Sure enough, Wu Yuan stopped at Old Lady Shen's place for a few minutes, and after receiving the old lady's praise, he came to Zhu Tianpeng's table, sat down and nodded at Shen Mulan with a smile.

Shen Mulan's face twitched, and the typical skin smile did not smile, which was considered a return gift.

Zhu Tianpeng wanted to laugh, knowing that it was not an occasion, he could only hide his true intentions by eating and drinking, he had already seen that except for Shen Mulan, all the young men at this table were handsome and handsome.

From the hostility in their eyes when they looked at themselves, they could judge that these people should be the fast son-in-law of Chenglong that the Shen family found for Shen Mulan.

He ate the fruit snacks on the table as he looked left and right, unconcerned about their hostility.

Suddenly, he saw an acquaintance, Shen Manru, and the whole person paused, while Shen Mulan followed his gaze and also saw her.

"What?

Shen Mulan said with a smile in his ear, Zhu Tianpeng just smiled and didn't react much.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's just curiosity, you are all surnamed Shen, you should be relatives!"

Shen Mulan nodded and said:

"Shen Manru is the third grandfather's branch, according to the seniority, I should call her a sister, but I think she is too deeply influenced by the third grandfather and is too realistic, so I can't talk about it.

I heard that she and Situ Hao are developing well, and only people of that status are the objects of her affection. ”

Shen Manru also found Zhu Tianpeng, smiled and waved his hand here, Zhu Tianpeng could only respond with a smile, but Shen Mulan snorted coldly and ignored her.

The host of the banquet was just about to move on to the next link, when he suddenly saw Old Lady Shen beckoning, he hurriedly ran over, handed the microphone to Old Lady Shen's mouth, and waited respectfully for Old Lady Shen to speak.

Old lady Shen took the microphone, and the martial arts hall was suddenly silent, and everyone was quietly looking at this old man with a childish face.

He looked around, his gaze swept over, and Zhu Tianpeng only felt that his eyes were amazingly bright, like two light bulbs.

After a long time, Old Lady Shen said slowly:

"Fellow juniors of the Shen family, today is another day for us to get together once a year.

As we all know, in the past few months, a lot of things have happened in my Longhua land, and I can describe it in eight words, which is 'the return of spiritual energy and the great prosperity of martial arts!'

Thinking of my Shen clan, the Wu clan, after more than a thousand years of turbulent times and wars, can still stand, relying on the spirit of martial arts and the unity of the clan.

In the past 100 years, martial arts have withered, and the wind of doing business has risen greatly, so although my Shen family still attaches great importance to martial arts, in fact, most of them have become merchants.

Now that the world has changed suddenly, in order to cheer up my Shen family's martial arts, I solemnly announce it today. ”

At this point, he glanced at his three sons again and continued:

"I declare that since the Spring Festival, I will follow the ancient law again. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar below, and the second master, the third master, and Shen Mulan's sixth grandfather all looked horrified.

Old Lady Shen coughed, and the Yanwu Hall suddenly returned to quiet.

"Following the ancient law, it is to respect martial arts, and the strongest one in the family will have the absolute right to speak on the family industry.

That is to say, except for the children with excellent side branches, the rest of the resources will be allocated by that branch.

In addition to not participating in political affairs, not violating national laws and disciplines, and not maliciously bullying side branches, no one is allowed to disagree with the decisions they make. ”

Although there is still silence off the field, almost everyone's eyes have changed, which is related to everyone's interests, and it is naturally difficult to stop the heart.

"In addition, I have also slightly adjusted the ancient family law, whether it is male or female, but all the people of the Shen family, including immediate family members such as husband and wife, children, and other direct family members, as well as the personal disciples recorded in the family tree, can fight for the one they belong to. ”

His stipulation made many people suddenly turn their minds again.

"Maybe many people will lose a lot of benefits because of this, and they will also resent me because of it!

I don't care about any of this, everyone should know that after the great prosperity of martial arts, if a family has strong military support, then it will inevitably be more prosperous.

And if you are still indulging in the enjoyment of money, then the decline of this family is only between the morning and the sun.

I am not alarmist, although this move is painful, and even has a lot of troubles, but only this move can revitalize my Shen family, as the head of a family, for my Shen family, although I am broken, I will not destroy it. ”

After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, she handed the microphone to the banquet host who was already standing aside, and then sat down.

After the meal was served, everyone had lost their appetite in the face of the exquisite dishes, some were whispering, some were wrinkled on their foreheads, and some were full of confidence.

Regarding the affairs of the Shen family, Zhu Tianpeng knew that it had nothing to do with him, and after a morning, he was already hungry and thirsty in his belly, regardless of the surprised eyes of others, he ate and drank without scruples.

At the end of a meal, he ate with a fat stomach.

