Chapter 717 Testing

The 16th is Saturday. When the National Student Games is holding its closing ceremony, many families in the capital’s wealthy circles take advantage of the weekend to visit Mr. He San and send gifts to Mrs. He in advance. A birthday gift to show respect.

Mrs. He of the He family will turn 100 on National Day. Mrs. He is not only a meritorious revolutionary veteran, but also the widow of one of the few revolutionary heroes. The He family is also a leader in various industries. For those who have contact with the He family, they must not be rude. They must first send a birthday gift. The gift is not valuable, but meaningful.

As September entered, many families in Beijing visited Mr. He San on weekends one after another. The He family was not surprised. All the gifts sent by each family were 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 who gathered in Hangzhou from all over the world 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 catch up. Heading to the station, several delegations from T City and H North City were traveling in the same direction.

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 scene, the railway department has temporarily added a few more trains or added more trains on some of the busiest railway lines. carriages to meet people's travel needs, so they are not afraid of not being able to buy tickets.

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.

Mr. Xin Wushao and his family watched the daily competitions 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 he be weak? title?

Just like people from the ancient Xiu and Guwu families, if they become athletes, they must be the best. Under normal circumstances, most of the direct descendants of the ancient families will not become professional athletes in line with the principle of keeping a low profile, unless they are People who really like a certain sport will give up their spiritual practice and become athletes;

There are many side branches or concubines of the old aristocratic families who have had professional athletes, and almost all of them have won awards in international competitions. Retirement is like Ordinary people are dying out of the world.

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 a bag of snacks. , eat along the way.

The little beauty was too willful and happily ate snacks. Xin Wushao and the bodyguards were very happy.

The surname Si has spawned many surnames, such as Yu, Xin, Fei, Xia, Ouyang, Sikong, Tan, Zou, Zeng, etc. However, the original population of the Si surname was not large.

The Si family has its roots in the south of the Yangtze River. It also moved and dispersed several times due to historical reasons. Later, the direct descendants still returned to their place of residence in the south of the Yangtze River and now 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.

Mr. Xin Wushao and his party set out from Hangzhou and headed for Si’s home without any hurry or slowness. While they were still chatting on the road, Coach Ou and others rushed to the high-speed rail station to have lunch first. , check in the ticket and enter the station at around 12:00, and take the high-speed train to the capital at 12:50 to 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.

In Kuaiji Mountain, there are thousands of rocks competing for beauty, thousands of valleys contending for streams, and the grass and trees are as hazy as the clouds and the beauty of the azure clouds. The people of the Si family are at the foot of the mountain, backed by famous mountains, and beautiful water passes by not far away. Beautiful mountains, beautiful waters and pastoral scenery are one and the same.

The characteristic of Shao City’s residential buildings 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 layout in Shao City is based on Taimen. The buildings in the Si family’s residence are almost all Taimen. Although they are not as exquisite and rich as the buildings in the famous Taimen ancient town, there are no residences for dignitaries. It is so majestic and majestic, but most of the buildings are old buildings from the Zhu Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They are made of bricks and stones of the same color and look low-key and simple.

Looking at the entrance of the village, behind the modern buildings is a stretch of whitewashed walls and black tiles. The bright, clean and elegant buildings stand quietly. Water flowed 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. Xin Wushao and several young people accompanied Le Xiao The girl and Mr. Yan shuttled 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 or paintings, and was only inlaid with bluestones. However, it could not hide its beauty. A sense of vastness and vicissitudes.

The door under the door frame is inlaid with a copper shell and nailed with 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 flowers and jasmine flowers have been sprinkled on it. The petals of rose flowers have a light fragrance.

Mr. Xin Wu accompanied the two distant guests and had just arrived outside the gate of Datai. The heavy door slowly opened from the inside. There were two rows of young scholars in their twenties in the courtyard inside the door. Two young men from Fochen opened the door, and 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 young people's queue. There were twelve people on each side, no more, no less, twenty-four in total, holding Buddha dust, brooms, water bowls, flower baskets, etc. Incense burner, Ruyi.

