Before he reached the exit, Lin Chuyi's expression was only on the window of the room on the ground, and a person was sticking his ear to the window, carefully investigating the situation inside. When he came down, Fan Nanjiang closed the doors and windows, and the windows were not glassy, but old-fashioned wooden windows and doors. So the other party can only listen quietly. From then on, the strength of his popularity and the purity of his spiritual sense, Lin Chuyi knew that his cultivation was by no means under Fan Nanjiang.

In Yunsheng Valley, there is still such a master? Then the decline of the Fa sect is really unreasonable.

When the two returned to the ground in the room, the person who was looking outside the window had quietly left. Lin Chu glanced at Fan Nanjiang, who was about to open the window, and saw that his expression was unusual, obviously not aware of the snooping person.

In order not to startle the snake, Lin Chu listened to Fan Nanjiang about his discovery, and signaled him not to make a noise. Fan Nanjiang's face was cold, his expression was complicated, and he nodded silently.

Yunsheng Valley is no longer the Yunsheng Valley he is familiar with.

When the two of them walked out of the living room, they saw a tall old man walking in a leisurely sweatshirt. said to be an old man, in fact, he is not very old, at most he is in his early 60s.

"Is Nanjiang back?" the old man said slowly as soon as he entered the door, "Why don't you say it in advance, I can ask the family to clean up a room and bed." ”

Fan Nanjiang looked respectful, and hurriedly responded: "It's me, the trip is in a hurry, and I haven't had time to inform the third uncle; in fact, it's good that I come back to live in the old room here; this little brother, Taijimen Mo Yu, is also a friend of life and death outside, and the martial arts realm is higher than me, so I don't plan to prepare a bed." I just took him to the old house, and by the way, I took a look at my eldest brother, who was also going to go to the second uncle's house to have a look, but I didn't expect your old man to come first. ”

Fan Nanjiang turned his head to look at Lin Chuyi and introduced: "Mo Yu, this is my third uncle Wen Zhigong; since my uncle and I left Yunsheng Valley one after another, the clan affairs in the village have been handled by his old man. ”

Lin Chuyi smiled at the visitor and greeted him: "Second uncle is good." ”

Fan Wenzhi glanced at Lin Chuyi and praised: "Brother Mo is really a talent, young and promising, old and admirable, admired." After dealing with it like this, his eyes immediately turned to Fan Nanjiang and said: "Nanjiang, I know that you have been working hard outside for so many years, and the affairs of the clan are not very clear. But according to the old rules, the matter of the old mansion should still be discussed with you clearly. While you are coming back now, there are not many people at home now, so tonight, the parents of all the families in the clan will have dinner at my house and discuss the affairs of the old house by the way. ”

In his words, he actually only admired this young and promising little brother twice, and he didn't care much. The old man's words are also very subtle and mysterious. Of course, Fan Nanjiang wouldn't fail to hear it, but he didn't move, but just arched his hand politely and said, "Then I'll go over and bother the second uncle tonight." ”

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a reproachful face: "Hey, whoever bothers or doesn't bother is a family." Your family has not been open all year round, and when you come back in the future, you will go to the third uncle's house. A few of you

Brothers, too, can't get together once or twice a year. ”

After saying the matter, the old man suddenly regained the familiarity and kindness of his family and elders, and his human feelings were skilled, which can be seen. After a few words of nagging without oil and salt, the old man took his leave first. said that there were two or three tables of food tonight, and he went back to check it first.

When the old man walked away, Fan Nanjiang sighed and said: "The third uncle was not like this originally, but now I don't know if he has received some benefits from the other party, or has a solid backer." Tonight, I'm afraid he'll be more like the head of the house than I am. ”

Lin Chuyi: "If you only discuss the sale of the house, it is simple." After all, the genealogy of your Fan family is very detailed. The disposal of ancestral property, the order of the head of the family, I don't believe it will not be recorded clearly in the classics. This is like the disposal of an estate, and the validity of the suicide note should still be above the default inheritance. ”

After he mentioned this, Fan Nanjiang was a little relieved. This is also the reason why he immediately went to visit almost everyone after entering the village. Those families are all minorities who have always refused to agree to sell their ancestral homes. I got angry first, and what I prevented was this sudden attack by Fan Wenzhi. Since Fan Wenzhi claims to be gathering people to discuss matters, it is impossible to miss them.

The former head of the family, Fan Wencheng, had three brothers; the second brother, Fan Wenqing, was the father of Fan Qianye and Fan Nanjiang; and the third brother, Fan Wenzhi. Fan Wenqing's martial arts qualifications were mediocre, but he was erudite and talented, and he had learned from the past and the present. But Fan Nanjiang is not like his father at all, but more like his uncle, he is extremely talented in martial arts, he is very open-minded, and he acts decisively but is as careful as a hair. Fan Wencheng has no children in his life, and he has always loved this nephew and regarded him as his own, but he has always been very strict in passing on his skills. Fan Nanjiang can stand out among the younger generations, in addition to his own talent and hard work, he also has his uncle's earnest teachings for more than ten years.

