Tricked by a ferocious beast into time-traveling, the story begins with fleeing famine.

Qingyan was greedy for this bite, but the loach was still vomiting mud after it was just cooked, so she just let it play for a while. When she arrived in Yanghe County in the evening, she would find a place to buy a piece of tofu and make loach drill tofu to eat at night.

No one caught up with him after that, and I don’t know whether it was because the time was relatively short and the other side hadn’t noticed anything strange yet, or it was just these few people and there were no other people who were paid to commit the crime.

They didn't meet anyone else along the way. There was a group of people about ten miles behind them before, but when they were resting, the other party was also resting, so they probably couldn't meet them.

After they finished eating and went on the road again, they met several waves of people, all coming from the villages on the roadside. Some were going to work in the fields, and some were going to the county town to buy things.

Those who went to work in the fields quickly left the official road, and those who went to the county town mostly pushed carts or walked, so they were soon left behind.

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at Yanghe County. This county was very similar to a county they had passed before. The county was surrounded by water, like a moat, surrounding the county. The only road on one side was the west gate of the county. The other city gates lead to the pier.

The transportation here is very developed, because it can be transported by water, so Yanghe County is quite prosperous, with many merchants coming and going.

After paying the fee to enter the city, Xiang Yingzhong took them back home directly. His home was in the west of the city, not far from the city gate.

His house is very large, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres according to visual inspection. Although it is not as beautiful as the Suzhou and Hangzhou gardens, it is still very charming.

Ancient houses were very particular. Whether it was a courtyard or a cloister, or even a tree or a cluster of flowers, Feng Shui knowledge was embedded in it.

Hanging on the tall gatehouse is a door plaque with gold characters on a black background, and the two characters Xiang Zhai are written on it.

Although some regulations were not very strict at this time, not everyone could use the word "fu". It could only be used by people with status or official status. Therefore, some wealthy families could only use the word "zhai" even if their courtyards were large.

Entering inside is the front yard, which is a large and spacious yard with stone slabs on the ground, running water flowing through the wall, and flowers, plants and a pavilion on the side.

Their ox cart and horses were taken over by Xiang's servants, and they were taken to the middle courtyard, which is the living room of the main courtyard, by Xiang Yingzhong.

Xiang Yingzhong greeted Qingyan and the others: "Please sit down, please, just treat it as your own home, don't be formal."

Several people sat down on the chairs in the hall, and soon the servants served tea and snacks.

Qingyan and Yuanbao were not polite, and directly picked up the delicious-looking snacks and put them in their mouths. Well, they were soft, sweet, not choking, and still hot. They must have been newly made.

Xiang Yingzhong had just asked for their opinions and ordered the housekeeper at home to deal with the four horses.

The few chatted in the hall for a while, mainly to introduce Ying Zhong to them the characteristics of Yanghe County and their business.

After listening to his introduction to the members of their family, Qingyan and the others knew that he was the head of the Xiang family.

I originally thought that he should have parents or brothers at home. After all, when he goes out, there must be someone at home to take care of the overall situation.

Unexpectedly, his parents had passed away and he had no brothers. He did have two sisters, both of whom had married out of town. When he went out, he relied on his wife to support him at home.

This is true. If he hadn't met them, this guy wouldn't have been able to come back. I'm afraid this Xiangzhai would have to change his master.

The surname will not be changed. Although his wife can support the business, it is only while he is still there. If he disappears, the Xiang family members will be the first to stand up and seize the property.

It is worth mentioning that he does not have children yet. I heard that he and his wife have been married for five years and have no children.

It's not his wife's problem. Although he doesn't have any concubines, he still has a concubine. It was just to test whether he could have children, and if he did, he would take her as a concubine, but nothing happened.

He saw many doctors. He didn't go to Changjiang County to do business, but passed by on his way back. He went to Shending Mountain to seek a child. He heard that the masters there were very powerful. People who attended his Dharma meetings All benefited a lot.

Some who had been weak for many years became strong and healthy, some who were sickly never got sick again, and some who had been infertile for many years also had children, so they ran all the way there.

