"Brother, I'm polite."

Li Yu entered the gate of Xiao Tong's house and began to salute in the yard.

"Oh, it's my brother who is here. Brother Yu has returned the gift. Brother Yu, please come in the house."

After breakfast, Xiao Tong was still in various rooms in the freshly-fried courtyard. Last night, he drank with his neighbors in the middle of the night. Xiao Tong had not had time to watch this new home and new home.

After getting up today, I had time to check it carefully. The more I looked, the more I felt more comfortable. The clean courtyard, except for two or three soil nests that had planted trees, I couldn’t even find any mud in other places.

The cement floor is flat and sturdy, and the wives and concubines are not only satisfied with this new home, but also satisfied.

Even the Chang'an County Government Office has become a comparable shack compared to this place.

The old mother lived on the couch, which was as warm as spring. The whole house was warm on the fire and there was no trace of smoke and fire.

Just as I was happy, I saw Li Dalang, who had already arrived in the yard.

"Brother, I don't know if my aunt has ever gotten up and wait for me to come and ask me some peace of mind, so that we brothers can also talk about some serious matters."

Hearing this, Xiao Tong immediately straightened his body and owed his waist;

"I am worried about my brother, Jiaci has already gotten up and eaten it."

He took Li Yu into the east of the main hall, and in the upper house, Li Yu had not yet entered, but he heard the old woman's voice, old and joyful;

"But my son Dalang is here?"

After walking into the house a few steps, the kind old woman was sitting on the clean couch, looking at the door with a smile, waiting for Li Yu to enter.

"I've met my aunt, so I'm fine."

"My son get up quickly, how come there are so many rules?"

The kind old woman hurriedly reached out and helped her in the air.

"Auntie, I spent several hours yesterday and changed my residence. I don't know if my aunt is resting, and I am used to it?"

The old woman held Li Yu's arm intimately and smiled happily;

"Okay, okay, I'm worried about it, thanks to your care, this family has not only saved the hard work of returning to Sichuan,

It is really a happy event to be able to live in such a grand new house, and everything is fine in old age.

But my son's head is not tall.

On weekdays, you have to eat more meat. It is said that you will not lose weight if you have strong strength, but you will be taller."

Before Li Yu could speak, Xiao Tong, who moved into his new home, excitedly interjected;

"My mother, my brother is only in his teens and will grow up in the future..."

"I'm not arrogant, I'm talking to my nephew, and I want you to remind me,

Just moving a new house will make you so proud that you will not even care about the rules and etiquette. What kind of morality will you become! Can you still be a great person in the future?"

The old woman interrupted her son easily, obviously feeling a little dissatisfied. She scolded her softly, and looked unhappy on her face.

Before Xiao Tong finished his words, he was interrupted by the words "Pride". He knew that he had caused trouble.

He quickly bent down and waited until his mother finished speaking before he persuaded him in a low voice;

"Please calm down, please calm down, I will never dare to do it again."

Xiao Tong's two wives and concubines heard the movements in the room outside and hurried in.

Seeing that his man was being trained, he was not easy to talk and was serving him properly by the bed.

This descendant of Xiao He of the Han Dynasty was really rigorous in rules and was a mother's speech.

As a son, Xiao Tong could not interrupt him randomly. Li Yu sighed that this family style is so enviable.

In order to rescue Xiao Tong, Li Yu quickly said to the old lady;

"You have to report to your aunt, your nephew wants to say something to your brother, and you have to entrust some big things."

The old woman on the bed switched to her gentle smile again;

"Go quickly, don't delay major issues for the old woman."

"Aunt, we're going now."

"well,

Tie Niu, Lao Shi nags you a few words."

"Yes, please speak in person, and keep your teachings in mind."

Xiao Tong, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped again and stood up again, with an extremely respectful attitude.

Since there was something to say, Li Yu would wait quietly.

The old woman looked out the window with a calm expression and spoke steadily, as if she remembered the glory of her ancestors again;

"Our Xiao family has been glorious for more than a hundred years, and we have followed the King of Han to fight for the whole world.

