Gong Changyu was at a young age, he had the ambition to be a general, and he had the momentum of a general, and he did cut down the second ruffian in the village tonight, and the old patriarch was impressed by this child who liked to skip school on weekdays, and his eyes flashed with a strange light: "Old learning, it is better to be determined than to be long-term." If you really want to serve the country, don't go to a private school from tomorrow onwards......"

"Okay, okay, patriarch grandpa, I don't want to go to a private school for a long time." Gong Changyu danced happily, and after being excited for a while, he suddenly remembered that learning martial arts requires apprenticeship, and apprenticeship requires apprenticeship to the master. I don't have any money at home, but I can't do it. Then sell the mountains and forests and fields for money, will grandma and mother agree?

"Patriarch Grandpa, I have something to ask for." Gong Changyu whispered.

The patriarch was a little behind his ears, and he couldn't hear what Gong Changyu said very clearly, so he had to bend over, pat Gong Changyu's little head and say, "Old Xue, what did you just say?" ”

"Patriarch Grandpa, I want to sell the mountain forest in the iron pit, you always be a notary for me, okay?" Gong Changyu raised his voice.

This time, the old patriarch heard it, and hesitated for a while before he said slowly: "When your father was alive, he specially told the old and decrepit, that the mountains and forests can't be bought. ”

"The mountains are full of miscellaneous trees and thatch, why can't they be sold?" Gong Changyu asked angrily.

"It was given to your aunt Lanping as a dowry, it is a testimony of the friendship between the two families of Gong Zhu for generations, and the toad well is part of the mountain forest. The things given to the Zhu family can't be taken back, little grandson, understand? The old patriarch smiled.

"I can't keep the toad well for my aunt, but I still want to sell him. Grandma, what does the title deed of the iron pit say? Gong Changyu took Dai's hand and said.

"It's an old school, grandma can't read. However, when your grandfather gave Shanlin to Tangwei Chong to write the land deed, I heard your uncle say that the Zhu family had purchased the right to use the well for 500 years to offset the principal and interest of 20,000 taels of silver owed by our Gong family to the Zhu family. Dai replied.

"Twenty thousand taels of silver, the Zhu family is really generous. An ordinary county in my Qinghe country ordered the imperial court to pay only 45 taels of silver a year, 45 taels of rice, and 1,200 taels of incorruptible silver. The patriarch stroked the several long whiskers at the corners of his mouth and said, "Dai's family, your family's Lanping married to the Zhu family, a well is worth the money, and you make a lot of money!" ”

"Brother, I don't like what you say, marrying a family is not a business." Dai said with a smile, "The Zhu family is as kind to us as a mountain, and we know the righteousness, we owe them a lot, and we have to repay the favors we owe in the end. ”

"Dai's, if you can't pay off the favor, don't pay it back, just keep it in your heart, and let the younger generations know the kindness of others." The old patriarch paused, coughed twice, and changed his words, "It's the same with revenge, when will it be time to retribution for wrongs." Tonight, Erlaizi was taught a lesson by your grandson, his brothers are all fritters, and they want to come to me to make trouble, this should be on the way here, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, you better hide quickly. ”

"Brother, we didn't provoke the incident, why do you want us to hide?" Dai was dissatisfied.

"Yes, Grandpa Patriarch, I'm not afraid of them. My eighth uncle brought a musket, and if anyone dared to hurt someone, he would be shot in the head. Gong Changyu pointed to the musket on Gong Wencheng's waist.

"No, you can't. If things get bigger, it's not good for anyone. In this case, you guys will go to my attic and hide first, and I'll take care of the rest. If the brother of Erraizi threatens me with a knife and forces me to hand you over, watch me act with gestures. Whoever comes out will shoot whoever comes out, as long as it doesn't hurt their lives. The patriarch pushed Wen Cheng upstairs first, "Wen Cheng, don't shoot until the critical moment, can you remember?" ”

"Patriarch, I understand." Gong Wencheng nodded knowingly.

Dai took Gong Changyu and followed Wen Cheng up, and walked as he spoke: "At this time, you must not have a hard fight with the brothers of Er Laizi, otherwise the patriarch will not be able to step down." Once the fight starts, there are really dead people, and we can't afford to hurt them. ”

"Third aunt, it's not a way for us to hide, Lao Xue is disabled because of protecting you, according to the laws of my Qing and the empire, not only will he not be punished, but he will also be rewarded by the yamen." Wen Cheng closed the door to the attic, drew his musket, and aimed the muzzle at the opposite hall.

"The officials of the Yamen, whoever gives money will stand on his side, whoever has more money will be justified, and it is unrealistic for the old school to want to be rewarded." Dai stood in front of the window before pushing open a window.

There was a disorderly footstep outside the house, noisy, and the door was pounded: "Patriarch, open the door, open the door quickly, Er Laizi has been cut down——"

Gong Changyu hurriedly closed the window, revealing a little gap: "They are finally here." Grandma, Eighth Uncle, squat, don't let them find out that we are here. ”

"Okay." Wen Cheng quickly drew the musket back, set it up by the window, and asked in a low voice, "Third aunt, is Er Laizi seriously injured?" ”

"Eighth uncle, Er Laizi will not die for a while and a half, wait for them to come in, if he sees Er Laizi is also there, it means that he should not die." Gong Chang said to Nunu.

"Hey, here's coming-" Downstairs, the patriarch carried a lantern and a cane, walked slowly through the patio, walked to the door of the house, opened the door, and several brothers of Er Laizi carried Er Laizi and stumbled in, almost knocking the patriarch to the ground, followed by more than a dozen young men watching the excitement.

The patriarch raised his crutches, slashed his head and covered his face with the young man in front of him, and scolded: "Sanlaizi, you dare to go on a rampage in my family, don't you have long eyes?!" Put the people on the rack down for me! ”

The patriarch was completely angry, and the brothers recklessly rushed into the patriarch, If it is dealt with according to the clan rules, it will be closed at the least, and the rod will be punished at the worst.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the three Laizi brothers were so frightened that they hurriedly put down the second Laizi who was carrying, especially Sanlaizi was frightened, touched his hot head, and couldn't help but sweat coldly.

"Patriarch, we offended your old man, we were wrong, this is not enough to compensate you......" San Laizi pounced and knelt on the ground, not daring to come out.

Er Laizi, who was lying on the lifting frame, was very calm, he opened his eyes, raised his right arm, which was still bleeding, and suddenly howled and cried, with tears and snot: "Patriarch, you have to make the decision for me." ”

The old patriarch looked serious, and said with a straight face: "Your mother is not dead yet, why are you crying!" Say something quickly, let it go if you have a fart! ”
