The genealogy is not a book that only records the descendants of marriages. It is only an important part of the genealogy. In addition, the genealogy will be divided into two categories. One is to record the major events in the family and the life of important family children. He has assisted three kings, served as the first assistant, and served as the emperor's teacher. During the period, his outstanding contributions to the country and the family will be recorded one by one. Even some of the educative words he said to the younger generation of the clan will be recorded as small stories in the genealogy. middle.

  The second is to record the secret affairs of the clan. If the former is still more praise than derogation, then this is realistic and even criticized. And the secret matter is not only related to the Qin family, but sometimes also involves the imperial court and other aristocratic families, and even the secret matter from hearsay will be recorded in it. the meaning of.

   Therefore, historians often ask to read the genealogy of a certain period of the family. Even if they record not necessarily detailed and true, they are also historical materials of the same period, which can provide them with great historical help in studying history.

And the genealogy is never only in the hands of one person, it is jointly held by several people in the family, and only the head of the family is qualified to read it without the consent of all members, because there are too many secrets involved, not Anyone can see it.

   Generally speaking, these things are handled by loyal servants, and at least five clan elders are jointly managed. If you want to check the genealogy of a certain period, you must obtain the consent of at least three clan elders.

   Qin Chengyu is the patriarch, but he can only read the genealogy that records the in-laws and descendants of the clan, and he is not qualified for the other two.

   So he didn't know many secrets of the clan, but now that Gu Jingyun was so clear about the origin of a rockery in the clan, how could he not change his color.

   Qin Xinfang can consult the three types of genealogy at will, and he may even memorize them all, and then teach Gu Jingyun as a successor.

   This means that Qin Shi has almost no secrets in front of Gu Jingyun, except for the secret affairs of the past fifteen years, he may know everything.

This kind of feeling of being stripped of clothes for others to watch is very uncomfortable, but thinking of his decision that he made up in the morning, he can only take a deep breath to suppress his dissatisfaction, and he smiled and turned into the courtyard and said with a smile: "Cousin and Is your cousin awake?"

  Gu Jingyun looked over, nodded with a smile: "The third cousin is also very early."

"Last night, Yingzhi County was drunk and rested in the village. He said that he would raise money to redeem the house deed in the past two days, but I don't think it would be so troublesome. It was redeemed by our Qin family. For the sake of better management, the deeds have been distributed to all the houses over the years. Now it is only a matter of time to take it back. It is better to let the county government pay the IOUs first, and everyone will bring the deeds to the register, and advance the deeds. You should arrange some for you as soon as possible. As for the redemption money, anyway, it will be confiscated, so there is no rush. Let the county government pay back the money after the money from the treasury is allocated. You should know that the county is an official ten in Runing. They have known each other for seven years, and they are very trustworthy at this point."

  The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth was slightly raised, "As long as the clan doesn't mind, Jingyun can't ask for it. I also want to rush back to the capital to celebrate the New Year with my uncle a few years ago. When things are over, Jingyun must hold a banquet in the city to thank all the cousins."

   Hearing that Gu Jingyun was going back to Beijing for the Chinese New Year, Qin Chengyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the smile on his face became more genuine, and nodded: "Don't worry, no one in the clan will have an opinion on this matter."

   A well-run store was taken back, how could everyone have no opinion?

   However, no matter how big the opinion is, it seems trivial after Qin Laoliu hinted at the adoption last night.

  Compared with these petty profits, the inheritance of the family and the continuation of the direct branch are the big things.

  Everyone secretly wanted to recommend their son/grandson/great-grandson to Qin Xinfang. They are the Qin family. Gu Jingyun's surname is Gu, how can he adopt him?

   I don't know if it will be too late for them to go to the capital to join Qin Xinfang next year, but before that, they must dispel Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu's thoughts of adopting.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu found out that they had adopted the big sword hanging over the heads of everyone, and everyone was a lot more polite to them. The property was recovered very quickly. In only two days, all the land deeds and house deeds were returned to their hands, and even Qin Chengyu quickly responded. His son vacated a small yard for his son and daughter-in-law to move out of the main house.

   In the entire main house, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu live only in the guest yard.

  Gu Jingyun disliked walking too far from the main road, so he had people open the corner door at the south corner and go in and out from there.

Gu Jingyun closed the corner door and was about to ask Erlin to lock the door when he heard a thin voice in his ears. He paused and turned to look over there. There are two osmanthus trees planted there, which should be some years old. The trunk is thick, and the moonlight casts a shadow on the branches and the wall, as if there are terrible monsters hidden inside.

  Erlin saw that the master suddenly stopped moving, he followed his gaze in fear, and said tremblingly: "Old, sir, what is there?"

   Gu Jingyun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly, "Ghost!"

   "Ah—" Erlin's eyes widened, and two figures floated out from behind the osmanthus tree. His legs trembled and he couldn't help screaming.

   The two shadows who came out and Gu Jingyun were both startled by Er Lin and did not move for a while.