He set off just after the New Year, just to try to get there before the 16th of the first lunar month. Because he arrived early, he stayed in the county for a few days.

After attending the Dharma conference, he did feel that his body felt a little lighter, so he hurried back, thinking about coming back to see if he could have a future.

When I was passing through Changjiang County, I didn't know why, but I just thought that it was not far from Yanghe County, and I wanted to open a branch of my shop there.

When he went to the county town to inquire about the store, he met the four people. It was not that he was not vigilant, but that the four people went with the county government's master at that time, and the Ya people were even more respectful to them. He thought that the other party was very powerful.

Thinking that they should have some connections in the local area, I took the opportunity to get in touch with them.

The other party asked for money from him several times, claiming that they had found a shop in the best location, and even took him to see it. However, the other party's asking price was too high, and they were able to lower the price, so he was fooled.

Unexpectedly, the other party was the second generation ancestor who was ignorant and unskilled. He took the money and didn't do anything at all. He just used it to eat, drink and gamble.

The day before yesterday, he heard that they went to Ruyi Building to argue with them. In the end, they said that he was stupid. He looked like a fat sheep and who would he kill if he didn't?

He couldn't get angry anymore, so he started fighting with the other party. At that time, he was also very angry, and he regretted it after he got angry.

The other party is the second generation ancestor, and his family must have some status. He beat them up openly and told them about cheating money. The adults in the other party's family will definitely not make it easy for him, so they left early the next morning. I have moved to Changjiang County and have no plans to open a branch there.

I just didn't expect that the other party would do something so cruel. He had already left, and he didn't plan to take the money he gave him. The other party still wanted his life.

You must know that he is the only member of the Xiang family. If he dies, he will be extinct. If he has no descendants, then all the inheritance they have laid will belong to the Xiang clan. He will definitely not willingly.

After hearing what he said, Qingyan sent a message to Chou Chou: "Is it because my physiognomy is too shallow? I don't think his face looks like he has no descendants.

His face should be the kind of person with profound blessings. At first glance, this person is not the kind of person who does bad things, and his family should be considered a good family. "

Qingyan was right about this. The Xiang Yingzhong family was indeed a good family, otherwise he would not have said that the Xiang family was famous in Yanghe County. From his great-grandfather's generation, he was a well-known good person in Yanghe County. His family would donate a lot of money when there was any disaster or disaster.

Because this place is surrounded by water on three sides, there is often the danger of the embankment bursting during the flood season. At this time, Xiangjia will donate money to help repair the embankment and build shelters and provide porridge to the homeless, so it is really a home that accumulates charity. .

Even if such a family is not full of descendants, there is no reason that it will become increasingly thin and weak, and even if it comes to him, it will be extinct.

Chou Shangyan also looked at Xiang Yingzhong's face and felt that Qingyan was right. His face did not look like that of a widower without a parent.

Not only he but also the early death of his parents were a little strange. Before, they thought they had parents and brothers at home because he looked like he had both parents and a lot of brothers. Now the facts are different from his. His appearance is just the opposite. He is the only one left in the family, and he has no children.

So they asked about gold. After all, it was longer than they had been exposed to physiognomy, so they should be more proficient in it.

Huang Jin looked at it carefully, and then directly asked Xiang Yingzhong's birth date.

Although Xiang Yingzhong didn't know why, Huang Jin was one of his saviors. Although he looked wretched, his temperament still felt a bit like an immortal. After all, he had been with his master for a long time, so he had Zhengzheng was influenced by Taoism.

He told me his birth date happily without any precaution or fear that his birth date would be used to do bad things.

When Huang Jin heard his birth date, he calculated it with his fingers, and then frowned.

He said to him: "I just looked at your face and measured your birth date. You should have been blessed with profound blessings. You have both parents and you will have many children. You will have many children and grandchildren, and two or three brothers." That's right.

And now your fate has completely changed. Not only are your parents dead, you have no brothers, and there is also a sign of death. If it weren't for your fate, you might have died early. "

Xiang Yingzhong was stunned, and then said at a loss: "You, you are still a Taoist priest? So... why is this? Is there a way to solve it?"

