When Lu Quan came out, the underwear behind his spine was wet with sweat again.

He has lived for more than 30 years in his life, and the biggest disaster is the flood, leaving only him, his wife and children in the family.

Then this year, he picked up Lu Yangge and came back.

The ups and downs of most of the past six months, he thought, he probably won't forget until he dies.

He expected that if he bought Dayun Mountain, the clan would not refuse, but it was a broken mountain, and he couldn't produce grain or open a mine.

But he didn't expect that things would go smoothly beyond his expectations.

Lu Quan found Lu Yuanping and first mentioned that he wanted to move to Lujiazhuang, Dongyang County to buy land and build a house, but sure enough, Lu Yuanping was unwilling.

Lujiazhuang is close to Dongyang County, and the descendants of the clan are prosperous, so there are fewer fields and even fewer homesteads.

If Lu Quan went down to a side branch in Hexi and could go to Lujiazhuang to buy a piece of land to build a house casually, then those people in the clan who lacked land to build houses would not have to find him, the patriarch, to make trouble and die.

The largest Zhuangzi in the clan is the Lu Jiazhuang next to the Lu family manor.

However, back then, when people mentioned Lujiazhuang, they all referred to the Lu family manor, but they ignored the real Lujiazhuang in the village behind the Lu family manor.

Of the 100 households in Lujiazhuang, only a dozen families do not have the surname Lu.

This Lujiazhuang, it is even more difficult for Lu Quan to enter.

However, Lu Yuanping saw that Lu Quan was a member of the Lu clan and gave him a suggestion.

Four or five miles away from Lujiazhuang, near the foot of Dayun Mountain, there is a Zhuangzi, called Jizhuang, there are only a dozen households in Jizhuang, and the Lu family accounts for five.

Lu Quan shook his head, he didn't go to Jizhuang.

Although Jizhuang also has the Lu family, Lu Quan also knows that it can hardly be regarded as a real Lu family, but the original homeless people went to Dongyang County, among which there was a family surnamed Lu, who received the favor of Lu Yuanshan's grandfather when he arrived here, and simply recognized the Lu family in Dongyang County as a clan.

Lu Yuanshan's grandfather arranged for this family to build a house not far from Lujiazhuang, and they left a few families with the same surname as the Lu family. This family gave birth to grandchildren here, and grandchildren gave birth to children, and slowly formed a small Zhuangzi, which is now Jizhuang.

Although Lu Quan is a side branch of the Lu family, he is still different from this half-way confession, and of course he is unwilling to let him live with this half-way confession.

Lu Yuanping asked: "Then what do you want, Lujiazhuang really can't build a house for you to settle down in the divided land." ”

Lu Quan rubbed his hands a little uneasily, squeaked and whined for a long time, and then asked cautiously: "Brother Yuanping, do you see if this Dayun Mountain can be sold to me, and then I will find someone on this mountain to see a place to build a house for my two sons, so it is not far from Lujiazhuang, isn't it?" ”

Today, the affairs of the clan are busy, and when Lu Quan found Lu Yuanping, Lu Yuanping was a little impatient.

Fortunately, he has always been benevolent and righteous, which is one of the reasons why he can be the patriarch. Lu Quan is a clansman from Hexi, if he treats him slowly, his face will be somewhat unreasonable.

It's just a few words, and Lu Yuanping can still draw it out at this time.

Lu Yuanping didn't expect that just these few words would make him speechless for a long time in shock.

Buying a hill?

Buying Dayun Mountain?

Just to move to Dongyang County, so that his son can enter the Lu family in the future and grow up with the children in the clan?

Lu Yuanping felt that this Lu Quan either burned a lot of money or had a bad brain.

If you have money, you can be an uncle wherever you buy a house and a shop, so why move to the clan and be controlled.

Today's Lu family is not the Lu family of the year.

At that time, the Lu clan had accumulated several generations, and had money, land and food in their hands, and even if the clansmen who defected to the clan could not be blessed by the clan and promoted to become rich, at least they could protect their families from starving to death.

Now that he is the patriarch, his life is getting harder and harder. Without the blessing of the descendants, many things in the clan are difficult to be satisfied. After Lu Yuanshan's death, there were only two or three hundred acres of sacrificial land in the clan, and most of them were dry land, and there were less than 100 acres of fertile land that could grow rice and wheat.

He, Lu Yuanping, is the patriarch of the Lu family, and he has no gold and silver mountains to supplement the clansmen at any time, so naturally he does not have the prestige of Lu Yuanshan.

This time, the clan rebuilt the ancestral hall in the garden of Lu Yuanshan's house, and he took the lead in donating twenty taels of silver, and some clansmen said that he, the patriarch, did not have Lu Yuanshan to care for the clansmen, and only donated twenty taels of silver to rebuild the ancestral hall.

Comparing him with Lu Yuanshan, this is the most unacceptable place for Lu Yuanping.

When he came out of his mother's womb, he was destined to never be able to compare to Lu Yuanshan no matter how powerful he was, what could he do?

He was distressed when he took twenty taels, and said that Lu Yuanshan didn't need his clansmen to pay at all, what did he compare with Lu Yuanshan, even if his whole family cut meat and sold blood to knock bone marrow, he couldn't raise so much silver.

Fortunately, most of the clansmen are still reasonable, and they also know that he Lu Yuanping has no money, only the land left by his great-grandfather, and now it is divided into his hands, which is only twenty or thirty acres.

He can take out twenty taels of silver, which is already considered to be benevolent and righteous.

Unexpectedly, now, just an ordinary clansman from Xiahexi wearing coarse linen clothes, would dare to say in front of him that he wanted to buy a mountain.

"Are you sure you're talking about buying mountains?"

Seeing Lu Quan nodding, Lu Yuanping couldn't wait to spread his hands to touch if this clansman named Lu Quan was confused, "What are you buying the mountain for?" Even the trees on that mountain are sparsely grown, and the mountains are full of stones, let alone farming."

Lu Quan smiled honestly: "How can you not even plant the land, forget it where there are stones, and where there are no stones, you can also open up the wasteland to grow peanuts and grow buds." ”

Lu Yuanping felt even more headache, and a fool would take hundreds of taels of silver to buy a mountain to grow peanuts and bud rice.

No, even a fool wouldn't do that.

Trying to calm his emotions, Lu Yuanping asked in a dumb voice, "How much silver have you prepared?" ”

Lu Quan, who was originally honest, immediately tightened his money bag: "No...... Didn't prepare much. ”

Looking at his defensive look, Lu Yuanping even had a faint pain in his teeth.

Lu Yuanping took a deep breath: "These two mountains, Dayun Mountain and Xiaoyun Mountain, are said to have been bought by Lu Yuanshan for four hundred taels of silver, and I have nothing to hide, and it has not been a few years, as long as I inquire, the clansmen will know." In fact, in my opinion, these two mountains together are not worth a hundred taels of silver. ”

That's why he really thinks so.

It cost a few hundred taels, just to stay here to grow barren grass, and only Lu Yuanshan, who has a lot of money and nowhere to spend, can do this.

Lu Quan nodded desperately: "One hundred taels of silver, you can buy seven or eight acres of good land." ”

Lu Yuanping was about to be angry with Lu Quan, and thought to himself, it turns out that you know, you are not stupid.

Lu Yuanping said earnestly: "If you really have silver, you can find some good land to buy, it is better than buying this barren mountain and growing grass." ”

Hearing this, Lu Quan immediately shook his head: "No, I'm going to buy a mountain and build a big yard for my eldest son." ”

This is what he promised Xiaosi, and he must do it for him.
