Chapter 32 The master of the house saw several officials enter the hall and carry the half-unconscious Liu Xianda out, and the other guests in the hall were a little confused. In the house, the cups and plates are in a mess, and the tables and chairs are crooked. There were also some silk and bamboo wind bands that were invited, and when they saw this, they were also stunned. The tenants and long-term laborers were in groups of three or five, whispering.

Liufu suddenly had no leader.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Ladies and gentlemen......" The old patriarch lit his crutches, slowly got up, and slowly walked to the center of the hall.

The old patriarch has a lot of prestige in the clan. Instantly, the hall fell silent.

"Ladies and gentle......men," the old patriarch said with a sad face, "I grew up watching Xianda, and I don't want to tell you anything, I also have high hopes for it." This time, it was also my idea for the clan to choose him as his successor. He tapped his crutches, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes opened like daisies, "But...... We all looked away. At this point...... I, the patriarch, are responsible. ”

"We old guys, old eyes are dizzy, and we don't want to make progress." The old patriarch reflected deeply, "I didn't pay attention to the fact that there was a white-eyed wolf in this mansion. At this point, a few of us old guys are not as good as Ming'er's children. ”

The old patriarch, as the patriarch, is quite prestigious in the county, and this is also the first time he has conducted self-reflection in front of everyone.

"Ming'er, come here......" the old patriarch beckoned to him.

"Now, you have removed a harm for the Liu clan, what reward do you want?" The old patriarch asked, holding Liu Ming's shoulder.

Liu Ming saw that the patriarch had endless grief in his eyes, and thought to himself that at this time, it was not appropriate to ask for a reward.

He arched his hand and said: "Ming'er is not for his own selfish interests, but he just doesn't want to see the old lady suffer innocently. ”

The old patriarch nodded slightly, thinking that he really didn't misunderstand this child, he was general and alert.

He stood up and said with a straight face: "Fellow relatives of the Liu clan, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the family cannot be without an owner for a day. I declare that my second son, Liu Yuanzhi, will inherit the position of the chief treasurer of the house until my second brother recovers, and then we will discuss. ”

At present, although Mrs. Liu has stopped taking medicine, she has completely eliminated the poison in her body, and it is not a day's cold. The illness is like a thread, and in the months of waiting for improvement, Liufu must have a family member.

"I ......" Liu Yuanzhi sniffed and froze there. Although he had been trying his best to fight for the position of the chief treasurer, it was all for his son. Liu Yuanzhi didn't think about what he wanted.

"Yuanzhi ......" The old patriarch looked at each other and admonished: "Liufu is in an eventful time. You have to take responsibility. In this house, forty or fifty people will all have a livelihood, and they all depend on you. ”

Liu Yuanzhi's eyes were a little dazed, and in an instant, he saw the eyes of those subordinate tenants towards him, and they all became respectful.

This big family, take care of yourself?

A few months ago, he was just an idle, infamous prodigal son, and in the house, he even had to look at the eyes of a housekeeper. Nowadays, the entire family assets, all family members, have to take care of themselves.

For Liu Yuanzhi, there is a feeling that a chicken dog has ascended to heaven.

"Nature...... Nature. Liu Yuanzhi also made a steady appearance of a big shopkeeper.

"Ming'er, cough...... Come here, and counsel with you for the Father's sake. Liu Yuanzhi pretended to beckon at Liu Ming.

Still a father?

Liu Ming thought to himself, if he really became the big shopkeeper, his tongue could give birth to flowers.

"Father...... What do you have for advice? Liu Ming naturally had to cooperate.

Liu Yuanzhi said in a low voice: "Son, I'm ...... I'm afraid ......"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"This is the big treasurer, I don't feel comfortable at all, and I have to endure a fart in the future." Liu Yuanzhi said distressedly.

Liu Ming was speechless.

"Daddy...... You have to think about happy things, and when the old lady is cured, you can step down. Liu Ming had to comfort.

"This is good!" Liu Yuanzhi suddenly became in high spirits, "It's not far from the days of freedom." ”

This kind of absurd conversation, Liu Ming thought that it could only happen to himself and his father. In terms of indifference to fame and fortune, Liu Ming found that his father did not lose to any saint.

If you don't have the right to live in seclusion in the mountains, what kind of ability is it? His own father, who has the power but wants to get rid of it like a hot potato, is the real sage.

After thinking about it, Liu Ming suddenly felt that he seemed to have one more thing in his heart that he had not completed.

What is it?

Oops, it's over!

Liu Ming patted his head, his uncle Liu Yong, still stuffed his father's socks in his mouth, tied up with flowers, and locked up in the wing.

He immediately hurried to the backyard to untie Yoo Yong. After a while, an earth-shattering roar came from the backyard:

"Why don't you take a hook with you! Ming'er, I'm going to kill you! ”

……

……

After sending off the clan elders, Liu Yuanzhi immediately began to fulfill the duties and obligations of the chief treasurer. In fact, many things in the house are carried out step by step in accordance with the original rules, and there is no need for Liu Yuanzhi to do any innovation.

The old lady's side has been replaced with new medicine, and the illness is like a thread, and he has to be slowly recuperated. The whole house has formed a tacit understanding, and during the period when the old lady is weak, he will keep silent about Liu Xianda.

