The Guan family was finally able to sit together, but under such circumstances.
Yue Dingtang was listed as half of himself and the protagonist who came from afar. Ling Shu was a guest and also got a seat.
Master Guan and Master Guan Si stood on the left and right sides, their faces were cold, and no one paid any attention to the other. Even their eyes occasionally collided, they hurriedly put them aside, for fear of being contaminated with the bad luck of the other party.
Seats are limited, the Guan family is traditional, the female relatives were unable to come in, and the five Guan family brothers did not come.
The first and fourth masters impressed Yue Dingtang so deeply that he could recognize him without introduction.
The second master is the second call.
He leaned on a cane, held a pipe in his mouth, and squinted his eyes slightly. He first stood at the door, looked around, and had a panoramic view of everyone, and then slowly paced over.
"Are you Dingtang?"
The second master's eyes fell on Yue Dingtang without any mistake, and he didn't even glance at Ling Shu, as if he was very sure of his judgment.
Yue Dingtang got up.
"Yes, Uncle Second Biao, I'm Dingtang."
Second Master: "Is there a script?"
Yue Dingtang: "The word is Wude. Wugong's Wugong, virtue's virtue."
The second master thought for a while: "It's just that the killing is a bit heavy."
Yue Dingtang: "Wu De is the year of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, presumably the elders mean this."
The second master stroked his palm and smiled: "So that's the case, I didn't expect this level."
The eldest man snorted coldly when he saw that the two were chatting happily.
Glancing at Ling Shu's expression of looking around at nothing, he felt even more unhappy in his heart.
In his opinion, if it wasn't for Ling Shu who just fanned the flames, how could he be ridiculed by the fourth brother.
Ling Shu noticed the eldest master's gaze and smiled at him specially.
The eldest man thought to himself, this little white face looks strange when he smiles, no wonder the fourth child can't wait to make plans for his own girl, but unfortunately he likes others, but they may not like him. With this surnamed Ling, he must be Qian Jiao at home. The youngest son of a hundred pets, the fourth child's plan this time is likely to fail.
Thinking of this, the eldest master's mood improved a little.
Then came the five masters Guan Shizhi.
This young man with a poetic and romantic name is really similar in age to Ling Shu and the others, but he is dressed in a Chinese tunic suit and walks with high strides, which seems a little out of tune with his brothers.
"Are you Dingtang?"
The fifth master reached out his hand to Yue Dingtang, and seeing that Yue Dingtang also quickly shook his hand, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
"I've heard Dad talk about you for a long time. He said that the three sons of the Yue family are all talents. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation!"
No matter how young the uncle is, he is still the uncle. Judging from the age of the fifth master, this is obviously the beloved son of the old man in his later years. He is young and high-spirited, and he has come back from the West. He is full of confidence and a little proud of young people. Complacency.
Yue Dingtang felt that he always said that Ling Shu was frizzy, but compared with this five-biao uncle, Ling Shu showed Ling Shu's sense of proportion.
"Uncle Wu Biao, I'm Ding Tang, I'm lucky to be able to disturb you."
The fifth master looked around: "Where are the nephews, why didn't you come?"
The second master waved his hand: "They are young. On such occasions, our elders are the masters. We will go back to dinner and let them recognize our cousins who have come from afar."
The fifth master suddenly said: "Second brother, before my death, my father called us all over, saying that there are relics left for us, but we have to wait for the Yue family to come, and then make it public. Now that everyone is here, they are all together. You can take the box out!"
Yue Dingtang looked at the second master.
When he received the letters and telegrams, they only mentioned the death and funeral of the old grandfather of the Guan family. He asked the Yue family to send someone to the funeral. He didn’t mention the so-called relics. , or left something for the Yue family
The second master said to Yue Dingtang: "Yes, since the fifth has said it, I might as well tell you. Before the old man died, he divided the Guan family's belongings into six parts, five of which were distributed to our five brothers, and the other one, the old man. I told us that it must be handed over to you. Because your mother was married back then, and the Guan family did not prepare a dowry for some reason, you should have heard a little about it."
Yue Ding Tang nodded: "My mother occasionally mentioned that she was young and ignorant, which hurt the hearts of the elders."
The second master sighed and said: "Now that the times have changed, these past events will not be mentioned. The old man's meaning, no matter what, your mother's surname is Guan, and she is from the Guan family. This dowry was not given before, and it should be made up later. Even if your mother is gone, the Yue family has to lead it on your behalf, and now that you are willing to come, we can explain something to the old man."
The Yue family did not lack any dowry, but it was related to the father's will and mother, so Yue Dingtang would naturally not refuse.
The second master said to the fifth master again: "Old fifth, what are you in a hurry? The third has not arrived yet. Today, Tang has just arrived. Let him meet all the elders and relatives first. Let's have dinner together in the evening, and pick an auspicious time tomorrow. Everyone shouted a piece, the old man's things are now sealed in the warehouse, and there are five locks on the warehouse, one in each room. Only when everyone is present can the warehouse be unlocked. No one can be greedy, you can rest assured. It is."
The fifth master was not very happy: "Why am I unhappy, I just asked casually. In two months, I will go to the UK for further study. Who can pay for the delay? If you ask every day, that's the big brother. !"
The eldest master slapped the table and stood up: "What did you say, is this your attitude towards the eldest brother!"
Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel again, the second master hurried to smooth things out.
"Okay, it's all my own brothers, the fifth one, and the nephew is still here, you have to look like an elder! We have waited for so long, and it's not too long before Dingtang arrived here from Shanghai after a long journey. Let him get acquainted with him first, walk around, where is the third child, why hasn't the third child come yet?"
While speaking, a servant of the Guan family came to report.
"Second master, third master said he didn't want to come over."
Master Guan Er's face suddenly turned black.
"What do you mean you don't want to come?"
The servant hesitated: "The third master is busy, and he didn't care to talk to the villain at all. The villain said that the young master of the Yue family came over. The third master was indifferent, just waved his hand, and the villain had to come back for business."
"Not good, too bad!"
Master Guan Er said a few words back and forth, but just a few words, neither asked the servants to force them over, nor did he say that he would call them in person, but only gave Yue Dingtang a wry smile.
"Dingtang, your third cousin has a weird temper. He likes woodworking and carving on weekdays. Now he is probably rushing to make something he likes, maybe it is a gift for you. Take you to rest, let's have dinner together later, what do you think?"
A nephew who has never met before is here, and the elder does not speak out, not even a word, how can his temper be weird
Yue Dingtang originally thought that the second master looked normal and reliable, but now it seems that he is just pretending to be a flower skin lantern, and his authority is limited.
He said: "Guests follow the master, it's all up to the second uncle."
The second master also seemed to feel a little embarrassed. He wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and was concerned about the presence of others, and finally just coughed a few times.
"Director He, then you can take Ding Tang and Mr. Ling there."
"Yes."
Ling Shu was in a good mood. He followed behind Mr. He and was still interested in humming a little tune.
However, when they came to the backyard guest room, Ling Shu, who was a condescending child, almost dropped his chin.
Mr. He looked embarrassed, and smiled bitterly at Ling and Yue.
