The third room of the Sun family.
Sun Zhuangyuan announced in public: "My husband has decided that the three families will be separated."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a deep-water torpedo exploded in the water, making everyone dizzy and at a loss, unable to react for a long time.
Why divide
Confused yet
After Sun Zhuangyuan announced his decision, he didn't want to say more, and didn't give everyone enough time to react, so he left the lobby.
The eldest son, Sun Minrong, came to his senses first and hurried after him.
"Father, we must not separate the clans! Our third family will become sinners of the Sun family!"
Sun Zhuangyuan looked up at the sky.
The Sun family has been rich for hundreds of years.
The house they live in now has a history of two to three hundred years, older than Guo Zuo of Da Zhou. A deep house in the true sense.
So much so that the ancestral halls were moved from Dingzhou to the capital.
Every year, sacrifices are held in the capital.
The main members of each Fangtou in the clan, regardless of direct branch or side branch, gather in the ancestral hall.
That scene was shocking.
It can be said that the ancestral hall of the Sun family is larger than the Fengxian Hall of the royal family, and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
The number one family in the world is by no means in vain.
A big family and a big business will inevitably breed acne and evil.
Sun Zhuangyuan looked back at his son, "Do you think this old man is a fool?"
The corners of Sun Minrong's mouth trembled, isn't he just a fool
"The son just doesn't understand. Okay, why did the father suddenly make this decision? Splitting the clan, this is a big deal. Why didn't the father discuss it with everyone in advance?"
Sun Zhuangyuan laughed at himself, "I will discuss with you, will you agree?"
Sun Minrong's face turned pale, "Son really won't agree, but father..."
"How long has it been since you went back to the ancestral house in Dingzhou?" Sun Zhuangyuan interrupted his son and asked.
Sun Minrong was stunned for a moment, "I went back a few years ago."
Sure enough!
Sun Zhuangyuan knew it in his heart, "You know what the Dingzhou people did, right?"
Sun Minrong's face changed slightly, full of surprise.
"Is someone talking nonsense in father's ear? Father told his son who is slandering the Sun family."
"So you know everything about Dingzhou."
"My son just heard it a little bit, so he can't take it seriously." Sun Minrong said.
Sun Zhuangyuan smiled sarcastically, "Is this old man really confused? You are in charge of the house, and this old man asks you, do you know the accounts of the public school?"
Sun Minrong said: "The accounts of the public school are all managed by the Bai family."
"The old man is not talking about the account of the third house, but the public account of the clan. Are you clear?"
Sun Minrong nodded, "My son is clear, every year the accounts are accounted for, and each house will send someone to reconcile the accounts."
"Then tell me, is the income of the family enough to support the expenses? If there is a deficit, is it filled by the ancestral house in Dingzhou? Where did the ancestral house in Dingzhou get so much money to fill the deficit? Talk to the old man carefully." Said."
Sun Zhuangyuan pressed on every step of the way.
Sun Minrong's forehead was sweating, and his heart felt guilty.
Suddenly, he became tough again, "Who does father listen to nonsense? Is it because of this matter that we have to divide the clan? Before father made this decision, did he ask us a question?"
Sun Zhuangyuan's face darkened, "I'm not dead yet, making you a housekeeper doesn't mean you are the owner of the third room. I'm the head of the third room. Of course, I can make decisions about the third room, and I don't need to ask for your opinions."
"Father is trying to drive our third family to a dead end!"
Sun Zhuangyuan smiled coldly, "Either the sect is divided, or the head is killed, how do you choose?"
Sun Minrong was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Sun Zhuangyuan sighed, "I don't want to go this far either, but I have no choice but to ride a tiger."
"How could this be?" Sun Minrong muttered to himself.
"Do you really think that no one knows what the Dingzhou people did? The palace has long been eyeing our Sun's family, secretly investigating, and every investigation is accurate."
"Could it be because of this little thing that we are being forced into such a situation? The Sun family is the most powerful family in the world, a leading figure in the literary world. Countless people in the court government have received favors from our Sun family. Why is it like this?"
After all, Sun Minrong was unwilling to accept this result.
Sun Zhuangyuan smiled wryly, "Because of the influence of the Sun family from the court to the literary world, the tree is very popular, and there is still a way to survive if you divide the clan. If you don't divide the clan, don't expect the palace to give you a high hand. This old man will only tell you that if you If the news spreads, the palace will pursue it, don't blame the old man for not thinking about the relationship between father and son."
Sun Minrong's face turned pale, "Father wants to force his son to death!"
Sun Zhuangyuan said with a straight face, "put away your delusional thoughts, you want to fan the flames and stir up court struggles, you are seeking your own death. Dividing the clan will kill you. If you persist in the corner, someone will be killed one day."
Sun Minrong was in a cold sweat, "Did Father ever think that once the clan is divided, what hope do we have for the third family?"
"Do you not trust the old man, or do you not trust yourself? Branching out may not be a dead end. There may be opportunities in another village."
"A promise from the palace?"
Sun Zhuangyuan thought about it and said: "As long as we cooperate in the affairs of Guangong, it will give us a chance. Maybe we, the third house, have a chance to overwhelm the eldest house."
Speaking of suppressing the big house, Sun Zhuangyuan's tone was vaguely excited.
It really is difficult to understand!
A good champion with a bright future!
