There is a dragon in my fish pond

Chapter 265
It turned out that above the mahogany table and chair that the old man usually sat on, there was a large plaque hanging. According to Li Yafan's guess, the words "upright and bright" on it should be the handwriting of Emperor Kangxi that the old man imitated.

At first Li Yafan didn't take this matter to heart, but the more he looked back, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this big plaque.Then he called Bai Lu who was rummaging through the will at the side.

"Look at this!"

"Fair and fair, what's wrong?"

Bai Lu couldn't help asking.

"But don't you think there's something wrong with these four words?"

"The pen is strong, it is indeed my grandfather's handwriting."

After listening to Li Yafan's words, Bai Lu rubbed her eyes and looked at it seriously.

"Who told you this, let me ask you, among the secrets of the Qing palace, have you ever heard of the allusion of the storage box and the storage?"

Bai Lu shook her head, she was historically illiterate, where would she know about things that were not recorded in history books.

Li Yafan told this story to Bai Lu again, probably because Emperor Yongzheng was afraid that he would die suddenly, and several sons would unite to fight for the throne, which would cause internal strife in the Qing Dynasty, so he followed the advice of the ministers and sent himself His will was placed in the box in advance, and then hidden behind the plaque of "Upright and Bright".

It is to remind the next emperor not only to ascend to the coveted throne in the world, but also to work hard for the country and the people.

After the death of Emperor Yongzheng, the ministers and the crown prince will open the box together to witness the next emperor.

After hearing Li Yafan's words, Bai Lu couldn't help but nodded.

"You mean, my grandfather's will is probably hidden behind this."

"I just doubt!"

Xiao Hei said in his heart: "I doubt it, it's [-]% on this."

After all, Xiao Hei understood the four words the old man wanted to say. For Xiao Hei, Li Yafan still has this confidence.

It's just that if this will is really on it, it is enough to show that this old man has good intentions!

Li Yafan couldn't help feeling secretly, and soon together with Bai Lu, they moved the old man's mahogany table over, and then Bai Lu stood on it, lifted the plaque, and found an envelope behind the plaque.

Bai Lu pulled out the envelope, and Li Yafan couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, it was indeed inside, Bai Lu slowly opened the envelope with her trembling hands, and there was indeed a piece of paper inside.

Li Yafan also came to Bai Lu's side, looking at the will, the old man first said in the letter that he hoped that everyone in the family could inherit the words "upright and bright", so that they would have no disadvantages in interpersonal communication.

Afterwards, he said that there are no more than three generations of poverty and no more than three generations of wealth. The old man has already transferred that huge deposit to his granddaughter, Bai Lu's name in advance.

He also bluntly said that this sum of money must not fall into the hands of his sons, because it will soon become the capital of the sons in the mall. Only then can it be taken out to meet the urgent needs.

The place where the final payment was made, explained the whereabouts of this deposit, and it was stored in a bank. The bank card is now sandwiched in a book of "Zeng Guofan's Family Letter" on the bookshelf.

After reading this letter, Bai Lu was already crying, and got into Li Yafan's arms. Li Yafan patted Bai Lu's back lightly, hoping to give Bai Lu some comfort.

From the words "upright and bright" to "Zeng Guofan's Family Letter", it is enough to witness how wise and extraordinary this old man is.

The records in Zeng Guofan's family book are all about how to cultivate one's morality, how to be diligent and thrifty to manage the family, and expounded Zeng Guofan's philosophy of how to protect himself wisely in his later years. The old man put this bank card in this book, which is undoubtedly another warning to his family.

Li Yafan has no way of knowing the experience of the old man when he was young, but he was able to start from scratch and build up one of the four great families in Beijing today.

Even at the end of his life, the old man is still afraid. He is afraid that the life he created for the children is too comfortable. He is afraid of the curse that he will not be poor for three generations and rich for three generations.

Li Yafan couldn't help but feel sorry for himself, it's a pity that the old man has become so ill now, otherwise he would have been able to ask the old man for advice, or he could have listened to the old man's life experience, it must be more exciting than novels.Li Yafan couldn't help thinking.

The two were sad for a while, Bai Lu went to the side of the bookshelf, found the Zeng Guofan family letter and put it in his pocket, the two left the study room, locked the door as it was, and went downstairs.

"Oh! My little niece, I didn't mean you. It's not good to bring outsiders to our old man's study casually, right?"

Bai Lu looked back, and saw her third uncle Bai Bai standing at the bottom of the stairs, casting a playful look at the two of them.

"He is not an outsider, he is my boyfriend, and he will be a member of our Bai family soon!"

At first glance, Li Yafan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Eldest sister, tell me the opposite! Although your family is rich, I didn't promise to marry you!"

"To shut up!"

Bai Lu glared at Li Yafan, pulled him past Bai Bai, and went downstairs.

The two went to Li Yafan's room together and opened the book, but after flipping through it, they still didn't see any other objects in the pages.

"Did we all get it wrong?"

"cannot!"

Li Yafan shook the "Zeng Guofan Family Letter" back and forth, but there was still nothing, but the careful Li Yafan still found a line of inconspicuous small characters on the last night of the book.

Li Yafan couldn't help being happy when he saw that line of small characters, which was written by Bai Lu's grandfather. He wanted the person who got the book to recite the book from beginning to end, and then write an article, no less than one After reading the [-] words, I handed it over to a lawyer named Wang Cheng, and attached the lawyer's phone number at the bottom.

"Your grandfather is really caring!"

Li Yafan remembered the fear of being dominated by his composition teacher when he was in junior high school and high school.

"It's a pity that my third uncle will never understand this truth."

"I'm afraid your third uncle can't even read half a word!"

Li Yafan couldn't help laughing.

"It's not too late, let's start now!"

Bai Lu picked up the book, wrote down the phone number, tore off the last page, went to the bathroom, and flushed that piece of paper down the toilet.

Li Yafan couldn't help but secretly praised Bai Lu for her decisiveness.
