President's Legendary Master

"That's your business, but if you don't agree to build the ancestral hall, what should you do if the matter cannot be resolved?" The little celestial master really doesn't understand this kind of people who want money and life: No, I let that thing settle down here?"

"Eh hehe... Then what, look, what should we do?" Dong Chen smiled awkwardly: "I also want to minimize the loss of this matter."

As a businessman, of course you have to care about money.

Never lose money.

"Then you can figure it out." The little celestial master was speechless: "Forget it, I will talk to a few grandparents."

"Then you need an interpreter like me." Dong Chen said, "Otherwise, you don't understand what they are saying."

"Yeah, I'm on the territory of my own country, and I have to find a translator to speak." The little celestial master couldn't laugh or cry: "Then you come and translate for me, don't make a mistake in the translation, and, be bolder."

The timid probably won't be able to translate it if they are frightened.

"Don't worry, I'm here this time as an interpreter, and these two lawyers are also locals and can understand the dialect of their hometown." Dong Chen said: "The manager is also there, and General Manager Wu is even more present. "

"It seems that we have already prepared!" Dugu Haoyan smiled: "I have prepared my own translator."

"Isn't this just thinking about finishing the matter earlier and starting work earlier? This is a day's delay, and the money will be gone." Dong Chen also had a sad face: "Our general manager didn't sleep well last night, and drank two glasses in the morning. Coffee wakes you up."

"That's right, if you delay for one day, you will lose thousands of dollars." Dugu Haoyan is also a person in real estate. He knows that if the construction site is not started, the money for a day's delay is at least this amount. It is estimated that it will be higher in the south. Because labor is expensive here, if you don't start work, you have to support the workers, if you don't pay wages, the workers have to go to other places to work and make money.

Besides, not to mention the expensive labor now, the workers have learned to be smart. Some laborers, bricklayers, etc. are paid on the same day. If you don’t pay today’s wages today, people will not come tomorrow, so as not to have some blood-sucking bags Foreman, they took their wages and ran away. They worked for nothing.

We have suffered a lot, and everyone has learned to be smart.

This place does not pay wages, and other places pay wages, so they go to other places, so they don’t want to lose workers, so they can only pay money, but here they can’t start work, and the wages that are delayed every day are spent like water.

Can you not rush to get angry?

"Let's go." The little celestial master entered the construction site. Outside the gate, there were five old men and old ladies, two old men, and three old ladies.

It looks like an elderly person.

"This is Grandma Dong, my great-grandaunt." Dong Chen introduced the five old people: "This is Grandpa He, Grandma He, this is the old couple; this is Grandpa He Six, and this is Granny He Ba , This is a pair of brothers and sisters."

"Five people, four with what surname?" The little celestial master laughed: "It really is the He family village."

"This is the five oldest members of the He family. Granny He is an orphan who married in, so those who have no name or surname will take the surname of her husband's family." Dong Chen said: "Grandma He Ba is young. At that time, after getting married, in the year of the wedding, her husband suffered a tragic accident and died, and she had no children, and her husband's family didn't want to see her, so she returned to Hejia Village and lived on her family. Now she is 98 years old."

"So old?" The little heavenly master looked at them.

They also looked at the little celestial master.

After chattering the local dialect for a while, Dong Chen said with a smile: "They said, you don't look like a master for such a young boy!"

"The weight is small, it weighs a thousand catties, and the pepper is small, so it's hot." The little celestial master laughed playfully.

Dong Chen's chattering translation made the old people happy.

"Okay, you are a master, tell me, everyone is here." Dong Chen even wore the amulet given to him by the little celestial master.

"I want to ask, has anyone been dealt with in this river?" The little celestial master hit the nail on the head.

"Ah?" Dong Chen was surprised: "Have you dealt with someone? Who?"

"Are you a local?" Dugu Haoyan asked him.

"That's right, I went to elementary school and junior high school here, and then I went to the city when I was in high school, and then I went abroad to study in college." Dong Chen said, "My hometown is Dongjia Town downstream."

"And your great-grandmother married to Hejia Village." Dugu Haoyan added this sentence to him.

"Yes, not only my great-grandmother, but also the third aunt from my second grandfather's family, the third and fifth aunts from the sixth uncle's family, the eldest cousin, the fourth cousin, the fifth cousin, and the sixth cousin all married here." Dong Chenshu Pointing his finger, he said: "The older you are, the more people you are close to, and the more people from the same clan."

"Big family!" Dugu Haoyan was slightly envious.

Because although the Dugu family is also known as a "family", there are only more than 100 members.

People's formation, at least a few thousand people, plus their own family members, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people are easy.

"That's right, the two big families. In fact, there are quite a few big families gathered around here." Dong Chen said, "I haven't heard of any homicides happening here in Hejiawan? Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to build a holiday villa here! "

You know, the richer people are, the more they pay attention to feng shui. This place where people have died, especially where there have been murder cases, is a place of violent death. Who would choose this place to buy a villa.

To build high-end villa areas, river scenic areas, and health resorts, there must be an auspicious geomantic land.

Only the price can be sold, they have made a special investigation, this place has good feng shui, people live a long life, look at these five old people, they will be a hundred years old.

"I'm not talking about the period after the founding of the People's Republic of China. I'm talking about the time before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the period of the Republic of China." The little celestial master said: "Or earlier."

"Ah?" Dong Chen couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this: "Late Qing? Great Qing?"

