Chapter eight hundred and fifty first meeting ceremony
The door to Lin's house is closed.
Everyone knew that this door could not close Lin Zhiming. With Lin Zhiming's strength, even if the door was not made of wood but iron, he could blow it away with one punch.
However, he came to take over the position of the head of the Lin family. How could the head of the Lin family blow open the door of his own house?
As long as Lin Zhiming dares to violently break down the door, it means that he has entered the Lin family through illegal means. This seems to be a metaphor, implying that Lin Zhiming, the head of the family, has an unfair name. Once there is this metaphor, no matter Lin Zhiming is
In front of Qingmudang, or in front of other important figures in the imperial capital, he would naturally have the illusion of being inferior.
The closed door of the Lin family became the first hurdle for Lin Zhiming to enter the Lin family. If he did not cross this hurdle, even if he took over the position of the head of the Lin family in two days, it would be a loss of face.
There were not only merchants and spectators at the door, but also many people from other families and other forces in the imperial capital. They were all observing to see how Lin Zhiming would deal with this obstacle.
"It's a bit retarded to play." Lin Zhiming sighed, shook his head, and then stretched his hand to the side.
Dong Jian came over, took out a simple key from his pocket and handed it to Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming took the key, smiled and said to the people around him, "When you go back to your own home, of course you have to use your own key."
After saying that, Lin Zhiming inserted the key into the door lock.
With a click, the door lock was opened.
Lin Zhiming pushed with one hand, and the huge wooden door slowly opened, making a creaking sound.
In the blink of an eye, both wooden doors were opened.
Lin Zhiming walked into the Lin family, and then the others followed Lin Zhiming into the Lin family.
"Hahaha, did you see that my friend used a key to get in? Who the hell said he wasn't the head of the Lin family?" Mao'er shouted excitedly.
Several nearby merchants looked at each other, and one of them said, "If it is really the owner of the house, then why did the Lin family close the door just now? Maybe he is just a member of the Lin family."
"Hmph, even if you are just a member of the Lin family, have you seen that row of Rolls-Royces? Can you ride on those once in your life?" Mao'er said proudly.
"Oh, Rolls-Royce. It costs 8,000 yuan a day. You can't afford to rent it. With so many of us pooling together 500 yuan each to rent a Rolls-Royce for a day, who can't afford it?" a merchant said disdainfully.
said.
"That's right, Mao'er, you are too arrogant!"
"That's right, that's right, you have lost your hair!" people around said one after another.
At this moment, a man in a black suit ran out of Lin's house and came directly to Mao'er.
"Brother Mao, the head of the family invites you to attend the Lin family head succession ceremony at noon the day after tomorrow!" said the man in a suit.
"Invite me?!" Mao'er's whole body was shocked, and his scalp instantly became numb.
"Yes, please attend on time!" The man in the suit said, turned and left.
"Now, what else do you have to say?" Mao'er straightened his clothes and said calmly while looking at the people around him.
The people around him decisively shut their mouths at this time.
"You all think I'm bragging, you think I'm too arrogant, but you don't know that what I'm telling you is actually the truth. You see, the head of the Lin family and I are good friends, and he even specially sent people over to invite me to attend the ceremony to take over as the head of the family.
Hey, how can I say that people like me are lonely, because no one can understand people like me." Mao'er said helplessly, and he sighed while talking, which made people extremely annoyed, but he didn't understand it at all.
There is no way to refute it.
On the other side, inside the Lin family.
Lin Zhiming and others walked into the Lin family's yard.
The yard is full of weeds.
The last head of the Lin family left the Lin family more than a month ago, so the Lin family has been vacant for more than a month.
"Is this the Lin family?" Gu Feiyan asked, looking at the weeds everywhere.
"This is the Lin family." Lin Zhiming nodded and walked forward.
Crossing the courtyard, a hall appeared in front of them.
In the hall, several chairs fell to the ground casually without anyone to help them. There were several paintings hanging on the walls of the hall. The paintings were dilapidated. There were doors on the left and right sides of the hall. These two doors were connected to the hall.
Going to the central area of Lin's house, both doors were closed at this time, and there was thick dust on the doors.
Dong Jian and Wang Hai each walked to the two doors and opened them.
"Let's go!" Lin Zhiming said, walking through the hall and walking in from the door on the left.
What appeared in front of everyone was a long corridor with carved beams and painted pillars.
After passing through the corridor, everyone walked into a courtyard again.
There are no weeds in this yard. On both sides of the yard are small wooden buildings. Some of the doors and windows of the small buildings are open and some are closed. Looking in from the outside, you can vaguely see that the small buildings are full of debris.
.
Further forward is the main hall of the Lin family.
The original golden nanmu furniture in the main hall had all disappeared at this time, and the entire main hall was empty. There was only a portrait of the ancestors of the Lin family hanging on the wall, and nothing else.
"This..." Gu Feiyan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that nothing could come out.
