It was already dark at this time.
The ancestral hall is in a quiet place, and few people come here. On weekdays, only dedicated personnel come to clean it during the day, and it is cleaned once every two days. With the numerous memorial tablets, it becomes even more eerie.
At this time, even if the sound of the door is very slight, it is like a loud bell and a huge drum.
Zhao Xuan, who was already asleep, suddenly sat up from the futon.
When he saw the half-open door, his expression changed slightly. He remembered clearly that he had closed the door on purpose because he wanted to be lazy and sleep.
If the door is not closed and the lock on the courtyard door is opened, one can see from the courtyard door whether he is kneeling down to repent and reflect on his mistakes.
But once the door is closed, unless he reaches the door, he can be lazy as much as he wants.
But now, the courtyard door has not moved, but this door has opened.
There was no one else in this yard except him, who knelt down at night and thought about it.
This made Zhao Xuan sweat unconsciously on his forehead.
He looked at the door in fear and shouted: "Who?"
Mu Qingyu on the roof looked very calm. She calmly looked at a figure behind a tree in the yard.
Zhao Xu'an wiped the sweat from his forehead and hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether to go out and take a look, or to close the door tightly and let the memorial tablets of his ancestors protect him.
After a moment of stalemate, the figure behind the tree suddenly let out a chuckle.
When Zhao Xu'an heard this laughter, his little eyes that had been too scared to move suddenly became alive. He opened the door, his eyes fell on the figure behind the tree, and said: "Senior Sun's joke is not funny at all.
What's the point of scaring me like this?"
The figure walked out from behind the tree, looking proud, neither humble nor arrogant, looking like a master.
He showed a smile and said: "The eldest son has thought too much. I am not here to scare the eldest son. I am just looking at the eldest son's courage. Now it seems that the eldest son is really brave!"
These words successfully calmed Zhao Xuan's mood, and his originally angry heart was replaced by a trace of pride.
He said: "Senior Sun, my father intends to choose one of the second and third sons to inherit the title. He wants to put me aside. What can you do?"
The two of them were standing in this courtyard talking without fear of others listening, so they didn't have room to lower their voices.
The man was a man in his thirties, with a fair face and no beard, wearing a light brown robe, with one hand behind his back, looking confident.
He said: "Didn't the eldest son already take action? As long as the uncle gets into trouble and the eldest son can help him solve it easily, he will definitely value the eldest son again. The title will not fall to others, eldest son, please relax!"
Zhao Xu'an looked around and lowered his voice this time: "Senior Sun, is Pei Ji really dead? Is your poison really that effective?"
The man in brown robe glanced at him: "Don't worry, he won't die! Even if he dies, you don't have to be afraid, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"But he's really dead. Didn't my father get into trouble? If it gets serious, my father may not even be able to keep his title, let alone if it falls on me!"
From these words, it can be seen that Zhao Xu'an is not completely stupid.
The brown-robed man sneered lightly and said, "The eldest son is so forward-thinking and hesitant. Does this mean he doesn't trust Sun?"
"Believe it, believe it, of course I believe it, otherwise, how could I listen to what Senior Sun said!" Zhao Xu'an said hurriedly: "I just don't know what I'm saying, so I don't mean to ask more."
"Okay, Sun is here to remind the eldest son. The eldest son just pretends not to know about this matter. Sun will arrange the next thing!"
Zhao Xu'an couldn't help but ask: "Senior Sun, Old Man Pei is already buried in the soil. He is old and disabled. He will live for another three to five years at most. Once he dies, the mansion will be recycled and resold. Why are you like this?"
Anxious?"
"The nights are long and the dreams are many!" said the man in brown robe: "I have taken my fancy to that place, so of course I will get it sooner rather than later!"
"Although the Weiwu Marquis Mansion is good, there are already many such mansions in the capital. Why do we need a place where we can no longer inherit our descendants? How unlucky is it?"
The man in brown robe said calmly: "If you like it, you just like it. Why do you care so much?"
He glanced at Zhao Xu'an and actually wanted to get something out of him, hum!
Zhao Xu'an didn't dare to ask any more questions and said with a smile: "I wish Senior Sun that all your wishes will come true!"
The man in brown robe took out a small bottle and said to Zhao Xuan: "It is colorless and odorless, slow and has no trace. If you are afraid of someone, put it in his drinking water, and it only takes three times, and he will be terminally ill in a few months!"
Zhao Xu'an was overjoyed and took it with both hands, carefully.
The man in brown robe glanced at him, walked to the courtyard wall, stepped a little, and then rushed out from the courtyard wall.
Although this is the wall of the inner courtyard, it is still more than five feet high. This hand made Zhao Xu'an swallow his saliva. Looking at the vial in his hand, he felt like he had found a treasure, and there was a smile between his brows and eyes!
His two younger brothers used to know how to restrain themselves. During this period, they frequently made small tricks to sell themselves in front of their father. Isn't it just for the title? Otherwise, why would his father scold him today?
In this case, don't blame him for being cruel!
He returned to the ancestral hall and reviewed what he had done today.
Zhao Xitai decided to visit Pei Ji the day before yesterday. After all, he went there with the intention of showing goodwill, so he was very careful about the gifts. He also asked the old housekeeper for his opinion, and finally decided that the gifts should be elegant, and that the bonsai should be elegant.
He bought it for five hundred taels of silver half a month ago.
He couldn't put it down, but when his father asked him for it, he didn't dare to refuse.
That screen is from the warehouse in the mansion and is worth nearly four to five hundred taels.
These two gifts are quite valuable for people who have not interacted with each other for many years.
He met Sun Younian a year ago. He was a dandy who was generous with his gifts and enjoyed being sought after by others. People around him often tried to please him. But Sun Younian was a capable person.
He competed with a noble son for a brothel girl, but failed to win. He was so angry that he cursed in the room. When Sun Younian found out, he just smiled and said: "Why should you be angry with someone who can only live for three months?"
?"
Zhao Xu'an thought this was quite nonsense. That noble son was as strong as an ox and could only live for three months? How is that possible?
But it is really possible that in the second month, I heard that the man was too sick to get out of bed, and he died before the third month!
Another time, he was fighting on the street with a noble boy who he usually did not deal with. They were both playboys and loved to show off their courage and fight fiercely. However, he led few people while the other party led many people, so he could not win the fight.
The angry Zhao Xu'an cursed fiercely after returning home, and it was Sun Younian who said to him: "It's not easy for the young master to vent his anger. I guarantee that within ten days, that person will come to the young master to beg for mercy!"
I don’t know how Sun Younian did it. On the fifth day, the man’s face was covered with pustules and blisters, and he was carried to apologize to him!
