After paying homage to their ancestors, everyone left the ancestral hall. Father Liu felt that he was extremely tired after a day of hard work, so he simply asked Liu Guangyuan to go out and bring back a table of food and wine. Father Liu even took Mother Liu away, apparently because he didn't want Mother Liu to stay here and talk to Brother Liu Haojia.
Liu Haojia can also understand Liu's mother's mood at this time! The two sons, the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh, but they can lean towards that! When a person inherits a title, his future is guaranteed. Although Liu's father said that he expected Liu Haojia to come back with another title, he also knew that the title was not that easy to get!
After Liu's father and Liu's mother left, Liu Haonian came up with a red face and said, "Xiaoer, I..."
Liu Haojia waved his hand and said: "Brother, you don't need to say anything! I think my father's arrangement is right! And it is easy for me to get the title! Now I have a comprehensive plan, maybe the title will be compared in the future You’re still tall!”
Liu Haonian is several years older than Liu Haojia. He already knows the meaning of the title! But he didn't want to have a grudge with his brother, so he breathed a sigh of relief when Liu Haojia said this and said, "It would be best if you really don't blame me! But my father promised to give you the position of clan leader. In the future, I I must just listen to you! You are much smarter than me!"
Liu Haojia said: "No one listens to the other! We brothers can just discuss it! Besides, if my parents are here, or if there is something that cannot be decided, just let them help make an idea!"
Liu Haonian nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes! That's the truth! We two brothers who work together will definitely be able to honor our ancestors!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "No problem, believe me, the good days of our Liu family are still to come!"
At this point, Liu Haojia shook his body and said, "Now I'm so tired that I'm falling apart! Let's go back to the room and take a rest!"
Liu Haonian felt sour all over when he said this. Fortunately, he practiced martial arts diligently, so he didn't feel too sad. So he said: "Xiao Er, you have to practice more martial arts in the future! Your body is far worse than mine!"
Then the two brothers slowly chatted and went back to their rooms to rest. When Liu Haojia woke up, he was woken up by someone knocking on the door. It was Liu Jinbao who came to call him to eat. He stood up and looked out the window and found that the sky was already dark. After washing up in a hurry, he followed Liu Jinbao to the main hall.
At this time, a banquet table had been set up in the main hall, and the dishes were very rich! It seems that Father Liu is very happy today and is particularly happy to write a book!
Seeing Liu Haojia coming, Liu's mother smiled and asked him to sit down. And when he arrived, everyone was completely present. Seeing this, Father Liu raised his glass and said: "Today is a good day. Our Liu family has moved back to Uncle Gu Ning's house! And the biggest contributor is the waiter! Come on, let's toast to the waiter! Also, today is an exception, you guys A few boys are allowed to drink a few more drinks!”
Liu Haonian and Brother Jin Baoxian immediately cheered! Liu Haojia was still young, so he could only raise his glass with a wry smile. However, when the wine reached his mouth, he found that the wine in his glass was sweet wine, not the high-alcohol wine that Father Liu and the others drank, so he drank it all with confidence!
After everyone toasted each other for a few rounds, they started chatting excitedly while eating! Today is a happy day. Everyone in the Liu family is full of hope and confidence for the future, so cooking and eating are particularly enjoyable!
At the end of the banquet, Father Liu, who was a little tipsy, suddenly said: "What a pity, there are only a few of us in Gu Ningbo's Mansion in Nuo Da, it's too deserted!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this. In the heyday of such a large Gu Ningbo Mansion, there were nearly two hundred clan members and servants, but now there are only seven people at the wine table. It is really too deserted!
Liu Guangyuan, whose face was red from drinking, also sighed and said: "Many of the brothers who left have been lost to contact! If they were all here, today would be a lot more lively!"
Liu Haojia asked: "Uncle Guangyuan, who are you talking about?"
Liu Guangyuan said with a big tongue: "Of course they are the servants!"
Liu Haojia knew that the servants he was talking about were not the servants who worked, but the elite warriors who were indispensable for every general in the Ming Dynasty! They were called generals in the past! The number of servants under each general is determined by his own financial resources!
These servants are almost connected to the life and death of the head of the family! They live to depend on their families and fight for their families! The family protected their family and gave them high salaries. These servants must protect the safety of the family leader when they go to the battlefield, and at the same time help the family leader manage the troops. They are important helpers for a noble family!
Some of these servants changed their surnames to the master's family, and some did not. But their loyalty and status are definitely higher than ordinary service. Even higher than some of the collateral descendants!
Following Liu Guangyuan's narration, Liu Haojia realized that Uncle Gu Ning had six servants when he passed down to his grandfather's generation. But later, the Gu Ningbo Mansion's financial resources were exhausted and it became increasingly difficult to support them, so they had to be dismissed gradually. So by the time Liu's father took over the title, Liu Guangyuan was the only servant left in the Liu family! Moreover, these people are scattered in all directions and have no contact with them for a long time!
After hearing this, Liu Haojia persuaded: "Father, Uncle Guangyuan, you don't have to be sad! In a few years, our Uncle Gu Ning's house will definitely become famous. By then the news will spread everywhere. If they hear the news, they will definitely They will come to seek refuge, and when the time comes we will treat them well and give them more compensation!"
Father Liu nodded repeatedly and said, "That's the truth!"
At this time, Liu Guangyuan suddenly said: "Master, do you still remember? A few years ago, Guangting came to the capital to kowtow to the master. At that time, I remembered that he said that he had settled down in Tianjin! If you look for it, you might be able to find it. he!"
Father Liu was very interested in this proposal, but Liu Haojia didn't want to let some ignorant people into the house, so he said, "Uncle Guangyuan, is this person reliable?"
Liu Guangyuan patted his chest and said: "Second Young Master, don't worry, Guangting is absolutely reliable! He is like me. He has been in the Liu family for several generations, and he has changed his surname with the great ancestor long ago! Besides, if he is not reliable, he will be the first few years old." I won’t come to kowtow to the master in the new year! I remember at the time that he was helping people deliver goods to the capital, and he came here with this time!"
Liu Haojia said resolutely: "Uncle Guangyuan, don't blame me for being careless. Our family is different from the past. We have the secret recipe for snow candy hidden in our house, so we can't let people into the house easily! Moreover, there will be more and more secrets in our family in the future, so we should be careful. It’s better to click!”
