Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Four Great Families

"It's raining heavily."

Lu Daoren looked at the sky and said with emotion: "Just like before the earth dragon turns over, the birds and beasts are running, the guide is out of order, and I don't know how many people are happy and how many people are sad." ”

Where there is a celestial phenomenon, there must be an omen, this heavy rain is the biggest indication before the switch of Zhu Xianzhen, the rain falls on the world, each has its own fate.

However, the campaign of the watchman is the errand officer who publishes the official notice, wandering the streets and alleys to announce the news.

The deep-rooted families in Fulu Lane have already been prepared, and after getting the publicity of the watchman, they immediately prepared all kinds of pots and pans to undertake this rain and dew, and each of them had the opportunity to be lucky.

In the Sun family's mansion, the white-haired and white-bearded old man Sun sat in the middle hall and gave orders: "In this heavy rain, only young children and men from the Sun family who have not reached the crown will be required to bear the rain and dew, and the rest of the people will wait with me, a bad old man who has half a foot in the coffin." ”

"Daddy!" The son of the grandson family, the contemporary head of the family, showed an incredible expression, and said in a lost voice: "There is no shortage of pots and pans at home. ”

"There is no father here, only the patriarch." Old Man Sun scolded: "What, you little rabbit cub wants to rebel? ”

The head of the Sun family suddenly turned off the fire, and said aggrievedly: "Patriarch...... In previous years, this was not the case. ”

"From this year's onwards, that's been the case." Old Man Sun said indifferently, but said in an inviolable tone: "If anyone doesn't listen, he will be expelled from the Sun family now, immediately, immediately, get out of Zhuxian Town." ”

In an instant, the hall of the Sun family was silent, although the old man was domineering, he had not said such a thing for decades, and this time it was for real.

"Patriarch ......" Suddenly a tall young man stood up and bowed his hands

"Second child, what's the matter with you?" Old Man Sun closed his eyes and recuperated, just opened one eye slightly, and said indifferently

"Is it okay, let the woman of the Sun family also go to fetch water." The second master of the Sun family knelt down with a thud, but his forehead was already drenched in cold sweat, and his fingers couldn't stop trembling.

"Second brother, you are so bold." Old Man Sun narrowed his eyes, he couldn't hear his joy or anger, but just calmly stated: "I can let the daughter of the Sun family go to fetch water, but, do you know the fate of violating the clan rules?" ”

The second master of the Sun family said in a low voice: "Sun Bin knows that if he is expelled from the Sun family, he will not be buried in the ancestral grave after death. ”

"Do you want to choose?" Old Man Sun asked without waiting for a trace of emotion, in the eyes of those who are familiar with him, this is already an extremely angry mentality, and there will be thunderous anger at any time.

"Patriarch!"

"Second brother, stop it!"

……

There was a sudden uproar in the lobby of Sun's house, some people sneered, some people watched, and some people dissuaded, but they couldn't change Sun Bin's mind.

I saw him kowtow, and everything was self-evident.

"Then let you." Old Man Sun waved his hand and said ruthlessly: "The female dependents went out to fetch water, and Sun Wu immediately expelled him from the Sun family, no matter whether he lived or died, he would never return to Zhuxian Town." ”

"Yes." Sun Bin bowed again, then got up, and walked outside without looking back.

"Second brother, kneel down!" The head of the Sun family finally couldn't sit still this time, even if it was to pretend to be a brother, he had to come out and say a few words.

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married." A trace of exhaustion appeared in Old Man Sun's eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "Let him go." ”

The head of the Sun family's heart trembled, and he inexplicably felt that this was not a simple family fight.

Jumping out of the female fish one by one, the sound of clanging sounded, and the watchman got a piece of silver, overjoyed, and ran towards the next Zhao family.

There are four major families in Fulu Lane, Zhao Qian and Sun Li.

Among them, the Zhao family is the strongest, and it is said that some clansmen have done the position of checking in front of the palace outside, and the official residence is from the three products.

This grade is not comparable to the prince and the prince, but the palace is inspected and the guards and generals are all commanded. In charge of the guards, the guards are closed, the guards are guarded, the team is supervised, and the chief judge is the secretary.

is also the so-called forbidden army, and the person in charge of the forbidden army must be the person who is in the emperor's heart.

How many palace coups have started from mastering the forbidden army, and the position of the leader of the forbidden army is very important, and it will not be changed for a first-class official.

The two stone lions in front of Zhao's house have an atmospheric appearance, carved and simple, the lion head ornament is fashionable, the neck hangs a bell, the muscles are developed, the momentum is majestic, the majesty is spread, the national fortune is entangled, and it can ward off evil spirits and receive blessings.

"Mother." Qin Shou, the watchman, touched his chin and said with a smile: "These two guys are more effective than the golden statues of those Taoist temples." ”

People ask God for protection, and God asks the court to canonize them.

