Delicate Flower Chapter 75: Relics
But Li Jun knew that he was no longer qualified to say these words to Yu Tang.
"I know!" He nodded sadly and left the Yu family.
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
In his previous life, Li Jun fell off his horse in the past few days. Now that so many changes have taken place, he should not be in the mood to ride horses with his friends, which can be regarded as saving his own life in disguise.
However, Yu Tang was still a little afraid of what happened in her previous life. She spent money to hire Ah Liu, a pear seller, to keep an eye on Li Jun. If Li Jun went out on horseback, she would immediately stop Li Jun and say that she had something to do with him.
As for what happened, Yu Tang has not found an excuse yet.
On the day of the accident, Li Jun still went out. Fu Xiaowan and others saw that he was doing bad things one after another these days, so they invited him to go out on horseback.
Li Jun was not in the mood.
Yesterday, his mother received a reply from his father, asking Lin to choose a day to send him to Rizhao, and his father would personally guide him in his homework.
If Fu Xiaowan had come to invite him out in the past, he would have endured the discomfort and gone out even if he felt uncomfortable. But now, he wants to talk more to Fu Xiaowan.
Now that he has left, I don’t know when he will come back.
They did not go on a horseback trip, but went to Shen Fang's house, drank tea, listened to music and chatted, and did not return home until the moon rose above the willow trees.
After Yu Tang got the news, his anxious heart was completely relieved.
In this way, she had done everything she could, and Li Jun's life was saved. From now on, she would have nothing to do with the Li family. In the future, there is no need to worry about anything if there is a grudge or a grudge.
On the fourth day of October, Li Jun set out to leave Lin'an City.
Yu Tang didn’t know.
She worshiped her ancestors in the old house with her elders and brothers.
Just as they returned to the Yu family's old house and sat down, the fifth uncle limped in and said that someone wanted to visit them and asked if they had seen him or not.
Since Uncle Qitang’s accident, even though Yu Wen promised to provide for his fifth uncle until his death, the fifth uncle seemed to have been cramped overnight. He had no energy to do anything. He just squatted at the door every day and smoked his own seed. He had sprained his foot a few days ago. Yu Wen asked a doctor for him, but he didn't take the medicine well. He just dragged on day by day, refusing to listen to anyone's advice.
Yu Wen couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, and said to his fifth uncle in a warm voice: "You have bad feet, so don't be busy. Who wants to see me? I'll just go and see for myself."
The fifth uncle just felt that he couldn't help Yu Wen and Yu Tang. He smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I know my own feet. It's the Lu family who wants to see you. The person who lives in the house is Lu Xin, the person from the Lu family who you gave him a generous burial after his death." At this point, the fifth uncle couldn't help but added, "I see they also brought a child. I was thinking about it. , did the Lu family clan want to adopt this child to Lu Xin, so they came to you to talk about it."
This originally had nothing to do with the Yu family, but Lu Xin’s funeral affairs were helped by the Yu family. If the Lu family wanted to adopt an heir to Lu Xin, they should come to fight with the Yu family in both emotional and logical reasons. This is a greeting, and I have accepted this favor from the Yu family.
Yu Wen didn't take it to heart, and gave his fifth uncle a few words of concern before going to meet the Lu family.
My fifth uncle really guessed it right. Isn’t it time for the annual ancestor worship on the first day of October? The Lu family's clan decided to offer Lu Xin's incense to his adopted heirs, and said to Yu Wen: "I used to be angry that their family didn't take the clan in their eyes, but people die like lamps going out. There are some things." Let's forget it, lest future generations talk about it and think I'm too small-minded. He's a descendant of the Lu family, and it's not suitable for you, the Yu family, to help worship him. No, we elders of the clan will discuss this and let him worship him. The boy was adopted by Lu Xin. However, the child still lives with his biological parents, and just goes to burn incense for Lu Xin during the holidays."
Yu Wen thinks this is fine.
His friendship with Lu Xin is a matter of his lifetime. He can’t drag future generations to pay homage to Lu Xin every year, right? What's more, Yu Tang doesn't like Lu Xin.
"You are considerate!" Yu Wen thanked the clan clan of the Lu family on behalf of Lu Xin.
Then the clan leader of the Lu family revealed his real purpose: "Look, Lu Xin doesn't have anything left. He also sold that shabby house to an outsider. We can't let this child have nothing to think about." ?I heard that when you came back from Hangzhou, you brought a few things that Lu Xin used during his lifetime. Can you, can you just give them to this child? Speaking of which, this child can be regarded as one adopted by Lu Xin. Voucher..."
Yu Wen was stunned.
He had a lot of speculations with Yu Tang before.
He thought that the Li family would let people steal again, and thought that someone would come to rob them. After the Li family and the Yu family had a quarrel, he even thought about whether the Li family would give up and stop beating them. Home idea.
What he didn't expect was that people from the Lu family would come to ask for Lu Xin's so-called relics at this time.
Yu Wen hesitated for a moment.
This relic was originally intended to lure the Li family into taking the bait. If it were given to the Lu family, would the Lu family also be implicated in this?
The benefits of navigation maps are huge. No one knows if there is someone else behind the Li family? I wonder what the background of the person behind this is? What kind of behavior?
