Although these shopkeepers understood that this was just a formality, when it came to their future image in Wu Yi's mind, they still recounted the profits and losses of their stores in the past month, with a vague intention of comparison.
Sun Quan sometimes nodded, sometimes said nothing, and sometimes looked like he was thinking. After all, he had been in charge of the family for many years, and he could hear some flaws in these matters. However, if he spent time on these things today, he would not have time later, either.
There was no excessive pursuit.
After these people reported their profits and losses, it was already noon. Sun Quan invited everyone to come to the backyard to have lunch. There were several stone tables here, all blue and black, polished as smooth as a mirror, and as warm as jade.
Wu Yi followed Sun Quan, waiting for him to sit down, and stood by the side. These shopkeepers each found a place to sit down. Among them, there were also differences between superior and inferior. It is not difficult to see it. The closer to Sun Quan, the higher the status.
.
More than a dozen maids dressed in colorful clothes, like butterflies wearing flowers, flew among the crowd, bringing fruits, vegetables, hot dishes and tableware, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music played from behind. It was quiet and comfortable, quite like the countryside.
.
After finishing the meal, Sun Quan stopped his chopsticks and let out a sigh. Everyone knew that business was about to come. They put down their chopsticks almost at the same time, neatly as if they had been trained. He was worthy of a man who has been in the business world for many years. In terms of emotional intelligence, he has a strong reputation.
Many of his disciples are simply beyond his reach.
Sun Quan said: "I have led the Sun family for a long time. I remember when my father gave me the position, he told me to pass on the incense and let the Sun family be the lintel. But I didn't expect him.
--,well."
The father of Yi'er, Sun Luoyi, and Sun Zhiyan, the Sun family member who was killed by evil spirits on the way to escort the soul coins, the position of the head of the family should have belonged to him, and no one could snatch it away from him.
"My condolences, head of the family." Everyone bowed and worshiped, and a few people couldn't help but shed tears. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it suited the timing very well.
Wu Yi, the superficial son, couldn't help but express his feelings. Then he choked up and wiped his tears with his sleeves. Sun Quan paved the way for him. He could just cry by himself. Why not?
As the crying gradually subsided, a person suddenly stood up and said, "Although the young master unfortunately dies as a guest, we still have the young master."
Wu Yi didn't know if this person was the one arranged by Sun Quan. The merit of being a dragon is rare, and there are always opportunists. But in the current situation of the Sun family, it is impossible to get the first shot. If one of the three becomes the head of the family,
, but I can’t eat and walk around.
Acknowledgments came in twos and threes. Sure enough, the people present still had doubts. Wu Yi frowned and Sun Quan's face also looked a little ugly. Do these people still want to be wallflowers?
"Da, da, da..." The sudden sound of clogs hitting the ground broke the awkwardness of the scene, and a man with a square face and a beard walked straight in.
"What is so lively? It turns out that we are holding a banquet here. The head of the Sun family did not invite Yue to have a drink, but it made me sad." The man waved his folding fan and was arty, passing all the shopkeepers all the way to Sun.
Tsuen approached, not knowing anything about the situation, pretending to be familiar with him.
The surname Yue is the surname of the Crescent Moon Kingdom. The person who calls himself Yue is from a royal family. His name is Yue Lingxing. He usually teases women and causes a lot of trouble. If he didn't have the protection of this surname, who knows when?
I saw him among the corpses in the wilderness.
Although he does not do anything serious, he is still the butler in name only. He is the person that Sun Zhiyan hated in the past. Because he is responsible for dealing with the royal family and cannot be offended, his monthly salary is only much higher than that of Sun Zhiyan.
Yue Lingxing held his head high and arrogant, thinking that Sun Quan would still talk down to him as before, but Sun Quan just said, "It turns out to be Butler Yue. The food is still hot. Please add one more."
Stool." He didn't even get up, his attitude was completely different from his previous attitude.
Sun Quan naturally turned a blind eye when Yue Lingxing took some small advantages in the past, but now he is interfering in the important matter of the succession of the Sun family. Although he has a noble status, it is just an empty title. He is waiting to die. He wants to touch the big tree of the Sun family.
He didn't have the qualifications yet, so he didn't blast him out directly, which meant that Sun Quan gave him face.
Yue Lingxing raised her orchid finger. She didn't expect to be treated like this. She seemed to be stuttering and kept talking.
A foundation builder with accumulated resources dared to point fingers at the real person Jin Dan. Sun Quan snorted coldly. Yue Lingxing felt as if he had been hit hard. He felt depressed for a moment. The years of debauchery and debauchery had long hollowed out his body, and he actually sat down.
On the ground.
All the shopkeepers are human beings. They look at their noses with their eyes, their mouths with their noses, and their hearts with their mouths. They seem to see nothing.
"Butler Yue Da is tired. Send him down to rest." Sun Quan calmly ordered the maid beside him.
Yue Lingxing stood up and shouted sternly: "Sun Quan, you——"
"Cough." Before Yue Lingxing said the unpleasant words, Sun Quan coughed. This cough was not a simple warning, but contained energy. Yue Lingxing spit out a mouthful of blood, his hair was messy, and his breath was
He suddenly became depressed and almost died.
The shopkeepers were awestruck when they saw this. In order to support the new head of the family, did the old patriarch even use the noble Yue Lingxing as a chicken? Then, who are the monkeys? Is it just them?
Suddenly there were hurried steps outside, and a figure entered the inner courtyard. It was Sun Qingyuan. Seeing such a scene, she was shocked and said, "Why is father so angry?"
She stepped forward quickly and kindly helped Yue Lingxing up, but Yue Lingxing, who was always flattered by others, did not accept the favor and threw Sun Qingyuan away. She glanced at Sun Quan hatefully and turned to leave.
However, Sun Quan did not give the poisonous snake a chance to bite him back, and announced: "The great steward Yue Lingxing has no moral character and his character is corrupt. He is no longer worthy of being a steward. He is now dismissed from his position as steward and sent back to the capital."
"What!" Sun Qingyuan shouted directly regardless of the crowd. Even Wu Yi was stunned. Sun Quan's will was quite firm.
Sun Quan had no intention of explaining, and directly announced the next order, "The mountains we are going to are long and wide, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and there are mountain spirits and ghosts. Yuan'er, please protect him on the journey."
Sun Qingyuan seemed to have been stepped on. Sun Quan clearly wanted to get rid of her and clear the way for Wu Yi to ascend to the throne. He refused directly and said: "I don't agree. Yue Lingxing is a descendant of the royal family. Although he has minor faults, he still
Nor will he be dismissed from his position."
As he spoke, Dansha spread out, directly rolled up Yue Lingxing's body, and smashed it in front of Sun Quan. As for Yue Lingxing's face that was distorted due to broken muscles and bones, Sun Qingyuan subconsciously ignored it.
