Chapter 81: Who's Tempting (1)
Zongmiao was the most holy place in the clan in this era, and originally the 'female' son could not enter, but Lan Tiantian was the head of the Lan Mansion and could make an exception to enter.
The patriarch and the elders of the Lan clan all entered, and Lan Tiantian's eyes deepened, but he also slowly walked in.
As soon as she entered, the big 'door' of the temple was slammed shut, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
The patriarch's cold voice came: "The one hundred and twenty-eighth generation of descendants surnamed Lan is on his knees!" ”
The temple is full of ancestral tablets of the Lan family, and at this time incense is lit inside, and the air is filled with the smell of incense and candles.
The patriarch's voice was very majestic, and with the atmosphere here, there was a bit of a cold feeling.
It is not the first time that Lan Tiantian has come here, last year and the year before last, when she came here to offer incense on behalf of all the people in Lan Mansion, but the big 'door' of the temple was opened, and the candle flame was not so hot.
She didn't listen to the patriarch's words and knelt down in the position of the chief priest at the front, but walked directly to the tablet of the ancestors of the Lan Mansion and knelt down and said: "Lan Tiantian, the head of the Lan Mansion, respectfully asks the ancestors of the Lan Mansion to leave the temple, and Lan Tiantian has found another site to build an ancestral hall, and respectfully asks the ancestors to move." ”
She directly ignored the patriarch when she said this.
The patriarch's face was suddenly extremely ugly, and the other elders in the clan had already shouted: "Lan Tiantian, the patriarch is talking to you, you are pretending to be deaf and dumb, ignoring the clan return, how can you be so disrespectful!" ”
Lan Tiantian got up slowly, and said unhurriedly: "A few elders don't know, I made a bet with the patriarch before, as long as someone came to the 'door' yesterday to mention the Lan Mansion, he would move out of the Lan clan, and then he would not be under the control of the clan, at this time, I called him the patriarch not because he was still the patriarch of my Lan Mansion, but because he was already old, and I didn't want to embarrass him too much." ”
Her gaze swept over the other humans: "Since yesterday, you are no longer my clan to me, just ordinary elders, as ordinary elders, I think I have enough respect for you. ”
The patriarch said angrily: "Lan Tiantian, you are really rebellious, you can even say such a thing!" ”
Lan tilted his eyes, but the clan said: "Before you move the ancestral tablet out of the sect temple here, you are still a member of the Lan clan!" ”
Lan Tiantian has seen too many shameless people over the years, and the patriarch is definitely the best among the many shameless, she smiled faintly and said: "It seems that the patriarch has regretted the previous bet, so I want to ask the patriarch, how do you agree to the Lan Mansion moving out of the Lan clan?" ”
"At the beginning of the establishment of the clan, the ancestors passed down the rule that if the people surnamed Lan wanted to betray the clan and separate themselves, they had to donate to build a road and build a bridge to offset their sins." The patriarch said, "As long as you do this, you can immediately break away from the Lan clan." ”
After he said this, he was a little proud, and the other elders also nodded in agreement.
Lan Tian smiled and said: "It costs about 50,000 taels of silver to build a road, and it costs 50,000 taels of silver to build a bridge, does the patriarch want me to take out 100,000 taels of silver?" ”
One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is not difficult for Lan Fu to come up with one hundred thousand taels of silver for many years of business, but it is just that she should take out so much silver to this group of greedy white-eyed wolves, but there is no 'door'.
