Chapter 40: Farewell to the Old
Different from other branches, this vein of Liyang City can be said to be the base of the Chu family, because the ancestral shrine is here, so even if there are more things, because tomorrow is the New Year, they will all stay in the Chu family in Liyang City.
Out of the Yanwu Hall, there were obviously a lot more people in the house than usual, Chu Huohe and Chu Xiong walked back by themselves, their mood was not beautiful, what was the use of two million taels of IOUs, the two decided to go to the account office now and try to cash out.
"Isn't that your brother? Looking at the bitter and bitter appearance, it seems that he is very dissatisfied with being robbed of the place in the White Deer Academy by the elders. ”
When Chu Huojiu heard this, he looked back, and saw Chu Xiong and Chu Huohe walking side by side, and when he arrived in front of him, Chu Huojiu obediently called Chu Xiong a father, it seemed that since Chu Huohe recovered his cultivation in the winter test, she had a gap with Chu Xiong in her heart, Chu Xiong didn't have any thoughts in this regard, and smiled slightly, but the smile was very ugly, because the two million taels pressed in her heart were too heavy.
After passing by, the two of them walked farther and farther, and Chu Huojiu turned back to the clan brother who had just spoken to him and said, "What if he is dissatisfied, the quota is not his, and he has no weight in his heart?"
"Haha, yes, but now he must be envious of Chu Huairen and the three of them. ”
Chu Xiong, who had gone far away, went and returned, and he was already in a bad mood, but when he heard this kind of words, he became even more angry, and said sarcastically to the junior who spoke: "I've heard that the grass chicken envies the goshawk, but when have you heard that Sister Lou of Wanhualou envies your mother's nightlife?" After thinking about it, this analogy seemed a little inappropriate, and he couldn't think of suitable words, so he turned his head to Chu Huohe, meaning to let him come.
Chu Huohe was speechless, Lao Chu's mood looked really bad, and he was embarrassed to talk at the stunned fellow clan and Chu Huojiu arched his hand, pulling Chu Xiong and about to leave.
Chu Xiong asked dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing? The wings are stiff? I haven't finished yet." ”
The movement here naturally attracted the attention of other people, people are born to like lively animals, see the excitement to see, and after a while the surrounding area will be full of people, some big and some small. They are all cultivators, most of them are sensitive, and of course other people heard Chu Xiong's words, and there was laughter for a while, and those who heard it told those who didn't hear it, and after they didn't hear it, they hurriedly told their friends who were farther away.
"Uncle Clan, I don't know what you mean by this, isn't it your mother who provoked you? If Uncle Clan can't say why, the younger generation will have to go to the elder to talk about it. Chu Huaixiang didn't dare to say anything, but there were already more people around, if he was so timid, how would he get along with his peers in the future, besides, there were many people here, and Chu Xiong didn't dare to do anything to himself when he wanted to come, so he dared to question Chu Xiong.
"Look at your face, isn't it from the vein of Liyang City?"
"Uncle Clan thinks that the other veins are inferior, so let you scold?"
"You can say whatever I ask you, take care of him left and right, and if you misinterpret what I mean, it will seem that you are very smart?" Chu Xiong, who has been the head of the family for so many years, is naturally not a brainless person, this Chu Huaixiang is not pure-minded, and obviously wants to provoke other branches to stand on the opposite side of himself.
"It's true that I'm not a descendant of the main lineage of Liyang City, but the incident of Uncle Clan's humiliation of my mother has something to do with this matter?
Chu Xiong asked with a puzzled face, "When did I humiliate your mother?"
Chu Huaixiang said with a sad face: "Everyone heard it. ”
Chu Xiong sighed and looked at Chu Huaixiang pitifully: "Why don't you think about that sentence again?" Everyone heard it clearly, but they didn't taste it carefully, and they didn't understand at this moment, could it be that there was something else?"
Chu Huohe thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't taste the taste, and he didn't understand what it meant, but the others slowly reacted.
"Wonderful, Chu Huai is like his mother's nightlife, it is like drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing, whether his father can do it or not, that is his mother's eternal secret. Why should the kiln sister of Wanhualou be envious. ”
"This is a joke with Chu Huaixiang and his father, haha. "The head of the family is worthy of being an old Jianghu, how can he say such a witty word without decades of life in the flower field, they are all the children of everyone, Wanhualou naturally goes, and they all like to go, and they are proud of Chuxiong for a while.
Chu Huaixiang had also figured out the key points, but he didn't dare to speak out when he was angry, and he couldn't talk about it, so he had to look at Chu Xiong deadly.
"What kind of dissatisfaction do you have when you look at me like this? I'm joking with your father, can't I? Your father is very powerful? I don't want to have a relationship with me Chuxiong?"
A series of questions hit Chu Huaixiang on the head like a bombardment, where did Chu Huaixiang dare to say anything, so he had to give his hand and say: "The juniors don't dare." ”
Although Chu Xiong won the battle, for others, he still felt that Chu Huohe was a poor person, and a great opportunity was taken away, and it was very uncomfortable to think about it, some people were secretly happy about it, and some people were sympathetic to it.
