The Plow

The Guan family was finally able to sit together, but under such circumstances.

Yue Dingtang was among them as half of himself and the main character who came from afar, and Ling Shu was a guest, so he also got a seat.

Grand Master Guan and Fourth Master Guan stood on the left and right respectively, with cold faces, neither paying attention to the other, and even occasionally bumping into each other's eyes, they hurriedly put them aside, for fear of tainting each other's bad luck.

Seats are limited, the Guan family is traditional, the female relatives were not able to come in, and the five brothers of the Guan family did not come together.

The first and fourth masters impressed Yue Dingtang so deeply that he could recognize them without introduction.

The second master is the second dialer.

Leaning on a cane, with a pipe in his mouth, and habitually squinting his eyes slightly, he first stood still at the door, looked around, and took in the panoramic view of everyone, and then walked slowly over.

"You are Dingtang, right?"

The second master's eyes fell on Yue Dingtang accurately, and he didn't even look at Ling Shu, as if he was very sure of his judgment.

Yue Dingtang stood up.

"Yes, second cousin, I'm Dingtang."

The second master: "Is there a sign?"

Yue Dingtang: "The name is Wude. The martial arts of martial arts are the virtues of virtue."

The second master thought for a while: "It's just a bit more murderous."

Yue Dingtang: "Wu De is the year name of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Presumably the elders mean that."

The second master clapped his hands and smiled: "So that's the case, I didn't expect this level."

Seeing that the two were talking happily, the Elder Master couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Glancing at Ling Shu's expression of idly looking around, he felt even more upset.

In his opinion, if Ling Shu hadn't just stirred up the flames, how could he be ridiculed by the fourth child.

Ling Shu noticed the Eldest Master's gaze, and smiled at him specially.

The old man thought to himself, this little white face looks so good-looking when he smiles, no wonder the fourth child can't wait to make plans for his own girl, but it's a pity that he likes her, but they don't necessarily like him. With Ling's appearance, she must be Qianjiao at home The youngest of all favorites, the fourth child's calculations this time may be in vain.

Thinking of it this way, the old man's mood improved a little.

The fifth master, Guan Shizhi, came after him.

This young man with a poetic and romantic name is indeed about the same age as Ling Shu and the others, but he is wearing a Chinese tunic suit and walks with high strides, which seems a bit out of place with his brothers.

"You are Dingtang, right?"

The fifth master stretched out his hand to Yue Dingtang, seeing that Yue Dingtang also responded quickly and shook his hand back, with a satisfied look on his face.

"I've heard my father talk about you a long time ago. He said that the three sons of the Yue family are all talented. When I saw you today, you really lived up to your reputation!"

No matter how young the cousin is, he is still a cousin. Judging from the age of the fifth master, this is obviously the beloved son of the old master in his later years. He is young and vigorous, and he has come back from the West. He is full of confidence and at the same time a little proud of the young The fault of complacency.

Yue Dingtangjue felt that he always said that Ling Shu was frizzy, but compared with this five-cousin uncle, Ling Shu showed his sense of proportion.

"Uncle Wu, I'm Dingtang, I'm glad to disturb you."

The fifth master looked around: "What about the nephews, why didn't you come?"

The second master waved his hand: "They are young. In such occasions, we elders can just call the shots. We will have dinner later and let them recognize our cousin who came from afar."

The fifth master suddenly said: "Second brother, before my father died, I called all of us over, saying that there are relics left for us, but we will wait for the Yue family to come and make them public. Now that everyone is here, everything is here. You can take the box out!"

Yue Dingtang looked at the second master.

When he received the letters and telegrams, he only mentioned the news of the death and funeral of the old man of the Guan family, and asked the Yue family to send someone to attend the funeral. He didn't mention anything about the so-called relics. , or left something for the Yue family?

The second master said to Yue Dingtang: "Yes, since the fifth one said it, I might as well tell you. Before the old man was alive, he divided the property of the Guan family into six shares, five of which were given to five of us brothers, and the other share was given to the old man. Tell us, it must be handed over to you. Because your mother was married back then, the Guan family did not prepare a dowry for some reason, and you should have heard about it."

Yue Dingtang nodded: "My mother occasionally mentioned that she was young and ignorant, which hurt the hearts of the elders."

The second master sighed and said: "Now that the time has passed and the situation has changed, I will stop talking about these past events. What the old man means, no matter what, your mother is surnamed Guan, and she is a member of the Guan family. This dowry was not given before, but it should be made up later. Even if your mother is gone, the Yue family has to take it on her behalf, now that you are willing to come over, we can explain something to the old man."

The Yue family does not lack any dowry, but it is related to the old man's will and mother, so Yue Dingtang will naturally not refuse.

The second master said to the fifth master again: "Old man, what are you in a hurry for? The third child has not arrived yet. Today, Tang Gang is scheduled to come. Let him meet all the elders and relatives first. We will have dinner together in the evening, and we will choose an auspicious time tomorrow. Everyone shouted together, the old man's things are now sealed and put in the warehouse. There are five locks on the warehouse, one for each room. The warehouse can only be unlocked when everyone is present. No one can be greedy. Don't worry. That's right."

The fifth master was not very happy: "Where is it that I am not happy, I just asked casually, in two months, I will go to the UK for further studies, who can afford to delay this time? If you want to ask every day, that is the eldest brother." !"

The old man jumped up against the case: "What are you talking about, is this your attitude towards elder brother!"

Seeing that there was going to be another quarrel, the second master was busy trying to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay, they are all my brothers, the fifth son, and your nephew is still here, you have to look like an elder! We have waited for so long, and Ding Tang came here from Shanghai all the way, within a day's time. Let him get acquainted first, walk around, what about the third child, why hasn't the third child come yet?"

While speaking, a member of the Guan family came to report.

"Second Master, Third Master said he didn't want to come over."

Master Guan Er's face suddenly turned half dark.

"What do you mean you don't want to come?"

The servant faltered: "The third master is busy, and he didn't even bother to talk to the villain. The villain told about the young master of the Yue family's visit. The third master was indifferent and just waved his hand. The villain had no choice but to come back."

"It's not good, it's too bad!"

Master Guan Er chanted a few words back and forth, but he just chanted a few words, neither asked his servants to force him over, nor did he say that he would call for him himself, he just smiled wryly at Yue Dingtang.

"Dingtang, your third cousin has a weird temper. He likes woodworking and carving on weekdays. He is probably rushing to make something he likes. Maybe it's a gift for you. How about this? I'll let someone first Take you to rest, let's have dinner together later, what do you think?"

The nephew who has never met before is here, and the elders don't say it, don't even say a word, what's more than a strange temper?

Yue Dingtang originally thought that the second master looked normal and reliable, but now it seems that he is just a fake lantern with limited authority.

He said: "The guest is up to the host, and it's all up to the second uncle to be the host."

The second master also seemed to feel a little embarrassed, wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and was concerned about the presence of others, but in the end he just coughed a few times.

"Master He, then you can take Dingtang and Mr. Ling there."

"Yes."

Ling Shu was in a good mood, he followed Mr. He and hummed a little song with interest.

It's just that when they came to the guest room in the backyard, even Ling Shu, who was doing nothing, almost dropped his jaw.

Master He showed embarrassment, and smiled wryly at Ling and Yue.
