Xu Fu and grandma looked at my emotional appearance, and asked me worriedly what was wrong, I just wanted to tell them specifically, but they came in and said that they were back and had dinner.

I said, "Let's eat first, after eating, Uncle Xu, you can help Jinnian with things first, and then we will sit down and discuss slowly." ”

There were not many people at the banquet, the eldest uncle lingered on the sickbed, the eldest aunt ate with him in his room, and several brothers and sisters were busy in the clan, and they would only rush back in the evening.

The big room is not there, the second aunt is busy, the atmosphere is very good, because of the new moon thing, the second aunt has a gratitude to me in her heart, constantly caring about my living situation, giving me vegetables, her eyes unconsciously aimed at Hu Qichen, with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

Zhuang Jihui and Xu Fu spoke in a low voice, discussing what to do for a while, Xu Fu's hand was very steady, and the plan he said must be nine out of ten, I don't have to worry about it here.

When I finished eating, I pulled Xu Fu aside and asked him who was in the hands of the tickets that Ghost Xiangju gave every year.

Xu Fu groaned, and seemed to be very distressed: "When the great wizard did not pass away, the tickets for each year were personally delivered to his old man's hands, and most of these tickets were handed over to me to deal with, because many of the pigments used in our embroidery are the essence of precious medicinal materials that need to be extracted, these precious medicinal materials are rare in the world, and can only be customized from the ghost fragrance house, the great wizard has died for many years, and the tickets I have saved have long been used up, and the tickets in the past few years are in the hands of your eldest uncle, and I have asked him many times but I haven't arrived, Now my paint is out of order. ”

"What is the eldest uncle doing with these tickets?" Is there a starting price for a ticket?

Xu Fu sneered: "People like him, they take fame and money so seriously, they can't wait to live forever, hold power in their hands, and enjoy wealth and glory forever, keeping these tickets is to keep a life, two years ago, one of his own cronies was infected with a vicious disease, and he saw that he was about to die, and he knelt down and begged him to save his life, but he didn't even look at it." ”

I can't help but sigh, so selfish, it seems that I want to get a ticket, I'm afraid I can't be merciful.

Gu Jinnian was brought into Xu Fu's studio, accompanied by Zhuang Jihui, and I went to my uncle's room.

At that time, the eldest uncle was sitting on the edge of the bed smoking a cigarette, and the eldest aunt was helping him soak his feet, this guy would be able to maintain his health, the wooden barrel reached his knees, and there were unknown medicinal herbs soaked in it, and the smell of medicine mixed with smoke in the room.

When I entered, he glanced at me, but without speaking, I shouted, "Uncle, aunt." ”

"Ah, it's Peng Peng, I'm really embarrassed, your eldest uncle is sick and needs someone to take care of him, I can't pull away, treat your place slowly, don't be weird." The eldest aunt came over with a wooden barrel and said.

I smiled: "It's okay, I'm not an outsider, what's so strange about going back to my own home, isn't it?" ”

The corners of the eldest aunt's mouth twitched and said, "Yes, Peng Peng is right, it's her own family." ”

The eldest uncle lay down on the bed again, I smoked a stool and sat down, stared at him, and did not speak, he smoked slowly, a cigarette was smoked to the butt of the cigarette, burning his fingers, but I still did not speak.

The eldest uncle was impatient, threw the cigarette butt into the spittoon beside the bed, and said, "If you have something to do, what are you doing sitting here like a stake!" ”

"Since the eldest uncle wants me to say it, then I will say it." I said, "I heard that every year the ghost incense house in the ghost market will give our family a ticket, uncle, is there such a thing?" ”

The eldest uncle's eyes lit up, and he said warily: "What are you asking for?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to ask my uncle, how many such tickets do you have in your hand now?" I asked, staring into his eyes.

He lit another cigarette and didn't ask if I mind because I was right next to him, took two puffs, squinted his eyes and asked, "You want tickets?" ”

"Yes, it's not much, one is fine, I don't know if the eldest uncle can cut love?" I further said.

"Why?" The eldest uncle came coldly.

This is to negotiate the conditions with me, what he wants is nothing more than the family property in my grandmother's hand and the gold seal in my hand, both of which are related to my and my grandmother's status in the Wu family and in the clan.

I don't care, after all, I wasn't born and raised here, I can go back to Jiangcheng to live my previous life, but grandma returned to Miaojiang, and she can no longer be separated from Miao Jiang and the Wu family, she can't lose her status, otherwise how can she spend her old age in peace?

So, I can't afford to lose both.

