In the compound, except for a few descendants of the Dongfang family, the remaining more than 100 collateral members are all dry thunder and no rain.

The whole compound was filled with piercing sobs, but there were no tears on everyone's faces.

On the other hand, Yuan Shulang was still asleep, but Hua Wenxiang felt that it was better to wake him up, after all, there was an accident at his apprentice's home in the east and northwest, and it was necessary for him, the master, to visit him.

Hua Wenxiang woke up Yuan Shulang, who was sleeping like a dead pig, who had slept for a day and a night, and it stands to reason that he had almost slept enough.

After the sloppy man woke up, he heard that the old man of the Dongfang family had died, and he immediately thought that his apprentice must be very sad.

In Ping (rì), Dongfang Northwest often recited with him about Dongfang Yunbai (qíng), and in Yuan Shulang's impression, the relationship between this grandson and grandson was very good.

Before, it took 7749 days to make iron, and 10 days to make iron, which is 59 days, two months, and Hua Wenxiang is now very familiar with the East and Northwest, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a good friend.

Therefore, everyone must go to Dongfang Mansion to pay their respects.

Long Weiguo is a dignified general, and there are few people in the world who are worthy of his funeral after death, but the middle-aged man thinks that this young man in the east and northwest is very good, so he also pulls down the (shēn) section and goes to the Dongfang Mansion with everyone.

The group arrived at Dongfang Mansion and bowed three times to the coffin of Dongfang Yunbai.

Dongfang and Northwest were very moved, and hurriedly greeted a few people.

Yuan Shulang looked at Dongfang and Northwest whose eyes were crying and swollen, and felt distressed, "Northwest, don't be too sad, (shēn) body is important." ”

Dongfang and Northwest nodded, "Got it, Master." ”

Not far away, Dongfang Yue had some impressions of Hua Wenxiang and a few people, two months ago, the two sides met in the restaurant, and Dongfang Yue also invited Hua Wenxiang and them to dinner.

Dongfang Gu Huai only felt that the tall man was a little extraordinary, but he couldn't guess who the other party was (shēn).

After a brief chat with Dongfang and Northwest, Hua Wenxiang and the others said goodbye and left, after all, they are outsiders, and it is not good to bother here.

Yuan Shulang told the beautiful boy, saying that when these times (rì) are these, take a rest first, and then come to him to learn how to strike iron later.

Dongfang and Northwest agreed, sent everyone away, and then returned to the coffin to keep a vigil.

Dongfang Gu Huai asked, "Northwest, who is that tall man?" ”

Dongfang and Northwest had an agreement with Long Weiguo before, and the former could not expose the latter's (shēn) share, so he lied: "It's a monk, and you almost have to have a battle blue realm." ”

He tried to tell as many truths as he could.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Zhanlan Realm is an immortal on the mountain, and it is an existence that can open a sect, so it is natural to say that there is such an extraordinary temperament, as for not saying that Long Weiguo is Danqing Realm, it is really that this kind of existence is too noble, and the beautiful young man is afraid that after he speaks, his third uncle will not be convinced.

Dongfang Gu Huai saw that his nephew was so sincere, so he believed this statement.

The woman, Liu Hao, was secretly happy in her heart, the East and the Northwest could make such excellent friends, and she was proud of being a mother.

Dongfang Yue boasted: "The northwest is really powerful, and he can make friends with a monk of such a high realm, but who is that Hanako? Why can he blend in with that group of people." ”

Dongfang Northwest was a little displeased when he heard the word Hanako, but since it came out of the mouth of the eldest brother who took care of him more in Ping (rì), the beautiful young man didn't care, and said sincerely: "It's Yuan Shulang, the magic craftsman who made the robe for his grandfather that day." ”

Dongfang Yue was puzzled: "This person is still staying in Beichong City?"

As far as he knew, Yuan Shulang had been famous for some reason since he fought many years ago, and he owed people money everywhere, so that this former (rì) craftsman slowly disappeared into people's lives with a bad name, and there is even a theory that this person has already died.

Today (rì) Yuan Shulang appeared as a beggar, which really shocked this son.

In fact, he didn't know that Dongfang and Northwest had to learn to strike iron with this beggar, otherwise he would only be more surprised.

Only the dead Dongfang Yunbai and the woman Liu Hao knew about it.

Dongfang Northwest snorted, "Master Yuan has been staying in Beichongcheng, but he hasn't been striking iron for many years. ”

The beautiful boy paused for a moment, and then said, "But soon I will pick up my old business again and open a blacksmith shop." ”

Dongfang Yue had no reason to care about this matter at all, so he didn't ask any more.

On the contrary, Liu Hao on the side had been looking at the sloppy man since just now, and he always felt that this person was familiar, and it was not until Dongfang and Northwest said Yuan Shulang's (shēn) that the woman suddenly realized.

When Yuan Shulang made a robe for Dongfang Yunbai, the woman happened to meet Yuan Shulang a few times.

This former (rì) craftsman felt quite good about the woman, and Dongfang Yunbai had mentioned Yuan Shulang to her before his death, saying that it would be a good thing if this person could be the master of the East and Northwest.

The woman knew that every rì in the east and northwest went to find Yuan Shulang, but because she couldn't go out of the house at will, she never had the opportunity to meet the other party, until now (rì) saw each other, so that the woman couldn't help but sigh, she didn't expect that the garden craftsman with infinite scenery would fall to this point.

