Section 56 The Wind Rises (Part II)
The people of the Li family are also thinking about the same thing at this time.
Li Tan, Li Nie, Li Zhan, Li Xuan, Li Mo, Li Zheng and even Li Ji and Li Ji's two sisters and a younger brother were allowed to participate in this family meeting, along with Li Jun, who was grounded, was also pulled out, and naturally there were Li Pei and Li Xuan's family members next to them, but they would only have the right to listen and have no right to speak. Li Ji said what Lao Luo asked to relay, and as a result, the family meeting fell silent, and everyone was thinking about this issue. What to do?
After being silent for a long time, Li Tan, the oldest old master, sighed deeply, "This is a good man, he uses the tricks of a typical army, no matter what you think, I will go all the way, and I have no choice." ”
Li Ne smiled as usual and didn't speak, anyway, he rarely spoke at this kind of family meeting, and besides, this Luo Saburo has a lot of affection for his youngest daughter, so he won't be treated badly, as for family affairs, anyway, there is a second brother to worry about, he can't get used to the internal struggle in the entire camp, and of course he doesn't like to participate in it. The old man squeezed his eyes at his daughter Li Ji, but he was a little cynical.
Li Ji is the youngest, although she is a party, she is not good at speaking directly, and she was thinking about the ancestor praising the man she liked, when she suddenly saw her grandfather's expression, she couldn't help but laugh.
Li Zhan had a headache, he was a person who didn't have any ideas, so he came back the day before yesterday According to Zhang Lu, they discussed a procrastination trick, because he and Zhang Lu wanted to borrow Lao Luo's power, but they didn't want Lao Luo to take the right to take over the craftsman camp in the future. Unexpectedly, people not only found another way to have a good relationship with their brother, but also chose a time limit to make an ultimatum. Others may be able to say that he, the initiator of the Eastward Return, is a little passive, these days, only remember to persuade people from all sides, but ignore the key person of this choice, although he does not necessarily ask for the other party's help, but after coming back for so many days, he has not contacted the other party again, and he will be divided in the future, and the friendship of the former fellow road will be lost in the end. In addition to this, I don't know why, my niece Siniang, who still listens to her words on weekdays, has a much worse attitude now, which is another big problem.
Without a few people thinking about what to say, Li Xuan, the head of the Li family's chores, spoke, "Ancestor, this afternoon, the Georgian Samtz made trouble in front of Luo Jiazaburo's camp, and now the people have been detained, and half of his men have been killed. It is said that Xiao Wu of the Zhang family went to intercede, and no one knew what he said, but Zhang Xiao Wu was kicked out. ”
Everyone has heard of this news, and everyone below has different opinions, but there is no accurate news, but now that Li Xuan has reported the situation, everyone is a little surprised.
"Are there any casualties among this Luo Saburo's men?" It was Li Mo who asked, and the Li family was more scheming.
"No, it is said that there are only three or five minor injuries, and they will be raised for ten days and eight days." I can't help but say that the information collected by Li Xuan is quite accurate.
A group of sighs erupted, followed by a long silence.
"Zhan'er, what should I do according to your opinion?" Li Tan asked.
"This ......" Li Zhan actually doesn't have any ideas, or his ideas often rely on Zhang Lu, a scholar, and his mind is messed up at this time, and he can't think of anything.
"Hmph, when you are with the boss of the Zhang family on weekdays, you don't even have your own opinions?" The old man was a little dissatisfied, although the Zhang and Li families cooperated a lot, but you always have to have an idea for this kind of thing, right? He turned his head and asked the eldest grandson, who rarely spoke on official business, "Tulongzi, you speak to me, don't be like a stuffy gourd!" ”
Li Nie didn't expect his grandfather to speak by name, a little suddenly, "Grandpa, I, I don't know what to say, anyway, I know that this Luo Sanlang won't harm my Li family." ”
"You, you, you earth dragon, you are wise and foolish." Old man Li Tan was angry, isn't this the reason, people don't want to target you, there is no harm in the short term, in the long term, there is no hope here in the long term, how to choose what is important and how to choose is obvious.
"Ancestor, time is running out, I propose to have an interview with this Luo family Saburo to discuss the matter of returning to the east." It was Li Mo who spoke, and it was he who wanted to support a faction in the Sylvan royal family and get the initiative.
"Grandpa, no! This Luo Kaixian offended the Georgians, and there will definitely be revenge, in case...... We'll be implicated. "Li Lian was released from the single courtyard, and he just reacted, and there has been such a big change in a few days, but no matter what, he can't let the people in the eldest brother's room have the upper hand, otherwise what weight does he have to say?
