In the ghost gate hall, all the members of the Wei family have gathered.
Fang Leng gently inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner in front of him, and looked at the portrait. He felt that at this time, he should still show some grief, and of course he should pay attention to the scale.
Yu Shuo has been watching Fang Leng from the side. For her, it has been seven years since she saw Wei Ming, so she naturally wants to watch him carefully at this moment.
Then, she looked at the portrait and said, "Father, Wei Ming is back. The second son you've been talking about has finally come back to see you."
Wei Ming's father had always regarded Xu Yusu as an adopted daughter, so later, Xu Yusu simply asked him to call him father. According to this kind of plot routine, generally in a big family, an outsider who has no blood relationship is regarded as a parent and child by the elders in the family, and will be more or less hostile. The reason is naturally that he is worried that the outsider will be separated when the property is divided. It's just that this movie doesn't have this routine. The members of the Wei family didn't show the slightest dislike for Xu Yusu calling Mr. Wei his father.
This is a very different family, definitely not the kind of rich and powerful family who fight for property and inheritance rights in the world. In fact, Ye Xiang had already made some guesses. The Wei family, perhaps similar to the Ouyang family in "The Chamber of Confinement", may be a psychic family. Then, the family must be hiding something cursed by the dead. And this is also the most scarce thing in Thirteen Degrees Cinema, which is currently short of cursed things. Even if there is more power, it can be of great help to the future trip of "Ghost Sacrifice 3".
Not only Ye Xiang, Fang Leng and Yu Shuo also thought of this, both of them have rich experience in this kind of thing.
Now, it is necessary to play by ear and carefully observe everything in this family.
In the mourning hall, members of the Wei family began to gather one after another. Among them, most people's eyes were focused on Fang Leng. Among these people, there are naturally many familiar faces.
At this time, Cheng Xuesong was standing with her hands down, she was standing beside Li Weisi, she played the role of Wei Si's wife. However, her gaze at the moment is staring at Fang Leng, but that gaze is not a kind of loathing, on the contrary, it is a kind of deep nostalgia. Cheng Xuesong's interpretation of eyes is much better than his lines. And this expression is also her own speculation. The reason is simple, the character she plays, Xu Qianrong, has always been secretly in love with Wei Ming. Seven years ago, everyone was just teenagers, but at that time, Qianrong had been following Wei Ming, and her identity was Xu Yusu's younger sister. It is not uncommon for sisters to like the same man, which is also a common setting in many movies. However, unlike her sister, because she also felt that Wei Ming would not return, she finally chose to marry Wei Ming's cousin Wei Si.
However, now that Wei Ming has returned, she has already married a woman. On the contrary, her elder sister has finally waited for Wei Ming's return. In addition to being nostalgic in her eyes at this time, it is naturally difficult to hide a trace of jealousy towards her sister Yusu. It can be seen that although she is married to Wei Si played by Li Weisi, her life after marriage is obviously not good. Or, even though she married Wei Si, she couldn't forget Wei Ming in her heart, so she didn't have much affection for her newly married husband.
But speaking of it, what is the relationship between sisters Xu Yusu and Xu Qianrong and the Wei family? This point is quite difficult to understand. The script of the first act did not give this answer either. Their relationship with this family is very special, they are obviously not servants, and even Old Master Wei treats Xu Yusu as his daughter, so others didn't say much. In addition, Xu Yusu is the heroine of this movie...
The Xu family sisters must be the key to this movie, there is no doubt about it!
"Anyway, you're finally back."
At this time, the second uncle Wei Yuanwu walked in front of Fang Leng, and slightly bent down to look at him.
At this time, his eyes actually started to soften, it seemed that the viciousness in his eyes before was just Fang Leng's illusion. Is he an actor
"That's right, Second Uncle, it's a good thing for Wei Ming to come back." Yu Shuo at the side also immediately smoothed things over: "Why don't we let him stay in Wei's house in the future!"
After saying this, Wei Si, no, it should be Li Weisi, but he said coldly: "What are you talking about? Yusu? He must have made a breakthrough outside, why is he willing to stay here?"
However, Wei Yuanwu said: "Okay. If Wei Ming is willing, I, as the second uncle, can also nod. The eldest brother has passed away now, and I should be the master of this family."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Although he knew the answer from the script, Yu Shuo still showed a smile, as if a child was promised a reward by his parents.
However, Li Weisi let out a "hum", and then looked at Cheng Xuesong beside him. The latter also had a hint of joy in his eyes after the second uncle said that. Li Weisi glared at her angrily, pulled her up, and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I don't want to disturb you all!"
