Chapter 101 The Four Great Families
"What a heavy rain."

Lu Daoren looked at the sky and said with emotion: "It's like before the earth dragon turns over, the birds and beasts run around, and the guide fails. I don't know how many people are happy and how many people are sad."

Where there are celestial phenomena, there must be omens. This heavy rain is the biggest sign before the switch of Zhuxian Town. When the rain falls on the world, everyone has a chance.

However, the running of the watchman is the servant who announces the official notice, wandering in the streets and alleys, announcing the news.

Those well-established families in Fulu Lane have already made preparations. After receiving the propaganda from the watchmen, they immediately prepared all kinds of pots and pans to take over the rain and dew, and each of them will get a chance to be blessed.

In the Sun's mansion, the white-haired and white-bearded old man Sun sat upright in the middle hall and gave orders: "For this heavy rain, only the young children and the young men of the Sun family who have not reached the crown are required to take on the rain and dew, and the rest Wait, wait with me, a bad old man with half a foot in the coffin."

"Father!" The grandson's eldest son, the contemporary head of the family, showed an incredulous expression, and lost his voice: "There is no shortage of pots and pans at home."

"There is no father here, only the patriarch." Grandpa Sun scolded, "Why, you little bastard want to rebel?"

The Patriarch of the Sun family turned off the fire immediately, and said with great aggrievedness: "The patriarch...the regulations of previous years are not like this."

"It's been like this since this year." Old Master Sun said indifferently, but with an undeniable tone: "Anyone who doesn't listen will be kicked out of Sun's house now, and immediately, immediately, get out of Zhuxian Town."

In an instant, the Sun family hall was silent. Although the old man was domineering, he hadn't said such a thing for decades, and this time he was playing for real.

"Patriarch..." Suddenly a tall young man stood up and bowed

"Second, what's the matter with you?" Grandpa Sun closed his eyes and rested his mind, only opened one eye slightly, and said indifferently
"May I ask the daughter of the Sun family to fetch water as well?" The second master of the Sun family knelt down with a plop, but cold sweat was already dripping on his forehead, and his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.

"Second brother, you are so courageous." Grandpa Sun narrowed his eyes, unable to hear any emotion, he just stated calmly: "I can ask the daughter of the Sun family to fetch water, but do you know what will happen if you violate the family rules? ?”

The second master of the Sun family said in a low voice: "Sun Bin knows, he will be expelled from the Sun family, and will not be buried in the ancestral grave after death."

"Then do you want to choose?" Grandpa Sun asked without waiting for a trace of emotion. From the perspective of those who are familiar with him, this is already an extremely angry state of mind, and there will be thunderous anger at any time.

"Patriarch!"

"Second brother, shut up!"

……

There was an uproar in the lobby of the Sun family. Some people sneered, some looked on, and some dissuaded them, but they couldn't change Sun Bin's mind.

I saw him kowtow, everything is self-evident.

"Then I promise you." Grandpa Sun waved his hand, and said ruthlessly, "The female relatives went out to fetch water, and Sun Wu immediately drove him out of the Sun family. No matter whether he lives or dies, he will never return to Zhuxian Town."

"I obey." Sun Bin bowed again, then got up, and walked outside without looking back.

"Second brother, get down on your knees!" The Patriarch of the Sun family finally couldn't sit still this time, even if it was to pretend to be brotherly, he wanted to come out and say a few words.

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married." A look of exhaustion appeared in the pupils of Old Man Sun, and he waved his hand and said, "Let him go."

The Patriarch of the Sun family trembled, feeling inexplicably that this was not a simple family fight.

Following the female family members one by one, the fish jumped out, and there was a clanging sound, and the watchman got a piece of silver. He was overjoyed and ran towards the next Zhao family.

There are four major families in Fulu Lane, Zhao Qian Sun Li.

Among them, the Zhao family is the most powerful. It is said that some members of the clan have achieved the position of inspection in front of the palace outside, and the official residence is from the third rank.

This rank is not comparable to that of a prince, grand protector, grand master, or lord, but there are all checks in front of the palace and the commanders of the guards and generals.In charge of the guards, guarding the gates, supervising the team battles, and being the chief judge.

That is the so-called Forbidden Army, and those who are in charge of the Forbidden Army must be the ones in the Emperor's heart.

How many coups in the palace began with the mastery of the forbidden army. The position of the leader of the forbidden army is very important, and even a first-rank official would not change it.

The two stone lions in front of Zhao's gate are majestic in appearance and simple in carving. The lion's head is decorated with a mane and a bell is hung around the neck. They are muscular and majestic.

"Damn." The watchman Qin Shou stroked his chin and said with a chuckle, "These two guys are more effective than those golden statues in Taoist temples."

People ask God for protection, but God asks the court to canonize it.

