Except for Lu Jianzhong, everyone stared at the box.

Lu Chong showed everyone the three copper locks hanging on the box: "Look, it's as good as ever." ”

The brass lock on the box looks very strong and intact, but in fact, everyone understands that if Mrs. Lu didn't leave this letter, the box could be replaced, and the lock couldn't really be opened. It's just that things have come to this point, and no one is willing to say such things that are not only useless, but also cause contradictions.

The old grandfather was the first to take out a key from his arms, opened the first lock, and Lu Chong also opened the lock, and the next strange thing is that the remaining key is not in the hands of Lu Ling, who is of high seniority, but in the hands of Lu Biao, who is of low seniority. Among the four clan elders, only Lu Ling did not have a key, which was a surprising thing in itself, but Lin Jinrong also understood better why Lu Ling would take the lead and fight against the old grandfather. She couldn't help but wonder, was this arrangement a coincidence or was Old Lady Lu intentional? But either way, the truth is no longer inquisitive.

The box was opened, and the old grandfather took out the letter inside, and in front of everyone in the Lu family, he showed whether the fire paint on the envelope was intact, and ordered Lu Jianjian to tear open the letter in their hands at the same time as him, check the contents, and then announce.

The wind blew in from the gate, blowing the vests of the Lu family with their backs to the gate cold, making Lin Yuzhen extremely angry, blowing Lu Jianzhong's tears, and making Lu Jianzhong's face expressionless.

What Mrs. Lu asked was to divide the property without separating the family, at least when Mrs. Lu was alive, she was not allowed to divide the family and live another life. The ancestral house and grange on the old side of the hometown are inherited by the long house, and the large piece of saline-alkali land and mountain forest slope land purchased by the old lady was divided into two halves, half for the long house and half for the third room. The real estate shops in Cheongju and Pyongju Castle are divided into three parts. The three-room people are divided into a total of three-room people, and the three-room is thicker. The shops in Taiming Mansion were all given to the second room, and one of the old shops that made money was clearly for Lu Lun. This is real estate, and as for the floating wealth in the family, it is stated that Mrs. Lu will analyze it in the future.

Mrs. Lu is obviously after careful consideration, the big house and the third room do not have enough manpower to run the shop, and the Grange woodland property is the most appropriate, but the shop is a matching side dish; And the second room. Obviously, there are more people and more power, and they are better at management, so most of the people given are shops. Putting the right to distribute the floating wealth in the family to Mrs. Lu is to leave a guarantee for the old wife.

In his opinion, he has already thought carefully and considered the people of Sanfang to the greatest extent in combination with reality. It's fair and appropriate. But except for Lu Jianjian, who was very grateful and satisfied, the big room and the second room were not satisfied.

Lin Yuzhen felt that the second room had taken advantage of it, who didn't know that the house and field were dead, the shop was the golden rooster that laid eggs, and the long house would do something in the future. With so much responsibility, why did you give all the shops in Taiming Mansion to the second room? This is still on the surface, the second room has been in charge of housework for so many years, and I don't know how much I was greedy during the days of serving the disease. If this letter was not taken out by Lu Jianjian, she would have suspected that the letter was fake. Thinking about it again, if he hadn't forced this matter to be solved and didn't give Lu Jianzhong a chance to cheat, I don't know how many family properties would have to fall into the hands of the second room. Maybe everything in those lands will be divided by the second room. So he hated Lu Jianzhong and his wife even more.

Lu Jianzhong's face was unwavering, and his heart was as painful as a knife. Although he has known about this situation for a long time, he has never accepted it, and he has been changing his mind, and now he has to accept it, which is really painful. Pingzhou is the root of the Lu family, and both the big and third houses have fields and houses. Only the second room did not, he had a feeling of being exiled and excluded, just like when Mrs. Lu drove Lu Shao out of Pingzhou, he now feels that he was driven out.

Needless to say, the old mansion side. Later, the saline-alkali land and mountain forest slopes that he bought were all operated by him and Lu Shaoxin with hard work, but the result was a large house and a three-room house to pick up ready-made cheap. The shops in Taiming Mansion, except for the two that have been opened early, the remaining shops are all new shops that have only been opened in the past two years, and the future is unclear. The old man was not kind, and gave most of the stable and risk-free money to the big house and the third room, but he gave him the one who wanted to take the risk. He has so many sons to eat, so many grandchildren haven't grown up yet, why? As for the floating wealth in the family, how will the old lady divide it? The old lady's favorite is Lu Jianxin, and what she is most afraid of is that Lu Jianli has no food to eat......

Lu Jianzhong was very sad and sad, for many years, he and the Song family had been in charge of housework, filial piety to their parents, and hard work, but as a result, they all made wedding clothes for others, and he had to be kicked out, and the old man was unreasonable. Otherwise, would he have thought about doing something earlier? It just doesn't make sense. So Lu Jianzhong began to cry, but he didn't say much, so he kept shouting: "My father, ......" This time the tears and sadness were not made, they were really sad and sad.

As soon as he cried, Lu Jianli also cried, big and small. It's not lively. Several clan elders looked at each other for a while, and the old grandfather coughed lowly and said, "You don't have any opinions, right?" ”

There must be opinions, but the matter is a foregone conclusion, no one dares to shout in public that they have opinions, but they are just planning in their hearts, how to make up for their losses, so they continue to cry.

