Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Chapter 450: Suspected Fellow (Please subscribe and vote monthly)
Although the Chen family is not divided, the second and third bedrooms will not take the initiative under normal circumstances. At least they will not take the initiative to go ahead unless the old man and Chen Jinshui ask them to go over.

This time is after two o'clock in the afternoon, and I can still catch up on my nap.

Qingyan and Yuanbao entered their room and saw gold inside. Qingyan looked at it and said doubtfully: "Why are you here, are you waiting for us? But what happened?"

Huang Jin shook his head and nodded again, "I didn't encounter anything. I found something and came to tell you about it."

Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "What did you find? Where did Chen Jinshi take you today?"

Huang Jin replied: "First I walked around the street, followed him to see their store, and then took me to Ruyi Building for dinner at noon. It was in Ruyi Building that I discovered something."

"what's the situation?"

I heard about Ruyilou twice today, and it seems a little unreasonable not to go there.

Qingyan asked while thinking in her mind, and then heard Huang Jin say: "I found that the cups used in their private rooms in Ruyi Building are made of the same material as the milk bottles in Chou Chou Space."

Qingyan raised her eyebrows. It should be said that glass appeared as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, so it is not unusual to have it in the Song Dynasty. However, they are full of impurities and not very transparent. If they are the same as the glass bottles they use to hold milk, then it must be It’s for future generations.

"Besides the cup, did you find anything else different?"

Huang Jin thought about it for a moment and then said: "Their menu is not like other restaurants that hang nameplates on the wall, nor does the waiter sign up the dish names, but is embroidered on white silk, each one the same size, and sewn together. Let the guests hold it in their hands and look through it. Some of them have pictures of dishes embroidered on them, so even if you can’t read, you can tell what dish it is.”

As Huang Jin spoke, he also gestured with his hand about the size of the menu.

Qingyan guessed, could someone else have passed through? This is not impossible. Since they can pass through, others can too. Who can say for sure that others will not have any adventures.

"Chou Chou and the others caught up with us before tonight. Let's go to Ruyi Building tomorrow and maybe meet some of our fellow villagers.

I also felt that there was something wrong with the island in the middle of Yanyu Lake that we went to today, but I used my spiritual sense to detect it and couldn't find it. I thought I would let Chou Chou take a look before talking about it. This time, let's take a look at it together.

I originally thought that Tonggu County was nothing special, and I was leaving for Feilai Peak tomorrow. I didn't expect that there would be so many unexpected situations. "

After Huang Jin heard her talk about the island in the middle of the lake, he said with some regret: "Originally, Chen Jinshi wanted to take me to Yanyu Lake after lunch, but I thought it was pointless to see the scenery, so I refused. I would have gone if I had known better. I’ll take a trip, maybe I’ll find something.”

It had lived in Xiangguo Temple before and was quite familiar with the layout and architectural style of the temple. If you go in and take a look, you might be able to find something wrong.

Just listening to Qingyan's description, it felt that something was wrong. Generally, temples would not be built on the site of other people's pavilions, especially if there were problems.

Even if it is rebuilt on the old site, it will be the old site of the temple itself. Basically, it will not damage the foundation of the owner. Isn't this a negative impact on the luck of the family's descendants?

"By the way, why did the door of Chen's house open? Did some important person come?"

Qingyan asked after remembering this. Huang Jin came back earlier than them, so she should know something.

Huang Jin: "Oh, it's the chief of the Chen family who is here. It seems something happened in the clan area. We happened to meet him when we came back. I didn't have the nerve to listen to other people's family affairs there, so I went back to the backyard first."

Qingyan was a little curious about what was going on, so she suppressed her sense of ethics and looked towards the front yard with her consciousness, thinking that she would listen to it herself and promise not to spread it to others.

It turned out that except for the servants, there was no Chen family there.

Could it be that the Chen clan leader has left?
No way, you just came here for a while and then left? It’s not easy to come here, why don’t you leave after dinner.

After thinking about it, maybe they had finished talking about business and went to the middle courtyard, so she sent her spiritual consciousness to the middle courtyard again.

Sure enough, it was there, in Mr. Chen's yard.

