The curtain thickened little by little, the lanterns everywhere in the Lufu were lit in turn, and the whole Lufu was wrapped in a hazy light.

The residence of the old master of the Lu family is even brighter in the Jixian Pavilion. Four brand-new big red silk lanterns are hung on the porch of the Jixian Pavilion in turn, illuminating the place a few feet away.

Lu Yan lowered his hand and stood in front of the old rhinoceros horn red sandalwood case with a faint light. He looked down at the masonry land under his feet, and calmly and silently looked at Mr. Lu, the head of the Lu Mansion.

Compared with Mrs. Lu, who is sick and old all year round, sixty-three of whom are still very young. He wears a home-style dark brocade robe, thick-soled green cloth shoes, and his white hair beard is smooth and neat. His eyebrows are so thick that they give people an illusion. That face I only saw those eyebrows, which made people ignore the eyes that flashed all the time.

He leaned comfortably in the spacious red sandalwood chair and looked at the best and most outstanding grandson of the Lu family in front of him with a smile, but he has left home since he was a child, and he is also the most strangest grandson: "That's all you do in Qingzhou? Is there nothing more to tell me?" His voice is not high and his expression is gentle, but the power contained in it should still not be underestimated.

It is this kind of quietness, seemingly gentle, but in fact, there is no room for expression and attitude to rule the Lu family for several years. Lu Jianxin, the eldest master of the Lu family, who has been an official for many years, no matter how busy he is, he dares not forget the family and the people of the family. Every New Year Dare to have a trace of neglect; Lu Jianzhong, the second master of the Lu family, who has been painstakingly engaged in family business at home for many years, even if he has become a grandfather, no matter how much unwillingness, how much injustice, how many grievances, he only dares to do things on his back. He never dares The more you read, the more sour you will be. The more you become, the more lost the third master of the Lu family. No matter how much you don't want to stand up, you really want to lie down and waste your time. In front of him, you still have to hold your head high and pretend to be very upright.

Lu Yan's eyebrows flicked gently, as if he was thinking about whether to say it or not.

Mr. Lu sighed gently: "Son, I'm your own grandfather. The whole Lu family is cut by me, and the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat." There is no reason to favor one over the other." He felt that he had made it clear enough. If anyone in the family could be most considerate of Lu Yan, there would be no one else except him. No matter how serious he is, no matter how difficult it is, it's time to open his mouth.

In fact, a trace of hesitation did flashed on Lu Yan's face, but he still thought about it: "I heard that there is a great drought in the north, and many cattle and sheep in the northern desert have died. It will probably not be peaceful this winter." The news has now spread everywhere among the scholars. He tried to find Master Lu's eyes under the noisy eyebrows of Master Lu to see what was in front of him, angry or angry? Or are you unhappy? But I saw Mr. Lu close his eyes, and his face was full of "continue, I'll listen."

The Lin family and the Wu family are grabbing grain. How can they hide it from the old master? Lu Yan gritted his teeth: "So they all think that food prices will definitely rise sharply this winter." We were a step late. Now the grain price in Pingzhou is two prices compared with the previous two days. Your eldest brother has gone to the nearby Daizhou to see if there is a cheap price to go, but even if it is successful,

The freight and expenses are not small. Mr. Lu stated the facts calmly and said lightly, "Before you went out, I gave you a lot of money, so that you don't wrong yourself outside. I heard that you were very economical when you were in Taiming Mansion." So how much did you bring back now?" Lu Yan was silent for a moment and replied, "There are still about ten taels of silver." What? Didn't the Tao family make enough money for you? Old Master Lu suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Lu Yan with a little sarcasm and ridicule: "Let's go. You just gave the money to him. The grain can't be paid in winter until winter. The first batch of goods will be sold as soon as possible, and the money will not be delivered to you."

Lu Yan looked down and blamed his eyes. He didn't regret, didn't defend, and was silent.

Mr. Lu waited for a long time, but he didn't see Lu Yan answer. He laughed angrily. This is really a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. If he has to wait any longer, he will be pissed off by this boy first. Well, don't wait. He asked if it's okay? So I hit the point: "Let me ask you, how many daughters does the Tu family want to marry? How many daughters-in-law do you want to marry? How much was the funeral of the old master of the Tu family in the early years? Lu Yan was stunned at first, and then finally opened it. "The old man of the Tu family is 70 funerals, with 500,000 yuan... He borrowed a lot of money and hasn't paid it off yet. He still has two daughters and three sons who are not married." He said that the five words of the old man of the Tu family were very eloquent. It was obviously his own grandfather. When he was a child, he loved him enough, but now he is like an irrecontinct outsider. When he dies, he can't even mourn.

