Outside the Zhu family's residence and Mr. Zhu's small courtyard, a group of Zhu family backers gathered together and whispered. The eldest brother of the Zhu family, Zhu Kunhang, was standing with several of his brothers. Zhu Kunyuan, Zhu Kunpeng, and Zhu Kundong had expressions on their faces.
one.
Zhu Kunyuan and Zhu Kunpeng had had head-to-head confrontations with Lin Kun in Jiangnan before. They were severely slapped in the face by Lin Kun. After returning to Yanjing, they felt that their faces were dull and they never took the initiative to mention that past. They felt sorry for Lin Kun in their hearts.
Although Kun was afraid, his hatred was even stronger. Now that he suddenly received the news of Lin Kun's death, he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear and felt so happy in his heart.
However, there were many people here, and Lin Kun was the most favored junior of the old man, so they did not dare to act too blatantly.
Zhu Kundong is different from his three brothers. He has never had any ambitions, and he is indifferent to the Zhu family's huge industry. For him, in life, as long as there are ginseng and bird's nests every day, and the servants can serve them when he wants to eat shark's fins.
Come here, and when you have nothing to do, wander around outside, play cards, chess, and occasionally play mahjong. There is nothing else in this life.
His wife gave him two daughters, which gave him another excuse for his lack of progress. Anyway, he had two daughters, and they would both be married off in the future. The property of the Zhu family must be owned by the direct sons of the Zhu family.
Ding inherits, no matter how hard he works in this life, he can't leave anything behind in the end, so why not be free and easy as soon as possible?
Zhu Kundong looked down on his three brothers who were grieving on the surface but happy in their hearts. He didn't have a deep impression of Lin Kun and couldn't even remember what this young man looked like. But if the rumors were true, then
After all, he is the second brother's flesh and blood, a direct descendant of the Zhu family, and their nephew.
"well……"
Zhu Kundong sighed deeply in his heart. He was an outsider in the struggle for power in the Zhu family. Although he was also a direct descendant, he had never been interested in these things. Anyway, no matter who was in charge of the family, he would receive a monthly share of the money.
No less, when he goes out, others have to respect him as "Fifth Master", but when he looks at his eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, and the nephews present, he doesn't think any of them has the ability to keep the Zhu family going.
Prosperous and powerful.
One day, if the old man really passes away, just because these people haven't brought the Zhu family to a standstill, wouldn't it be even more troublesome if there are more Zhu family members from the Zhu family who come from the side to get involved.
When Zhu Kunhang, Zhu Kunyuan, and Zhu Kunpeng were discussing quietly together, Zhu Kundong was worried about his little ninety-nine. He was not afraid of anything except that the Zhu family would fall into the hands of the collateral clan, and his interests would be seriously affected.
If there is a loss, then their lineage will become a collateral lineage. Although the collateral lineage also has members and money, it is too little.
On the other side, the three generations of the Zhu family, headed by Zhu Zhenggang, gathered in a circle. These younger generations of the Zhu family also had differences, but when it came to issues involving family interests, especially Lin Kun, they stood on the same side.
A united front.
In their eyes, Lin Kun is a greater threat than any of them. This kid can make great changes in the three eastern provinces. If he is really allowed to go to Yanjing, will the Zhu family still have their place? Even if
Each of them was filled with arrogance, but they all understood that if they were thrown to the Northeast, they might be able to use the prestige of the Zhu family to create a career, but in the end they would not be able to unify the underground world of the three Northeastern provinces.
Fortunately, the biggest threat is over now. These people have no friendship with Lin Kun. Even if he shares the blood of the Zhu family, he is still an outsider in their eyes.
These juniors are in a good mood. Even after today, they will soon become enemies with each other. They are so good at this moment that they can't wait to wear a pair of pants.
Shao Puyang walked out of Mr. Zhu's house. The group of people who had been chattering immediately fell silent. Zhu Kunhang, the eldest son of Zhu, walked past first and smiled politely: "Mr. Shao, how is my father's condition?"
If it were in the past, even if Shao Puyang didn't like Zhu Kunhang in his heart, considering that he would become the head of the Zhu family in the future, he would take the initiative to chat with him, but he would definitely not flatter him. In the early days, he also looked after Zhu Kunhang.
Over-orientation, great wealth
The life of your sovereign, but the official status is missing a glimmer of brilliance. Shao Puyang may have been puzzled before. After all, among the second generation of the Zhu family, no one is more capable than Zhu Kunhang. Now Shao Puyang understands.
He is not the person to inherit the family head at all.
Shao Puyang had an indifferent expression on his face and said: "Mr. Zhu, I am a Feng Shui magician and I know a little bit about physiognomy and numerology. How is Mr. Zhu's health? You should ask the doctor."
Zhu Kunhang had an embarrassed expression on his face, but he didn't take it seriously. Who was this Shao Puyang? There were several major families in Yanjing Imperial City who didn't treat him as a guest, but the only one who could welcome him at his convenience was his own father.
Not because of the power of the Zhu family, but because of personal friendship.
"Mr. Shao, you are too modest. I really should ask the doctor about my condition, but what I want to ask is the number of days. My father..."
Before Zhu Kunhang could finish speaking, Shao Puyang immediately frowned and his expression became a little unhappy, "Mr. Zhu, do you want me to reveal secrets? Secrets cannot be revealed, especially for a man like Mr. Zhu, whose destiny is even more secret.
"
Seeing that he didn't ask what he wanted to ask, Zhu Kunhang's face turned slightly ugly, but he still raised his hands and said: "If Master Shao feels embarrassed, I won't ask. I don't know what my father said to Master Shao. Can I
Tell me something?"
Shao Puyang looked at the people around him and saw that everyone looked curious, and said: "Mr. Zhu told me that in his dream yesterday, he dreamed that the ancestors of the Zhu family told him that he hoped to repair the ancestral temple.
Mr. Zhu asked me what I needed to pay attention to and when I would have time, hoping that I could host it myself."
Zhu Kunhang immediately said: "What do you mean, Mr. Shao, when does this need to start?"
At present, when it comes to all matters involving the Zhu family, Zhu Kunhang is almost always the one to speak up. He is the eldest son of the Zhu family and currently the most powerful person in the Zhu family. Naturally, everyone has no objections, or even if they have objections, they will not express them.
Shao Puyang said: "I checked the season and found that it is not appropriate to start building the ancestral temple this year. It will have an impact on the future prosperity of the Zhu family. It will not be until June next year at the earliest. I will personally come to preside over it then."
Zhu Kunhang and all the Zhu family members thanked him in unison. Shao Puyang didn't say anything more and continued to leave. The old housekeeper accompanied him on one side. At this time, Zhu Kunhang's daughter-in-law, Liu Moli, the eldest lady of the Zhu family, stood up and said with a smile on her face.
He stopped Shao Puyang with a flattering look and said: "Master Shao, I have something that I don't understand recently. I would like to ask you to clarify it. When is it convenient for you to come to my house?" (To be continued)
