The Liu family library.

On one side is a vast sea of ​​books, and on the other side are ancestral tablets.

In other words, it is the tablet of the young masters of all generations.

It is so densely packed that at first glance it seems to be no smaller than the sea of ​​books on the other side.

The largest tablet among them is named Liu Yin.

In the Liu family, every young master who is selected is named Liu Ruyin. His real name will only be used after he becomes the young master and after his death.

She placed Zi Yue on her tablet and burned incense for her separately. She also burned incense for other sleeping ancestors and apologized to them one by one. Then Liu Ruyin rolled up her sleeves, stepped onto the altar and took down the tablet of the second ancestor.

After receiving the news that her brother was punished, Liu Man went to the library immediately.

Looking at Liu Ruyin, who was standing on the altar and holding the ancestral tablet in deep thought, his eyes twitched. He glanced outside and calmly raised his foot to close the door of the library.

Liu Ruyin glanced at her and asked, "Are you here to avenge your brother?"

"I'm not that bored." Liu Man walked over slowly, picked up the incense and candles beside her, lit them and offered sacrifices, "I just want to see if you are dying."

After a pause, he couldn't help but say: "You are using my brother to establish your authority. Aren't you going too far?"

Liu Ruyin reached out and touched the wound where the fair and slender hand had brushed past. The skin was smooth and there was no trace of injury. She frowned slightly and subconsciously concealed the situation:

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I still have a long time to live."

"I'll have someone prepare an apology, just as if it was you who took it out from me."

Liu Man raised her eyebrows, looked at Liu Ruyin, and said in a neutral tone: "I hope you can keep it up."

Liu Ruyin said calmly: "I'll borrow your good words."

The hand holding the tablet pressed somewhere unknown, and with a slight "click" sound, the tablet suddenly separated from the base, revealing a tiny crack.

The library was very quiet, and even the slightest sound was too obvious. Liu Man reacted quickly, stepped a few steps over the altar, and came to Liu Ruyin, grabbing her hand.

Liu Ruyin didn't dodge or evade. "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk about it later."

The two looked at each other, and the next second, they stepped on the altar and jumped down tacitly. Without saying a word, they walked towards the depths of the sea of ​​books again tacitly.

In the deepest part of the sea of ​​books, Liu Ruyin turned around and threw herself into the lazy sofa against the wall. The moment Liu Man sat down next to her, she pressed the small lamp fixed on the wall to illuminate the dark little space.

Liu Ruyin separated the surface of the card from the base, revealing the tablet inside, and casually said: "You are still so impatient."

Liu Man snorted coldly and did not refute. She just looked at the new tablet that appeared in her hand - the tablet of the god Qian Gong, whose name was Yue Le.

When the second ancestor of the Liu family died, she was a woman but was given the title of Duke, so naturally the word "Duke" was used in her title.

12345 (see below)

"Qian Yuele? What is...?" Liu Man looked at the name which was only one character different from the original name on the tablet, frowned and asked in confusion.

Liu Ruyin seemed to be thinking about something. She said uncertainly: "During this mission, I met a... person?"

"who?"

Liu Ruyin placed the tablet she had taken down in Liu Man's hand and continued to study whether there were any other mechanisms on the tablet. "It doesn't matter who it is. What's important is what she said..."

Liu Ruyin paused, her eyes fell on the word "Mr. Qian", "She said that the surname 'Liu' is not worthy of me."

Liu Man was stunned. Considering the hidden tablet now, it was hard for her not to think that the real surname of the Liu family was Qian.

Liu Ruyin had a puzzled expression. "I heard a few people in Xue Yan's office calling that person, 'Money'..."

Liu Man: "Her last name is Qian?"

Liu Ruyin: “Should?”

The two looked at each other, stood up at the same time, and walked towards the ancestral tablet.

Having worshipped before, the two of them stepped on the altar at the same time to turn over the tablets.

This is not the first time the two of them have done this. The division of labor is clear, you work on the left and I work on the right.

Liu Ruyin said as she searched: "I don't know where I pressed just now, you can feel it yourself."

Liu Man complained: "You are so useless!"

Having said that, the two men's hands were moving quickly. There was no air conditioning in the library, and although it was dark and cold, it didn't take long for the two men to break out in sweat.

"There is no problem with Liu Yin's ancestor's tablet, which means our ancestors really have the surname Liu."

"Only the tablets of the second to fifth generations of ancestors are abnormal, as they all have the surname Qian."

"Where did this surname Qian come from? The family records all say they were surnamed Liu, even in the historical records."

"I always feel like something is missing..."

"Wait... do you remember one of the family rules that says people from the Liu family cannot marry people from the Qian family?"

"Let me think about it. Is there another sentence behind it? If the Qian family does not offend the Liu family, we will not become enemies with the Qian family?"

Liu Ruyin and Liu Man looked at each other, then frowned, looking like they were racking their brains to think.

