The 16th was Saturday, when the closing ceremony of the National Student Games was being held. Many families in the capital's wealthy circles took advantage of the weekend to visit Mr. He San and send Mrs. He a birthday gift in advance as a mark of respect.
Mrs. He of the He family will turn 100 on National Day. Mrs. He is both a meritorious revolutionary veteran and the widow of one of the few revolutionary heroes. The He family is also a leader in various industries and has contacts with the He family.
Naturally, you can't be rude and give a birthday gift first. The gift is not valuable, but meaningful.
As September entered, many families in Beijing visited Mr. He San one after another on the weekends. The He family was not surprised. The gifts sent by each family were all non-violating favors and they were all accepted.
Mr. and Mrs. He San, their son and nephews received visitors at home. While watching the closing ceremony of the Hangzhou Student Sports Meet, they chatted about sports. The guests of honor had a great time chatting with each other.
Thousands of college student athletes from all over the world gathered in Hangzhou waved goodbye after the closing ceremony and went their separate ways. Only a few delegations were waiting to leave tomorrow. The Beijing team athletes rushed to the station, T City and H North City.
Several delegations were traveling in the same direction, traveling together.
In order to provide convenience for athletes in the National Games and Student Games, as well as sports fans and athletes who come to watch, the railway department has temporarily added a few more trains or added carriages on some of the busiest railway lines to meet people's travel needs.
So you don’t have to worry about not being able to buy a ticket.
Classmate Le gave all the trophies and other things to her handsome brother and Coach Ou to help bring them back to Beijing. She and handsome boy Yan went to Si's house as guests.
Xin Wushao and his family watched every day's competition during the competition. They felt that it was natural for the little beauty to achieve good results. If the Immortal Doctor did not get first place in the competition, wouldn't it be a loss of reputation?
Just like people from the Guxiu and Guwu families, if they become athletes, they must be the best. Under normal circumstances, the direct descendants of the ancient families will not become professional athletes unless they really like a certain sport too much.
Give up spiritual practice and become an athlete;
Many of the side branches or concubine branches of the old aristocratic families have had professional athletes, and almost all of them have won awards in international competitions. After retirement, they will wither away like ordinary people.
The Si family sent a total of five cars to pick up little girl Le. Young Master Xin sat in the back seat with his sister-in-law and Young Master Yan. The Si family had their own special snacks and fresh seasonal fruits. Classmate Le held the bag of snacks and ate them all the way.
The little beauty was so willful that she happily ate snacks, which made Xin Wushao and the bodyguards very happy.
The Si surname has divided into many surnames, such as Yu, Xin, Fei, Xia, Ouyang, Sikong, Tan, Zou, Zeng, etc. However, the original Si surname has a small population.
The Si family has its roots in the south of the Yangtze River, and has moved and dispersed several times due to historical reasons. Later, the direct descendants still returned to the place where they lived in the south of the Yangtze River. Now they live at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain, a famous mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. They are not the well-known Si family of Dayu Village, but
A village that seems to have nothing to do with Dayu Village.
Xin Wushao and his party set out from Hangzhou and headed for Si's home in no hurry or slowness. While they were still chatting with Chao You on the way, Coach Ou and others rushed to the high-speed rail station to have lunch first, and checked in at around 12 o'clock.
, take the high-speed train to the capital at 12:50 and return to Beijing.
When the high-speed train of the beautiful boy and others departed from Hangzhou Station for Kyoto, the Si family motorcade carrying little girl Le also arrived at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain and drove onto the village road leading to the Si Family Residence Village.
Kuaiji Mountain has thousands of rocks competing for beauty, thousands of valleys contending for streams, and the misty grass and trees are as beautiful as the clouds and the azure clouds. The people of the Si family are at the foot of the mountain, leaning against the famous mountains, and the beautiful water is passing by not far away. The beautiful mountains, beautiful waters and pastoral scenery are combined.
One color.
The characteristic of Shao City's folk houses is Taimen, which is a closed and independent courtyard of a certain size. It is similar in nature to a courtyard house, and each has its own characteristics in architectural style.
The traditional residential pattern in Shao City is based on Taimen. Almost all the buildings in the Si family's residence are Taimen. Although they are not as exquisite and rich as the buildings in the famous Taimen ancient town, and not as grand and solemn as the residences of dignitaries, the architecture
Most of them are old buildings from the Zhu Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with the same brick and stone paving, looking low-key and simple.
Looking around at the entrance of the village, behind the modern buildings is a stretch of whitewashed walls and black tiles, with clean and elegant buildings standing quietly. Water flowing from a distance flows through the village, and the stone-paved alleys have a long lasting charm.
Because the roads in the village are narrow, vehicles can only travel on the main road and stop at a side road. Several young people from the Si family drove the car away. Young Master Xin led several young people to accompany Miss Le and Young Master Yan along the stone alley.
, walked through several alleys, and arrived in front of a quaint gate. The door frame of the gate had no carvings, and was only made of bluestone. However, it could not hide its sense of vastness and vicissitude.
The door under the door frame is inlaid with a copper shell and has copper nails. The copper beast holds the door knocker in its mouth. The bluestone slab of the ring platform door has been washed clean, and some jasmine and rose petals have been sprinkled, giving it a light fragrance.
Attack people.
Mr. Xin Wushao accompanied the two distant guests just outside the gate of Datai. The heavy door slowly opened from the inside. There were two rows of young scholars in their twenties on the patio inside the door. Two young men holding Buddha dust in their hands were opening the door.
, a bookish middle-aged man in his forties wearing martial arts uniforms stood with a smile to welcome the guests.