A sacrifice that has not been canonized by the imperial court is an adulterous sacrifice, and it is called an adulterous sacrifice.

There is no blessing in prostitution, but disaster.

There is also a saying that gods are conferred by the imperial court, and officials are also conferred by the imperial court, occupying their positions and nourishing their spirits.

Officials, big and small, can actually be regarded as gods, big and small. What gods can do, officials can do, and what gods can't do, officials can also do.

That being the case, why should officials worship gods, high officials worship minor gods, and their luck is taken away by minor gods, this is a kind of righteousness.

The Zhao family's mansion, entwined with the fate of the country, is a grand god's dojo in the eyes of countless ghosts and gods.

Qin Shou stretched out his rough fingers and knocked on the door of the dojo. After a while, an old man came out and said with a smile, "Thank you for the message."

As he spoke, he took a piece of gold and handed it to Qin Shou's arms.

Qin Shou smiled, and was not polite, took it casually, and said with a compliment: "I think your Zhao family is going to send it out."

This door-to-door message is itself a kind of pleasing.

It's just like when someone wins the first prize, and the official's servant comes to announce the good news, this is a happy event coming to the door, and the host's family wants to win a good fortune.

According to different family backgrounds, ordinary people will send some eggs, wine, and a few happy money.

Such aristocratic families as Zhao Qian, Sun Li, etc., spend a lot of money, and they all give money.

However, giving gold directly like today has never been seen before.

"The housekeeper said it was the last time." The old man didn't know why, but he still told the master's explanation: "It is right to give more."

"Yes, it's the last time." Qin Shou looked up at the foggy sky and said with a smile, "There will never be such a heavy rain again."

"Steward Zhao, let's go home, I have to report."

"It's easy to go." Housekeeper Zhao arched his hand, looking at Qin Shou's figure, a hint of envy appeared in his pupils, it was a little bit harder to beat a watchman, but, according to the ancient rules, there were a lot of benefits to be gained.

For example, this kind of good news that has been passed down for 5000 years has long been ignored by small households. However, aristocratic families with deep roots have always adhered to the rules passed down from their ancestors, and they will give the beater a few taels of silver every time.

And those big clans that are slowly declining, don't know whether it is because of decline and disobedience, or because of disobedience, they are declining.

However, these have nothing to do with his family having children.

Steward Zhao stared at the stone lion in a daze, shook his head for a long time, and closed the door. Those of them who had children in the master's house had no worries about food and clothing, became closer to the master, and were more valued.

However, fate is also tied to the master's family. The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, the more prominent the master's family, the more powerful the steward will be.

That is the Son of Heaven, the prime minister who manages the country for him, is he not a big housekeeper.

Qin Shou went to Qian's family again, only to find that this aristocratic family did not prepare pots and pans to catch the rain, but instead gathered more than a dozen tribesmen who were discussing the separation of the family.

When the guards arrived, the Qian family had almost all their shares. There were only a few scraps of people in the huge door. Three copper coins were issued to get rid of the matter.

"Money is something outside the body."

Mr. Qian showed his leaky teeth and said with a smile, "The Qian family doesn't save money for their children and grandchildren, but only teaches them how to behave."

Qin Shou nodded, looking at the two couplets on the gate of Qian's house.

They are not couplets of congratulations or auspicious words, but two ancestral mottos of the Qian family.

Don't plan for profit alone, but seek for profit in the world; profit for a while, and profit for all ages will seek it even more.

Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be princes.

Thieves will be judged by the law after all, and princes will not be judged by the law of the country, but will be reviled by all generations after all, and it has been recorded in history.

The Qian family does not seek wealth for a lifetime, nor does it seek the position of princes, what they seek is the reputation of the world, and they will truly rest with the country. No matter how you change the dynasty, my Qian family will not fall, and there will be a day when there will be a turnaround.

With a reputation, no matter who is in power, the Qian family will be used after all.

This is the guarantee of credibility.

Qin Shou went far away, and a boy carved in powder and jade walked out of the door of the Qian family, and asked with some puzzlement: "Grandfather, didn't you say that our Qian family is going to become a real family?"

"Why is the family disbanded now, without leaving any money?"

Old Master Qian touched the boy's head, and smiled kindly: "Aristocratic family, those bastards who run around like dogs, are also worthy of being called aristocratic family. Its prosperity is also booming, and its death is also sudden. It's really ridiculous."

The boy from the Qian family was not frightened at all, but nodded in agreement and said: "Mr. Wang from the academy said that what you rely on to rise, you will die because of what you rely on. If you prosper with this, you will die with it. This is the reincarnation of heaven."

"Yes, you can know this, you can be regarded as the true seed of reading."

Mr. Qian nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's not like your fourth and fifth uncles, who have read the book to the stomach of a dog, and are full of sage words, but they are not even a gentleman. At best, they are rotten scholars, and at worst, they are rotten wood."

