Soon, the people of Su County knew that Liu Dashan was going to hold a full moon banquet for his daughter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Relatives and friends who received the invitation, as well as neighbors left and right, all smiled and agreed. Some people are happy to eat and drink spicy food; some people smack their tongues behind their backs and give birth to a girl, and it is not worth making such a big show; and some people are so miserable that they feel that the money spent by Liu Dashan is all their own family.

This person is Liu Dashanren's brother, and he is also the landlord of the tenant Liu Landlord where Zhu Chongba works.

The reason why Landlord Liu was extremely painful was: How could Liu Dashan have a future? How could he have a future? What should he do if he has a future?

Landlord Liu and Liu Dashan were cousins, but when Liu Dashan was down, Landlord Liu did not help, and he was sneering and sneering, and the two families were naturally not very close. Unexpectedly, Liu Dashan went out to do business for a few years, and actually made a fortune and brought back a lot of money to revitalize his family, which made people red-eyed. Landlord Liu licked his face and got close to his cousin again, and went around the bush to find out why Liu Dashan made a fortune.

It is a matter of net worth and life, of course Liu Dashan will not reveal half a point.

Liu Landlord had no hope of exploring, so he simply prayed at home every day: I hope that my cousin will never have a queen and die of illness as soon as possible, and once my cousin dies, his family's property will naturally fall into his name.

Although this idea was absurd, it was normal at the time - the patriarchal law and the family system stipulated that if the family did not have a direct male to inherit the property after the death of the patriarch, the inheritance would be inherited by a man of the same clan - so it was forbidden for the landlord to regard his cousin's property as his own.

Before Liu Xiuying was born, Landlord Liu even proposed to give a son to his cousin early, but was rejected by his cousin.

Sure enough, there are many dreams at night, and within two years, the cousin's family actually gave birth to a daughter, although it is not a man, but the niece can recruit a husband in the future, so that the cousin's family property can fall into the hands of outsiders. Moreover, Liu Xiuying's birth proves that her cousin can have children, and if she has another son in the future, the family wealth will have nothing to do with Landlord Liu.

As soon as he thought of these circumstances, Landlord Liu felt that his heart ached like a knife, and he wished that his niece Liu Xiuying would die before the full moon.

The night before attending the full moon banquet, Landlord Liu had red eyes and gritted his teeth and said to his daughter-in-law: "Liu Qi, this damn miscellaneous hair, can still give birth to a female baby, and he actually gives a girl a full moon banquet with great fanfare, how much silver does it cost." That's all money, my money!"

The landlord's mother-in-law pouted with the same feeling, "That's it, that's it, what is there to celebrate with a girl's film, I heard that the uncle spent one hundred and eighty taels just to give this girl a household name, and tomorrow's banquet will not be dozens of taels." Alas, so much silver was gone. You said that the uncle was so lucky, he made a fortune within a few years of going out to do business, and he was about to cut off his children and grandchildren, and gave birth to a daughter. ”

"Hmph, that's not my Liu family's feng shui. When his parents died, he was helpless, and the patriarch saw him pitiful, and folded his family's land into silver and took it back, so he had the capital to start a business. It's hateful that this guy is a white-eyed wolf, not to mention contributing to the clan to help the clansmen with money, but instead using it to help outsiders build bridges and pave roads, and throwing out the silver in vain to exchange for a fake reputation that can't be eaten or worn, it's just too hateful!" Landlord Liu grabbed a handful in the air viciously, as if he could catch back the used silver.

The landlord's wife snorted: "I heard from the clansmen that he still took some money to repair the ancestral hall. ”

Landlord Liu's eyes widened, as if he wanted to eat people, "What is that money? It's far worse than what he threw outside." The patriarch was still unhappy about this last time, saying that he only donated 100 taels to the clan, but 500 taels were spent outside to build bridges and pave roads. ”

"Uncle is so rich?" The landlord's mother-in-law's eyes were shining, and her two thin lips were closed, "Then let our son marry his daughter, and his family's money will not be ours at that time." ”

"Well, that's a good idea. San'er is five years old this year, and he can set a baby first. Landlord Liu calmed down and nodded, "You also have to have a good relationship with his mother-in-law, ask his mother-in-law to blow the pillow wind for him, and book this family affair as soon as possible." As long as you become a member of my family, are you afraid that you won't be able to get that share of the family wealth? ”

"Then we have to send something to his daughter tomorrow, shall we?"

"What to send, let's go for a treat. It's not a shame to have a girl's full moon wine, you see, the patriarch and the clan elders will definitely not go when the time comes. ”

"But aren't we going to say goodbye?"

Landlord Liu was in pain for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Forget it, I don't want the child to catch the wolf, you go to the warehouse and take out the box in the corner." ”

On the day of the full moon banquet, Liu's house was lit up, and everyone's faces were filled with cheerful smiles, of course, excluding Liu Xiuying, who wanted to cry without tears.

The rising sun quickly dried the dew, and the temperature became hotter and hotter. Liu Xiuying wore a custom-made Xiaoji suit wrapped in swaddling clothes, and the cotton hat around the door was carefully sewn by Ma's beads and jade. If she could speak, Liu Xiuying would have shouted regardless of her shyness: This is summer! This is summer! Please don't cover it! Do you dare to change my belly pocket!

The smiling Liu Dashan didn't notice the girl's painful expression at all, and put a long-life lock made of pure gold on the girl with his own hands.

