Wang Quan and I trotted all the way again, and when we arrived at the door of the office, we were both a little out of breath, Wang Quan still habitually tidied up his clothes, raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door of the office-

"Dangdang Dang"

"Come in. Grandpa Wang Quan's voice sounded in the house.

Wang Quan and I pushed the door in—we saw Bing Fang Ling and Wang Quan's grandfather sitting at the coffee table, but today, Wang Quan's father and second uncle were not present.

Wang Quan's grandfather is still that amiable appearance, no different from the old men who practice Tai Chi downstairs in my house. If I didn't know his identity, I really wouldn't have seen that the old man was also a person in a high position.

Bing Cube Ling was as indifferent as ever, sitting upright on a stool, like a statue.

Looking at the ice cube Ling Na, I was full of questions and wanted to ask him, but this guy was tight-lipped, and I couldn't force him to ask, so I could only stare at him like a dried toad.

Seeing the two of us come in, Wang Quan's grandfather put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Come on, sit down." Then he motioned for me and the king to sit down on the row of chairs on the left.

Although I had already met the old man, I was still a little nervous, and when Wang Quan's wife saw that he was not there, he immediately relaxed, returned to his nature, and pulled me to sit on the row of chairs on the left side of the office with a hippie smile.

After the old man watched the two of us sit down, he gradually put away his smile and said slowly: "Okay, I don't like beating around the bush, old man, now that everyone is here, it's time to talk about business." ”

After listening to the old man's words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little solidified, the old man looked around, looked at me, and said again: "I won't say much about the verbose things, the general situation of our Wang clan must have been told by Xiao Quan'er, so let's focus on talking about this clan meeting." This clan meeting. After deliberation between our two families, we intend to elect a patriarch, but in fact, this patriarch. But it's not a blessing, it's a hot potato,"

When the old man said this, his face became gloomy and he paused. continued: "The person who is the patriarch will lead a group of people to enter the ancestral hall to explore the secrets. ”

Hearing this unfamiliar word, my eyes widened in surprise, and I turned my head to look at Wang Quan, and found that this kid also had a dignified face, at this time, Wang Quan's grandfather spoke again: "This ancestral hall was originally the old house of our ancestors, and later the ancestors moved out of there. Therefore, it was changed to an ancestral hall for our ancestors. And the purpose of electing the patriarch and entering the ancestral hall is to go to this ancestral hall to find something left by our ancestors. ”

"Looking for something?" the more I listened, the more confused I became, and I couldn't help muttering quietly, and turned my head to look at Wang Quan again—but what surprised me was that Wang Quan's guy was also stunned, which made me wonder in my heart: Could it be that this kid still doesn't know what he is going to do in the clan meeting?

Probably seeing my doubts, Wang Quan's grandfather's expression became a little softer again, and he said to me: "Xiao Quan, like you, doesn't know the true purpose of participating in the clan meeting. The old man said this. His cloudy eyes suddenly became a little dim, and he continued: "As for the matter of finding things, I am ashamed to say that I don't even know about the old man. When you enter this ancestral hall, you are looking for something. ”

"What? I heard you right, right? You, you said you don't know what to look for?" After hearing the old man's words, I could no longer suppress the surprise in my heart, my eyes were a little black, and I exclaimed directly. I kept roaring in my heart: Although I am now a house finch on the bell and drum tower, and I am used to being scared, but you can't scare me like this, can you? I don't know what to look for? Then what will we do when we go all the way to that clan? Do you give people heads?

However, the old man seemed to have anticipated my reaction, and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't be anxious, listen to me slowly," the old man took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and continued: "Actually, what that thing is, it doesn't matter to us at all, because our purpose is not here, but to prevent our family from getting that thing, otherwise, there will be chaos." Speaking of which, Wang Quan's grandfather is already unquestionable.