"The aristocratic family in their eyes is to inherit wealth and honor forever."

"However, there is a cycle of heaven and death, where there is such a good thing."

"The aristocratic family seems to be prominent for a while, but it is actually a blood-sucking insect lying on the big tree of the dynasty. The dynasty is destroyed, and the blood-sucking insect will be better."

"Other people say that the aristocratic family is a disaster. In fact, the last thing you want is the collapse of the dynasty. It is the big aristocratic family, because the big aristocratic family has already occupied the largest share, and I hope to maintain it for a long time."

"Once the dynasty changes, the main family will be destroyed, and the family name will eventually be inherited. It is just a branch, the family tradition, and the inheritance are all lost. What kind of aristocratic family is this?"

"It's just deceiving yourself."

"If this is considered an aristocratic family, then any beggar you find on the street is also a child of an aristocratic family, or a descendant of a noble god."

"The ancestors of the human race are the two god emperors, Yan and Huang. They are all descendants of gods, so there is no distinction between superior and inferior."

The boy of the Qian family was thoughtful: "So most aristocratic families can only last for one or two dynasties, and then decline."

"Grandfather, is there any way to make the Qian family undefeated?"

Old Master Qian chuckled, but his eyes shone with the brilliance of wisdom, and he said slowly: "There is skill, there is a law, and there is a way."

"It is a poor family who establishes a career with art, a noble family who establishes a career with law, and a sage who establishes a career with Tao."

"At the end of the day, there are only two decent households in the nine provinces of the world, one per hole."

"The reason is that Zhang had Dao and Confucius had Confucianism, so they are not destroyed. This is the merit of the three religions."

"As for the Shi family, it is not considered by the aristocratic family to become a monk and keep the precepts. The only hope is that there will be another saint in the world, who will establish a religion and be called the ancestor."

"The hope of the Qian family is in the fourth religion."

Although the boy of the Qian family is young, he also understands the meaning of establishing a religion and calling it the ancestor. His face turned pale and he said, "The fourth largest religion is about to appear! Who is it?"

"Soon, soon." The old man of the Qian family looked into the distance with vicissitudes of eyes and said, "Zhuxian Town no longer exists. Mr. Wang, who claims to be the one of the three religions, is going to come out of the mountain. It's a world of great strife."

The Qian family boy was dumbfounded, the three religions were integrated into one, Mr. Wang, that Mr. Wang who shouted every day to understand the mind and see the nature, and was almost close to the Buddha.

"It's easy to break a thief in the mountains, but it's hard to break a thief in the heart." The old man of the Qian family said in a low voice: "A gentleman doesn't talk about profit, but money is there, how can he not talk about it."

"Not enough, not enough..."

Qian Tongzi only felt a roar in his mind, recalling every word and deed of Mr. Wang.

The master is also a human being, and I am also a human being. A sage can learn from it.

People use it every day.

This kind of speech that puts ordinary people and ordinary people together is not enough in the eyes of grandpa, so what is enough.

The former can also be explained by the equality of all beings in Buddhism. If you take the last step, you don’t even want the skin of Buddhism, you don’t even want the last protective color, and something will be exposed in the end.

The clever boy Qian felt a naked chill welling up in his heart one after another.

The Sun family, the Zhao family, the Qian family... Qin Shou, the watchman, came to the last Li family.

Although the Li family is located in Fulu Lane, the gate is simple, as if a Taoist temple is dressed up, even the handy servants are wearing Taoist clothes and Taoist scarves.

However, there is not a single Taoist crown, the three crowns of lotus flower, wishful thinking, and fish tail, no matter which crown it is, ordinary Taoists can afford it.

Including the current Patriarch of the Li family, he also wears a Hunyuan scarf instead of a Taoist crown.

Compared with the weirdness of the first three families, the Li family is indeed much more normal.

The Patriarch of the Li family looked at the gradually shrinking raindrops, and sighed with emotion: "The light rain on Tianjie is as moist as crisp, and the grass looks far away, but there is nothing near it."

"Uncle Li, what a literary talent!"

Qin Shou gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's as wonderful as the woman in Firework Lane."

The corner of Li Family Patriarch's mouth twitched, pretending that he didn't hear the vulgar words, he turned around and waved his hand, so that men, women, old and young in the mansion began to take over Xiao Yu, even handymen.

One kid who didn't grab the bowl even grabbed the dog bowl, and smiled and picked up the water.

"Everyone has his own destiny."

Qin Shou whispered, left Fulu Lane, and ran to other places to report.

Some families, still remembering the rules of old age, took out pots and pans to fill water, some just forgot, and gave Qin Shou two slings of money, but did not fill water.

There are also some small households who don't believe these words, but their children are eager to play and run out to play in the water.