  Gu Jingyun looked at his coachman helplessly, he was just joking, is this man serious?

   Li Baolu, who was sitting cross-legged on the soft couch meditating, jumped up after hearing Erlin's exclamation, and ran out without wearing her shoes.

   Ziluo, who came in with some snacks, only felt a gust of wind passing by, and the plate in her hand almost fell. She felt wrong, looked up at the room, and exclaimed: "Zishan, where's Mrs. Biao?"

  The purple shirt had just cut off the lights to make the room brighter. Hearing this, he turned around and said, "What are you calling, isn't Mrs. Biao here?"

   Zishan's fingers stiffened, and her eyes widened at the soft couch. When she cut the lantern flowers with scissors, Mrs. Biao was sitting cross-legged on the couch.

   Looking at the shoes on the ground, the two girls' faces turned pale, and their eyes couldn't help but float around the room.

   Why do good people suddenly disappear?

  The main house has been built for 800 years. There must be a lot of people who have died unjustly here, and they have not lived there for 15 years, and the yang energy is not enough. Maybe...

  The two little girls leaned against each other, staring at the surroundings with pale faces.

   At this time, Li Baolu ran to Gu Jingyun's side. Seeing him standing safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter, what happened?"

  Li Baolu grabbed Gu Jingyun's hand and touched him up and down, left and right, making sure that he was not hurt at all, and then stared at Erlin, "Why are you screaming at night?"

   Erlin pointed his fingers to the left with trembling fingers.

Li Baolu had found out that there were still two people standing there, but she didn't take it to heart. At this time, seeing Er Lin was so frightened, she turned her head to look. She had good eyesight and was not night blind. of the two.

   He was in his 40s and looked at him with embarrassment.

   "Who are you, why did you come to the main house so late?" Li Baolu asked with a frown.

   Seeing that Li Baolu didn't seem to have misunderstood that they were ghosts, the two immediately took a few steps forward and completely exposed their figures to the moonlight to show that they were really not ghosts.

   "Master Biao, wife Biao, don't forget the servants, I used to be a messenger in the main house."

   The people beside him also hurriedly saluted: "Little Qin Bin, I have seen Mr. Biao, Mrs. Biao."

   Mo Wang and Qin Bin? Li Baolu glanced at Gu Jingyun.

  Gu Jingyun just looked them up and down for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let Erlin take you to the study first."

Gu Jingyun glanced at Erlin, Erlin blushed and was busy leading the way for the two of them. Only then did he realize that the master was joking with him just now, but he screamed as if he was serious. !

Erlin walked in front with a blushing face, Mo Wang and Qin Bin whispered to him with some uneasiness on their faces: "Brother Erlin scared you? We hid in the shadows because we had to avoid people. , I didn't mean to scare you..."

   "No, I don't blame you," Erlin blushed, "It's all because I'm too timid..."

   After the three of them were gone, Gu Jingyun walked up to Li Baolu and squatted down, saying with a stern face, "Come up."

Li Baolu coughed lightly, and happily lay on his back, Gu Jingyun weighed it, it didn't feel too heavy, but still said: "Next time I run out and don't wear shoes, I'll drag you back, and I won't carry you again. "

  Li Baolu pouted, "Didn't I worry about you, how long does it take to put on shoes? But I didn't realize that Erlin was so timid before, just two shadows scared him like that?"

Of course Gu Jingyun wouldn't explain that he scared Erlin, changed the subject and said, "Mo Wang and Qin Bin are here, and others will definitely try to get in touch with us. If you go back to the inn tomorrow, you were caught by Many of the servants released by my uncle are no longer in Qinjia Village. It is difficult for them to enter the village to find us, but it is easy to go to the inn. You ask Zigui to help the statistician, and then bring them to Qinjia Village for me. "

   "Aren't you avoiding the Qin family?"

   Gu Jingyun was silent for a while before saying: "No, it's better for us to be more aggressive towards Niuniu."

  Li Baolu stopped asking.

Gu Jingyun walked into the main room with Li Baolu on his back, and the shoes made a clattering sound when he stepped on the floor. The two girls who were thinking wildly in the room searched the room and didn't find Li Baolu. They screamed and hugged each other, closing their eyes and daring not to look at the door.

   The little couple was startled by the sound, Gu Jingyun walked into the room after a pause, saw the two girls hugging each other and crying, and asked with a heavy face, "Why are you crying?"

Ziluo dared to open her eyes and saw Li Baolu sitting on the couch while Gu Jingyun was standing by the couch. She immediately fell to her knees and cried, "Mrs. Biao, where have you been? I thought, thought you..."

  Li Baolu smiled and said, "Do you think I was captured by demons and ghosts?"

   Ziluo realized that this statement was inappropriate, but still nodded under the gaze of the two masters.

  Gu Jingyun pulled off his robe and sat down on the soft couch. He asked indifferently, "My Qin family is upright and generous. How come there are monsters and ghosts in the main house? Who are you listening to these rumors?"
