Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 404;

Chapter four hundred and sixth;

Lu Congshan was still sneering in his heart, and the chief patriarch of the Lu clan spoke again;

"Brother, when I asked you just now, how do you think about the sale of liquor in the imperial court? You haven't answered me yet."

"Ah! Oh, back to the chief patriarch, I have been thinking about it for a long time recently, and I already have a mature idea, so I will answer it now, and ask the chief patriarch to give me some advice."

While Lu Congshan was dealing with the big patriarch's attack, his thoughts were spinning in his mind, thinking about coming and going quickly.

This old uncle who had been the great Situ had obviously given up on himself and wanted to replace the obedient second younger brother, and the patriarch here was chasing after him, forcing him to question his attitude.

I'm afraid that if the last one can't say well about this matter, there will be a crisis, and almost all the clan elders in the two rooms are in place today, so it must be the damn third son who invited him to clean up himself!
No wonder it's been a while, and the third child hasn't appeared here yet, that's right!It must be like this, today is the biggest crisis!
It seems that whether I can continue to guarantee my inheritance right will be determined today. I must ensure that my position as patriarch will not be lost. I have also waited for more than ten years. month.

By the way, isn't it just the sale of liquor as the reason, I'm going to do something about it today, so that you all have nothing to say and come back disappointed, I won't give you any excuses, I'll see what tricks you can come up with!
right!Just do it like this, gag their mouths once today, and then, from today onwards, thank you behind closed doors, I will never contact anyone again,

Just stay at home wholeheartedly, serve the old Aye as a filial piety, and let everyone in the world know that I, Lu Congshan, am a big and filial son. …

The patriarch of the Lu family still has a kind smile, but in Lu Congshan's eyes, this kind of smile is completely different. It is obvious that he wants to find out my faults, and then put my patriarch's inheritance rights on the line. Take away the laugh, when I don't know yet?
The chief of the Lu family smiled and said;

"Oh? My brother already has an idea. I don't know what kind of mature idea it is, but I will tell you everyone's advice!"

Lu Congshan snorted coldly in his heart, look, I guessed it right, this is the most critical time, just wait for me to say something wrong and get rid of me,
What the chief patriarch said is interesting, let me say it for everyone to listen to, and then ask the clan elders to give the staff one or two. Isn't this an obvious reminder to the clan elders that if he makes a mistake in a while, he will immediately attack me?

Lu Congshan, who had figured everything out, calmed down instead, and stopped panicking. Now that he had guessed all their thoughts, the soldiers came to block the water and come to the earth. Get up today, see every move, and don't give them anything. Opportunities and excuses for trouble...

"Yes, back to the patriarch, ever since the imperial court decided to release the right to sell baijiu to the big households in the world, my younger brother has been carefully deliberating and has not yet made a final decision on whether to participate or not.

However, my younger brother is also working hard to inquire about all kinds of news and analyze the situation. However, my younger brother is stupid and wants to play it safe. I am afraid that I will make some mistakes, which will lead to the loss of the third room, so it is inevitable that I will think about it for a long time.

In the past two days, I have carefully questioned the important officials in the court, and learned that the sale of baijiu is profitable and not a trap, so I made up my mind to follow the royal family.

I was going to visit the chief patriarch last night to explain this matter. Unfortunately, I had a bad stomach yesterday and it was very inconvenient, so I didn't go to disturb the chief patriarch and uncle.

Just now I went to Aye's house to invite Ann again, checked it once, and was about to go out to discuss with the patriarch, the second and third bedrooms of Lu's big house have to go in and out together.

Unexpectedly, the chief patriarch and uncle brought all the elders here, and I just took this opportunity to report the details. Please teach me, the chief patriarch and uncle, what should I do next?

I don’t dare to ask the first house, and how much money the second house has prepared. I have a good idea, little brother, and act quickly. I heard that I will pay the money and pick up the goods tomorrow, but I can’t delay any longer. Please, chief patriarch. Ming Jian. "

Lu Congshan spoke more and more smoothly, and his heart became more and more calm. After speaking, he looked at the two noble old men above you with a smile, for fear of missing a trace of the other's expression.

I saw that the old uncle who had been a great Situ obviously had a slight movement of the flesh at the corner of his mouth. Although it was imperceptible, Lu Congshan still keenly caught that trace of strange emotion.

I am more sure of my own thoughts in my heart. Today I am here to find fault. I have blocked their mouths by pulling out of everything. They have nothing to say, so it is inevitable that they are a little disappointed.

snort!Looking for an excuse to switch?There is no door, and I will not ask you to catch me with anything.

The patriarch of the Lu family paused slightly, then spoke again;
"That's very good. Our Lu family has a total of three bedrooms, and we always work together to advance and retreat and watch over each other. Last night, I told Brother Jishan that I will go to your third bedroom today and register with the household department. Registered,

Then come to discuss with you, and then make a decision. Since you have already considered it maturely, and you want to advance and retreat with the eldest and second wife, then there is nothing else to do.