This longevity lock is really beautiful, the thick skein chain of leek leaves, the walnut-sized lock heart, one side of the lock is carved with a unicorn, and the other side is engraved with the words "longevity and 100 years old".

"The typical nouveau riche behavior is to focus on showing off and ignoring the safety of their children. Liu Xiuying was reluctant to take this chain that was remembered by thieves, and the heavy longevity lock made her almost out of breath, and her little hand couldn't pull it off for a long time, and finally Ma understood her movements, and took off the longevity lock to make her laugh.

Compared with the longevity lock given by Liu Dashanren, Ma's thing is a little ordinary, it is a very ordinary green jade bracelet, and there are some impurities in it. Ma held it like a rare treasure, and regardless of whether the girl could understand it or not, Yin Yin said: "Ying'er, this is what your grandmother left to your mother, although it is not valuable, but it is your grandmother's heart for your mother, and now your mother will pass it on to you." Your grandmother's spirit in heaven will surely bless you to grow up safely. ”

Through their conversations, Liu Xiuying knew that her mother Ma had fled to Su County with her family, but unfortunately Ma's relatives died of starvation and illness along the way, and Ma had no choice but to sell herself as a maid, and happened to be met by Liu Dashan, who returned to his hometown. Liu Dashan was tired of licking blood from the knife, and also wanted to live a life of wife, children, and hot kang, seeing that Ma was still a yellow flower girl, and she looked good, so she simply married and went home to live in peace.

Liu Xiuying's eyes blinked, her mouth cracked, and her little hand was raised.

Ma was overjoyed and hurriedly put the jade bracelet on Liu Xiuying's hand, but the jade bracelet was too big, and Liu Xiuying's arm was too thin, even if it was touched on her arm, it couldn't be tightened. The scene of sliding down as soon as he moved was so funny that Ma, who had slightly red eyes, laughed directly into tears.

In desperation, the couple decided to put away the longevity lock and jade bracelet first, and then hand them over to Liu Xiuying when she grew up.

At noon, the guests of the banquet came to the door one after another.

Liu's house is not so particular, men, women and children are all in the same courtyard with mats. Liu Dashan made a special trip to book 20 tables in the restaurant. Seeing all kinds of delicacies, the guests smiled heartily, and the words of compliments were one after another, almost not holding Liu Dashan to the sky.

Landlord Liu and the landlord's wife also appeared in bright clothes, and the two looked around when they entered the door, and sure enough, they didn't see the patriarch and others, and immediately whispered, "Look, sir, the patriarch really didn't come." ”

"Of course, it's not a big deal, isn't the patriarch's face worth a girl's film? ”

Liu Dashan, who was standing in the courtyard to greet the guests, saw the Liu landlord and his wife who were talking to each other, his brows frowned slightly, although he also greeted the clan and handed over the post, but he knew the nature of the clan, he did not expect anyone in the clan to come to participate in the full moon banquet of the daughter, and he didn't expect this black-hearted couple to come.

Although Liu Dashan is a big old man, he is never confused, who is good to himself and who is bad to himself, he also has a rod and scale in his heart.

As soon as his parents died, Liu Dashan had not yet reached the crown, and the clan wanted to "help" with the fields on the grounds that his family was not enough to take care of the crops. said that he was helping, but he proposed that the harvest would be 28 cents, and others would take 80 cents, and he would take 20 cents, on the grounds that people would pay for seedlings and labor, and he would just sit back and enjoy the results. This sounds reasonable, but in fact, if he rents to tenants, he can still get forty percent, and outsiders give more than his clansmen, so how can Liu Dashan be willing to agree to such bad conditions. Fortunately, he had a land deed in his hand, so he simply sold the land to the clan at a low price, saving him from being remembered every day.

That's it, there are still some red-eyed clansmen who come to fight the autumn breeze twice in three days, especially the landlord Liu refused to move his nest when he lived in his house on the grounds of taking care of his cousin, forcing Liu Dashan to go out.

As soon as they heard that Liu Dashan was leaving Su County, the clansmen who couldn't fight the autumn breeze turned their faces one after another and took away all the valuable things at home, saying that he didn't need it anyway. On the day he left, no one sent him off, and Liu Dashan's heart was like the cold of the cold winter moon into the bone marrow.

However, when Liu Dashan came back with money, the clan immediately came to the door, and after saying a few words with reason and emotion, he began to make requests, one to repair the ancestral hall, and one to make up for the lonely old in the clan, so to say that he wanted money. As a member of the family, Liu Dashan can't leave the Liu family ancestral hall alone, but he is not a stupid boy who was bullied back then. Yes, the name of the account book is clear, how much others pay, how much he pays, and what others don't pay, he doesn't pay a penny.

The patriarch can't help it, they are all clansmen, he can't favor one over the other, and force Liu Dashan to pay more money, but he is obviously angry at Liu Dashan's yin and yang attitude, and he is always very cold when he meets and talks. Even the clansmen don't like the "stingy" Liu Dashan, so naturally no one came to attend the full moon banquet of Liu Dashan's daughter.

Thinking about it, Liu Dashan still stepped forward with a smile on his face to greet the landlord and his wife, "Cousin, cousin-in-law, what a rare guest, please come in." ”

"Hehe, how can we not come to my niece's full moon wine. Landlord Liu said haha, while signaling the landlord's wife to send a congratulatory gift.