I pondered for a while and asked, "Uncle, what do you say I am?" ”

The eldest uncle was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting me to kick the question back, took another puff of cigarette, and didn't plan to put it down: "What I want, you know better than anyone else, to tell you the truth, I currently have five tickets in my hand, you want, I can give it to you, but you have to come up with the equivalent to exchange with me, otherwise, don't talk." ”

"Forgive my niece for being stupid, I can't calculate the value of these tickets, and I ask my uncle to give me a hint." Whoever makes the bid first loses, and I have the time to spend with him anyway.

Seeing that I didn't take the bait, he estimated that he was a little unsure, and said: "The ticket to the Ghost Xiangju belongs to something with a price, of course, you have to exchange it for something with a price." ”

Oh, if there is a priceless thing, then it is not a family property, he clearly wants the gold seal in my hand!

I pretended not to understand and said, "Then the eldest uncle, look at the niece, there is something valuable on the niece, although you can take it, but before that, shouldn't the eldest uncle also let the niece see the ticket in your hand first?" ”

"Do you believe me?" The eldest uncle said unhappily.

"Of course I trust the eldest uncle, but the eldest uncle doesn't treat his niece as his own person, he has to do business with his niece, so do business according to the rules of doing business, I have to see things, this business can be done, right?" I am neither humble nor arrogant.

The eldest uncle sneered, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and then he groped around from the bed for a while, and took out a small square box with a bronze lock on it, I don't know how he played with it, the square box was opened with his back to me, and he took out a few golden tickets about the same size as Grandpa Mao from inside: "These are the tickets for the Ghost Fragrance Residence, so, what about the golden seal?" ”

"The Golden Seal?" The fox's tail was finally revealed, "Uncle, in your eyes, the golden seal of the Great Wizard is only worth these tickets to the Ghost Fragrance Residence?" In this way, in your eyes, the status of the Great Wizard is almost the same as the status of the gatekeeper of the Ghost Fragrance Residence? ”

"I didn't say that!" The eldest uncle began to be impatient and said, "You little girl, the golden seal is useless on you, no one will obey you, sooner or later you will be taken away by the bad guys, and when the time comes, I will harm our people, I can't spare you." ”

"Oh, no one will obey me?" I stood up, took out the golden seal from my arms, and held it tightly in my hand, "So, uncle, the golden seal is now in my hands, you are a member of our clan, can I tell you to do something?" ”

The eldest uncle instantly stared at me viciously: "Wu Pengpeng, don't give you a shame, and then kick your nose in the face, Lao Tzu can make you unable to even enter the territory of Miaojiang!" ”

"Oh, uncle, now it's time for me to ask you, why are you?" I was not afraid to say.

"I ......" he opened his mouth, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "I am your eldest uncle, even if your father is still here, the eldest brother is like a father, you have to listen to me, what are you!" ”

"Oh? An eldest brother like a father? May I ask you, uncle, where were you when my father died eighteen years ago? I've been out there for nineteen years, and where are you? Have you done what an elder brother should do as a father? Now use this to press me, do you think you deserve it? "Since you tear your face with me, then tear it, I'd rather make this matter bigger and make it known to everyone, and then I want to see who can't get off the table in the end!

I'm a teenage girl, no longer has no face and no skin, it's just a matter of being laughed at a few times, he is in the Wu family, in Miaojiang is a figure with a head and a face, and he can't tear up a junior, and when the time comes, he will lose face, I'm afraid it will be much more exciting.

If he can lose this face, I can be even more shameless!

The eldest uncle was so angry that he smoked, his dark purple lips kept shaking, and the cigarette butt in his hand piled up a piece of cigarette ash, which fell down and burned his hand, and he came back to his senses and threw the cigarette butt into the spittoon: "It's the opposite!" It's really the other way around! What I said didn't work! ”

"Uncle, don't get excited, people are old, their body bones are not tough, and when they linger on the sickbed, they are moved by fire, and they carry it in one breath, then from now on, this huge Wu family, it's really not up to you." I continued to fan the flames.

"Wu Pengpeng, you dare!" The eldest uncle yelled at me angrily.

I shrugged, "What would I not dare?" Now half of the Wu family's property is mine, and the golden seal of the great wizard is also in my hands, I just don't want to oppress people with a powerful position, otherwise, uncle, do you think it is necessary for me to come to talk to you calmly about the ticket today? Don't waste what little respect your niece has for you, I promise, if you annoy me, my uncle's sickbed will lie down forever. ”

"You threaten me?" The eldest uncle's eyes widened like goldfish, "What do you want!" ”

"It's nothing, I just want a ticket for my uncle, the ticket for the Ghost Xiangju was originally given to the head of the Wu family, if I really want to, with half of the family property held in my grandmother's hand, plus my grandmother's generation, uncle, you say, should you lick the house?" I'm getting more and more unkind in my words, and I'm going to see how well this great uncle can bear it.

"Evil obstacles, evil obstacles of unknown origin!" The eldest uncle clutched his heart and shouted.

