Liu Ximing saw Chen Yiding quietly pushing the door out, he was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that it had some effect, and he hurriedly ended the things in the house a few times, and paced to the room specially vacated for Chen Yiding.

"Uncle, what's your doubt?"

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Ximing saw Chen Yiding sitting opposite him with a serious face, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Chen Yiding stared at Liu Ximing for a long time, until Liu Ximing was a little uncomfortable, he said sternly:

"Get on your knees"

？？？

Liu Ximing was confused and looked at Chen Yiding blankly.

"Get on your knees"

Chen Yiding's voice suddenly raised and yelled at him again.

, what's the situation, how is it different from what I think. Liu Ximing was a little flustered in his heart, his uncle's operation didn't feel right, but seeing that he was still staring at him with a solemn face, Liu Ximing had no choice but to tidy up his clothes, slowly knelt down in front of him, and asked cautiously.

"This, I wonder what's wrong with my nephew? Please also ask my uncle to make it clear. ”

Chen Yiding saw him kneeling down obediently, his face was slightly better, he snorted, and said with a little anger: "Zi Bu is strange and confused, you also read the books of sages, but where did you learn these crooked ways, you are really not a son of man." In addition to coaxing those foolish people in the countryside, these tricks are beneficial to your self-cultivation, I see that you are going to the way of sages and sages, and you dare to talk about what monarchs and ministers are wise and foolish today. Fu Ping divination is originally used by obscene cults, and the people they are trying to do are either to deceive the foolish people of their money, or to coax the foolish people to rebel. ”

Liu Ximing was a little anxious when he stared, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Rongyu, the person who worships in my family, the Emperor Ziwei, this is also the god of the imperial court, and there are many worships in the royal family, but it is just a manifestation in my family, and the family has become more and more developed in recent years, which is due to it." Moreover, the nephew did not believe in it, and for these days, he did not dare to forget the teachings of the saints, and he never set up a separate sect to deceive. "After speaking, I picked out some things that I could talk about in the past six months, and talked about them again."

Chen Yiding's face was a little better, fortunately, this kid hadn't fallen too deep, and sighed and said: "Hey, you are young, you don't know the dangers of the world, and there are often legends of Huang Po Daxian tempting kindness, although no one has seen it in person, but it must not be guarded against." As the saying goes, 'if he wants to take it, he must give it first', how can there be a cheap one in the world for nothing, you have to think deeply. ”

"Well, maybe that's a really good thing?"

"Huh?"

Sure enough, it was still his own uncle, Liu Ximing was glared at by him, and said with a sad face: "Uncle is right, nephew should be more careful in the future." ”

But I was very depressed in my heart, is this another lifting a stone and shooting myself in the foot.

Chen Yiding finally seized the opportunity at this time, and taught him a lesson in a crackling manner, and finally said: "You are young and ignorant, you still have to let me take care of it a little more, and you must inform me of anything in the future, and then make a decision after consulting it together." ”

Liu Ximing missed today's move, so he had to nod his head first, and Chen Yiding stopped with a satisfied look.

Waiting until the next day, Chen Yiding really began to exercise the power of the housekeeper on a large scale, and when he saw that Liu Ximing actually arranged meat for the tenants, he pointed at Liu Ximing and scolded angrily: "Losers, these people are tenants in the family, and now they have to come out of your house for food and clothing, where do you still need to give them such a good meal, and let the room stop tomorrow." ”

After a few days, everyone in the Long Xiang team came to Liu Ximing to complain, Yu Yongkai nodded with a depressed face and said: "Second brother, it's not a way to go on like this, my uncle has changed many of our things, how can this be good." ”

Liu Ximing was not depressed at this time, and sighed and said: "Then what can I do, everything is self-inflicted, now my mother listens to my uncle, where can anyone restrain him." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ximing had a flash of inspiration in his mind, his mother is really a political novice, he can't control his uncle, and it's not good to turn his face directly, so why not find someone to check and balance him, and immediately told everyone in the Long Xiang team his thoughts, and everyone discussed what to do.

A group of people thought hard for a while, Xu Wei's eyes lit up and said: "Everything in the world is courteous, my uncle is the brother of my mother's family, and when there is no relative parent in the family, he can naturally make decisions for his nephew, but if there are relatives and elders in our family, it will not be his turn in this family, this is the clan etiquette, so it is not easy for my uncle to say anything." ”

Liu Ximing thought about it like this, yes, he was still used to thinking about problems in the way of thinking of modern people, and he actually forgot about the ancient clan.

It's true, no matter how close the relationship between the uncle is, he is also a person with a foreign surname, and the right to speak in the family is logically inferior to that of the elders with the same surname.