A trace of greed flashed across the face of the Lu family clan leader.
They didn’t originally want Lu Xin’s relics, but a few days ago he accidentally learned that a painting left by Lu Xin was an authentic work from the previous dynasty and could be sold for at least three to five hundred taels on the market. silver. This makes people a little jealous.
Then Yu Wen spent at most twenty taels of silver on burying Lu Xin, so how could he get this painting for nothing?
This painting should logically fall into the hands of the Lu family.
Thinking of this, the Lu family clan could not help but feel a little anxious and said: "Master Yu, I also know that you gave Lu Xin a grand burial. Logically speaking, we shouldn't take things back. But I am from the Lu family. I cannot just ignore Lu Xin’s heir. This is my honor and there is nothing I can do about it. Please, Mr. Yu, do your best and return Lu Xin’s relics to our Lu family. We are very grateful! ”
After speaking, he stood up and saluted Yu Wen.
Yu Wen wanted to return the things to the Lu family, but he was a little undecided about what to do, so he simply dragged the Lu family’s clan member and said: "He didn’t leave many things, and I haven’t organized them properly yet. This way , after these few days of worship, you come home again, and we will discuss what to do about this matter!"
The Lu family clan was afraid that Yu Wen would regret it, but he didn’t want to push it too hastily for fear of arousing Yu Wen’s suspicion, so he hurriedly said: "Okay! When will you return to Lin'an City? I will take this child to visit you then. ."
Yu Wen pushed: "We won't go back until the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, let's make an appointment in five days!"
Yu Wen negotiated for a long time about the price of the Lu family’s clan house, and decided to go to Yu’s house to pick up the things in three days.
Yu Wen nodded helplessly, and the people who saw off the Lu family quietly pulled Yu Tang to talk under the camphor tree in the front yard behind the Chen family's back.
He told Yu Tang exactly what happened and said, "Tell me, what should we do?"
Unconsciously, he has regarded his daughter as his backbone.
They had already spread the news about Lu Xin's relics, but neither the Lu family nor the Li family made any move. But at this time, just after the argument with the Li family ended, the Lu family thought of having an heir and came to pick up the relics. If there was nothing fishy behind this matter, Yu Tang would be the first to not believe it.
However, her mind has fundamentally changed.
In the past, she just wanted to throw this hot potato away, but now, she has to try her best to burn the people behind the scenes to blisters in order to alleviate the resentment in her heart.
"Then give it to them." Yu Tang said coldly, "However, we also spent a lot of money on Uncle Lu's burial. If their family wants to take things back, they have to make up for our family's deficit no matter what. Right?"
“That’s not good!” Yu Wen objected without thinking too much, “Maybe they were also taken advantage of.”
"If they are not greedy, will they be taken advantage of?" Yu Tang was unmoved and said disdainfully, "Even if this is a big hole, they are the ones who want to jump in. Do they still blame us for not warning us? Don't they? Even a three-year-old child knows that there is no such thing as pie in the sky. He is a member of the clan and actually believes in such a good thing. Do we still have to tell him step by step that he should not be greedy for ill-gotten gains? "
Yu Wen was persuaded by his daughter and said: "Then what should we say when they come to the door? Should we directly ask them for money? How much is appropriate?"
Yu Tang said: "For people like them, the more you ask them for money directly, the less suspicious they will be. Didn't Uncle Lu sell the painting to you for two hundred taels of silver? We don't want more. Yes, just two hundred taels of silver."
"So many!" Yu Wen was shocked.
But Yu Tang was confident and said: "Listen to me, it's true. They can kill people and force marriage for a painting, and anything that can be solved with money is nothing."
Yu Wen agreed with some uneasiness.
Yu Tang asked the Qu family brothers to investigate.
Sure enough, someone encouraged the Lu family clan to say that among Lu Xin's relics there was a painting worth four or five hundred taels of silver.
Yu Tang thought for a long time.
When the Lu family clan came to visit with Lu Xin's so-called heir, Yu Wen did not beat around the bush and asked for two hundred taels of silver. He also followed what Yu Tang told him and said shamelessly: "I sold that painting to him back then. He paid me two hundred taels of silver, and as for the funeral expenses and so on~IndoMTL.com~When I have a meeting with his brother, just treat it as my sponsoring him, forget it."
The Lu family clan was shocked and said: "Why so much money?"
Yu Wen pretended to be profound while drinking tea.
The Lu family clan member gritted his teeth.
If the painting can be sold for 500 taels of silver, and the Yu family gives 200 taels of silver, their family can still get more than half.
That person is still waiting to draw!
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, the Lu family clan agreed with blood, and immediately went back to borrow two hundred taels of silver from the person who encouraged them to come to get the relics, and sent it to the Yu family, wrote a delivery document, and handed over Lu Xin's "relics" "Took it away.
Yu Wen looked at the four large silver ingots placed on the big round table in the hall, feeling like he was in a dream, and asked Yu Tang: "We made two hundred taels of silver so easily."
Yu Tang looked at the four ingots of snowflake silver and laughed, and said: "Just in time, I can use it for my brother to get a wife." He also joked with his father, "Can I keep the dowry my mother prepared for me? Already?"