I can't help but say that there is some truth in Li Lian's words, but the thing in his bones is that he is timid and afraid of things, and he has no responsibility, and his words have aroused a lot of contempt. Even Li Tan had such an expression, "You sit down, Xiao Mo, right?" Go back and meet Luo Saburo and ask him what he thinks. ”
Li Mo agreed loudly and sat down, and the old man Li Tan brought Li Xuan out again, "Xuan'er, you will work hard tomorrow and go to various houses to run, I believe that this Luo Sanlang is known to each family, and ask them what their specific opinions are." ”
After instructing the two of them, Li Tan inspected the surrounding family members, and said very solemnly: "I'm old, and it doesn't mean much to me whether I can return to my homeland, but you, I don't want to wait for me to die after I die, you and your children come to see me in foreign clothes and in foreign languages!" ”
The old man Li Tan said this very seriously, and the family also had many different hearts, but at least they were united on the surface, his words were to warn the younger generations of the family, if the family wanted to be peaceful for the younger generations, they should work together, don't be able to see the ancestors, this is a big taboo, no matter what doctrine you believe in these years, the worship of the ancestors that has been inherited for thousands of years is the first priority, and it is also the key to the cohesion of the people's hearts. The core will of the Li family can be unified under Li Tan's call, and other families may not have the same result.
For example, the Pei family, such as the Wei family, the people of these two families sat together, but they discussed completely opposite things.
The Pei family can call the shots now is Pei Da, and the Wei family can call the shots is Wei Si, Pei Da's name is Pei Donghai, this is still the name that the Zhang family helped to make, Wei Si's name is Wei Yuan, and the names are very good, but the behavior of the two is really criticized, because what they do is really not "East China Sea" or "Yuan". Both of them are about forty years old, not that there are no elders on the two families, in the past, the ancestors of the Pei family were in charge of logistics, and the ancestors of the Wei family were responsible for purchasing, both of them were real officials with rich oil and water, and many years later, because of the family education, the two families are the kind of practice of putting interests first, so there is no concept of respecting the old and loving the young, and the older generation was thrown aside.
Because Pei Wei and Wei don't pay much attention to any traditions, they are naturally rejected by the Li and Zhang families, and because the two families have the same interests, they are naturally mixed together, and now many years have passed, everyone has said that Pei Wei is the family, although Pei Da and Wei Si have different temperaments, they are also quite complementary, one is self-proclaimed martial arts, and the other is yin and damaged to the family, and each has his own ideas, so many things as long as the two of them discuss it, it is basically an attitude on the surface.
They are not as bloody and unethical as the grassland tribes who killed their fathers and mothers, but the elders of the Pei Wei family have no right to speak, and they are just living in the back house to support the elderly. Of course, no one knows whether the old men of Pei Wei's family were robbed of their handle, or whether they took the opportunity to delegate power and hide their strength. Will it be so simple for the old guys who can settle down in a place where there are many foreigners and maintain their family status in the clan?
Although Pei Wei's two families cooperated, they actually didn't trust each other, at least the affairs within the family were tightly covered. In addition, the two families advance and retreat together, and the leaders of the two families can even sleep on a bunch, not to mention drinking together when they have nothing to do.
After dinner, Pei Donghai and Wei Yuan were full of wine and food, and discussed together as usual, talking about the whole thing that Lao Luo's side shook the Tang camp during the day, and they were also quite touched.
"It's really ...... in the afternoon" Wei Si didn't know how to comment, he could play a trick behind the scenes, and he really didn't have an idea about this kind of hard bridge and hard horse in person.
"The surname Luo is really okay, and the Georgians are also a hundred people younger, and he actually took them all without dying...... It's a pity, though. "Pei Donghai, a self-proclaimed martial artist, is naturally quite envious of Lao Luo's combat power. His men have amassed some good combat power, but they can't compare to Green-Eyed Samtz, let alone the warriors of this camp outside the city.
"What's the pity? Pei Da, you mean...... "Wei Yuan certainly heard something different from Pei Donghai's words, but he didn't say that he guessed something, although the two people have the same interests, they are not heart-to-heart but cooperation. On weekdays, Wei Yuan is quite respectful to Pei Donghai, and this is just a compliment.
"Hehe," Pei Donghai was quite proud of Wei Yuan's performance that he didn't guess what he meant, grabbed the wine glass in his hand and said: "The one surnamed Luo can take down a hundred Georgians, but he also completely offended the other party, wait for the other party to solve the matter, and send a thousand people over again, who is strong and who is weak?" ”
"Pei Da Gaojian! Come on, I'll fill you up, let's drink! Wei Yuan slapped his fart.
"Haha, it's rare that Wei Laosi also has a time when you are convinced! We just rely on the Turks, and no Georgians can provoke us, when I don't know that the Zhang family and those guys in the west are eye-catching...... Hmph...... "Pei Donghai was interested and said a lot.
"That's right, the Li and Zhang families are still holding on to the past and not letting go, what's the use? What's the most important thing in these years? There are people under him, money in the pocket, and support behind him, which is the most important thing. Hearing Pei Donghai say this, Wei Yuan also became interested in talking.
"That is, every time the elders meet, the old men of the Li family and the Zhang family say something, the Han family is dressed or something, bullshit, how to wear clothes, how to speak, you can eat enough?" Pei Donghai complained.
"That's right, that's right...... Let's continue to drink...... "Wei Yuan naturally agrees with this point of view, and he agrees with the wine. Of course, no one can know what he thinks in his heart for the time being.
