Chapter 17 - The Door of the Three Great Families

Lu Yi looked at the coffin placed in the mourning hall, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the spiritual seat placed on the offering table. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Suddenly, with a "bang", Lu Yi knelt down on Lu Kang's spiritual position, and slammed his knees on the ground, making a loud noise.

Everyone in the mourning hall suddenly heard a loud noise, and they all followed the sound in panic, but they saw blood printed on Lu Yi's kneeling knees.

Seeing Lu Yi's appearance, everyone's faces twitched slightly, but they felt incomparably painful for Lu Yi's blood-soaked knees.

At this time, no one cared that the loud noise would disturb Lu Kang's rest.

Lu Yi looked at the spiritual position on the offering table, and the sadness in his heart had already made him forget the pain in his knees.

The tears in his eyes burst the embankment at this moment and poured out.

His forehead slammed heavily on the ground, and he didn't care that he had broken his forehead and was dripping with blood.

When others saw Lu Yi's crazy move, they were immediately stunned. After coming back to his senses, he remembered that if Lu Yi was allowed to knock down like this, I was afraid that there would be another coffin in this mourning hall!

Everyone stepped forward one after another to pull Lu Yi's figure, wanting to stop Lu Yi from continuing to kowtow to the spiritual position.

Just a few pulls, Lu Yi was indifferent, and still stumbled on his own.

It wasn't until he had knocked Lu Kang's spiritual position a hundred times that Lu Yi stopped.

Seeing that Lu Yi no longer moved, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

There was no way, they were really afraid that there would be an extra corpse on top of this mourning hall.

Lu Yi looked at the spiritual seat on the offering table, thought of Lu Kang's old and kind face, and finally raised his head to the sky and let out a roar: "From grandfather, you can go with peace of mind, I will come back safely as you expect in your heart!" ”

Seeing that Lu Yi was originally disheveled, and now kneeling and kowtowing, he looked even more unbearable, so he opened his mouth and said to Lu Yi: "Lu Yi, look at how your current appearance makes the old lady feel at ease, don't take a step back and freshen up and change clothes!" ”

When Lu Yi heard this, he didn't move, and still knelt on the ground.

The young Lu Ji on the side heard what everyone said, glanced at Lu Yi, and felt that there was some truth in what everyone said, so he also said with a crying voice: "Lu Yi, just listen to everyone's words!" ”

Lu Yi turned his head, looked at Lu Ji, and shook his head gently.

"Uncle Cong, nephew wants to give Grandpa Cong an incense first!"

"You don't have to rush to incense for your father, but Lu Yi is talking about your current appearance, how can you be incense. It's better to go back to the back hall to freshen up and then make incense, so that you can also show respect for your father! ”

Listening to Lu Ji's words, Lu Yi sighed lightly, and could only get up helplessly.

But because he knelt too hard before, Lu Yi's knees were completely weak at this time, and just as he wanted to stand up, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Seeing that Lu Yi couldn't stand for a while, the others shouted to the servants at home in panic: "Are you all dead? Why don't you hurry up and help out! ”

"yes, why don't you hurry up and help!" The young Lu Ji also echoed on the side.

The servants standing outside the door heard the shouts of everyone in the mourning hall, and they were also panicked for a while, and hurriedly ran into the mourning hall, helped Lu Yi, who was sitting on the ground, and carefully led Lu Yi to the back court.

At the moment of stepping out of the door, Lu Yi, who was being supported, turned his head, glanced at Lu Kang's ranking, and silently said in his heart: "From my grandfather, I will definitely protect the Lu family!" ”

After that, Lu Yi left the mourning hall with the support of the servants.

Everyone standing in the mourning hall looked at Lu Yi's back when he left, and their hearts were mixed, and they could only turn into a sigh in the end.

In the Zhang Mansion in Wu County, the heads of the other three major families in Jiangdong are gathering together at this moment.

Located in the upper seat is the owner of the mansion, the head of the Zhang family - Zhang Yun.

On both sides of Zhang Yun are Gu Yong, the head of the Gu family, and Zhu Huan, the head of the Zhu family.

Zhang Yun glanced at the two people sitting beside him, and said slowly: "Lu Kang of the Lu family is dead, you know!" ”

Gu Yong listened to Zhang Yun's words, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: "Brother Yixin, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu Huan didn't speak, just glanced at Zhang Yun secretly and shook his head slightly.

What do I mean by that? Hehe, Brother Yuansi, since you have come to my house, don't you know what I mean by this? ”

"Jiangdong is so big, how can it accommodate the four great families!"

Listening to Zhang Yun's words, Gu Yong was silent.

Seeing Gu Yong's silence, Zhang Yun turned his head and turned his gaze to Zhu Huan: "Brother Hugh Mu, don't you think this is an opportunity?" Today's Lu family is only one Huangkou child in charge, so why can't he take away the interests of the Lu family in Jiangdong! ”

Zhu Huan sneered, ignored Zhang Yun's words, and took a sip of tea soup by himself.

Zhang Yun saw that Zhu Huan didn't speak, and he didn't care.

As a family that married each other, Zhang Yun naturally knew what Zhu Huan was thinking, and he did not oppose it, nor did he publicly express his support.

"Since Brother Hugh Mu doesn't speak, you will acquiesce!"

"Whatever you want, anyway, whether it is the four great families or the three major families has little to do with my Zhu family!"

Gu Yong saw that the two had agreed to take away the interests of the Lu family in Jiangdong, so he could only sigh helplessly. As an in-law with the Lu family for generations, Gu Yong's heart still felt inappropriate.

"Please also see that there is often the righteousness of in-law between my Gu family and the Lu family, so don't take it too seriously!"

With Gu Yong's consent, Zhang Yun had a smile on his face and said to Gu Yong: "Brother Yuansi, don't worry, the little brother naturally knows it in his heart!" ”

Having said that, Zhang Yun's heart was extremely contemptuous, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's really naΓ―ve! When will the competition of interests between the families become soft-hearted because of the righteousness of in-laws, if it can't be broken with one blow, when the Lu family is relieved, wouldn't we have to guard against the three families day and night, lest the Lu family rise again, oppose us and the other three families! ”

"You must know that if you fight a snake, you will not die, but you will suffer from it!"

Zhang Yun glanced at the two people beside him, waved his right hand, and said, "Then let's go to Lu's house to put incense on Lu Kang, and go see those two children by the way!" ”

When the words fell, Zhang Yun stepped out, and after Zhu Huan and Gu Yong glanced at each other, they also left with a smile.

Seeing the two leaving, Gu Yong smiled bitterly and said softly to himself: "Ji Ning, I also have to do it as a last resort, I hope you don't blame me!" ”

……

……

In the courtyard of the Lu family's house, after Lu Yi has been freshened up, the meaning of the wind and dust on his body is to wash it.

Dressed in neat filial piety clothes, Lu Yi stepped out of his room door with the support of the servant and walked to the mourning hall in the main hall.

After coming to the mourning hall, Lu Yi first knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Kang's spiritual position again.

Slowly stood up, took the three-pillar incense handed by the person next to him, and stepped forward, ready to pay tribute.

Just as Lu Yi was about to insert the incense into the incense burner, the shouts of the servants rang out outside the mourning hall.

"The three patriarchs came to offer incense to the old lady!"
