Because of the previous incidents, the banquet tonight seemed a bit awkward and embarrassing, but the most embarrassing thing came from Zhao Zhenkun, the fifth housekeeper of the Zhao family.
Seeing Zhao Jinyu salute to him, Zhao Zhenkun said arrogantly, "Brother, are you sure that this girl is really the blood of our Zhao family? I remember that in the past few years, there have been dozens of them just coming to recognize relatives."
As soon as these words came out, the joyous atmosphere in the room disappeared immediately, leaving only an inexplicable undercurrent of depression.
Zhao Zhenkun's wife, Mrs. Bo, turned pale with fright. She is Zhao Zhenkun's continuation. She is only thirty today, and she is the most timid and fearful. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, do you want some tea?" Passed the tea over, who knew it was knocked down by Zhao Zhenkun with one hand.
The teacup fell to the ground with a bang, and immediately fell to pieces, but Zhao Jinyu felt that... the way the teacup fell to pieces was really like the current situation of the Zhao family.
Zhao Zhenkun yelled, "What a stupid woman, my master is talking about serious business, what are you doing?" Then he stared at Zhao Jinyu and continued, "Brother, you don't know if you've been cheated. I'm thinking of you. Our big brother It is true that Fang has only such a bloodline left now, but what if he is some kind of charlatan? If you happen to do something wrong, don’t our Zhao family’s property fall into the hands of a liar? "
Zhao Xingkun sneered and said, "I'm not dead yet."
"Brother, are you kidding me? Can this person live forever? Do you still remember the Chuanqi of the Xu family? The one who grew up with us is five or six years younger than you. Who knew he passed away after a serious illness last year. " Zhao Zhenkun's tone was very rascal.
Zhao Xingkun didn't expect Zhao Zhenkun to be so unscrupulous, and said, "Zhao Zhenkun, don't you just want to raise your youngest son under the door of the big house? Let me tell you, anyone can do it, but he can't. He is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. The ligatures are also the worst."
"Our family has more than one fourth child, and there are seven or eight males. As long as you agree, I will call them over to pick you up, but do you agree? I think you are handing over the family to an unknown person." Strangers are not willing to hand it over to our Zhao family!" Zhao Zhenkun said without showing any weakness.
Zhao Tiankun, who had been silent all the time, took a sip of the green Yuqian Longjing and said, "Old Wu, you are really ugly like this, and you are fighting with a small family for property."
"You're not in a hurry, are you? I sent your family's sons and grandchildren here every day, saying that I want my elder brother to teach calligraphy, but I just want to get the moon first, so that if we live together every day, maybe my elder brother will take a fancy to one of them. Then change it to your own name." Zhao Xingkun rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "However, your plan may be in vain. Brother, I don't know where to find a female liar today. I just think it's my own. I'm recruiting one. The son-in-law intends to pass on the family business."
The second old master Zhao Tiankun and the fifth old master Zhao Zhenkun have had a bad relationship since they were young, and they have always been tit-for-tat. Who knows that this time the second old master did not refute, but turned his head to Zhao Xingkun with a somewhat stern expression and said, "Brother, it's not me I don't believe you, our Zhao family is a famous family that has produced saints. The inheritance of the long house is related to the inheritance of our family. I usually support you, but now if you really plan to recruit a son-in-law, then I will not agree gone."
Zhao Jinyu finally understood at this moment that it was not that these people disliked her, but that Zhao Xingkun had not established an heir for a long time, which made the people in the Zhao family covet her all the time.
Sure enough, there are many people, and there are many right and wrong. She doesn't believe that these children who have been familiar with poetry and books since childhood, and are even more embarrassing for children who have been carefully trained by their parents. It's just that human nature is greedy. Who would give up the benefits? So once these people get involved in the family business, they all show such an ugly face. Sometimes she doesn't quite understand the thinking of the ancients..., what about father and son soldiers in battle, what family will prosper when there are more people, she just looks at it To the fact that because of the division of the family property by the sons, there was a lot of quarrels, and even many shady schemes were staged. Many big families that have been around for a hundred years were eaten away little by little, and then collapsed in an instant one day.
Zhao Xingkun's face turned green with anger when he saw the two younger brothers fighting against each other. Seeing Zhao Jinyu standing in front of the fifth master Zhao Zhenkun, he felt that the fifth younger brother was becoming more and more shameless. Embarrass him at times like this.
How does this make Zhao Jinyu stand up in the family in the future? This is not only slapping Zhao Jinyu in the face, but also slapping him in the face.
"Fifth brother, if you still recognize me as a big brother today, you should quickly drink this recognition tea for me. If you..." Zhao Xingkun said with a long ending, his face was gloomy like the sky before the rainstorm , very cold and dark.