As for the matter of money, don't want too much for the time being. I heard what Jishan said when he came back. Tomorrow, every family will look like ten or twenty, and they will not even have a thousand dollars.
You don't need to prepare anything, just take the money and silk to exchange for wine tomorrow. As for the liquor sold there, you can find out the details after inquiring about it. "

"It's the patriarch. If it's less than a thousand guan, there's really no need to prepare. When I go to Cangbu Division to get the wine tomorrow, I will definitely go to my brother and ask him to clarify."

snort!It sounds good, come to me to discuss, discuss what?I'm afraid they are discussing to remove my position as the patriarch's heir, and replace the second child to preside over the overall situation. If you speak so high-soundingly, do you think I'm a fool?
Lu Congshan briefly summed it up in his mind, the youngest recruited six elders of the three-room clan, went to lobby the big clan chief, came to find faults and then replaced them.
The head of the patriarch asked someone to arrange to register first, and then bring all the important people to investigate the crime today. As long as I find out my faults, I am afraid that I will be in trouble immediately, and then my second brother will come out to preside over the overall situation. .

The matter of going to the Ministry of Households to register and compile the book is probably the way to prepare for the second brother, but I didn't expect that I could see the crux of the problem on the spot today, and prescribe the right medicine, so that they would have no excuses.

What's more, Tiangong is not beautiful, and the second brother is not in the mansion, so he escaped the catastrophe. It's really dangerous... so dangerous!

The third child accepts the third child, you did all the tricks but never thought that even if you drag me into trouble, you still don't have your share.

People always look down on you, and would rather choose a wimp to support you, even if you don't let you get what you want, you still have to jump up and down, why bother?

Enjoy wealth and honor with peace of mind. Wouldn't it be nice to be a noble clan elder in the future? It's ridiculous to insist on jumping around!

The patriarch and the old Situ murmured to each other, the voice was too low, no one heard what was said, Lu Congshan pretended not to see it on the surface, but inside he was very anxious and helpless!
After the two whispered a few words, the patriarch spoke again;
"Okay, there is no need to mention the matter of baijiu anymore. My brother handled it correctly. Next, let's go and see how the patriarch of the third room is doing. Congshan, you lead the way!"

"It's the patriarch, everyone, please follow me!"

Lu Congshan agreed, and walked ahead to lead the way, thinking quickly in his heart, they had nothing to say about the liquor, so they wanted to find fault in the backyard?

I have always been in charge of Aye's affairs, if something happens, of course I will blame it on me!

It's okay, I have to check it twice a day. Aye's body, face, and face are wiped clean, and the bed is also neat and tidy. The waiters also rotate three shifts a day, and there are always eight people in the room. never missing,

There is nothing wrong with it. If it is time to check it, it would be even more perfect if the madam would serve her filial piety in front of the sick bed.

With Madam's wisdom, after getting the news of the chief patriarch's arrival, they can definitely guess that everyone will go to the backyard to check. It is estimated that at this moment, they are already waiting in Aye's room. I hope this is the ending, that would be the best However...

Lu Congshan led the way, followed by a large group of old men. After passing through several thresholds and entering the backyard of the old patriarch, a maid ran out all the way, and stopped quickly when she saw Mr. Da Lang leading a large group of people;

"I have met Mr. Dalang, Madam, she..."

"Don't panic, first meet the two patriarchs and the elders of the clan."

"No, I will pay my respects to the two patriarchs and all the elders."

"Report to Mr. Dalang, the old patriarch just woke up and was able to speak. He even asked his wife for water. Although the voice was not too loud and intermittent, the servants could hear clearly. The lady asked me to report Mr. Dalang, hurry to serve in the backyard."

"Good! Good! Good! Come here."

Lu Congshan has never been so excited like today, one is that his wife really has a heart-to-heart with him, and she is really serving in Aye's house, just enough to let all the clan elders see clearly how filial his wife is.

What's more, the old Aye who loves him the most has woken up again. What is even more joyful is that the old Aye can still speak. The last time he spoke was half a month ago.

It seems that the position of the patriarch of the Three Houses, even God's will is on me, Lu Congshan. This is God's will, and no one can take it away from me.

The personal attendant next to him agreed loudly;

"The villain is here, please give orders to Mr. Dalang."

Lu Congshan also wanted to show his face today, and told his servants loudly;

"Go to my study, on the northernmost shelf, in the top row, there is a big black box, which is in the hands of the herb collectors from the Heishui Mohe tribe that I collected five days ago.
I bought it for Aye with a lot of money, the first-class old ginseng that has become humanoid in 800 years, and then took out the second one, told the kitchen not to wash it, put it in warm water, boiled two sticks of incense lightly, and brought it to Aye Continue to live! "

How could the personal servant who grew up with Lu Congshan not know what his master meant, and immediately agreed loudly after hearing the order;
"It's Mr. Dalang, the villain will go get it now."

