Chapter 37: Nangong Muhan
Of course, if Zhou Min knew that the person in front of her was the one who killed her own brother, then it was probably not a scolding, but a direct action.
Although it was not for the sake of brotherhood, but in this Qianzhu country, no one could mess with the Zhou family.
"The head of the house. The second lady has something urgent to ask for. After being ordered by Zhou Min, the family who went back to Zhou's house to spread the news went to the main hall and found Zhou Zhenghai who was deliberating.
"Wait a minute, the head of the family and the elders are discussing business." The housekeeper of the Zhou family stepped forward to stop the family who was about to knock on the door.
"But..."The family thought about it, anyway, asking for silver is a matter of words, so he will wait for a while.
Inside the main hall.
"Family master, the major grain and oil shops and silk villages under the name of our Zhou family have suffered serious losses recently." The Great Elder of the Zhou Family flipped through the ledger in front of him, slightly worried.
"This matter will be dealt with by the head of the family." Zhou Zhenghai sat in the main seat, his fists clenched in his sleeves, he was not his good brother-in-law, he only dared to make small moves behind his back before, but now Kuan'er has just died a few days ago, and the mourning hall has not been withdrawn, and his troubles are endless.
There are also the following elders, who didn't like Kuan'er to be the future head of the family before, but now that Kuan'er is dead, their fox tail will be cocked early, and they will support those few side lines behind them, and they will also stab them in the back.
Now that the major industries under the name of the Zhou family have been impacted, how many of them have their handiwork, and now they are united to question him?
In vain, he returned his power to them on weekdays, and he flattered them a lot, and he rebelled without saying a word when something happened.
"Family master, now that the Zhou family has no heir, have you considered succeeding a young master?" The three elders were smiling below, and the words they said made Zhou Zhenghai's face turn blue.
Min'er also mentioned this matter, although she didn't say it explicitly, but she couldn't guess the meaning of the words. Her own brother's death is unknown, and she doesn't look sad at all. and the people below are all of the Zhou family's bloodline, but now they don't talk about it at all. Kuan'er is also the young master they grew up watching, so there is really no friendship at all?
If it weren't for the ancestral training of the Zhou family, the head of the Zhou family could only come from the lineage, and I am afraid that he would be ousted from the position of head of the family the day after Kuan'er's accident.
Zhou Zhenghai snorted coldly, "There is no rush to pass the succession." Now that the head of the family is also middle-aged, it is not impossible to add another young master to the Zhou family. ”
The following elders were a little embarrassed when they said this, so it seemed that they were in a hurry.
"That being the case, we don't have to ask too much about a few of our old things." The Great Elder stood up and arched his hand, "I also ask the head of the family to solve the problem of industrial losses as soon as possible." ”
The Great Elder got up, and the other elders also left their seats. When Zhou Zhenghai saw this scene, a trace of darkness crossed his eyes.
These elders of the Zhou family are all respected by the great elders. The prestige of this Great Elder is a few points higher than that of him, the head of the family, which is not a good sign.
The butler opened the door, and the elders went out of the hall in turn.
The family who came back to deliver the news met with the elders, and then. Entered the main hall, "See the head of the family, the second lady asked me to come back and ask the master for help." ”
"Min'er? What's wrong with her? Zhou Zhenghai hurriedly asked. Now Kuan'er has had an accident. Although the eldest daughter is a concubine in the palace, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and Yun'er is not the most favored. Therefore, now he can only count on this, the second daughter who is under the hands of the first-level sect elders. This Min'er is the only bargaining chip that he can now sit firmly in the position of the head of the family, and nothing can happen.
"The second lady auctioned the pill at the auction house, and now she is short of 400,000 taels of gold, so the little one will come back and bring the money to redeem the second miss." The little guy knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Four hundred thousand taels of gold!" The Great Elder, who had not yet gone far, turned back when he heard Jiading's words.
"The head of the family, the entire family business of our Zhou family is only one million taels of gold, and these two young ladies owe 400,000 taels when they go out once!" The Great Elder felt that his qi was a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Zhenghai's face was also ugly, as soon as the money was taken out, the industrial chain under his name was afraid of...
Jia Ding looked at Zhou Zhenghai's hesitant face, thinking about Zhou Min's words in advance, "Second Miss said that when she returned to the Heavenly Sword Sect, she would give Elder Tianjin, and the 400,000 taels would be returned. ”
This Tianjin Elder is Zhou Min's master, the alchemy elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Hearing this, Zhou Zhenghai's face was gloomy, indeed, this elixir is what Elder Tianjin needs, and now that the money is not enough to have the Zhou family, this Elder Tianjin should not be repaid, after all, as a first-level sect, the alchemy elder is not lacking silver. These 400,000 taels were only the money he used to refine an elixir, and he would not put it in his eyes.
Moreover, through this matter, the Zhou family can also brush up some goodwill in front of this elder, and when the Zhou family looks at the face of this Tianjin elder, they don't dare to overthrow him easily.
The more Zhou Zhenghai thought about it, the more he felt that the 400,000 taels were worth it, "Take my family's order and go to each bank to transfer silver." Zhou Zhenghai instructed the housekeeper on the side.
The Great Elder looked at Zhou Zhenghai and was about to withdraw the money without saying a word, and persuaded, "Family Master, this is half of the Zhou family's property!" ”
"Great Elder, don't worry, you also know that Min'er's master will not treat the Zhou family badly." Zhou Zhenghai was relieved.
When the great elder heard this, his beard was about to rise up, but even though the housekeeper had already gone out, Zhou Zhenghai would not change his mind, so he could only throw off his sleeves and leave, and sneered before leaving: "The head of the family has really raised a pair of good children!" ”
Aren't you a good son? The son spends all day drinking and not doing his job, and the daughter goes out and takes half of the family property at one time. I'm afraid that if the family continues like this this week, it will be...
The Great Elder looked back at Zhou Zhenghai, who didn't know what he was thinking, it seemed that he should also consider the proposal of the second master.
The Qian auction house here, the sick beauty in the box, and the white-clothed man, were also about to leave, and went down the stairs, just looking at the dumping phoenix who went out.
"Qingfeng, that woman, have you seen it somewhere?" Nangong Muhan stared at the back of the Tilting Phoenix, and his eyes were stained with some emotions that he was not aware of.
Qingfeng heard his son's words, and also looked at it carefully, "Childe, this..."
A back, where does the familiarity of the son come from? A woman of that size, they have a lot of sects, okay...
"Let's go. Ahem. Nangong Muhan put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly twice.
"Childe, are you really not going back to the sect? Your body..."Qingfeng looked worried on the sidelines, "It's enough to have Elder Qingchen here." ”
"I'm fine, ahem. This body is an old problem, don't worry. Nangong Muhan looked at the place where the Tilting Phoenix had disappeared, and stared for a long time before retracting his gaze, "I finally got my father to agree to come out, and I don't want to go back so early." ”
Nangong Muhan has loneliness in his eyes, he has been born for twenty years now, and his father has never allowed him to go out by himself because of physical reasons, and now he finally has the opportunity.
I don't know how long my body can last, and I still have to walk more about this great river and mountain, so it's not in vain.