It’s really not that they have a bad memory. The Liu family has hundreds of family rules, some of which are long and boring. If it weren’t necessary to cram at the last minute, the younger generations of the Liu family would like to use the family rules to pad the corners of the table!

Liu Ruyan, who was deep in thought, heard a twitch in her ears and her expression changed. "Someone is coming!"

Liu Man put down the tablet in her hand and fell to the ground.

"Squeak--" The heavy wooden door was pushed open, making a teeth-grinding sound.

A woman in her fifties, with a dignified and majestic aura, stepped into the library and immediately saw two people sitting cross-legged on a cushion in front of the tablet of the Liu family's ancestors, reading a book.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was peaceful and they did not interfere with each other, she was a little surprised, and then nodded with satisfaction. As for Liu Ruyin and Liu Man, the two powerful family members, as long as they did not make trouble, she would be very satisfied.

"Mr. Wen."

Liu Ruyin and Liu Man turned their heads to look at the visitor, slowly rolled up the books in their hands, stood up, bent their arms, clenched their fists and nodded to the visitor.

"Yes." Elder Wen nodded and smiled slightly. His majesty was gone, and he looked more kind and gentle. "I was just worrying about whether you two would fight again. Seeing that the atmosphere between you two was peaceful, I felt relieved."

Liu Ruyin: "Old Wen is worried. I will take good care of the relationship among the clan members."

Ignorant? Just give him a beating.

Elder Wen looked at Liu Ruyin's stern eyes and shook his head helplessly, "You, you..."

She knew that Liu Ruyin didn't like to be told anything, so she just said, "Don't be so harsh, they are just a bunch of eccentric kids."

Liu Ruyin: "When I was my age, I was already able to handle all matters of the clan, big and small, but they still act like children, only knowing how to eat, drink and have fun all day long."

Elder Wen was slightly startled, and looking at Liu Ruyin with an expressionless face, he asked: "Then how do you think we should discipline these young people?"

There are quite a few people in the Liu family. Among Liu Ruyin's generation alone, there are nearly three hundred people who are fifteen years old or above. They are scattered all over the country and abroad, and they only gather in the Liu family's old house during the New Year holidays.

Liu Ruyin laughed, "They are all members of the Liu family, so I can't watch them waste their lives. I own a company with assets of over 100 million yuan, so I should give Liu Man some shares as an apology."

Old Man Wen glanced at Liu Man who had a stern face standing aside, and after a moment of thought he realized that this so-called apology gift was actually compensation to Liu Xuan who had been beaten. It was just that finding an excuse to compensate Liu Man was more tactful. Otherwise, where was the young master's dignity if he apologized after just beating someone up?

Liu Man: "..."

Liu Ruyin continued, "I thought about it and decided to let these people work in the company. If they do a good job, I will give the company to the children of the clan."

Mr. Wen and Liu Man: "..."

These three words "well done" are so spiritual.

To give or not to give, isn’t it just a matter of your words?

…………

1 (I didn’t write it wrong, it’s not “氏”, it’s “公”. The character “公” originally represented the first of the five ranks of nobility in ancient times, representing status and dignity, and the traditional concept of male superiority and female inferiority and the surname system. The use of “公” here also means that Qian Yuele is not a male subordinate under the ancient patriarchy and breaks the tradition. Don’t criticize me!)

2 (Don't say that the saying "male superiority and female inferiority" comes from "Xi Ci Shang Zhuan" actually represents that heaven is superior and earth is inferior. After all, "Liezi Tianrui" also writes about the difference between men and women, men are superior and women are inferior, so men are more precious. Even if the original intention of this passage is to express Rong Qiqi's optimistic attitude towards life and his open-minded attitude towards life and death, wealth and poverty, it also represents the current social situation, not that men should have self-respect and women should be humble. Dregs are dregs, don't wash them. Don't spray me!)

3 (Even saints cannot guarantee that they are selfless. No matter how nicely the superiors who benefit from it say, it is just talk. Deep down, they cannot empathize with the inferiors. If it really doesn't work, ask them to really put themselves in their shoes and think about it.)

4 (Don’t tell me to look at things from a philosophical perspective and cultural background. I don’t deny that there is great wisdom in it, but in my opinion, some things are also saying: Look at how I explain (jiǎo), you all have to listen to me.)

5 (I thought a lot when I wrote this. I was a little annoyed at first, but suddenly I remembered the sentence "The world is a huge makeshift team". Oh, what's the point of being angry? They don't pay me.)

Of course, everyone has their own opinions and understandings on everything. You can't just listen and read what I write. If you are interested, you can search it yourself. Of course, it is best to go to a larger library to find out. After all, not everything on the Internet is accurate.

But! You can’t spray me!

I am narrow-minded, no matter you are right or wrong, I will criticize you repeatedly in my writings!!! Hehehehe!

Also, I have written enough words, and I am writing here because the author has more to say than I can say.