I smiled and said: "The eldest uncle didn't say it, I forgot, I really want to trace the roots, my father is afraid that he is still a few years older than the eldest uncle, in terms of seniority, I should call you the second uncle, right?" ”

"Get out, you get me out, get out!" The eldest uncle was furious, and I heard footsteps outside, so I guess the eldest aunt was coming.

I stretched out my hand: "Give me the ticket, and I will return you to Qingjing." ”

"Don't think!" The eldest uncle snapped and closed the small box, and the bronze lock was instantly locked.

This guy is just stubborn!

At this time, the eldest aunt hurriedly walked in: "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”

I rolled my eyes, and said to the eldest aunt: "The eldest aunt came just in time, I just discussed with the uncle, last time I went back to the Wu family to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, came in a hurry, went in a hurry, and did not even have a simple ceremony, this time there is just time, the eldest uncle is also there, and ask the eldest aunt to gather all the elders in the clan to go to the ancestral hall, this afternoon I am ready to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors." ”

"Wu Pengpeng, what do you want to do!" My uncle sprang up from the bed and reached out to choke my neck.

I quickly took two steps back to dodge, and said: "What do I want to do, the eldest uncle knows very well, if the eldest uncle is really sick and can't get up, I can call someone myself, most of the elders in the clan have also seen it, when the time comes, whether it is to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, or to talk about seniority, or to talk about the eldest uncle to ...... the head of the Wu family."

"Peng Peng, you're trying to force the palace!" The eldest aunt was heartbroken.

"In the end, it is forcing the palace, or someone is occupying the magpie's nest, you know it in your hearts, it was originally a family, I don't want to say the words of the two families, but someone can't tolerate me, so I can only get back what belongs to me, that's what I deserve, isn't it?" People are not ruthless, and their status is unstable, at this moment, I can be regarded as truly understanding the essence of this sentence.

Living in this world, we have to look at the food and talk about the world, the other party is humble and reasonable, let's sit down and talk calmly, the other party is aggressive, see the profit and abandon the righteous, then we will firmly hold the interests in our own hands, so that we can talk more confidently.

The eldest uncle spit out a mouthful of dirty blood, mixed with sticky sputum, extremely disgusting, the eldest aunt panicked to help him pat his back, I flashed some pity in my heart at that moment, but then I thought that if I endured step by step, I would eventually be trampled under his feet, including my grandmother, I hardened my heart!

Now the overall situation is becoming more and more unstable, as my grandmother said, I am weak, and I need the strong backing provided by the Wu family and even the entire clan to help me settle these things, I have to hold this right firmly in my hands, the head of the eldest uncle, I have to press him down no matter what!

Thinking of this, I said: "Auntie, my words have been put here, I will give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, and I will ask for an answer after a quarter of an hour, if you can't make a decision after a quarter of an hour, I will let the elders of the clan come and make a decision for you." ”

After saying that, I left the room in the big room without looking back.

As soon as I walked out, I saw Hu Qichen standing in the corridor, and I was shocked, when did he come with him?

Walking over, Hu Qichen naturally wrapped his arms around my waist: "Spend so much talk with him or in vain?" It's not like I'm talking about you, it's easy to get tickets, and I have a hundred ways to get him to spit them out. ”

I glared at him, I really let him do it, I was really afraid that my uncle would not be able to get up in one breath if he was tossed.

No matter how bad the eldest uncle is, it can't hide his status in the clan and in the Wu family, he has three longs and two shorts, and I will have to bear the charge of being disrespectful for the sake of power in the future!

Besides, the eldest uncle is not good, but Brother Jinyan is still good, I can't let Brother Jinyan hate me.

"Don't talk about it, how is Gu Jinnian doing now?" I changed the subject.

Hu Qichen shook his head: "What does she have to do with me?" She has her own husband, and I just need to take care of my daughter-in-law. ”

I reached out and patted him: "Death!" ”

……

Before I saw Gu Jinnian, I was called to the room by my grandmother, my grandmother's face was gloomy, and she opened her mouth to ask me, "What did you do just now?" ”

"Nothing." I don't want to tell my grandmother, I know her heart, she doesn't want the house to be restless, I'd rather be a little more patient.

Grandma slapped the table: "I asked you what you were doing!" ”

"I went to visit my sick uncle, did I do something wrong?" I asked rhetorically.

"Peng Peng, you have to remember that your eldest uncle will always be your eldest uncle, and after I am a hundred years old, you will have to live in the Wu family for many years, don't make enemies for yourself, understand?" Grandma sighed and said earnestly.

"Grandma, you know that I don't like to make enemies, but I'm not a soft persimmon, people respect me, I respect people, but some people don't want me to live, and I won't let anyone bully." I'm not convinced.

