The old lady seemed to be completely blind to everything that was happening in front of him, looked at Zhang Xian's ears intently, stretched out his hand and touched it gently, showing a loving smile, and said: "Okay, good, the birthmark is still there, if it is really my good grandson, grandson, today's matter, grandpa will definitely give you an explanation!" Okay, call a subordinate to drag the king's steward down, although he has done evil, but the man is dead, so let's be buried alive! ”

After the old lady finished speaking, his face regained his fortitude, and several subordinates carried away the body of the Wang housekeeper and cleaned up the bloodstains, and the old lady continued to say to the following, "Today's old man confirms that this is my Zhang Xian's grandson, from now on, who dares to say a word to Zhang Xian's grandson behind his back, that is, to be disrespectful to the ancestors of the Zhang family, and must directly remove this person from the family tree, this is the old man's testament, you have all heard it clearly?" ”

Everyone stood up in fear and replied respectfully, "Obey the orders of my father and grandfather!" ”

The old lady suddenly stood up with a red face and said: "The matter of the Wang butler, you take Daniel Zhang to the county to ask for the guilt, how the county master will be punished, you will be left to fate!" cough cough cough ....... cough cough cough ...... If a family wants to develop and grow, it must be brothers, brothers, brothers, Don't make trouble for the wall!! ”

The old lady coughed and repeated that he wanted to be a brother and a friend, but he also had a deep meaning, Zhang Xian's father slowly stood up, knelt down in front of his father, and said:

"The child obeys his father's teachings, and his father once said that he would make the child the patriarch, but the child remembered his father with a painstaking heart, and today he swore to heaven that the child will never be the patriarch! If you violate this oath, the sky will thunder! I also hope that my father will choose another merit from among the three elder brothers! ”

The old lady nodded at Zhang Xian's father, shook his head again, and said earnestly: "Do you think that the position of this patriarch means power and wealth?" Wrong, this is the position of continuing the ancestral incense and carrying forward the spirit of the ancestors, if the patriarch does a good job, a family will develop and grow, and if it does not do well, it will disappear and even fall apart"

"You four brothers, I don't think any one can bear the burden of the patriarch, the big house is shrewd, but the benevolence is insufficient; The two bedrooms and three bedrooms are mediocre, and there is no responsibility to be a patriarch! Sifang has a little talent, but in recent years, in order to find Xian'er, he has been depressed, and today he has made a vow that no one can deceive the sky. Today, the old man decided to let Zhang Xian's grandson inherit the position of the patriarch of my Yangzhou Zhang family! Do you have any comments? ”

When the old lady finished saying the decision in his heart, everyone was stunned, who doesn't know, the patriarch must be a respected person to be the patriarch, although Zhang Xian has a meritorious reputation, but after all, he is still a hairy guy who has not yet started a family, isn't it a fantasy to be the patriarch? Why did Daniel Zhang kill people today, and how could Zhang Xian not know? He has just crossed over, and he needs to maintain a relatively stable and peaceful family relationship, Zhang Xian himself was also shocked by his grandfather's arrangement, completely unexpected, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Grandpa, never, never, the position of the patriarch is not a grandson to shirk, but the position of the patriarch, has always been a respectable person to live in, must be supported by the clan, grandson, I don't want to say that the person is respectable, that is, even the marriage is not completed, say it, isn't it a joke of others?" Besides, just now, my cousin was filled with righteous indignation and committed manslaughter, and the matter has not been decided in court, so I hope that my grandfather will take back his life. ”

Daniel Zhang and his father, at the beginning of listening to the old lady say, let a little boy be the patriarch, hated so much that he gritted his teeth, today's matter, this tomboy, actually let his father and son's plan to conspire come to naught, but angry that he did not dare to expose, even more angry, the old lady actually wanted to let this tomboy be the patriarch, and his heart was even more indignant. , When he heard that Zhang Xian immediately resolutely refused to be the patriarch, his heart calmed down a little, and he said secretly, you are a kid! If you really become the patriarch, your life will come to an end.

