"I don't have an invitation, but I have a greeting card." Wu Jiu said as he took out a greeting card from Xu Zhong and handed it to the boy.
The young man lowered his head and looked at the greeting card in his hand, then nodded and said, "Okay, everyone, wait a moment, I'll go ask my master for instructions."
After saying that, the boy closed the door and disappeared behind it.
"It seems that the rules of the Xiahou family are indeed quite strict." Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and leaned against the door, his posture was leisurely and unrestrained, far from the serious and respectful look just now.
Yun Jingchu and Baili Wushang were not as relaxed as Wu Jiu, but stood respectfully behind the sword like two real followers.
After about a cup of tea, the door of Xiahou's house was opened, and the boy appeared behind the door. Along with him, there was a middle-aged man about fifty years old, who seemed to be the housekeeper.
Wu Jiu had already stood at attention when he heard footsteps coming from the door.
"Four of you, I have kept you waiting for a long time. I am the steward of the Xiahou family. My master asked me to invite you in." The man who looked like a steward bowed and said with a hint of respect.
Although he behaved very normally, Yun Jingchu still caught a hint of excitement from his eyes.
"Thank you, housekeeper, for leading the way." Dao nodded lightly, and then walked to the door first.
Wu Jiu, Baili Wushang and Yun Jingchu followed closely behind.
The housekeeper led the four people towards the mansion. Along the way, Yun Jingchu observed the scenery in the mansion and found that the mansion was just like what he saw from the outside. It was not luxurious or exquisite, but full of grandeur.
lobby.
After the butler led the four people in, he bowed to an old man with gray hair sitting on the main seat and said, "Old Master, I have brought the guests here."
"You all, please step aside." Sitting on the lower left side of the old man, a middle-aged man with a gentle and elegant expression waved his hand.
"Yes." The housekeeper responded, then waved his hand, led several servants in the room to exit the door, and then closed the door.
For a moment, only Yun Jingchu and his party were left in the room, as well as four people from Xiahou's family who were sitting on chairs.
The person sitting in the main seat is an old man with gray beard, who is naturally Xiahou Zhentian, the old man of the Xiahou family; the person sitting on the first chair to the lower left of the old man is a middle-aged man about forty years old with an elegant expression, who should be the eldest son of the Xiahou family.
Mr. Xia Houhong; sitting next to Xia Houhong is a middle-aged man who looks slightly younger and has a majestic face. He should be Xia Houjing, the second master of the Xiahou family; further down, sitting on the third chair, is a
The young man who is less than thirty years old and has a handsome and charming face should be Xiahou An, the third master of the Xiahou family.
Yun Jingchu and the four of them already knew everything about the Xiahou family before they came.
Xiahou Zhentian, the old man of Xiahou, only married one wife in his life and gave birth to three sons and one daughter. The three sons are Xiahouhong, Xiahoujing and Xiahouan who are here now. The first daughter is Xiahoulan, the mother of Dao. Xiahouhong and Xiahoujing are both better than each other.
Xia Houlan is the elder, while Xiahouan is the middle-aged son of the old man Xiahou. He is more than ten years younger than Xiahoulan, so he is not yet thirty years old.
Therefore, Yun Jingchu could naturally guess the identities of the four people without any obstacles.
At this time, Mr. Xiahou and his three sons were staring at the knife standing at the front, with excitement, exploration and suspicion hidden in their eyes.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit stagnant.
"Do you want to see me?" In this stagnant atmosphere, Mr. Xiahou said in a deep voice, while looking at the knife with a majestic look.
