Nongmen Shenjue
Chapter 251
I didn't expect that Rongdu would have a relationship with Yu Wanshuang, so it was a bit surprising.
On the information Gao Tian brought back, there was Yu Wanshuang's personal network, except for Yu's family, whose husband's family name was Yao.The population of the Yao family is simpler, with no parents-in-law and no close relatives. Her husband, Yao Zhan, has her eldest sister, Yao Lan.Yao Lan married Fengzhou far back then, and after her husband died, she brought her son Rongdu back to Songping Mansion to settle down.
It is said that Yao's family and Yu's family are old friends, so grandfather Yu made this marriage for Yu Wanshuang before his death.
Yao Zhan runs a restaurant in Fucheng: Zhiweixuan, which is very famous, and has branches elsewhere, which is quite well established.
"This Yao Zhan is only three years older than Yu Wanshuang, but he is very good at business. He knew that Weixuan was just a snack shop in the early years, and he made it to where he is today step by step. Probably his nephew Uncle Xiao. Yao Zhan himself is also outstanding in appearance and has read books. , Literary talent is quite good, and I have contacts with many literati and scholars." Listen, it is completely different from Rongdu's life, probably the biggest difference between the uncle and nephew.
"Why is Feng Xiuying so taboo about mentioning Yu Wanshuang?" Mu Qingyan murmured to himself, carefully reading Yu Wanshuang's biography.
One person taboos another person, either because he feels that the other person is a threat, or because he hates it, or because he has done something wrong.According to Feng Xiuying's reaction at the time, Mu Qingyan was inclined to the last guess.
This is kind of interesting.
Mrs. Li said that Yu Wanshuang and Tang Wanmei have a close relationship. As we all know, Feng Xiuying is Tang Wanmei's dependent follower, so there must be many intersections between Yu Wanshuang and Feng Xiuying.They should be in the same camp, what can Feng Xiuying do?And why do you do that?Do you think Yu Wanshuang is threatening her position in Tang Wan's eyes?
No, the status of the two was not equal from the beginning.
Even if Tang Wanmei didn't know much about this person, she didn't feel that she was the kind of person who would bend over to make friends.Feng Xiuying is just the daughter of a poor peasant family, and being a servant is optional, but Yu Wanshuang is different. The Yu family in Fucheng is a scholarly family. Even if she is not an official now, her reputation and connections are good things.
Wen Jixue said suddenly: "Aren't you wondering why the Tang family has a relationship with the county prince's mansion? Could it be because of Yu Wanshuang?"
"...How could the Yu family get involved with the county prince's mansion?" Mu Qingyan thought it was unlikely, since the Yu family would no longer be an official, if it was really that powerful, they wouldn't be able to resign.
"I remember that in the past few years, the king of Qianqian County had been ordered to inspect the military affairs of Xiang Province, and the local officials must entertain him. The Yu family has been a scholar for generations, and Grandpa Yu was a magistrate, so it is very likely that he will be invited to the banquet." It is the same everywhere, If any distinguished guests come, in line with the friendship of the landlord, there will be local officials, big and small, celebrities and gentry at the banquet to accompany them.
"Do you think that the Tang family knew about this and plotted secretly..." It's not impossible, but can it really go so smoothly?Even if it is done, what does it have to do with Feng Xiuying?
"I'm afraid Yu Wanshuang is clear about this matter." It's not easy to ask directly.
"Forget it, let's leave after the sacrifice here is over." The original goal has been achieved, and the rest is Wen Jixue's business, and it can't be done in a moment.
Wen Jixue nodded: "Leave Gao Tian at that time, don't ask if Feixian Town has anything to do with the previous dynasty, as long as the matter gets out, Duanjun King will fall." Bad luck will follow.He said again: "I plan to choose one from the princes."
"The Chen family didn't stand in line?" On the surface, the Chen family is a royalist party, but the world is unpredictable, and who knows if there is someone in the Chen family's heart.After all, the emperor was old, and the princes were ready to move, so it was so easy for the Chen family to stay out of it.
"The Chen family doesn't have close contact with the prince, but there must be someone in their hearts."
As the Qixi Festival approached, there were more and more people in the town, let alone the inns were full, even the farmers' houses were full of foreigners.In the past few days, Mu Qingyan didn't go out to eat, mainly because there were too many people and there was no empty seat, so he simply ate some simple food in the inn.The patrol team in the town was re-arranged, and even the county government sent more than [-] officials to guard the safety around the Fairy Temple.
Tang Wanmei also arrived.
There were many people who came to watch the sacrifice in the Fairy Maiden Temple, including wealthy businessmen and gentry. Tang Wanmei's team looked like an ordinary caravan, not too conspicuous.When Tang Wanmei returned to Feixian Town, she naturally lived in the Tang family.
It was not until three days before the sacrifice that Mu Qingyan learned the big news.
This time is not only the centenary sacrifice of the Fairy Temple, but also the day to determine the final successor of the fairy aunt and mother-in-law.
"The last time the fairy aunt and mother-in-law changed was more than 30 years ago. Now this fairy aunt is old and rarely manages things. She was not in good health and has been struggling until now. It is for this reason that Tang Fengfei was born in those two years. Lou Fengyang died one after another."
"Which family does that fairy aunt belong to?"
"It belongs to the Lou family." Wen Jixue explained again: "It should have been stipulated in the regulations long ago, so even if he became the successor, he would not be able to do anything for his family. The benefits he could get were stipulated early on, so the two families Only then did we make a fuss about the succession. The succession ceremony is very mysterious and never disclosed to the public. As long as a candidate appears, the temple will be opened wide and the succession ceremony will be held under the witness of the outside world."