As soon as the old man's words fell, the air in the room became a little heavy, and at this moment I was completely sluggish:, what's this, what's going on? How can it be like an ancient martial arts novel? Could it be that what kind of martial arts secret book is hidden in the Wang family's ancestral hall? As soon as it was born, it caused a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes?

Hey, no, this Wang family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, could it be that there is some natural treasure hidden in it, a panacea?......

Just when I was sitting on the chair with a dumbfounded brain, the king next to me also looked incredible, and he stammered a little and asked, "Master...... Grandpa, since we don't want our family to pick up that thing, why do we have to wade into this troubled water? Wouldn't it be better to just stand by and make plans?"

Wang Quan's grandfather glanced at Wang Quan, and continued to say with a calm face: "We don't have the capital to take risks, besides, that ancestral hall is also very evil, otherwise do you think their own family will find us to participate in this matter?"

Wang Quan saw that his grandfather was a little angry, and quickly shut up obediently, waiting for his old man to continue.

The old man looked at me and Wang Quan, who looked confused, and continued to speak while rubbing the teacup in his hand: "Since I have said this, it seems that I have to mention some of the past......

The old man hesitated for a while, put down the teacup in his hand, as if he had made up his mind, and his face was a little sad, the old man sighed, and continued to speak: "Our grievances with our family have to start with a long letter left by my grandfather, my father......

As soon as I heard that the old man wanted to reminisce about the past, Wang Quan and I hurriedly pricked up our ears and looked at the old man Wang, like a kindergarten child, waiting for him to tell a story, while Bing Fang Ling was still sitting on the chair like a wood, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Next, there is a lengthy account of the contents of the letter by Grandpa Wang Quan......

The family of Wang Quan is a huge clan, and until today, in addition to the Wang family and the Wang family in Pingyao, there are four or five families scattered in Shanxi Province. Wang Quan's great-grandfather was an ordinary member of the Wang family, but he did not have the talent to learn Chinese medicine, so he did not inherit the tradition of his family. Therefore, he left home early and went to the rivers and lakes.

Fortunately, Wang Quan's grandfather has a flexible brain and a great talent for business, and with some of his own cleverness, he has just set up a small shop in the city and started some small business. At that time, in the upright and troubled times, Wang Quan's grandfather relied on his business acumen to resell grain to earn a lot of war money, and became a well-known figure in the local area.

However, it is an eternal law that men become bad as soon as they are rich. Besides, he was young and promising at that time, and he looked like a person, and the most important thing was that the ticket in his hand was thicker, and there were a lot of flattering ruffians and hooligans around him.

Therefore, he began to indulge, spending all day long with those friends who drank and meat, eating and drinking, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and sampling.

At first, he was able to rely on his savings and business to support his huge expenses, but as he became more and more extravagant, and his business became worse and worse, his finances gradually began to run a deficit.

Wang Quantai's grandfather's parents were anxious and helpless when they saw him like this, but they didn't listen to him.

At this time, he was already a big man, and the old couple was thinking about marrying him a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, becoming a family, and having a baby, maybe they would be able to take care of themselves.

In this way, Wang Quan's grandfather married the daughter of a scholarly family at that time, and the two of them were also a good match. Since both families are considered to be local famous families, the wedding day is very lively, there are many guests who come and go to congratulate them, and the house is still brightly lit until midnight.

When he first got married, Wang Quan's grandfather suddenly took a lot of heart, and he and his daughter-in-law were also respectful, the family was happy, and everything was developing in a good direction.

But it's a pity that after five years of marriage, Wang Quan's grandmother still hasn't been able to add a little and a half to Wang Quan's grandfather, which makes Wang Quan's grandfather, who was originally a little concerned, start to move again......

This time, Wang Quan's grandfather was even more excessive, and even for a week at most, he never came home once, his daughter-in-law quarreled with him, his parents' reprimand and helplessness, and his night and night sheng songs, so that the family, which had been calmed down, began to become troubled again.
