Chapter 3 It's all a play
Actually, Liang Jiu really didn't like this old ancestor.
Selfish and profit-oriented.
When my grandmother was alive, she said that this old ancestor was not a good person.
Now, she is always tempted intentionally or unintentionally, and now she uses her mother as a raft, and always likes to sow discord.
This person is really annoying!
"Unkindness, injustice, disloyalty and filial piety?" Liang Jiu hid the ridicule in his eyes, hooked the corners of his lips shallowly, and said, "I don't know what the unkindness and injustice in my mother's eyes are, disloyalty and unfilial piety?" ”
"Hmph, do you still need me to say the good things you did?" The Liang Wang clan put down the teacup in his hand, his face was full of anger, and said: "You messed up the foundation of the Liang family, and used the private property of the Liang family without the permission of the patriarch, which is regarded as disloyalty to the Liang family; Selling the ancestral property of the Liang family without the permission of the patriarch is regarded as unfilial piety; Cutting off your eldest sister's karma without the permission of your parents is considered unjust. You took advantage of your grandmother's serious illness to steal the position of the head of the Liang family, which is regarded as unfilial. Let's ask, if you don't respect your ancestors and your parents, why is it the head of the family. ”
"The Liang family 7823, the ancestral precepts are the foundation of the Liang family, and no one must violate it in any form or in any way, otherwise, the Liang family will be expelled. The ancestral graves of the three generations must be moved out of the ancestral graves of the Liang family immediately, and they must never enter the ancestral hall of the Liang family! ”
Liang Wang's words suddenly made everyone in the room speechless.
The old lady had just passed away, and the Liang family's room pointed out the fault of the head of the Liang family at this time. Was it deliberate, or was it premeditated?
The Old Ancestor's eyes narrowed, and a trace of light that others couldn't understand suddenly flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"The eldest sister's marriage seems to be because of the man," Liang Jinshu spoke first, breaking the silence in the room. It seems to be talking to himself, and he seems to be talking to Liang Jiu beside him: "Didn't you say that that person's birthday was not in harmony with the eldest sister, and he was sick a year ago, and my grandmother was worried that the eldest sister's reputation would be ruined by this incident, so my grandmother took the initiative to give the eldest sister a retreat." I remember my father scolding me at the time! ”
Liang Jinwang's understatement made Liang Wang's face pale and pale, and he was even more angry in his heart.
This girl doesn't know what she's talking about?!
"That's true," Master Liang, who was sitting there playing with the walnuts in his hand, continued: "Those things that touched the family business of the ancestors were all done when the mother was alive, when did it have anything to do with this child?" What you said is a bit heavy, not to mention that this child doesn't go out of the house very much, it's a bad person's marriage, what's the benefit to her? Her eldest sister is married, and it will also help the Liang Mansion, isn't it? What reason did she have to break off her eldest sister's marriage? ”
The words of the eldest master of the Liang family made Liang Wang's face immediately turn pale.
After the old ancestor also agreed with the words of the eldest master of the Liang family, the face of the Liang Wang family was already black and could not be black.
How can this man's mouth owe so much!
"What do you know?" Liang Wang said angrily: "Isn't your eldest sister's matter because of this dead girl?!" If it weren't for this dead girl's criticism, would your eldest sister be Kefu? How much effort did it take me to keep this down? You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and now that you don't have anything, you don't think you have anything to do with this dead girl? What did you do earlier? Why didn't you plan ahead and let me have a head? I've done everything, and I haven't been able to get a good job in the end, have I? ”
Liang Wangshu didn't dare to say a word, just lowered his head.
The eldest man of the Liang family was even more flushed, and he muttered for a long time before squeezing out a sentence, "How can you talk like that......"
"Why can't I?" Liang Wang's family always felt that the man in front of him was not promising, and said a few words in disgust, "Even if you want to find someone to match your children, you may not be able to find a place!" In your life, you have to live with your calligraphy and paintings, what do you care about these idle things? It's like you can figure it out! ”
The undisguised disgust and disgust in his tone made Master Liang's hands tremble.
Liang Yu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, her mother looked down on her father, so naturally she had no scruples. But in front of outsiders, can we save a little face for her father, the head of the family in the Liang family?
Liang Jiu couldn't bear to look at her father like this, and couldn't help but refute a few sentences, "As for what my mother said, the Liang family sold their ancestral property, used their private property, and stole the position of the head of the Liang family, and their daughter didn't recognize it," Liang Jiu wouldn't give Liang Wang's family any chance to speak, and ordered the girl next to him before Liang Wang's family, "Spring, go to my house and bring the small box under my pillow." ”
"Yes." Kasuga answered, turned around and went to the back room.
"Old Ancestor," Liang Jiu suddenly stood up, knelt in front of the old ancestor, and said, "When my grandmother was dying, she left a message in front of my father. Originally, this should have been said by my father, but you also know that if it wasn't for the filial piety of my grandmother, my father would definitely travel to famous mountains and rivers and live up to his youthful ambition. Therefore, in order to fulfill my father's wish, I took over the position of head of the family with a cheeky face. ”
Liang Jiu's words made Master Liang's eyes slightly red.
The old ancestor sitting on the throne rubbed the beard on his chin and nodded with satisfaction.
This kid, these words are very measured. not only fulfilled her father's filial piety, but also refuted her mother's words just now, and did not mention her mother's no.
In time, this child will definitely be able to lead the Liang family to another glory, but it's a pity that he is a female doll. How nice it would be if it was a male doll!
