Fish swimming around the world

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You little money-grubber! Here, I've prepared it!"

As he said that, he took out a heavy red envelope from his arms and slapped it in her hand.

The little fox smiled immediately, his eyes curved, and he looked more and more like a fox.

Then, she looked at Lin Nanyan unsatisfiedly, and the latter groaned and took out a red cloth bag from her arms: "I saved three months' monthly allowance, what a sin..."

The little fox didn't care and snatched it away.

"And the white fox mother's, I remember it..."

"Money-grubber! No wonder you practice business, okay, I'm starving, it's time to burn the bottom of the pot!"

"Of course, of course, then let's eat!"

After getting the red envelope, the little fox was really generous, and set up a table of iron pot stew in the yard.

The moment he lifted the lid of the pot, Jiang Fan was surprised.

Demoli stewed fish, how did she know that she liked this?

The little fox cunningly explained that once the emperor came, she relied on her petite and lovely appearance to win the emperor's favor, and asked about the first dish the emperor had eaten at the fox fairy father's place. And as it happened, as a fox, she also loved to eat fish the most.

"It's still a six-jin grass carp, but this time there are three, because I heard that the dean's appetite has increased greatly."

The little fox said while distributing bowls and chopsticks.

Lin Nanyan said: "How can you be so smart, little guy. If I could do this, the young master would have accepted it long ago... hehe..."

Jiang Fan gave her a big head slap without surprise, and the little fox laughed out loud.

The laughter and joy filled the Xiaoxiao courtyard, which was particularly warm.

In Jiang Fan's eyes, it seemed like a lifetime ago...

After staying in Mount Li for two days and one night, Jiang Fan received a message from Alai through Xiaoxue that Ding Lang had returned.

In this case, it's time to go to Tangwu Mountain to take a look and come back to have a peaceful New Year.

Jiang Fan did not delay and returned to Fanrenju soon.

But this time he brought back someone - Hu Xiaoling.

That's right, just after the pot was cooked, classmate Hu Xiaoling had not had time to move into her new home, but was recruited to Fanrenju.

Young Master Jiang brought her back not because Fanrenju was lacking in popularity recently, but because Yuwen Chengxin was too busy.

As the financial manager of both Mount Li and Fanrenju, Chengxin was always on the go. This time, she didn't even have time to meet her master. Last time when she came back from Beijiang, it was Jiang Fan who took the initiative to find her to give Meng Yi's gift.

Although the well-behaved disciple didn't complain at all, Young Master Jiang couldn't bear it. He had been thinking about finding someone to handle the affairs of Fanrenju for him, and then the little fox jumped out. This quirky little guy who was extremely good at mathematics and business was just too much for Jiang Fan.

So, after teaching at the academy, he saw Zhang Zaifu and specifically mentioned this matter.

Of course Zhang Zhiling had no objection, just let him talk to Hu Xiaoling himself.

So when burning the bottom of the pot, Jiang Fan mentioned this. When Hu Xiaoling heard that they were going to the fox fairy father's house, she was almost confused by joy. At that time, she tore off the bed sheet, wrapped some small items into a small package, and carried it on her shoulders and followed him. That look was very much like a little vixen who had stolen a chicken and returned.

After returning to Fanrenju, Jiang Fan asked her to hand over to Yuwen Chengxin, and from then on, Chengxin's disciple should concentrate on the affairs of Mount Li. Yuwen Chengxin had already explained it to her before, and she understood the current importance of Mount Li, and she was indeed too busy to do it. There was no misunderstanding, so he immediately took Yuwen Chengxin to see the family background of Fanrenju.

Jiang Fan himself called Ding Lang, and as soon as they met, Ding Lang directly described what happened in Li Xiu's mansion.

Jiang Fan listened for a long time and nodded: "Li Xiu is very foresighted, and this time he did it thoroughly. Okay, we will set off tomorrow morning and go to Tangwu Mountain. I want to see how much trouble there will be in this ancestral temple without the water of the emperor..."

Tangwu Mountain is still Tangwu Mountain, but there are three major differences.

First, there is a lake at the foot of the mountain, which was dug out by Xiao Cui and the master last time.

Then, the general guarding the mountain is no longer the general Pei, but the three thousand troops sent by the empress.

Finally, there is no emperor on the mountain. Although the mansion has not changed its name, it has changed in a short time.

There is no change in other things. But Jiang Fan also climbed to the top of the ancestral temple for the first time.

The Ying family, which is said to have a history of 2,000 years, originated at the foot of Tangwu Mountain, but it really rose since the end of the Phoenix Dynasty. Thanks to the fact that the Ying family had a peerless prodigy at that time, Ying Qin.

This extraordinary man created the thousand-year-old Ying family. He eventually entered the imperial court during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Zhou Dynasty, and later became the king of the northwest. Until now, he has become one of the five hegemons in the world. Especially after the female emperor came to power, the Qin Dynasty became unprecedentedly powerful, and even defeated the Four-Nation Alliance on its own. It was at its peak.

The Ying clan temple was established by Ying Qin to worship the ancestors of the clan and to control the children of the family.

Therefore, the person in charge of the ancestral temple has great power. Many times, when it comes to the clan level, even the king has to be controlled by them, which is a bit like the meaning of the clan leader.

Such people are often called Zong Bo, and the highest-ranking among them is called Da Zong Bo. In fact, before the Zhou Dynasty, it was also called Zhu Zong, and later evolved from the name of the ritual official in charge of divination, sacrifice and other rituals in the Zhou Dynasty.

This Ying Ji is Da Zong Bo, and according to the rules of the Ying clan, he also serves as the clan leader.

It stands to reason that when the Xiaocui family was in turmoil, this great clan master had the right to intervene in many matters, but what is puzzling is that he did not pay much attention to it, including the death of the two princes, the clan being purged by Xiaocui, and later the death of the empress dowager and the escape of the emperor, he seemed to have not asked about it.

However, when the Ying family was already stable, the empress was in power, the power was unprecedented, and the country was stable, he wanted to jump out and make trouble, which made people confused.

Jiang Fan also sighed while walking, mainly because the road was too long. How far can it be from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain? The problem is that the ancestral temple is an important place, and you can't use the light body skills to travel quickly, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful.

Jiang Fan didn't want to give people a chance to talk, so he had to walk up step by step, and then he had to pay homage to every ancestor's tomb when he passed by, resulting in a road that could be reached in a cup of tea, but it took two hours to walk.

We arrived at the foot of Tangwu Mountain at noon, and only reached the top of the mountain at dusk. We were speechless.

The Ying Clan Temple was high on the mountain top. It was quite large, covering an area of ​​no less than 30 acres. There seemed to be hundreds of houses, with a typical dark blue architectural style of the old Qin Dynasty. The most spacious and tallest in the center was the ancestral hall.

What surprised Jiang Fan a little was that he didn't see anyone all the way into the ancestral hall, not even the servants.

It was not until he pushed open the door of the ancestral hall that he saw a tall man in a green robe kneeling in front of the tablets of the ancestors of the Ying Clan.

Jiang Fan didn't speak immediately. He looked at the furnishings in the room and then set his eyes on the man's back.
