Tan Zhao's biological grandmother was Master Tan's second wife. She came from the famous Yan family. Later, when her fifth uncle passed away, she divorced Master Tan. Soon she settled abroad, and Master Tan soon chose to remarry.
But the strange thing is that after she settled abroad, she never saw the Tan family, and even her two biological sons were rarely seen. Instead, she called Tan Zhao twice every month.
As a junior, Tan Zhao didn't like to inquire about this information at first, and he only knew so much, but to say how much he loved his grandmother, it really wasn't enough. During many video calls, he felt that the other party seemed to be talking to her.
See another person through him.
Who in this world would like to be a substitute?
He didn't know about others, at least Tan Zhao didn't like them.
Therefore, Tan Zhao's voice could not be called very warm: "Well, yes, his name is Gu Chang. Do you want to meet him?"
At this time, the boat just docked, Gu Chang came over and patted him, and just in time, he saw an old lady with gray hair on the phone. Her eyes were a little cloudy, but she exuded a sense of peace.
"who is she?"
Tan Zhao took the tablet on the table and typed something to Gu Chang. The two chatted with the old lady for a while before hanging up the phone.
"I don't like the way she looks at her brother."
Tan Zhao's hand holding the phone froze. He didn't know whether to marvel at Gu Chang's keenness or sigh at the old lady's lack of concealment: "Okay, you have the right not to like it."
"What about brother?"
As for him, what he doesn't want to do is even if the King of Heaven comes, he can't force him: "Come ashore, don't you always want to visit the old house?"
The Tan family's old house occupies a large area. In Luo City, where land is at a premium, they own such a large piece of private land, and they also have the wealth to create a Feng Shui landscape of "surrounded by mountains and rivers." This shows the Tan family's status in Luo City.
This place is not so much a house, but actually more like a group of villas with the main house as the king of the building. It can be reached by water and land. There is only one place surrounded by water. Normally, only contemporary family owners can go there.
"Can't go to the ancestral hall? Why?"
Tan Zhao burst out laughing: "Are you one of the 100,000 Whys? In fact, I don't know why, but every year during the sacrifice, as long as you enter the family tree, you can go there."
Gu Chang obviously wanted to use him to find out the secrets of the Tan family's old house. As the most generous person in the Tan family, Tan Zhao certainly couldn't let his younger brother down: "But there is no place that I can't go to in the Tan family. We can force our way in."
Gu Chang: ...As expected of the famous Seventh Young Master.
But these words made him very happy, and the sweet dimples on his face became much deeper: "Is this okay? Won't it disturb the ancestors and gods?"
When he went out, he sighed that Mr. Tan, who had lived hundreds of years longer, did not feel guilty at all: "No, the elderly all like the excitement."
Having said this, Gu Chang felt that if he didn't seize this opportunity, he would be sorry for the favorable time, place and people, so he nodded sweetly and typed: "Okay."
Young Master Qi is notoriously difficult to serve. This is not to say that he beats or scolds or makes things difficult for others. This master just follows his temper and does whatever he is not allowed to do. Today I will tell you
I brought my younger brother to the lake for a swim. As I swam, I said I wanted to take my younger brother to the ancestral hall to worship my ancestors, but no one could stop me.
Even though the seventh young master is now sitting in a wheelchair, the newly recognized eighth young master is so strong that he actually pulled the seventh young master directly onto the boat without anyone driving. The two of them drove the yacht directly to the southeast corner of the water.
Go to the pavilion.
"Quick! Go and notify the head of the family!"
Gu Chang didn't know how to drive a yacht, but Tan Zhao did. No one in the Tan family could match him when it came to eating, drinking, and having fun. Moreover, Gu Chang was also smart. In a short period of time, he actually learned to simply control a yacht.
Tan Zhao raised his thumb: "Awesome."
Gu Chang turned his head in shyness, but where Tan Zhao didn't see it, a strange but cheerful smile appeared on his face.
The speed of the yacht was very fast, and Gu Chang drove it very fast. In less than five minutes, they arrived near the water pavilion.
The Shuige Ancestral Hall is guarded all year round. Apparently someone has just informed that the two of them are not allowed to go ashore, but who is Tan Zhao? As the saying goes, you are already here, why don't you go in, thank you.
After this incident, he would have to answer several harassing phone calls, and he would have to earn back his money.
"Young Master Qi, if it really doesn't work, please don't make things difficult for us. If the head of the family starts blaming you, we can't afford to just walk around in circles."
They all came to the ancestral hall. They are definitely the cronies among the cronies. They are playing fox jump with him: "Don't fool me with the same old tricks. It's a new society. I guarantee that my uncle will not drag you to reclaim the sea."
Tan Zhao and others got ashore in a mess, and Gu Chang hid on top of him. He looked timid, but in fact he was already observing the aura and flow around him. At the same time, he quietly opened the small basket he was carrying and threw the contents in.
On the water near the water pavilion.
I don’t know what it was, but it actually melted into the water. No one except Tan Zhao noticed it.
However, Tan Zhao, as if he was unaware of the mottled aura around him, forced a breakthrough while introducing himself to Gu Chang.
