It's just that Li Jun knew that he was no longer qualified to say these words to Yu Tang.

"I know!" He nodded sadly and left Yu's house.

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, so she paid the pear seller Ah Liu to keep an eye on Li Jun, and if Li Jun went out on horseback, she immediately stopped Li Jun, saying that she had something to do with him.

As for what happened, Yu Tang has yet to find an excuse.

As a result, on the day of the accident, Li Jun still went out—Fu Xiaowan invited him to go out on a horseback after seeing one bad thing after another in his life these days.

Li Jun was in no mood.

Yesterday his mother received a letter from his father, asking Mrs. Lin to send him to Rizhao on another day, and his father would personally guide him in his homework.

If the former Fu Xiaowan came to invite him to go out, even if he felt uncomfortable, he would endure the unhappiness and go out. But now, he wants to talk to Fu Xiaowan more.

As soon as he left like this, he didn't know when he would come back.

They didn't go out on horseback, but went to Shen Fang's house, drank tea, listened to music and chatted, and they didn't return home until the moon was over.

Yu Tang got the news here, and his hanging heart was completely relieved.

In this way, she did everything she could do, and Li Jun's life was saved. From now on, she will have nothing to do with the Li family. In the future, if there is revenge and revenge, there is no need to worry about anything.

On the fourth day of October, Li Jun left Lin'an City.

Yu Tang didn't know.

She worshiped her ancestors in the old house with her elders and elder brother.

It's just that they had just returned to the Yu family's old house and sat down when the fifth uncle limped in and said that someone was going to visit them and asked if they would see him or not.

Since Uncle Qitang's accident, even though Yu Wen promised to give Uncle Fifth a pension, Fifth Uncle seemed to have been cramped overnight, and he lost all energy in doing anything. He sprained his ankle a few days ago, Yu Wen invited a doctor for him, and he didn't take medicine well, so he dragged on like this day after day, and he didn't listen to anyone's persuasion.

Yu Wen couldn't help sighing, and said to the fifth uncle in a warm voice: "You have bad feet, so don't rush around. Who wants to see me? I'll go and see for myself."

Fifth Uncle just felt that he was sorry for Yu Wen and Yu Tang, so he smiled bitterly when he heard the words, and said, "Don't worry about me, I know my own feet. The one who wants to see you is the family member of the Lu family. , that person from the Lu family, Lu Xin, whom you gave him a lavish burial after he died.” At this point, the Fifth Uncle couldn’t help but said again, “I think they brought a child here, and I wondered if it was The clan of the Lu family wants to adopt this child to Lu Xin, so I asked you to talk about it."

Originally, this had nothing to do with the Yu family, but Lu Xin's funeral was assisted by the Yu family. If the Lu family's family wanted to adopt an heir for Lu Xin, they should come to say hello to the Yu family, both emotionally and logically. It is the favor of the Yu family.

Yu Wen didn't take it to heart, and told his fifth uncle a few words of concern before going to see the Lu family.

The fifth uncle really guessed it right, isn't it time for the annual ancestor worship on the first day of October? The clan house of the Lu family decided to give Lu Xin an adoptive heir to enshrine his incense, and said to Yu Wen: "In the past, I was angry at their family for not paying attention to the clan house, but people die like a lamp going out. Forget it, so that future generations will not think that I am too small-minded. He is a descendant of the Lu family, and it is not easy for you Yu family to help worship. No, the elders of our clan discussed it and let this The boy was adopted by Lu Xin. However, the child still lives with his own biological parents, and he just goes to offer incense to Lu Xin during the festivals."

Yu Wen thinks this is also good.

The friendship between him and Lu Xin is a matter of his generation, so it can't implicate future generations to pay homage to Lu Xin every year, right? Besides, Yu Tang doesn't like Lu Xin.

"You have a heart!" Yu Wen expressed his gratitude to the Lu family's clan house on behalf of Lu Xin.

Only then did the family of the Lu family reveal their real intentions: "Look, Lu Xin doesn't have anything left. He also sold that dilapidated house to outsiders. You can't let this child have nothing to think about, right? I heard You said that when you came back from Hangzhou City, you also brought a few things that Lu Xin used before he was alive. If you can, if you can, just give it to this child. Speaking of it, it can be regarded as a proof that this child adopted Lu Xin... "

Yu Wen was taken aback.

He had a lot of speculation with Yu Tang before.

He thought that the Li family would be stolen again, that someone would rob him, and after the Li family and the Yu family had a quarrel, he even thought that the Li family would quit because of this, and never try to think of their Yu family again. .

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 the bait. If it was given to the Lu family, would the Lu family also be implicated in it.

The benefits of nautical maps are huge, and no one knows if there are other people behind the Li family? I don't know what is the background of the people behind this? What act

The clan of the Lu family watched with a hint of greed flashing across his face.

