Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but look sideways, but he didn't expect Mu Qianren to really know himself. He stretched out his thumb to Mu Qianren: "I know that Mu Gongzi is also, and I should float three cups!" ”

After Lu Xiaoxian finished drinking, he put down his wine glass and looked at Lu Wuxian.

Mu Qianren knew Lu Xiaoxian's thoughts, and asked directly for him: "Nonsense, we have all said it, you can also tell me your wishes!" ”

Lu Wuji was stunned, he really didn't know what his wish was!

I have to look at people's faces every day, I have to be careful, I am punished by family law, and I have to pretend to be convinced.

"Nonsense, why don't you speak?" Mu Qianren felt strange.

Lu Wuji smiled bitterly: "I'm just a concubine, if I say my biggest wish, I just hope that I don't step on others in the Lu family, and I don't want to be trampled under the feet of others!" ”

"Impossible!" Listening to Lu Wunon's words, Mu Qianren blurted out without hesitation.

"What can't be?" Lu is inexplicable.

"You may be able to do it without stepping on people, but if you don't want to be trampled underfoot, you can't do it at all!" Mu Qianren cut the railway.

"Why?"

"Where there are people, there are people who step on and people who are stepped on. For example, if you are a general, you will either kill the enemy or be killed by someone when you go into battle. You are a prostitute in the Qinglou, either you are popular and everyone is flocking to you, or you are ignoring people and living a miserable life. Take Chang Toutou as an example, in the six streets and ten alleys of Youzhou City, either he stepped on others or was stepped on by others. Not long ago, the dispute between him and Wang Jiangtou was like this, and it is impossible to say that there is nothing to say about peace! ”

"If you are reasonable, you are reasonable, why do you talk about me?" Chang glanced at Mu Qianren with a blank head, and took over: "Brother, what Xiao Mu said is right, no matter if I am here to be the leader or go to the rivers and lakes, I have to face the problem of stepping on people or being trampled on." ”

Mu Qianren said coldly: "This world is like this, there are rules everywhere, and the Lu family is no exception, you are in it, you either step on people or be stepped on, no matter how big or small the family is!" ”

"There's no other way, I don't want to step on others, am I destined to be stepped on by others?" Lu Wuji asked with a bitter face.

"Of course there is a way!" Mu Qianren raised his eyebrows slightly: "There are at least two ways to keep you from being stepped on!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Lu Wuji's eyes lit up.

"First, it's like me, leave that home, so that you don't have to step on others, and others can't step on you!"

"Huh? Leave? Lu Wuji was stunned.

Of course, he didn't have to be stepped on when he left the Lu family, but where to go after leaving, he really didn't think about it.

"What's the second idea?" Lu Wushu asked again.

"Make yourself strong, so strong that others look up to you, and they don't dare to step on you at all, or they can't step on you if they want to! For example, if you become the head of the house, no one will dare to step on you anymore! ”

"Being the head of the house?" Lu Wuji shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Impossible, the Lu family's ancestral precepts are clear, only the eldest son can be the head of the family!" ”

"What can only be the head of the family by the eldest son!" Mu Qianren said disdainfully, "Don't say that you are a small Lu family, even if the Tang Li family is in the world, how many of them are the eldest sons and eventually became emperors?" ”

Lu Wushu was stunned.

Mu Qianren continued to take care of himself: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no one has been able to succeed to the throne after the eldest son was crowned the crown prince. Emperor Gaozu's eldest son, Li Jiancheng, his mother was Empress Dou, and Gaozu ascended the throne to make him the crown prince, and finally his younger brother Taizong became the emperor. Taizong's eldest son, Li Chengqian, his biological mother was Empress Changsun, who was made the crown prince at the age of eight, and was later deposed by the prince for rebellion, and finally Gaozong became the emperor. Gaozong's eldest son, Li Zhong, was made the crown prince, and later he was deposed and did not become the emperor, but the current Shengshangzhongzong became the emperor. ”

Lu Xiaoxian coughed lightly and said to Mu Qianren: "Mu Gongzi, I know that you are a child of a rich family and have studied since childhood, so don't show off here." Is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty something you and I can discuss, I don't know if I lose my head. ”

Mu Qianren smiled dryly: "What Lu Gongzi said is that taking history as a mirror, I just use these to tell nonsense, some things are not as immutable as you imagined, as long as you work hard, you can change, only hard work can change!" ”

After listening to Mu Qianren's words, Lu Wuji's gaze was different when he looked at him again.

Several people drank a large jar of "daughter red" cleanly.

When saying goodbye, Mu Qianren and Chang couldn't even speak.

On the way back, Lu Wuji kept thinking about Mu Qianren's words.

Lu Yuxiao said coldly to Lu Wuji: "Nonsense, I think what Brother Mu said makes sense, although you are a concubine, I support you as the head of the family!" ”

Lu Wuji stopped and stared at Lu Yuxiao for a while: "Third uncle, I also support you to go into business, let's work together!" ”

……

After returning from the autumn wind, Lu Xiaoxian found that the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion had been waiting for him at the gate, and when he saw Lu Xiaoxian's figure, he hurriedly greeted him.

"How?" The butler made no secret of his anxiousness.

After hearing Lu Xiaoxian's words, the housekeeper's eyes widened: "How can this be, is this true?" ”

"It's true!"

Lu Xiaoxian talked to the housekeeper again, and the housekeeper said goodbye to Lu Xiaoxian and hurriedly went back.

