Chapter 83
The Guan family finally got to sit together, but under such circumstances.
Yue Dingtang was among them as half a native and a protagonist who came from afar. Ling Shu was a guest and also had a seat.
Mr. Guan Da and Mr. Guan Si were on the left and right respectively, with cold faces, paying no attention to each other. Even if their eyes occasionally met, they hurriedly looked away, for fear of contaminating the other's bad luck.
Seats were limited, and due to Guan family tradition, the female relatives were not able to come in, and not all the five Guan family brothers came.
The eldest master and the fourth master made such a deep impression on Yue Dingtang that he recognized them without any introduction.
The second master was the second caller.
He was leaning on a cane, holding a pipe in his mouth, and squinting his eyes slightly as a habit. He first stood at the door, looked around, and took in everyone, and then slowly walked over.
"Are you Dingtang?"
The second master's eyes fell accurately on Yue Dingtang, without even looking at Ling Shu, as if he was very sure of his judgment.
Yue Dingtang stood up.
"Yes, second cousin, I am Dingtang."
Second Master: "Do you have a cousin?"
Yue Dingtang: "The word means martial virtue. Wu means martial arts, and virtue means virtue."
The second master thought for a while: "It's just that he is a bit murderous."
Yue Dingtang: "Wude is the title of the founding year of the Tang Dynasty. This must be what the elders meant."
The second master put his hands on his hands and smiled: "I see, I didn't expect this level."
The elder couldn't help but snorted coldly when he saw the two of them talking happily.
When I glanced at Ling Shu's idle expression, I felt even more unhappy.
In his opinion, if Ling Shu hadn't fanned the flames just now, how could he have been ridiculed by the fourth child.
Ling Shu noticed the eldest master's gaze and specially smiled at him.
The eldest man thought to himself, this pretty face looks so good-looking when she smiles. No wonder the fourth child can’t wait to make plans for his girl. Unfortunately, he likes her, but she may not like him. With the look of Ling, she must be Qianjiao at home.
The beloved Yao'er, the fourth child's plan may come to nothing this time.
Thinking of this, the old man's mood improved slightly.
The fifth master who came next was Guan Shizhi.
This young man with a poetic and romantic name is indeed about the same age as Ling Shu and the others, but he is dressed in a Chinese tunic suit and walks with a windy stride, which makes him seem a little out of place with his brothers.
"Are you Dingtang?"
The fifth master stretched out his hand to Yue Dingtang. Seeing that Yue Dingtang responded quickly and shook his hand, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"I have heard my father talk about you a long time ago. He said that the three sons of the Yue family are all talented. Today, when I see you, you are indeed worthy of your reputation!"
No matter how young a 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 energetic, and has returned from a trip to the West. He is full of confidence and a bit proud of a young man.
The disease of complacency.
Yue Dingtang felt that he usually said that Ling Shu was impatient, but compared with his fifth cousin, Ling Shu actually showed how measured he was.
"Fifth cousin, I am Dingtang. I am honored to meet you."
The fifth master looked around: "Where are the nephews? Why haven't they come?"
The second master waved his hand and said: "They are young. For such occasions, it is up to us elders to make the decision. We will go back to dinner and let them recognize their cousin who has come from afar."
The fifth master suddenly said: "Second brother, before he died, dad called all of us over and said that he had some relics left for us, but we had to wait until the Yue family came to reveal them all. Now that everyone is here, we are all here.
You can take out the box now!"
Yue Dingtang looked at the second master.
When he received the letters and telegrams, they only mentioned the death and funeral of the old man of the Guan family, and asked the Yue family to send someone to attend the funeral. There was no mention of the so-called relics. But now when the fifth master said it, it seemed that the old man had returned it to him.
, or maybe you left something for the Yue family?
The second master said to Yue Dingtang: "Yes, since Lao Wu said it, I might as well tell you. Before his death, the old man divided the Guan family's property into six parts, five of which were given to the five of us brothers, and the other one to the old man.
We are told to hand it over to you. Because your mother got married that year, the Guan family did not prepare a dowry for some reason, so you should have heard about it."
Yue Dingtang nodded: "My mother occasionally mentioned it during her lifetime, saying that she was young and ignorant, which hurt the hearts of the elders."
The second master sighed and said: "Now that times have changed, let's forget about these past events. What the old man means, no matter what, your mother's surname is Guan and she is a member of the Guan family. This dowry was not given before, but it should be made up for later.
Even if your mother is gone, your in-laws will have to take care of it on your behalf. Now that you are willing to come over, we can give an explanation to the old man."
The Yue family does not lack any dowry, but it involves the old man's will and his mother, so Yue Dingtang will naturally not refuse.
The second master said to the fifth master again: "Fifth master, what are you in a hurry? The fourth master hasn't arrived yet. Today, Tang Gang is scheduled to come. Let him meet all the elders and relatives first. Let's have a meal together in the evening. We will pick a good time tomorrow."
Everyone shouted together. The old man's things are now sealed and placed in the warehouse. There are five locks on the warehouse, one for each room. Everyone must be present before the lock can be unlocked. No one can take advantage of it. Don't worry.
That’s it.”
The fifth master was not very happy: "Why am I not happy? I just asked casually. In two months, I will go to the UK to further my studies. Who can afford to pay for this delay? If I want to ask Tiantian, he is also the eldest brother.
!”
The elder clapped his arms and stood up: "What are you talking about? Is this how you talk to your eldest brother?"
Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel again, the second master was busy trying to smooth things over.
"Okay, okay, we are all brothers, the fifth child. My nephew is still here. You have to act like an elder! We have been waiting for so long. In just one day, Dingtang came all the way from Shanghai to get here.
We have to let him get familiar with it first and walk around. Where is the third child? Why hasn’t the third child come yet?”
While talking, a servant of the Guan family came to report.
"Second Master, Third Master said he doesn't want to come over."
Master Guan Er's face suddenly turned dark.
"What do you mean you don't want to come?"
The servant hesitated and said: "The third master was busy and didn't bother to talk to the villain. The villain told me about the arrival of the young master of the Yue family. The third master was indifferent and just waved his hand. The villain had to come back to do business."
"It's not decent, it's too inappropriate!"
Mr. Guan Er muttered a few words back and forth, but he only muttered a few words. He neither asked his servants to pull him over by force, nor said he wanted to call him in person. He only gave Yue Dingtang a wry smile.
"Dingtang, your third cousin has a bit of a weird temper. He usually likes woodworking and carving. He is probably rushing to make something that he likes. Maybe it is a gift for you. How about this, I will ask someone to
I’ll take you to have a rest first, and we’ll have a meal together later, what do you think?”
A nephew I have never met before is here. As an elder, he doesn't speak out and doesn't even say a word. How can he be more than just weird?
Yue Dingtang originally thought that the second master looked more normal and reliable, but now it seems that he is just a flower-skin lantern with limited authority.
He said: "Guests do as they please, it's all up to my second uncle to make the decision."
The second master also seemed to feel a little embarrassed. He wanted to say something, so he opened his mouth and was concerned about the presence of others. In the end, he just coughed a few times.
"Mr. He, please take Mr. Dingtang and Ling with you."
"yes."
Ling Shu was in a good mood, following Master He, and humming a tune with interest.
However, when they arrived at the guest room in the backyard, even the careless Ling Shu almost dropped his jaw.
Chief He looked embarrassed and smiled bitterly at Ling and Yue.
The author has something to say: Here comes the late night snack, please pay attention to your health and hygiene, and celebrate the New Year happily!