At the end of the banquet, just when he thought that his task was about to be completed, he was led by Shen Mulan to a huge private room, and when he went in to take a look, he found that the headache was still behind.

The younger generations all brought their other half to greet the old lady, while those who had no object were left cold and did not dare to complain.

Shen Mulan and Zhu Tianpeng wanted to step forward, but they were stopped and told that the old lady had other instructions.

The two of them sat aside, and it didn't take long for Shen Mulan to be called away by an elder, leaving Zhu Tianpeng alone here, waiting boredly.

After a while, the old lady left the private room, and seeing this situation, the children of the Shen family, who were left aside, breathed a sigh of relief and chatted.

Zhu Tianpeng was not far away from them, but they didn't seem to have any scruples, and the voices of the discussion became louder and louder.

After a while, although Zhu Tianpeng didn't want to listen to the Shen family's affairs, he still passively knew a lot.

Among the three branches of the Shen family, there is not much difference in the strength of the two generations of the ancestors and the fathers, but when it comes to Shen Mulan's generation, there is a gap.

The second master's team is the strongest, not only a few heirs in the family have awakened their abilities, but also the strongest disciples, and Wuyuan belongs to this one.

The third master is weak, but they control most of the Shen family's industry, and if they follow the old lady's intentions, they will lose the most benefits.

The sixth master is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he doesn't like to fight the most, but Shen Mulan is a variable, and she alone has the ability to change the pattern.

Old Lady Shen's decision was not too sudden, she had been chattered many times before, and because of this, the second and third masters wanted to start with Shen Mulan, as long as Shen Mulan married her own one, then the strength of her own one would inevitably increase greatly.

From their conversation, Zhu Tianpeng also knew that it was the second master who was in charge of the banquet, so he deliberately did not set up a name tag for him, so he had a reasonable explanation.

Zhu Tianpeng was listening attentively when a servant came over and took him to another private room.

Pushing the door in, I saw Old Lady Shen sitting there alone, closing her eyes and recuperating.

Zhu Tianpeng instinctively wanted to turn his head and leave, but he felt that it was not suitable, since he came, he would be at ease with the situation, so after the servant went out, he stood there and waited for Old Lady Shen's lecture.

Who knows, this wait is half an hour, and he was still a little anxious at the beginning, but seeing that Old Lady Shen seemed to be asleep, he sighed, and simply closed his eyes, and remained silent.

"You, your name is Zhu Tianpeng?"

Hearing Old Lady Shen's hoarse and low voice, Zhu Tianpeng opened his eyes and met his bright and somewhat excessive eyes.

"Yes, I am Zhu Tianpeng!"

Zhu Tianpeng returned, while Old Lady Shen continued with interest:

"My great-granddaughter I know best, you are her colleague, with her temperament, it is very likely that someone will pretend to be her boyfriend, in order to deceive me, an old man. You say, yes or no?"

Zhu Tianpeng's heart immediately beat wildly, but he still stabilized his mind and did not show any flaws.

Although Mu Lan didn't have a very good temper in the eyes of outsiders, she just didn't meet her beloved, and she was actually just a little girl under her strong appearance.

Your great-granddaughter and I are indeed colleagues, but because of this we know each other, and although I cannot promise anything, I will take each other seriously with her and will not make her sad. ”

"Okay, I'll believe you once, but you have to know that there are more people than you who are as good as the carp that crosses the river, and if Mu Lan has a new love, you shouldn't hinder her. ”

Zhu Tianpeng smiled slightly and said:

"Old lady, please rest assured, the love between men and women is originally a matter of two people, if Mu Lan likes others, I will naturally not be stalked. ”

Old Lady Shen was quite satisfied with his answer, and said to the back:

"Mu Lan, come out!"

Shen Mulan walked out of the screen behind her, gave Zhu Tianpeng an OK gesture behind her back, and then walked over and stood next to him.

"Mingren doesn't say code words, Shicai Mu Lan saw a few carefully selected objects of my Shen family, but they didn't catch their eyes, she said that she only loves you, although I am old, but I am not ignorant, and I don't want to be a person who beats mandarin ducks.

But if you want to become the son-in-law of my Shen family, it is not so simple, at the end of next year, it will be the first time that my Shen family will decide the side branch of the main line according to the ancient law, if you can help Mu Lan win the status of the main line for the sixth branch, then I will agree with you to associate with Mu Lan.

Until then, the two of you are not allowed to cross the thunder pool by half a step, can you agree?"

The big stone in Zhu Tianpeng's heart finally landed, and he naturally gladly agreed to the old lady's conditions.

"That's nature, everything is up to the old lady. ”

In order to avoid being exposed, the two did not spend the night at Shen's house, and when they returned to Tianjing City, it was already dark, and on the way back, Shen Mulan seemed to have something on her mind, and Zhu Tianpeng didn't ask much when he saw this.
