Chapter 287 Scared

The genealogy is not just a book that records the in-laws and heirs, it is just an important item that constitutes the genealogy. In addition, the genealogy will be divided into two categories. One is to record the major events in the family and the lives of important family children. For example, Qin Zhengze, who lived his life He has assisted three kings, served as the chief assistant, and served as the emperor's teacher. During this period, his outstanding contributions to the country and the family will be recorded one by one, and even some educational words he said to the younger generations of the family will be recorded as short stories in the genealogy middle.

The second is to record the secret affairs of the family. If the former is more praise than derogation, then this is mostly realistic, and even critical. And the secrets are not only related to the Qin family, sometimes the court and other families are also involved, even hearsay secrets will be recorded in it, the purpose is to let future generations understand the past more clearly, and it is also a warning to future generations the meaning of.

Therefore, historians often ask for the genealogy of a certain period of the family. Even if their records may not be detailed and true, they are also historical materials of the same period, which can provide them with great historical help in studying history.

And the genealogy is never in the hands of only one person, it is jointly controlled by several people in the family, and only the head of the family has the right to consult it without the consent of all members, because there are too many secrets involved, no Anyone is eligible to see it.

Generally speaking, these things are managed by loyal servants, and at least five clan elders jointly manage them. If you want to consult the genealogy of a certain period, you must obtain the consent of at least three clan elders.

Qin Chengyu is the patriarch, but he can only read the genealogy that records the in-laws and heirs in the clan, and he is not qualified for the other two.

So he didn't know many secrets in the clan, but now that Gu Jingyun knew so well about the origin of a rockery in the clan, how could he not change his face.

Qin Xinfang can consult the three types of genealogy at will, and he may even memorize them all, and then teach Gu Jingyun as a successor.

This means that the Qin family has almost no secrets in front of Gu Jingyun, except for the fifteen years of secret affairs, he may know everything.

The feeling of being stripped for people to watch is very uncomfortable, but thinking of the resolution he made in the morning, he could only take a deep breath to suppress his dissatisfaction, turned to the yard with a smile and said, "Cousin and Cousin is awake?"

Gu Jingyun looked over, nodded with a smile and said, "The third cousin is also quite early."

"Last night, Yingzhi County got drunk and rested in the village. He revealed that he would raise money to redeem the house deed in the past two days. But I don't think it's so troublesome. It was redeemed by our Qin family. Over the years, the deeds have been issued to each house for better management. Now it is a matter of one sentence to take it back. It is better to let the county government issue the IOU first, and everyone bring the deeds into the register. I’ll give you some, and you’d better arrange it as soon as possible. As for the redemption money, it’s going to be confiscated anyway, so there’s no rush, just wait for the money from the treasury to be allocated and then let the county government pay back the money. Yingzhi County is an official in Runing. We have been familiar with each other for seven years, and we are very trustworthy in this regard.”

The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth twitched slightly, "As long as the clan doesn't mind, Jing Yun will naturally wish for it. I also want to rush back to the capital to celebrate the New Year with my uncle before the year. When things are over, Jing Yun will have a banquet in the city to thank all the cousins."

Hearing that Gu Jingyun was going back to Beijing for the New Year, Qin Chengyu couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, the smile on his face became more real, and he nodded, "Don't worry, no one from the clan will have any objections to this matter."

How could everyone have no objection to the repossession of a well-run shop?

However, no matter how big the opinion was, after Qin Lao Liu hinted at the adoption last night, it seemed insignificant.

Compared with these petty profits, the inheritance of the family and the continuation of the direct line are the big things.

Everyone secretly wants to recommend their son/grandson/great-grandson to Qin Xinfang, they are the Qin family, Gu Jingyun's surname is Gu, how can he adopt him?

I don't know if it will be too late for them to go to the capital to join Qin Xinfang next year, but before that, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu have to dispel their adoptive thoughts.

After Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu found out that there was a big knife hanging over the heads of everyone, everyone treated them a lot more politely, and the property was returned very quickly. In only two days, all the land deeds and house deeds were returned to their hands, and even Qin Chengyu quickly paid for them. His son vacated a small yard and asked his son and daughter-in-law to move out of the main house.

In the entire main house, only Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu lived in the guest courtyard, and the rest of the place was sealed off, and the courtyard door would only be opened for cleaning.

Gu Jingyun hated walking too far from the main road, so he asked someone to open the corner door at the south corner, and enter and exit from there.

Gu Jingyun closed the corner door, and was about to tell Erlin to lock the door when he heard a thin sound, he paused, turned around and looked over, there were two sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted there, it must be some years old, The trunk is thick, and the moonlight casts a shadow on the branches and the fence, as if there is a terrible monster hidden inside.

Erlin saw that his master had stopped moving suddenly, he followed his gaze in fear, and said tremblingly: "Master, master, what's there?"

The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth slightly raised, and he said softly, "Ghost!"

"Ah——" Erlin's eyes widened, seeing two figures floating out from behind the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, his legs trembled involuntarily, and he couldn't help screaming.

The two black shadows and Gu Jingyun who came out were startled by Erlin, and they didn't move for a while.