"Maybe even earlier." The little celestial master said, "Ask, or, can I read their clan records?"

"Do you want to read "Clan Records"?" Dong Chen frowned: "This is not easy to handle. Generally, people who are not from the same clan will not show it to you..."

"Then I can't help it." The little celestial master said: "There should be records in the clan records. There must be some records in the clan. When will they come to settle here?"

"It's too early." Dong Chen said: "It is said that the villages here were all in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Some Han people with backbone did not want to work for the Manchus, so they moved here with their whole families. The sky is high, the emperor is far away, out of sight, out of mind. It has a history of 500 years."

"Then there should be a thick stack of "Clan Records." The little celestial master said, "Let me have a look, or they can say it themselves."

A few old people could understand a little Mandarin. They pulled Dong Chen over and chattered for a long time, and General Manager Wu's face became more and more ugly as he listened.

Dugu Haoyan whispered to the little celestial master: "It seems that this is what they are talking about. I guess there are some things that they didn't tell the truth. I don't know what they are talking about now, but look at what General Manager Wu said. You can tell from the complexion that this content is not very good."

"I want to read "Clan Chronicles". If they don't show it to me, there must be some shady content." The little celestial master whispered: "Besides, what I want to read is the records of their family's big and small affairs. It is impossible for a family to read it. There is no dirty history, they won't let outsiders see it, but I insist on it."

"You are afraid that they will lie." Dugu Haoyan guessed something.

"Yes, what they say and what is recorded in the "Clan Chronicle" must be consistent, otherwise I am afraid that they will conceal something, I will not know, and I will deceive myself, I am not stupid." The little celestial master is usually in a daze He lived a normal life, but in the professional field, he was astute as usual.

I don't know what was said over there, anyway, a few people chattered and ignored the little Tianshi and his pair, and instead they quarreled. The other two lawyers also looked at each other, and said a few words, a few people said A little more urgent.

In the end, a middle-aged man in cool clothes, who didn't know what to say, took out three thick books and came straight to the little celestial master: "Here you are, "Clan Records"!"

"So happy?" The little celestial master couldn't believe it: "You guys agreed?"

"I didn't say well. I don't speak Mandarin very well, but I can understand it. Here's it for you. You can read it." The middle-aged man spoke slowly, but he understood: "Anyway, take a good look at it." That's enough."

"Okay." The little celestial master took over the "Clan Chronicle".

"You can speak Mandarin?" Dugu Haoyan gave him a sharp look: "Village cadre?"

"No, I used to work for people outside, and I can speak a little bit, which is not up to standard." The middle-aged man was obviously not bored: "But I am the eldest son and grandson of the patriarch of the He clan, and I am the eldest son of the He clan. Some things are in my hands, if I tell you to show them, I will show you."

"You are generous." Dugu Haoyan raised his chin: "They don't seem very happy?"

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked again. Those old men and women were pointing at him and yelling at him in their native dialect.

Middle-aged men probably have a little power, but in the clan, talking is probably the most important thing, and they can deal with a few old men and women.

While they were swearing and arguing in dialect, the little heavenly master hurriedly found a place and opened "He Clan Chronicles".

This is the "He Clan Chronicle" within 300 years.

According to the rules of the He family, a "He Clan Chronicle" is recorded every 100 years.

It records the big and small things of the He clan, such as the birth of a child, the genealogy, entry into the ethnography, and examinations.

Getting married, marrying a wife, getting married, becoming a monk, all kinds of things must be recorded.

The little celestial master turned over very quickly, it can be said that ten lines at a glance, scanning very fast.

Dugu Haoyan was surprised: "You still have a photographic memory?"

The two have been together for more than a year, and they haven't found that the little lover has such a super skill?

"The above records are almost the same... the ancients, write concisely, a few words, two words, and it's over, unless... there are special things." The little celestial master stared intently: "I see! "

"Huh?" Dugu Haoyan took a look: "Traditional characters?"

"It's something from 300 years ago. Couldn't it be traditional characters? This ink, paper and inkstone are all exquisite. The book made of Xuan paper and the characters written in Hui ink can not be damaged for hundreds of years." The little celestial master looked at it. Very carefully: "Now there is the He Yang family, who married into the He family, the grandson of four households and three sons, He Hua, whose name is Zhishi, Sun He Hua celebrates the new year, mourns, and the next year, He Yang's family, does not follow women's ways, and sinks into the pond, attempted?"

"Didn't you kill him?" Dugu Haoyan was surprised.

"Hugh back to Yangmen, confiscating the dowry?" The little celestial master was stunned for a moment: "This is something that happened in the late Qing Dynasty. If you don't obey women's ways, you can still survive? Just lose the dowry?"

"Probably, there are also people in the Yang family. They can't have a girl who doesn't obey women's morals. If they start a quarrel, I guess the He family can't bear it, so these people discussed it. People can't die. The dowry can be given to the He family, and people can go back to Yang." Maybe you married far away?" The little celestial master guessed: "Otherwise, Shen Tang! What a serious matter."

"Look further back." Dugu Haoyan said: "What if there are more?"

"There is more, here is another record!" The little celestial master wrote in the next "He Clan Chronicles": "There is a Xu family today, married into He family, six-family and two son He Fei, named Ru Xian, son He Feiying was young Passed away, the next year will be mourned, during the two years of filial piety, the He Xu family did not abide by women's morals, conspired with others, and sank into the pond."
