Volume Three: Courage Chapter 19: Three Thousand Copper Coins
Early the next morning, there were more and more people in the ancient mansion hall, and the one sitting on the top was the big pavilion guy, who was already two hundred years old, which was already an advanced age compared to her at the fourth realm consummation stage.
"The lord of the house is gone, and the old man is about to leave, as for who is the lord of the house, the old man can't take care of it, let.. Let the Great Elder decide. "The big pavilion guy's breathless appearance is really sweaty.
The Great Elder is the old man who sits first on the right side, his name is Gu Qian, he is the same generation as the deceased Mansion Master, and he is a generation younger than the Great Pavilion Guy.
"I didn't want the cabinet guy to come forward, everyone understands his old man's body, but it's a matter of the lord's responsibility. The Great Elder's face was full of apologies, as if he had done something unfilial. "The cabinet guy asked me to be the official of this matter, then I can only tell the truth, the most qualified among the juniors is naturally Gu Yi. ”
Gu Qian looked at him sitting in the lower seat, and understood very well in his heart that he could serve as the master of the mansion among the juniors.
When Gu Yi first wanted to get up, he was preempted by his sister. "My brother is naturally qualified to be the lord of the mansion, and I don't want some people to be old and compete!" Gu Cai said with Erlang's leg on his legs.
"Presumptuous!" Elder Furukawa got up with anger on his face, "As a female streamer, I can already give you enough face in the hall, and you are still full of nonsense, aren't you afraid of enforcing the family law?"
Under normal circumstances, almost all the women in the synagogue are inaccessible, not to mention today's synagogue, Gu Cai's ability to enter is all based on his brother's face.
Gu Cai snorted, and said indifferently: "Return to the family law, the family law ancient mansion customized by you moths will disappear sooner or later!" She turned her head and left the hall, if it weren't for the ancient meaning, she would probably not return to the ancient mansion in this life.
Furukawa's eyes widened and he looked at the juniors who left incredulously, this kind of words can be closed in the back mountain by family law!
It's just that he was stopped by Gu Qian, he shook his head at Gu He, and he didn't need any strong wrists to develop things at this point.
Everyone in the synagogue looked at Gu Yi, the junior who was the most competitive for the lord of the mansion, how would he choose to face it in the end?
Gu Yi is helpless in addition to anger in his heart, the position of the lord of the house has always been passed on to the juniors, and the older generation can only be used as support. Some people are more refined the older they are, but the old also represents the old customs, which will make the city go lonely.
Although the juniors may be lacking in strategy and development, the vitality and judgment of the world in the juniors are beyond the reach of the older generation. Therefore, the younger generation can control the progress of the city, while the older generation can only protect the safety of the city.
"I have never been greedy for power and money, all I want is for the ancient mansion to flourish. If there is someone to support me, I will take office, and if there is no one to support me, I will leave. "Even if there is no hope of victory, he still wants to try.
As soon as Gu Yi's words came out, it could be regarded as unveiling a curtain, and Gu Qian's people had long known that he was going to be the head of the mansion, but he couldn't say it clearly because of the clan rules.
Gu Qian's face showed pity: "We all know the heart of Gu Yi, but your age and experience are not enough, and it is difficult for you to serve as the lord of the mansion." ”
It seems to be for the sake of the ancient mansion and the good words of the ancient meaning, but in fact, it is just for himself to take the position of the lord of the mansion.
Guhe followed his words: "The Great Elder Gu is also for the development of the Ancient Mansion, but the wolves can't do without the wolf's head. He looked embarrassed, and he polished a lot for this play. "Why don't you let the Great Elder Gu temporarily take the place of the Mansion Master first?"
"This is a good suggestion, the juniors are still young, and they are not suitable to be the head of the mansion now. Instead, let the Great Elder replace him first, and when the junior grows up in a few years, then the Great Elder will retire successfully. ”
"However, the clan rules say that no matter how young the junior is, he can be the head of the house. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, the clan rules are just old things, and we naturally need to improve it when we live in the present. ”
"Yes, yes, living in the present should change. But is the Great Elder willing?"
The discussion in the hall was intense, but the discerning people understood what was going on at a glance, and the words of these people were all directed towards Gu Qian, and even if they were opposed, it was only a matter the size of a sesame seed, and they didn't grasp the point at all.
Gu Qian made an oath that he would give up when the junior grew up, and wait for the junior or wait for his son? At that time, Gu Yi would have no power in the mansion, and Gu Qian's son would have the support of a large number of elders, plus his identity as the lord of the mansion, he would be extremely safe!
Gu Yi left the synagogue alone, and his sister waited outside for a long time. "Thank you. ”
"Thank me for what I'm doing, but I'm telling the truth. Gu Cai's eyes were cold, full of anger.
What he thanked was that Gu Cai said what he wanted to say the most, even if the ancient mansion would not be lonely, it would not rise again. Counting on a selfish person, how can he make the ancient mansion famous?
"If I have the temperament of a general, how can I end up like this?" Gu Yi thought of a person, how huge his figure was, and how high-spirited he was.
Gu Cai also knew who her brother was talking about, when she first met that person in the academy competition, to be honest, she was not optimistic that kendo would be able to walk the last way.
But later he met him in the final, and then Gu Cai felt his difference. "Brother, you are a genius with him, why should you envy him?"
