The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 17 Brother Changle Is Too Bad
The members of the Yang family watched Lu Changle get into the carriage and drive away.

"Ah Fu, follow up and see what the surname Lu is doing?" Yang Xuan ordered with a cold face.

This shameless guy dared to go to Yang's territory to make a fuss about himself, but in fact he wanted a carriage,

See what he wants to do.

Ah Fu is a loyal servant of the Yang family, he responded loudly when he heard the words, and quickly followed on horseback.

"Miss, what should we do now?" Hong Ling asked with some worry.

What would I do if Miss became the maidservant of Mr. Lu?
Yang Xuan said calmly: "Last night, I heard from my father that the Lu family is in serious trouble and owes a lot of tax money to the government. I heard that even the tea mountain, which is regarded as the lifeblood, is also looking for a buyer. Be patient, there will be a chance."

Thinking of losing the ring, losing water, and even losing his own people, Yang Xuan's pretty face turned cold with anger,

Gritting his teeth, he said, "That shameless Lu Changle is really hateful. If he falls into the hands of this lady, he will definitely make his life worse than death."

When Yicheng came home, the dream of the female general had just begun, so Lu Changle poked it with a handful of spicy powder,
Yang Xuan's silver teeth were about to be crushed.

Soon, news related to Lu Changle continued to come back:

Lu's children caused trouble in Changle City, and were punished by the yamen to clean the streets and ditches;
Lu Changle borrowed two horse-drawn carts to transport away the cleaned up garbage, together with the silt dug out of the ditch;

The garbage and silt were transported back to Xingping Village by horse-drawn cart. It is said that the silt, garbage and the dirt from the huts should be mixed together as fertilizer, which can be used for farming;
"I thought that shameless person had some evil idea, but I didn't expect to do such despicable things, it really is short-sighted." Yang Xuan said with a look of disdain.

The Lu clan in Fuzhou has strict rules and regulations, and the chance of fighting among the same clan is very small.

It is estimated that the shameless people took aim at those silt and night fragrance, and were reluctant to spend money.
He deliberately found an excuse and was fined, and then transported back in a free carriage for composting.

A little person who has never seen the world is just that promising.

Hong Ling said with some worry: "Miss, the carriage is ours, Mr. Lu"

"What son, you are a shameless person." Yang Xuan interrupted.

"Yes, yes, yes, miss." Hong Ling stuck out her tongue in fright, and said worriedly: "Shameless people don't care about horsepower, so what if the horse is exhausted?"

Yang Xuan said calmly: "I just hope that he will break the carriage, then we will have a chance to make trouble."

"Miss, what shall we do now?"

"There is no rush, change should be the same, look at the situation first and then make a decision."

I haven't figured out Lu Changle's purpose yet, so I can only wait for the opportunity.

Fortunately, after Lu Changle borrowed the carriage, he did not threaten any further.

These days, Yang Xuan has been pretending to be hurt at home. Apart from being afraid of cashing in, she is also afraid of facing the eyes of the clansmen.

The rhetoric before the group arena became a joke, and it also failed the expectations of the clansmen.

Fortunately, Dad's reputation is still there, and the clansmen also expressed their understanding of the defeat.

With so many experts in the clan, it is impossible to push all the responsibility to Yang Xuan.

Besides, no one thought that Lu's behavior would be so low that he didn't even want face.

Fights were not like this in the past, it must be the ghost of that shameless person.

Yang Xuan didn't understand Lu Changle's actions, nor did his ancestors, second uncle and others.

I took a few clansmen to the city to raise money, but the money was not found, but kept transporting things to the village.

If gold and silver, grain, cloth and silk are easy to talk about,

See what's going on,
Silt, garbage, and feces that make people want to vomit,
Has anyone shipped these to their home?
Lu Changhe and Lu Changzhen were all tired and wronged,
When they returned to the village, they complained to their elders, saying that Mr. Lu Changle had avenged himself and deliberately tormented everyone.
Fatty Uncle, Lu Jinqing and the others laughed without saying a word, standing aside and watching the joke,

Second Uncle and Lu Jinyuan wanted to kick Lu Changle twice,

Speaking of raising money, why do you do these inconsequential things?

Look at the rich family. These days, they are rushing to make tea while contacting merchants.
Let the word out early, the number of spring tea handed over to the public housing at least doubled today,
I didn't see that the fat man has become a smiling Buddha in high spirits these days,
I don't know what Lu Changle said to the ancestor, but after returning, he whispered a few words to the ancestor,
The ancestors released the words "let him torment",
Otherwise, Lu Jinyuan would have taken care of him long ago.

Regardless of the opinions of the clansmen, Lu Changle took all the things he brought back to the unoccupied materials room at the east end of the village where there were piles of sundries.

It is filtering and burning, and from time to time, colorful lights emerge,
Nobody knew what he was doing.

The deadline for tax payment is getting closer day by day, and all the clansmen are crazy busy trying to raise money.

It was a bit late at first, but it gradually faded away, allowing him to toss.

On the second day after they brought back the trash from the city, Lu Changhe, Lu Changsheng and the others had a 180-degree change in their attitude towards Lu Changle:

Lu Changle sat on a bamboo shaker and ordered loudly:

"Monkey, wash those rubbish with water several times, don't feel troublesome"

"Changhe, haven't you had enough to eat, stir harder"

"It's better for Changzhen to do things carefully, how fine the sieve is, and then sieve it again, and the material can be cut at night."

"Xiao Biao, don't think it stinks, what shit, the ancestors said, it is the gold in the field, work hard, and the chicken legs will be yours at night"

No matter what you are ordered to do, just swear a few words, no one is dissatisfied, let alone talk back,
All instructions are executed unconditionally.

