Chapter 176: Bullying, Relief
The Yu family of Qianjun, as an ancestor of a seven-grade Taoist official, now there is also a family of Taoists in the clan, although it is not very famous in the diving county now, but the area of the mansion is still quite extensive.
Relying on the legacy of their ancestors, the people in the Yu family who are still in the genealogy do not have to live under the low and dense eaves like the low-level poor people in the diving county, but can enjoy independent courtyards.
Even the fields, gardens, bamboo forests, nurseries and other arrangements in the Yu family's residence can also bring a lot of income to the Yu family every year.
But as Yu Lie saw when he stepped into the Yu family's station, the current Yu family has already been worse than a year for a year, and the appearance is barely bright, but the inside is no longer maintainable.
The fact that none of the lives of mortals of the Yu family, such as Yu Tian Erniang, has been settled, is proof.
You must know that although Yu Tian Erniang is just an ordinary mortal, the three children under her knees are different, in addition to Yu Lie, the other party actually has a child who was also admitted to the Taoist Tong, has a Taoist status, and is a Taoist.
Like the relatives of Taoist people such as Yu Tian Erniang, they can cultivate the descendants of the Yu family, at least the upper and lower generations can be steadily left in the family tree, and will not be eliminated, not to mention the wealth and wealth of the family, but as long as the Yu family still exists for a day, they must be indispensable to eat.
As a result, the current Yu family can't even guarantee the money and food of the relatives of the Taoist, whether it falls in the eyes of outsiders or in the eyes of the clansmen, it is a prelude to the collapse of a building and an imminent future.
At this time, in the main hall of the Yu family, nearly a hundred people were surrounded.
These people are all young and strong, only the people who sit on a few chairs, their faces are either middle-aged or old, and they are quite old at first glance.
The eyes of the young men were full of anger, as if they were about to breathe fire, but one by one they clenched their teeth and suppressed themselves, not daring to speak nonsense.
On the contrary, in the center of the main hall, there were several middle-aged or elderly people sitting cross-legged on the chairs, talking and laughing freely, and there was only one middle-aged man surrounded by young people, with a sad look in his eyebrows.
An old man in a yellow robe, with his eyebrows and eyes arrogant, took a sip of tea and spoke:
"Have you thought about it, Huang came here with sincerity today, as long as you agree, Huang will definitely give money and food."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the sad middle-aged man in a black robe next to him, and asked, "Patriarch Yu, dare to ask what you think, how do you think about it?" ”
The sad middle-aged man is the patriarch of the current generation of the Yu family.
This person has a square face, although his appearance is already middle-aged, and his eyes are vain, but at a glance, he knows that this person was also a handsome person. Even if a person is middle-aged, his skin is still crystal clear, and there is also a divine light circulating in his vain eyes, and anyone with insight will know that this person has true qi in his body and is also a Taoist.
And the yellow-robed Taoist who talked to him was exactly a Taoist disciple of the Huang family, but this person was not the patriarch of the Huang family, but just an old man of the Huang family.
The patriarch of the Yu family said with difficulty: "This, how is this good, even if my Yu family buys and sells land, it can't buy and sell clansmen!" ”
When the elder of the Huang family heard this, he sneered and said:
"Patriarch Yu laughed, how did you become a trader, your Yu family's population is registered on the genealogy, if we buy and sell, the county will also ask. Now it's just to see the current scene of your Yu family, for the sake of the in-laws of the two clans, please ask the Yu family to be willing to think quietly and go to live in my Huang family......
The young children saw the right eye, and the old man personally acted as a matchmaker to ensure their marriage. For those who live alone, the old man is also willing to pull the red line and renew a good relationship for them. ”
Although the patriarch of the Yu family was a Taoist, there were many young and strong people of the Yu family behind him, and there were also Taoist children of the Yu family who had obtained the Taoist certificate, but he listened to the words of the old man of the Huang family, his face turned red, and he didn't dare to stand up and slap the table.
The patriarch of the Yu family just gave his hand in embarrassment and said:
"Your Excellency can really say such humiliating words. If the old patriarch is still here, will Your Excellency dare to humiliate people like this? ”
Bang!
The patriarch of the Yu family did not slap the table, but the elder of the Huang family slapped it with his hand, stood up, he looked at the patriarch of the Yu family coldly, and said unceremoniously:
"If the old patriarch Yu is still here, for the sake of the relationship between the two clans, the old man will not dare to be so disrespectful. But you are a Taoist disciple who has entered the eighth grade by relying on the relics, how can the old man be afraid of it? ”
When the patriarch of the Yu family heard this, his face turned even redder, and he also stood up, but he still couldn't say anything cruel in his mouth.