Then he pulled up the cedar and went straight to the second floor angrily.
It was getting late.
Fang Leng also met all the "old friends" he hadn't seen for many years.
His uncle's face was softer when he saw him, and he was not as repulsive as his aunt was. Although my uncle is also in his fifties, he still looks energetic and good-looking, otherwise he would not be worthy of such a beautiful aunt. When my uncle saw him, he just said lightly: "It's good to come back. Ah Ming, do you remember me?"
"Of course." Fang Leng also softened his eyes at this time: "I remember that my uncle loved me very much when I was young."
"You haven't forgotten."
The aunt said from the side: "That is, you doted on him the most at that time, even more than your sister."
Wei Ming's mother also seemed to have passed away very early. However, it is not clear exactly when Wei Ming died. Fang Leng even wondered if his mother died when Wei Ming was thirteen years old, which caused Wei Ming to leave this family and Baihe Town
Speaking of which, according to the character profile of the script, both the aunt and uncle, as well as the two sisters of the Xu family, are also from Baihe Town. For the people of Baihe Town, being able to marry into the Wei family means that they have enough food and clothing. This family seems to be quite rich, but also quite mysterious and weird.
And then, he paid attention to the cousin Wei Xin played by Dong Qilan, who is the older sister of Wei Si played by Li Weisi. After seeing Wei Ming, Wei Xin didn't show much expression, as if he didn't care at all. Because she is a professional actor, coupled with Dong Qilan's cold demeanor, she played the role of Wei Xin very well. It looks like the heroine she played in Jin Yong dramas in the past.
Wei Ming's family is mainly these people, uncle, aunt and their son Haoxiang, second uncle and his pair of children, and the role of second aunt does not seem to exist, it is unknown whether she died or divorced . As for the role of aunt, it seems that she brought her daughter back to her hometown after the divorce. Her daughter was played by Qi Qingqing, named Wei Lian, and she has very few roles at present.
The role played by Yang Hong is just an ordinary maid, extremely inconspicuous, with only one line "Master, please drink tea". Such a character would probably die very early. She knew this very well, so when she was pouring tea, her hands shook very badly. Relatively speaking, Dong Qilan was treated a little better because she was a big star.
"Did you say anything when your father died?"
Sitting in front of the elders in the living room, Fang Leng finally asked this question.
This is what Wei Ming wants to ask the most.
"He just kept talking about you. It's a pity that you changed your place of residence at that time." The uncle said, "I also heard that the housing prices in the city are high now, otherwise if you have a house to live in, you can contact me earlier It's your turn. But at that time, your mobile phone was shut down due to arrears. It would be great if you could see your father for the last time."
Fang Leng was silent.
Obviously, Wei Ming's life outside is very unsatisfactory. He has only lived in some temporary residences, no different from a migrant worker who goes to work in the city, and he can't even pay for his mobile phone. Being so destitute, leaving such a rich family unwilling to come back, it is obvious that he has a lot of conflicts with the family. And Wei's father kept writing to him, obviously not completely heartless, but Wei Ming still refused to come back until he heard the news of his father's death...
Wei Ming must have very strong negative feelings towards this family. Just like many people also did not welcome his return. However, his return is the trigger of the most important plot of this movie. Something must have happened to the family in seven years. I'm afraid, it has become completely different from seven years ago.
So, next, he added a line.
"Has there been any changes at home in the past seven years?"
Fang Leng knew that even if the change really existed, it was unlikely that the other party would tell him. However, he will still observe. The elders on the opposite side may not all be actors, there may be NPCs among them. And this is very important to Fang Leng.
However, they didn't show any special expressions.
It seemed they expected from the start that he would definitely ask the question.
"Of course there have been changes, and you've seen them all. Especially since Qianrong married my son, the letter your eldest brother sent you probably didn't mention this matter, right?"
Their reactions could not confirm Fang Leng's speculation. Wait for a while, find a way to find an opportunity to let Yu Shuo walk around the five halls, try to sense what is wrong.
Maybe... Wei's father's death was also related to him.
If this is the case, then it is very unusual. From all the lines in the first act script, it is impossible to determine the cause of Wei's father's death. Due to the mention of his poor health, it is easy for ordinary people to preconceive that he died of illness. However, no one has confirmed this at all. Wei Ming, played by Fang Leng, had obviously been told the cause of his father's death, so naturally he couldn't ask any more at this time. However, no matter what, he will find a way to find out.
At that time... it was time for Ye Xiang and Yu Shuo to make a move!