After this play, Liu Ming obviously felt extremely tired. He fell asleep for a day and did not wake up until the evening of the next day.

When he got up, he realized that it was past dinner. Remembering the rules of the Liufu on the severe punishment of being late for dinner, he immediately stood up, put on his clothes and shoes, and ran to the dining room.

Hurriedly ran to the hall, but I didn't hear the hurried footsteps of the people in the house and the sound of passing dishes with dishes.

"These dishes, go and heat them again."

"Master Wu, it's been hot twice."

"If you are hot, you will be hot, what nonsense. Young Master Ming hasn't come yet, and the old men who are waiting in the dining room haven't said anything, when will it be your turn to speak as a cook. ”

The reprimand of Steward Wu came from the stove room.

Waiting for your own hot meal?

Liu Ming was a little embarrassed, and immediately trotted in, and smiled apologetically at Steward Wu: "Old Wu, I'm tired, let you heat up a few dishes." ”

The Wu housekeeper exaggerated and shouted: "Little Xianggong, what you said is a small one." You are the pillar of the family, and you are responsible for the big things in the family all day long. The things we do are nothing. ”

Liu Ming hurriedly ran to the dining room, and when he saw everyone seated, he left himself.

Liu Ming's face was slightly red, and he apologized: "I'm late, I'm sorry everyone." ”

"What are these words? We're not hungry anyway. Liu Yuanzhi, who was on the main seat, was holding a toothpick, "The old lady is inconvenient, and the meal has been delivered." Others, wait for you, it's okay. ”

Only then did Liu Ming realize that his father was the main family member in this mansion. Dozens of people in the Chen Mansion are all listening to their fathers.

The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year.

Liu Ming still remembers that when he first arrived in the mansion, the eldest uncle Liu Xianda presided over the family banquet, but now, it is no longer a matter of time.

He swept Liu Wu and said strangely: "Auntie, why are you sitting at the sub-table?" ”

That Liu Wu and Liu Aman shrank in the corner of the sub-table with a restrained face, like two people living under the fence.

"We ...... I can't get on the table......" Liu Wu sneered, "You are all in charge of the family, and it is convenient to eat at the same table." ”

No matter how Liu Ming invited, Liu Wu just didn't want to go to the main table.

The cooks and men brought the dishes on trays, and in the blink of an eye, the table was steaming hot and fragrant.

The atmosphere of this meal is quite harmonious. No one mentions what happened a few days ago.

Liu Ming ate more openly, and made a fist with the little uncle Liu Yong, and fought several glasses of wine.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. At this time, the porter hurriedly ran in and said, "Big shopkeeper, what's that...... Yang Dianshi sent someone to give gifts. ”

"Yang Dianshi?" Liu Yuanzhi had a headache and said casually, "What kind of gift is he coming?" ”

The porter said: "It is said that it is a marriage ceremony, the fat chicken and giant carp, the new fruits, full of two large boxes." The giver asked...... When will you be able to marry Miss Apricot? ”

Liu Ming thought to himself, it's bad, and this matter has not been resolved.

Liu Yuanzhi was so angry that he threw down his chopsticks and scolded: "Just like that sharp-beaked monkey gills, he still wants to marry us Xing'er." You answer him like this, saying that it is impossible! ”

"Master...... "The porter persuaded, "I'm afraid it's not good." ”

"What's good or not!" Liu Yuanzhi slapped the table violently, and with a "bang", the dishes and chopsticks were shaken.

"Now, I am the big shopkeeper of Liufu, and I have the final say on all matters at home." Liu Yuanzhi was furious, "I will never allow Xing'er to marry such an old thing!" ”

Everyone in the dining room was silent. Everyone knows that the current big shopkeeper hates the master of the classics.

"That's it, get out of here!" Liu Yuanzhi had no interest in eating at all, and urged the porter to reply.

"Wait!" Liu Ming waved his hand to stop, "Dad, it's really impossible to reply like this." ”

He called the porter to his side and instructed, "You just say that there are many events in the house, and the marriage contract will be discussed again, and I hope you will understand." ”

Liu Ming believes that this statement is quite reasonable, and the meaning of it is already very clear. It's just that Yang Liwu is willing or not, but it's hard to say......

However, so far, he can only probe the other party's tone first.

"Yes, you say that." Liu Yuanzhi nibbled on the chicken leg and said to the porter, "What's the matter, I'll take it!" ”

Liu Ming originally thought that this matter, according to Yang Liwu's temperament, would not be so easy to solve. However, the next day, a message came from the subordinates of the Yang Mansion, saying that Yang Liwu respected the decision of the Liu Mansion and the marriage contract was dissolved.

It's as simple as that?

It's that easy?

Yang Liwu broke off the marriage contract so happily, which surprised Liu Ming. From now on, I can fly with Apricot?

The sudden happiness made Liu Ming a little dizzy. He pondered, that Yang Liwu, maybe he was afraid that the scandal of the Liu family would endanger him, or maybe he fell in love with a young lady from another family. Liu Ming speculated that Liufu was not so important to Yang Liwu. He exposed the uncle's affairs and picked up the other party with a promotion gift, maybe the other party bought his own face.

In any case, the sword of Damocles on his head was finally removed......
