Zhang Xiaohan picked up her footsteps again and followed behind the eldest young master, she didn't have very deep feelings for Steward Lin, but she was a living person, and she was still teaching herself how to lay down a ban a few days ago, but then it was gone, or she was killed, how could she be happy in her heart.

Her heart was suddenly shocked again, why did the eldest young master tell herself, was he warning herself not to deviate from his father, the patriarch of the Zhang family?

Yes, he has the blood of the second master on his body, how can the patriarch and the eldest young master not be wary of themselves, these words have a warning meaning.

It's just a pity that they don't know that they just have the appearance of Zhang Qingjiu, the daughter of the Zhang family, and in their bones, they are Zhang Xiaohan in their previous life, not the concubine of your Zhang family, nor the adopted daughter of your patriarch.

In front of it is a large open space, and in the middle of the open space is an independent courtyard, which is an important place for family cultivation that only the children of the concubines can enter, and it is said that only the children of the concubines have the right to enter there to cultivate.

On the tall lintel, there are three big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing: Meditation Hall.

The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and Zhang Xiaohan couldn't help but stand still. This is a habit brought about by the previous life, and when you see good calligraphy, you can't help but stop and admire it for a moment.

"This is an important place for the family, and only the descendants of the family can enter, if they are not the descendants, they will be killed. If you come in, you will be tight-lipped when you see it, and once it leaks, no one will be able to protect you. The eldest young master misunderstood what Zhang Xiaohan meant, and explained quietly.

Zhang Xiaohan was taken aback, the family is important? If it's not a descendant, you will kill it? Looking at the three words of the retreat hall again, it seems that there is a faint murderous aura.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, and outside the door were the two deacons of the family, and the deacon just stood outside the courtyard, and saw the eldest young master bowing and saluting, his eyes staring at Zhang Xiaohan.

"This is the adopted daughter adopted by the patriarch, my sister, the ninth girl." Zhang Shuheng raised his hand and lit up a sign, and the deacons immediately bowed down and saluted: "Congratulations to the eldest young master, congratulations to Miss Nine." ”

Before Zhang Xiaohan could see the appearance of the brand, the eldest young master put the sign away with a wave of his hand.

followed the eldest young master into the courtyard, and the courtyard door closed silently behind him. Zhang Xiaohan looked curiously at the extremely ordinary courtyard in front of him.

Zhang Shuheng went straight into the only two-story building in the courtyard, and Zhang Xiaohan hurriedly followed.

It was a large hall, an empty hall, with four huge pillars painted red on the ceiling, surrounded by futons in the ground, a larger futon in the middle, and a staircase around the corner.

Just sitting here?

Zhang Shuheng glanced back at Zhang Xiaohan, smiled slightly, and then groped on the first pillar on his left hand, and silently, a door suddenly appeared on the pillar.

Zhang Shuheng looked at Zhang Xiaohan with a smile, took the surprise on her face into her eyes, and couldn't help but have some pity in her eyes, perhaps, she thought that she had good luck and became a member of the Zhang family, and she could enjoy the treatment of her children, but in fact, it was a name.

The two of them walked along a spiraling downward passage, the passage was wide enough for two people to walk side by side, Zhang Xiaohan still took a step back cautiously, and every few steps away from the stone walls on both sides, there was a stone block that glowed with silver light.

Zhang Shuheng pointed to the stones and said casually: "The fluorescent stones on the wall will always emit silver light, but it's a pity that the brightness is not enough, otherwise, if you give my sister one in the bedroom, you won't have to be smoked by the candle." ”

Zhang Xiaohan looked at it curiously, reached out and touched it, it was slightly cool, each one was the size of an adult's fist, embedded in the stone wall, and the road a few steps away was not very bright, but it was enough to see the road under his feet.

Using this instead of a candle flame is not bright enough, but fortunately it does not have the pungent smell of candle flames.

The stones under his feet are uneven, walking down, but the air is not a little damp, walking for a while, calculating, about forty or fifty meters underground, a cave suddenly appeared in front of it, and there were many shadows inside, as if someone was meditating and cultivating.

Zhang Shuheng's footsteps did not stop, and walked towards the cave, Zhang Xiaohan followed closely, and suddenly saw Zhang Shuheng's figure in front of him as if squeezed into a bubble, a ripple separated Zhang Shuheng's body, and the body inside and outside the ripple seemed to be staggered.

Slowing down the motion, Zhang Xiaohan watched in surprise as Zhang Shuheng's body slowly got the ripples, and the ripples in front of him disappeared, Zhang Shuheng turned around, thinking about her and smiling.

Zhang Xiaohan froze for a moment, and then understood that what she had just seen should be something special from Zhang Shuhengtong, forming a refraction of light, she stretched out her hand curiously, and slowly approached the invisible ripple.

Sticking to this ripple, there was no trace of resistance, and her hand seemed to enter a bubble that would not burst, and then, her body slowly passed through this ripple.

Standing in the cave, before he had time to take a closer look at the cave, he was stunned by the rich aura that came to his face.

It's such a rich aura, standing here, bathed in abundant aura, I can't help but take a deep breath, and the rich aura suddenly enters the internal organs, the kind of comfort from the inside out, just like when cultivating.

"Big brother, why did this slave follow you in." It was the voice of the second lady Zhang Xiaohui, Zhang Xiaohan resisted the desire to take a deep breath, and when he raised his eyes, the cave was not big, less than twenty square meters, and several people sitting cross-legged inside were standing up.

"Zhang Qingjiu, you are really tired of being crooked, dare to enter here." Zhang Xiaohui raised her eyebrows and said with a sneer, it was because of this Zhang Qingjiu and the steward in the courtyard that she and her mother were ridiculed by the people in the big house, and the steward Lin died, but this slut was still alive and well.

"Second sister, I'm about to tell you." Zhang Shuheng smiled and intercepted Zhang Xiaohui's words: "The patriarch has recognized Jiu Girl as his adopted daughter, and the second and third uncles have also testified, Jiu'er will be our sister from now on." ”

"What?" Zhang Xiaohui opened her eyes widely, pointed at Zhang Xiaohan and said, "Adopted daughter? Younger sister? How can it be? What she thought in her heart was the same as his father's thoughts, Zhang Qingjiu was obviously her father's biological daughter, how could she be raised in the name of the big house.

Zhang Shuheng said gently: "I can lead her here, it is naturally possible, the ninth sister is still young, and the patriarch ordered me to take care of it." ”

Saying that, he turned around and said, "Ninth sister, all of you here are your brothers and sisters." ”

Before Zhang Xiaohan could say anything, another beautiful girl stood in front of her, she stood in front of Zhang Xiaohan prettyly, tilting her head, looking innocent, which made Zhang Xiaohan quite impressed.

But as soon as she spoke, this favor immediately disappeared: "She is a lowly seed born to a lowly concubine, tsk, the second sister's dowry is one less." ”