"Today, while my ancestor is here, I will repeat what my grandmother left that day." Liang Jiu, who was kneeling on the ground, did not get up, but took the box handed over by the next spring day and knelt in front of the ancestor, "Today's unfilial daughter Liang Jiu, in front of the ancestor, calls the name of her parents, hoping that the ancestor will forgive her sins and hope that her parents will forgive." ”
"Good boy, your parents won't blame you." The old ancestor rubbed his beard and responded with a smile.
But in fact, what he thinks in his heart, it is estimated that only he knows.
"So, thank you Ancestor."
"Everything on this paper was dictated by my grandmother, written by my father, and finally stamped by the patriarch." In order to be afraid that people would question the authenticity of the contents of this will, Liang Jiu said it before opening the box.
Everyone nodded.
This is in line with the historical rules of the Liang family.
Only Liang Wang's family glanced at the thing in Liang Jiu's hand with disdain and pursed his lips.
What's the big deal, who knows if anyone on the will did anything?!
Thinking of this, Liang Wang's hand gesture towards the person standing in the corner was incomprehensible to others in a place where everyone could not see. The man hiding in the shadows nodded his head and immediately turned away.
Seeing that the people were leaving, Liang Wang smiled proudly, feeling that this Zero Rain Pavilion was more pleasing to the eye than usual.
Liang Jiu opened the box, took out a few pieces of paper from it, and read it unhurriedly, "Yu Zhi has been in the Liang Mansion since the first year of Jingwen, forty-six years. Since the death of the old man of the Liang Mansion, he has managed the Liang family for thirty-six years. In the past 36 years, Yu Zhi has been conscientious and conscientious, and finally kept the ancestral business of the Liang family. Now follow the ancestral teachings, and before Yu Zhi is about to pass away, count all the properties of the Liang family. ”
"The Liang family used to be an imperial merchant, and their properties were restaurants, cloth dyeing workshops, jewellery and transport. The property in the shadows is known to the head of the Liang family, so it is not explained here. When I was young, I once said that I would not be the head of the family, so the Liang family must not be persecuted. The sons of the Liang family are not allowed to take charge of the family business under the age of 20, and the second son and concubine are not allowed to inherit the ancestral business. In this way, only the Liang family's daughter-in-law, Xiao Jiu, is thirteen years old, smart and courageous, and should be the head of the family. ”
"The marriage of the son of the Liang family must be the eldest daughter of the Xu family as determined by Yu Zhi on that day, if she dares to disobey, it will be regarded as giving up the position of the head of the family. It is decided by the current head of the family, and the next head of the Liang family is decided. When the son of the Liang family inherits the position of head of the family, his children and grandchildren must also be at least five years old before they can take charge of the liquor store and jewellery under his name. ”
"The second son, Xingyan, can be in charge of Cao Yun when he reaches the age of fifteen. The rest of the matter is decided by the patriarch of the Liang family and the head of the family. Yu Zhi married into the Liang family for 46 years, a total of six children were born, according to the rules of the Liang family, after adulthood, only the eldest son can stay in the ancestral house, and the rest must go out of the house to live another life. ”
"The Liang family has always been brothers, and I hope that the Liang family can take more care of the rest of the Liang family's five rooms. Liang's daughter-in-law, Liang Wang, was born in Youzhou Wang, who should be generous, virtuous and virtuous, but she doesn't understand human feelings. Therefore, he entered the Liang family temple and cultivated himself. ”
In other words, Mrs. Liang meant that there were too many things in the Liang family, and she would never come out when she entered the family temple.
Before Liang Jiu finished reading, the Liang Wang clan over there was already jumping up angrily, "What did you say?!" Put me in the family temple?! What did I do wrong! How can you put me in the family temple, this old pious woman......"
"I don't say that I've seen the old ancestor," Sun Liang, the head of the Liang family, spoke out in time and suppressed his mother's voice, "I heard that the old ancestor came to Sister Jiu's place, and I didn't say anything about coming to visit me." ”
Liang Jiu raised his eyebrows, and the waves in his eyes darkened.
This brother of hers is really here. It looks like a simple one, but in fact, there are a lot of ghost eyes. She was suspicious that all the coherent words her mother had just said were taught by this ghost-eyed brother.
Liang Jinshu laughed a few times, glanced at Liang Jiu, and then drank the tea unhurriedly as if there was nothing to do.
What a coincidence that this brother of hers came!
The old ancestor nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but this kid is becoming more and more calm." ”
"Needless to say, you went to Mr. today?" Master Liang looked at his handsome son, and his heart became more and more proud.
Liang Buyan bowed and said, "I've already been to Mr.." The gentleman said, when you are free, you can go to the gentleman to see his new paintings and calligraphy. ”
"Yes, your husband's vision is very high, and if he says yes, then the painting must be good." Master Liang didn't want to respond.
Liang Buyan's eyes quickly flashed a touch of disgust, and then he looked at Liang Jiu who was standing in the middle without incident, and said seemingly unintentionally: "When Buyan just came in, I happened to hear that my grandmother was going to punish my mother to go to the family temple. It's just that her mother is the mistress of the Liang Mansion, and if she guards the family temple, it will be said that she deliberately went to the family temple to avoid it because she didn't keep filial piety for her grandmother, which affected the reputation of the Liang Mansion. ”
"Needless to say," the old ancestor pondered for a moment, looking at Liang Buyan with cloudy eyes, "Then it can't be disobeying your grandmother's wishes, right?" ”
Liang Buyan secretly scolded the old fox in his heart.
This obviously wants him to accept his love!
Liang Jiu watched the small movements between the two of them, and the corners of his good-looking lips hooked slightly.
In this play, the more people there are, the more lively it is!
