Guo Yongzhi was still unwilling, he snatched it over and took a closer look, and found that something was wrong: "No, this is not like the handwriting of the eldest brother!" ”

Guo Yue, who was standing on the side, explained: "This is dictated by my father and ghostwritten by my little nephew. ”

"But... But the fourth brother is a concubine ・・・・・・"

"What!" Guo Xinzhi asked loudly, "What the second brother just said is not divided between the concubines and the concubines, didn't you hear it?" ”

Guo Yongzhi had nothing to say, immediately turned the direction of the wind, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the fourth brother!" Congratulations to the fourth brother! The fourth brother takes over as the patriarch, and our Guo family will definitely be famous for a hundred years, hahaha・・・・・・"

Guo Xinzhi's wife, Xia, regretted on the side, and asked the henchman next to her: "When did the eldest brother give the fourth brother a recommendation, they don't seem to have any contact・・・・・・

The subordinate thought for a while and replied: "That's true, but I'm afraid Madame forgot, Miss Guo once came to visit our house a few days ago, and later, I heard that I went to the fourth master's house again, I'm afraid it was ・・・・・・ at that time."

At this time, the unwilling Guo Jingzhi asked: "The fourth brother is so capable!" But when did you get your big brother's recommendation? ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and replied for Guo Minzhi: "One day, after the second uncle came to visit his father, his father sent Yue'er to write two letters of recommendation; Later, my niece went to visit Nobuyo's uncle's house and Toshi's uncle's house, and it was at that time that she sent it. ”

When Guo Jingzhi heard this, his hands couldn't help but clench into fists!

Xia asked, "You said two?" And what about another one? ”

Guo Jia glanced at her meaningfully, and smiled: "The other letter is not well written, and my niece has ruined it!" ”

"Ah・・・・・・" Xia Shi listened, his face was like ashes! She had already understood the ins and outs of the matter, but she never imagined that the position of patriarch she dreamed of was ruined by herself!

Thinking of this, she glanced at Guo Jia deeply, and her heart was full of mixed tastes, which was indescribable!

Guo Xinzhi's expression was shocked, and he said movingly: "The Guo family has always been elected for the position of patriarch; However, if there is a recommendation from the previous patriarch, it should be subject to the recommendation! The position of the patriarch is none other than the fourth brother, who else has any objections? ”

Guo Mianzhi smiled slightly and quietly walked away from Guo Jingzhi.

Guo Jingzhi restored his majestic demeanor in the past, and said gently: "Since this is the case, the fourth brother should take it out early in the morning." You are a talent that the big brother is optimistic about, but don't make any mistakes! ”

Guo Minzhi's jaw: "My brother understands." ”

Guo Jingzhi stood in the middle of the ancestral hall, Guo Minzhi stood beside him, and the rest of the people stood in an orderly manner. Guo Jingzhi said loudly: "The ceremony of the fifty-fourth patriarch of the Guo family - kneeling! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone sat down in an orderly manner.

Guo Jingzhi stood in the center and read out the ancestral teachings; Everyone, including Guo Minzhi, listened with low eyebrows. After two sticks of incense, everyone finally heard him shout: "Licheng!" Then they stood up one by one.

Guo Minzhi looked at the hundreds of people in the ancestral hall, some gloating, some obviously unwilling, a few gritted their teeth, and more were expressionless. The crowd hung their heads and waited silently for him to speak.

Guo Minzhi glanced at it and said loudly: "Today! I, Guo Minzhi, as the head of a clan, shoulder the heavy responsibility of thriving the Guo family's bloodline; I swear in the face of the ancestral tablet and the hundreds of people of the Guo family - I, Guo someone, will be strict in my duties, impartial, and seek benefits for the Guo family! ”

"Patriarch, niece has something to say." At this time, Guo Jia stood up.

Everyone was attracted to her and turned their heads to look at her, wondering what she would say.

"Oh?" Guo Minzhi also looked at her, "Niece, please speak." ”

"Soon after my niece returned home, she didn't know much about the family. However, a few days ago, my niece learned that my mother still has a lot of dowry, including some shops・・・・・・"

When Guo Jingzhi heard this, his expression turned grim, and he couldn't help but glance at his wife Qi.

"However, my niece has been back for so long, and she has never seen any income in the family, and she has always relied on her uncles to help her make a living・・・・・・"

Guo Jingzhi said tentatively: "Didn't the eldest brother sell all these properties?" ”

Guo Jia looked at him and shook his head: "No." Look, everybody—"

Guo Yue took out a stack of yellowed paper from his arms and handed it to Guo Jia; Guo Jia took it and showed it to everyone: "Everyone, I found the deed of these shops at home, but these shops are gone!" ”

Qi came closer and took a closer look, it was really the deed of those shops!

Little slut! I've been looking for so long and I haven't found it, and you found it so lightly! Call me how willing!

Seeing the three sisters of the Guo family fall to the ground, Guo Jia choked up and said, "Please ask the patriarch to make decisions for us!" ”

There was silence in the ancestral hall.

Guo Jingzhi took advantage of the eldest brother's serious illness to occupy the property of his brother's family, which is something that everyone knows each other.

This is undoubtedly a problem for the newly appointed patriarch Guo Minzhi!

Guo Minzhi was an official outside before, and he only came back not long ago, and no lady knew about these things in the family. But he thought about it, and knew in his heart that someone must have occupied the property of the eldest brother, and this person's power is not small, it is very likely that it is Guo Jingzhi!

"Oh? There are such things! He pondered for a moment, "But my niece has a deed, so it must be difficult to recover the property." ”

Guo Jingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "You don't have to look for it, I sent someone to watch the shop!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and even Guo Jia couldn't help but raise their eyebrows and look at him!

Guo Jingzhi continued: "My niece doesn't know, since my eldest brother had a stroke, she can't speak and can't move; A long time ago, I went to visit him, and when my eldest brother said that when he arrived at the shop at home, he was very worried. I've been doing a lot lately, and I've been so busy that I forgot to tell my niece! ”

Qi took over the conversation and echoed: "Yes! It's not that your second uncle wants your property, it's just that the eldest brother is like this, and Jia'er will marry in the future; Yue'er has to be busy reading again, let alone Sheng'er! As your uncle, we naturally have this obligation to help, everyone said, isn't this the reason? ”

Guo Minzhi's wife Xu suddenly spoke: "That's right! Since she is helping to take care of it, now that Jia'er's family affairs are gone, she can just take care of the shop, and her sister-in-law should return the shop to her! And lest anyone gossip! ”

Qi Shi maintained the smile on his face with difficulty, and said with some embarrassment: "This, this, the current stewards are all cooked, in my opinion, it is better to continue to do it, I will send the money I earn to the eldest brother's mansion every month・・・・・・"

"Poof", someone couldn't help but laugh! Qi's face was even more ugly!