The Da Lang in the mouth of the servant, the big character is biting very hard, the purpose is to remind everyone that my Da Lang is the most filial.

The dialogue between the master and the servant achieved the desired effect. Many people in the group of elders behind heard the 800-year-old ginseng, and their mouths were cold, and several people were sighing;

"God, the 800-year-old ginseng, or the second one? It seems that I have used one before. No wonder the old uncle can wake up again. This third-bedroom brother is really capable, and he can get such a rare one. Treasures, amazing!"

"Isn't that right? I heard that 500-year-old ginseng is worth tens of thousands of dollars and it's hard to find. If anyone gets it, they won't be willing to exchange it for money. It's a panacea for bringing the dead back to life. The boss of Sanfang is really filial and willing to take it. Come out two and give him Aye to eat, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Yes, yes, I heard that these hundreds of years of spiritual things have become climates. They are the natural roots of the heaven and the earth. They also know the way to seek good fortune and avoid evil. It is difficult for ordinary people to come across.

Only the herb pickers who have been passed down from generation to generation can find a way to find the location of the spiritual root, which is very rare. The Dalang of the third room can take it out so generously for him, Aye, he is really a filial son... "

Lu Congshan got the desired result and strode into the house, showing his extreme care and concern for Aye's waking up.

A group of old people also entered the house, and what came to them was the smell of various herbs. The whole room was clean and tidy, without a trace of peculiar smell, and the bed was also very tidy, which fully showed that the service was very careful.

Lu Congshan listened carefully to the chaotic footsteps coming up behind him, and knew without turning his head that the two chiefs and elders had already entered the house. Lu Congshan, who was determined, let out a mournful cry;
"Aye, my son is here..."

Today's sad call came from the depths of Lu Congshan's heart, and it was not a deliberate affectation.

In the past, old Aye always took care of all his affairs, sitting in the rear and directing, and he didn't have to worry about anything.

Now the old Aye is seriously ill on the couch, without Aye's protection, Lu Congshan immediately felt a big difference from before,
The other two noble elders of the Lu family brought a large group of old killers over, obviously wanting to take away their inheritance rights.

Lu Congshan was exhausted from dealing with it, and also worried. How could he not work hard all by himself under the pressure of a group of patriarchs and elders?

This time I will see the old Aye who has protected himself for decades, Lu Congshan is showing his true feelings, not at all pretentious, as soon as he called out, Lu Congshan began to show his filial piety,
Before reaching the couch, he fell limply on the ground, and before the maid came to help him, he used both hands and feet, and crawled to the side of the couch.
Looking at the emaciated old Aye on the couch, Lu Congshan recalled the scene of sitting in Aye's arms when he was a child, and burst into tears without pretending.

"Aye, don't worry, your old man will be fine. A few days ago, the child care provider found an old herb picker from the Heishui Mohe tribe in the northeast.

He bought three 800-year-old ginseng with a lot of money from him, boiled it several times the day before yesterday and yesterday, and gave Aye one.

Just now I have arranged for someone to pick up the second ginseng, and I am taking it to the kitchen to keep Aye alive. Don't worry, these three old ginseng will definitely cure Aye. "

The old man on the couch looked pretty good today, obviously much more energetic than before, the skinny old man stretched out a hand, and put it on Lu Congshan's hand weakly,

Almost dry throat, barely able to make a sound, although it is not loud, it can be heard very clearly in a quiet room;

"Okay, don't... spoil... spoil it."

Lu Congshan said softly with tears;
"Report to Aye, don't waste it. As long as it can cure Aye's illness, it will be ten times more precious. I have to find a way to get it for Aye to eat, and it will cost my life. The son is also at the expense.

Aye, look, you just woke up today after using one. If you eat the remaining two, you will definitely be better. By the way, Aye, the two patriarchs have come to see you, Da Fang The elders of the second room are also here, and they all came to see you, Aye. "

While talking, Lu Congshan knelt on the ground and moved a few steps to the other side of the bed, making room for the two patriarchs.

The patriarch of the Lu family walked over side by side with old Situ, and the patriarch called softly;
"Uncle Ninth, your old man is well, I'm here to see you."

Looking at his younger brothers on the bed, old Situ was full of emotion. He had Baohewan, the patriarch's chief, to continue his life, but this old nine didn't eat a few. The old brother who is not inferior to others has become so sick.

Old Situ bent down and spoke in a low voice;

"Ninth Brother, Brother Yu has come to see you, it's always been good, Ninth Brother."

The old man on the bed was very excited when he saw the other two influential people who grew up with him, a smile appeared on his face immediately, and the right hand on Lu Congshan's wrist also began to tremble.

