In the afternoon, Lu Wan and the third brother Lu Xuan accompanied the old lady to gossip. After a while, the eldest young grandmother Gu Luozhen also came to serve, she is the young lady of the Renqiu Gu family, the eldest young master of the Lu family, Lu Xian, only married two years ago, just 20 years old, and she was born a great beauty. Lu Wan praised her as Helen as Apath, and she had the beauty to provoke the Trojan War. Gu Luozhen was originally conceited by his appearance, but since he saw Lu Wan, he began to feel what was a peerless appearance, and he didn't take his appearance as seriously as before.

After returning from the Confucian Temple with Li Keding, Lu Wan was in a very good mood, and in order to make his grandmother happy, he told everyone the myth: "It is said that in ancient times, there was a high mountain in the Central Plains, called Fanggao Mountain. There is a river on the mountain, called the Mingshui River, the water of the river is clear and cold, and it does not freeze all year round. The strange thing is that the water in the river is clearer than the well water, and the humane water is that when the water is clear, there are no fish, but there are all kinds of fish growing in the Mingshui River. These large and small fish are extremely large and diverse, and they often gather in schools, some in the east, some in the west, and some in the middle. Each group of fish has elected its own group leader, and their election methods are also different: some rely on drawing lots, some rely on hammer and paper-scissors, some rely on everyone's recommendation, some rely on martial arts, some rely on strategy, some rely on inheritance, some rely on Zen concessions, and some rely on gangs to form gangs. When these fish form a group, they begin to be idle, because their language is so rich that they can suffocate the fish to death if they don't speak for a day. The so-called fish in the Mingshui River are inseparable from talking, just as they are inseparable from water. Therefore, some of them chanted poems, some talked about Buddhism and Taoism, some talked about martial arts, some talked about water ecology, and so on. Another common trait of these schools of fish is that they all think that other schools of fish are stupid schools. The more fish there are in a group, the happier and richest they think of as their group. Every day, each group sends out a loud fish to publicize how good their own group is and how bad other groups are, all in order to make their own fish group cohesive, and even absorb other groups of fish. After a short time, there were fish in these groups that defected to other groups, and some of them were allowed by the group owner to meet the rules of the group; Some were expelled from the group because they violated the rules of the group, and had to choose other fish to take refuge. Fish that voluntarily break away from the group often invite insults and call them fish traitors. What do you think on this day, when a group owner says to his caretakers, "Our fish are so great that they should be an example for other fish to follow?" Administrator Zuo said that the group leader is wise, and now the other fish schools are getting worse, only our group is thriving, and it is a good time to show off my group's might. As soon as the words were finished, there was a full house, and all the fish raised their fins, swung their tails, and shouted: The leader of the group is wise, and I am the might; Long live the group leader, show off my group power! But the administrator of the Ministry of Rites had a different opinion, and he said to the fish: "Wait, this statement of showing off my group of power is a bit inappropriate, everyone is a school of fish, and saying "show off my group of might" does not show my group of holy images, so it should be said in a different way. Since our group occupies the north bank of the Mingshui River, it is more appropriate to call it "Yao I am on the north bank of the group". When the fish heard this, they echoed in unison, so the cry of "show off my north shore group might, show off my north shore group power" resounded under the water. As soon as the shouting stopped, the administrator of the Ministry of Officials continued: "Group master, according to the minister's opinion, let's simply set the group name as the North Shore Group, and my group leader is the great North Shore Group Master." The group of lords listened to it for a while, and said with satisfaction: "Quasi-play!" Administrators, we must make the North Shore the richest and most powerful. "All the administrators shouted together: The group leader on the north bank is wise, and now the group is in charge, and it won't be long before the group leader will be able to dominate the water! Then, all the fish outside the hall also shouted in unison: Long live the North Shore Group, long live the North Shore Group Lord! ’

Hearing this, the old lady couldn't help laughing, and said to everyone with a smile, this girl is really my good Wan'er, where did the things in her head come from, that is, a few brothers and sisters together, and you don't know as much as you alone.