The twenty-six-year-old Gu Yi was the youngest person in the Fucheng City to achieve the Great Perfection of the Third Realm, and if there was no accident, he could break through to the Fourth Realm before the age of thirty-five. Gu Cai guessed that the person was also the Third Realm Great Perfection, but he would be younger than his brother.
"There is a big gap between me and him, even in the same realm, he can beat me with one move. "Gu Yi has a deep memory of the sword he slashed when he was in the Burning Desert, and if he slashed himself, he would definitely die.
Gu Cai didn't believe it. "Brother, you have a secret technique, what does he have?" mentioned the secret technique is not only Gu Yi proud, but also the younger sister.
At the beginning, so many people entered the pagoda in the palace city, but no one could be recognized, only Gu Yi was recognized and obtained the secret art.
"When you see how terrifying he is, you understand why I admire him. Gu Yi touched her hair, and the two walked out of the ancient mansion together.
After Gu Yi left, the entire synagogue gradually quieted down, and with the fall of the big pavilion, everyone retreated, leaving only Gu Qian and Gu He.
"Since the big cabinet guy is dead, then let you take this position. Gu Qianyi sat on the throne of the mansion master, and his heart was very comfortable.
Furukawa was pleasantly surprised at first, but then a little confused. "According to the clan rules, the position of this big pavilion guy must be one generation higher than the lord of the mansion. ”
"Is there a mansion master now?" Gu Qian asked rhetorically with a laugh. "Now it's just me, the acting lord. ”
This concept is very quintessential, Gu Qian is the lord of the mansion is just an agent, in fact, there is no official lord of the mansion, that is to say, Gu He does not have to think about the matter of seniority at all.
Furukawa first turned things around in his mind, and immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "That's right! Thank you, Lord Mansion!"
"You've done so much for me, and you deserve it. ”
"Lord of the Mansion, please rest assured, after I serve as the Lord, are you still worried that the young master will not be able to serve as the lord of the mansion?"
Why did Gu Qian reuse him? It was because he was very enlightened! At this time, he was made to serve as the lord of the Great Pavilion, on the one hand, to reward him, and on the other hand, to help his son pave the way.
At that time, even if Gu Yi is the fourth realm, what if there is a big pavilion elder, who will support him to become the head of the mansion?
"Is that done?" Gu Qian showed a worried look, after all, this matter could not be seen in the light of day.
"Rest assured, you're in control. It's just that Hu Laosan wants to get rid of it?"
"Hu Laosan, just his brother?"
"Yes, thanks to him. ”
"Why keep it? Get rid of it. ”
There are many official families in the Eastern District, there are big officials and small officials, usually the family background is thick, the family naturally chooses the big official's door, and the weak family background also goes to the small official's door. Cuihua and Hu Han, who arrived from the southern district, are in the gate of the petty official at the moment.
"Three thousand copper coins? is that Hu Hai's daughter-in-law again?" Zhao Qing held a bag of copper coins in his hand, which was the money that Hu Kong gave to Cuihua. Tell him that Hu Hai sank to the bottom of the sea due to the rupture of the ship's hull, not that he encountered water thieves. ”
"Yes!" the guard happily walked towards the door, he didn't want to go out on an errand on this hot day, and it was better to solve it verbally.
Cuihua and Hu Han, who were kneeling outside the door, looked at the door with expectant eyes, and the guards who ran out hurriedly pounced on them.
"May I ask if Lord Zhao is willing to send troops to Immortal Lake?" Cuihua hugged the guard's thigh, looking very excited.
The guard shook her body away vigorously, "Lord Zhao said that your husband, Hu Hai, died from the rupture of the ship's hull, not from encountering water thieves. Before he left, he didn't forget to add: "Your three thousand copper coins are also worth the price." ”
"How could it be! It couldn't be that the hull was broken, it couldn't be, my lord!" cried out Cuihua's eyes reddened.
Hu Han hurriedly grabbed his mother, and if he went any further, he would be chased and beaten by the guards. But his strength was small, and he couldn't pull his mother to climb forward at all, so he climbed to the doorstep at once.
Seeing this, the guard standing in front of the door did not pity the mother and son, and picked up the guard plank in his hand and split it at the two of them.
"Stop!" "Pull out the scabbard to block the plank, staring coldly at the guard who raised the plank.
In an instant, a sword intent pierced into his heart, and the guard did not move as if it were petrified.
"Thank you, brother..."Hu Han hurriedly picked up his mother and walked out, but his legs were not strong enough to fall down.
Jiang Tian walked over and lifted Cuihua, "Let me come, you lead the way." ”
Hu Han showed a grateful look and walked towards the southern district, and it was only a matter of ten minutes to walk.
He led all the way to a grass hut, and when he opened the door, there was a cotton bed, and next door was a haystack bed.
"Thank you brother for your help, I will definitely thank you in the future!" Hu Han has lived with his father since he was a child, and many principles of life and work were taught by his father.
Jiang Tian is more concerned about why this mother and son have to break into the official door? "You don't look like a poor family, can you tell me?"
From Hu Han's body, it can be clearly felt that he is from a wealthy family, which cannot escape the eyes of Jiangtian, he doesn't know how many children from rich families he has seen since he was a child.