The Chen clan leader was also different from Qingyan's imagination. She thought he had to be about the same age as Mr. Chen, but she didn't expect that he was about the same age as Chen Jinshui.

He looks quite calm, with a temperament that is used to being the master of the family. It may be because of seniority. Although he is the patriarch, he still treats Mr. Chen as a junior.

The patriarch of the Chen clan was followed by two younger descendants, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. They should be his nephews and they probably escorted him here.

Except for them, Mr. Chen, and Chen Jinshui, there was no one else in the room.

A few people were sitting there drinking tea and talking. Qingyan listened and found that they were talking about the funeral. Then she listened for a while and finally heard the reason. It turned out to be the previous clan leader, who was this person. The patriarch's father had just passed away, and he came to report the funeral.

Seeing that there is no sadness on their faces, it must be that the former clan leader has been bedridden for a long time. As the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of a sick bed. The sadness has long been worn away, and everyone has expected this day.

As for why as the patriarch, he came here to report the funeral in person, it was because Mr. Chen was from their direct lineage, that is, his second uncle.

As a nephew, it was the other person's eldest brother who died, so he must come to pay his respects in person.

If it's a side branch or a relatively distant relative, just send a junior member of the family to go directly.

Don't underestimate the clan chiefs in ancient times, because at this time, government orders are not issued to the county, and many things are resolved by the clan itself. Therefore, the clan chief is quite authoritative and can even decide the life and death of his own clan members.

He is also relatively busy. He has to take care of everything in the clan, from opening an ancestral hall to offering sacrifices to quarreling between two families, and even dividing the family for weddings and funerals. Under special circumstances, he can divorce someone else's wife on his behalf. , you will know how powerful the patriarch’s power is.

Because of this, they will not leave the clan area easily. Those who come out are branches, and they will basically stay in the clan area.

When those who come out become prosperous, they will also give back to the clan and buy clan land to build ancestral halls and clan schools. Therefore, as long as a clan can produce one or two capable people, its life will not be too bad. This is also why the ancient people had a very strong concept of clan. It is because everyone will be prosperous and everyone will be harmed. Once one person commits a crime, the entire clan will be guilty, so both good and bad are relative.

Okay, the topic has gone off topic again.

Since the patriarch of the family has passed away, and the eldest brother and uncle of the Chen family will probably go back to attend the funeral, they can just say goodbye tomorrow so as not to cause trouble to others.

Of course, it’s impossible to say that no one will be left in the family, but if one is left, it will definitely be busier, so it’s better not to cause trouble to others.

Qingyan thought about this and told Huang Jin. As the two were talking, they discovered that there were two more people in the room, Chou Chou and Jin Yang.

Fortunately, a few of them were relatively used to this kind of sudden situation, otherwise they would have been so frightened that they would have screamed out.

Several people greeted each other in a low voice and did not say much about the situation on both sides. Because there were servants in the yard, their whispers would inevitably be heard by others, so Chou Chou, Jin Yang and Qing Yan fought. He said hello and went directly back to the space.

The three of them cannot return to space now because they may come over at any time at this time. After all, they are at someone else's home and they may come over at any time to invite them.

He simply took another nap, Huang Jin returned to his room, and Qingyan and Yuanbao also lay on the bed. If they had anything to do, they could wait until the evening to talk about the situation on both sides in a down-to-earth manner.

Chou Chou and Jin Yang were not idle after returning to the space. There was an extra snake demon. The three of them were building the bamboo building for Qingyan in the space.

Yes, just as Qingyan thought before, the snake demon entered the space and got used to it for a while, then began to walk around in the space. When it saw the bamboo building under construction, its disgust almost disappeared from its eyes. It overflowed.

After enduring it, he still couldn't hold it back and asked Chou Chou who was building this space. There were houses in the space, so it was obviously not meant for them to live in.

After hearing that Chou Chou said it was built for a little girl, he suggested that it could help make the scenery more beautiful.

If it were built according to what Chou Chou and Jin Yang had planned before, it would be a square, two-story building with multiple terraces. Although Qingyan had drawn a drawing, the drawing was really just an ideal model. If you want to create that kind of exquisite and elegant feeling, it is really impossible for non-professionals to accomplish it, at least you need talent.

