After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 258 The He Family's Injustice

While this man was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, He Lingchuan went to be his hands-free shopkeeper. Apart from practicing hard, he took his personal guards and rock wolves out to hunt every three days.

It has only been three months since Di Liuzhi appeared in the world, and there are still new monsters making trouble in Xiazhou, so He Lingchuan took the new men to do his old job in the Panlong Dreamland.

Shan Youjun and Jiao Tai found a few more heroes for him, and they just got together a guard of 20 people.The best way to test the fineness, of course, is to put it into actual combat immediately.

In five days, they killed seven monsters, and the guards were reduced to 18 people.

One broke his leg and one died.

He Lingchuan gave the pension favorably, and then sighed.These are all powerful thugs guaranteed by Shan Youjun's pat on the chest, and their quality is much higher than that of Xiazhou soldiers.But judging from the actual combat in the past few days, they are still a lot worse than He Lingchuan's patrol team in Panlong Dreamland.

It seems that there is still a long way to go.

On the contrary, it was Li Qingge who heard that he was selecting bodyguards, so he recommended a Songyang mansion disciple to him.

He Lingchuan was in need of such an all-rounder, so he accepted it with a smile. Looking back, there were military doctors (monkeys) and logistics soldiers in this team, and the configuration was quite luxurious.

It would be nice to have another flying scout.

On this day, after getting rid of a nest of bat demons who sucked the blood of young children, He Lingchuan led his team back to Dunyu, and suddenly felt a slight chill on his face.

It's raining?
He looked up in astonishment, only to see tiny snowflakes mixed with traces of rain, falling from the sky, wetting everyone's clothes and hair, as well as the horse's mane.

They happened to pass by Qinghu Lake, but they saw that the ice on the shore had melted, and the floating algae had burst into green buds.The school of fish came up against the crushed ice, and the water surface was covered with a fish mouth that opened and closed indefinitely.

Only then did He Lingchuan realize in a daze that spring had really arrived.

The wind blowing on the face recedes a little bit of coldness and replaces it with a bit of moisture, which is completely different from the chill of winter.

Back at the He residence, He Lingchuan heard He Yue's voice before he entered the gate of the inner courtyard.

A family of three plus him is complete.

He Yue, who is usually too busy to see anyone, is rarely at home today.He Lingchuan found that this kid seemed to have grown taller again, but he had lost a lot of weight, probably because he was too hard at work in the state capital.

"Father, you are treating child labor harshly." He complained to the second child.

He Chunhua let out a heck, with a subterranean smile.

He Lingchuan sat down with a golden knife, and Mrs. Ying buried him: "I don't know how to change clothes, the wind and dust have been brought in!" He only changed his boots, and there were mud spots on the corners of his clothes.

He Chunhua asked him: "What demons have been eliminated today?"

Of course he knows what the eldest son has done these days.The township official also came to report that Mr. He had eliminated the harm for the locality, and the villagers were very grateful.

Going out to hunt can also gain a good reputation for killing demons and demons for the people, which is very cost-effective.

"A nest of big-eared bat demons, who only eat the blood of young children." He Lingchuan smiled, "there are not many, only thirty or so. Shan Youjun took them home and prepared to roast them."

Mrs. Ying frowned: "Is that food edible?"

How not, grill a grilled chicken flavor.He Lingchuan chuckled: "What day is it today, the whole family is here?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that something was wrong, because He Yue, who was behind his father, was winking at him desperately, as if his eyelids were cramped, while Mrs. Ying was stunned.

As for He Chunhua, it was cloudy and overcast immediately, and it seemed to be dripping water.

"Okay, what an unfilial descendant, how dare you forget what day it is today?"

Normally, He Chunhua didn't like the eldest son any more, and he didn't call him "unfilial".He Lingchuan thought bitterly, what big mistake did he make?
He Yue stood behind his father, kept reminding him, made a posture of burning incense and prostrating, prostrating at least three times.

"How can it be?" He Lingchuan laughed dryly, "Of course I remember that today I want to respect..."

He Yue shook his head frantically.

Not respect?That is "worship..."

He Yue nodded, pointing his finger at the sky.

"……sky?"

He Yue even rolled his eyes, with an expression of "you're done".

He Chunhua turned his head suddenly, just in time to see his expression, his eyebrows twitched.

The two boys have grown up, dare to cheat in front of him?
Taking advantage of the time when he turned his head, He Lingchuan's brains turned sharply, frantically recalling what was so special about today.

By the way, He Chunhua scolded him just now for "unfilial sons and grandchildren", this scolding is very special.

In addition, today is the "spring equinox" solar term, the plan for a year lies in spring, the stories in spring...what the hell happened in spring!

He frantically searched in the original body's sea of ​​consciousness.

Perhaps it was because he was too diligent in dreaming of Panlong City recently, and his spiritual consciousness gradually became stronger, but he actually found the answer in his vast memory!
Mrs. Ying coughed lightly, trying to save the eldest son from the siege.But He Lingchuan had already said beforehand: "Today is the family memorial day, father, I dare not forget!"

He Chunhua turned his head and snorted coldly: "I'm hanging around all day long!"

It can be seen that He Lingchuan answered correctly.

This is the most important day of the year for the He family, and the original body never dared to neglect it.

Both He Yue and Mrs. Ying secretly let out a sigh of relief.

It's no wonder that before going out to get rid of the demon this morning, the father told him that he must come back before the evening.At that time, He Lingchuan didn't think much about it, and agreed without hesitation.