Daniel Zhang's father hurriedly knelt down in front of Grandpa Zhang Xian and said: "Father, father, it's not that a child has to be a patriarch, but it is indeed inappropriate to let the unmarried little virtuous nephew be the patriarch!" This unrighteous ......"

"Shut up!" The old lady shouted, and her face suddenly became gloomy. "Dafang, there are some things, my father is just sick, but I'm not stupid, I'm not dazzled or deaf, don't you understand what I mean when I say brother, friend and brother? The previous matter, my father didn't want to delve into it, I hope you read the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, and seized countless letters of collusion between officials and Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao did not pursue it, but burned it with a fire! ”

The old lady said this, walked in front of Zhang Xian with difficulty, and continued, "Do you know why Cao Cao burned these incriminating evidence? Why? It's not for the sake of unity yet. In today's turbulent world, Tartar Koubian, my Great Song Dynasty is facing a precarious predicament, and the hard days are still to come! Extraordinary times to do extraordinary things, although my Zhang family in Yangzhou is a big family, but not a wealthy family, let alone a family, if you are allowed to fight like this, my Zhang family not to mention prosperous, can there be a peaceful day? Letting Zhang Xian's grandson be the patriarch is not my brain fever for a while, but the result of careful consideration and many considerations."

"First, Zhang Xian's grandson has become the patriarch, and there is no need for your brothers to continue fighting from now on; Second, although Zhang Xian's grandson is young, after all, he is a tribute and famous, and his future is unlimited, even the family does not dare to laugh at such a young patriarch; Finally, you have also seen how Zhang Xian's grandson skillfully exposed Steward Wang's matter just now, in terms of resourcefulness, I think you are unmatched! Respectable, that's not from the grade, it's made for the family's contribution. Therefore, today's old man chose Zhang Xian as the patriarch! cough cough cough ....... cough cough cough ......."

The violent cough made the old man unable to support his body, Zhang Xian helped his grandfather to sit on the chair again, watched his grandfather talk and coughed, and handed his hand towel to his grandfather. Now that the old lady is terminally ill, I am afraid that this patriarch himself will not be able to shirk it, but looking at the bitter and bitter appearance of Daniel Zhang's father and son, his bitter life is estimated to have just begun! It seems that his own crossing is just like the line of the game advertisement: bare-ass at the beginning, be a small patriarch first, and I don't know what to do later, what plot is waiting for me.

When Zhang Xian saw that a large pool of blood clots had coughed up on his grandfather's hand towel, he immediately shouted: "Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa coughed up blood clots!" Hurry up and invite Lang Zhong to grandpa! The other uncles and cousins hurried around.

"Don't go to Langzhong, the old man is running out of oil and the lamp is dry, Zhang Xian's grandson, grandpa will pass on the position of patriarch to you now!"

The old lady said and took out a bunch of keys and an account book from her arms, and handed them to Zhang Xian with trembling, "In the future, the Zhang family will rely on you, grandson!" Are you going to promise grandpa, promise grandpa? Be kind to everyone! ”

"Grandpa, grandchildren have promised you that you will carry forward the family and treat the clansmen well!" Zhang Xian didn't expect that the old man's illness would come so quickly, facing a dying person and his grandfather's identity, what else could he do but promise?

"Okay, good, good, your four brothers and seven cousins have promised me that after I die, I will wholeheartedly assist Zhang Xian as the patriarch and carry forward my Zhang family! cough cough cough ....... cough cough cough cough ...... "The old lady has a weak cough, but his face is full of red light, and he has already returned to the light, who dares not to agree to the old lady's request at this time!" Even Daniel Zhang's father and son gritted their teeth, and Tie Qing nodded with a blue face.

"I promised my father and grandfather!" When everyone finished speaking, the old lady drooped her head and drove west with a quiet smile!