Dongfang Gu Huai sighed, he also had a few encounters with Yuan Shulang more than ten years ago, but now in a blink of an eye, it is no longer a matter of people, the other party has become a beggar, and his old man has also driven west.

......

......

Dongfang Yunbai's funeral was originally planned to be held for three (rì), Dongfang Guhuai saw that Dongfang Tan Yi had not returned, so he said wait for him, the other party is also the eldest son, how can he kowtow in front of the coffin and burn some paper to show filial piety.

It's just that when the funeral was postponed to the fifth (rì), Dongfang Tan Yi wrote a letter saying that it would take a while to come back, and Dongfang Guhuai couldn't wait, so he could only let the old man go to the ground first.

The coffin was buried in the soil, and the Dongfang family was completely left without a homeowner.

Some of the "sensible people" in the clan showed their ugly faces one after another, and they couldn't wait for a day, and as soon as they returned to Dongfang Mansion, they showed their moths one after another.

The smell of the compound without coffins suddenly changed, as if the deafening cry suddenly changed to a noisy sound.

"Gu Huai, Tan Yi is not here now, you can tell me what you think. ”

"As soon as Brother Yunbai dies, there will be no head of the family in the clan, should we hurry up and elect the next head of the family?" I have a note, in this way, let's vote, this is the fairest, what do you think, Gu Huaixian's nephew?"

"If you really can't do it, let's split the family, as soon as the old man Yunbai dies, no one will be able to be the head of the family, even if he does, few people will be convinced, it is better to divide our big family business, so that everyone can eat some sweetness." Although it is a family separation, we still have to move around more, after all, we have the same blood in our bones. ”

"Brother Gu Huai, has Uncle Yun Bai made a will? If not, I also think it is best to divide the family, I personally think that neither you nor Brother Tan Yi have the strength to serve as the head of the family, I don't mean anything else when I say this, don't be angry." ”

......

Life in the compound is noisy.

Dongfang Gu Huai faced everyone, and his face (yīn) was heavy.

Behind him (shēn) stood a group of descendants from the east and northwest, as well as more than a dozen subordinates.

Dongfang Yue's face turned pale, and he shouted, "You guys give me a little quiet!"

Everyone was startled by the shouts of the noble prince, and they all stopped arguing.

Dongfang Yue walked to the side of the third uncle, Dongfang Gu Huai (shēn), and sneered: "You are really in a hurry, my grandfather has just entered the earth, and you are arguing here about dividing the family property and electing the patriarch, why, it was premeditated?

An old man's face was obviously displeased, "Little Yuezi, why do you speak so ugly as a junior? ”

Dongfang Yue was obviously a master who was not afraid of things, stared at the old man and frowned, "You are?"

His face was full of disdain, and he didn't pay attention to the old man in front of him at all.

The old man said angrily: "I am your thirteenth master!"

Dongfang Yue pretended to be a table (qíng) that suddenly realized, "Oh! Thirteen masters...... Sorry, don't recognize. ”

The old man's shēn trembled and shouted, "Bastard!"

Dongfang Yue's face turned cold, and he said fiercely: "Old thing, if you scold again, I will cut off your tongue, this is not the place for you to go wild." ”

The old man gasped for breath and said in a trembling voice to Dongfang Gu Huai: "You just watched the junior fight against me like this?"

The middle-aged man with slightly frosty temples didn't even look at the old man, and said loudly: "Everyone, you go back first, and when my eldest brother comes back, let's discuss again, as for whether to re-elect the head of the family or split the family, no matter who says it, everyone will die of this heart, I'm a little tired, so I won't entertain you." Butler, send-off!"

After speaking, the middle-aged man pulled Dongfang Yue, who was full of ugly faces, and then left with Dongfang and Northwest people.

The old man who was fighting with Dongfang Yue just now couldn't hold his face, and his old face was thrown in, and he fainted on the spot in anger.

Dongfang Gu Huai said to the two subordinates: "Carry it out and throw it outside the house." ”

The two servants carried the fainting old man away and threw him out of the house.

The housekeeper took seven or eight subordinates and forcibly sent off the guests.

More than 100 people muttered, scolded and grinned, unwilling to leave.

After that, Dongfang Gu Huai ordered more than a dozen subordinates to clean up the messy yard, and then let Dongfang Yue and the others leave, leaving only Dongfang and Northwest, saying that they had something to say to them alone.

Dongfang Yue had a slight doubt about this, but it was not easy to ask anything, and as for Liu Hao and other women, they had no right to speak.

The uncle and nephew went to a secluded study.

Dongfang Northwest looked worried and asked, "Will the third uncle offend those people by treating them like this?" I feel that they looked at the third uncle very badly before leaving. ”

Dongfang Gu Huai said lightly: "It's just a group of scum in the clan, and I'm not afraid of offending." ”

Dongfang Northwest asked, "What is the matter with the third uncle (qíng), who needs to talk to me alone?"

The beautiful boy was too sad in the past two days and cried a lot, and now his voice is still extremely hoarse.

Dongfang Guhuai took out a letter, and then handed it to Dongfang Northwest, "This is your grandfather's will, and only I know the existence of this letter at present." ”

The beautiful boy took the letter, then opened it, and looked at the dense text on it.

His watch (qíng) is exactly the same as that of the original Oriental Gu Huai, first puzzled, then embarrassed, and finally surprised.

Dongfang Gu Huai sighed, "Northwest, you must cooperate with me to perform this play." ”

Dongfang Northwest said in disbelief: "How can this be?"
