supreme heaven

() When the journey entered No.30 for four days, Qin Guyue could already feel the atmosphere of the southern water town. Although it could be autumn, here, the heat and humidity still seem to be diffused in the air. The dust sticks to people and makes people feel uncomfortable.

But along with these breaths, there is also the fresh and charming breath of Jiangnan, just like the body fragrance of a girl.

At this moment, Liu Wangcai who was driving the carriage stretched out his head and said to Qin Guyue who was in the carriage: "Master, we will be able to go home this evening."

"Oh? Can I go to Yunshui Villa this evening?" Qin Guyue's mood changed slightly, then nodded and said: "It's been more than a month, and it's time to arrive."

Liu Wangcai said with a smile: "Young master, don't look down on Yunshui Villa. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a villa, but it is a city. This is the ancestral property of your Qin family!"

Qin Guyue had naturally read this story, and it was clearly recorded in the "Benji of Taizu" in the history book of the Shengtian Dynasty.The ancestors of the Qin family had made great contributions to the emperor Taizu of the Shengtian Dynasty and were his generals.Before a decisive battle that took place in the southeast battlefield, where there was a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, His Majesty the Taizu once asked the ancestors of the Qin family before the battle: "There are many enemies and we are few, how sure are you in this battle?" The ancestor replied generously: "I'm sure." Taizu laughed and said, "If you win this battle, I will seal you a thousand households in this southeast land. If you win and lose less than half of your troops, I will seal you ten thousand households. If you win If you lose only one-third of your troops, I will grant you 40 households." The ancestor of the Qin family was also a genius in using troops, and he managed to win by surprise. He only lost one-tenth of his troops, and he defeated [-] of the enemy's army. Naturally, he won. The [-] household bet with the Taizu at the beginning.After Taizu ascended the throne, he wanted to confer kings with different surnames on the ancestors of the Qin family, but this ancestor repeatedly refused, saying that "the aspirations are not in the princes, but in the ears of the clouds and waters", so the fiefdom of [-] households was changed to "Yunshui Villa". , which means between clouds and water, is a place for hermitage, retirement, and burial.This kind of behavior not only offset Taizu's concerns, but also gained the Qin family's lofty status in the Shengtian Dynasty in the future, which has continued to this day.

It was also the ancestors of the Qin family who retreated to advance, which allowed the Qin family to survive the power changes and family purges of the subsequent dynasties.Speaking of which, this Yunshui Villa is really a blessed place to protect the Qin family.

The Qin family's ancestral house, which is the center of Yunshui Villa, was built on the bank of a big river. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has excellent Fengshui, so the land on the river bank is fertile. The grass market market town formed in between.

After entering the range of Yunshui Mountain Villa, the post road is better than the official road, and there are even countless green trees planted on both sides, showing a thriving scene.

The carriage passed through a dark forest, with lush green trees on both sides and fresh air.Following a flat path, sitting in the carriage, you can see the small valley on the left, and looking to the right, you can see a group of buildings stretching to the mountainside in the distance, which is the ancestral house of the Qin family.

After hundreds of years of family glory, the original ancestral house has been renovated and rebuilt countless times in the hundreds of years of history, and it has already become quite large!

What surprised Qin Guyue even more was that there were as many as 500 private soldiers left behind in this ancestral house.And it seemed that they had learned early that Qin's eldest son was coming, and the five hundred private soldiers had already dressed neatly in black armor and lined up on horseback on the school field in front of the ancestral house to welcome them.

Each of these private knights is also in the realm of samurai, and there are even a few elite soldiers. In terms of the quality of the troops, they are even comparable to a local garrison.

As expected of a martial arts family with thousands of years of accumulation in the Shengtian Dynasty, the [-] territorial private soldiers staying in the castle are obviously well-trained. not bad.

Yunshui Villa is so vast, there are naturally many natural hunting grounds, and some hunting activities are held here every year, which is also a disguised form of exercise for these soldiers.

Passing through the queue of five hundred knights, Qin Guyue finally came to the Qin family's ancestral house.

Looking at it from a distance and looking at it up close really is completely different.

Behind a huge archway is a long road, which winds and turns along with the mountain, and the houses of the Qin family's ancestral house are all blue bricks and black tiles, and the corners are cornices, showing the air of a big family. .Moreover, all the buildings are built against the mountain. On the top of that mountain, there is a bell tower that can be seen from a distance.

After passing the archway, there is a huge stone tablet in the middle of the road, which is fixed on the base, but the handwriting on the white stone tablet is still clearly visible. It was the first year of the first emperor of the Shengtian Dynasty, and it was written by His Majesty Taizu.

Even after thousands of years of history, this Taizu's handwriting still exudes the domineering arrogance of Dingding, the universe, and who else is I. When the carriage drove here, Qin Guyue took the initiative to get out of the carriage, and looked deeply at this side. He dismounted from the stele to salute, and then walked towards the ancestral house on the mountain with twenty accompanying warriors.

Bypassing half a mile of mountain road, Qin Guyue finally stepped into the gate of the ancestral house. Unlike the imagination, surrounded by countless servants and maidservants, the whole ancestral house was deserted and extremely silent, as if no strangers lived there.The only person who greeted Qin Guyue and his party was a tall, thin, silver-haired old man, wearing that out-of-date blue gown. Qin Guyue knew from the book that this kind of clothes was fashionable in Yunjing City decades ago. If someone wears such clothes and goes out now, he will be regarded as a lunatic.But the behavior of the silver-haired old man is in line with the etiquette of the nobility. He is meticulous in saluting, just like a piece of rotten wood. He is conservative and respectful. Although he is very measured, it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.This feeling is like talking to someone who should not be in this world, very weird.

The old man had already bent down, saluted deeply, and then said in a low and slow voice: "Young Master, I am Qin Bang, the left-behind housekeeper here. I have learned about your upcoming arrival three days ago. Now the old man Everyone here is ready for your inspection. Please come with me."

When Qin Guyue heard this, she smiled inwardly, inspecting?Doesn't this old guy know that I'm going to stay here forever?Or are you afraid of provoking me, maybe pretending to be confused?

After finishing speaking, the old butler turned around and carefully led Qin Guyue up the steps.He has no faults in etiquette at all, his manner is respectful and polite, humble and not flattering, leading Qin Guyue into the old house.

Fortunately, there are still servants in these old houses, otherwise Qin Guyue would be smothered to death by herself.

After entering the living room, all the servants in the old house were dressed in neat clothes and stood on both sides of the hall, welcoming Qin Guyue's arrival.

As for why you didn't come to greet them at the door...Qin Guyue suddenly thought from the clothes of the old butler that decades ago, it was not in accordance with the etiquette to go out to greet distinguished guests...you should greet them in the living room...but now the guests It is extremely rude to arrive at the door without being greeted...

Thinking of this, Qin Guyue couldn't help cursing secretly in her heart: "Old Antique!"

Qin Guyue naturally wouldn't be very interested in this weird "inspection", he nodded casually, and then said in a low voice: "Okay, now please take me to the bedroom... As for everyone, please each Let's go, go back to your work."
