Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 348;

Chapter 340;
Lu Jishan, who had settled down, returned to the mansion from the household department with two servants who had been playing since he was a child. Lu Jishan, who got off the carriage, looked at the bustling mansion with people coming and going, and knew in his heart that the people in his hometown should It's all in order.

Calling a servant to stop, Lu Jishan couldn't help asking another question;
"But the patriarch, and Aye are back?"

"If you go back to Mr. Lang, it hasn't been long since you came back. It's almost time for a stick of incense. Madam led everyone to welcome the two patriarchs and the elders into the mansion, and the etiquette was in place, and she never neglected.

The head of the patriarch also praised his wife a few words, just entering the main hall at this moment, the villain was ordered to arrange hot water. "

"Oh, go get busy, old man...ah no, I'm going to pay respects to the elder in the main hall."

"As ordered."

After the servant agreed, he walked away quickly. With the help of the two servants, Lu Jishan tidied up his appearance and strode into the main hall with his head held high.

Entering the main hall, Lu Jishan didn't look sideways, he went straight to the center, stood firmly on his feet, and bent down to salute;

"Meet the patriarch, and respectfully wish Fu'an."

In the chair of the Grand Master on the east side of the upper part of the main hall, the kind old man spoke softly;
"Fourth brother, excuse me, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Patriarch."

Lu Jishan, who straightened his waist, moved two steps to the west, stood under Lu Situ's head, and bowed again to salute;

"My son pays homage to Aye, and bows to Jin'an."

Lu Situ said nothing, and just looked at his own son like that, without saying a word for a long time.

He didn't get a response, and Lu Jishan didn't dare to raise his head and straighten up, maintaining a salute posture, motionless.

The atmosphere in the main hall was full of enthusiasm just now, but it disappeared without a trace in an instant. The maids, servants, and servants all quickly lowered their heads. Lu Cui also looked over nervously. The five concubines standing behind him , but also in different forms.

After a long while, Lu Situ opened his mouth to speak unhurriedly;
"Get up."

"Yes, thank you."

Lu Jishan, who straightened his back, was busy paying respects to a dozen other old men one by one. When everyone quieted down, Lu Jishan stood in the middle of the main hall, neither sitting nor sitting...

The benevolent patriarch looked at the awkward atmosphere and had no choice but to mediate;
"Fourth brother, sit down quickly. We haven't seen each other for three years. Sit down and have a good talk."

"Yes, thank you, brother, for giving me a seat."

Lu Jishan just arrived in time, and took a quick look at the main hall. There were four serious old men sitting a little behind the two patriarchs.

The four sitting next to the patriarch are the patriarch's two direct younger brothers and two concubine younger brothers. Aye's side is similar, one direct younger brother and three concubine younger brothers.

The third guest seat on the east side is the fifth uncle who is in charge of the genealogy of Lu's second wife. The way of sitting in this position is basically the same as when Lu's ancestral hall was opened. It seems that these seats have just been added.

Except for the fifth uncle who is in charge of the genealogy, and the elder brothers sitting next to him, the eight sitting next to the two patriarchs are all clan elders who are in charge of punishment...

Lu Jishan also knew in his heart that the horses and chariots were clear in this battle, and all he was waiting for was his return.

Lu Jishan went straight to the lower seat on the west side of the hall, and Lu Cui stood up on the second seat;
"My concubine paid my respects to my husband, but my husband returned home, but I didn't greet her, but please forgive me."

"No offense, madam welcomes the two patriarchs and the elders back to the mansion on my behalf. This is the top priority in the mansion. I haven't informed you when I come back. How can you blame madam, madam, please sit down."

"Thank you husband."

The five concubines who stood behind Lu Cui and waited on them bowed down together;
"Meet my lord."

Lu Jishan hummed;
"Get up."

"Yes, Mr. Xie Lang."

Lu Jishan graciously sat in the first guest seat on the west side. After sitting down, he didn't think about anything. He watched his nose, nose and heart, waiting for the judgment to come.

Sure enough, Lu Jishan was not disappointed, and old Aye spoke directly without delay;
"Congratulations to you for being promoted to three ranks in a row. It is also due to your hard work and hard work. Among the 14 people in the authentic Sanfang of the Lu family in Fanyang, only you have the highest official position.

It is also the only one who holds the real power of a department and is still in an important position. The position of the doctor of the warehouse department has always been an important place in the household department, in charge of the department's large and small inventories.

Today, there is also Wuliangye, a strong liquor, entering and entering the warehouse, and this difference is the most important position in the court at present.

To say that you are down-to-earth in handling errands, you are also competent enough for the Cangbu Division before you go there, and you are more than enough.

