The largest family in Wanlai Town is a compound of tens of thousands of families. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old rich man Wan Shichang is approaching the ancient night, he knows that the coming days are short, the destiny is coming, he has long ignored the family production and social exchanges, he has long been resting and recuperating, and he has been recuperating! The fourteen wives he married in his life have soaked in the pile of beauties every day, tasting tea, enjoying flowers, listening to operas, entertaining, and living a first-class fairy, with a slight cold, the family is busy from top to bottom.

The luxury of life is comparable to that of the current emperor, and it is more comfortable!

There are a total of eight small courtyards in the Wanjia compound, and the fourteen wives live in two courtyards in each courtyard, leaving one courtyard for the youngest son Wan Jinlong to live in!

Wan Jinlong is also an adult man in his thirties. But he was born like a scholar, weak and powerless, and he didn't go through the wind and rain, he wrote and calculated at home for a long time, and he didn't understand any external affairs, so he relied on his eldest brother Wan Jinbao to take care of it.

Since marrying two wives, the family's own territory has become more and more narrow, and the eldest brother has built a new four-courtyard mansion next door, married four wives, and moved out with a family of more than 20 people.

The economic artery of the family is all in his hands, and he is like a wage earner who is engaged in accounting, with no status as the owner at all, plus his wife's complaints, and his father's ignorance, which accumulates over time, and is also resentful.

complained that the eldest brother was too ambitious, and the huge wealth praised by his father's foundation was all swallowed by him alone, and he also pointed fingers at himself, yelling at him, without any flesh and blood; Complaining that the old man is eccentric, he doesn't interfere with what his eldest brother does, he has no position, and he doesn't look like an adult!

In the courtyard of the front hall, there are several tall apricot trees, when it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the trees are bare, there are not a few leaves, every day is a place of golden, copper plate like leaves, several old housekeepers are busy working for this leaves all day and night.

In the morning, the lazy autumn sun slowly sprinkled into the courtyard, through the bare trees, and slanted into the hall of the main lobby.

Wan Shichang, the old owner in the hall, was lazily sitting on a wide rocking chair in the middle, gently shaking back and forth, holding a thick black pipe in his hand, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, fluttering like a fairy!

On both sides of the hall, there are a few wooden Taishi chairs, and a high coffee table, looking at the carved patterns, it must be a rare thing left by the ancestors, which was cleaned up neatly and wiped clean by the housekeepers. On the coffee table, the white porcelain cup, the porcelain pot, reflecting the human figure; on the wall of the bamboo and wood structure of the four walls, the white paper is pasted, and the paintings of landscapes, birds and beasts are hung, the whole hall is simple and elegant, the style is exquisite, giving people a sense of rigor, regulation and elegance.

In addition to Wan Shichang, there was another person in the hall, and that was his second son, Wan Jinlong. Wan Jinlong is not as leisurely and calm as the old man, wearing a long robe printed with coins, walking around the hall with his hands behind his back, a Chinese face, a scorched face, and a heavy heart!

"Yesterday, the eldest brother took the last amount of land rent! This year, he took all of the more than 10,000 mu of land rent from our family -- and now he looks at the shop tax on the street, and says that there is still half of him? I have to pay a large part of the remaining half, and finally a few more pieces of silver will come into my hands? Dad, do you think this is unfair?" Wan Jinlong was very excited.

"Didn't he just build a house, and his hands were tight? You can't see the form? What are you two brothers fighting about?" When the old man heard this, he was a little impatient.

"Daddy, it's not like I'm fighting with him! He used to be like this every year, what did I say? But now he's like that, he has his own big house, and he's moved out--and like this, he can take it whenever he wants, and he never consults with anyone? I also have a wife and children, and I'm your son--he's taken it all--" Wan Jinlong wanted to pac anxiously.

"You kid is still not ambitious? It's not enough to guard such a big house? Lao Tzu is at this age, how long can he live? Lao Tzu is dead, isn't this all yours? Now you are still fighting with your brother-?" Wan Shichang was a little angry when he heard this!

"Father, you are dead, that is a matter for the future! Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? If that day, eldest brother, he comes back to share a room with me, what will I do?"

