Chapter 6: Each Bears a Ghost (Part II)
Thank you for the evaluation votes of the four-leaf lotus and Mu Crimson~~ On a summer day, the child's face will change, and the sun is still arrogantly hanging in the air just now, steaming and roasting the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In a short time, a cloud drifted in, and the sky became a little gloomy, and in an instant a strong wind blew in all directions, and the white flags under the porch were blown in rows, and the air was filled with a damp smell.
Mother Zhao was thinking about the rain in her heart, and walked quickly through the middle hall, in such a hot weather, the old lady has not yet gathered, if it can rain, the weather will be cooler and it will be convenient to stop.
Passing through the middle hall, the main hall in the front yard is the mourning hall, Zhao's mother motioned for Qingmei and Xinghua to go outside to guard, and then whispered to Kang Yan: "Girl, everything is done, there should be results tonight." ”
Kang Yan knelt in front of the spirit with a heavy filial piety, nodded when she heard the words, and ordered: "Mom, go clean up a good room, I estimate that the patriarch is about to arrive, let the patriarch rest for a little night, and then talk about the matter tomorrow morning." ”
Mother Zhao nodded in response, looked at the thin girl who was kneeling with her head bowed, and then looked at the old man and wife lying side by side in front of the spirit, held back her tears, and asked, "What should I do if the girl thinks about the next thing?" The girl doesn't want to succeed the second young master, my mother can understand, my wife used to say that the second young master is more than generous, and he is not clever enough, if he doesn't succeed the second young master, can the girl think of a candidate to succeed? ”
Kang Yan shook her head, "Mom has a candidate in mind?" "Mother Zhao is her nurse, she speaks and does things very safely, and Kang Yan is also willing to listen to her opinions.
Zhao's mother considered the method of discussing with her husband and told Kang Yan: "Since it is not the second young master, it also breaks the rules of succession, the eldest master, the third master, the fourth master, the fifth master, and the sixth master's young master can all succeed, the five old masters have a total of ten young masters, and the fourth master's family only has one fifth young master, and it will definitely not be inherited, and the eldest son of each room has to stand up to the door, and he can't pass it, so that the fourth young master, the eighth young master, and the seventh young master of the fifth master's family are left who can succeed, The ninth young master and the tenth young master of the sixth master's family can be selected. ”
Indeed, "Mom has seen them, do you think that one is better?" "Kangyan interface.
"The girl is now fourteen years old, if she steps a brother, she has not married a wife, and it is inevitable that there will be many more rights and wrongs between the sister-in-law, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the sister-in-law has a relationship between the sister-in-law, if it is just face, the future girl's family affairs are only afraid of difficult, rather than this, it is better to step a younger brother, anyway, the girl has three years of filial piety, raising the younger brother at home, in the future he will be grateful to you, the sister and brother rely on each other no more than the stepbrother to be at ease, just in this way, The property left by the old lady has to be taken care of by the girl first. Zhao's mother analyzed slowly.
After being reborn, Kang Yan planned that no matter who succeeded her, she would take care of the family business left by her parents, but she had to admit that Zhao's mother had a reasonable analysis, although it was said that women could go out to do business, but after all, they were a minority, and most women were still content with their husbands and children in the house, and if she had an eldest brother, it would not be reasonable to take care of the family business instead of handing it over to the eldest brother, but if she had a younger brother, it would be understandable for her to take care of the family business on behalf of her younger brother.
"Then who is more suitable for my mother to think of the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth brothers?" Kang Yan tried to frown and think about the temperament of several people, and she had the impression that they were of similar age, except for Shiro, who was seven years old and slightly younger this year, the other three should all be nine or ten years old, although she had seen several cousins, she was not very familiar with them, and she remembered that before she was killed in her previous life, it seemed that the seventh brother was a Xiucai, and the others were not impressed.
Mother Zhao shook her head, "I have seen several young masters in the past when they asked their wives to say goodbye during the New Year's Festival, and it is said that after such a major event, we need to inquire about the temper and temperament of several young masters before making a decision, but now that time is pressing, it is better to let Chengzi inquire now, and the girl will also take the opportunity to observe and observe tonight, and then make a decision, we are short of time, and we will decide on the successor tomorrow morning at the latest." ”
Chengzi is the only child of Zhao's mother and Uncle Zhao, fifteen years old this year, he is smart and flexible, it is appropriate to send him to the countryside to inquire, Kang Yan thought about it in her heart, and said: "Let Chengzi pay more attention to the situation of several younger brothers' families, especially the seventh brother." "Kang Qilang can be seen to be a smart child, and Kang Yan's heart is a little inclined to him.