However, in terms of qualifications, you still have some qualifications that are not enough for the Secretary of Cangbu after joining the Wuliangye business.

It is also related to the fact that the old man did not agree to go out to help the Supreme Emperor back then. At the beginning, the old man did not help the Li family of Longxi, but chose to retire, which was also extremely helpless.

The old man has a violent temper, and he originally thought that loyal ministers would not serve two masters, but the old man also knew that when the world was in chaos, it was in line with the will of heaven that Li Tang took advantage of the situation to rise.
Therefore, although the old man did not go out of the mountain, he discussed with the head of the clan and sent 14 of you Sanfang brothers to leave the old house of Fan Yang to support the Li family in Longxi.

You didn't disappoint the patriarch, and now you are officials of the fifth and sixth ranks. The patriarch is pleased, and the old man is also very satisfied.

You have the right time and place, and when His Majesty is the King of Qin, you are working as an errand in the Palace of the King of Qin, which is a lucky fortune.

However, in the original rank of civil servants in Prince Qin's Mansion, you were ranked No. 19, just passing by the title of eighteen bachelors.

However, the arrangement of this ranking has something to do with the old man’s refusal to go out of the mountain twice. Among the last six of the eighteen bachelors, you don’t lose to anyone, except your old Aye, who didn’t come out of the mountain As a matter of fact, this is why you missed the fate of the Eighteenth Scholars, and your name fell to Sun Shan, which hindered your progress. This is also the biggest regret in your life. "

When Lu Jishan heard his own Aye's self-reproach, he hurriedly replied;

"This matter has nothing to do with Aye, it's all because of my lack of thoughtfulness in doing things, Aye, please don't think about it like this, I have never complained before, please ask Aye to check."

Lu Situ nodded in satisfaction, and continued to preach to his lovable son;

"Aye knows your filial piety, and everyone in your family knows your character. You don't need to explain. Although you were not selected as an eighteen bachelor at the beginning, fortunately, you are steadfast and cautious.

He has always been famous and made up for many deficiencies. Today, the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty also see it clearly.

Otherwise, why have you been promoted all the way from a small official under the eighth rank to the fifth rank at such a young age? Do you also know how many people have spent their entire lives since ancient times and could not pass the death threshold of the sixth rank?
When the old man was at your age, he happened to be at the fifth rank, which was exactly the same as your current rank. After all, you did not work in vain, and the hard work in the past has been reaping.

Now you have been promoted three levels in a row, directly to the fifth grade, and you are in charge of the authority of the first division. You are only in your early forties when you sit in such an important position, and your future future may not be able to keep up with the footsteps of the old man.

But you still need to continue to be steadfast, continue to be cautious, and continue to be careful in order to succeed in the end. The old man named you Jishan back then, and it was not for nothing. You have to think more about it. "

When Lu Jishan heard this, he stood up again to respond;
"It's Aye, I remember."

"Well, it's best to remember. Sit down. I, Fan Yang Lu, have three authentic sects. If I want to rise again, I have to fall on you brothers.

Especially you, who have been promoted all the way, the patriarch and the old man place great hopes on you, so we have been paying close attention to your affairs and dare not slack off.

Don't look at the old man who is already in his seventies, and has retired for more than ten years in the spring and autumn, and doesn't care about world affairs, but my eyes are not blind, and my heart is not blind.

If you took the position of doctor of Cangbu Division two years ago and presided over Cangbu's affairs today, you would have followed the steps and had sufficient qualifications.

Looking at the eighteen bachelors, they are all in important positions, and it's your turn, so the old man guessed that you will be promoted up to three years after I return to my hometown to recuperate, but you have stayed where you are for four and a half years. Do you know why? "

The benevolent and kind-looking patriarch at the head no longer had a gentle expression, but also looked at Lu Jishan with his eyes, and he was all radiant in an instant, without anger.

Seeing the question, Lu Jishan quickly stood up from the grand master's chair again;

"Report to Aye, son... son..."

Lu Jishan's face was burning hot, and he was a little ashamed. He had made a plan, and when he came back, he immediately admitted his mistake and admitted his inappropriateness. The two sons, after all, did not continue.

Lu Situ's temperament has always been like thunder and lightning. Looking at the first-in-law who pinned the most hopes on him, he hesitated, and immediately frowned, and slapped his right hand on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Shocked, Lu Jishan shuddered all over, and hurriedly lowered his head.