Just because the eldest daughter became the princess, he had to sacrifice his official career, and he was lonely for decades.
If there is a chance for revenge, he clenches his fists tightly, he really doesn't mind giving Da Fang a heavy hammer.
He thought that after years of self-cultivation, his mentality had become peaceful.
Unexpectedly, the empress' persecution forced out the hatred hidden in his heart.
The empress is really good at punishing hearts!
To punish his heart, to punish the hearts of the Sun clan.
"What about Qiniang?" Sun Minrong asked eagerly.
"The palace doesn't force us, this matter is up to us to decide. This old man doesn't want to get married with the palace."
This is his attitude.
Sun Minrong felt dissatisfied, "Why didn't we get married? They drove us to a dead end, so there should be some compensation."
"Ridiculous! Do you really think it's a good thing to marry Qiniang to the royal family?"
"It's not a bad thing. That's His Royal Highness, the eldest prince, the eldest son, who is very likely to inherit the throne. Father, don't forget, the three princes are all descendants of the empress. The heir to the throne, no accident, will definitely be the eldest prince. Your Highness."
Sun Minrong was very determined.
If there were other concubines or concubine princes, he would not dare to guarantee that the heir to the throne would be His Royal Highness the First Prince.
However, there were no other concubines in the palace, nor was there any concubine prince.
The future of His Royal Highness is secure!
If Qiniang can marry His Royal Highness the eldest prince, she will become a queen in the future.
It is not the first time that the Sun family has married with the royal family, but it is the first time to become a queen.
The future is promising, how can you give up easily.
Sun Zhuangyuan pointed at his son, "Old man, I really didn't expect that you would be so greedy. The royal family cannibalizes people and doesn't spit out their bones. Do you really want to push Qiniang into the fire pit?"
"Father, why don't you ask Qiniang what she thinks, maybe she is willing to marry His Royal Highness the First Prince."
Sun Zhuangyuan was furious, "The old man will ask her. Let me remind you again, you are not allowed to say a word about what the old man told you today. It is impossible for anyone other than our father and son to know about the division of the clan. It has something to do with the palace. "
"My son knows the seriousness and will never go out and talk nonsense. But the son insists on marrying the royal family."
Sun Zhuangyuan snorted coldly, "Go out first, the old man will think about it later."
The light gradually dimmed.
The servants lit the candles and withdrew.
Sun Zhuangyuan let out a long breath, suppressing too many emotions in his heart.
The door creaked.
Sun Qiniang carried the food box, "Granddaughter heard that grandfather hasn't had dinner yet, so she specially ordered the small kitchen to make the food and wine that grandfather likes to eat."
Sun Zhuangyuan came back to his senses and stared at Qiniang.
"Where's your father?"
"Daddy is talking to the uncles."
Sun Qiniang put the food box on the table and brought out the food and wine.
Sure enough, they are all Sun Zhuangyuan's favorite food.
He smiled cheerfully, "The old man rarely comes back once a year, thank you for remembering that the old man likes to eat duck heads."
"My granddaughter always remembers what my grandfather likes."
Sun Zhuangyuan's mood improved, "Sit down and chat with the old man. What have you been up to lately?"
Sun Qiniang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "In the morning, I help my mother with housekeeping and receive the aunts and sisters in the clan. In the afternoon, I go to the ethnology class."
"Are you still in class?"
"Granddaughter dare not slack off. The more she learns, the more she feels shallow and ignorant."
"Don't push yourself too hard, don't do your sewing."
"Granddaughter listened to her grandfather and stopped her needlework."
Sun Zhuangyuan nodded approvingly, "needlework hurts the eyes, it should have been stopped long ago. Our Sun family is a top-notch family, and the needlework is done by the needlework lady. There is no need for the girl who is going out to do the needlework that hurts the eyes."
"Thank you grandfather!"
Sun Qiniang smiled sweetly.
Sun Zhuangyuan gnawed on the duck head with relish.
When I was six percent full, I put down my chopsticks.
He drank his wine and said: "About your marriage, the old man does not approve of you marrying into the royal family."
Sun Qiniang was stunned for a moment, "Can my granddaughter ask why?"
Sun Zhuangyuan's attitude was taken for granted, "The royal family is a pit of fire. You are the most outstanding granddaughter under my husband's knees. How can I push you into the pit of fire."
Sun Qiniang thought for a while, "If you don't marry the royal family, who should your granddaughter marry?"
"The son of a well-matched family, you can choose as you please."
"But in the eyes of my granddaughter, the son of the family is not as good as His Royal Highness the First Prince."
"Have you met His Royal Highness the First Prince?" Sun Zhuangyuan was taken aback, thinking that his granddaughter was secretly meeting the First Prince.
Sun Qiniang shook her head, "After returning home from the palace last time, my granddaughter recalled the garden party. His Royal Highness the First Prince didn't show up at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so why did he choose his granddaughter? At the garden party, Huang Qubing, Boss Huang, operated in secret, holding an unpopular one. The characters in the novel even went so far as to cover up the truth about the garden party afterwards.
The granddaughter believes that the reason why Boss Huang did this may be because of the garden party that day, there were people of great status participating in it. And he has special preferences, he doesn't like hot-blooded good men, and he doesn't like beautiful girls, he only likes the characters in "Officialdom""
