Liu Tian listened to Patriarch Liu's words for two quarters of an hour with a wide face, and finally couldn't help it.

He put the tea cup in his hand on the small table next to him with a 'bang', cleared his throat and said, "I understand what the patriarch said. I'll talk to my father. It's getting late now, and if you don't leave, you'll have to have a curfew. Patriarch, please. ”

Patriarch Liu looked at the sky, it was really.

Liu Tiankuo came back late today, and if he continued to talk for half a day, it was almost the time of curfew.

Therefore, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Liu Tiankuo politely sent him to the gate.

After watching Patriarch Liu's carriage drive away, Liu Tiankuo said to the porter with a cold face: "From today onwards, he is not allowed to come in." It only said that the master was not there. Remember, don't disturb your lady's purity. ”

Menzi saw Liu Tiankuo, who was as cold as frost, nodded busily, and secretly wrote down this matter.

Patriarch Liu went to Liufu in Beifang the next day, and only said that he would let Mrs. Liu and Master Liu San be at ease.

Old Lady Liu and the others thought that Liu Tiankuo was still subservient to the patriarch.

Also, it's the age of clans. Spare him, Liu Tiankuo is a marquis, so what? I don't have to listen to the clan yet.

Therefore, Mrs. Liu and the people in the third room were really proudly waiting to enter the Hou Mansion again.

But he said that it had only been two days since the Liu patriarch arrived at Liufu and said this, and he had not received a reply from Liu Tiankuo.

Patriarch Liu and Liufu had some things happening one after another.

Liu Fu and Patriarch Liu received suppliers from their own shops one after another, and they couldn't sell them for money without goods.

The shop is empty, and you have to pay people's monthly silver, and it's good that the time is short, but the time is long, and that's trouble.

This can be regarded as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle.

Liufu is okay, after all, Mrs. Liu worked hard to get a lot of property for her son.

And Patriarch Liu's house is not so comfortable. Not only did he have no business in his shop, but even the rest of the Liu clan also found his home.

Strictly speaking, in fact, the Liu clan used to live in the Chengenhou Mansion.

After all, Liu Cheng was only a weak scholar for many years, and after he became prime minister, the Liu family slowly produced some talented people and slowly entered the officialdom.

However, it is always impossible to fill the room of the Liu family.

At the beginning, many of Cheng Enhou's industries were taken care of by those in the Liu family who were not admitted to the imperial examination.

I don't dare to say how luxurious the people who take care of them are, but life is definitely better than ordinary people.

Now, the Liu patriarch is interfering in the affairs of the Liu family, so after Liu Tiankuo discussed with Liu Yunxuan, he simply came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary.

cleared the people of the Liu family directly from the property.

Originally, Liu Yunxuan planned to take the time to rectify Mrs. Liu and the third room, but it was because he resigned at that time, and later Liu Tiankuo's entry into the knighthood was too eye-catching, so it was delayed.

As a result, they began to behave as demons.

In this way, it is just completely rectified.

What's more, what is the use of a family that cannot assist but only interferes?

The one who can see clearly will naturally go to stand in line again. However, before standing in line, these inaction must also be punished.

Therefore, the people who were cleared out of the property of the Hou Mansion all found Patriarch Liu here.

Patriarch Liu was already anxious about the affairs of his shop, but now, he was scolded by the clansmen every day, and he had a headache.

Patriarch Liu then ran to the Marquis of Xingguo's mansion and wanted to ask to see Liu Tiankuo's father and son.

It's just that the door has been ordered by the master, so naturally he won't let him in to see him.

In the past few days, Patriarch Liu has lost several pounds.

Patriarch Liu was not happy, and Mrs. Liu was not so comfortable.

Although Master Liu San has a lot of shops, he himself works in the Ministry of Officials, so naturally he will not run it. Therefore, I found a steward to take care of it.

He was accustomed to eating, drinking, and merrymaking, so that the man who had the whiskers had the opportunity to flatter him and become the steward of the three-room shop.

After all, there was the name of the Chengenhou Mansion before, so even those who were in charge of things didn't dare to be too greedy.

Now, without the Chengenhou Mansion, Master Liu San is just a fifth-grade official, so he naturally magnifies his hands and feet and pulls hard at his own house.

Before the goods were sold, they were chased by the merchants who supplied the goods for the final payment, and the steward was greedy for money, so the shop naturally had a big deficit.

In desperation, Master Liu San sold several shops.

Mrs. Liu San saw that Master Liu San sold the shop to pay off the debts, for fear that all the sales would be gone, and there would be no share of her own son in the future, so she actually coaxed Master Liu San to give her the deeds of some shops. She sold it for money and gave it to her dowry.

In this way, the third room actually slowly declined.

Except for the third lord of Liu San's land and the rent of the grange, there is no other income.

The rent is only collected twice a year, and when the weather is bad, there is not much money.

Therefore, the amount of land that Mrs. Liu asked for was very small, and most of them asked for shops that made money quickly.

Now, in this situation, their lives are a little more difficult than when they were in the Chengenhou Mansion.

Life is already not easy, and the wife of the Liu patriarch came to make trouble in three days, saying that because of their reasons, now the clansmen are going to trouble them, let them compensate, and if they don't give it, they will make trouble. Therefore, it made Master Liu San even more anxious.

Just when Sanfang and the Liu patriarch's family were in a hurry, the people of the Liu clan who threw themselves into the Xingguo Marquis Mansion gradually increased.

Under the call, more and more people asked Patriarch Liu to give up the position of patriarch.

In the end, at the request of the clansmen, a young and strong clansman was re-elected as the patriarch.

And that clan naturally had to get the approval of the Marquis of Xingguo to become a god.

Therefore, the new official took office with three fires, and after the new patriarch took office, he began to rectify the clan affairs in a big way.

And the Liu clan is really refreshing.

Liu Tiankuo didn't pay much attention to it.

In his opinion, the clan may be a help, or it may be a hindrance.

His request was that the clan could not help him, but not to hold him back.

Otherwise, he wouldn't mind changing a few more patriarchs.

Now that the matter of the clan has been solved, the problem of the Liu family's three rooms is very simple.

Chengjue's eldest brother can take care of his brother, but I haven't heard that Chengjue's nephew has to take care of the uncle in the next room-------- not to mention, it is an uncle who doesn't have a good relationship.

Although the actions of Mrs. Liu and Sanfang were not sufficient evidence to send to the official, the confessions of those witnesses were not groundless.

Therefore, the new patriarch went to Liufu for a trip, and after a detailed discussion with the third master of the house, Liufu became safe and honest.

However, Liu Wenli, who caused Liu Tiankuo to be recognized, naturally became the place where he was wantonly scolded in the third room.

The noble brother who used to be gentle and elegant slowly fell silent, and he didn't dare to make the slightest move.

After all, when the opponent stands at the height of being looked up to, then his small actions have no meaning.