"On the day I leave, I will confess to your brother, I think he dare-" The old man stopped smoking, stared at him, and asked:

"You kid early in the morning, noisy, noisy, noisy, noisy for Lao Tzu's life, isn't it?"

The two fathers and sons were entangled, only to see Wan Jinbao come back from morning practice, dressed in a short waist black suit, sweating profusely, full of energy, as soon as he entered the lobby, he shouted loudly: "Dad, the practice site is too small, the brothers are a little unable to move, we have to change to a larger field, convenient for horseback riding!"

As he spoke, he walked to the Taishi chair on the side, sat down, poured water from the teapot himself, poured a cup, drank it all, poured another cup, held it in his hand, and shouted to the back room:

"Lao Liu, pour tea, there is no tea!"

I only heard the housekeeper Lao Liu's loud reply from the back room, "Okay, this is coming!"

Wan Jinlong saw that the eldest brother was aggressive, and he was just begging the old man for justice?

"Erlong, what are you doing? What are you talking about?" Seeing that Wan Jinlong was a little trembling, Wan Jinbao asked loudly.

"He's trying to tell you to leave some money for him, don't take it all—" The old man said directly as he lay down in his chair.

"Take all the money, I? What money did I take away for you?" Wan Jinbao asked, staring at Wan Jinlong when he heard this.

"Tell me, he took all your money?" the old man also asked with help.

Wan Jinlong looked at this for a while, the father and son teamed up to attack him, and the old man didn't help him speak, he really regarded him as an outsider, and he was angry for a while, thinking that since you are all so polite, that family, I have nothing to be polite about, and mustered up the courage to ask Wan Jinbao loudly: "How much land rent have you taken this year?"

"This, this, this is what Dad agreed, what's wrong?" Wan Jinbao asked rhetorically.

"I didn't hear my father agree, you took it yourself. If you say you want to take it, if you don't give it, you will be murdered, our family will take the tens of thousands of taels of silver that 10,000 acres of land this year, and you will divide it several times, and all of it will be taken away!

"Don't you need to ask? Don't you see me repairing the house? Don't you need money?" Wan Jinbao disagreed.

"In the future, this old mansion will be yours, what are you not satisfied with?"

"In the future, I'll talk about it later, you have taken all the money now, and the whole family asks me for money, where can I get it?"

At this time, the housekeeper Lao Liu came in from the back room with a teapot to seep tea, and saw that the three people in the hall had serious faces and a tense atmosphere, and knew that they were quarreling, so he walked to Wan Jinbao with a smile on his face, and while seeping tea, he comforted:

"The young master is angry, the young master is angry! family, there is something to say, something to say, haha!"

After oozing the tea, he quietly retreated with interest.

"I said Erlong, is your kid evil in his brain today? Have you taken the wrong medicine? Now in the entire Wanshan County, more than 100,000 people, just look at our little land, all of them salivate, those people in the yamen, those big heads in the town, don't move, don't move, can we have today? Don't you need money to maintain these relationships? Dad, you didn't say anything? You kid is still infighting?" Wan Jinbao pointed at Wan Jinlong and said,

"That's what you can do? Those people who take the people, plant our land, and don't give money! There are quite a lot of reasons, do you think the money is easy to collect? You go and collect it? I usually settle the troubles outside, I didn't tell you, but you think everything is easy? Your brother and I, do nothing, take the family's money for nothing, and play everywhere?" After speaking, he picked up a bowl of tea and drank it all, his face full of anger.

"What about me? I just have nothing to play at home every day? I am busy from morning to night, keeping accounts and settling accounts for you, and you are so busy that you don't see it? Most of the annual income is in your hands, and what about me? The money left over for me is also the salary of the servants at home, and all kinds of living entertainment, all of which I take the money -- how much did it cost me to marry a wife? How much did it cost you to marry a wife? Have you thought about it? Dad, now that you are old, I know that you do a lot outside, but you also have to think about it for all of us? And not only did you not think about it, but you did as you pleased. ”

The more Wan Jinlong spoke, the more angry he became, as if he had been buried in his heart for a long, long time, and he wanted to spit it out, and while talking loudly, he rolled up his thick sleeves!