Gu Jingyun looked at his coachman helplessly, he was just joking, this guy actually took it seriously?

Li Baolu, who was sitting cross-legged on the soft couch and meditating, jumped up when she heard Erlin's scream, and ran outside without wearing her shoes.

Zi Luo, who came in with the snacks, felt a gust of wind, and the plate in her hand almost fell. Her intuition was wrong, she looked up into the room, and exclaimed, "Zi Shan, where's Mrs. Biao?"

Zishan had just cut off the lanterns to make the room brighter, when she heard the words, she turned around and said, "What are you calling, isn't Mrs. Biao here?"

Zi Shan's fingers froze, and she stared at the soft couch with wide eyes. When she cut the lantern flowers with scissors, Mrs. Biao was clearly sitting cross-legged on the couch.

Seeing that the shoes on the ground were still there, the faces of the two girls turned pale in unison, and their eyes could not help but wander around the room.

Why did such a nice person suddenly disappear?

The main house has been built for 800 years. There must be a lot of people who died unjustly here, and no one has lived here for fifteen years. The yang energy is not enough, maybe...

The two little girls leaned against each other, looking around with pale faces and staring eyes.

At this time, Li Baolu ran to Gu Jingyun's side, and seeing him standing there safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Li Baolu took Gu Jingyun's hand, touched him up and down, left and right, and made sure that he was not hurt at all, then stared at Erlin, "Why are you yelling at night?"

Erlin pointed to the left with trembling fingers.

Li Baolu had noticed that there were still two people standing there, but she didn't take it to heart. Seeing that Erlin was so frightened, she turned her head to look. She has good eyesight and is not night blind. two people.

They were all in their forties, and looked at them with embarrassment.

"Who are you, why are you here at the main house so late?" Li Baolu asked with a frown.

Seeing that Li Baolu didn't seem to misunderstand that they were ghosts, the two of them immediately took a few steps forward and completely exposed their figures to the moonlight to show that they were really not ghosts.

"Young Master Biao, Mrs. Biao, don't forget me, I used to work as a errand in the main house."

The people beside him also hurriedly saluted and said: "Little Qin Bin, I have met Mr. Biao and Mrs. Biao."

Don't forget and Qin Bin? Li Baolu glanced at Gu Jingyun.

Gu Jingyun just looked them up and down for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let Erlin take you to the study first."

Gu Jingyun glanced at Erlin, and Erlin blushed and hurriedly led the way for the two of them. Only then did he realize that the master was joking with him just now, but he yelled as if he was serious. Really, I am ashamed to death !

Erlin walked in front with a red face, and Mo Wang and Qin Bin whispered to him with some apprehension on their faces: "Brother Erlin scares you, right? We hide in the shadows because we want to avoid people." , didn't mean to scare you..."

"No, I don't blame you," Erlin said with a blushing face, "It's because I'm too timid..."

When the three of them disappeared, Gu Jingyun walked up to Li Baolu and knelt down, and said with a straight face, "Come on."

Li Baolu coughed lightly, and happily lay on his back, Gu Jingyun weighed it, and it didn't feel too heavy, but he still said: "Next time I run out and don't wear shoes, I will drag you back, and I won't carry you any more. "

Li Baolu pouted, "Aren't I worried about you? How much time does it take to put on shoes? But I didn't realize that Erlin was so timid before. Just two black shadows scared him like that?"

Of course, Gu Jingyun would not explain that he scared Er Lin, so he changed the subject and said, "Mo Wang and Qin Bin have come to visit us, and other people will definitely try to get in touch with us. Go back to the inn tomorrow. Many of the servants released by my uncle are no longer in the Qin Family Village, and it is very difficult for them to enter the village to find us, but it is easy to go to the inn. You ask Zi Gui to help count the people, and then bring them to Qin Family Village for me."

"Aren't you avoiding the Qin family?"

Gu Jingyun was silent for a while before saying: "No, it's better for Niu Niu if we are stronger."

Li Baolu stopped asking.

Gu Jingyun walked into the main room with Li Baolu on his back, and the shoes made a rattling sound when they stepped on the floor. The two girls in the room who were thinking wildly searched the room but did not find Li Baolu. They were terrified, and they were shocked when they heard the footsteps. They cried out and hugged each other, closing their eyes and not daring to look at the door.

The young couple were taken aback by the cry, Gu Jingyun paused and entered the room, seeing the two girls hugging each other and crying, asked with a sinking face, "Why are you crying?"

Zi Luo boldly opened her eyes, and saw Li Baolu sitting on the couch, while Gu Jingyun was standing beside the couch, her body softened immediately and she knelt down on the ground, crying, "Mrs Biao, where have you been? I thought, I thought you..."

Li Baolu smiled lightly and said, "Do you think I was captured by demons and goblins?"

Only then did Ziluo realize that this statement was inappropriate, but she still nodded under the watchful eyes of the two masters.

Gu Jingyun lifted his robe and sat down on the soft couch, and asked lightly, "My Qin family is upright and generous, why are there ghosts and ghosts in the main house? Who are you listening to these rumors?"
