Three days later, the sky was gray and the wind was howling.

Zhong Xuanlan's family, the elders of the ten major clans of the Zhong family, and the heads of each family were not afraid of the cold and gathered at the Zhong family ancestral hall again.

Zhong Xuanlan's family stood on the steps and looked at everyone.

Some looked hesitant, some were happy, and some were displeased......

Zhong Xuanlan asked, "Everyone, how are you thinking about it?" Do we need to negotiate again? ”

Zhong Xuanche wanted to give those who hesitated a chance so that they would not regret it in the future, and said, "Family Master, we want to discuss it again. ”

Zhong Xuanlan looked at everyone: "Do you need it?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at the elders of the ten clans in front of them.

Seeing this, the clan elders gathered together and discussed in a whisper......

The old man of the Zhong Er clan was unwilling, and it was difficult to refuse, so he agreed to discuss it again, and maybe he could bring over a lot of people, and the side branch might be stronger than the branch of the grandson.

Seeing that the elders of the Zhong Clan agreed, they also nodded.

After some deliberation, it was decided to discuss it collectively again.

Zhong Xuanche stepped forward and said, "The head of the family, we have discussed it, and we want to discuss it again in private." ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded and ordered, "Uncle Zhong opens the hall." He reminded the clansmen: "You finally give you three incense sticks, the prosperity of Kyoto City is not as simple as you think, I hope you are cautious, once you break away from the lineage, the two branches are far apart, and if there is something in the future, the head of the family will never interfere." ”

After Uncle Zhong opened the side hall, he went in to burn incense, and everyone followed into the side hall.

For a while, the side hall was quite lively, but Zhong Xuanlan's family did not participate.

The sky was dark and oppressive, the cold wind was blowing, the trees in the courtyard were blown and rattled, and a few jackdaws flew low in the sky and chirped lowly.

Zhong Tinghao leaned against the pillar of the corridor, and Zhong Xuan leaned from the chair against the railing beside him.

Both of them looked at the straight man standing in front of them to the right, staring at the people inside the ancestral hall.

Both father and son showed a touch of pity in their eyes, but they couldn't help, so they could only accompany her here.

Wang Xuannian, who was standing on Zhong Xuanlan's right side, stretched out his hand, slowly approached Zhong Xuanlan's hand, and nervously tried it a few times, and finally mustered up the courage to hold the hand that was slightly larger than his.

At the same time, Zhong Xuanlan reached out and held the hand that was only a little calloused, and there was warmth in the palm, as if there was a warm current integrated into the tip of her heart, which made her heart slightly warm.

Tilting his head slightly, he saw Wang Xuannian looking ahead, his side face crimson.

She thinks her husband Junsha is cute.

Wang Xuannian turned his head as if he felt something, and happened to see the corners of Zhong Xuanlan's eyes curl, and the corners of his mouth raised a trace of arc.

With a shock in his heart, he wanted to laugh a little, but he was also a little uncomfortable.

Thinking: Lan'er, you have so many faces, I used to think that I saw your most beautiful smile, but I never thought, there is even more beautiful, was it real before or is it real now?

Zhong Xuanlan saw that Wang Xuannian was depressed and squeezed his hand.

Wang Xuannian came back to his senses, restrained his emotions, pulled a smile, and slowly turned his head to stop looking at Zhong Xuanlan.

Zhong Xuanlan frowned slightly, stared at Wang Xuannian's side face for a while, and then shifted his gaze and no longer paid attention to the matter.

The father and son watched the interaction between the two, and both sighed and shook their heads, very helpless, anxious for them.

The two shook each other's hands and stood in the cold wind, their cloaks blowing loudly, but it did not affect their emotions in the slightest, and they stood there silently, waiting for the new fate of the Zhong clan.

When the three sticks of incense burned out, the crowd came out.

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at everyone, and he already had a bottom in his heart.

