Chapter 206
Chapter 206
When Lu Yongle entered Yan's house, although the butler quickly brought hot tea and snacks, the young man only had time to take a few sips before being led by Yan Jun to do business.
It's not a complicated thing, just remove makeup, take a shower and wash your hair seriously.Lu Yongle also saw incense in Yan Jun's bathroom, and smelled it carefully, it seemed to have a woody smell, which really fit Yan Jun's temperament.
"Speaking of it, this is equivalent to burning incense and taking a bath, right?"
The young man walked out of the bathroom wiping his hair, looked at the man standing in front of the closet in the room - he had already washed it in another bathroom - and said with a smile: "I thought it would be like a TV series, offering incense first, and then some special water Soaking in..."
"It's just a habit before entering the ancestral hall. Clean yourself up a little bit, and don't ask for incense to take a bath." Yan Jun turned to find a hair dryer for the young man, "...you just take a bath, where did you get the incense?"
"There is aromatherapy in your bathroom, don't you know?" The young man walked over, without taking the hair dryer, and consciously stood in front of the man, turned around and waited to enjoy the service of his partner, "It's a bit woody, but it's not for the shower. Sometimes the body wash and shampoo are more smelly, so you can't smell the aromatherapy... Don't you know you have this in your room?"
"...I haven't been back for a long time, maybe the housekeeper let me go." Seeing the little blood clan in front of him as "Master", Yan Jun helped him dry his hair without any complaints, "But it must have never happened before."
"Well... I see." Lu Yongle thought for a while, then laughed softly, "Does Brother Yan know what the sense of woody fragrance is?"
"what?"
"It's a mature and sexy man." The young man was in front, smiling behind his back, "Mature and sexy Brother Yan, wow, it sounds like the butler is also working hard to improve Brother Yan's charm value."
Amidst the sound of blowing wind, the man who was blowing the young man's hair moved his fingers and pinched the back of the young man's neck: "Be honest."
"Why am I dishonest?" The young man continued to laugh in front, "I didn't move."
Yan Jun stopped talking and continued to dry his hair.
Lu Yongle's hair was limp and floaty, and it dried in a while.When Yan Jun turned off the hair dryer, Lu Yongle turned around and opened his hand towards him: "Brother Yan, did you buy this set of home clothes for me?"
The home clothes are made of coral fleece inside and out, which are soft and comfortable, and also have a giraffe pattern, which makes the youth look very cute.Yan Jun looked at him, his Adam's apple moved, and he looked away first.
While putting away the hair dryer, he replied, "Please, the housekeeper prepared it."
Lu Yongle hugged the man's waist from behind, and lay on top of him: "Then how does the butler know my size?"
Yan Jun said, "I said so."
"Then I still have to thank Brother Yan!" Lu Yongle let go of his hand a little bit, let Yan Jun turn around, and then leaned forward and touched the man's lips, "This is not just checking in with a bag, I just bring someone here, good Brother Yan Caring! Love you!"
Yan Jun stared at him for two seconds, then pinched the man's chin, restrained and kissed him tenderly.
After the kiss, Lu Yongle looked at him unblinkingly.Although he didn't speak, the young man's eyes were filled with brilliance, and his affection was very obvious.
The man couldn't help but kissed the eyes of the little blood race.
"This will be your home from now on, as long as you come back, you don't have to think too much."
"it is good."
***
At five o'clock, Yan Jun and Lu Yongle changed into simple and comfortable clothes, and walked to the Yan family's ancestral hall together, with the head of the Yan family leading the way.
Yan Jun explained to Lu Yongle that there was a prayer-like session before the ceremony.This is equivalent to telling the ancestors that the descendants of the Yan family have a partner, which is the link of "meeting the elders".To a certain extent, this is also the hope that the ancestors will bless the life force sharing ceremony to go smoothly, and together bless this partner of the Yan family in the future.
To be honest, if Lu Yongle didn't have the blood of returning to his ancestors, and hadn't come into contact with all kinds of capable people and strangers, he would definitely feel that this kind of "comforting ancestors" and "praying for blessings" is at best a psychological comfort.But now, things like extending life and sharing life are happening, Lu Yongle won't think too much about the Yan family's rules anymore.Even if the ancestors of the Yan family "appeared holy" in person at the ceremony, Lu Yongle would not find it unbelievable.
Under the premise of believing, when Lu Yongle does everything with Yan Jun, he will naturally become serious and pious.
The Yan family's ancestral hall is built in a wooden structure in a winding path.It's not the kind of magnificent large-scale building, but it looks very solemn.Originally, because of the dreary air due to the coming thunderstorm, Lu Yongle felt somewhat suffocated along the way.But the closer you get to the ancestral hall, the thinner the suffocation becomes, replaced by a quiet and indifferent feeling.
The young man felt that the atmosphere of the ancestral hall must have something to do with the rich history of the Yan family.And the "iceberg" calmness inherited from the head of the Yan family and Yan Jun is probably related to the influence of the atmosphere of the Yan family.
As for Yan Zhong, it's probably because "everything must be reversed"...
While the young man was thinking wildly, the three of them entered the ancestral hall together.
When crossing the threshold, Lu Yongle thought there were some rules, but he carefully observed the movements of the two men from the Yan family in front... There was no fixed pattern.
He hesitated before the threshold, Yan Jun quickly noticed, turned to him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Uh..." Lu Yongle hesitated, "Are there any rules when entering the door...?"
"What are the rules for entering?"
"Like, which foot goes in first or something?"
"In what age, there are not so many rules." Patriarch Yan replied in front, "Just be pious in your heart, and don't engage in so many red tapes."