Sacrifices that have not been canonized by the imperial court are obscenity, and sacrifices that are not made by them are called obscenity.

Obscenity is not blessed, but there is calamity.

There is also a saying that the god is canonized by the imperial court, and the official is also canonized by the imperial court.

Officials, big and small, can actually be regarded as gods and spirits, and what God can do, officials can do, and what God can't do, officials can also do.

In this case, why should officials worship God, big officials worship small gods, and luck is taken away by small gods, which is a kind of rectification.

This Zhao family's mansion, entangled by national fortunes, is a grand divine realm dojo in the eyes of countless ghosts and gods.

Qin Shou stretched out his rough fingers and knocked on the door of the dojo, and after a while, an old man walked out and said with a smile: "Thank you for the summons." ”

As he spoke, he took a piece of gold and handed it to Qin Shou's arms.

Qin Shou smiled, not polite, took it casually, and said with a compliment: "I think your Zhao family is going to send it." ”

This door-to-door interrogation is in itself a kind of please.

Just as someone is in the middle of the lift, the champion, the official to report the good news is coming, this is the happy event to come to the door, the host in order to please a good fortune.

According to different family backgrounds, ordinary people send some eggs and wine, and a few happy money.

For example, families such as Zhao Qian, Sun and Li are generous, and they are all given silver.

But, as it is today, it is never seen to give gold directly.

"Grandma Housekeeper said that it was the last time." The old man didn't know why, but he still said the master's explanation: "It is appropriate to give more." ”

"yes, for the last time." Qin Shou looked up at the foggy sky and said with a smile: "There will never be such a heavy rain in the future." ”

"Steward Zhao, let's go home, I still have to report the news."

"Let's go." Steward Zhao arched his hand, looked at Qin Shou's figure, and a trace of envy appeared in his eyes, it is a little bitter to fight people, but according to the ancient rules, there are many benefits that can be obtained.

For example, this kind of annunciation, which has been inherited for 5,000 years, has long been indifferent to the small family, but the deep-rooted family has always adhered to the rules handed down from the ancestors, and will give a few taels of silver to the watchman every time.

And those who are slowly declining don't know if it's because of decline and not following the rules, or because of not following the rules, and declining.

However, these are the things that concern his family.

Steward Zhao looked at the stone lion for a while, shook his head for a long time, and closed the door, these children of the family have no worries about food and clothing in the master's house, and they are closer to the master and more reused.

However, fate is also bound to the master's family, the prime minister's door is a seven-rank official, the master's family is prominent, and the power of the housekeeper is heavier.

is the son of heaven, the prime minister who manages the country for him, how can he not be a big housekeeper.

Qin Shou went to the Qian family again, but found that this family did not prepare pots and pans to undertake the rain, but instead gathered more than a dozen clansmen and were discussing the separation of the family.

When the watchman arrived, the Qian family was almost divided, and there were only a few people in the huge door, and when Qin Shou came to the door, the head of the family, Mr. Qian, with two old servants, opened the main door, but only took out three copper coins and sent things away.

"Money is something outside of the body."

Old Man Qian showed his leaky teeth and said with a smile: "The Qian family, they don't save money for their children and grandchildren, they only teach their children and grandchildren to be human beings." ”

Qin Shou nodded and looked at the two couplets on the gate of the Qian family.

It's not a congratulatory Spring Festival couplet, nor is it an auspicious word, but the two ancestral teachings of the Qian family.

Don't seek benefits in one body, and those who benefit in the world will seek it; The benefit is fixed for a while, and the benefit is even more for the eternal.

Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be princes.

After all, thieves will be judged by law, and if the princes are not judged by the law of the country, they will eventually be scolded by all generations, and history has been recorded.

The Qian family does not seek money for a lifetime, does not seek the position of princes, what they want is to seek the reputation of the world, and really rest with the country, let you change the dynasty, my Qian family will not fall, and the big waves will take place, after all, there will be a day of turn.

There is a reputation, no matter who is in power, after all, the money will be used.

This is the guarantee of credibility.

Qin Shouyuan walked away, and in the middle of the door of the Qian family, a boy with pink carving and jade carving walked out, and asked with a little puzzlement: "Grandpa, didn't you say that our Qian family wants to become a real family?" ”

"Why are you disbanding the family now and leaving no money?"

Old Man Qian touched the boy's head and smiled kindly: "Family, those flies and dogs are also worthy of being called a family." Its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden, which is really ridiculous. ”

The boy of the Qian family was not frightened in the slightest, but nodded in agreement and said: "Mr. Wang of the academy said that what rises depends on what you do, because of what you perish, you will prosper with this, and you will die with this, this is the reincarnation of heaven." ”

"Yes, you know this, you can be regarded as a real seed of reading."

