Chapter 562: Duke Kou's Mansion
The five people from the Kou family sat down.
After a careful study of the resource distribution map, we finally decided to collect resources in the capital area first according to the principle of proximity.
"Master, Madam, the chief steward of the Duke's Mansion wants to see you!" Uncle Chen reported from outside.
The person who came was the chief steward of Duke Kou's Mansion. The fact that he was allowed to deliver the invitation personally showed how much importance Duke Kou's Mansion attached to him.
If it was an ordinary member of the clan, the chief steward of Duke Kou's mansion would be more respectable than him.
But the house that the Kou family traveled through was quite special.
According to the system, Duke Kou's Mansion had encountered several crises, all of which were resolved by the people from this house.
The most recent time was when Kou Shishi’s ancestor traveled through time.
then.
The deposed crown prince forced the emperor to abdicate, and not only surrounded the imperial palace, but also surrounded several royalist mansions, Duke Kou's mansion being one of them.
At that time, the old Duke Kou and the Crown Prince, the current Duke Kou, were surrounded in the palace and could not get out at all.
The house is almost entirely populated by women and children.
Although there are guards, how can they compete with the Imperial Guard?
Seeing that the gate of the mansion was about to be breached and all the women and children in the mansion were in danger, several ladies, grandmothers and girls prepared to commit suicide.
The critical moment.
The ancestor of the Kou family arrived! He fought against many enemies alone and guarded the gate of the mansion alone.
You have to know that there were at least several hundred guards surrounding the mansion at that time. Not only that, the ancestor was standing on the top of the Guanfeng Tower, the tallest building in the Duke's Mansion.
Draw the bow and shoot!
He actually shot and killed the commander of the guards surrounding the palace who was thousands of meters away!
This resulted in the premature failure of the palace coup.
Everyone then understood that the ancestor of the Kou family was actually a hermit in the Xiantian realm!
in fact.
The royal family also has innate realm warriors, but they just happen to be in seclusion, so the deposed prince chose to force the emperor to abdicate.
Therefore, when the Duke of Kou's Mansion learned that the descendants of the ancestor had returned, they would definitely send someone.
If the ancestor came back, I guess the old lady and Duke Kou would come to pay their respects in person.
But Kou Shishi's family is the younger generation.
As they are ordinary people at present, they cannot make a big fuss about it, so they have to send the chief steward to deliver the invitation in person.
The Duke's Mansion will hold a banquet the day after tomorrow.
Kou Shishi and her family were specially invited to a banquet to welcome them.
"Hey, it's true that someone will give you a pillow just when you feel sleepy!"
Kou Qinqin grinned.
One of the natural treasures they wanted to collect: broken fragments of immortal armor.
It just happened to be at Duke Kou’s mansion.
It’s not Kou’s thing, otherwise, it would have been collected when our ancestors were alive.
It was the dowry of the wife of the Crown Prince of Kou, who had just married last year.
Kou Changsheng personally received the Grand Steward of the Duke's Mansion. This Grand Steward was a teenage servant back then and had witnessed the majesty of the old ancestor firsthand.
He saw Kou Changsheng's appearance.
His expression became even more respectful. Kou Changsheng looked about 60% like the old ancestor.
"Master Sheng, this old servant greets you!"
Because they are from different families, they have their own generation rankings. In Kou Changsheng's family, he is the only son, so other families call him Uncle Sheng.
"General Manager, please stand up quickly!"
After more than half a month of adaptation, Kou Changsheng has learned a lot of ancient common sense.
The two exchanged pleasantries.
The chief steward took his leave.
After all, he was just a servant, so it was not appropriate for him to ask too many questions. Kou Changsheng returned to his room, deep in thought.
"I think the old ancestor's whereabouts should be changed!"
"Why do you want to change it?"
Gu Yuxuan asked doubtfully.
"Think about it, the ancestor showed himself to be a Xiantian realm warrior, a top-level existence in this world."
"His lifespan should have been at least 120 years. He's only in his 50s or 60s now. Isn't it strange that he died so young?"
