Chapter 55 Say one thing, do another (please recommend and reward for collection)

"Second uncle, this is not the case."

Lu Ting wanted to explain a few words, but before he finished speaking, his second uncle interrupted roughly: "I still have the face to explain? I have sold out my old face, and I found you a good job. I didn't even say hello, so I resigned." , Here you are trying to sell your ancestral house, and you are eating, drinking and having fun there, how old you are, but you still can't accomplish anything, get out, I don't have a descendant like you, and the Suzhou Lu family doesn't have a descendant like you."

Even without listening to Lu Ting's explanation, the second uncle was furious and scolded Lu Ting loudly in front of the surrounding clansmen and neighbors without saving any face.

The old man ate gunpowder today. Didn't Chen Xundao gain the upper hand in pursuing Lin Zhengshi, and the old vinegar circle for decades has collapsed?
"My lord, why don't you go back first." Fu Zhi whispered.

Lu Ting nodded, led the horse and prepared to leave first, it seemed difficult to communicate.

Just as he was about to leave, the second uncle's angry voice came from behind: "Don't go yet, leave the key to the house, lest the house be taken away one day."

After Fu Zhi handed over the key, after Lu Ting and Fu Zhi turned around and left, the second uncle's angry voice came from behind: "No one should remember that house in Lu Ting. This house can't change hands if the old man is in one day." , Even if something happens, the house is also used as a family property, this prodigal son has received the school rice distributed by the family, and anyone who dares to stretch out his hand will have his claws chopped off."

The second uncle suddenly turned his back on him. He refused to enter the house, and he couldn't even enter the ancestral hall to offer incense. Lu Ting was a little depressed. After thinking about it on the way, he quickly turned his horse and walked towards the Lin family. He wanted to say goodbye to Xiaoqiao. This time It can be said that the little maidservant has contributed the most to being able to travel smoothly, and it is right to say goodbye before leaving.

When they arrived at the Lin's house, they didn't expect to be shut down. The servants of the Lin's family said that Xiao Qiao's servant girl was out on business and was not at home. Lu Ting had no choice but to return disappointed.

Except for the second uncle and the little maidservant, there seems to be no one to bid farewell to. The third house is small, and there are not many relatives. When the old father was alive, he made money in business, and those relatives were jealous. When it was over, they accepted the profit but not the loss, because the money matter was very unpleasant, so they didn't have much contact with each other. The remaining relatives and friends either felt ashamed or feared that the predecessor would steal the money, so they cut off contact one after another.

In response to the old saying that "the poor are in the downtown area and no one hears about it".

No one saw him off, no one asked him to stay, Lu Ting put his luggage in the carriage, locked the gate, and left the gate of Suzhou City with a bit of an end.

Changmen is the west gate of the ancient city of Suzhou, the main gate for entering and leaving Suzhou city, and it becomes the representative of leaving or entering Suzhou city. According to the records in "Wuyue Chunqiu" by Zhao Ye of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "The person who erected the Changmen gate is like the gate of heaven, and it also passes through the Changhe wind." Associate Changmen with Tianmen.Wu Zixu defeated Chu from this gate, and since then the gate has triumphantly returned, which also makes this gate have a historical background.

Where there are people, there are business opportunities, and when there are business opportunities, there are merchants. Vendors gather around Changmen, and they continue to sell various commodities to passing business travelers.

Lu Ting lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked back at the city gate of Lumen, and remembered it deeply in his heart. Finally, he left Suzhou City, left Suzhou, and went straight to Chang'an for the sake of prosperity and wealth. Once Lumen, I don't know if there is a chance to see Lumen again.

It wasn't until Lumen was no longer in sight that Lu Ting put down the curtain in melancholy.

As soon as the curtain was lowered, the carriage stopped suddenly. If Lu Tingfa hadn't reacted quickly, he would have almost hit the carriage.

"Fuzhi, how do you drive?" Lu Ting recovered and couldn't help cursing.

For drivers, the first thing is to be steady. Even if they encounter rough places, they will remind them, and they will stop suddenly without saying a word.

"Young Master" Fu Zhi said aggrievedly, "Duo Shou suddenly jumped out and blocked the way."

How old are you?

"Master, excuse me." Duo Shou's voice sounded outside the car window.

Lu Ting opened it and saw that the person who smiled like a boiled pig's head was not Duo Shou.

"Longevity, why are you here?" Lu Ting said in surprise.

The second uncle gave him a scolding indiscriminately when he met, and he didn't know if he lost his temper because he didn't get along with him, or he didn't call him during the big meal, anyway, he got angry.

Duo Shou made a salute, pointed to a big cloth bag at his feet, and said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty asked the little one to farewell for you here. Kam."

"Second uncle is going to see me farewell?" Lu Ting said in surprise.