Lu Xuan, who was only 7 years old, listened carefully on the side, staring at a pair of eyes, as if fascinated.

Seeing that he couldn't understand the meaning of the story, Lu Wan pinched his chubby face and asked, "Have you become a fish?" ”

Lu Xuan said seriously: "If only I were a fish, I will take them to war, and I will be a general." ”

Lu Wan looked at the naïve Lu Xuan, thinking that children are so good, their ideas are different from adults, and they have a unique curiosity about everything, so they asked Lu Xuan: "Is it the fish general of the North Shore Group?" ”

Lu Xuan proudly said with a small belly: "Yes, how majestic General Yu is"

provoked everyone to laugh again, only Lu Xuan felt that everyone laughed strangely, and he didn't know why.

Seeing this, the old lady stroked Lu Xuan's head and said to everyone: "My little grandson is the most sincere, he is still young now, and when he grows up in the future, he will definitely be smarter than your brothers and sisters." ”

Lu Xuan was not without pride, and hurriedly asked Lu Wan: "Second sister, did they go to war?"

Lu Wanlou Lu Xuan, learning to tell a story: "Good brother, you have to know what will happen next, and listen to my sister and I will decompose it next time." ”

It made everyone laugh for a while.

At this time, someone reported that the old lady said that the eldest young master had returned. As soon as the words fell, a tall and slender man with Danfeng eyes, white skin, meticulous combed hair, and entered the door, it was the eldest young master Lu Xian.

Lu Xian and Ning Ning had been hanging out for a few days, and when they saw that the Spring Festival was getting closer and closer, they were afraid that the third uncle would find out his whereabouts, so they pretended to have just returned from Shenzhou and entered the house. After Lu Xian saw the old lady, he replied: "Now the second master of the Fang family in Shenzhou is being imprisoned because he injured the life of the public. I went to Shenzhou this time, and I met Governor Liu, he is no longer as resolute as he was at the beginning, it seems that if the Fang family moves again, the main thing is to serve softly, and they can save the life of Second Master Fang. After the return was completed, the gifts that were brought in by the Fang family were presented to the old lady separately. After the old lady saw it, she left a pair of straight bottles with blue and white glaze and red in the glaze, and gave Lu Wan a side of the inkstone, a piece of ruler to Lu Chen, a piece of jade pendant to Lu Xuan, and the others told Lu Xian to look at it.

Immediately, Lu Xianlai reported the situation in Shenzhou in detail to the third master, Lu Buyi.

Lu Buyi is a person on the scene, who is skilled, shrewd and capable. He told Lu Xian that most of the Fang family's more than 10,000 acres of land are in Shenzhou, and the fields are at least fifty percent concealed, how much money can be saved every year, such a big deal, Fang Feiyuan doesn't know how to restrain it at all. After the year, you need to go to Shenzhou again, in my opinion, Shenzhou is the time to change. Liu Yedao is ruthless, and his father also has roots on it, which is difficult to deal with. This time, if the Fang family doesn't get it right, it may be a failure, for today's plan, the Fang family must quickly repair with the Liu family, there is still something to do; Don't think that it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. In today's chaotic world, there are frequent upstarts rising, just as the so-called this time, that time, the world has changed, everywhere is changing, whether it is the Fang family or us, we have to recognize this fact to adapt to the situation. But then again, in any era, the best way to remain undefeated is to blend the old and the new in a timely manner. You write down the phrase "Harmony leads to symbiosis, and fighting leads to defeat", and when you go in the future, tell the Fang family for me.

Lu Xian thought that Liu Yedao's father had a good foundation in Beijing, maybe he was just a passing god, and when he sent him away, everything would be fine, and asked his third uncle: "In your opinion, Liu Yedao will be the county governor in Shenzhou, will it take a long time?"
