Chapter 315: Zhen Yu succeeds as the patriarch
"It seems that I am still a step late...... Liu Tao came to the mourning hall, and it was Zhen Yu who received him, after all, he was Zhen Yi's eldest son, even if he was only eighteen years old, he had to preside over everything, because he was about to become the head of the family.
He may not be able to become the patriarch of the Zhen clan in Zhongshan, but he is the head of the Zhen Yi lineage, after all, the other children have not yet separated.
"I was going to come over and treat him, I'm sorry." Liu Tao solemnly apologized to Zhen Yu, and the posture must be sufficient.
"No, no, it doesn't have to be like that." Zhen Yu hurriedly helped Liu Tao up, "My father's illness came quickly, and it deteriorated quickly. When we realized that the situation was critical, we didn't expect that only three days later, with a snowfall, my father left. ”
Zhen Jiang was only notified a few days ago, and others hurried from the clouds to Zhongshan in the winter snow, and judging from the distance, they knew that others were doing their best to hurry. In this case, no one is qualified to take charge of Liu Tao, and even say thank you.
Thank him for coming from the clouds in the middle of winter, this heart is enough.
After all, Liu Tao is only the marriage partner of the Zhen family, and he and Zhen Jiang are actually not married yet. Zhen Yu knows very well that Zhen Jiang is indeed too young, even if he can get married, he, as an elder brother, is also a little worried. The initial agreement of three years was also based on this reason.
Under the leadership of Zhen Yu, Liu Tao entered the mourning hall, and Zhen Jiang was already lying on the coffin, crying into tears. Zhang, dressed in white, slowly came to her side and comforted her.
Sure enough, it is 'a woman who is pretty and filial', Zhang is also in his thirties this year, and his mature temperament with white filial piety clothes can directly awaken the primitive impulse of men. Or the man himself can't figure out whether he wants to protect her at the moment, or conquer, or both.
Speaking of which, after Zhen Yi's death, the Zhang family never remarried, but silently raised Zhen Yi's children. In this respect, she is a qualified, even excellent, wife and mother.
"Deran meets his mother......" Liu Tao stepped forward to salute, there is no father-in-law and mother-in-law in these years, and there is no father-in-law and mother-in-law, Taishan Taishui.
Even Dong Cheng is the cousin of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, because Dong Guiren is his father-in-law. In "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", the title of 'Dong Cheng, the general of the emperor's chariot and cavalry', is used.
Later, Pei Songzhi noted the Three Kingdoms, and said that he would use this title because there was no relationship with the title of 'zhangren' in ancient times.
Liu Tao didn't know what to call him, and he didn't want to use it rashly, so he used 'mother' to call him. Anyway, even in modern times, it is normal to call your father-in-law and mother-in-law like this.
"Deran, I didn't expect you to go in person, I'm really sorry." Zhang looked back at Liu Tao, saluted him, and then apologized to him.
I guessed that it should be my daughter begging, so I had to come over. However, being able to come over also means that he really cares about Zhen Jiang, which makes her very moved.
Zhen Yi's death means that the patriarch has to choose again, and Zhen Yi's status in the Zhen family is naturally not as good as before. If in the end, the side line becomes the patriarch, it is impossible to say that the marriage will have to be renegotiated and the marriage partner will be arranged.
It is even possible that Zhen Jiang will change from an eldest woman to a dowry daughter of other clansmen, which is the worst result.
Liu Tao is now coming forward and calling her 'mother' in public, which also means that he is standing on Zhen Yi's line. In terms of Liu Tao's current importance to the Zhen family, his position can solve many problems.
At the very least, it would save her from a lot of problems. Just yesterday, the day after Zhen Yi's death, a family member privately revealed that the following side departments were already thinking about letting her, an 'outsider', give up the power to take over.
Zhen Yi died, and she temporarily managed the power of the head of the family, mainly to maintain the normal operation of the family business and various affairs. But in the eyes of many people, she is an 'outsider' after all. On top of that, she does lack a voice.
"My father is seriously ill, and I, who is a prospective son-in-law, should also come over to have a look." Liu Tao said slowly, "Originally, I was still thinking on the road, if I could catch up, I should also find a way to rescue it, but unfortunately it was a step too late in the end." ”
I also considered the possibility of cheating his death, to test the attitude of him or other clansmen. After all, how could someone who originally died in 186 suddenly die early at the end of 185?
So when he came in, he had already secretly cast vitality regeneration on Zhen Yi, but the magic power only covered him, and then dissipated. The magic power did not enter Zhen Yi's body, which meant that Zhen Yi, who was lying in the coffin, had lost his vitality.
Unlike healing, healing is the effect of external healing, using his magic to replace the vitality of life to heal injuries. But vitality regeneration is different, it is the magic that stimulates the body's life potential to promote self-regeneration.
It has no vitality in itself, so naturally it cannot be stimulated again. In this way, he really confirmed that Zhen Yi was really dead, and even laughed at himself for a moment if he was a little suspicious.
"Well, you have a marriage contract with Jiang Er, and you are not an outsider." Zhang nodded, "It's casual here, after all, now that something like this happens, we can't entertain you well." ”
"It's okay, I can take care of myself, and if I need anything else, just ask." Liu Tao replied.
For the next few days, he struggled to play the role of an excellent son-in-law. Although this will be very troublesome, after all, he has to wear a mask to make his thoughts not very clear.
In the past few days, he has firmly stood on Zhen Yi's side, and the clansmen who came to pay tribute to Zhen Yi, as well as the families that are friendly with the Zhen family, such as the Changshan Zhang family, the Zhongshan Zhang family and the Zhongshan Su family, have all learned about his position.
Many of the interests of several families today are tied to Liu Tao's side, and if he is in a position, then they also have to stand in a position.
The Zhen clansmen, who originally planned to force the Zhang family to relinquish power and even give up power, had to choose to accept this fact. The future of many clansmen is on Liu Tao, and no one wants to offend him at this time.
"Yu'er is still young, and I, as a mother, am responsible for assisting from the side. In addition, I also hope that all the clan elders can supervise and advise Yu'er so that he can grow into a qualified patriarch. In the end, the Zhang family pretended to be a tiger and retired Zhen Yu from the throne.
Her identity is equivalent to the Queen Mother, and she is also the Queen Mother with real power. The difference is that she is all about the Zhen family, because she swore a poisonous oath that if she harms the interests of the Zhen family, she will not die well.
The people of Yan Zhao are light on wealth and righteousness, and they can not hesitate to take risks for the sake of a promise. The Zhang family dared to swear like this, and the clan elders were dissatisfied.
It's just that Liu Tao is not very relieved, Zhen Yu seems to be short-lived in history, and he doesn't know how many years he will live. I don't know if I have a way to save him. Otherwise, it will be too late to wait for Zhen Yan to grow up.
"Zhen Yu's physique is weak, if he can, he should be urged to exercise properly in the future and exercise his physique...... "Liu Tao privately mentioned it on Zhang's side.
He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, the Zhang family also reacted, Zhen Yu was really similar to Zhen Yi, and his physique was not strong, so he began to worry for a while. I have to thank Liu Tao, without his reminder, it is estimated that this hidden danger has not been discovered.