They didn't want Lu Xin's relics at first, but a few days ago he inadvertently knew that a painting left by Lu Xin was an authentic work from the previous dynasty, and it could be sold for at least three to five hundred taels of silver in the market. This makes people a little jealous.

Yu Wen's burial of Lu Xin cost at most twenty taels of silver, so why should he get this painting for nothing

This painting should have fallen into the hands of the Lu family.

Thinking about it this way, the clan of the Lu family couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and said: "Master Yu, I also know that you buried Lu Xin generously. It stands to reason that we shouldn't take things back. But I am the clan of the Lu family." , I can’t just ignore Lu Xin’s heir like this. This is also where I am, and there is nothing I can do about it. I also ask Master Yu to do his best and return Lu Xin’s relics to our Lu family. We are extremely grateful!”

After speaking, he got up and saluted Yu Wen.

Yu Wen wanted to return the things to the Lu family, but he couldn't make up his mind what to do, so he simply dragged the Lu family's clan house and said, "There are not many things left by him, and I haven't tidied them up for a while. In this way, after waiting After a few days of sacrificial offerings, you come home again, and we will discuss what to do with this matter!"

The clan of the Lu family was afraid of Yu Wen's repentance, but he didn't want to push him too fast, lest it arouse Yu Wen's suspicion, so he hurriedly said, "That's fine! When will you return to Lin'an City? I will bring this child to visit you then."

Yu Wen tweeted: "We will go back the day after tomorrow. Or, after five days!"

Lu family's clan house bargained, Yu Wen talked for a long time, and decided to go to Yu's house to pick up things in three days.

Yu Wen nodded helplessly, and the people who sent off the Lu family secretly dragged 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 just now, and said, "Say, what should we do?"

Before he knew it, he had already made his daughter his backbone.

They had spread the news about Lu Xin's relic long ago, but neither the Lu family nor the Li family made any movement. But at this time, just after the argument with the Li family was over, the Lu family thought of Guo Si and came to get the relics. If there was nothing strange behind this incident, Yu Tang would be the first to not believe it.

However, her thinking has changed radically.

In the past, she just wanted to throw out this hot potato, but now, she has to do her best to burn the fingers of the people behind the scenes until their fingers are blistered to ease the resentment in her heart.

"Then give it to them." Yu Tang said coldly, "However, we spent a lot of money to collect Uncle Lu's funeral. If their family wants to take the things back, they have to make up for our family's deficit, right?"

"That's not so good!" Yu Wen objected without thinking too much, "Maybe they are also being used by others."

"If they are not greedy, will they be used by others?" Yu Tang remained unmoved, disdainfully said, "Even if this is a big pit, they are the ones who want to jump in, so why should we blame us for not warning them? Even a three-year-old child knows that there is no such thing as a pie in the sky, he is a patriarch, and he actually believes that there is such a good thing, do we have to tell him the truth that ill-gotten wealth should not be greedy?"

Yu Wen was persuaded by his daughter, and said: "Then what should we say when they come to the door? Do you want money from them directly? How much is appropriate?"

Yu Tang said: "For people like them, the more you directly ask them for money, the less they will be suspicious. Didn't Uncle Lu sell the painting to you for two hundred taels of silver back then? We don't want more, just Two hundred taels of silver is fine."

"So many!" Yu Wen was shocked.

But Yu Tang was confident, and said: "You listen to me, you are right. They can kill people and force marriages for a painting, and it is nothing if they can be settled with money."

Yu Wen agreed with some unease.

Yu Tang asked the Qu family brothers to investigate.

Sure enough, someone urged the Lu family clan to say that one of Lu Xin's relics was worth four or five hundred taels of silver.

Yu Tang pondered for a long time.

When the patriarch of the Lu family came to visit with Lu Xin's so-called heir, Yu Wen didn't go around and asked for two hundred taels of silver. One hundred taels of silver, as for the burial expenses, if I have a fight with his brother, it will be considered that I funded him, forget it."

The family of the Lu family was astonished and asked, "Why so much money?"

Yu Wen drank his tea pretending to be profound.

The Lu family's clan gritted their teeth.

If the painting can be sold for five hundred taels of silver, if the Yu family is given two hundred taels, their family will get more than half of it.

The man is still waiting to draw!

In order to avoid having long nights and dreams, the clan of the Lu family agreed with dripping blood, and immediately went back and borrowed two hundred taels of silver from the person who encouraged them to come to get the relics, sent them to Yu's house, wrote a delivery document, and took Lu Xin's "relics" away. up.

Yu Wen looked at the four big snow-white silver ingots placed on the big round table in the hall, feeling like he was dreaming, 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, "It's just right, it's for my brother to marry a wife." He also joked with his father, "Can I keep the dowry that my mother prepared for me before?"