……

In the Buddhist hall of the Lu family's compound, after listening to the housekeeper's difficult words, the wooden fish in the hand of the old lady Lu fell to the ground, and he was speechless for a long time.

Who is so insidious that he deliberately sprinkled wine lees in the silk warehouse?

"Master, if I guessed correctly, there is a good chance that the Lin family did this, and it is estimated that they have already begun to attack the Lu family!" The housekeeper reminded, "Master, you better go out of the mountain, I'm afraid that the head of the family won't be able to deal with the Lin family!" ”

Old lady Lu picked up the wooden fish from the ground and held it in his hand, but it didn't knock, as if he was thinking about something.

"Does Ruoliang know about this?" Old Lady Lu asked in a trembling voice.

"I haven't told the master yet!"

"It's okay if you don't say it!" Old lady Lu knocked on the wooden fish again.

"Master, what the hell are you ......?"

Old lady Lu said lightly: "I will mention the matter of my departure from the mountain in the future, remember, Ruoliang is the real head of the Lu family!" ”

The butler suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, and he slowly turned and walked towards the door.

Walking to the door, Old Lady Lu's voice came again: "You give Ruoliang a word for me!" ”

Lu Ruoliang turned around: "Master, please speak!" ”

"The head of the Lu family only passes on the eldest son, this is the ancestral teaching, if it really comes to the life and death of the Lu family, there is no need to stick to this, whether it is a son-in-law or a concubine, the eldest son or the second son, who can save the Lu family in danger, who can be the head of the Lu family?"

The housekeeper's eyes lit up: "Master, I understand, I will bring the words to the master of the house word for word!" ”

"And!" Old Lady Lu pondered, "From tomorrow onwards, Yuxiao doesn't have to go to private school!" Let him get acquainted with the various industries of the Lu family! Don't worry about handing it over to others, you teach him personally! ”

……

The Liu family finally couldn't hold on anymore, and after taking care of all the industries, they withdrew from Youzhou City gloomily, and another big family fell under the encirclement and suppression of the Lin family.

On the fifth day after the Liu family withdrew from Youzhou City, the inn opened by the Lu family in Youzhou City caught fire inexplicably, and it was not easy to extinguish it, but it suffered heavy losses and could no longer continue to operate.

Hearing this sudden news, Lu Ruoliang, who was drinking tea, smashed the teacup in his hand. Everyone knows that this teacup is the beloved object of the head of the family.

A few days ago, there was an accident in the silk village, and now the inn is on fire again. Even if you think about it with your toes, Lu Ruoliang also knows that someone is making trouble. Except for the Lin family, no one would do this, and they did it so desperately.

At this moment, Lu Ruo's conscience couldn't help but feel a little remorseful. Knowing this, he should have helped the Liu family in the first place, and he would not be as isolated as he is now.

Even if you want to fight, you have to fight in an upright and upright manner, Lu Ruoliang looks down on the Lin family's secret arrow to hurt people. He took a deep breath and stood up.

It's time to theorize in front of the gong and the drum.

In front of a luxurious mansion, the carriage slowly drove here, and the butler helped Lu Ruoliang out of the carriage, and then went up to knock on the door.

The door was closed in broad daylight, and it looked unsightly at first glance, which was like the gate of the Lu family's courtyard, which was always open, and Lu Ruoliang couldn't help but slander in his heart.

The door opened, and a doorkeeper showed his head.

"My lord wants to meet Master Lin, this is a post, please say goodbye!" The butler handed the sticker.

"Wait!" The family took the sticker, and was not polite, and closed the door again with a "bang".

Taking advantage of this, Lu Ruoliang looked at the Lin Mansion.

There are four locust trees at the entrance of the mansion, and there are upper and lower horse stones, and stakes for tying horses. On both sides of the vermilion lacquer gate, there are two majestic lions.

Lu Ruoliang felt a burst of contempt in his heart, he was simply an upstart, and he actually stood with a red gate, which family with a background is not a black gate.

After a while, a man walked out.

"I'm He Shi, the head of the Lin Mansion!" After the man introduced himself, he continued, "My master said that he will inevitably deal with Master Lu in the future." It is not appropriate for Lu Ruoliang to come to the Lin Mansion in person, and it is also inappropriate for our master to go to the Lu Mansion, it is also inappropriate for our master to go to the Lu Mansion, it is best for Master Lu to find a middleman, as long as he does not live in the Lu Mansion, anyone can do it! ”

After speaking, He Shi ignored Lu Ruoliang and turned around and entered the gate.

When the guests visited, Master Lin not only did not invite him into the house, but he didn't even show his face, but only sent a subordinate to say such things domineeringly.

It was simply too rude, and the cold reception of the Lin Mansion made Lu Ruoliang tremble with anger.

"Master, let's go back first!" The butler reminded.

Lu Ruoliang came to visit the Lin Mansion, but the housekeeper did not approve of it. In his opinion, this is showing weakness to the Lin family, if Old Lady Lu is still the head of the family, he will never do this.

Lu Ruoliang's face turned pale, and he turned into the carriage.

In the living room of the Lin Mansion, Master Lin and Lu Ruoliang's younger brother, Lu Ruobei, the second master of the Lu family, were chatting happily.

Master Lin is less than thirty-five or sixteen years old, and unlike Lu Ruoliang, he has neither the elegance of a literati nor the humility of a businessman, but he has a trace of fierceness all over his body. In particular, his gaze is extremely sharp and quite aggressive, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable at a glance.