"Big... clan..., fifth brother..."

Seeing the extremely excited old man, the chief patriarch of the Lu family hurriedly comforted him;

"Uncle Jiu, don't get excited, old man, don't get excited."

Old Situ choked indifferently;
"I said, old nine, you are a bit hypocritical this time, just pretending to be dying for a few minor illnesses, how big a deal should I be?

The boss of your family is really filial. You have raised a good son. You spent a lot of money for your illness this time. You actually got three 800-year-old ginseng. I think you want to leave this time. no,

Hurry up and eat those three old ginseng, get up and talk to me for a couple of rounds, don't pretend anymore. "

After listening to old Situ's words, the old man on the couch opened his mouth on the spot, showing only four teeth, and laughed loudly,
It's just that his body has been ill for a long time, and he can't laugh out loud, but his complexion makes people look at it and he is much more at ease.

Seeing Lao Jiu grinning happily, Old Situ comforted him again psychologically;
"Old Nine, when the three of us traveled around the world, we met those horse bandits who robbed the road in Yandang Mountain, do you still remember?

That time you and the patriarch were really mighty, you chopped down seven or eight thieves, and fought bloody battles with a group of house slaves and those thieves to the end,
Protect me from a little harm, but I remember it clearly, Lao Jiu, you were really a good man back then, a good man, do you remember those things? "

The old man on the couch immediately showed a proud expression, and nodded his head twice with great difficulty, expressing that he certainly remembered the deeds of those heroes.

The old man who nodded his head on the couch, stared at the head of the Lu family and the old Situ behind his eyes, looked at it silently and found that almost all the elders in the upper two rooms had come, and the old man pretended not to see it without making a sound...

However, on Lu Congshan's wrist, the skeleton-like right hand, like old bark, raised it with all his strength and pointed at Lu Congshan, speaking indistinctly;
"Okay... er, superior... family..."

The old man who had been ill for a long time exhausted all his strength before he could finish his sentence. His neck, which he was barely trying to lift just now, was tilted to the pillow again, and his breathing was short of breath. The chief patriarch of the Lu family nodded;

"Uncle Jiu, don't worry, I understand what you mean."

Old Situ also spoke to comfort;

"Old Jiu, don't waste the energy of that old ginseng, An An is keeping it alive, I think if you eat the other two, I'm afraid you can still sit up, but well, the rest It's hard to say whether two... can be eaten into your stomach, or not."

Lu Congshan's regular wife standing in the corner was so anxious when she heard old Situ's eccentric words, she twisted the silk scarf in her hand into twists, but she couldn't do anything about it.

On such an occasion, the patriarchs and elders of the upper and second houses are all there, how can she open her mouth to speak as a woman, she can only look at her man hard, hoping that her man will quickly speak a few nice words The scene speaks out...

Lu Congshan was also unambiguous, and sent a consoling wife to his regular wife, and immediately said;
"Don't worry, chief patriarch, don't worry uncle, I personally supervised the second old ginseng today, survived it six times in two days, and throw it away when it loses energy.

I will also personally supervise the last one left, and put it in Aye's room, and in another four or five days, I will be able to eat it all for Aye.

From today onwards, I, Lu Congshan, don't take off my clothes, and I will stay in this room every day to serve the old Aye. If there is nothing important, I will never leave for a moment. Lu Congshan was struck by lightning and died in a terrible way. "

After hearing this, the clan elders in the room began to whisper about Lu Congshan's filial piety again. Lu Congshan's wife listened to her man's loud words, clenched her fists tightly, and cheered for the man in her heart.

The old man on the bed tried hard to look at his own son, and shed two lines of turbid tears excitedly. He likes this eldest son the most, and he also knows his character. He is a person who keeps what he says. Thinking of his life, he really has no pain. Wrong person, the old man was very relieved, pointed at Lu Congshan again, repeating what he had just said;
"Okay... er, superior... as clan... chief, please... fifth brother..."

Old Situ sat on the bed, took the old man and pointed at Lu Congshan's hand, and said comfortingly;

"Don't worry, old nine, what do your three sons look like? I'm not confused about being a brother. As long as the remaining two old ginseng can enter your stomach, I will support him to take the position."

The old man on the couch smiled, he knew very well that his son, if it was just this condition, it would not be very simple, even if there were ten more, even if it was ten times more expensive, this dear son could make himself eat it all, The son he raised by himself, he knows better than anyone else.

Looking at the dying old Aye, at this time, he still has to worry about his superior patriarch, Lu Congshan, a big man, couldn't help crying, this time he couldn't cry;
"Aye..."

Standing in the corner, Lu Congshan's first wife, heard that the patriarch of the second room finally said the words to support her man's supremacy, secretly let out a sigh of relief, and relaxed...