"Besides, the Kou family is able to be so stable because they have people in the Xiantian realm."
Gu Yuxuan, Kou Shishi and the other two sisters couldn't help but nod their heads. It was indeed true. They heard that the former crown prince was deposed because of forcing the emperor to abdicate.
The fight for the throne in his later years was extremely fierce.
Many nobles were affected, and only the Duke Kou's Mansion remained safe and sound, precisely because of the existence of the Xiantian realm.
although.
The ancestor left soon!
But those princes deliberately avoided Duke Kou. It was not because no one tried to win them over, but because the ancestor had warned them before leaving.
The Kouguo Mansion can only remain stable if it does not participate in the fight for the throne.
Otherwise, wealth will not last for more than three generations!
Therefore, the Duke Kou's Mansion has never participated. The princes were intimidated by the reputation of the Xiantian Realm and did not dare to take it out on the Duke Kou's Mansion. Instead, they wanted to make friends with it.
In this world, the deterrent effect of the Innate Realm is unquestionable.
Only then would Kou Changsheng think of changing his mind.
"Then let's just say that the ancestor went out to sea!" Kou Shishi suggested.
"Well, that's a good idea! The return date is uncertain." Kou Changsheng nodded in agreement.
Everyone else also had no objection and spoke with one voice.
On the morning of the third day, two luxurious carriages from Duke Kou's mansion stopped at Koujiazhuang early.
I saw Kou Shishi and her family get on the carriage.
Some people in Koujiazhuang were envious, some were jealous. The older generation, almost all of them, knew what was going on and spoke of their ancestors with reverence.
After hearing this, the younger generation who were good at martial arts secretly vowed in their hearts that they must work hard.
Kou Shishi's family didn't know what they were thinking, and even if they knew, they wouldn't care.
Arrived at Duke Kou’s Mansion.
The masters in the mansion had been looking forward to it for a long time. All the masters and mistresses of the old lady's Kou Rongyuan, even the babies who were still in swaddling clothes, gathered together.
The room is full of people!
The old lady had no choice but to have the hall open to welcome the guests.
"Madam, Master Sheng, Madam Sheng, and the three girls are here!"
"Hurry, hurry, please come in!"
The old lady stood up, her face full of excitement, and saw the five people walking in. The one in front was Uncle Sheng, who looked so similar to his father.
The old lady's eyes suddenly turned red!
"Changsheng, bring your whole family to invite Kou to the old lady!" Kou Changsheng made a long bow.
Talk about it.
The Kou family on Earth is dozens of generations younger than the Kou family in this world!
Kowtow to ancestors is nothing, let alone just a big gesture of respect.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm glad you're back!"
Then, the old lady introduced the younger generations to them one by one, not leaving any one out, appearing very solemn.
The old man is very smart.
I want my descendants to have a stronger sense of presence.
She knew more about that room than the others and was aware of its peculiarities. Seeing this, some of the younger generation were skeptical.
They are used to a life of luxury and have never seen the power of those in the innate realm, so they lack awe.
They have a sense of superiority over their tribesmen who appear to be just ordinary people.
Kou Shishi naturally wouldn't pay attention to their thoughts. Her mind was all on the two of them.
One is the Crown Prince’s wife.
The other one is the reborn female supporting role!
That’s right, the reborn female supporting character is from Duke Kou’s Mansion, the legitimate daughter of the Third Master and County Lady Li Yan, the Third Miss Kou Qingya.
Before Kou Shishi could say anything.
Two people took action!
Needless to say.
Of course, it’s Kou Qinqin and Kou Huahua, the twin sisters. They look exactly the same and love to act cute.
No matter the old lady, the Duke, or even the younger generations, they all like him very much.
Among the older generation of the Duke's Mansion, there was once a pair of twin aunts, but they had passed away long ago.
At this time, it is naturally rare to see such a cute pair of twins.
Kou Qinqin ran to the Crown Prince's wife.
Pointing at her belly.
"Sister-in-law, when will my nephew and niece be able to come out?"