In her eyes, this is not the Lin family in the imperial capital. It is clearly a dilapidated house in the wilderness, and it is the kind that has not been lived in for decades.
"This meeting gift is really big enough." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Boss, the people from Qingmutang are too much!" Wang Hai said through gritted teeth.
"No, it's not too much, not too much at all." Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "I would rather see them do this, at least it proves that those people in Qingmu Hall have no brains, except using things like this
The method is disgusting and I can’t think of any other way.”
"Then what should we do now? Clean up this place? Buy some more furniture?" Wang Hai asked.
"Why do we need to clean up? There are not many things here. In this case, just take the things away." Lin Zhiming said, walked to the wall of the main hall, jumped up, and painted the portraits of the ancestors of the Lin family.
He took it off and rolled it up carefully.
"Dong Jian, take people to the ancestral hall and bring over the genealogy and the tablets of all the ancestors of the Lin family. From today on, the Lin family will no longer be here." Lin Zhiming said.
"Yes!" Dong Jian nodded, and then left quickly with the others.
Lin Zhiming pulled Gu Feiyan to the steps in front of the main hall and sat down.
"Wan'er, come here and give me a hug." Lin Zhiming waved to Lin Wan'er who was not far away.
Lin Wan'er ran over and threw herself directly into Lin Zhiming's arms.
"I know our fate, if we don't live here, where will we go? After all, such a large group of people, including your Lin family members in Strait City, will also come to the imperial capital tomorrow. Should we just stay in a hotel? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Gu
Fei Yan asked.
Lin Zhiming teased Lin Wan'er and said, "You have a place to live, don't worry."
"Then what's going on at Qingmu Hall? Why do you do this to you? After all, you are also the future head of the Lin family!" Gu Feiyan asked angrily.
"In their eyes, the head of the Lin family is just a puppet. They control all the resources of the Lin family in the imperial capital. When we take over the Lin family in the imperial capital, we can only become the head of the Lin family, but we cannot use any resources of the Lin family unless we are willing to become theirs.
Puppet, in this way we can rely on their resources to seek our own interests, but you also know that I am not used to being a puppet, so they gave me such a meeting gift." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"The Lin family took the initiative to not use the Lin family's resources? Isn't this amazing?" Gu Feiyan asked in surprise.
"This is the rule set by the ancestors of the Lin family. At that time, in order to prevent some incompetent people from appearing in the descendants of the Lin family, the ancestors of the Lin family established the Qingmu Hall and gave the Qingmu Hall a certain amount of power to restrict the family head. But who
It is conceivable that the Lin family later had a stupid head. He was deceived by the Qingmutang people and entrusted all the Lin family's shares in his hands to the Qingmutang management. From then on, the Qingmutang controlled all the Lin family's shares and
resources, they became the Supreme Emperor of the Lin family, controlling the Lin family through family inheritance, and constantly drawing nutrients from the Lin family to strengthen themselves. If the ancestors of the Lin family had not set some rules restricting Qingmutang at that time, it would be possible for two or three people to
A hundred years ago, the Lin family was divided up by Qingmudang, but now the situation of the Lin family is not optimistic. Hey, they are really not worry-free ancestors at all!" Lin Zhiming sighed.
"This is actually a bit similar to a trust fund. Nowadays, many wealthy people hand over their property to a trust fund in order to prevent their prodigal son from losing all his family property. The trust fund is responsible for operating his property, while his heirs
We can only get dividends!" Gu Feiyan said.
"You're right!" Lin Zhiming nodded.
At this moment, a quarrel suddenly came from not far away.
Lin Zhiming followed the sound and saw several people wearing clothes with the Qingmudang logo walking beside Dong Jian, arguing fiercely with Dong Jian.
"These are things that have been passed down by the Lin family for hundreds of years. You can't take them away!"
"You are not qualified to take these things away. They must be placed in the Lin family's ancestral hall!"
"You are disturbing the ancestors of the Lin family by doing this. The ancestors of the Lin family will definitely not let you go!"
These people kept talking, but Dong Jian walked firmly towards Lin Zhiming and ignored them.
"The head of the family, the Lin family tree, and the tablets of all ancestors have been obtained." Dong Jian stood in front of Lin Zhiming and said.
"Okay, let's go!" Lin Zhiming said.
"You can't leave, put down what you are holding!" A person from Qingmu Hall excitedly stood in front of Lin Zhiming and said.
Lin Zhiming slowly stood up from the ground, looked at the man in front of him, and said lightly, "Are you trying to stop a Dragon King?"
The man's expression froze and he said, "Aoki Hall once had rules that prohibited anyone from taking away these things."
"Can the rules of Qingmudang restrain the Dragon King?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"this…"
"Go away, don't block our master's way!" Lin Wei walked over from the side and pushed the man away.
Lin Zhiming smiled, nodded appreciatively to Lin Wei, and then walked forward.