"The Fairy Temple is very strict." Mu Qingyan really wanted to see the whole process of the sacrifice, but it was not easy for Wen Jixue to sneak in in broad daylight.
"You have supernatural powers, so you don't need to get too close. Let's go and see how the hundred-year sacrifice is going to be." Wen Jixue said with some sarcasm.
Indeed, despite the fact that the Hundred Years Sacrifice may sound like a big deal, it is actually a ceremony of fighting for power and profit.
On the seventh day of July, before dawn, Feixian Town was already a sea of lights.
Many people got up early, had breakfast, chatted, stopped at the foot of the street, and looked in the direction of the Fairy Temple.Although I know that the temple gate is closed and I can't see anything, I came here for the sacrificial ceremony, so it's good to hear the sound because I'm close at hand.When the gate of the temple opens, you can seize the opportunity, and if you are lucky, you can even grab a stick of incense.
Qixi Qiqiao is also a meeting of fairies and cowherds, and the Fairy Temple is the most spiritual place for seeking marriage. It has become a day of celebration for young men and women every year.The colorful lanterns in the town are mostly red and pink, lotus leaves and lotus flowers, magpies climbing plums, boys holding fish...
After Mu Qingyan finished washing up, he and Wen Jixue had breakfast in the room.
Before Maoshi arrives, the streets outside are crowded with people, chattering loudly, and various hawkers are also enthusiastically selling.
At this moment, no one was allowed to enter Fairy Mountain, and Tang and Lou's family servants set up a fence around the foot of the mountain to guard it, and there was a big battle.People in Feixian Town are used to this, and outsiders have heard about it, but they were still surprised when they saw it. The locals talked about the origin of the Fairy Temple and various rumors about the rules.
The Tang and Lou families got ready earlier. At this time, they saw the gates of the two families opened together, and two long dragons walked quietly on the mountain road and merged into the Fairy Temple.
On such a day, there were absolutely no outsiders in the temple, even the second housekeeper who was ordered by the county king to send Tang Wanmei back, only stayed in the Tang family.
Wen Jixue ordered Gao Tianjiao Li to be on guard, and then took Mu Qingyan to find a blind spot to raise his breath, and using the trees as a fulcrum, made a few leaps, nimbly walked through the forest, and finally reached the top of the mountain.
There are lights hanging on the courtyard walls of the Fairy Temple, which are very bright, mainly for tight rings.There are tall towers in the temple, and people live on a high ground. With the help of bright lights on the courtyard wall, anyone who wants to climb in will be found.This is the second means of defense. The first layer of defense is the government servants who are constantly wandering outside the courtyard wall.Inside the courtyard wall is a team formed by the children of Tang and Lou.
In addition, the fairies in the temple were not sent back home, but stayed in the field in front of the main hall.
Early in the morning, the fairies first finished their morning classes, and then proceeded step by step.
At the beginning of Maoshi, music came from the temple, which represented the official start of the sacrifice.
Wen Jixue chose a tree that was closer to the Fairy Temple and hid in it.
The surroundings of the Fairy Temple are too bright, there are two layers of people inside and outside, and there are surveillance on the heights. Even if Wen Jixue's light kung fu is good, I can't say that I won't be discovered.He used his lightness kung fu to the extreme, calculating the blind spot of the inspector's line of sight, and there was a certain chance of sneaking in smoothly.But again, this is a matter of luck, and there is a certain chance of being discovered. Nowadays, the temple is very vigilant, and any abnormality will attract attention.
"Is it okay here?" The spy this time mainly relied on Mu Qingyan's ability.
"They're in the main hall, they're a little far away." Mu Qingyan frowned.
The main hall is in the center of the temple, and the fairy temple occupies a large area, and they dare not get close, so it is really difficult to spy from the current location.His ability is a sharp weapon for peeping, but it has a distance limit, but...
It suddenly occurred to him that his ability had evolved, and the backtracking time had become longer, so did the scope also expand?
With the mentality of giving it a try, he stretched out the supernatural tentacles, reached the previously defined range, did not stop, and tried to extend one meter outward.Getting used to the established scope is like a hood, and it is not so easy to break it.He increased the power output, continued to test little by little, like water dripping through a stone, vaguely felt that the cover was getting thinner, and then poked hard...
With a muffled snort, his face turned pale.
"Ayan!" Wen Jixue was startled.
Mu Qingyan quickly waved his hands and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I can see it."
After trying it, the range really expanded, extending about ten meters outward.Don't underestimate ten meters, just breaking through this distance, his ability can finally cover the location of the main hall.The main hall is too large to be completely covered, but it is good enough to cover two-thirds of the area.
In front of the gate of the main hall, the fairies sat neatly in a mat, and everyone bowed their heads in silence, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
The main hall was closed tightly, and there were four elder fairy maidens standing on both sides of the door. It was known without asking, that these eight people must be members of the Tang and Lou families.
Gathering the fairies here is obviously to participate in the sacrifice and welcome the new successor.In fact, it is also equivalent to guarding, preventing people from being scattered and making mistakes.
At this moment, the music had stopped, and the hall was silent, but in fact, many people gathered here.
On the information Gao Tian brought back, there was Yu Wanshuang's personal network, except for Yu's family, whose husband's family name was Yao.The population of the Yao family is simpler, with no parents-in-law and no close relatives. Her husband, Yao Zhan, has her eldest sister, Yao Lan.Yao Lan married Fengzhou far back then, and after her husband died, she brought her son Rongdu back to Songping Mansion to settle down.