After a stalemate for a while, the patriarch of the Yu family looked at the other party's cold gaze, and actually said:
"Look at what else is in the house that will make you look like an eye. There is a fancy that our two clans can sign a contract, as long as you truthfully pay the money and grain before the year, when you sell it in the next year, it must be your Huang family's priority. ”
But such a sentence even provoked the laughter of the old man of the Huang family:
"Patriarch Yu, can your ancestors still have good things left? Don't lie to the old man. You and I are in-laws, how can we not know what the situation of the Yu family is.
In order to let your son practice well in Qianzhou Dao City, the Lingmu Nursery, Yunling Fish Pond, etc. in your clan have been mortgaged to my Huang family and the rest of the family early, and now what else is left? ”
As he spoke, the old man of the Huang family's complexion softened again, and said softly:
"However, Patriarch Yu is also a bit far-sighted, so hard-working, he really brought out the noble son, and he became a Taoist disciple in three years, and he can meet the admission standards of the Dao Palace, not from the county city, but from the state city."
This person sighed lightly: "The state city is expensive, and it is not easy to live, but it is also a high-class place to learn the Tao. After hearing that your son had become a Taoist, he vowed to stay in the state city, and took it as his responsibility to enter the Taoist palace to become a Taoist, and refused to return to this diving county.
Sure enough, it's a young man with big ambitions!
It's just that in this way, when the Yu family has no successor, when the Yu patriarch is also exhausted, or when the noble son goes to the state city to enjoy happiness, won't this huge Yu family be removed? ”
The words of the elder of the Huang family became more and more seductive, revealing concern: "Now the Yu family is moving into my Huang family's mansion, just for the sake of your clan's bloodline." If it weren't for the fact that you and I have been intermarrying for a long time, and there are still your children in the clan as lobbyists, how could my clan be like this? ”
At this moment, a tranquil female Taoist also came out, she knelt on the ground, arched her hand towards the head of the Yu family, and said with a cry:
"Patriarch, what Elder Huang said is true, my Yu family has fallen into such a situation. Why don't you let my people go, it is an excellent choice to teach a husband and children in the Huang family like a little girl. Could it be that you really think that the big guys in the clan are all resistant to this? ”
When the patriarch of the Yu family heard this, his eyes widened, he looked at the female Dao who spoke, recognized the other party, and said, "You are the daughter of Yu Tian Erniang, the second in line, Yu Tian Second Sister?" ”
The woman who knelt down and spoke nodded with a sobbing voice.
The head of the Yu family saw that he was the one who married into the Huang family, and he was talking to the Huang family, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Especially when he looked around, he found that as the girl said, among the indignant young men of the Yu family, there were actually a lot of people with dark faces, and they didn't seem to be resistant to going to the Huang family to live, and a few people even looked a little looking forward to it.
Hesitating, the head of the Yu family muttered: "It's about to be the New Year, if there is no money and food, the big guys in the clan will be really difficult to endure......"
Everyone looked at the Yu family patriarch and seemed to be about to loosen his mouth.
But suddenly, another person walked out of the crowd of the Yu family and snorted at the woman who was kneeling on the ground: "Second sister, you are so shameless!" ”
This person has a square face and an honest appearance, which makes people know at a glance that he is a good worker, but he is not wearing a Taoist skin, he is not a Taoist child, just an ordinary man, at most he knows a few martial arts, and his status is far inferior to that of a Taoist.
The pretty face of the kneeling female road was snorted with a big mouthful of salivation, and her complexion changed suddenly.
But as soon as the woman raised her head, her face changed, and finally she just said with a smile:
"Big brother."
The Fang Zheng man shouted loudly: "You still recognize my big brother? Do you know that the Huang family is going to chew up my Yu family, the family foundation has been hollowed out, and now it has hit the head of our family, do you still remember your surname Yu! ”
The female Dao stiffened her face and pretended to speak calmly:
"The eldest brother laughed, and the younger sister always remembered that I was doing this for everyone's good.
What's wrong with joining the Huang family? It seems that the little sister has been married for only six or seven years, and now she is already a high-ranking Taoist. If it is accumulated for another ten or eight years, with the help of the Huang family, maybe the little sister can become a Taoist. When the time comes, there will be a little sister here, and the Huang family will only treat our bloodline more kindly. ”
She spoke, looked at the square man with a chuckle, and asked: "If I don't enter the Huang family, how can I do it in the future, ask for hardships and harm future generations?" ”
Hearing the female quibble, the founder man laughed angrily:
"Huh! Good one for everyone's good. In this case, let's not talk about it, do you know what the result will be if our aunt enters the Huang family? ”
He pointed to the forehead of the female Dao and said loudly: "So-and-so has inquired clearly, our mother gave birth to me, who is not a weapon, and you, who is a machine, and also raised a third brother, a child with two doors, which is a sought-after commodity in the Huang family."
