"Who's asking me?"
A rough voice came from the back door of the east side hall, and the clansmen of the eight major clans in the hall turned back to look for prestige, and saw the patriarch of the tiger and the bear waist around the screen, striding with his head held high.The second old lady Li sat in a chair, her hands folded on the dragon's head crutches.The bright old man smiled, not surprised by the sudden appearance of the Dian Patriarch.The patriarch bowed to the Mo patriarch and the others: "I haven't seen you for many days, I wish you all the brothers to say goodbye." ”"You've worked hard all the way."
Patriarch Mo greeted him with a high-sounding greeting, and Patriarch Dian smiled faintly and did not respond.The big hand pressed the shoulder of the Patriarch Dian, and the Patriarch Yan asked with a smile: "Brother Dian, when will you come back?"
”Patriarch Geng said straightforwardly: "I came back with Lord Qin Chazhang yesterday.Because I passed by Uncle Li's second uncle's grange, I bothered to fill my stomach for a day. ”"Brother Dian is right, if you go to the capital to meet the emperor, who would dare to lack your food?"
Patriarch Li teased in a flirtatious tone, squinting at the second old lady Li who had not changed his smile.The patriarch honestly said, "Yes, yes, I went for ten days and was hungry for ten days.What's so good about the capital, eating bowls and noodles are all small bowls, and drinking with small cups is really not enjoyable. ”Thinking of the hard life he had lived in the capital, the upright patriarch didn't care about his identity, and sat directly in the empty chair next to the second old lady Li.The people who were familiar with the temper of the patriarch were no longer surprised, and they turned a blind eye to his unruly and arrogant behavior.Patriarch Li also sat down and continued to quip with Patriarch Dian, "I said Brother Dian, you didn't say anything wrong when you saw the emperor, right?"
If he said something wrong and made Long Yan unhappy, it would be a big crime that implicated the entire patriarch. ”The second old lady Li squinted at the patriarch with white eyes.At the beginning, his eldest brother insisted on passing on the position of patriarch to his eldest son, and he objected.This eldest nephew is ambitious and resourceful, and he is far worse than the second nephew.On the other hand, the second nephew has read poetry and books since he was a child, is proficient in business, and is a person with great ambitions, so he is more suitable to be the patriarch of the Li clan than the eldest nephew.Looking at the eight patriarchs of this generation, the second old lady Li admired the four patriarchs of Cheng, Si, Dian, and Yan.When the moon is full, it is lost, and when the water is full, it overflows, and the big clans that are often at the forefront have great businesses and many clansmen, and it is even more difficult to ensure long-term prosperity.On the other hand, the small clans in the bottom four rankings will win steadily and continue for another hundred years.The upright patriarch pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Brother Li, who are you the emperor?"
The emperor has the world in his heart, the world is ruled by culture, and the country is Wuding, and our little patriarch stands at the feet of others and has to look up. ”Patriarch Li teased sourly: "Ouch, look at Patriarch Dian, this person who has seen the emperor is extraordinary." ”"Humph!
The bird knows the ambition of the bird. ”The patriarch twisted around and saw his wife staring at him in the crowd with red eyes and tears.A happy smile spread across his rugged face, and he reached out to his wife."
Are you stupidly happy to see your man come back?""
Phew!
You're stupid. ”Mrs.
Dian Lianbu moved lightly to her husband's side, put her soft little hand on his palm, and said coquettishly: "Why don't you send someone to tell me when you come back, so that I am worried day and night." ”"What can I do, Zhang Qin almost didn't allow me to come back with him.If it weren't for passing by Uncle Li's house and finding a place to live, Zhang Qincha would still want to leave me in the post house to eat and sleep open. ”Speaking of the unkind Zhang Qincha, the patriarch was full of grievances.The rugged face showed a pitiful expression that only a childlike child has, amused the delicate Mrs.
Dian, and also made everyone dumbfounded.Who has ever seen a tiger-like patriarch behave like a house cat in front of his wife?
The wonders of the world are all in front of you, and it's interesting enough.There was a faint laughter in the east side hall, and Mrs.
Dian was so ashamed that she shook off the hand of the patriarch and retreated to the side.The Dian Patriarch snorted and glanced around, and complained, "What are you laughing at?
I haven't seen my wife for a few days, can't I talk about my lovesickness?
Look at all of you, pretending to be a decent gentleman, I don't know how many ugly things you have done in private. ”The second old lady slapped the patriarch on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile: "Shut up."
As soon as he came back, he offended people, and when he saw the emperor, he was proud and didn't know how many catties and taels he had. ”"Hey, hey, hey!
How can I have!
How's that!
”The patriarch covered the back of his head and smirked, looked at the Wu patriarch lying on the bench, and said in a humble voice: "I met the fifth master of Qishan Qin in the capital, and I heard that Brother Wu hired a murderer to assassinate Feng Xiannu in an unsuccessful attempt, and poisoned the bandits in a fit of anger.Brother Wu is neat and clean, and his heart is ruthless enough.Admire!
Admire!
”"Humph!
Don't tease me!
I ended up today, and you have a share. ”The Wu patriarch gritted his teeth with hatred, if one day this group of people fell into his hands, they would be allowed to survive and not die.The patriarch shrugged his shoulders indifferently, took out a secret decree of golden thread Shu brocade from his arms, and said, "The clansmen of the eight major clans take the decree!"
”"Stinky boy, why didn't you take it out earlier."
The second old lady Li scolded with a smile, stood up with a dragon head cane, and knelt behind several patriarchs.The Wu patriarch was also loosened, and was supported by Mrs.
Wu to kneel down to listen to the order.The patriarch stood up straight and read the emperor's secret decree solemnly.The content of the secret message is simple.Because of the meritorious contribution of the patriarch to the jade seal, the emperor originally rewarded the patriarch with gold and silver treasures, and exchanged for a pardon order, pardoning the capital crimes of the eight clans within a year.Of course, this pardon also includes the crime of "secretly possessing" the jade seal of the Wu patriarch, the crime of poisoning the bandits who stole the jade seal, and the crime of murdering the daughter of Feng Xian.After the secret decree was read, the patriarch carefully put away the secret decree of the golden thread Shu brocade and handed it to his wife for safekeeping.When he saw Zhuge Yi, he handed over the secret decree to Zhuge Yi and returned it to Beijing according to the emperor's order.The Wu patriarch, who originally had a grudge against the Dian patriarch, was stunned, along with the clansmen of the eight major clans in the hall.Everyone asked themselves if they had given up their treasures and become knights like the patriarchs, would they give up their treasures and exchange them for a holy decree.You must know that the holy decree invited by the patriarch of the Dian to bless the entire clan of the eight clans.Avoiding the death penalty within a year, is it child's play?
The second old lady Li smiled, he really didn't see the wrong person.The nephew of the pawn family is a reckless man who is obsessed with martial arts, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is a mediocre patriarch.I rarely know that he is kind by nature, and he seems to be rough and uninhibited, but in fact he is as careful as a hair.The Wu patriarch has nothing to say.The long-standing contempt and ridicule of the patriarch now seemed so shameless and pathetic.A fool he never took into account actually saved him from fire and water.Patriarch Dian strode over, knelt down on one knee in front of the Wu patriarch, and slowly stood up with both hands supporting the Wu patriarch.Taking this opportunity, he leaned close to the ear of the Wu patriarch and whispered: "The holy order was asked by Zhuge Painter Qin Wuye to ask for it for you, and the people you should thank are Zhuge Painter and Qin Wuye." ”"I should thank you too, Brother Dian."
Patriarch Wu smiled awkwardly and reluctantly hugged Patriarch.() Glory to the end
