in the hall

The second concubine slowly walked in front of the eldest wife.

Today, she is wearing a thin satin robe embroidered all over the ground with green, green, water-blue plum blossoms, a long skirt with thin folds and a moon-white long skirt, a bun, and three lapis lazuli carved with the words "Fu and Shou" diagonally inserted. A wish-fulfilling hairpin, with a long bead chain of pine blue agate stone hanging on his chest, and a gold-wire inlaid pink hibiscus jade bracelet on his wrist.

"Eldest sister..." The second concubine faced the eldest wife, her brows and eyes seemed to have a slight smile, but her tone was extremely gloomy, "When the master passed away, he temporarily handed over the head of the tea shop to you. After so many years, Thanks to the eldest sister for keeping the tea shop in good order and the business is booming, I thank the eldest sister on behalf of the descendants of the banker." Saying this, I gave the eldest wife a light blessing, then stood up straight again, and continued: "But now the children It's time for the big sister to enjoy the happiness. After all, the big sister can't always dominate the position of the banker's family with a foreign surname? This is neither reasonable nor reasonable! "

Having said this, Er Yiniang smiled, turned around to face the clansmen, and continued: "Today, I invite the adults, and the masters are invited to come here, just to let the adults be a witness, and I also want the masters to say something. To be fair, now that several sons of the banker have grown up and are married, should the position of the banker be returned to the original owner?"

The Zhuang family's clan nodded in agreement after hearing this.

At this time, Master Hu, who was in the right position, laughed and said: "Originally, this kind of housework is not my official's turn to intervene, but as this official is a parent official, since the second concubine is earnestly asking for it, this official can't ignore it. This matter still needs your Zhuang family to be independent. This official will only watch from the sidelines. In the end, you will perform your official responsibilities and uphold justice for you. It is also a testimony. Mrs. Zhuang, second concubine, all clansmen, do not worry about this official , even if they express their own opinions.”

After speaking, Mr. Hu picked up the tea bowl on the table next to him, opened the tea cup, and sipped it slowly, with a fair and stern look. But everyone knows the relationship between Master Hu and the second concubine, who will take his words seriously?

The people on the second concubine's side were all brightened, and the people on the eldest wife's side were afraid to speak out.

At this time, the fat white man named Zhuang Shoujing who was called "Uncle" by the eldest wife stood up, he shook his sleeves, revealing the emerald finger on his thumb, then looked at the eldest wife and said with a smile: "Brother and sister, although When the fourth brother passed away, he handed over the tea shop to you for temporary management, but after all, the younger brother and sister are women, and it is unreasonable to show their faces. Over the years, our uncles have heard a lot of gossip because of this. Yu Zhuang’s family style is always A kind of hurt. Before, the children were young, you couldn't trust us, and we had nothing to say, but now the children are all grown up..."

Zhuang Shoujing's voice was soft and feminine, with a faint and sharp feeling, which made people feel as uncomfortable as an ant bite.

Having said this, Zhuang Shoujing looked back at the others, smiled and said, "Nobu Yan will say, although this child is smart and clever, he is not suitable to be in charge of the tea business after all. His talent is not as good as Xin Chuan, now Xin Chuan has become a family and a responsible man..." He said, looking back at the eldest wife, and said with a smile, "Brother and sister, it's time to make the property that belongs to the banker. The things are handed over to the descendants of the Zhuang family!"

When Zhuang Shoujing was talking, Zhuang Xinyan brought Haifu and the others, the third concubine brought Zhuang Minglan, and Fang Yanxing and his brother heard the news. Seeing the situation in the hall, they all looked surprised. Zhuang Xinyan walked to Yueniang's side and found a place where he could see the whole situation. The third concubine, the third concubine, was standing in the last seat. Sister Fang Yanxing saw Qin Tian in the crowd and nodded lightly as a greeting. The two brothers Zhuang Xinchuan and Zhuang Xinzhong were unable to come because their injuries had not yet recovered.