He didn't doubt why Gold could tell fortunes. Although the other party didn't wear a robe, he still had some aura.

Huang Jin nodded, "I am a student of Longgai Mountain Cultivation Temple, and I am somewhat involved in numerology and physiognomy. To tell you the truth, when I saw you before, I thought you should have both parents and brothers to help you. Only when I got here did I realize that You are the only one left, and you have no heirs, so I feel a little strange."

Jin Yang also did the math and found that it was like this, which was strange.

After all, Qingyan had watched a lot of TV dramas, and had also read the Novel novel with her mother, so she immediately guessed: "Could there be some evil cultivator who cast some evil spell? Or some kind of fortune-changing scheme. Formation?

For example, when I see that Boss Xiang has a good fortune but the other person's fortune is too bad, I change the fate of Boss Xiang to that of Boss Xiang. Some people can even change a person who is suffering from bad luck to good luck. "

Jin Yang looked at her first, then looked at Xiang Yingzhong, nodded and said, "It is indeed possible. Is it convenient for us to see the layout of this house?"

It also thought of its former master. Yin Jin had absorbed the luck of the entire village to support his soul and became an immortal existence. He also wanted to use future generations to resurrect. This kind of thing is not impossible. As long as he puts it aside Just a formation will do.

Of course Xiang Yingzhong would not refuse and personally led them around the yard.

First, they went to the front yard. They only walked into the yard and did not enter the house. This was just for show. In fact, they mainly used their spiritual sense to explore.

I looked carefully at the front yard and found nothing wrong, so I followed Xiang Yingzhong to the back yard.

Zhongyuan'er had just seen it. After all, he had been sitting there before, so of course he had seen it first.

After arriving at the backyard, I took a look at the three courtyards at the back on the nine-wind corridor.

Then Jin Yang pointed to the courtyard to the northeast and asked, "Is this the courtyard where you and your wife live now?"

Xiang Yingzhong nodded: "Yes, this is the courtyard where our husband and wife live now. We have lived in it since we got married. But what's the problem?"

Jin Yang asked: "Did that courtyard catch fire before and be burned down? Then it was rebuilt."

Xiang Yingzhong's eyes widened. He had really met an expert. He knew this!
He nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, that yard was originally my grandparents' yard. There was an inexplicable fire more than ten years ago, and the entire house was burned down.

At that time, my grandparents had just passed away half a year ago. Originally, my parents wanted to move into the yard with the largest and best repairs. Because of the fire, they moved to the yard on the west side and it was not rebuilt until I got married.

Unexpectedly, my parents passed away just a year after we moved in. I got married in a warm filial piety. In fact, my wife and I were already quite old at that time. If we kept our filial piety for another three years, the government would force us to get married.

I didn't think about it that much before. When we got married, we were directly in the main courtyard. Could it be that this courtyard is the reason why my family has ended up like this? "

Jin Yang nodded and shook his head, "Yes and no, there is no problem with this yard, but the problem is the bed in your master bedroom.

That Babu bed should not be your wife's dowry, it was prepared by your family. "

Xiang Yingzhong glanced at Jin Yang in surprise. He didn't expect that he also knew that this was actually a bit against the rules and it would be embarrassing to say it. However, he nodded honestly and did not dare to hide anything.

"Yes, my in-law's family originally made all the furniture. When it was delivered, it collided with another boat and overturned the boat. All the furniture on the boat sank in the water. We had to rebuild it before the wedding. It was too late to build it, so I bought it ready-made at a high price.

But at that time, we couldn't buy this Batu bed at all, so we had to use my grandmother's dowry. When she got married, she brought two Bab beds with her. This one has not been used and has been kept in the warehouse, so it is still new. of.

Is it a problem with this bed? No, my grandparents and parents have never used this bed. According to what Brother Huang just said, there should be problems since my grandparents were here.

But this bed was only used by us, shouldn’t it be the beginning of our misfortune? "

Jin Yang nodded and said: "There is a formation on that bed, which is used to prevent children from having many heirs. It would be fine if it was placed in another courtyard, but you placed it in the northeastern courtyard.
