Quick Wear: I raised this little wolf cub

Chapter 536: Love of the Year (39)

Wutong Ancient Lane Shi Family Old House

The convoy stopped in front of an ancient old house. A large group of people were waiting at the door of the house. From a distance, it looked like a party to welcome the emperor back from his travels among the people, which was consistent with the actual situation.

After the car came to a complete stop, Shi Ling got out first and wanted to go around to the back to open the door for Shi Yuan.

But Shi Yan was quicker. He opened the car door for Shi Yuan first, bowed his head and said respectfully, "Shi Yan, the 128th head of the Shi family, greets the ancestor."

Shi Yuan nodded in response, "No need to be polite."

After hearing this, Shi Yan retracted his arm that was stretched out to support Shi Yuan, and moved aside to allow Shi Yuan to get out of the car.

After Shi Yuan got off the car, Shi Yan and all the Shi family members behind him bowed to Shi Yuan and said, "Junior greets the ancestor."

Actually, they should have done the kneeling ceremony, but the Shi family had so many descendants in this generation that it was difficult to kneel in front of the door of the old house, so they changed it to the bowing ceremony.

Shi Yuan raised his hand and said, "Now is not the past, there is no need to perform such empty formalities in the future."

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, ancestor."

Shi Yan took a step forward and gestured to Shi Yuan, "Grandfather, breakfast has been prepared for you, please come in."

Shi Yuan did not walk forward, but stretched out a hand to Yun Shen behind him. Yun Shen smiled and placed his palm into the palm of his little wolf cub.

Shi Yuan held Yun Shen's hand and walked along the bluestone road into the old house of the Shi family, under the curious and excited gazes of everyone in the Shi family.

After Shi Yuan and Yun Shen entered the old house, most of the people at the door of the old house dispersed. Those who left were naturally some side branches of the Shi family and unimportant people, and the rest were the main figures of the Shi family.

After Shi Yuan and Yun Shen entered the dining hall, there were even fewer people following them, leaving only Shi Yan, Shi Wen, Shi Ling and Shi Nian.

After Shi Yuan and Yun Shen sat down, the other four were still standing, with no intention of sitting down.

Shi Yuan could only take the initiative to speak again, "Please sit down, no need to be so polite."

Only then did the four of them agree to sit down.

Yun Shen looked at the dishes on the table in front of him and finally understood why it was called a breakfast instead of a late meal, because the table was filled with imperial meals, without a single home-cooked dish.

On Yun Shen's left hand side are "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" and "Dragon Roaring in the Nine Skies", on his right hand side are "Jade Shattering Three Disappearances" and "Watching Flowers in the Rain", and right in the center in front of him are "Eternal Life Porridge" and "Pearl of the Sea".

In short, each dish is a complex delicacy that is time-consuming and labor-intensive and difficult to complete by one person. These dishes can only be called early meals, not breakfast.

Seeing that Shi Yuan didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, Shi Yan asked, "Grandfather, are these dishes not to your liking? Time is indeed a bit tight, and the chefs at home only had time to make these few dishes."

Shi Yuan didn't care about the food on the table, he only cared about Yun Shen beside him, "Shen Shen, do you like these dishes?"

Yun Shen was immediately stared at by everyone at the table. He had no choice but to be the first to pick up his chopsticks. After Yun Shen picked up a piece of Luo Yu Guan Hua and swallowed it, he replied, "I like it. It's delicious."

After confirming that Yun Shen really liked it, Shi Yuan started to pick up his chopsticks, but the other four remained silent.

Yun Shen couldn't stand being stared at while eating breakfast, so he could only take the initiative to greet them, "Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together."

Shi Yuan also echoed, "Let's use it together."

The four of them then started to eat, but before Shi Nian started, he looked at Yun Shen calmly. They had the same name and surname, was it a coincidence?

After finishing their breakfast together, they went to another courtyard.

The Shi family's old house has a total of 72 courtyards and more than 1000 houses of various sizes. The old house was built two thousand years ago and has been the residence of the Shi family from generation to generation since its completion.

After each head of the Shi family takes office, the first thing he does is to renovate the old house, so the old house is a mixture of the old and the new.

Yanyunyuan

After Shi Yuan sat down, he directly asked the question that concerned him the most, "Where is the Shi Family Ancestral Hall?"

Shi Yan was a little surprised that Shi Yuan would ask this question first, but he still answered, "Ancestor, the ancestral hall is in the southernmost courtyard."

Shi Yuan then stated his purpose, "I want to go to the ancestral hall to see my portrait."

Shi Yan was a little embarrassed, "Grandfather, except for the day of ancestor worship, you are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall at other times."

Shi Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Why, can't I go?"

Shi Yan waved his hand, "That's not the case. Although we can't enter on weekdays, you, the ancestor, can of course go in. However, the ancestral hall will be cleaned before the ancestor worship day, and almost no one cleans it at other times for fear of disturbing the ancestors' peace. Therefore, there is a lot of dust in the ancestral hall, and I am afraid that I will offend you."

Shi Yuan waved his hand, "It's okay, go and take a look."

Shi Yan could only respond, "Yes, ancestor, I will order someone to open the lock right away."

Shi Family Ancestral Hall

As the wooden door was pushed open, the tiny amount of dust raised by the wind appeared in the sunlight, and Yun Shen raised his hand to cover the tip of his nose.

Shi Yuan no longer cared about these things, his only focus was on the portraits in the ancestral hall.

After the wooden door was completely opened, Shi Yuan stepped over the threshold and entered the ancestral hall. Yun Shen looked at Shi Yan beside him and asked, "Can I come in?"

Shi Yan nodded repeatedly, "Master Yun, of course you can go in."

When Yun Shen heard Shi Yan's name, he subconsciously twirled his fingers, but did not ask any more questions. He just turned and entered the Shi family ancestral hall.

Because there was something Yun Shen wanted to see in the Shi family ancestral hall, and that was the Shi family genealogy.