"Silly boy, but your uncle is sick......

"His illness is a heart disease, maybe I stimulate him to get better, grandma, don't worry, nothing will happen." I stuck my tongue out at my grandmother.

Grandma patted my head angrily: "The child is older, and I really can't control you, but Peng Peng, you have to remember that they are your dearest relatives after all." ”

I muttered in my heart, don't want such a close relative, grandma is old, and I can't bear the blood of the Wu family, but for me, this is just a group of most familiar strangers, for me, the relationship is not as deep as with Liu Jinhua, but after all, I have to get along, so I nodded and said: "I understand, they are my relatives, I won't really treat them like this." ”

Grandma was noncommittal, and was silent for a while, and after a while, there was a knock on the door outside, and the eldest aunt stood at the door with red eyes and shouted: "Erniang, I have something to say to Peng Peng." ”

Grandma pushed me and gave me a look, this is to make me restrain a little, I went out with my head down, my aunt pulled me to the railing, took out a ticket from my pocket and stuffed it in my hand: "Pengpeng, your uncle has always been a knife mouth tofu heart, what you want, can he really not give it?" He is just calling for wind and rain in the clan all his life, he is used to being high, his ears can't listen to hard words, and his temper is aroused when he is in a hurry, don't go to your heart. ”

I took the ticket and breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, today I really called those people in the clan over, with the status of the eldest uncle, the supporters below him will not let me climb on his head so easily, and besides, my grandmother will not let me be so presumptuous, although I have the gold seal in my hand now, but the contribution to the clan is not as good as the eldest uncle, even if I finally win everything for various reasons, there will be a discussion below.

Now is not the time, so it's best to take it when it's good.

I put the ticket in my pocket, pulled my aunt's hand and said softly: "I'm sorry, aunt, today is my niece's speech is a little indiscriminate, isn't it in a hurry, now I think about it, I regret it, when the aunt goes back, but you have to help me say more good things in front of my uncle, so that he doesn't get angry with me." ”

"Don't worry, his anger has almost disappeared, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me to deliver you tickets, wouldn't he?" The eldest aunt got off the donkey down the slope.

The two of us said a few more words, and the eldest aunt was leaving, so I reminded again: "Auntie, a lot of things have happened in the clan recently, the eldest uncle is not there for a day, there is no leader in the clan, and after a long time, I am afraid that it will be unstable." ”

The eldest aunt was stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again: "He's almost well, almost well." ”

Looking at the back of my aunt leaving in a hurry, I sighed.

After all, I can't stay in Miaojiang forever, this plate of loose sand will not happen if someone condenses, once it can't be condensed, someone may take advantage of it every minute.

Grandma has some good words, he is my uncle after all, no matter how much he doesn't treat me, the heart for the Wu family and the clan is still there, as long as he is there, he can't disperse.

And after today's events, I believe that he will be a little more restrained with me.

No matter how bad it is, as Hu Qichen said, there are many other ways to suppress the eldest uncle.

It's better to face my uncle alone than to face a group I don't know very well.

……

I pinched the ticket and went to Xu Fu's studio, at that time Xu Fu had already completed the tattoo, and I saw that Gu Jinnian, who had fallen asleep, had a blood-red pomegranate flower on his stomach, and the pomegranate was a symbol of many sons and blessings, and it was perfect for Gu Jinnian.

The room was filled with a smell of blood, as well as the smell of sandalwood, Xu Fu carefully explained Zhuang Jihui's future care matters, as well as the taboos between the bed sheets in the future, Zhuang Jihui carefully wrote it down, very cautious.

When Xu Fu was done, I walked over and handed him the ticket: "Uncle Xu, you take this ticket, help me find out about the whereabouts of the recent large quantities of realgar in Ghost Xiangju as soon as possible, and it is best to get some ways to restrain these realgars, all please." ”

Xu Fu took the ticket, a little incredulous: "You really made him spit out, how did you do it?" ”

"I just said something that sounds rebellious, you don't care about that, you can get the tickets anyway, and everything will be fine." I'm embarrassed.

Xu Fumei said: "It's okay now, I have to think about what medicinal materials to customize this time when I go to Ghost Xiangju, and next time I pass, I don't know what year Ma Yue is." ”

……

Gu Jinnian woke up half an hour later, at that time, Zhuang Jihui had already changed her clothes, she was lying on the bed, a little dazed, just remembered, suddenly covered her mouth and wanted to vomit.

This is a rebellious reaction, Xu Fu has explained, Zhuang Jihui immediately handed over the spittoon, she vomited dimly, and then leaned on the head of the bed weakly, I went over and took her hand and asked her how she felt.

"Pengpeng, I had a dream." Gu Jinnian looked at me and said.