Just now, in front of so many clansmen and the people of Suzhou City, he didn't show himself any sympathy. He even let out the words that the Lu family in Suzhou didn't have such unworthy descendants. He almost thought he was going to be expelled from the family tree.

"Of course, Mr. Lang has always been very optimistic about the young master. How could he not support this young master's study abroad trip?" Duoshou said solemnly.

This is talking nonsense with open eyes. When the second uncle was training him, Duo Shou, as the number one confidant of the second uncle, kept watching from the side. Is that called support?
Seeing Lu Ting's expression of disbelief, Duoshou quickly explained: "My lord, the lord reprimanded him on the spot, but he was actually just pretending to hit those little lords in the clan. In fact, the lord is still very optimistic about the lord, otherwise he wouldn't let him go." The little one brought so many things here and waited for the young master."

After Duo Shou finished speaking, he ignored Lu Ting's reaction, turned around and put the bag of things into the carriage with great difficulty, and then said with relief: "Young master, my lord has said that the sky and the earth are bigger than the love of flesh and blood. , the Lu family in Suzhou will always be the son's home."

Lu Ting's heart was moved when he heard the words, and he said gratefully: "Second uncle is really well-intentioned. Long live, go back and tell me, just say that I remember."

"Yes, son."

Seeing Duoshou turned around and wanted to leave, Lu Ting called him back: "Duoshou, has Second Uncle made any progress with Mrs. Lin recently?"

Duoshou hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Master, it's okay if you don't talk about it, but when you talk about it, your heart trembles. Mrs. Lin had an accident in Hangzhou's shop. She rushed to Hangzhou to deal with it. Chen Xundao also accompanied him. Mr. Lang knows I was very unhappy in my heart, and I was angry every day, not to mention the little ones who were servants and were beaten and scolded. Please give me preferential treatment, my lord, please forgive me."

There are two things that men are upset about. One is money and the other is women. Although the second uncle is not rich, he is more than the top and the bottom. I am not very worried about money. Women are more likely, so I really let myself guess. The pot of more than 60 years old vinegar poured out, the power can be imagined, no wonder the old face is stretched so long, his eyes seem to look like everyone owes him money, it turned out that the competitor Chen Xundao took the lead, the old man was a little ashamed Become angry.

Lu Ting waved to Duoshou, and then told Fuzhi to continue on his way.

If the second uncle comes here, I have to get out of the car and salute, and learn some principles of life from the second uncle. I just come here to live longer, as long as I get the meaning, there is no need to say so much.

After walking about ten miles, Fuzhi stopped the carriage, let the horse rest, and fed the horse with water and feed.

Riding in a carriage is comfortable, but horses are not machines. They will get tired after running for a long time, and they have to rest every time they reach a certain distance. This is the purpose of the imperial court setting up post stations at intervals. If horsepower is not spared, the horse will lose weight in a few days, Lu Ting After counting, now the official road is flat, easy to walk, and has enough horsepower. It is not a problem to be able to walk 150 miles a day. laugh.

When Fuzhi was taking care of the horses, Lu Ting thought of the big cloth bag that Duoshou had sent him, and wanted to see what his second uncle gave him.

Lu Ting wanted to lift the big cloth bag into the carriage for another look, but when he lifted it, he found that the bag was very heavy, so he had to drag it into the carriage.

I opened the big cloth bag and saw that there was a bamboo box on it. When I opened it, I found that there were candles, flint, wormwood, tea leaves, some plasters for wounds, and some packages of traditional Chinese medicine for diarrhea and typhoid fever, all of which were marked. These are things that are always on hand when traveling.

Under the bamboo box was a cloth bag, which was still warm to the touch. When I opened it, there was a stack of rice cakes, a few strips of marinated meat jerky, and some dried fruits and preserves. They were all edible things on the road. At the bottom, Lu Ting guessed The hits are all copper coins that are threaded in a consistent pattern. After counting, there are twenty.

A consistent coin is about six catties, and a twenty copper coin is more than one hundred catties. No wonder it is difficult for me to lift it even if I want to.

At that time, Fuzhi came back from feeding the horses and saw copper coins all over the place, and said in surprise: "I thought the old man was ruthless, I didn't expect to be so generous."

The house was not allowed to enter, the ancestral hall was not allowed to worship, and he was reprimanded in public. Fuzhi thought that the second uncle was really angry, but he didn't expect him to send someone to give money and things on the way.

Lu Ting was a little surprised and moved in his heart, but he said a little indignantly: "Second uncle is second uncle, how old are you, and you still play with your mouth and say no, but your body is very honest, it's boring."

"Young master, what do you mean by that?" Fuzhi asked a little puzzled.

Although the second uncle said that he was a bit too much in front and didn't show any face to the young master, but in the end he still gave money and things, and he was generous, and even made Duo Shou warm words, it seemed that the young master was very dissatisfied.