After conducting for a long time, Lu Changle felt a little dry mouth, picked up the teapot next to him,
empty.

Just about to add water, Lu Changhe at the side saw it, ran over quickly, and said flatteringly, "Brother Changle, you sit down, I'll come, I'll come."

Soon, the hot tea came, and Lu Changhe carefully poured tea for Lu Changle.

If Lu Jinyuan was here, he would probably be jealous, his nephew had never respected him so much.

"Changhe, thank you for your trouble."

"What are you talking about? This is what it should be, Brother Changle, you drink, I'll go to work," Lu Changhe said energetically.

At the beginning, Lu Changhe was very dissatisfied with Lu Changle, thinking that what he did was unreliable,

Not only did Lu Changle speak ill of Lu Changle behind his back, but he also provoked him many times.
If it weren't for the clan rules, they would have rebelled long ago.

It was last night that Changhe Lu changed his attitude,
In front of everyone, Lu Changle smelted a piece of gold weighing five taels from the pile of garbage and silt.
It's really gold, Changhe Lu himself bit it with his teeth,

From that moment on, everyone's attitude towards Lu Changle changed drastically, including Lu Changhe.

Gold can be smelted out of mud, that is a god-man,

With such a person, the future is bright.

Besides, Lu Changle assures everyone,

After finishing this task, he will apply to his ancestors for a reward of no less than five taels of silver per person,

People are more motivated and have a better attitude.

Lu Changle looked at Lu Changhe's back, smiled, and tasted the tea happily.

The tea has a pleasant fragrance and a long tea rhyme. It is Fangshan dew buds brought in from the ancestors.

Every year, the clan reserves some good tea to honor the ancestors, and Lu Changle has the cheek to ask for it.

Song Huizong commented on Fangshan Luya in the preface of "Daguan Tea Theory": "If tea is a thing, it is good at the elegance of Europe and Fujian, and the spiritual endowment of Zhong Shanchuan, dispels prohibitions and stagnation, and leads to clearness and harmony, then it is not a mediocrity. You know what you get, the middle is smooth and clean, and the rhyme is high and quiet."

Not only Song Huizong, but also more than a hundred poets from Tang to Qing have chanted this tea, but it is a pity that it gradually disappeared in the long river of history at the end of Qing Dynasty.

If there is an opportunity to taste it, Lu Changle will naturally not miss it.

"Yo, isn't this Changle, it's idle."

Just as he was closing his eyes and trying to rest his mind, a voice sounded. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the person who came was his competitor, Lu Changfu.

"It turned out to be Brother Changfu, what kind of wind brought you, a busy person here." Lu Changle stood up and said with some surprise.

Lu Changfu looked around, covered his nose with a fragrant towel, and said with some distaste: "It stinks, Changle, aren't you a scholar? What are you thinking? Why, retting can produce golden eggs?"

I heard from the clansmen that Lu Changle has changed, become smart and capable,

Some people say that Lu Changle is Zhuge Liang from the Lu family in Fuzhou.

Lu Changfu didn't care on the surface, but he was a little nervous inside.
I'm afraid that Lu Changle will take the position of the standard bearer.

From the observations these days, plus his own on-site inspection, Lu Changfu finally felt relieved.

Said to go to the city to raise money, but ended up raising a bunch of stinky stuff,
Many people in the clan bent over laughing,

Such a person, how could he be his opponent.

Lu Changhe, who was working, couldn't help but chuckle, took a peek at Lu Changle, who was feigning embarrassment, and quickly continued to work.

I don't know, it's really possible to retch golden eggs here, I even bit them last night.

Brother Changle is too bad, he doesn't show the mountains or show the water, it's this time, he still pretends,
Forget it, just wait and see Brother Changfu slap his face, just like Brother Changwei did back then.

Lu Changle nodded and said, "I had a dream last night, and I really dreamed of retting golden eggs."

"Hahaha" Lu Changfu couldn't help laughing out loud anymore, he squatted on the ground covering his stomach, almost laughing.

Finally stopped laughing, Lu Changfu stood up, patted Lu Changle on the shoulder and said: "Changle, you are a scholar in the clan, follow me in the future, I will guarantee you good food and spicy food."

"Then thank Brother Changfu for taking care of him first." Lu Changle expressed his gratitude with a smile.

Seeing Lu Changfu smiling so happily, he couldn't bear to interrupt.

Laugh, and soon you won't be able to.

Lu Changfu took out a bag of tea from his sleeve, and put it on the table casually: "This year's new tea, except for the ancestors and clan elders, only you have this blessing."

Let's see what Lu Changle is doing, and by the way, win over her.

Dad is right, Lu Changle is a scholar, he can write and count, he is a talent, there is no harm in trying to win him over.

"Thank you"

Lu Changle's thank you came from the bottom of my heart.

They are all from the same ancestor, connected by blood, and there is no deep hatred between them,

It's competition, and it's healthy competition.
This is also the reason why the Lu family in Fuzhou is still standing.

Although Lu Changfu looked down on him a bit, he didn't make trouble behind his back.
Lu Changfu chatted a few words in a calm manner, then found an excuse and left in a hurry.

It's dirty and smelly, and there's a rancid smell in the air.

I'm used to smelling the fragrance of tea leaves, and smelling the smell again, I feel like throwing up the food I ate last night.

Lu Changle picked up the tea bag and put it under his nose to smell it, a tempting scent of tea was refreshing,

Throwing the tea bag in his hand, a smile appeared on Lu Changle's mouth: "It's interesting."