He was once a Duke and Marquis, but now he is in decline. He knows that it is God's will.

As the saying goes, flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are always good. It has been very good for more than a hundred years. How can ancestors continue to be prosperous for generations?

When you were the county magistrate in Chang'an, you worked hard for the people and worked diligently and dedicated to the public. You are very clear in your body and mind.

But when I don’t wait for me, it’s because my destiny should not be reconciled to the glory of my family in this generation.

It’s not your fault. Now that you left the officialdom and followed Dalang to Lantian, you have a little regret. The scenery of your ancestors may be difficult to restore in your hands.

However, we have no backing behind us. With your own strength, it is really not easy to achieve something.

It's good now. Once we leave the officialdom, the whole family will be at ease.

Secondly, with Dalang, you can also accumulate some wealth and create some foundation for the descendants of the Xiao family so that future generations can accumulate wealth when the time is ripe.

In the future, if you follow Dalang, you will be as strict as you are in Chang'an County, and behave yourself and behave yourself in a manner. Don't be able to do your best to catch those money that does not belong to you. Do you know?"

"Reply to my mother, I remember."

"Go, just remember. Follow Dalang to do things, endure more hardships, don't be afraid of fatigue, strength is a slave, and I will return it after I use it, so I won't talk too much. Go and talk about serious things quickly."

"yes."

"My nephew has surrendered."

The two brothers walked out one after another, Xiao Tong smiled;

"My brother, why not go to the west wing and sit down and talk in detail, how about it?"

"Okay, by the way, my aunt is nearly 70 years old, but her mind is so clear. She speaks and acts according to the rules, which is really true."

Li Yu and Xiao Tong walked and chatted, and then entered the hall of the wing room.

After the two of them sat down, Xiao Tong replied;

"My brother doesn't know that Jiaci has a good background. He is a noble family in the previous dynasty and has read a lot of books.

In this great principle, it is not ambiguous at all. My family is the authentic bloodline of Xiao.

When Aye was alive, he was the leader of the Xiao clan in the previous generation. He was rigorous in his family style and had many rules. He must not be used to it."

Li Yu smiled awkwardly; "It's indeed a bit restrained, but it's not harmful to be strict with the younger generation."

"By the way, my brother came here today and said there was something important, but I wonder what he was asking for?"

Li Yu thought about it before speaking slowly;

"My brother just came to the new place, so he should be familiar with it for a while. Besides, it's not too late to talk about the serious business.

However, in Lijiazhuang today, there are too many things to do, so I can only bother my brother to help me.”

"Your brother doesn't have to say those polite words. You and my brother are in a fight. You and I have nothing to say, and you are familiar with. Just say it directly, how do you want your foolish brother to act."

Li Yu smiled awkwardly. He wanted to say something, but he directly exposed the Western scenery. He had been a county magistrate, and he couldn't give him these two tricks.

"That's right. We didn't talk about the large winemaking workshop on the way. Today, I didn't sleep until Si Shi,

Early this morning I discussed with the clan leader and the clan elder with the nineteen surnames of my family.

Just after you came to you, you just did it as planned. However, the two managers in our mansion were justified in handling things in the mansion, but such major issues seemed a little stretched.

So I want to ask my elder brother to come forward and serve as the chief manager of winemaking. All the things related to winemaking will be entrusted to my elder brother, including the future granary and the acquisition of rice.

How to carry out all brewing workshops, how to deal with each small workshop, how to coordinate, etc.

I can’t say it well, anyway, I have to nod my head in everything related to brewing wine. I won’t have to worry about anything I’ll do with it in the future, so as not to command randomly, and put the cart before the horse.”

Xiao Tong was not afraid of these things. Chang'an County had a population of hundreds of thousands and he had a lot of things. He had done all kinds of things and said that this winemaking workshop?

"My brother, I have nothing to say. I am just a person from outside. As soon as I came here, I took the power. This is not suitable."

Li Yu didn't talk about these things or not. These five farms are his kingdom.

"Don't worry, brother, that's right, the merchants in our village are different from other places and will not exclude you.

Besides, I am the master here, the biggest one!
