After listening to Lu Ruoliang, Lu Xiaoxian had a general understanding of what was being discussed this time.

The Shi family has been around since ancient times.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty has Langya Wang and Chenjun Xie, and the Tang Dynasty has Cui, Lu, Li, Zheng, Wang five surnames, as well as Qinghe, Boling two Cui.

Although Youzhou is only a corner of the Tang Dynasty, it is no exception, although the four families of Lu, Liu, Huang and Qin are not as good as the five surnames and seven wangs of the Tang Dynasty, but they also have a history of hundreds of years in Youzhou, and the four surnames are intertwined with each other for several generations.

Whether it is a super family like the Lu family or a family with other three surnames, if you want to inherit it for a long time, in addition to the wisdom of the head of the family, the strictness of the family rules, and the excellence of the children, the most important thing is to have a huge economic source to support it.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and without silver, no family can continue normally.

Because of this, the four major families of Lu, Liu, Huang, and Qin all have a lot of industries in Youzhou City. With the annual profit of the industry, it provides the family with huge expenses and ensures the normal operation of the family. Most of these industries are run from generation to generation and are passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors.

But now, all this has been subverted by the Lin family, which was born out of nowhere.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Lin family was born horizontally.

Half a year ago, none of the four major families had heard of the Lin family.

But only half a year later, the Lin family quietly rose rapidly, making the four major families feel great pressure.

Although the Lin family has a deep foundation and is far less than the four century-old clans of Lu, Liu, Huang, and Qin, the head of the Lin family is unequivocal, and he has made several big sacrifices one after another, making some big clans suffer.

The Lin family's first target was the Qin family's industry in Youzhou City, the head of the Lin family attacked aggressively and strongly, and he didn't know what means he used, and he couldn't even raise his head to suppress the Qin family's various industries in Youzhou City, causing the Qin family's income to shrink sharply, so that they couldn't make ends meet.

Without the support of silver, the Qin family could not continue, and finally had to bow down to the Lin family and take the initiative to withdraw all industries from Youzhou City.

The hundred-year-old clan surnamed Qin suddenly declined, and disappeared among the ordinary people in an instant.

The Lin family, who tasted the sweetness, did the same, and it didn't take long for the Huang family to struggle and had to follow in the footsteps of the Qin family.

Two of the four major families have fallen, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the next step for the Lin family to deal with is either the Liu family or the Lu family.

The Lin family is like a clever hunter, staring at their prey, and in this situation, the Lu family and the Liu family are very nervous.

The Lin family shot again, and unfortunately, the unlucky Liu family became the next prey of the Lin family.

Although the Liu family resisted stubbornly and did not fall down, under the encirclement and suppression of the Lin family, the Liu family was already in danger.

During the decline of the Qin family and the Huang family, Lu Ruoliang always stood by and did not make any moves.

If it was said that Lu Ruoliang was trying to preserve his strength in the past, he didn't want to provoke the Lin family and burn himself, but now the situation is so clear, even a fool can see that if the Liu family falls, the next target of the Lin family will undoubtedly be the Lu family.

It is based on the current situation that Lu Ruoliang is a little hesitant whether he should unite with the Liu family and deal with the Lin family together.

In addition to the consideration of Lu's own interests, Lu Ruoliang had to consider his wife's feelings.

Lu Ruoliang's wife, Liu, is the sister-in-law of the current head of the Liu family.

The marriage of a large family pays attention to the right family, and the marriage between Lu Ruoliang and the Liu family was jointly agreed between Mrs. Lu and the head of the Liu family.

Today, Lu Ruoliang convened the children of the Lu family to discuss this matter: to help, or not to help the Liu family.

Everyone here has expressed their views on this matter.

Except for the second son, Lu Wuxian, who strongly favored joining forces with the Liu family to deal with the Lin family, everyone else did not approve of the Lu family helping the Liu family.

In their opinion, the Lin family and the Lu family have always had well water that does not interfere with river water, and the Lu family rashly stepped in to help the Liu family, wouldn't it be clear that they wanted to be enemies of the Lin family?

The Lin family's methods of dealing with the other three families, they all saw it, if they provoked the Lin family by helping the Liu family, it would do the Lu family a hundred harms and no benefits, so they did not agree to this kind of blind enemy.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

The Lin family is so strong, from the perspective of the family, of course, everyone in the Lu family wishes to hope that the Lin family and the Lu family can continue to live in peace.

But Lu Xiaoxian, who was a bystander, saw it clearly, after the Lin family dealt with the Liu family, the next target was undoubtedly the Lu family.

The Qin, Huang, and Liu families were all defeated, and the Lin family had no reason to let the Lu family go.

I don't even understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, and I still sit here and talk about things without shame.

Regarding this short-sighted behavior of the Lu family, Lu Xiaoxian sighed and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Lu Wuji didn't expect that his subtle movements would be keenly regarded by the butler standing beside him. dog

Lu Xiaoxian didn't want to get involved in their dispute, but he couldn't help but think about Lu Wuxian. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiaoxian had a plan.

As the concubine of the Lu family, Lu Wuji is very self-aware, and he usually only brings his ears to meetings like this, and he never says a word.

