In a suburb north of the city of London, there is a small valley with lush greenery, and a small stream flows through the valley and then empties into a lake at the bottom of the valley.

On the right side of the valley, there is a row of houses by the lake, and in the center is a small palace-like house.

But the strange thing is that these houses are all civil structures, all of which are Chinese classical buildings, which contain a strong connotation of Chinese culture.

Such clusters of Chinese-style houses, placed in the UK, are quite rare!

But if you know which family lives in it, it won't be surprising, because it is the Chinese family that has been in the UK for the longest time!

It is also the Wu family in London and even in the entire British Chinese, the overall strength can be ranked among the top three - the Wu family!

At this time, in a small courtyard in the innermost courtyard of the Wu family's compound, two old men were sitting face to face in front of a stone table, on which a pair of chess boards were placed.

"Smack!"

The one dressed in a luxurious Tang costume, full of white hair, and obviously older, walked into battle with a crisp sound.

"Smack!"

Another old man, who was obviously a housekeeper, did not hesitate and set up a gun carriage.

......

For a long time, the old man in Tang costume was a chess player, and the general directly solved the battle.

"Master, are you still here?"

The butler asked softly.

"Don't come, people are old, you can't sit for too long, get up and walk!"

The old man in Tang costume said with emotion, picked up the faucet crutch next to him, and was about to stand up, but the housekeeper immediately got up to help.

With the support of the housekeeper, the old man in Tang costume walked around the yard a few times, and then looked at the hundred-year-old ginkgo biloba in the yard.

Stretching out his old hand to gently caress the dry and wrinkled bark, he sighed, "I'm old, I don't have a few years to live." ”

After all, the housekeeper grew up with the old man in Tang costume since he was a child, so he naturally heard the deep meaning of the old man in Tang costume and other meanings expressed, his face was equally complicated, and he said with concern: "Master, you will definitely be able to live a long life." ”

"Haha, Ah Fu, there's no need to say such things. ”

"Ah Fu, I vaguely remember that when I was a child, my grandfather lived in this yard, and I frolicked under the ginkgo tree with you, but I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and it was twilight in a blink of an eye. ”

People are always more emotional when they are old, and they prefer to reminisce about the past, the old man in Tang costume looked at Ah Fu, the housekeeper who was supporting him, and said with emotion.

"Master, the cycle of life and death is a normal thing, you have worried about your family all your life, it's time to rest. ”

Butler Ah Fu said softly.

Hearing the family, the old man in Tang costume showed a helpless smile and sighed: "My father handed over the family to me, I didn't dare to relax for a day, I should have been able to rest a long time ago, but ...... Hey......"

Knowing that the old man remembered the second young master Wu Huasheng who had passed away, the housekeeper Ah Fu also shook his head with a complicated face, and he was also uncomfortable.

Wu Huasheng is the second son of Wu Chengde, an old man in Tang costume, who has been talented since he was a child, and is very interested in business, with a bit of atmosphere from his ancestor Wu Bingjian, in his spare time at the age of 13, he began to understand the family business, and at the age of 21, he began to enter the family business.

Wu Huasheng learns everything very quickly, thinks wildly, and is born with a big heart, does not panic when encountering problems, takes care of everything tightly and orderly, and his ability is much higher than that of the eldest young master Wu Huachang.

For the long-term development of the family, the head of the Wu family is served by the most outstanding people of the same generation, of course, Wu Huasheng, who has outstanding ability, is naturally valued by Wu Chengde, although he is not the eldest son, but he was appointed as the first heir of the family early, and the other rooms are very supportive.

The eldest son, Wu Huachang, saw the situation clearly, gave up competing with his younger brother Wu Huasheng, and worked hard to assist Wu Huasheng and strive to strengthen the family.

It seems that talent will be inherited, Wu Huasheng's son Wu Hongyi is also not inferior to his father, and he also has Wu Huasheng's atmosphere when he was a child, smart and studious, plus Wu Huasheng always teaches by word and deed, Wu Hongyi grew up very quickly, and pressed Wu Huachang's two sons.

The performance of Wu Huasheng's father and son made Wu Chengde shout that there are outstanding people in the Wu family and successors.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and on a business trip, Wu Huasheng died in a car accident, along with his wife, leaving only the young Wu Hongyi.

When this shocking news was transmitted back to the Wu family, Wu Chengde didn't believe it even if he was killed, and when he saw the bloody corpses of Wu Huasheng and his wife, he fainted on the spot and stayed in bed for three days before he got up.

The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the blow to Wu Chengde was too great, especially since this dead son was not just his son, but also the first heir of the Wu family, shouldering the burden of reviving the Wu family, and was the hope of the entire Wu family.

But such a rising sun fell halfway like this, and the future of the Wu family was also overshadowed.

Wu Huasheng's death, the consequences do not stop there, his son Wu Hongyi suffered the death of his parents at a young age, his temperament changed greatly, and he gradually became silent and liked to be alone in a daze.

And Wu Hongyi's intelligence and studiousness when he was a child have also disappeared, which makes Wu Chengde even more difficult to accept, and keeps enlightening Wu Hongyi, but it is difficult for anyone to enter Wu Hongyi's heart.

As he grew older, Wu Hongyi became more cheerful, but he also showed that he was not keen on the family business, and his personality became indifferent, not fighting or grabbing, and only knew how to blindly tolerate and escape.

Two years ago, he bought a house outside, and since then, he has rarely returned to Wu's house, which makes Wu Chengde very disappointed.

The first heir died, and the eldest son Wu Huachang appeared in front of Wu Chengde again, and the people in the other rooms were not as good as Wu Huachang, but in Wu Chengde's eyes, Wu Huachang's ability was not very outstanding, at most he was more than successful, and he was not enterprising enough.

There was no way, he could only continue to take care of it himself, and then consciously cultivate Wu Huachang, and Wu Huachang also realized that the opportunity had come, and studied diligently, hoping to take the position of head of the family in his hands as soon as possible.

Moreover, Wu Huachang also consciously cultivated his two sons, but I don't know why, the eldest son is not as good as the younger son, Wu Huachang also focuses on cultivating the younger son Wu Honglin, and he is even less concerned about the eldest son Wu Hongqi.

"Ah Fu, is there any situation in the family?"

Both of them were silent for a long time, and Wu Chengde, an old man in Tang costume, looked up at the sky and asked lightly.

"Master, nothing else is fine, but the second young master and the third young master have changed a little. ”

Butler Ah Fu reported respectfully.

Hearing that the two grandsons of the next generation were related, Wu Chengde's eyes froze, and a touch of expectation unconsciously appeared in his heart.

He is really old, he can't manage the family for long, the Wu family must complete the transfer of rights as soon as possible, so that he can leave with confidence, otherwise if there is any accident, he will not be blind when he dies!