"Okay." Lu Yongle stepped into the door and followed.
The ancestral hall is not a single transparent structure. The entrance is a hall with passages on both sides.From the back of the passage detour, there is also a main hall with two entrances.Patriarch Yan led the way, and Yan Jun led Lu Yongle to walk behind.Because Patriarch Yan just said that there are not too many rules, Lu Yongle boldly looked around.
In ancient costume TV dramas, places like ancestral halls are always made gloomy and cold, and being locked up for self-reflection seems to be killing people.But the Yan family's ancestral hall doesn't have a gloomy feeling, but it is somewhat "sinking".More precisely, it should be "serious".
The special aroma of wood permeates the air.This is not the same as the scent of aromatherapy in Yan Jun's bathroom, it is closer to the original smell of a certain spice wood.Lu Yongle thought for a while, tugged at Yan Jun, and asked in a low voice: "...Chen Xiang...?"
Yan Jun was a little surprised that he even knew this, nodded: "...Yes."
Lu Yongle was startled, and turned his fingers lightly and slightly in a circle: "All...?!"
If the entire ancestral hall is made of agarwood, it would be terrible. The Yan family's fixed assets are astonishing just because of this ancestral hall, okay?
Fortunately, Yan Jun denied it: "No... there are only beams and a few pillars."
Lu Yongle still opened his peach blossom eyes wide.
Even if there were only a few pillars, it would be quite scary.Lu Yongle heard the news that several huanghuali beams were found in an old house, and he had seen dilapidated old houses directly turned into sky-high prices.Yan family ancestral hall, this is Chen Xiang!Thinking of this, Lu Yongle suddenly felt that this ancestral hall was "not too big".
Just kidding, even the most luxurious villa in BH may not be as valuable as this small ancestral hall.
Yan Jun seemed to be aware of the young man's thoughts, and explained: "...it was built early."
Lu Yongle: ...how early?Is it time for agarwood to be everywhere?
If that's the case, the agarwood from that time is still a priceless treasure at the antique level, right? !
However, the Yan family is able to keep a low profile and steady on the premise of sitting on this kind of material.
Even so low-key that Lu Yongle once thought that Yan Jun's family was in a difficult situation...
The little blood clan said that this mistake must be the most exaggerated time in this life. There is no one before or after.
Yan Jun saw that Lu Yongle was in a daze, so he held him and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be stressed."
Lu Yongle: "...What pressure?"
Is the object too rich pressure?
Yan Jun said: "Treat it as a normal situation, don't be too cautious."
Even if he said so, it's impossible for the little blood race to dance here.The young man asked in a low voice: "Don't you think my family is like the kind of soil turtle who got rich overnight..."
"What are you thinking?" Yan Jun was helpless, unable to understand how the youth's thinking had diverged. "First of all, your family is not that kind of person, and secondly, we didn't think so. I never thought about it that way."
The young man smiled: "Okay, as long as you don't think of me that way."
The two young men kept talking in a low voice behind them, and Patriarch Yan didn't turn around to ask them to be quiet. It can be said that they were indeed very relaxed.
Patriarch Yan didn't stop until he opened the final hall door, and looked back at the two young men.
Lu Yongle shuddered and stood up straight suddenly.
Patriarch Yan reflected on whether his expression was too serious, and comforted him: "Don't be nervous."
Lu Yongle responded obediently: "Yeah."
Patriarch Yan nodded, exchanged glances with his eldest son, and opened the antique wooden double door.
***
Because the historical heritage of the Yan family sounds very long, Lu Yongle thought for a while that he would see the Yan family lined up high and low... There are many "ancestors" in the Yan family.
But what I didn't expect was that there were only three tablets on the altar in the hall.Three sticks of incense as thick as fingers were lit in front of the tablet, with long lights on both sides, and some simple tributes in front.These look quite simple, in line with the atmosphere of this ancestral hall.But Lu Yongle looked up, looked at the electric light with a Chinese-style lampshade above his head, and blinked.
Yan Jun guessed what he was thinking this time: "Using electricity is safer than using fire."
The little blood race came to a sudden: Yell.
Well, since coming into contact with the Yan family, young people's stereotypes of "inheriting a family" have changed little by little.The Yan family is not considered old-fashioned, and they are not much different from ordinary people... Of course, except for the fact that they are much, much richer than ordinary families.
While thinking, the young man followed Patriarch Yan to the altar.Looking again, I found that there were two long-burning lamps that used electricity on the ground beside the altar, but now there were real lit ever-burning lamps on the altar, and the ones on the ground were turned off and useless.Okay, it seems that the ancestors of the Yan family don't usually care about that little flame.
Patriarch Yan burned a stick of incense first, and then asked Yan Jun to bring Lu Yongle to burn incense as well.
Lu Yongle took advantage of this time to carefully look at the words on the tablets, and found that these three tablets did not seem to enshrine the ancestors of the Yan family.
The reason for this guess is very simple. Of the three tablets, only the one on the right has the word "Yan".
The young man couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare to ask right now, he could only do what Yan Jun did.The two sat down on a futon each, crossed their legs, and straightened their backs facing the tablet.
"Now, meditate and meditate." Patriarch Yan looked at his watch beside him, "There are still twelve minutes until Lichun, and I will remind you step by step what to do later."
Lu Yongle obediently closed his eyes and began to meditate.Although this is an unfamiliar place, the quaint atmosphere is calming.The smell of agarwood and incense sticks blend together, faintly, it seems to have the effect of clearing the mind.
And above the ancestral hall, the sky is filled with muffled thunder, and the spring thunder that splits the harsh winter is brewing.