The eldest lady smiled and was about to say something when a serious man named Zhuang Shouwen suddenly interjected, his tone was much stiffer than Zhuang Shoujing, "Brother and sister, male Outside the host, the hostess is the same principle for thousands of miles, now that the children are all grown up, and the younger brothers and sisters are so pressed on the children's heads, wouldn't the children become the laughing stock in the eyes of the world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, "Three Uncle" Zhuang Shouke also stood up and said in a rough voice, waving his thick arms: "I am a rough person, and I don't know any big truths, all I know is that the tea shop is me. What the fourth brother created is the property of the Zhuang family, and now it is the right thing to hand over the Zhuang family's property to the Zhuang family.

"Let Zhuang Xinchuan inherit the house, and inherit the tea business!" "Uncle" Zhuang Shoucheng followed closely.

The clansmen said one sentence one by one, pressing step by step, and what they said seemed to be reasonable. The eldest wife didn't even have a chance to speak out. Yueniang Qin Tian was watching, and she was sweating for the eldest wife. , but they are all servants, there is no room for them to speak on this occasion, and it is not their turn to intervene in this kind of family inheritance.

The second concubine looked at the eldest wife with a triumphant smile, Zhuang Mingxi kept watching everything calmly, Liu Bijun nervously tugged at the silk handkerchief in her hands, the third concubine frowned, her face a little unnatural, Fang Yan Sister Xing and brother Xing showed concern when they saw the eldest wife being forced.

After Zhuang Shoucheng finished speaking, the second concubine took over the words and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, look, if I have this idea alone, it can be said to be my selfishness, but even my uncles and clansmen are like this. Think, it seems that the problem is not on me, should the eldest sister accept everyone's advice?"

As early as when the eldest wife heard that Cuiwei said that the second concubine had invited her clan, she knew that she would face such a situation, so even though she was being persecuted by the clan, she did not lose her stance.

The eldest lady looked around for a week and said with a smile, "Hua Ying is very grateful to the uncles. Although the family has been separated for many years, the uncles still care and value the banker's affairs so much!"

These words were neither serious nor serious, making the expressions of the four brothers of Zhuang Shoujing a little unnatural, and one of them, Zhuang Shouwen, said coldly: "Although the family has been separated, we are all of the same clan. Since we are the same clan, the fourth brother's family How can we stand idly by?"

"That's it," the other three said with a smile.

The eldest lady smiled slightly and said unhurriedly: "My uncles always say that I am a foreigner. Yes, although I am a foreigner, I am not an outsider!" Walking in towards the clan and sisters, while walking, he said solemnly: "I am the first wife of our family, who was brought back by the grandfather, and my name, Jiang Huaying, is recorded in the family tree of the Zhuang family. people, death is the dealer's ghost, who can deny this?"

Having said that, she stopped, facing the uncles, with a smile restrained, and said word by word: "Yes, the house's family business was founded by the master, but before his death, the master gave all the decision-making power to the house. If you give it to me, you can trust me! Since even the master is willing to trust me, what else can others say?"

After some remarks, the uncles were embarrassed.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the second concubine rushed to the eldest wife and said loudly, "Master only temporarily handed over the tea shop to you, not to you. If the master knows that the person he trusts is greedy for the tea shop, he will be late. If you refuse to hand over the tea shop, you will definitely regret your original decision."

The eldest wife turned to look at her and said coldly, "Xiumei, from beginning to end, when did I say that I want to dominate the tea shop and don't want to hand it over?"

"That's good!" The second concubine's eyes widened, and she spread her hands toward her, "You hand it over! Today, in front of Master Hu, in front of the clan, you will transfer the account books of the tea shop to the tea shop. All the keys are handed over to Xin Chuan!"

The eldest lady straightened her back and coldly pushed aside Er Yiniang's hand that almost reached her chest: "I will hand it over, but not now, and I won't hand it over to Xin Chuan!"

The second concubine's face sank, and she said sternly, "Who do you give it to Xinchuan?" She turned around and pointed at the third concubine, "Is it to that weak and fearful Xinzhong!"

The third concubine trembled all over, and involuntarily looked at the eldest wife, her eyes suddenly lit up.
