After chattering for a while, the old lady relaxed a lot, and simply let Tang Yulan move a chair and sit under his left hand, smoking a cigar, patting his shoulder, his eyes looked into the distance, showing a look of reminiscence, and his voice trembled and said: "Xiaolan, you and the people of your father's generation have only heard of it, but they don't know, they don't know......"

Tang Yu Lanzhang and the second monk were puzzled, so they could only laugh dryly. The cigar in his mouth forgot to smoke and went out. Because he was reluctant to waste it, he stuffed it into the cigarette case again.

“…… Until now, our Tang family has not fallen into such a field, and I don't seem to be reconciled. Old lady Tang said: "There is no decent one in the family, your father and several uncles are not that piece of material, and they are complacent when they make a few dollars in business, thinking that they are amazing." Of course, I'm not that material, and I don't even have a pillar at home. In the words, there is endless vicissitudes and desolation.

That feeling, as if modern people look at the dilapidated Old Summer Palace is a feeling.

Tang Yulan didn't understand why the old lady said this, so she got up and poured a glass of water for her grandfather to moisten his throat.

The old lady's lips were dry, but she didn't pick up the teacup, she just looked at the ceiling stupidly, and said, "Do you know, a hundred years ago, there were two wealthy families and three families in Lingjiang City. These two wealthy families are above the three major families, it is our Tang family and Zhu family! ”

One sentence was loud, and every word was like a hammer smashed on Tang Yulan's heart, making his body tremble twice, and he was stunned: "What, that, how can I ...... now?"

The old lady took a deep breath and said, "Talents are withering, and the words of the two wealthy families have slowly been forgotten, and five families have been formed. With the support of your great-grandfather Tang Yin, the Tang family is also considered to have a strong momentum, and it is firmly in the first place among the five major families. His reputation is recorded in the history of Lingjiang, and even in the library of Lingjiang University, you can find records about him. If your great-grandfather hadn't been too arrogant, he would have done more, and maybe he would have become a generation of generals. ”

Tang Yulan's thoughts followed Tang Xiugu's description, and it seemed that he had come to more than seventy years ago, and he saw his great-grandfather's outstanding demeanor, and secretly wondered: Perhaps, the bone appearance of the great-grandfather is also very peculiar, is it also a rhino through the top?

The old lady's vicissitudes of life floated in front of his ears, and he slowly narrated: "At that time, Lingjiang belonged to our Tang family and your great-ancestor, and all the glory was supported by him alone, and no one dared to underestimate it. It's a pity, your great-grandfather went too early, there is no successor in the family, and the five major families have also become the four major families. Now, I'm ashamed to mention it to others! ”

Tang Yu Lantong guò understands history and knows that at that time, there were turbulent and wars, and the more troubled the times, heroes emerged! With the power of one person, it is possible to turn the situation around.

The Zhu family also had a rich family background in the past, and funded the national army to fight against foreign aggression, but it also hit seven or eight out of ten in the cultural movement, and now it has become the weakest of the four major families.

However, Old Man Zhu and Zhu Yunyunkai are also powerful figures, and with their joint efforts and management over the years, they have saved the decline of the Zhu family. Moreover, he has also made very bold research on new energy, and if successful, the Zhu family is likely to become the leader of the four major families.

Now, Tang Yulan's friend Zhu Jingyuan is also very competitive, and unlike the playboys of other families, he spends all day drinking, he knows very well what he does, and he decides to pursue and strive for the goal. Such people tend to be very threatening and easy to succeed.

Zhu Lingwei didn't mention it for the time being, that daughter gave people a headache when she thought about it.

And the rest of the Zhu family's sons and daughters, Tang Yulan, have little contact with each other and don't know much about it. However, listening to the rumors outside, they are all very competitive, and they are both martial arts and wise.

Generally speaking, the competition of the family is actually the competition of talents, so now the Zhu family is booming, which is not to be underestimated. Not to mention that it is in Lingjiang City, even if you look at the whole country, there are few families.

On the other hand, the Tang family, which collapsed after the cultural movement, can only be regarded as a little famous, because of the lack of heirs, the scattered ones are no longer what they are.

The old lady looked at Tang Yulan, and there was suddenly a strange light in his vicissitudes of life, he patted Tang Yulan's shoulder and said, "Now, you are the hope of our Tang family, I see you as if I see my father." ”

"What!" Tang Yulan trembled with fright, and what his grandfather said was really scary. The soul almost flew out.

"Yes, you resemble your great-grandfather." The old lady said seriously, got up and walked to the bedside, turned on the light and fumbled for the key, and then opened the old wooden storage box placed on top of the cabinet, rummaging through the wooden box for a while. Take out a bunch of stuff.

There are black-and-white photos of the early years, and the father and the third uncle are far away in the photo, they have not had the right temper when they were young, but the second uncle seemed to be quite close to his father at that time, but now he is doing well, and he doesn't look at his father.

There are also some old clothes, the old lady is reluctant to throw away, and treasure them.

In the end, he found a black wooden box twenty centimeters long and fifteen centimeters wide, and said solemnly: "Good grandson, this is the most important treasure of our Tang family, it was left by your great-grandfather, I have treasured it for sixty years, your father and several uncles have never seen it, and now that you have a girlfriend, it must not be long before the marriage will be completed, I will pass this thing to you, you have to take good care of it, carry it forward." ”

"Heirloom?" Tang Yulan was taken aback, took the wooden box and saw that the patterns used to decorate the wooden box had been mottled and peeled off, and even the wooden box didn't seem to explain much, so he quickly shirked and said: "Grandpa, you can keep this heirloom, I can't ask for it." ”

The old lady slapped the table hard, and the cold teacups on it jumped up, and said with wide eyes: "Take it, tell you to take it!" Then, he handed over another key, the gold paint plated on the outside of the key had been polished for the most part, and the shape was very simple, and handed it to Tang Yulan and said, "Put it away, and open it again when you go back." Your two wives are good, I think the ass is quite big, and I can give birth to a son. The matter of the glorious lintel will be left to you. ”

"Uh......" Tang Yulan became messy again.

The wooden box didn't feel heavy in the hand, and it was very light, and the things in it felt like it should be something lighter such as paper, fire, and cloth.

After going back, Tang Yulan handed over the things to Qi Caiyang and asked him to take good care of them, the uncle and cousins who had just come in the hall.

Tang Yulan and several cousins and sisters also rarely communicate with each other, and they are very unfamiliar with each other, when they look at the eldest lady, they all greet their grandfather, but they don't pay much attention to Tang Yulan, but when they see the things in his hand, their eyes can't hide the envy.

At this time, Tang Xuezhi received a phone call, stood up suddenly, and grinned at the corner of his mouth.
