Seeing that Yin Ranyi's expression was normal and didn't seem to have much to say, Le Zhengli smiled and didn't ask any further questions, but instead studied the bronze mirror in his hand.

In ancient times, mirrors were not used to straighten people's clothes at the beginning, but existed as a sacrificial ritual vessel, and their status was also very high. In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, only nobles could use them. It was not until the late Western Han Dynasty because With the improvement of the economic level and the development of the smelting industry, it went to the private sector.

But now in the hands of Lezheng Li, the bronze mirror is clean and has no extra decorative patterns. This is obviously very different from the common folk manufacturing method, because most of the bronze mirrors used to reflect the portraits are thick and heavy. The carved patterns on the back of the inscriptions are extremely rich, and they can be regarded as exquisite handicrafts if they are placed at home on weekdays; but even if they were used for sacrifices in ancient times, they were not so pure that they did not have a trace of decoration. There are a lot, but obviously it won't be the bronze mirror in his hand.

He raised his fingers and tapped the surface of the bronze mirror lightly, and the mirror body made a low and round sound. It didn't look like a new object imitated in modern times. Lezheng Li asked the ancestor: "What was this thing used for before? You always Is it for daily use on the dresser?"

The old ancestor shook his head and said: "This thing should have been at home for some years, I don't remember what it was used for before, it seems to have been placed on the dresser all the time, waiting for me to trace the pattern It was only put in the dark compartment."

The three of them walked down the small building while talking, Yin Ranyi took a step first, and raised his hand to support the old man. The old ancestor did not refuse, and stretched out his hand for Yin Ranyi to support with a smile, saying: "Let's meet now." Let's go to the temple."

"Go to the ancestral hall?" Both Le Zhengli and Yin Ranyi were taken aback, but the old man smiled and asked, "Don't you two want to see the longevity lock?"

Lezheng Li said nervously, "Old Ancestor, we still have to walk to the ancestral hall for a while, so don't get tired."

Although the old man looks healthy, but after all, his age is a factor, so the family members are very careful for fear that the old man will be exhausted after walking a few more steps.

"The old ancestor knew it well, it's okay to go this far." The old man turned to comfort Le Zhengli, "If I get tired, I'll tell you right away, this time it's done, right?"

Le Zhengli saw that the old man seemed to be very interested, and couldn't bear to brush off the old ancestor's intentions, so he pointed the bronze mirror in his hand in the direction of Yin Ranyi, and said with a smile: "Then if the old ancestor is tired, let Yin Ranyi Ran Yi carries you back, and you will also enjoy the service of your great-grandson's wife."

Yin Ranyi helped the old man downstairs with a blank expression, accepting the title of "great-grandson's wife", but when he walked to the corner, he glanced at Le Zhengli, who was still studying the mirror in his hand intently, Wanting to see if he could find any more peculiarities that he had overlooked, he felt a chill behind his back, and subconsciously looked up, but he didn't see anything, thinking that he was just thinking too much.

The ancestral hall of the Lezheng family has been honed over the years, and it was dilapidated due to reasons such as the Anti-Japanese War and the Cultural Revolution. It was not until the grandchildren of Lezheng Li and the others were born that Grandpa Lezheng led the family to start repairing the family tree and rebuilding the ancestral hall. This project It’s not something that can be done simply by talking about it, not to mention that the old man issued a deadly order and asked everything to follow the old rules. How to build the house and arrange the wood in the old way is also how to build and arrange the wood now, so until today the ancestral hall has only been repaired For the most part, there are still some partial houses behind the ancestral halls that have not yet been repaired.

The three of them came out from the back door and walked to the ancestral hall. In front of the door, there was a stele with a slap in the face, with the words "Lezheng Ancestral Hall" written in four big characters. At that time, we were afraid of being beaten, so our family buried it in the ground, and then dug it out and put it back here."

Yin Ranyi nodded, and heard the old man say again: "In the past, all weddings, funerals and birthday celebrations were held in the ancestral hall. Later, when the world became chaotic, everything in the family was kept simple, and there was no more excitement..." The old man The expression on the ancestor's face was quite emotional, Lezheng Li smiled at the side and said: "When Yin Ranyi and I return to the family tree, we will have a lively time."

"Then we have to take care of it. When the time comes, the family tree will be listed, but it will tie the two of you together!"

Lezheng Li smiled and nodded yes, turned his head and blinked at Yin Ranyi, which meant: Don't think about that weird fate all day long, even if there is no lifeline, we are still tied together at.

With a slight smile in his eyes, Yin Ranyi nodded towards him.

The Lezheng family's ancestral hall is a medium-sized ancestral hall with three paths and two entrances. Its location and layout are in line with Fengshui. There are some rhetoric such as Youzi Sun Fuzuo, but Yin Ranyi is proficient in this way from birth, and he can tell at a glance that the feng shui of this place is excellent.

The layout of this ancestral hall is more cautious than the layout of the house, because the tablets of the ancestors are all set up here, and a little carelessness can be bad luck or bad luck.

The number one feng shui secret technique is Qimen Dunjia. In its song "Yanbo Fishing Old Man Song", there is a saying: "Liujia Yuan is named Liuyi. The three wonders are Bingding. Yang Dun Shun Yi Qi reverse cloth. Yin Dun reverse Yi Qi goes straight." These four sentences are talking about the layout of the house. Yin Dun is not only a private house, but also an ancestral hall. The "Lezheng Ancestral Temple" stele is in position B, and it is vertically opposite to the gate of the house. The gate of the house is already in position C. You don't need to look at it to know that the end of the house on the tail must also be standing in position D.

Therefore, in Yin Ranyi's view, the ancestral hall in Lezheng Li's house fits the ranking layout of "Yanbo Fishing Old Man Song" in every way. The six appearances, three oddities, eight gates and nine stars are all in line with nature and human nature, not to mention the location and location , the single pines and cypresses on both sides of the front door seem to have carefully calculated their orientation before they were planted here. Lezheng Li once said that the repair progress was very slow because the old man insisted on following the ancient method to rebuild the ancestral hall, but now it seems I'm afraid that what the old man values ​​is actually the strangeness of the house, if he can't find one that is the same as before, then it's better to leave it empty so as not to break the feng shui.

It is definitely not an ordinary person who can handle such a situation. Yin Ranyi thought of the layout of Lezheng Li's mansion, and felt a little happy in his heart for some reason. The feng shui of both Yin and Yang houses is excellent, so Lezheng Li, who was born here and grew up here, also It is bound to be a smooth life. He has always been worried that Lezheng Li will not end well because of himself, but now it seems that he is worrying too much. Maybe the lifeline in his hand is not as overbearing as he imagined. At the same time as his own fate, he also wanted to destroy Le Zhengli's fate.

Thinking of this, he felt refreshed. Le Zhengli only knew that the mood of the man next to him suddenly improved, but he didn't know why. He could only hold the bronze mirror wrapped in his coat and look at him with some doubts. Ran Yisui didn't speak, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth with joy.