"Why, you still don't understand why you haven't been promoted step by step in the past two years?
It is impossible for the patriarch to repeat what you have done. "

Lu Situ slapped the table with a slap, and the first old man beside him, his real brother, and the first hand in the second room, the old man of the Xing clan, immediately responded and shouted loudly;
"Lu Jishan, in front of the patriarch and my second patriarch, you still want to get away with the crime. Uncle advises you to do it honestly, so as not to suffer from the punishment.
If you dare to hide a little bit, the old man will tell you to bruise your flesh and blood at the patriarch's order, so hurry up and do it honestly. "

"Yes, yes, yes, patriarch calm down, big clan elder calm down, calm down."

Lu Situ's slap not only frightened Lu Jishan, but also made Lu Cuishi and five concubines tremble several times.

The heads of the five concubines lowered even more. Seeing that her man was about to be punished by the clan rules, Lu Cui was extremely worried, but there was nothing he could do.

This kind of formation didn't drive her out of the women's generation, but also asked her to sit in the hall and watch, it was already giving her the face of the patriarch's heir as the wife and big wife.

How could she have the guts to say one more word, the silk scarf in her hand was twisted into twists, her heart was pounding, and from the corner of her eye, she secretly watched the group of old men above...

Lu Jishan was also sweating profusely, even Uncle Aye didn't dare to scream, and wiped his sweat nervously, Lu Jishan knew he couldn't hide;
"As the head of the Hui family, I guessed that maybe I was not strict in running the family and I was incapable of raising my children, which led to my inability to be promoted.

In the past few years, I have raised a rebellious son, who corrupted my Fanyang Lu family's Qingming family style. I am guilty. Please ask the patriarch to deal with it according to the clan rules, son... I have no complaints. "

"Well, it's good if you know it, it's not too stupid, but you know that if you didn't raise a rebellious son, the position of doctor of Cangbu Division would have been in your pocket long ago?

You have worked peacefully for two or three years, and now you are more than enough to be qualified for this liquor job, and no one will come out and chew your tongue, saying that you are not qualified enough.

In this way, within two or three years of being in charge of spirits, you just go along with the current and ride on the momentum, and you will always have a position as a servant in the six departments.

Now, although you are still sitting on the throne of the doctor, if you want to rise again, you will face a lot of resistance.

In future errands, you have to be careful step by step, cautious step by step, careful step by step, otherwise this is the threshold of your life, and you will never cross it again, do you know all this? "

Lu Jishan listened to Aye's earnest persuasion, and quickly answered;
"Yes, yes, I remember what the patriarch said."

"It's best to remember. If you don't remember, you are the sinner who delayed the rise of my Lu family. In the future, you will go to the Nine Springs, and you will not meet. Go to meet the ancestors of the Lu family."

"Patriarch, don't worry, I will be more cautious in my future errands, always be kind to others, always put the overall situation first, and will never do anything to delay the rise of the Lu family."

"Well, that's very good! Although the old man, the patriarch and all the clan elders are far away from Fan Yang's hometown, they know the movements of Lu's second and third households in Chang'an City very well.

If you dare to speak a lie today, the patriarch will fight you in front of the hall to rectify my Lu family style, do you know the importance? "

"Yes, I know the seriousness, and I dare not lie."

"The old man came to ask you, you admitted that you raised a rebellious son, but also said that he ruined my Lu family style, tell me what he did, and asked the chief patriarch and the elders to weigh it up , how to deal with it is up to you."

"Yes, that rebellious son did not listen to my teachings. He relied on his family's reputation to go out and oppress good people and rob people's daughters. He did seven times to insult my family's reputation and ruin my Lu family. Family style, the crime deserves death."

When Lu Situ heard this, he leaned forward a little and asked word by word;

"Only seven times? In broad daylight, he robbed Lin Rongniang, the personal servant of Lin Rongniang, the patriarch of the second household of the Li family in Longxi.
Could it be that stealing the gold hairpin and beating two unarmed women together with Diao Nu is not a good deed?

Or you are in an important position now, and you are too busy with errands, and you forget about it? "

Lu Jishan only thought about bullying those poor people seven times, but ignored Li Yu's matter.

Then I heard my Aye bring it up again, and spoke sneeringly and sarcasticly, with a strange air, for fear that my Aye would get angry again, so he immediately changed his words;

"Eight times, eight times, that rebellious son did the wrong thing and did eight times of evil deeds, which made the people resentful. I remembered...that's right, it was eight times."

Lu Situ snorted coldly when he heard this, and sat on the back of the grand master's chair again. Lu Jishan's real uncle, seeing his elder brother snorted coldly, immediately followed with a cold sentence;
"Lu Jishan, when you talk to the patriarch, you'd better think it through before you say it. Don't talk about those useless things. One is one, and two is two. If you dare to hide it for the second time, be careful of your skin..."