Every family has a festival, but the family sacrifice of the He family is a thorn in He Chunhua's heart, and he never allows mistakes.

So in the He family, this matter never needs to be notified in advance, and everyone keeps it in mind.

He Chunhua glared at him: "What are you still doing, go take a shower and change clothes, the time is coming!"

"Yes!" He Lingchuan hurriedly responded, and quickly slipped away.

As soon as he returned to his yard, the servants brought in a large wooden barrel and filled it with water.

The so-called "fragrant soup", of course, is different from the usual casual washing. It needs to add fragrant medicines such as Angelica dahurica, peach skin, and green wood incense, which have the effect of warding off evil spirits, eliminating filth, and refreshing the body.

He Lingchuan cleaned himself up, and it was getting dark soon.He put on a white coat and hat, removed all accessories, cleaned his teeth with willow salt and rinsed his mouth with bitter tea, and then was led by his servants to the ancestral hall.

The renovation of He's house was going on all the time, and the ancestral hall was built first.Its shape is simple, with black tiles and gray walls, and it will be hidden in the building complex in a low-key manner in the future.

Under the eaves of the ancestral hall, the newly replaced white lanterns swayed in the increasingly heavy rain and snow, changing from time to time, making people's faces change.

When all the members of the He Mansion arrived, the housekeeper Lao Mo directed the servants to carry the offerings onto the tribute table like flowing water.

The three animals placed in the front row, whole pig, whole cow, and whole lamb, are roasted and shaped;
Then there are five fruits, which use local materials and choose five kinds of fruits that are common in the local area.

There are also 64 large and small bowls, which hold all kinds of dishes.

According to the regulations of the Yuan Kingdom, only the big three animals such as pigs, cows, and sheep are used in Tianjia sacrifices or public large-scale sacrifices. From officials to common people, the most small three animals such as pigs, chickens, and fish are used.

The sacrifices of the He family were not in accordance with the etiquette, but He Chunhua obviously didn't take it seriously.He Lingchuan remembered that since his father became the prefect of Qiansong County, family sacrifices seemed to be like this.

In the past, it was because the mountains were high and the emperor was far away; now that they have moved to Xiazhou, why are they still making taboos? He thinks that He Chunhua has his own considerations.

Besides, the He family has always closed the door to worship, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at this moment.

After all these things were neatly arranged, the housekeeper Lao Mo lit a white candle on the desk, and the family hall fell into silence.

This wait is half an hour.

He Chunhua and his wife were in front, and He Lingchuan brothers were in the back. They were all watching their noses and noses, and their noses were watching their hearts, standing still.

The rain outside the window seems to be more urgent.

The candle in front of the desk was never extinguished by the night wind, and it also illuminated the densely packed tablets in the shrine.

He Lingchuan knew that there were 120 six memorial tablets with the date of death written on the same day.

That was also the darkest and bloodiest day in the history of the He family.

The housekeeper, Lao Mo, suddenly said, "At the moment of Xu Shi, the time has come."

With a loud voice, He Chunhua began to say the prayer.

He doesn't need to memorize manuscripts, every word comes from the heart.

He Lingchuan listened and sighed inwardly.

This is the way of the world.

The He family was originally a prominent family in the capital, and the great-grandfather was a public official, so no matter how chaotic the current situation was, he could still protect the He family in smooth sailing.

19 years ago, his grandfather, that is, He Chunhua's father, was framed for the crime of repaying the gods, treason, and treason, which directly exposed the monarch's rebellious scales.In a fit of rage, the old emperor personally bestowed upon all his families to be executed, and it was still a decision!

He came back the next day, but the He family was basically beheaded, except for an 11-year-old boy who was far away in the field, and was not affected for a while.

The old emperor thought I would regret it but I didn't say anything. After catching the person who framed the He family, he slashed all over the family with his backhand, and added a Zhu Jiuzu, and then waved his hand:
The principal culprit has already been brought to justice, but the He family's tolerance and concealment are also inappropriate, and they are treated as an accessory.Today, He Chunhua, the youngest son of the He family, will be exempted from death and relegated to Qiansong County!
So magnanimous.

From then on, He Chunhua, the third son of the He family, who was well-known in the capital and had a bright future, suddenly became without a bright future.

Fortunately in the misfortune, He Chunhua was not assigned, but "relegated".

The word "depreciation" is used very spiritually.He Chunhua was not an official when he was young, but he was "demoted" according to the order. On the contrary, it shows that he was not beaten as a commoner, let alone a criminal, and there is no need to write ink on his face.

Not cut off the way of life, nor completely cut off the "lifting" machine, this is already the greatest kindness bestowed by the old emperor.

He Lingchuan looked through the memories of his original body, and he knew very well how He Chunhua climbed from a mere station official to his current official position step by step, and he was promoted twice in a row.In addition to the bitterness and hardship of not being humane, this kind of headwind turnaround also requires great luck.

After half a cup of tea, He Chunhua finished reciting.

There are many good news reported to the dead relatives this year, including his several meritorious deeds and promotion to the governor of Xiazhou, becoming a member of the frontier.In terms of power in his hands, he is already taller than his ancestors.

Therefore, He Chunhua's expression this year is more high-spirited than in previous years.He took a deep breath, stepped forward and knelt on the futon, and began to kowtow.

He kowtowed his head 36 times in a row, with a bang bang sound that everyone could hear.

Then, he took the incense handed by the housekeeper and lightly pressed it into the incense burner.