When the door opens, Leyun scans the people in the patio., I was surprised when I 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. Standing on Xiao Luo’s left hand side, his eyebrows trembled slightly when he saw the Si family’s formation. The Si family’s welcome was very grand.

"Little beauty, Young Master Yan, my uncle Si Hanfeng is here to greet you two. Please come in." The family door opened, and Fifth Young Master Xin asked the two distant guests to move forward.

Youdao is for guests to do as they please, but Leyun is not polite either. She walks towards Si's terrace door, steps on the petals and walks to the door frame of the terrace door. She raises her right foot first and enters 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 was wide open, Si Hanfeng was already rushing out to welcome him. When he saw his nephew accompanying the guests across the threshold, he took two quick steps again to greet the two distant guests. He clasped his fists cheerfully: "Little beauty and Young Master Yan came from afar, and the Si family was deeply uneasy as they were unable to leave the village to greet them. On behalf of the whole family, Si Hanfeng would like to welcome the two distinguished guests here."

, Ashamed." Yan Xing politely bowed with fists in his hands.

"Senior is so polite, Young Master Si welcomes you nearly 80 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.

"Little beauty is too modest, please come in quickly. Our 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 man from the Si family trotted forward first, sprinkling water, sweeping the floor and scattering flower petals.

When the uncle came, Si Xian decisively gave up his seat and went to the left hand side of Young Master Yan to accompany Young Master Yan. The uncle personally entertained the little beauty and helped the young lady and Young Master Yan and Fifth Young Master carry their backpacks. Follow behind.

After passing the door of the second courtyard, there were six middle-aged and elderly people waiting inside. Then there were six more people entering the third courtyard. After entering the fourth courtyard, four people were waiting on the patio. Welcome, this time invite the guests into the east chamber.

The Si family’s terrace gate leads to seven courtyards, and there are also seven courtyards on the left and right sides. The fourth courtyard in the center is the atrium, which is also the most noble. The three courtyards at the back belong to the backyard and belong to the Si family. Private living area.

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 Si Yujiang, the former head of the Si family;

The person supporting the old head of the family is Si Chunfeng, the current head of the Si family. The one on the other side of the old head is Si Yuanmao, the previous head of the Si family. He looks about seventy years old and is also carrying a cane, which is dark red in color.

There are several middle-aged men standing outside the main hall in the east wing. They are all reserved and ordinary-looking.

The head of the Si family accompanied the first two eldersWaiting for each other in the main hall of the east chamber, I heard the footsteps coming from far away. From the sound of footsteps, I can tell that Young Master Yan’s footsteps were steady. When he landed, his forefoot was slightly heavier than his heel. The little girl from the Immortal Medicine Sect’s footsteps were light and her landing was very 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 each other, while Le Xiaoxiao glanced at the eight gate gods outside the door with a flat look and said to Li A seemingly middle-aged man standing on the left hand side of the door, counting from right to left, cupped his hands and said: "If this junior didn't miss me, 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 my 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?

When the disguise technique was seen through, 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 person at a glance. Fake."

"Your old man's disguise skills are superb. It must be difficult for ordinary people to tell whether it is true or false. However, this junior is born with a sensitive nose and can smell the smell of disguise medicine." Le Yun winked meaningfully. , stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "You always invite me."

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 grandson again. Just kidding, if you keep doing this, sooner or later you will scare your grandsons to death."

"Our A-Xian is so brave that he will never be scared to death," Si Meinuan casually put her hand on her grandson. He walked up to the little girl who looked like a little white rabbit and wanted to touch his beard, but only touched his bare chin. He asked with interest: "Little girl, guess how old I am?"

"You have used the disguise technique and cannot see your face. From the skin on your arms and neck, it is estimated that you are no less than 10 years old. If you always feel your pulse, you are probably about the same age. May you live a long life."

The little girl, who looked like a little white rabbit, had bright eyes and long teeth, and a smile like the spring breeze. Si Mei's warm brows and eyes were peaceful, and she stretched out her hand to feel her pulse: "You can touch it, my hand. Here you go."