"Okay, you two guys, stop arguing!" Wan Shichang, who was lying in the rocking chair, saw the two brothers, not giving in to each other, the smell of gunpowder was strong, and he couldn't help but speak loudly,

"What are you doing? What do you want to do? Lao Tzu is not dead yet! My own family has done it? It's just playing the piano, you think you're only three or two years old? Bastard-!"

After the old man made a bastard, the hall was silent all of a sudden, and the two brothers looked at each other, and without saying anything more, he put his long pipe in his mouth and clicked twice, exhaled a wisp of light smoke, and continued in the smoke:

"Jinbao, your house is almost the same now, and you will have to learn to save in the future. Don't be full and don't know the hunger of the hungry, but also think about Erlong, what he said is also reasonable, and he has his hardships. I don't care what you do, as long as there is no major incident at home. Erlong also wants to open a point, and it's not easy for your brother to be outside. He is now acting outside instead of me, your two brothers must unite, one in the Lord, one outside the Lord, this family can last and prosper, both are not small, and the father is still using me to teach?"

After speaking, he looked at the two of them, and saw that Wan Jinlong was still a little unwilling, and said:

"That's it, Erlong, don't be bothered! Didn't you say that there are still people in the town whose protection money is confiscated? You go and try it, let your brother rest for a while? See if you can do it? If you can, then in the future, your two brothers, re-divide the labor and distribute it according to work, how about it?"

When Wan Jinlong heard that the old man was talking to the boss again, he changed his direction and said that he couldn't do it, he was not as powerful as the boss, except for the boss in the family, he was even more unconvinced!

I thought, I will collect it, the account book is in my hand, I know which one pays how much, how much I owe, how much I owe, what is the big deal with a few people? So, I squeezed my soft fist and said without showing weakness,

"Okay, take it, borrow a few people from me tomorrow!"

When Wan Shichang heard about the talent of the show for many years, he dared to take a knife and gun? It was a new thing, he smiled slightly on his face, and said to Wan Jinbao:

"Give him ten men tomorrow and tell him to collect them!

When Wan Jinbao heard this, he also smiled slightly and said:

"Since Daddy has spoken, let's give you ten people to collect it! Let you experience it! Save you from thinking that we have nothing to do!"

"Don't worry, if you can't recover the protection rent, I won't call Wan Jinlong!" Wan Jinlong seemed to be confident, patted his chest lightly and said.

"It's not called a dragon, what's it called? Then it's called a snake and a rat? It's better to call you a bastard!" Wan Shichang laughed.

"Okay, I'll talk about the ugly things first! If you can't take it back, then don't keep chattering at home, don't think we're playing outside all day long—"

Wan Jinbao looked at Wan Jinlong, swearing an oath, still a little uneasy, deliberately released a sentence, and then continued to drink tea with a calm face.

"Can't take it back, if you can't take it back, then talk about it! Everything has a process, there is a first come, first come, even if you can't get it back, it's normal, you will collect rent in your lifetime?" Wan Jinlong was not convinced at all.

"Okay, you have a kind, let's look at it! You can collect it now! I still have something to do, I'm too lazy to tremble with you-"

After Wan Jinbao finished speaking, he said goodbye to the old man, and then got up and went out angrily.

Wan Jinlong didn't squeak again, just looked at him fiercely, and watched him get up and leave the table and stride out of the hall.

"You also know your brother's temper, he has been taking care of you outside for so many years, and the outside affairs are clearer than you-your two brothers are fighting for these little things, and you will be disgraced to Lao Tzu! Outsiders just take this opportunity to kick you in the back and smoke your family's bottom, you kid should learn more-"

"This little inheritance that Lao Tzu has worked hard to praise in this life, don't be ruined in the hands of your kid!"

The old man saw that his eldest son was very unhappy and left, and he was not very relieved about Wan Jinlong, so he couldn't help but remind him while sitting aside.

After Wan Jinlong heard this, he didn't think so, and said in a loud voice: "I know Dad, don't worry, don't worry!"