"It's just like this, what if I get myself in trouble again?" Liu Ximing hesitated.

Xu Wei smiled slightly and said, "Second brother don't worry about this, we just need to choose a person of the right generation." Is there anyone in your clan who is of the same rank as you, but is older than your uncle? This person is the same as you, so you can't suppress us by being an elder, you are older than your uncle, and it's not good for your uncle to speak in front of your ears, plus both of them were invited by us, won't the right to speak in the family be in our hands again? ”

"Hahaha, this is a good solution."

Liu Ximing laughed heartily, Xu Wei is really a fucking talent, and he can just make up for his shortcomings in his lack of understanding of the customs of this dynasty, so he hurriedly pulled Liu Xixian and Liu Xi'an together.

The three of them did this calculation, and they really found a person who met the requirements, Liu Ximing's great-grandfather's third grandson, Liu Ximing's distant cousin Liu Xihe, is now about fifty years old, I heard Liu Xixian say that this person has a good reputation in the township, and he didn't look like a fool when he saw him in the past, maybe he could use it.

Liu Ximing slapped the table: "It's him, when the time comes, Xu Wei, you will come forward for me to inquire about the situation of his family, if he is indeed a good person, you will give him a wind and see how he reacts." If he knows how to do it, you call it out and invite him over. ”

As for whether Liu Xihe will agree to come to Liu's house to help, Liu Ximing is not worried. The Liu family was not a wealthy family in the first place, most of the relatives in the clan were scattered in a few nearby townships, although there were some scholars, but there were no high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and most of the others were farming or doing a little business, and life could not be much better.

Two days later, Liu Chen and Chen Yiding sat in the hall and looked at Liu Xihe in front of them, looking at each other.

Liu Xihe was wearing a plain robe, his sideburns were a little white, and his eyes were shining on his wrinkled face.

He arched his hand to Liu Chen, Chen Yiding and Liu Ximing, and said with a smile: "In the past two years, the family has been really sad, and the imperial court has sent officials in a hurry. ”

Liu Chen looked at Chen Yiding hesitantly, and didn't know how to deal with it, Liu Ximing quickly took over the conversation and said: "Dun filial piety is based on human morality, and the clan is based on Yongmu, what has been advocated by the past dynasties, now the clan is in a hurry, and my family is quite wealthy, so naturally I should take more care of it." Since my cousin asked to come to the door, my family naturally couldn't refuse, but I stated in advance that my foolish brother's wealth was also hard-earned, and if the clan asked for shelter, they must also rely on their personal skills to fight for it. ”

Liu Xihe made a happy expression, nodded again and again: "That's natural, if anyone wants to eat rice, I will be the first to refuse." ”

Chen Yiding saw that Liu Ximing opened his mouth to agree, and he was an outsider who couldn't care about such a clan matter, so he had to sit aside and be silent.

This matter is halfway through, Liu Ximing quietly glanced at Liu Xihe.

The next day, Chen Yiding said to several security chiefs: "The construction of the house at home can't be as it used to be, you can stop for a while, and then I will change this regulation." ”

Liu Xihe didn't know where to come out of nowhere, and said strangely beside him: "Uncle, after all, this family belongs to my cousin, I'm afraid he still has to call the shots about these things, right?" ”

Chen Yiding's face sank, and when he saw that it was Liu Xihe who spoke, he had to reply to him in a calm tone: "Xihe doesn't know that my nephew is young and weak, and I can make decisions for him, so as not to be coaxed." ”

Liu Xihe smiled, others are afraid of this uncle, he is not afraid, after all, his age is here, but he still said with a respectful expression on his face: "You can't say that, my brother is a young hero, and now he is rumored how he broke the thief at night and saved the teacher intelligently." Not to mention that he is not yet an adult, but there are a few adult strong men who are as capable as him. Besides, this home is his, if you don't let him take care of it now, you won't give it to him in the future. ”

Seeing that Chen Yiding was blocked by himself, Liu Xihe continued in a tone that seemed to be low but could actually be heard by several people next to him: "Besides, this is also for the sake of my uncle, a newcomer like me has heard rumors from the tenants in the family......

"What's the rumor?" Chen Yiding saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and asked directly in a deep voice.

"It is rumored that you took away my cousin's power as soon as you came, and now you have to listen to your arrangements everywhere in the family, this is to seek to rob my cousin's family business."

"Nonsense!"

Chen Yiding was furious, if it was something else, it would be fine, this kind of rumor would simply ruin his reputation, if it spread, how could he gain a foothold among scholars.