Even if you are a lot older, there are people who want to take our mother and have children. Even if she can't give birth, even if she goes to be a mother-in-law, it is excellent to raise the next generation of his Huang family. ”
The Fang Zheng man drank in disgust: "Do you still think that our mother is a mother?!" ”
This voice was very loud, which made many people in the main hall look disgusted with the female way. Even a few people from the Huang family squinted their eyes slightly and did not stand up to speak.
The Huang family is also happy to see the female Dao like this, it seems that in this way, the female Dao will undoubtedly be more attached to their Huang family, regardless of their mother's family.
When the patriarch of the Yu family heard the reprimand in the hall, he sighed for a long time: "Evil, evil!" ”
He muttered, "If there were capable people in my remaining family, I wouldn't have fallen to such a state......
After the words of the Yu family patriarch were finished, a light footstep suddenly sounded at the door, and a sneer came:
"Why, the huge Yu family, there is really no one who is capable, and he has been bullied to such an extent?"
This voice, louder than the angry shout of the Fang Zheng man just now, immediately attracted everyone's attention, and followed the sound to look over.
I saw a young Taoist walking from outside the hall, and he was still holding an old woman in his hand.
Everyone stared at the young Taoist, and found that they didn't recognize the appearance of the Taoist, but the square man who spoke just now, and the female Dao who was kneeling on the ground, felt that the person who came was a little familiar, and felt that the other party's facial features were familiar.
But the people who came walked in the wind, looked dignified, and were full of Taoism, so that the founder man and the female Tao on the ground did not dare to squeak, for fear of admitting their mistake.
But when they looked at the old woman who was supported by Yu Lie, both of them looked stunned and blurted out:
"Mother." "Auntie! ”
The people who walked in from outside the hall were Yu Lie and Yu Tian.
In fact, they didn't just arrive, but they were already standing outside the main hall early in the morning, listening.
It's just that the population in the hall is large, the sound of conversation and exchange, and even the sound of scolding is very large, plus Yu Lie used his own sleepy insects to take the initiative to restrain the breath on his body, so no one noticed that there were people standing outside the main hall.
Recognized his own wife, Fang Zheng and Yu Tian's second sister looked at Yu Lie again, their faces were stunned and wonderful.
"Is that you, third brother?"
"Third Brother Yu?"
In addition to the two people who had been with Yu Lie day and night, there were also some clansmen in the hall who had played with Yu Lie since childhood, or elders who watched him grow up, and they also recognized Yu Lie based on the reactions of Yu Tian and her two children.
A dripping sound suddenly sounded in the main hall:
"Third Brother Yu is so old!"
And Yu Lie looked at the reaction of everyone in the hall, he calmly made a joke and shouted: "Poor Dao, I have seen you!" ”
At the same time as he was correcting, Yu Tian, who was being supported by him with his other hand, burst into a different kind of divine light in his pale eyes.
Because he heard the conversation of a son and a daughter in the hall just now, Yu Tian's face was filled with a sense of sadness, and he was instantly suppressed by surprise.

She clutched Yu Lie's sleeve robe tightly, and tried to open her eyes wide, trying to see the slender Taoist standing beside her clearly, but her eyes were full of mold.
Yu Tian muttered: "What should have been thought of a long time ago, what should have been thought of a long time ago......"
Her face was full of surprise and relief, mixed with self-blame, and mixed feelings.
Suddenly, Yu Tian's face was stunned again, and he hurriedly pulled Yu Lie, wanting to pull him out of the main hall, and said urgently:
"You admit that you are wrong, this Taoist is not the third brother. The third brother is in the middle school of Heishui Town, and he is very self-conscious.
Don't let the big guy recognize the wrong person because of his wife and get into trouble for this Taoist chief. ”
Yu Lie was pulled by Yu Tian's family, and when he heard the other party's first words, his eyebrows raised slightly. But when he heard the words behind the other party, his eyes, which were originally light and pleasant, suddenly became extremely complicated.
Yu Lie opened his teeth, his mouth squirmed, and he took the initiative to shout:
"II...... Mother, it's me. ”
"Eh,"