After standing up, Zhong Xuanlan let go of Wang Xuannian's hand, walked to the steps, faced everyone, and said majestically: "Now the sect is divided, the descendants stand on the right, and the side branches stand on the left." Time for a stick of incense. ”

Uncle Zhong lit a stick of incense, placed it in the incense jar, and began to timer.

Zhong Xuanlan turned around and stared at the spiritual position of the patriarchs of the past dynasties, and his eyes were fixed on Zhong Zhihong's spiritual position.

Great-grandfather, did you ever think that the Zhong family would come to this point? You brought them to Kyoto to create wealth, but they had other ideas, will you be disappointed?

The great-granddaughter can't take them all away, but as long as the granddaughter is safe, the great-granddaughter will keep the granddaughter.

Eyes moved down, saw the spiritual position of Mrs. Zhong, and a scene flashed in her mind, her grandfather taught her to write, read account books, play chess, deal with business house affairs, how to face the shape of the ** people......

At this time, Zhong Xuanlan's words flashed in his mind before his grandfather's death:

"Xuanlan, your great-grandfather began to regret moving into the imperial city after your aunt entered the palace. And my beloved daughter brought disaster to the family, causing your brothers and sisters to lose their mothers, and ruining our Zhong family. Xuanlan don't have to be merciful what you want to do in the future, just do what you want, I just ask you to take the Zhong family's business behavior as the center of hatred and the Zhong family's business firm, it is the hard work of several generations, bring it back to the ancient city, don't let it be destroyed. Last thing, your great-grandfather's last wish, I have not fulfilled it, I hope you can do it for us, and bring all the Zhong family to the ancient city, which is our foundation. ”

Zhong Xuanlan retracted her thoughts, but she couldn't let her great-grandfather and grandfather get her wish after all.

These people have witnessed the prosperity of Kyoto City, how can they still succumb to the ancient city?

She can only give up, since they want power and wealth, she will give them a way to get their wish.

Wang Xuannian felt that the people around him were releasing coldness, turned his head slightly, and saw Zhong Xuanlan hooking his lips and smiling, which made him feel that this smile was ill-intentioned, and shook his head slightly, but he could not ignore it in his heart.

Uncle Zhong saw the last bit of incense ash fall into the altar, and reported: "The time for the head of the family is up." ”

Zhong Xuanlan turned to look at the people behind him, and first looked at the Yan branch on the right, there were about twenty people.

and looked at the side branches that accounted for most of the people, some people were expressionless, but their eyes were joyful, some were triumphant, and some were smiling......

Zhong Xuanlan retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone is quiet, now that everyone has chosen, then we will start to divide the sect, and then divide the family business." Uncle Zhong please genealogy. ”

"Yes." Uncle Zhong was ordered to enter the house and ask for genealogy.

This Zhong You stood at the gate of the ancestral hall and said loudly: "The big boss, the queen mother summons you." ”

When Zhong Xuanlan heard this, he was dissatisfied, and looked at everyone: "The matter of dividing the sect continues today. ”

Uncle Zhong inside listened to it, continued the movements in his hand, and went to open the secret grid to get the genealogy.

Here, Zhong Xuanlan walked to the gate, whispered a few words to Zhong You, and then turned around and returned to the steps.

took over the genealogy from Uncle Zhong, turned to a new page, took a brush, and began to write on a new page about the division of the Zhong family today.

When the ink dries and the seal of the family is stamped, the matter is done.

Next, he instructed Uncle Zhong to take over the branch of the side branch and make a new genealogy.

Zhong Xuanlan said: "Everyone, the head of the family has something, please cooperate with Uncle Zhong to complete the next things, if anyone relies on the old and sells the old, the head of the family does not mind expelling him." Tomorrow, the Clock Mansion Council will discuss the division of industries, and I hope you will not be late. ”

After speaking, he glanced back at Zhong Tinghao's father and son and Wang Xuannian, turned his head, and walked forward.

Wang Xuannian looked at the figure leaving, and felt very lost in her heart, she was always like this, leaving without saying a word, never thought that he would be worried?