Chu Xiong snorted coldly, followed Chu Huohe away, and before he had gone far, Chu Huohe suddenly stopped, Chu Huojiu and others didn't know what he meant, Chu Huojiu cursed in his heart: "It's endless, it's not your quota in the first place, what can you do if you are deprived, who will support you?"
"Actually, I don't want to explain anything, after all, it's really nothing to me, but it seems to be quite important to you, so I'll explain, that place is given up by me, not something to deprive you, what you yearn for, in fact...... Actually, I don't really have much interest. ”
"By the way, if you don't believe it, go to the Elder Hall and ask. ”
After finishing speaking, his heart was much more comfortable, Fang Ran was just Chu Xiong, Chu Huohe didn't feel it, he just felt that others were always talking about him, and he was a little uncomfortable.
The two left in style, leaving only a group of red-faced people looking at each other. Although it is unbelievable, it will not be fake, if it is not interesting to say such big words for the sake of face, if it is asked by someone at that time, the actual situation is not the case, then it will be even more of a slap in the face.
..........
In the account room of the Chu family, the third uncle of the account room looked at the two people in front of him with a slight headache, the great elder usually doesn't care about worldly things, but today he specially transmitted the sound to him and asked him to make an IOU of two million taels for Chu Xiong's father and son, but at the end he asked himself: "Do you understand what I mean?" He wanted to reply, saying that the juniors didn't understand, but what kind of sound transmission techniques would be there, so he had to hesitate here, and before he could figure out the meaning, the two had already arrived in the hall, so they had to smile and greet him.
"Master, what do you command?"
"Ahem, I'll take the money, whether it's a silver ticket or a cash bank, it's okay, don't pick it. ”
"Okay, let me see, the head of the family, your private treasury still has more than 290,000 taels, do I take it and send it to your courtyard, or do you go with me to get it?" ”
"Don't come here, didn't the Great Elder inform you? I'll take my son's compensation. ”
The so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the account office has heard a little about this matter, after all, the clan association itself has a few juniors who have gone, and the reason why he didn't go is because there are too many things here, and at this moment, it turns out that the money that the elder said is compensation. After years of experience, I figured out the key to it, and said: "Look at my memory, I just received the transmission, and I forgot about it, but it is really too much of an expense in the Japanese clan, so I will prepare it for you, you wait a minute." ”
Chu Huohe was excited in his heart, so it seemed that this money had a play, but Chu Xiong's heart was cold to the soles of his feet, and he secretly scolded the old fox.
The account room carefully flipped through the account book, constantly fiddling with the abacus in his hand, sometimes excited, sometimes scratching his ears and cheeks, the more Chu Xiong looked at it, the more angry he became, he couldn't just say it, what to play. Xiao Ai, who had been quiet for a long time, said: "It's obviously Coke, what Sprite do you have to pack?" Chu Huohe was puzzled and asked what was wrong in the sea of knowledge, Xiao Ai chuckled and was silent.
After a long time, the account looked embarrassed and walked to Chu Xiong's side, "The eldest elder asked you to open an IOU, and the small one wanted to exchange it for cash for you, but it is really too much money in the clan recently, and so much silver can't fall out of the account, why don't you give you the IOU first?"
"Hmph, then you've been counting for so long, tell me how much you can take out now?"
"It's not a secret, 100,000 taels is the limit. ”
"Even, then you can bring it to me, and the rest of the IOU. ”
"This ...... Okay, then you go back first, I'll send it to you after scheduling, do you think it's okay?"
"That's fine, send it to He'er's courtyard" After speaking, Chu Xiong walked out of the account room without looking back, and Chu Huohe followed silently, like a child who had done something wrong. Seeing the two leaving, the account room breathed a sigh of relief, the elder's meaning was not clear, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to do it first, if the elder didn't have follow-up instructions, he planned to give the money slowly in twenty years.
"Old Chu, this ......" Chu Huohe wanted to speak and stopped, the reason why he asked for silver taels this time was because he had this plan since he knew what the master looked like, and it seemed that he still had to rely on himself, and he had this plan at that time, but he just happened to encounter this opportunity, so he mentioned it by the way.
"Hey, son, don't believe the old things in the future, remember, the older you are, the more you can't believe it, at least don't just listen, think about it. ”
Chu Huohe sighed in his heart, he thought he was very smart, but in the eyes of the old guys, he was still tender and pitiful. After returning to the courtyard, he meditated and recovered, the aura that the second elder had given himself before was someone else's after all, and if he wanted to use it for his own use, he also needed to run the transformation according to his own exercises.
Xiao Ai appeared beside Chu Huohe and looked at Chu Huohe quietly, without saying a word.
The next day, Chu Huohe slowly opened his eyes, not because he was fully recovered, but because the sound of firecrackers around him was too noisy, and when he walked out of the door, the snow was still falling, and the snow in the courtyard was naturally dealt with by someone else, but there would be no possibility of being sealed by the snow.
"Happy New Year. ”