――

Wan Jinbao wanted to go into the old house and ask the old man to give him some more money, and repair his own practice ground, widen and enlarge it, and twenty or thirty family members soaked in the yard all day long, making pits everywhere, horse manure and horse urine everywhere, and it was extremely uncomfortable to smell everywhere, and the practice ground was like a cow and horse shed.

But as soon as I entered the door, I saw that Wan Jinlong was a gourd that had been dull for a long time, and suddenly bloomed?

His brother suddenly made a difficulty, in order to avoid his peak, give the old man face, and prevent the brothers from infighting, so he had to swallow it when it first came to his mouth.

He said that he had something to do, but in fact he was fine, and if he didn't bring anyone to collect rent, he would only have to eat, drink and have fun. So I went home, took two or three special cronies with me, and rode straight to the old place - Wango Town, Wanhualou!

There are already a bunch of die-hard fans there, and loyal old followers are waiting.

It's no one else, it's naturally Zhang Wen, Li Wu, Zhao Si, and the other four local snakes from other towns. In the private room, except for Zhang Wen and Li Wu, who were intact and unscathed, the other four were holding their heads, rubbing their legs, rubbing their arms, scolding, and miserable.

The middle-aged man in the lead asked Zhang Wen more than once, why didn't that kid beat the three of you?

When Zhang Wensan saw the other party asking this question, as if he had deliberately framed them, he was not wronged, so he took the trouble to dig out his mind and repeated the explanation, saying that we had known each other since childhood, and he knew that we couldn't get him, so his men showed mercy, and we didn't have a knife in our hands, so we ran fast, so we were lucky to avoid it--and at the same time kept comforting:

"Big brother rest assured, here is the uncle, there is the master for us, that kid can't run, he can't eat and walk around, after all, this is still the uncle's territory -- that kid is just a newborn calf, I don't know how thick the sky is! The uncle will arrive soon, and I will ask the kid to repay it twice when I turn around! Rest assured, big brother!"

As he spoke, he heard Xiao Er outside greet him loudly, and when he heard it, he knew that Wan Jinbao had arrived.

"Yo, uncle, please be early today, the girls haven't gotten up yet! Haha, please inside, please inside-haha!"

"Where's my cousin?"

"The boss went out early in the morning, and said that he would be back in a while, and he would be back in a while!

"That's not necessary, don't bother him!

Wan Jinbao stood in the courtyard and was asking what about the little two? Before the second child could answer, Zhang Wen opened the door to welcome him out.

"Uncle has arrived, uncle has arrived, uncle here, here, please, we are here-"

Zhang Wenru was excited when he saw the savior!

Several other wounded men in the room also walked to the door with their shoulders on their shoulders and lined up to greet them.

When Wan Jinbao saw this formation, everyone was uneven, bent over and arched their backs, their heads were bleeding, as if they had just gotten off the line of fire, they were startled at first,

"Where is this? I haven't seen you for a few days, and it's like this?

Zhang Wen hurriedly stood up and explained,

"Oh, there's a little thing, a little thing-please come inside the house, uncle, let's talk about it when you come into the house!"

Wan Jinbao saw that everyone didn't speak, so Zhang Wen went into the room, sat down on a chair by the table, and pointed to Zhang Wendao:

"Why aren't you hurt? Just a few of them?"

Zhang Wen saw that he was looking at himself confused, and was about to explain. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged short man next to him sat down at the table with his head covered and spoke first:

"Hey, uncle, I don't know, we encountered something strange last night, I wanted to that boss, but I didn't want to be beaten like this by the other party-?"

After speaking, he sighed again, "The most infuriating thing is to be beaten by that kid - he is just a little man, about the same age as the three of them,"

He pointed at Zhang Wen, Li Wu,

"Hey, the power is incomparable, like a little demon king, the four of us can't beat him with a big sword?

"What? Little man? I can't beat one of the four? I still have a big knife, where is it? Who is it?"

When Wan Jinbao heard this, he couldn't believe his ears? I want to mingle in the whole big county, and I have never heard of a little man so powerful in thirty or forty years? Could it be that the lame man changed back then?

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly tensed, and I opened my eyes and asked everyone loudly.
