An old house in the north of Lin'an City is still magnificent from a distance. The gate is towering. Two stone lions are majestic at the gate, and the two Zhang wide steps are paved down. But recently, there is a seal on the heavy gate. The words on the seal are vague, the door is covered with dust and mottled cracks. The place where the plaque should have been hung on the door is empty. It is obviously the house of a senior member who was sealed up .
LAN Wenyu is sitting on the tea stand not far away, drinking tea slowly, but his eyes stay on the two doors.
The tea stall was cold and there were no two guests under the tree. The stall owner was an old man. Seeing that he had been staring at the house, he laughed, "my guest, are you interested in the house?"
LAN Wenyu shook the big bowl of tea in his hand and said in a lazy voice: "it seems that this house has been sealed for a long time. Will the imperial court not release it?"
"Let it go, but who dares to buy it?" The old man tut tut twice, "you just look at the lintel to know that this is an aristocratic family. It's a five in and five out house. Behind it is Jingshan and a big lake. I don't know how beautiful the scenery is. It's one thing whether you can afford to buy such a big house. Do you know whose family this house belongs to? It can frighten you to say so."
LAN Wenyu said with a cool smile, "I'm bold and can't be scared easily. Please tell me."
The old man broke his fingers and counted, "it must have been eight or nine years. At that time, there were two big families in the capital, Wen and Wu. Wen was the grand Bachelor of Huangfu, Wu was this family, and weichi was the general of weichi. At that time, these two families were very popular. Unfortunately, they were all victims of the struggle. The old man has been setting up a stall here for several years. He has seen the weichi family run from glory to defeat. In a short period of time, there was no one left. Later, the imperial court sealed the house, and no one took charge of it any more. You can see that the seal was rotten and no one paid attention to it. It is estimated that the people above have forgotten the house. "
The old man came over with a teapot to carry the water. "Look, my guest is not like the people in Beijing. The old man dare to say so much. But now his royal highness Jinluan has changed two emperors. The weichi family is probably not taboo."
"Where have all the people of the Yuchi family gone?"
"I don't know about this old man," he said with a sigh. "The man beside the branch is probably still alive, but the master is Alas, senior general Yuchi is a good man, and his three sons are brave and good at fighting. In particular, Yuchi Wenyu, the son of a child, was born with a good appearance. He has been accompanying the prince since he was a child. It is said that he also has friendship with the Emperor today. Unfortunately, he died in battle when he was young. Otherwise, he would have been thirty years old. "
LAN Wenyu didn't speak. There was light in his eyes under the brim of his hat. He was not thirty-two, but thirty-two.
"Uncle, is there a candle seller around here?"
"Oh, you have to go through the alley in front of you. Once upon a time, this area was very busy. Since the weichi family's accident, it's much colder here. Many businessmen have moved away."
"Why don't you go, old man?"
"The old man is just an old man. The weichi family once favored me. The old man had no other skills, so he stayed here. Some naughty children went to the door to pee and row. The old man went to have a drink and sometimes helped to clean it up, but he didn't dare to do it too often for fear of being found out."
LAN Wenyu said, "can I ask you what kind of favor you have received from the weichi family?"
"In those years, the old man's grandson was seriously ill soon after he was born. He had no money to ask for a doctor. The old man shyly stopped general Wei Chi's horse, and the general gave me a full ingot of silver. Only in this way can the old man's grandson be saved. Now he is 12 years old, and he is half a boy, and he is very mature."
"I'm very lucky," Lan Wenyu stood up and put a ingot of silver on the table. "Thank you very much."
The old man looked at the ingot of silver and said, "my guest, I can't find it. If you don't have any money, I'll forget it. As for what the old man said today, just don't pass it on. "
LAN Wenyu said with a smile, "don't look for it. I not only drank tea, but also listened to the story. It's worth it."
When he left, he looked back at the old house again. The old man stood by and saw the eyebrows under the brim of his hat flash by. His mouth widened in amazement, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Wait for a person to walk far, he just fiercely kneels down to the ground, toward that person far away direction heavily kowtow a head.
In his life, he only received two hundred percent silver ingots, but it was from the same person. After a few years, the little general's demeanor remained the same, but it was hard for him to return home.
LAN Wenyu bought a candle and walked around the wall to the back door, where he was more evasive. Seeing that there was no one around, he jumped into the wall.
The backyard was full of weeds, which covered all the paths. When he walked up, the grass half a man's height reached his waist, as if walking on the wilderness. But this is not a wilderness, this is his home!
Looking at the familiar plants and trees, LAN Wenyu's eyes gradually become misty. It's nearly ten years. When he left, he was just a little over 20 years old, but when he came back, he was at the age of independence. It's just that he had no fame, no wife, and was alone. What would he do?
He didn't even have the face to come back to see his ancestors, because he even changed his surname. He not only changed his surname, but also rebelled against the country, and his surname was the emperor of Nanyuan. He didn't regret this. If he didn't escape or change his family name, he would not live until now. Now that he is back, he wants to make amends to his ancestors and let the weichi family restore its glorious family. He should pay for the mistakes he made.Although he had been away for a long time and the house was dilapidated, he did not forget it for a moment. Every brick was engraved in his mind. It was very clear. He walked as fast as he could, and soon arrived at the ancestral hall where the ancestors of the weichi family were worshipped.
pushed open the dusty door, squeaky, and the smell of dreary dust came to him. He waved it with his hand and saw that the tablets of the ancestors were still standing there. At the beginning, after the great prince muronghan came to power, most of the people in weichi's family ran away. Although they copied his family, they didn't smash his ancestral hall, so they could remain intact.
He not only remained intact, but also had four more tablets. He walked over slowly, and his eyes swept over the four tablets one by one, from his father to his eldest brother and second brother, and finally to himself. It says his former name: weichi Wenyu. He was seriously injured and ran away in the chaos. I don't know if anyone would collect their bodies, but someone secretly carved a memorial tablet and put it in the ancestral hall, so that they could have a place to rest.
He took out the candle and lit it. Holding the slender incense, he knelt down and worshipped three times. He worshipped his ancestors, his parents and his brother. Finally, he lit the incense again and worshipped his memorial tablet