In the evening, Uncle Kang's two sons Kang Dalang, Kang Erlang and two daughters-in-law, sister Kang Jia, Kang Sanshu's three sons Kang Saburo and his wife, Kang Shilang and Hachiro all arrived, and everyone in the third room of the Kang family also came in a hurry, the three old ladies, the three old ladies and their three sons, daughters-in-law, five grandsons and the only granddaughter Kang Yu, I have to say that except for Kang Yan's father's room, the other rooms of the Kang family are all prolific families, and they are all male.
The three old ladies also invited the patriarch to come over, and everyone first went to the spirit of Kang Zhixun and his wife to cry and worship before going to the hall where the mourners rested next to them.
Uncle Kang is ready to ask the patriarch to arrange the succession, only when the succession is decided, the funeral can be done later, after all, many rituals need to be completed by the stepson.
Uncle Kang's mouth hadn't opened yet, but someone opened his mouth first, "Oh, the eldest brother and the third brother came really early, they both live in the same family, why did the eldest brother and the third uncle get the news first?" "It was Uncle Kang who was talking, his face was dark, his face was square, his nose was wide, he was holding his hands at the moment, talking to Uncle Kang and Uncle Kang, there was a slight anger on his face, the eldest and the third couple got the news in the morning and rushed over, but they covered the news to death, and left their son and daughter-in-law at home to stabilize them.
Uncle Kang's eldest son, Kang Dalang, pursed his lips and snorted: "What did the fifth uncle say, after my father and third uncle got the news, they were sad and sad, and they were worried that Sister Yan would not be able to stand things alone, so they rushed over first and asked me to inform our whole family, who knew that the fifth uncle's family went to my aunt's house, and it took me a lot of effort to find you, isn't it too late for the whole family to come?" ”
Between the words, the responsibility was all put on Uncle Kang's family, Kang Yan raised her head slightly, and took the opportunity to observe the people in the hall, at this moment the hall was full of adult men of the Kang family, according to the rules, female dependents were not allowed to appear on such occasions, and the reason why she was allowed to appear here was because she had to talk about the succession later.
Kang Dalang is handsome, because he has been studying, he even has a bit of bookish breath on his body, and his face is white, but unfortunately, Kang Yan can't help but sigh secretly in his heart, he has a pair of eyes that are not very honest, his eyes are too oily, and it can be seen from what he said just now that this person is very selfish, and he doesn't care much about the overall situation, and I have heard that he looks down on several brothers of his family because of his reading, and now it seems that it is true, his words seem to be reasonable, but when you think about it, his words are contradictory, The old lady and the second old lady of the Kang family are gone, and the third old lady is the only elder, so such a big matter should be reported to the third old lady first.
Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, the third old lady knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand heavily and snorted coldly: "Da Lang is my old man dead?" ”
Kang Dalang's face changed slightly, because the third old lady's seniority was not good to refute, so he had to snort angrily, but Uncle Kang explained with a sneering face: "Third uncle, your old man is too careful, I am afraid that you will suddenly hear about the death of the second brother and his wife, and his body will not be able to support it, so I asked Da Lang to slow down and tell you." ”
This sounds better, the third old lady's face is slightly better, but she still refuses to let go of Uncle Kang: "You are afraid that my old man will not be able to hold on, your fifth brother is not at home, but your fourth brother and sixth brother are here, why should you call them to come together, why did you and the third brother come first, it is too unusual." ”
Uncle Kang lowered his head slightly, covering the ridicule on his face, if he hadn't overheard the conversation between the boss and Da Lang, the boss wouldn't have been so kind to ask him to come together, the boss and his family were thieves, but Kang Yan's girl was also smart, and they didn't get greedy for any oil and water when they came early.
Uncle Kang's face turned red when he heard this, thinking about the succession of the third old lady in the future, the elder nodded, forcibly endured the unhappiness in his heart, and muttered: "What the third uncle taught me was that I was negligent. ”
Seeing him admit his mistake, Master Kang Wu and Master Kang Liu began to argue with Uncle Kang a little impatiently, especially Master Kang Liu also brought the smell of wine, and his speech was even more unscrupulous, only Master Kang Si stood aside, a trace of impatience flashed on his face, but he didn't say a word.
Next to Uncle Kang stood a young man about twenty years old, with a thin figure, a square face, and a pair of honest eyes.