"Ha!" Mr. Lu was silent for a moment and laughed out loud: "In this way, is the Tu family going to be completely defeated? Even funerals have to borrow money, and children's weddings have to be raised by their married daughters! You have a hundred taels of gold, and the money you earn is enough for the freight and labor cost of your brother to buy grain in Daizhou?! Which one of your food and clothing is not given to you at home? I understand you. I specially weighed money and let you relax, but you treated me like this? Hide it from me, can you hide it?! If you take care of the Tu family like this, aren't you afraid that your mother will be sad and cold-hearted?

Lu Yan knelt down straight down, put his head against the ground, and said gently, "Blessing is giving birth, nourishing is nourishing kindness, and I dare not forget it. Before the Lin family needed the help of their grandson, the Tu family was about to lose. There was only one person for the grandson. With one hand, he could only do the most important thing first.

I don't mean to hide it, but to say more and make more mistakes.

The matter of food, which has borrowed the power of the Tao family, has already gained without effort. If you want to be greedy again, heaven and earth are not allowed. In any case, if the grandfather thinks that his grandson has done something improperly, the other son will admit the punishment. But do it again, don't do it like this.

This stubborn donkey is so angry! To put it another good way, can't you be soft? Is it wrong to say more? No wonder there are few words all day long. Master Lu took a big breath, shook his head suddenly, looked at the gauze lamp in the corner and squeezed his mouth. Two daughters-in-law, one is so domineering and unreasonable, and the other is soft and tearful. No one will let anyone. It's really too much to say and make mistakes.

Lu Yan saw that he was silent, did not look up, and remained motionless in silence.

After a long time, Master Lu's voice seemed to come from far away: "Where did the Tao family get these two pieces of news? How did you know?

This is the matter of the Tu family again. Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and another vague and hazy mind gradually came up. He said, "At that time, the young master of the Tao family took his sister-in-law and her cousin to play in the field, and Lin Si accidentally mentioned it. When these two things came, the young master of the Tao family suddenly noticed them. I was looking for opportunities everywhere on the field. I happened to meet them, and I heard them if I didn't pay attention.

"Are you talking about Lin Si, the daughter of the third wife of the Lin family? Is it Lin Si, who will be in the limelight in your mother's heater for A Yun? Old Master Lu frowned and gently stroked his beard: "I remember that at the beginning of the summer, the Zhou family scrambled to buy saline land, which was the first to start with Tao Shunqin buying saline land for his sister. The third house of the Lin family made the most profit "..." Tao Shunqin also bought a lot of saline land in Will there be any connection in the middle? He suddenly sat up straight, with light in his eyes: "Tear me the details of the situation at that time!"

Seeing that he did not dislike disgust and seemed to be very interested, Lu Yan cautiously and seriously said the situation at that time.

After listening, Master Lu was silent and didn't say anything. He only pointed to the copper pot covered on the charcoal basin. Lu Yan quickly got up and wrapped the veil in a copper pot, poured hot soup into the tea bowl in front of him, and presented it with both hands.

Mr. Lu drank a soup slowly and waved his hand gently: "Go down."

Is that all? Lu Yan was slightly surprised and answered in a low voice. He saluted and walked to the door. He heard Master Lu say lightly behind him, "It's all kindness. You have done a good job so far. It's not easy to know you, but there's nothing you can do. This is your life. Don't always keep things in your heart. It's not good for you. Your aunt has many difficulties, but she still has your sixth brother. It's your mother. She has no one else. You should be more obedient and considerate.

Lu Yan turned around and saluted solemnly: "Grandfather taught me a lesson."

Master Lu waved to him, closed his eyes and leaned against the circle chair and fell into meditation. Everything was started by the Tao family. These three things have no profits and benefits at this moment. Let's wait slowly. When it's winter, it may be known.

Lu Yan just stepped on the bamboo shadow path outside the Jixian Pavilion, and heard someone sobbing softly, "Erlang, are you okay? Did your grandfather make you angry? Then a woman quickly walked out of the bamboo forest and walked to him. She pulled his cuff and sobbed in a low voice: "My poor Erlang..." But Tu Shi couldn't help holding a piece of handkerchief and crying.

Lu Yan frowned slightly and whispered, "Aun's aunt... Stop crying. Grandpa didn't embarrass me. The night is cool and the wind is strong. Be careful of the cold."

"Aunte?" Tu quickly covered the veil, and the rabbit looked left and right in shock: "Hasn't you been seen? I don't want to cause you trouble, and I really want to worry about you. I've been waiting for you here for a whole hour...

Lu Yan said softly, "Go back quickly. I'm really fine."

Tu's tears stopped and flowed down: "I really don't want to cause you trouble, but I really can't help it."... Your uncle's family can't be single for the rest of their lives, can you?

Your uncle said that the newly born child in your eldest cousin's family almost drowned, and he couldn't afford it anyway..."

Lu Yan's eyebrows are getting tighter and tighter: "No, wait a minute, wait until winter..."

"Will it be all right in winter?" Tu Shi raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yan expectantly. Suddenly, he heard a soft sound from the edge of the forest, and both of them broke out in a cold sweat. Lu Yan couldn't care about Tu's family and strode over: "Who?"