The fifth old man looked like he didn't want to eat oil and salt, and shouted, "If I don't drink, what do you think? Zhao Xingkun! I'll tell you, don't just think that you are the patriarch of the Zhao family and you can do whatever you want. When father handed over the family business to you, he hoped to make the family prosperous, but these years have become more and more difficult for the family, and the momentum has long since declined. This is something that everyone sees. Your ability is average. Let’s forget about these things, but you want the Zhao family to end the inheritance here... let alone me, ask us, who will agree to it?" said the fifth old man here The more angry he got, he stood up abruptly, knocked the teacup that Zhao Jinyu handed to him on the table and made a bang sound, which shocked everyone present, and their faces became very ugly, "I also said Let it go, if you don't settle the issue of your heir today, I won't drink this cup of tea even if I'm beaten to death. The patriarch is pulled down!"
The old man's face was ashen, and his fingers trembled for a long time. Seeing that everyone was looking at him... but no one stood up to speak for him, his heart was half cold, and he gritted his teeth after a while and said, "Fifth brother, are you planning to talk to me today?" I'm going to be a dead fish and the net is broken?"
The grand master Zhao Xingkun's prestige is still there, and talking with such a sullen face made the fifth old master Zhao Xingkun shrink his neck... But he soon raised his head and chest up again, showing a resolute face. He is different from the second old master Zhao Tiankun, he The relationship with the eldest brother has always been bad, not to mention the tragic death of the eldest brother's only son... the eldest brother has always blamed him, and it is a bit unfair to say that when the eldest brother's only son Zhao Yingguan hugged the illegitimate daughter born outside, he only said He wanted to break up with his family, and even ignored his wife who was giving birth, so he said to his elder brother, what do you want such an unfaithful and unrighteous person? It was like losing face to the Zhao family, and let him go, just as if the family had never raised such a person. The eldest brother was obviously mad at the time. He didn't expect that he would meticulously cultivate such a son who could abandon his wife and children, and his morals were bankrupt. At that time, Zhao Yingguan was kicked out with difficulty concealing his anger.
Later, when Zhao Yingguan died tragically outside, the elder brother blamed this incident on him... But what's wrong with him? Having an illegitimate daughter with an unpopular Jianghu girl, and abandoning his wife and son, disregarding his parents was Zhao Yingguan's own doing. Could it be that he used a knife to force Zhao Yingguan to do it? Really ridiculous!
After all, the eldest brother just doesn’t like him, so it’s useless to be polite with the eldest brother. In this case, it’s better to tear your face like this. If everyone is reasonable, he really doesn’t believe it. Xiao Si, Xiao Shiqi of his family is the best among the juniors in the whole family, and he also writes the best handwriting, so he must be the heir.
The second old man originally wanted to watch a play, but he and the first old man have always had a very good relationship, thinking that although the eldest brother has never spoken, he will always pick one of his children to be his heir after a long time, who knows that suddenly The granddaughter, who hadn't heard from her all this time, just popped up like this... He immediately felt a sense of crisis, fearing that the eldest brother really asked this girl to recruit a son-in-law and inherit the family business.
But this does not mean that he agrees with the fifth old man's approach. If the eldest brother is really pulled down from the position of patriarch, it is really hard to say who this heir is.
"Fifth brother, please don't say a few words."
"What? Are you scared again now? Worried that the cooked duck will fly away like this?" The fifth old man retorted unceremoniously, showing a bit of a malicious smile, "You still want to act in front of me and big brother?" A love scene between good brothers? Hehe, what a fool you are, you flatter your elder brother like that, and let a few younger brothers serve your elder brother every day. Why have you not decided on an heir for a long time when you are an elder brother? That is because your elder brother has Knowing that when the eldest brother’s only son, Zhao Yingguan, ran away from the house, you secretly asked those idlers to take good care of him! In his heart, he regarded you as the murderer of his own son. How could he agree to let your child be his heir? Seriously. wishful thinking!"
As soon as the fifth old man's words came out..., the second old man's face became very ugly, and he almost immediately denied it, "Old man, don't you just want to provoke the relationship between me and my elder brother by talking nonsense here? You are just jealous of the elder brother taking good care of me."
"You still don't understand?" The fifth old man pointed to a servant next to the eldest old man Zhao Xingkun and said, "Do you think this person looks like someone?"
"who is he?"
"Xiao Xiangzhu from the Qiang Gang, Xu Jia's son!" The fifth old man continued, "Didn't you just bribe Xu Jia from the Qiang Gang to let him take care of Zhao Yingguan, and it would be better if he didn't come back?"
The second old man's face was ashen, and he sat on the ground a little unbearably. Wiping the sweat with trembling hands, it seemed that she was afraid and frightened.
