Chapter 6 Persuading to Go Home
"Okay!" Liu Yi nodded and walked towards the door.
"No! Our family has only three generations. If we let the big dog become a monk, our family's incense will be cut off!"
As soon as he entered the door, he heard his father's distressed voice.
"Jinguang Temple is a royal temple, and Master Lingkong is highly respected. He has taken a fancy to Liu Yi and wants to accept him as his direct disciple. This is Liu Yi's blessing. It is better than farming at home!" a voice advised.
"No wonder Liu Changqing came forward!"
After hearing these words, Liu Yi immediately understood what happened. It must be that Ling Kong failed to accept a disciple yesterday, so he went to Liu Changqing and asked him to handle the matter. All of Liu Changqing's family property came from managing the land of Jinguang Temple.
Lingkong is the senior brother of the abbot of Jinguang Temple. His status in Jinguang Temple is not equal. Liu Changqing did not dare to disobey, so he made this incident.
At this moment, another voice rang: "Dad Liu, I think Eryadan is a good child. If you are afraid of losing your relationship, I will let my Hesheng boy marry your Eryadan now."
, when the time comes when the child is born, his surname will be Liu!"
When Liu Yi heard it, he knew it was Li Zheng's voice.
"No, Er Yadan is only twelve years old, we can't get married so early!" Liu's father refused.
"Twelve years old is not young anymore, you are already a family!" Li Zheng persuaded.
"No, it's too young. If I give birth to a child, I'm afraid it will kill someone." Liu's father still disagreed.
"Then get engaged first and wait two years before getting married!" Li Zheng settled for the next best thing.
"What a wishful thinking!" Liu Yi sneered in his heart after listening to Li Zheng's words. Li Zheng's words not only blocked his father's words about ending the relationship, but also found a wife for his own son. And today
The things Liu Changqing sent will naturally fall into the hands of his family in the future.
Liu Yi naturally knows Li Zheng's son He Sheng. Although he is not a bad person, he is also an idle guy. Not to mention that Liu Mei is only twelve years old, and will only be fourteen in two years. Even though Liu Mei has grown up, he also
Liu Mei must not be allowed to marry into such a family.
"How's it going? Dad Liu, Master Liu has worked hard for your family Liu Yi. Just by reducing the rent by 10% every year, Master Liu loses at least thirty taels of silver every year. Not to mention, Master Liu also
I brought so many things. If you agree to this, the whole village will be grateful and virtuous to you. I have let the word out. If you don't agree, go out and talk to the villagers about this!"
He continued to speak, and at the end of his words, he already had a threatening tone.
"No wonder! No wonder!" Liu Yi finally understood why. When he entered the village, the villagers looked at him with such eager eyes, as if they were welcoming some high-ranking official. It turned out that his becoming a monk was still involved.
for their benefit.
"What a powerful Ling Kong! What a powerful Liu Changqing!" Thinking of this, Liu Yi admired in his heart. If they did this, unless the Liu family agreed to this, they would not be able to live in the village.
Then, another voice sounded. Although the voice was gentle, it carried a touch of majesty.
"Dad Liu, I won't hide it from you. The Liu family started by managing the property of Jinguang Temple. The words of the elders of Jinguang Temple are more useful to me than anyone else. In this matter, if I, Liu Changqing,
If you do it well, I will have face with the elders of Jinguang Temple, and everyone will have a good life!"
"But..." At this point, Liu Changqing's words turned violent: "If you don't agree, the elders of Jinguang Temple will be dissatisfied, will doubt my ability to do things, and will take back my right to manage the Jinguang Temple's property. By then,
, the Liu family will also be ruined. Father Liu, Liu Yi is the elder's direct disciple. If I have no choice, I don't want to offend your Liu family, so I will give you a big gift and give you good words. But if things are really forced.
If we take that step, I, Liu Changqing, can only resign myself to fate!"
His words were full of persecution. Although he did not say that he would definitely destroy the Liu family before it was destroyed, the meaning behind it was unspoken.
"What should we do?" Liu's father made a living by farming. He was an honest man and had not experienced much in the world. At this time, after Li Zheng and Liu Changqing said this in both soft and hard words, he immediately ran out of ideas and could only sigh.
"Dad Liu, isn't he just a monk? Anything is better than living a hard life here. Moreover, Li Zheng also said just now that he is willing to let the eldest son of his family marry your Er Ya Dan as his aunt, and have a child.
If you have a child and still have the surname Liu, your family's incense will not be cut off. Today is a good day, in my opinion? Just nod and send Liu Yi to Jinguang Temple. The elders have invited Master Liu for his sake. I will pay him back in the future.
You can lose him! Tell me, is this the truth? Secondly, if you nod again, today you will let Eryadan and He Sheng get engaged, and the matter of your family's incense will also be solved. This is called
Double happiness!”
Another old voice persuaded, and Liu Yi could also hear it. The oldest old man in the village here was Wang Sanhei's grandfather, named Wang Shan.
"Dad Liu, as long as you let Liu Yi go to Jinguang Temple to become a monk, your family's land rent will be free of charge. I, Liu Changqing, won't charge you any money. What do you think?" Liu Changqing persuaded again.
