The sudden death of the patriarch marked the end of an era. The old era is over, and the new era is coming.

The paint on the vermilion gate of Meifu has begun to fall off, and it has long been mottled and not in shape!

The newly painted red paint was covered over and over again, and the old look was renewed. Yellow sand rose at the entrance of the village, drifting one after another, fluttering with the wind, lonely and lonely.

The old patriarch lay on the cold bed, and the candles flickered around him. Incense curls around the ceiling.

Standing in front of the old patriarch's coffin, Mei Xiaohan was as stunned as a piece of wood, and all the words she wanted to say at this moment were choked in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound at all.

The village's once most authoritative man could not escape the fate of death.

Many people came to see him off in the village, most of whom were old friends of the patriarch. Now that the old patriarch had left them first, they were grief-stricken one by one.

Before the temporary, the old patriarch suddenly said that he had made his last words, and asked that the envelope should not be opened until ten days after his death.

And just when the old patriarch was dying, a rumor spread in Yuelong Village. The only grandson who claimed to be the old patriarch suddenly appeared, causing a huge sensation. If you don't come early, you won't come late, but at this critical moment!

The life of the old patriarch can be described as legendary. In the first half of his life, he was a merry chivalrous man, acting chivalrous and righteous, and later entered the court as an official and made friends with the upper echelons of society.

Later, the old patriarch suddenly resigned and went into hiding, and entered some mysterious meeting.

Later, the old patriarch returned to Yuelong Village. Every day, I only look around the village entrance, day after day, year after year!

Now, this bizarre rumor has brought the boy who claims to be the grandson of the old patriarch to the forefront.

In such a special period, such rumors have too much lethality! Any wind and grass touches people's nerves.

It has been many years since no one in Yuelong Village has been able to come out to take charge of the overall situation and take charge of it alone. Although the old patriarch was very prestigious, he rarely dealt with the affairs of the village in his old age. Except for looking at the village entrance every day, he didn't do anything.

If you don't come early, you won't come late! At this time, a grandson came out, what is his intention! Nobody knows.

Withered vines, sunsets, slanting winds and rain.

The mysterious "Mida Wheel of Life and Death" reappeared, held by an old man, and an expressionless young man carried a yellow soul-attracting flag, which was printed with four gilded characters of "Wheel of Life and Death"!

The funeral procession was lined up from the head of the village to the entrance of the village, and dozens of people in front of them were Taoists, hermits and cultivators who led various magic weapons, and there were also members of the "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Society".

Under the blowing of the evening breeze, the chaotic rain was intermittent, fluttering and slanting, falling into the mud and turning into a burst of ethereal.

In the hazy mist, the flute of "Great Happiness and Sorrow" was blown, echoing in the void. The fog is still there, and it's hazy and difficult to discern the direction.

...

The patriarch died, and the spiritual pillar of this small village collapsed.

The old patriarch has not appointed a new successor, and the village cannot be left without one to preside over the overall situation for a day!

The new patriarch will be selected among several highly respected elders in the village, namely Li Yi, Zhang Zifeng, and Yan Xi.

It's just that these three people are all old, and they are all seventy or eighty years old, and they have a lot of life experience, but their thinking is relatively old-fashioned.

Relying on his old age, there are also many fans and supporters, who have been active since the day the old patriarch died, and they covet the position of the patriarch!

Li Yi, Zhang Zifeng, and Yan Xi are all over the age of old, and they can't even walk, and they need someone to support them to walk steadily.

Up and down the Mei Mansion, it is a different scene at the moment, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going every day.

With the expansion of the Mei Mansion, the scale of the Mei Mansion is also getting bigger and bigger, and the grandeur is no less than that of the county government of Splendid City.

However, there are not only those at the bottom of the society but also the upper class of society.

Knights of the rivers and lakes, celebrities, black and white, the door of Meifu is open, and visitors are not refused.

The peasants who were allocated to the cultivated land were grateful, and the peasants who were allocated to the cattle were even more grateful.

It is not easy to dig food on the land, and if you want to get a good harvest, you need to rely on the sky to eat. If the weather is bad, it will affect the grain harvest.

Li Yi, Zhang Zifeng, and Yan Xi fought openly and secretly for the position of patriarch, and the two old men, Zhang Zifeng and Li Yi, died suddenly.

There is no one who can compete with Yan Xi anymore, and the position of the patriarch is nine out of ten!

In Mei's mansion, Mei Xiaohan held a high-end glass teacup and brewed a cup of coffee. He was so sleepy that he hadn't slept for days.

The two maidservants were beating his back and pinching his legs, and Zhao Huzhi was keeping accounts one by one under the red light.

The hundred black pens brought by Mei Xiaohan were used to give away, and each one was very precious! So when recording the ledger, Zhao Hu chose to use a brush!

The old patriarch hoped that Mei Xiaohan would be able to carp and jump into the dragon gate and enter the officialdom through the imperial examination, but Mei Xiaohan was not very enthusiastic about officialdom.

"Master Mei, it's time to rest, it's already deep at night!" Under the red light, Zhou Yuan's face looked very ruddy.

During these days in Meifu, although Zhou Yuan worked very hard, he did everything very carefully and carefully.

Mei Xiaohan said: "Steward Zhou, it's been really hard for you these days!" ”

"Mei Dangjia said this, it really makes me ashamed, Zhou Yuan's food and housing are in Mei Mansion, Mei Dangjia takes good care of Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan is too late to be grateful!"

From managing dozens of taels of silver to managing hundreds of taels of thousands of taels of silver, there are many items every day, and various expenses in and out. Zhou Yuan, the number one housekeeper of the Mei Mansion, managed the Mei Mansion in an orderly manner.

Mei Xiaohan said: "I have seen the loyalty of Zhou Yuan's housekeeper. ”

"I have fifty taels of silver here, and Zhou Yuan's housekeeper will use it to subsidize the family."

Zhou Yuan said: "Mei is in charge, you don't have to be like this, Zhou Yuan never dares to ask for it!" Zhou Yuan eats, drinks and lives in Meifu, how dare he have other luxuries! ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "This is what I gave you alone, you don't shirk it, these fifty taels of silver are nothing!" ”

Zhou Yuan took fifty taels of silver, and said gratefully: "Don't hide what Mei Gongzi said, my mother has just passed away, and I urgently need silver to bury my mother, hey!" I didn't dare to talk about it with Mei Dangjia for a while! ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "Why didn't Steward Zhou tell me about this earlier!" ”

After that, Mei Xiaohan took out another hundred taels of silver and said: "This hundred taels of silver is a little bit of my heart, although I am not very old, but I also know that life and death are major events in life!" I hope that the housekeeper must bury his mother well! ”

Zhou Yuan said: "If Mei is in charge, I have written it down, Zhou Yuan can only repay Mei Daojia if he manages Mei Mansion better!" ”

In his place, seek his job! Zhou Yuan can be regarded as conscientious, and Yun has done the job that a housekeeper should do, which makes the exhausted Mei Xiaohan very pleased.

And Zhao Hu is the person brought by Mei Xiaohan himself, Mei Xiaohan has high expectations for him, and hopes that he can be independent.