So even if Qingyan imagined it, it was just a two-story structure with a half-story balcony. Snake Demon is that kind of talented player. The small bamboo house he built by himself shocked Qingyan. That was still him. I didn’t think about building it to be exquisite, but focused on practicality.

Although I stayed in it for a long time and was very bored, no one else would see it anyway. I just wanted to live comfortably by myself. I really didn’t pay attention to the aesthetics. It was already very beautiful as it was. You can think about what it would look like if others looked at it from the outside. If you put more effort into it, it will definitely look better.

Of course, Qingyan doesn't know this situation yet. She won't know this until she enters the space.

Qingyan and Yuanbao slept for more than an hour and got up at around four o'clock or five o'clock. They washed up a little, changed a set of clothes, and then drank tea in the room.

The hot water was brought in by the servants outside who heard them getting up. There is a separate small kitchen in the guest house, which can be used to boil water and cook.

However, generally speaking, guests who come here to eat will go to the front to eat with the host, so the small kitchen is mostly used for boiling water and not for cooking, so it is quite convenient to wash up and drink tea.

After Qingyan and the two drank two cups of tea to relieve the dry mouth they had just woken up from, servants came to invite them to the front yard for a meal.

Qingyan subconsciously scanned the room with her consciousness and found that the Chen family and the three patriarchs of the Chen family were already in the main hall, sitting and chatting.

Qingyan thought about it and realized that the other party was here to report his funeral, so he should be considered to be in mourning period, so she shouldn't need to get any kind of greeting gifts.

He picked up Yuan Bao and walked out of the small courtyard with Huang Jin, preparing to go to the front yard. At the entrance of the courtyard, he met Fan Baolin who was also coming out with the servants of the Chen family.

His four guards did not follow him, and they should have stayed in the guest courtyard. After thinking about it, he knew that the head of the Chen family was here, so it was not easy to bring the guards there. They could also have dinner in the guest courtyard, and the servants would definitely Arrangements will not let them go hungry.

Several people walked forward together. Fan Baolin casually asked Qingyan how the place where they were playing was, and Qingyan also briefly talked about where they went today. Yuanbao would also add a few childish words from time to time, making them laugh. , the atmosphere was quite cheerful along the way.

When they arrived at the front yard, the servants had already started serving food, and the Chen family invited them to sit at the table.

As before, men and women were divided into two tables. This time there were three more patriarchs at the men's table. Although they could still fit in, they were somewhat crowded.

So the three younger boys were rushed to the women's table and sat with their mothers.

Because the old patriarch of the Chen family passed away, we didn't have any drinks during the meal, but we chatted for a while. The patriarch was quite eloquent and very skillful in speaking. He got a lot of words out of Fan Baolin and Huang Huang.

Of course, those two are considered old-timers, and they are willing to say anything about quilting. There must be no core secrets.

However, when Patriarch Chen met for the first time, he would not ask about the secrets of other people's families. He would only inquire about the strength of their family, thinking that if they were good, he would make some friends and expand his network.

Even if the clan leader does not leave the clan, isn't it because there are still so many descendants? If there are better connections, they can be used by the descendants. For the development of the clan, the clan leader is also worried about it.

After finishing the meal, Qingyan realized that the clan leader was not very old. He was just twenty-six years old. At first, she thought he was similar to Chen Jinshui. In fact, he was younger than Chen Jinshi and the same age as Chen Jinfei, but he looked a little taller. Appear old.

Sure enough, the more you worry about, the faster you will age.

One of the 17 or 18-year-old young men who came with the Chen clan leader looked at Qingyan from time to time when he first started eating, but then stopped.

Qingyan didn't notice, but the other people at the table noticed that the young man was attracted to Qingyan and couldn't help but glance at the little girl's face.

At first, I had some thoughts, but when I heard that she was from the capital, and let's not talk about her family background, I knew that there was no chance for me because of the high mountains and the long distances, so I gave up and stopped looking here.

It's not that Qingyan didn't notice his gaze. With her consciousness and keenness, she had already noticed that he was looking here. However, she just thought she was curious about strangers like them and didn't feel any malice in him, so she Didn't think about anything else.