"Oh, Father Liu, why are you so stubborn? Master Liu has said so, why do you still refuse to nod?" Li Zheng sighed, deeply feeling that Liu's father gave up this great opportunity and was unfairly punished.
"I disagree!"
Liu Yi listened for a long time and knew that if he didn't go out, Liu's father might not be able to cope with the scene in front of him, so he shouted loudly and walked into the house proudly.
"Who disagrees?" Li Zheng shouted loudly in the room, but when he saw Liu Yizhi coming in, his voice suddenly stopped.
Liu Yi looked around. The room was not big, but there were six or seven people crowded together. Except for a shrewd middle-aged man who was sitting, and his father squatting in a corner of the room, sighing sadly, the rest of the people were all standing.
Among them were Li Zheng and Wang Shan who had just spoken, and that shrewd man was, of course, Liu Changqing. Behind him, there was a middle-aged man wearing a blue gown with a slightly bookish air. It seemed that he should
I came with Liu Changqing.
Liu Changqing reacted very quickly. He immediately knew who the visitor was when he saw everyone's expressions. He quickly stood up and said with cupped hands: "Liu Shi's nephew, a man of British talent, really has a good appearance. No wonder the wise abbot would personally issue the decree, let him
Changqing will handle this matter!"
"Yes! This kid Liu Yi is the top boy in our Erlihe Village!" Wang Shan praised his old man.
Seeing Liu Yi appear, Liu's father was relieved and stood up: "Big dog, you are back!"
"Dad, I'm back!" Liu Yi nodded to his father first, and then greeted Liu Changqing: "Master Liu is here. He lives in a humble house and has no tea to serve guests. Please don't blame Master Liu!"
Liu Changqing's eyes lit up. He came here under a wise order, which was not what he wanted. With his original intention, a young farm boy like him could coax him into obediently paying a deposit with a few words of threats and a few large sums of money.
At the gate of Guang Temple. However, this matter was extremely important to his family, so he gathered his family members and asked if anyone knew Liu Yi, which led to Xiao Lian.
After he listened to Xiaolian's story about Liu Yi, he took a high look at the young man. A young man who relied on collecting firewood to support himself in school must have high aspirations. If he tried to persuade Liu Yi the same way he would deal with ordinary farm boys.
, I was afraid that he would hit his head and bleed. Then he changed his mind and persuaded Li Zheng and Wang Shan, the longest in the village, with a large sum of money. He also thought that Erlihe's rent reduction was a real thing and forced the Liu family to agree.
But now, when he saw Liu Yi with his own eyes, he couldn't help but admire his ability to predict things. How could such a young man who made people feel like spring breeze as soon as he spoke his words could be compared with ordinary farm boys.
"No wonder Elder Lingkong wants to accept this young man as his disciple, he is really extraordinary!" Liu Changqing thought to himself, with a smile on his face and Liu Yi cupped his hands and said: "I came here uninvited and acted as a bad guest. I don't dare to treat you as a minor.
Brother serves tea!”
After listening to the conversation between Liu Changqing and Liu Yi, Wang Shan and Li Zheng looked at each other with shock in their eyes. With the Liu family's financial status, there was no need to show such an attitude even when meeting the magistrate of the county.
Low. Before they came, they had tried their best to look high, but now they discovered that their best effort to look high was to keep their eyes below the waist.
"Master Liu said something serious." Liu Yi smiled calmly.
"Don't call me master. If you think highly of me, Liu Changqing, please call me Yuanwai Liu, or Brother Liu!" Liu Changqing said with great generosity as he was able to take care of the property of Jinguang Temple.
"Then I will flatter you and call you Yuanwai Liu!" Liu Yi replied.
"Okay!" Although Liu Changqing nodded, he was still a little unhappy in his heart. Seeing that the young man in front of him was definitely not a thing in the pool, if he could establish a relationship with him, it would be a huge investment.
"I heard clearly what happened outside Liu just now. I have made a decision in my heart..." Liu Yi said this and paused.
"How?" Liu Changqing asked anxiously. With his status, he shouldn't be so anxious, but this matter is too important to him.
"Since Master Lingkong loves the boy so much, if the boy continues to be pretentious, wouldn't he be betraying his old man's good intentions!"
The reason why Liu Yi agreed to become a monk was not because he wanted to become a monk, but because he had to do so. Liu Changqing's series of tricks simply hit the Liu family's weak point. If the Liu family agreed, although it cannot be said that it would skyrocket.
But there is absolutely no problem in living a well-off life. If his family does not agree, not only will the Liu family take back the land they rent, but also his family will not be able to live in this village.
If it were in later generations, Liu Yi would not be able to move his family. Leaving here and supporting the whole family with his own hands would not be a problem. But now it is the Jin Dynasty. Except for scholars and monks, they can roam around the Jin Dynasty at will.
If the rest of the people want to leave the county, they must go to the government to issue a road note, and there is a stipulated time limit on it.
In addition, Liu Yi always felt that Ling Kong was an extremely unusual person. After all, the other party solved his confusion with one word. He should also be a practitioner. Liu Yi would not feel ashamed if he could worship a practitioner as his master.
