She stood there in a daze, not moving for a long time.
This is a ancestral hall.
As the door was pushed open, the smoke from the incense in front of the shrine dissipated, and the candlelight was hit by the strong wind, shaking violently.
On the table in the ancestral hall, tablets were densely packed and placed in order, all of which were dedicated to...
Members of the Wei clan!
The expression on Wei Xiyin's face suddenly changed, her heart was beating violently, unable to hide the turmoil in her heart.
Her fingers trembled slightly, and she ordered in a suppressed voice, "Close the door!"
The two guards came back to their senses from their shock and quickly followed the order to close the door.
They have never been to school, but everyone in the fort knows the word "Wei". Whether it is the plaque on the top of the fort or the flag of the Wei family army, this word is everywhere in their lives.
And now, this word is on all the tablets in this ancestral hall.
In addition, the girl seemed to be a little abnormal at the moment, so it was not difficult to guess who was enshrined in the ancestral hall.
As the door closed, the wind in the room stopped.
The smoke from the burning incense in front of the shrine no longer floated around, but rose upwards and gradually spread throughout the house.
Wei Xiyin walked forward slowly, knelt on the mat, and greeted all the deceased clansmen.
The identity of the owner of this mansion is obvious.
It seems to make sense that he doesn't want to see her.
The two guards did not dare to disturb the girl while she was paying homage to her clansmen, and they knelt down and worshipped the tablet in an orderly manner.
The room became very quiet.
Wei Xiyin stared at the tablet above in a daze, and after a long while, she said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go."
And outside.
Xiaoshan came back with hot water and found that the person was gone. He was so scared that his face turned pale.
It's over.
It seems that he messed up the task assigned by the leader.
Xiaoshan was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to disturb others, so he quickly put down his things and went out to look for someone.
He searched around and around, but there was no one outside.
Xiaoshan gritted his teeth and was about to call for help when the three men came back along the corridor.
Wei Xiyin had calmed down and said in a calm voice, "I saw that you hadn't come back for a long time, so I took people out to look for you."
Xiaoshan: “………” He came back a long time ago.
"Where did that girl go to look for me?" Xiaoshan asked tentatively, "Did anyone run into anyone else?"
Wei Xiyin: "No, I'm tired and need to go back and rest."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the door, not even waiting for Chang Ying.
Xiaoshan: “…”You don’t want to drink the hot water?
It was quiet outside the city.
The mansion in the west of the city was very lively.
The guards were busy in and out cleaning, washing clothes, and competing with each other for speed.
Because there are limited seats around the campfire in each room, if you are slow, all the seats will be taken and there will be no place to dry your washed clothes.
Dong Zhiyao was standing in the corridor with his hands behind his back, supervising the training of the female soldiers in the yard.
A Pan is very hardworking. She thinks she is good at martial arts, but just now Mr. Dong let Erlangjun fight with her for two moves, and she found that she couldn't even beat Erlangjun.
This immediately aroused A Pan's desire to win.
She led her sisters to practice under Mr. Dong's guidance, regardless of the ice and snow outside the courtyard, and tried hard to adapt to the new weapons they had just received.
The ladies were concentrating on their training.
At this time, the girl came back.
The group quickly stopped and saluted.
As a result, the girl had no expression on her face and passed through them like a gust of wind without any response.
Everyone looked at each other, having no idea what was going on.
Dong Zhiyao frowned and asked the two guards who had returned with him, "What happened?"
The two guards hesitated to speak. This was the girl's family affair, and they didn't dare to speak without the girl's permission.
Dong Zhiyao did not embarrass them and asked, "Where is Commander Chang?"
As soon as the words fell.
Chang Ying led his men in.
As soon as they came out, they were told that the girl had gone back alone.
He sensed something was wrong and immediately trotted back to the west of the city with his men.
I was relieved to know that the girl was fine.
Chang Ying walked towards the main courtyard to ask for a meeting, as he still needed to report the situation in the east of the city to the girl.
As a result, the two guards kept winking at him.
"The wind blew into my eyes?" Chang Ying felt puzzled.
A girl's voice sounded from inside the house, "Come in."
Chang Ying was too lazy to pay attention to them and went into the house to report the situation.
"I followed the militiaman into the main courtyard and saw the 'leader' lying in bed. He looked very unfamiliar, and I really didn't recognize him," Chang Ying reported. "But several of my subordinates have observed him, and he is indeed suffering from a cold..."
Wei Xiyin's expression remained calm as she nodded, "Then let's send some herbs to them."
She suddenly said, "By the way, how much pickled meat do we have left? Let's send some to the east city as a New Year's gift."
Chang Ying paused, his face full of disbelief.
You have to know that anything that belongs to a girl can only be taken in and not taken out by outsiders.
Meat is so precious nowadays.
The girl unexpectedly acted out of character and brought medicinal herbs and pickled meat.
Wei Xiyin sighed upon seeing this. Chang Ying was one of her own, her confidant. She confided, "Those living in that house are my sixth uncle and his family."
Chang Ying: “!!!”
He took a sharp breath and asked, "Did the girl just find it in the house?"
Wei Xiyin nodded, "Since my sixth uncle and the others don't want to recognize me, then let's just pretend they don't know. There's no need to investigate the situation in the east of the city."
The sudden sight of the tablets of her clansmen just now had a huge impact on her.
She has calmed down now.
As the patriarch, I cannot act on my emotions.
Countless clan members were implicated in this. They disobeyed the clan leader's orders at the critical moment, and it was not unfair that Wei Mingzhang and others were expelled from the family. Even though they had remorse, not all clan members had let it go.
She has to put the entire family first.
However, it's okay to help out privately.
Chang Ying took the order and immediately instructed the guards to pick out some smoked meat, sausages and other New Year supplies, as well as some prepared medicinal herbs, and asked the guards to deliver them to the mansion in the east of the city.
………
After Wei Mingzhang and others received the news and confirmed that everyone had left, they hurried out of the house and asked the younger generations one by one.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that no one had opened the door just now.
Wei Mingxiu was still secretly thankful that everyone was smart enough not to be discovered by Wu Niang.
He told everyone, "Don't go out during this time, just stay in the yard."
The gentlemen nodded dejectedly.
Although they are blood relatives, they cannot recognize each other when they meet.
The indescribable and complicated emotions stuck in my chest made me feel very uncomfortable.
Xiaoshan hung his head and dared not say a word. Although he didn't know why the leader and the others were hiding from the girl, he had not kept an eye on her and almost ruined the leader's plan.
"Chief!" Dashan rushed in, his eyes sparkling. "A bunch of New Year's goods have arrived from the west side of the city. Not only are there medicinal herbs, but there's also smoked meat and sausages!"