The two young people who pushed the door open lightly returned to the queue of young people. There were twelve people on each side, no more, no less, twenty-four in total, holding Buddha dust, brooms, water bowls, flower baskets, incense burners, and Ruyi respectively.
When the door opened, Leyun scanned the people in the courtyard and was surprised when she saw the welcoming formation. Is it really okay for the Si family to arrange such a high-standard ceremony?
Because he was visiting an ancient aristocratic family, Yan Xing did not wear sunglasses. He stood on the left hand side of Xiaoluo. When he saw the Si family's formation, his eyebrows trembled slightly. The Si family's welcome was very grand.
"Little beauty, Young Master Yan, my uncle Si Hanfeng is here to greet you. Please come in." The family door opened, and Fifth Young Master Xin asked the two distant guests to move forward.
It is customary for guests to do as they please, but Le Yun did not show any politeness. She walked up to the front door of Si's house, stepped on the petals and climbed the steps to the door frame of the front door. She raised her right foot first and entered the threshold.
The young master accompanied the guests as they walked in. Young scholars inside the door sprinkled water in front of them, swept the ground with brooms and sprinkled flower petals.
When the door opened wide, Si Hanfeng had already walked out to welcome him. Seeing his nephew accompanying the guests across the threshold, he took two quick steps to greet the two distant guests again, and clasped his fists cheerfully: "Little beauty and Mr. Yan have come all the way from the Si family.
I feel deeply uneasy that I was unable to leave the village to greet you. Si Hanfeng, on behalf of the whole family, would like to welcome these two distinguished guests here."
"Sir, you're so polite. I'm sorry for disturbing you." Yan Xing politely bowed his fists.
"Senior, you are very polite. Young Master Si welcomed you nearly eighty miles away. This junior is flattered." Le Yun returned the courtesy, and Shi Xuanran met with the person in charge of the Si family's welcome.
"Young lady is too modest, please come in quickly. My elders have been waiting in the atrium for a long time." Si Hanfeng smiled and asked the two young guests to go inside.
The young people from the Si family trotted forward first, sprinkling water, sweeping the floor and scattering flower petals.
When his uncle came, Si Xian gave up his seat decisively and went to the left side of Young Master Yan to accompany Young Master Yan. His uncle personally entertained the little beauty and helped the young lady and Young Master Yan. The young man carrying the backpack of Young Master Five followed behind.
After passing the second entrance door, six middle-aged and elderly people greeted them inside. After the third entrance, another six people came. After the fourth entrance, four people greeted each other at the entrance patio. This time they invited the guests in.
East Wing Hall.
The Si family's terrace gate leads into seven courtyards, and there are also seven courtyards on the left and right sides. The fourth courtyard in the central courtyard is the atrium, which is also the most noble. The three courtyards at the back belong to the backyard, which is the private living area of the Si family.
There are also two elders and one middle-aged man in the east side room. The other has white eyebrows and white hair. He is holding a crutch with a black unicorn head. He is wearing a blue floral short coat, wide trousers and round-mouthed cloth shoes. He is the predecessor of the Si family.
Si Yujiang;
The person supporting the old patriarch is Si Chunfeng, the current head of the Si family. On the other side of the old patriarch is Si Yuanmao, the previous head of the Si family. He looks about seventy years old and is also walking with a crimson cane.
There were several middle-aged men standing outside the main hall in the east chamber. They were all reserved and ordinary-looking.
The head of the Si family accompanied the first two elders to wait for each other in the main hall of the east chamber. They heard the footsteps approaching from far away. Judging from the footsteps, it can be seen that Young Master Yan’s footsteps were steady. When he landed, the forefoot was slightly heavier than the heel. The little girl from the Immortal Medicine Sect
His steps are light and his steps are even.
Si Hanfeng and the clan elders accompanied the two young guests along the corridor to the main hall of the east wing and first bowed to them. However, Le Xiaoxiao glanced at the eight gate gods outside the door with a flat look, and stood on the left hand side of the door from right to left.
A seemingly middle-aged man who was counting handed over his hand and said: "If this junior is not mistaken, this senior must be the only remaining senior Si Meinuan among the Mei generation of the Si family."
What?
Young Master Xin was confused by the little beauty's inexplicable words. Is his great-great-grandfather playing disguise again?
The three people in the main hall: "..." Embarrassed, the ancestor is playing a guessing game to amuse children again?
After the disguise was discovered, Si Meinuan laughed and stepped out calmly: "Little girl, you have good eyesight. When I go through the family like this, almost no one can see through it, but you can tell the real thing from the fake at a glance."
"Your old man's disguise skills are superb, and it must be difficult for ordinary people to tell whether they are real or fake. However, this junior is born with a sensitive nose and can smell the smell of disguise medicine." Le Yun blinked meaningfully and stretched out her hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Please, please."
"
Everyone in the Si family sighed silently, and Si Xian reached out to help his great-great-grandfather with great sadness: "Old ancestor, you are always teasing your grandsons. If you continue like this, sooner or later, you will scare your grandsons to death."
"Our A-Xian is so brave that he can't be scared to death," Si Meinuan casually put her hand on her grandson's hand and walked up to the little girl who looked like a little white rabbit. She wanted to touch her beard, but she only touched the bare one.
He raised his chin and asked with interest: "Little girl, guess how old I am?"
"You used the disguise technique, so you can't see your face. Just from the skin on your arms and neck, it is estimated that you are no less than 10 years old. If you feel your pulse, I will probably know that you are old and live well."
The little girl, who looked like a little white rabbit, had bright eyes and long teeth, and a smile like the spring breeze. Simei Nuan, with gentle eyebrows, stretched out her hand to feel for her pulse: "You can touch it, I'll give you my hand."