Fan Wenzhi's martial arts qualifications are still inferior to Fan Wenqing, but he is very shrewd, this kind of person looks like he has no ability, and he has no special skills, but he lives the most nourishing and gets the most benefits. The largest and tallest western-style building in the village is Fan Wenzhi's home. Fan Wenzhi's family is also the most prosperous, with three sons and one daughter. Fan Xiandong, the eldest of the elde, has been staying in the village, contracting a large area of mountainous land to engage in the cultivation of agricultural and sideline products, supplying local products to the city's local specialty company for a long time, with an annual income of no less than one million, and is currently serving as the village party secretary; his two younger brothers are both doing business in the city; and his sister is married to a wealthy businessman in Yichun.

Although the genealogy clearly stipulates that this big house is usually occupied and managed by the head of the family, there is no explanation for the inheritance of property rights. If the ancestral house of the Fan family is sold for 10 million, according to the local customary rules, it should be divided equally among the surviving descendants of the same clan surnamed Fan. Today, there are about 200 descendants in the village. If 10 million is divided like this, each head can be divided into 50,000.

For ordinary people, this is indeed a huge amount of money. But for Fan Wenzhi's family, this amount of money is simply insignificant.

It stands to reason that the Pham Van Chik family should not have agreed to sell the big house. After all, it is to get rich in the local area, and it is necessary to keep this iconic ancestral property in order to unite the clansmen and make their own family enjoy more

A lot of ancestral merits and a place of feng shui luck.

But since the developer was first approached, there have been indications that Mr. Van and his family have gone to great lengths to move around, lobbying their clansmen and pushing for a deal.

That's a bit of a weirdness. After talking about these various inside stories, Lin Chuyi and Fan Nanjiang discussed for a long time, but they couldn't analyze the reason.

The sun is thin, the sunset is all over the sky, and it is as bright as blood. As soon as Lin Chu walked out of the old house with Fan Nanjiang, he saw that in the valley under the hill in front of the door, bursts of clouds were rising, and they stopped at the hill here. The sea of clouds spread far beyond the hill, covering the entire valley. The village here is like a paradise fairyland, bathed in thousands of glows and clouds.

Lin Chuyi's childlike heart rose, along the stone steps on the slope in front of the big house, climbed the steps, and within a few steps, he had already stepped on the sea of clouds, like a celestial being.

What a blessed place!

Fan Nanjiang, who was standing in place, smiled and exclaimed, "Come up, it's time to go." Let's eat first. ”

A generation of family heads, standing at the mountain gate, came to such a joke, which is somewhat bleak.

Fan Wenzhi's western-style building is just behind the Fan family's old house, separated by an open space less than 50 meters wide, but it is in the middle of the front row of the houses in the village.

The western-style building has an exquisite structure and gorgeous decoration, which is particularly eye-catching in the village. The yard in front of the house is very wide, with rockery fish ponds and flower beds. In the high corridor, at the entrance of the living room, there is a pavilion to take advantage of the rain. Although the mountains and countryside are remote and the craftsmanship is slightly lacking, it has begun to take on the scale of a rich family's house.

The clansmen who came to the banquet were mostly middle-aged and elderly men, observing around the courtyard, pointing and pointing, talking and laughing. From the admiration and admiration of the scenery in the courtyard, it can be seen that they do not come often on weekdays.

Fan Wenzhi and his three sons were all present, smiling and radiant. Compared with a group of plainly dressed and honest clan villagers, there is a difference between cloud and mud.

In the past, as the head of the family, once Fan Nanjiang appeared at the clan gathering, it would be a scene of stars holding the moon. But now that he entered Fan Wenzhi's house, the relatives who attended the meeting did not show much enthusiasm, most of them just said hello very politely, and then went to enjoy the scenery of the courtyard with others. Some didn't even say hello, they just didn't see each other.

In the courtyard where people came and went, there were only a few people, gathered around Fan Nanjiang to talk and laugh.

Fan Xiandong, the village party secretary, walked over with his two younger brothers, Xian Ting and Xian Bang, with a smile on his face, and as soon as he stepped forward, he reached out and patted Fan Nanjiang's shoulders and said, "Brother, you are finally back." I haven't seen you for many years, and it's tougher than when I was in the valley. In Dongguan in the past few years, it must have mixed well. ”

Fan Nanjiang smiled and said lightly: "I'm ashamed, I'm in Dongguan, and I'm really not as good as you." This time about the ancestral house, it seems that the elder brother has also done a lot of work. ”

Fan Xiandong didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, and said with a smile: "Wherever and wherever it is, it's all my family's business; Yu Gong, we are the branch secretary elected by the village public, thanks to everyone's trust; Yu Private, we are all part of the Fan family." What's more, the previous generation of the head of the family is our grandfather, the previous generation of the head of the family,

It's also our uncle, and when you're not at home, brothers, you should share a little bit and do your best for the clan. ”

A sentence is said to be affectionate, reasonable, and decent. Speaking of the current head of the family, he is embarrassed to re-mention his status in the clan.

Fan Nanjiang was not good at this, so he casually exchanged a few words with these three successful cousins, greeted Lin Chuyi, and went into the house together. Fan Xiandong and his two younger brothers continued to stay in the courtyard, busy and greeting the clansmen who came one after another, enthusiastic and thoughtful.