No one spoke, so the old grandfather took it as if he had no opinion: "Okay, since there is no opinion, please ask which granddaughter-in-law to see if your old lady is in spirit, let's go and see her, and by the way, make a deal with her." As for the side, I'll subdivide it when your eldest brother comes back. ”

No one paid any attention to him. Tu laughed in tears, Lin Yuzhen was angry in tears, and Song was bitter in tears.

Kang looked at Lin Jinrong. Lin Jinrong lowered her eyes and looked at her toes, obviously unwilling to come out and run this trip, so she had to say cautiously: "I'll take a look." After taking two steps, he stopped again and shouted to Lin Jinrong: "Second sister-in-law, let's go together." ”

Lin Jinrong didn't refuse, turned around and followed her, leaving a room full of men and women, old and young, who were each thinking and crying.

Kang and Lin Jinrong walked one after the other, unable to find anything to talk to each other, and always felt that there was something in between. Lin Jinrong didn't know what Kang's mood was at the moment, but she understood that she couldn't let this situation go on, as long as she still needed Kang's help in Lu Lun's affairs in the future, she couldn't let Kang's go away with her.

Lin Jinrong coughed and said, "Third brother and sister, are there many guests here today?" It's probably busy in the kitchen, right? If I can't do it, I can talk to my mother and ask her to send some competent people from my mother's house to help. ”

Kang's eyes lit up, but he didn't refuse: "It's really a little too busy, so it's very good." ”

Lin Jinrong smiled: "They haven't left yet, so I'll send someone to talk to them." He immediately instructed Cherry to go to Tao and the others to spread the word.

Kang's accepted her affection, so it was not good to hold his face again.

The two walked to Rongjingju together, only to hear the sound of wooden fish inside, and it was so quiet that it was not like words. Su Xin stood alone under the porch, and when she saw the two of her coming, she hurriedly ran over, and said cautiously: "The old lady asked, can the diet and living of the clan elders be arranged?" Don't slack off. In fact, it was a euphemism to ask how things were going on outside, and whether there was a falling out.

Kang said, "It's all arranged." ”

Lin Jinrong squeezed Su Xin's hand and said in a low voice, "It's okay." ”

Su Xin said with tears in her eyes: "Amitabha." The old lady can't stand the stimulation. The tone was half pleading, half helpless.

The old lady can't hide what happened outside, and the old lady is just pretending to be confused. Kang and Lin Jinrong glanced at each other and entered the room in silence.

The sound of the wooden fish stopped, and the old lady Lu, who was dressed solemnly and neatly, knelt on the futon, and looked back at the two of her silently, with a pair of old eyes that could not be said to be tired and sharp.

Kang smiled and said, "Grandmother, the clan elders said they wanted to visit your old man......"

Mrs. Lu stretched out her hand to Mama Sha, Mama Sha hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, Mrs. Lu shook it, leaned on Mama Sha, and said lightly: "Please come." Just say, I am sick and cannot be far away, please forgive me. As he spoke, he tidied up the filial piety clothes on his body again.

After a short time, Lu Jianzhong, Lu Jianli and others really led the old grandfather and a few others to Rongjingju, and after the greetings, the old grandfather told Mrs. Lu what had just happened on behalf of the three people, and handed over the two letters to Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu took it, put it in her sleeve without looking at it, and instructed Lu Jianzhong and Lu Jianjian: "The clan elders come from afar, so they can entertain and not slack off." ”

That's the send-off.

The old grandfather got up to say goodbye, and Lu Jianzhong and Lu Jianjian sent a few people to the guest room to rest. Mrs. Lu took the letter out of her own hands, looked at the candlelight and looked at it, sighed softly, two lines of muddy old tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, and Lin Yuzhen and the others were naturally persuaded again.

Not long after, Lu Jianzhong and Lu Jianli came back, Lu Jianzhong knelt down in front of Mrs. Lu, his dim eyes revealed light again, and said loudly: "Mother, my son has a few things to discuss with you. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Yuzhen, Tu Shi, and Lu Jianjian immediately cheered up, pricked up their ears, and tensed up and down their whole bodies to see what the hell he had in mind.

Mrs. Lu said weakly: "Speaking of which, if there is anything to be solved, I will say it at this time, and solve it together." I don't have the energy to toss with you anymore. I wish I had gone to see your father as soon as possible, out of sight and out of mind, so that I would not have to be left in a pan of oil to suffer. After that, there was another burst of sadness.

Everyone knows what she means. Lu Jianli cried and knelt down: "Mother, it's all sons who are unfilial......"

There was a lot of bang and a row of people fell to their knees.

Mrs. Lu was unmoved, wiped her tears, didn't call them up, and said lightly: "Say it." ”

Lu Jianzhong said: "The son wants to discuss with his mother what to do after his father's death, such as how many people should be invited to do Buddhist things, how many days to do, such as funeral items, what to accompany and so on." Seeing that Mrs. Lu's face was a little unsightly, she changed her words again: "Of course, it's not too late to talk about some things when the eldest brother comes back, but this Buddha thing must be arranged first." ”