Old Man Qian nodded with satisfaction and said: "Unlike your fourth uncle and fifth uncle, the book is read into the dog's belly, full of sage words, but he is not even a righteous gentleman. ”

"The family in their eyes is to inherit wealth and immortality forever."

"But, the cycle of heavenly dao, there is birth and death, where is there such a good thing."

"The family seems to be prominent for a while, but it is actually just a bloodsucking worm lying on the big tree of the dynasty, and when the dynasty falls, how good can the bloodsucking worms be."

"Everyone says that the family is a disaster, but in fact, the last thing I want the dynasty to fall is the big family, because the big family has already occupied the largest share, and I hope to keep it for a long time."

"Once the dynasty changes, the main family will be destroyed, and the family name will eventually be inherited, but it is just a branch lineage, the family style and ancestral training, and the heritage inheritance are all lost, what kind of family is this."

"It's just self-deception."

"If this is also a family, then find a random beggar on the street, who is also a child of a family, or a noble god."

"The ancestor of the human race, isn't it the two god emperors of Yan and Huang, everyone is a god descendant, how can there be any superiority or inferiority."

The boy of the Qian family thought thoughtfully: "So most families can only last one or two dynasties, and then they decline." ”

"Grandpa, is there any way to make the Qian family undefeated?"

Old Man Qian smiled, but his eyes flashed with the brilliance of wisdom, and he said slowly: "There is a skill, there is a law, and there is a way in the end." ”

"It is a cold family to establish a career by art, a family is to establish a career by law, and a saint is to establish a career by Taoism."

"In the final analysis, there are actually two serious families in Kyushu in the world, one for one hole."

"The reason for this is that Zhang Youdao and Kong Youru are not extinguished, which is the work of the three religions."

"As for the Shi family, it is not in the consideration of the family to take the precepts, and the only thing we can hope for is that there will be another saint in the world and establish a religion and become an ancestor."

"The hope of the Qian family is in the Fourth Sect."

Although the boy of the Qian family is young, he also understands the meaning of establishing a religion and calling his ancestors, and his little face suddenly turned pale and said: "The fourth great sect is about to appear!" Who is it? ”

"It's coming, it's coming." The old man of the Qian family had vicissitudes of life, looked into the distance and said: "Zhu Xianzhen no longer exists, and Mr. Wang, who is known as the integration of the three religions, is going to go out of the mountain, and the wind and rain are shaking, and the world is full of great contention." ”

The boy of the Qian family was dumbfounded, the three religions were one, Mr. Wang, just the Mr. Wang who shouted every day that he was clear and almost close to the Buddha.

"It's easy to break the mountain, but it's hard to break the heart." The old man of the Qian family said in a low voice: "The gentleman doesn't say anything, but the money is there, how can he not say anything." ”

"Not enough, not enough ......"

Qian Tongzi only felt a roar in his head, recalling Mr. Wang's words and deeds.

The Master is also a human being, and I am also a human being, and the saints can learn from it.

The people's daily use is the way.

This kind of remarks that put ordinary people and ordinary people together is not enough in the eyes of grandpa, so what is enough.

The former can also be explained by the equality of all living beings in Buddhism, if you take the last step, you don't even want the skin of Buddhism, you don't even want the last protective color, and you will eventually expose something.

The smart Qian boy only felt a naked chill surging up in his heart.

The Sun family, the Zhao family, the Qian family...... Qin Shou, the watchman, came to the last Li family.

Although the Li family is located in Fulu Lane, the courtyard is simple, as if a Taoist temple is dressed, even the miscellaneous servants are wearing Taoist clothes and scarves.

However, there is no one Dao crown, Lotus, Ruyi, and Fishtail Three Crowns, no matter which crown is something that ordinary Taoists can afford.

Including the current head of the Li family, he is wearing a mixed yuan scarf on his head and does not wear a Taoist crown.

Compared with the eccentricity of the first three, the Li family is indeed much more normal.

The head of the Li family looked at the gradually smaller raindrops and sighed with emotion: "The light rain in Tianjie is as moist as a crisp, and the grass is close but there is nothing." ”

"Uncle Li, so literary!"

Qin Shou gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's as wonderful as the woman in Fireworks Alley." ”

The corners of the Li family's mouth trembled, and he just pretended not to hear the vulgar words, turned around and waved his hand, so that the men, women and children in the mansion began to take on the light rain, even if it was a miscellaneous servant.

There was a kid who didn't grab the bowl, and even grabbed the dog bowl, and picked up the water with a smile.

"Each man has his own fate."

Qin Shou whispered, left Fulu Lane, and went to other places to report the news.

Some people, still remember the rules of the elderly, take out pots and pans to hold water, some people just forget, give Qin Shou two hanging money to send away, but do not go to hold water.

There are also some small families who don't believe these words, but their children are greedy to play and run out to play in the water.