The family rules these days have always been "starve the timid to death and starve the bold to death". Tan Zhao is a "terminally ill patient" and Gu Chang "doesn't understand the rules". The people who guard the ancestral hall of the Tan family did not expect that
, these two brothers actually barged in.
And because of Tan Zhao's special status and reasons, the head of the family would not punish him in any way after the liquidation.
Tan Zhao couldn't understand these four words: "Be strong without desire". Counting this time, it can be said to be a blatant temptation.
"Brother, leave these people alone."
There was a bang on the wooden door, and Tan Zhao forcefully locked everyone else outside.
This is the outer ancestral hall, and Tan Zhao is no stranger to it. Although it is built on the lake, the moisture-proof work of the water pavilion is very good. It is extremely dry inside, and incense is burned all year round. It is a leather that is not pungent.
smell.
"Come on, I'll take you in to burn incense." Because he was in a hurry, Tan Zhao did not use a wheelchair.
Gu Chang was pulled away obediently. The other person was obviously very familiar with this place, and he introduced it to him as he walked, but... none of it was right, it was not here.
But that's right, for such a big family, it's impossible for such a big family to openly leave things in the ancestral hall.
The small one is hidden in the wild, the big one is hidden in the city, the Tan family is entrenched by the lake, using the monster as a lure and borrowing it for their own use. The key things are covered up, but they are definitely under the water.
Gu Chang touched his ear bones, and in the shadow of the candle, he saw his biological brother's particularly pale face.
The other party was so smart, could it be that he really didn't notice it at all? The calm look of Ri Yaoying and Phantom that day was not something that a simple playboy could achieve.
Thinking of this, he smiled softly, like a child: "Okay~"
The incense was ready-made, and there were densely packed tablets in the inner ancestral hall. In a corner, Tan Zhao also saw the name of Fifth Uncle. He was the only one in the previous generation, as if he was separated from the other tablets.
Same.
Gu Chang took the incense and made up his mind to "burn the ancestral hall".
The fire filled the sky and floated on the water. It would be a pity not to use such dry wood as firewood. Gu Chang offered the incense and turned to look at Tan Zhao. He believed that his brother thought so too.
Tan Zhao led the people around the entire ancestral hall again before opening the door and going out. As soon as he went out, he saw the livid face of Uncle Tan: "Xiao Qi, do you know what you are doing?"
Tan Zhao was not afraid at all, and was even so weak that he fell into a wheelchair: "I can't do it anymore, hurry up...send me to the hospital."
Uncle Tan:...fuck! This move again!
But how to put it, don't worry about old tricks, just work. When Tan Zhao screamed that he felt uncomfortable, even if Uncle Tan thought it was an act, he didn't dare to bet that one ten thousandth, after all -
The Seventh Young Master and the Eighth Young Master made a fuss in the ancestral hall, but one of them was sick and the other deaf, not to mention that one of them had just been recognized. He had suffered a lot outside and did not understand the rules. Even if the Tan family uncle wanted to punish him, he was "too weak to do what he wanted"
”.
In the end, I could only give him a few verbal admonishments, and I asked the third child and his wife to educate their son on their own.
This matter is not a secret among the younger generation of the Tan family. Some people are jealous of the two people's bold actions, while others are mocking Tan Xiaoqi for being as arrogant as ever. There was originally Tan Jingxing in the third room of the Tan family who could support the facade, but now he did not expect that he was a fake. Even though
Still working for the group, so what?
If he is not of the Tan family's blood, no matter how good he is, it will be useless. As for the newly found one, he does have the appearance of the blood, but he is messing with Tan Xiaoqi. If the third family works so hard, it will not fall into decline in the future.
The big family is full of intrigues and intrigues. Many people are watching the jokes of the two Tan Zhao brothers, and some are even betting on when Tan Xiaoqi will kill his fragile body.
However, Tan Zhao didn't care about it. After being a patient in the hospital for two days, he returned home peacefully.
But as soon as he got home, Gu Chang wanted to go out.
"Are you going out?"
Gu Chang nodded shyly: "I borrowed money from my coworkers before and haven't paid it back. It's at the construction site next door. I can just go there by myself."
...Coworker or something, Tan Zhao glanced at Gu Chang and stopped asking.
However, intuitively, Tan Zhao felt that the other party was probably out to engage in unscientific trouble. He assessed his body and pushed the car key basket next to him: "This is a remote location, let's drive."
Gu Chang lowered his head and saw that they were all car keys. Although he didn't recognize them, they should all be good cars. He grabbed a handful and poked his phone: "Thank you, brother."
Then he went out happily, carrying the same small basket he had brought when he went out to the lake that day.
When Tan Zhao heard the sound of the car engine starting and leaving, he slowly stood up from the wheelchair. This younger brother had gone out to do trouble, and as an older brother, he couldn't lag behind others.
It happened that he was not at home, and his assistant also delivered the things he wanted to the warehouse. It was time for him to use the sacrificial circle in his heart. At least he had to let people know that his merits were not brought by strong winds.
