with him since he was a child.

"Hey, life is at stake sister, you still have the mind to joke?" Yin Xinyue was anxious, "Buddha has no taboos, as his wife, how could you care about such nonsense? What's more, you are from a family of tomb robbers." Later generations, these tombs and the like, they are more or less afraid of you."

"Well, it seems that I can only take my son to familiarize myself with the Feng Shui of the tomb in advance."

Li Yan Small Theater:

On the so-called family origin:

Li Yan (holding a heart): Son, why can't you solve such a simple tomb mechanism?Mother really taught you for so long in vain, mother is so sad.

Ancestor Zhang (frowning): Hey, I clearly remember that it was untied like this, why can't it work?

Li Yan (laughing): Can you do it?If you can't, just admit defeat and waste your mother taking you to learn Fengshui in the tomb when she was pregnant with you.

Ancestor Zhang (disgusted by his mother with tears in his eyes): I am only three and a half years old, and Qi’s godfather said that I am talented and intelligent. Mother, please give me some time to study, I will definitely solve it!

Erya, who couldn't stand it anymore, reminded her cheated young master in a low voice: This is an unsolvable mechanism, the wife has already blocked the tomb, not to mention the door, there is not even a crack.

Zhang Xiaozu suddenly realized, turned his head to look at the seat next to him, and found that the seat was empty!

Taking a closer look, it turned out that the mother who cheated her son had already escaped happily.