At this time, as usual, he looked at his nose, nose and mouth, and mouth and heart, just like a mud bodhisattva.

"Nonsense, I'm Lu Xiaoxian, just listen, don't make any changes for others to see!" Lu Wuji, who was in a trance, suddenly heard a small voice in his ears, which startled him a lot.

He subconsciously looked left and right, and no one seemed to pay attention to him. looked at Lu Xiaoxian, who was sitting next to Lu Ruoliang, and Lu Xiaoxian gave him a look and told him to calm down.

Lu Wuxian was puzzled, he didn't see Lu Xiaoxian speak, how did he get the sound into his ears so far away and not let others find out?

Lu Wuli didn't have time to think about it, and Lu Xiaoxian's voice came from his ears again: "Wait a while, you can do this......

After listening to Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Wuli knew that he had to speak today.

Lu Xiaoxian said very clearly, the speech was not for the head of the family, but for another person: Mrs. Liu standing in the courtyard.

Suddenly, Mrs. Liu's anxious face flashed in front of Lu Wuji's mind.

Just now, when I saw Mrs. in the courtyard, it seemed that she was full of worries, and Lu Wuji thought it strange at that time.

At this time, Lu Wuji understood that his wife was worried about the affairs of the Liu family, and she was waiting for the final result of the Lu family's discussion.

At this moment, Lu Wuji couldn't help but admire Lu Xiaoxian's scheming.

As the wife of the head of the family, Liu's status in the Lu family is second only to Lu Ruoliang. Lu Xiaoxian's meaning was very clear, and let Lu Wuji take this God-given opportunity to make his wife grateful to him by speaking. If Lu Wuji wants to get rid of the shackles of his identity as a concubine and stand tall in the Lu family, the help of his wife will play a vital role.

Now that you've figured it out, the rest of the matter is a matter of course.

Lu Xiaoxian pondered for a while, and said loudly: "Father! I think the Lu family must help the Liu family! ”

Lu Wuji's voice was very loud, overpowering the voices of the other people in the hall, and it seemed very abrupt.

Of course, Lu Wuxian did this on purpose, and Lu Xiaoxian explained everything in detail: don't be loud, in case the lady in the courtyard can't hear it, the hard work will be in vain.

Everyone was stunned, and they all set their eyes on Lu Wuji.

Lu Wuji has never spoken in the deliberations, and everyone has long been accustomed to this, and they have ignored him, and this is the first time he has taken the initiative to speak.

"Oh?" Lu Ruoliang looked at Lu Wuji strangely, "Tell me about it!" ”

"It's very simple, the Liu family is Madame's maiden family, so we can't sit idly by!" Lu Wuji's voice is still very loud.

"Anything else?" Lu Ruoliang continued to ask.

"It's gone!" Lu Wuji shook his head.

"Gone?" Lu Ruoliang was a little incredulous, "That's it? ”

"Isn't that a good reason?" Lu Wunong talked nonsense, "Mrs. gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the Lu family, and helped the master manage the Lu family up and down, so many years and so much effort. Now, Madame's maiden family is in trouble, shouldn't the Lu family come to the rescue? If you watch the Liu family fall, how can the Lu family be worthy of Mrs., and how will Mrs. face her family in the future? ”

Lu Wuji's voice came far away, and not a word was heard by the lady in the courtyard.

Two lines of tears slid down the lady's face.

Lu Wuji's words really spoke to the heart of Mrs. Liu.

She has been married to the Lu family for more than 20 years, abiding by women's morals, teaching her husband and children, taking care of the upper and lower levels, never slacking off, and working hard without merit.

originally thought that his life should be like this, but at this moment, Lu Wuji said such touching words, which made Mrs. Liu suddenly have an urge to cry.

Over the years, Mrs. has never treated Lu Wuji well, but this concubine who she has never seen with her eyes actually remembered her dedication to the Lu family, and stood up at a critical moment to speak for herself and the Liu family, which made Mrs. grateful to Lu Wuji.

"You know what?" Lu Wuwu glanced at Lu Wufu with disdain, and retorted, "It's good that the Liu family is A-Niang's maiden family, but this matter is related to the fate of the Lu family, A-Niang marries the Lu family, she should consider the Lu family, the Lu family and the Liu family are more important, A-Niang will understand this truth!" There's no need for you to sing praises for A-Niang here! ”

Lu Wuwu is the eldest son of Lu Ruoliang and his wife, and is 21 years old this year.

As the future heir of the head of the Lu family, in order to train him, Lu Ruoliang handed over all the properties of the Lu family in Youzhou City to Lu Wuwu to take care of. He usually lives in Youzhou City and rarely goes back to the Lu family's old house. If Lu Ruoliang hadn't convened the meeting today, everyone would not have seen him here.

Lu Wuwu has always been above the top, and he can't look at the entire Lu family, let alone Lu Wuji, so he is not polite at all.

Although the second son, Lu Wuxian, strongly agreed with joining forces with the Liu family, he did not agree with the reason Lu Wuji said, and he was much more polite when he spoke to Lu Wuji: "Fourth brother, joining forces with the Liu family is for the life and death of the Lu family, and it can't be mixed with personal feelings." Your love for A-Niang, I thank you for A-Niang! ”
