"How far can it be? I've got a few more steps to walk this old bone. Third Master Lu's face softened, but his tone was still not very polite, he twisted his beard and looked Lu Wenli up and down, sighed, and explained his intention straightforwardly, "It's rare for you to go back to your house all year round, if it weren't for Brother Yu'er who specially sent someone to invite me over, I wouldn't have the face to come to your house to attract people's suspicion." In my opinion, your eldest brother has been gone for many years, and Brother Yu has calmed down a lot, and now he can stand up to the door, so it is better to split up as soon as possible according to your eldest brother's wishes. I came here to be a witness, and I should share it with my brothers and sisters, and you, the second uncle, naturally know it in your heart. ”

Lu Wenli had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, his eyes swept over Wei Ping, and he didn't answer the words of the third master Lu, but politely invited the third master Lu to sit down, and asked the little maid to hurry up with the tea.

"The third uncle said very well, Brother Yu was admitted to the two rankings of Jinshi, and he was awarded an official by the imperial court, this is the first time in our Lu family, if the eldest brother still doesn't know, how happy he will be." Lu Wenli sighed with emotion, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, praised Lu Yu in a sad and relieved tone, and then changed his words, and sighed with a wry smile, "That kid is really talented in reading, but he doesn't pay much attention to general affairs." The third uncle also knew that in the first year of my eldest brother's visit, I asked Brother Yu to follow and manage the family's business, but in less than half a year, several shops lost money, and even the dowry shop left by my sister-in-law was almost not kept. I, who is the second uncle, have to take care of him a little. Now that he is an official, it is naturally good for him to remember these feelings, and if he doesn't remember, I don't blame him......"

As he was talking, there was a sudden commotion outside the Hanging Flower Gate, Lu Wenli's face changed slightly, and he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, when he heard an earth-shattering cry outside the door, and then he saw Second Mrs. Qin with a group of maids and wives forcibly breaking in, crying all the way into the hall, rushing to the place where the third master Lu was sitting, kneeling directly on the ground, wiping tears and crying: "The third uncle came just in time, and the nephew and daughter-in-law are thinking about asking the third uncle to call the shots." The niece and daughter-in-law are not virtuous, so they can't persuade the master, so they have to ask the third uncle to come forward......"

Lu Wenli's face was pale, and he stood up in an uproar, his face was blue and white for a while, and he raised his hand to drag Second Mrs. Qin. Second Mrs. Qin sneered and blocked Lu Wenli's hand, and without waiting for Lu Wenli to reprimand, she cried again and wiped her tears.

"What is the system of crying in front of the elders? Get out! Lu Wenli suppressed his anger and impatience, squeezed out a reprimand from between his teeth, and said coldly to the mother-in-law and girls who were trembling outside the door and did not dare to step forward, "Why don't you help your wife back?" ”

A few mothers-in-law, you look at me, I look at you, and then looked at the second Mrs. Qin who was kneeling in the center of the hall and Lu Wenli, who was so angry that her face turned pale, that she didn't dare to move for a while.

Lu Wenli was furious, and was about to open his mouth to scold and raise his eyes, but saw Third Mrs. Lu standing up with a disappointed face, his brows furrowed and glanced at Second Mrs. Qin, and said coldly to Lu Wenli: "It's not easy for me to interfere in your family affairs as an elder, you can do it yourself!" I'll go meet Brother Yu first, and I'll come back in the afternoon! After speaking, the third master Lu brushed his sleeves and left.

Seeing this, Wei Ping glanced coldly at Second Mrs. Qin, looked sarcastically at the center of the courtyard, politely saluted Lu Wenli and said goodbye, and followed Third Mrs. Lu all the way to the gate of the Lu Mansion.

Seeing that the person was gone, Second Mrs. Qin raised her hand and wiped her face, frowned and snorted with disdain, her previous heartbroken appearance seemed to be just an illusion of others, and without waiting for Lu Wenli to speak, she got up from the ground neatly and walked out without looking back.

Lu Wenli was so angry that he trembled, blocked in front of Second Mrs. Qin, slapped him, and raised his hand in the air but was blocked by Second Mrs. Qin with a sneer: "Do it with me as a woman, and the master is not afraid of being laughed at?" ”

"Master let you, don't be ignorant!" Lu Wenli raised his hand and pointed at Second Mrs. Qin, his face was blue, and he reprimanded in an extremely unceremonious tone, "You don't abide by women's morals, and the master can divorce you with a word!" You give me a stop! As he spoke, he turned around and was about to walk out.

"I'm not as good as my grandfather to keep outside!" Second Mrs. Qin's eyes were full of anger, and she reflexively dragged Lu Wenli, and the two tore for a while, and the hairpin rings on Second Mrs. Qin's head were scattered, and she held Lu Wenli and howled regardless of it, "The master thinks I'm an eyesore, it's just a matter of three-foot white silk." But Brother Hong is the grandson of the Lu family, and those who are not indiscriminate outside want to recognize the ancestors of the Lu family, and I will not agree even if I die......"

Second Mrs. Qin's crying sound spread all the way to the outer courtyard of the Lu Mansion, and the third Mrs. Lu frowned and listened to the sound in the courtyard, his face was extremely ugly, and he thought "the door is unfortunate", and sped up his steps to go out of the gate.

Wei Ping followed behind Third Master Lu without saying a word, glanced back at the door, his face was full of sarcasm, and after a moment of silence, Fang Chao nodded slightly at the little servant who was waiting next to the carriage. The little maid understood, and hurriedly helped the third master Lu to get into the carriage, as if inadvertently, he shook his head and muttered: "Hey, it's been a few days of trouble, and I don't know if the aunt and the little master outside can enter the door......"

When Third Master Lu heard this, his brows furrowed even more, his footsteps paused, and he shouted in a deep voice: "The master's affairs are also something you can discuss?" ”

The little guy trembled, was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, raised his hand and gave himself a slap, and vigorously admitted his mistake and begged for mercy: "Little mouthful!" Please also ask the third master to forgive his sins! ”

"That's it, get up." Third Master Lu closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, looked back at the gate of the Lu Mansion for a long time, and then retracted his gaze, shook his head in disappointment and got into the carriage.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Lu Wenli walked out of the gate of the Lu Mansion with a gloomy face, and went directly to the courtyard behind the county government to find Lu Yu, and reprimanded in a very unceremonious tone: "If you want to split the family, just say it, is it possible that my second uncle can still be greedy for your little silver?" For such a trivial matter, you let the elderly elders come all the way over, you are disrespectful and unfilial! ”

Lu Yu listened to Lu Wenli's reprimand calmly, with a faint smile in his eyes, gentle and gentle, so that people could not see the slightest displeasure. It wasn't until Lu Wenli made a fire that Lu Yu politely asked people to serve tea, with three points of apology and seven points of decisiveness in his tone, and smiled unhurriedly: "I didn't think about this matter, and I can't complain about the second uncle's anger." It's just that I'm a junior, and I don't know how to do general affairs, so I naturally have to ask the elders in the clan to watch it. The second uncle has worked hard for our brothers and sisters for all these years, and Lu Yu is grateful. How to divide this family, but it is arranged by the second uncle. With the third grandfather as a witness, people outside will never misunderstand the second uncle's mistreatment of his sons and nephews. ”
