The hall of the Huangfu Mansion is the core of the whole family, it is a single building covering an area of two acres, with arch beams, the hall is wide and bright, enough to accommodate hundreds of people, at this time the Huangfu family is discussing family affairs, and deciding the candidates for the Huangfu family to participate in the competition for the head of the household.

The candidate for the head of Hu Cao began to be discussed as early as a month ago, and the first third old man, Huangfu Baiwei, proposed that the second grandson Huangfu Zhuoyu should be the candidate of the Huangfu family, the reason is very simple, Huangfu Zhuoyu is the grandson, who will this person not give him?

But the patriarch Huangfu Bailing opposed Huangfu Zhuoyu as a candidate, Huangfu Zhuoyu couldn't even take the Xiucai exam, how could he compete with the outstanding children of the other five families, just at this time, Huangfu Weiming was admitted to the Gongjushi, which brought great honor to the family, and Huangfu Bailing proposed that Huangfu Weiming be the candidate for the Huangfu family to compete for the head of the household.

Today will be the moment to decide the final candidate, more than 20 high-status elders of the whole clan gathered together, the patriarch Huangfu Bailing sat in the middle, there was a long row of seats on both sides, full of family members, on the last chair on the left sat Huangfu Weiming, and the seat opposite him was empty, that was the seat of the second grandson Huangfu Zhuoyu, but he did not come, in this way, Huangfu Weiming was the only third-generation disciple here.

'When! A bell rang, the time for the meeting came, Huangfu Bailing, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, he glanced at the last vacant seat, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, such an important clan meeting, there are still people who dare not come.

His eyes fell on Wei Ming's body again, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and endless disappointment swelled in his heart, thinking that Wei Ming, who he fancied, could bear his trust, and fight with him at today's clan meeting, but he was also a cautious person, and would rather his son cut off his finger than dare to offend the second child.

In the final analysis, Wei Ming still lacks a kind of courage, and it is impossible for a person who lacks courage to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Huangfu family and compete with other families, and Huangfu Bailing felt a burst of frustration in his heart.

Grandfather's blazing gaze made Wei Ming lower his head, he was ashamed for a while, his grandfather had great expectations for him, but he didn't dare to fight for it, he knew what the consequences of taking away this place would be, it would definitely cause an uproar within the family, and the family would even split from this, without the support of the second uncle, he would not be able to compete at all, but he would offend the second uncle, and after the second uncle became the patriarch in the future, he would never have a good life.

Wei Ming is very eager to get this place, but he hopes that the second uncle can give up his prejudices and fully support him, this is the reason why his son broke his finger yesterday, he swallowed his anger, he hoped that the second uncle would be sorry for him, and finally agreed that he would compete on behalf of the family, at this moment, Wei Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, he felt a little naïve, cutting his finger is one thing, but the number of candidates is another, how can the second uncle give up his son's future for this matter.

In the lobby, sitting on the first one on the right is naturally the eldest son Huang Fu Xu, he saw the dissatisfaction in his father's eyes, and couldn't help but scold his son for being a bastard, no one at such a critical time, needless to say, must be to find the prostitute in Ruyi Lou again, although he hated his son for being incompetent, but he was secretly happy in his heart, he had received the news last night, his father was likely to give up the candidate for the head of Hu Cao, he knew that this must be Huang Fu Qu played a role in the back.

"The time has come, there are still people who have not come, we will not wait, according to the clan rules, those who do not come for no reason in the three clan meetings will be disqualified from participating in the clan sacrifice within three years, no matter who it is!"

Huangfu Bailing's eyes were stern, and he glanced at his son Huangfu Xu, which was a warning to him, Huang Fu Xu wiped the sweat on his forehead, and did not dare to explain.

"Today's meeting is to determine the candidate who will represent our Huangfu family to participate in the competition for the head of Hucao, this position of director has been vacant for a long time, the county government has released a word, and the new director will be determined in the six major families in Huaiyang County, the position of head of Hucao is very important, and it is directly related to the vital interests of our Huangfu family in Donghai County, so I hope that our Huangfu family can get this position, then who will represent the Huangfu family, everyone proposes!"

The patriarch's words made everyone stunned, wasn't it already decided that Wei Ming would run for election? Today's meeting is just a formality, how did it become a proposal from everyone? People with shrewd minds immediately thought that this must be Huang Fuxu who made waves again, things have changed, and there was silence in the lobby, and no one said a word.

At this time, the third old man, Fu Baiwei, stood up and said with a smile: "Patriarch, I am willing to recommend someone." ”

A wry smile appeared on Huangfu Bailing's face, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Wei Ming would take the initiative to ask for help, but now it seemed that Wei Ming had no chance, so he nodded, "Say it!" ”

"I recommend the second grandson Zhuoyu as the candidate to represent the Huangfu family, he is the second grandson, he is the only one, I don't know what the patriarch thinks?"

There was a whisper in the lobby, recommending the second grandson, but the second grandson was not present, what is this called? Huangfu Bailing glanced at his proud son, he knew that Huangfu Zhuoyu would definitely not be able to compete with other families, but if he was not chosen, his son would never give up, and there would be another incident, so it mattered! He was about to say yes, but at this moment, several family members rushed outside and were stopped at the door, they jumped to their feet and anxiously shouted to Huang Fuxu: "Master, something is wrong!" ”

Huangfu Xu immediately scolded them angrily, "Dog, this is a clan meeting, who let you make trouble!" ”

Huangfu Bailing got up and asked, "What happened, why are you so panicked?" ”

"Patriarch, lord, the second son of Zhuoyu was broken in Ruyi Building, and his injuries are very serious."

"What!"

Huang Fuxu jumped up in shock, he didn't care about the clan meeting, and yelled: "Who did it?" Who dares to hurt my son? ”

"Master, he is a foreigner, and he is said to be the son of Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, called Li Die."

A lot of people in the lobby were 'poof!' I laughed out loud, what a bunch of fools, how dare anyone call him 'your father'."

At this time, Huangfu Bailing suddenly thought of something, and his eyes brushed towards Weiming, only to see that his face was pale, and beads of sweat oozed from his head, Huangfu Bailing suddenly understood, slowly squinted his eyes, and secretly gave a thumbs up, "Yes, very courageous!" ”

At this moment, he changed his mind in his heart, so he coughed and said to Huang Fuxu, who was thunderous: "After the clan meeting first, you can go to Qinglou to see your son." ”

Huang Fuxu heard the displeasure in his father's tone, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhuo Yu being in Ruyi Building, he had no choice but to endure the anger in his heart, lowered his hand and said, "Yes!" Patriarch, please continue. ”

Huangfu Bailing took a deep look at Wei Ming, and slowly said to everyone: "Budweiser nominated Zhuo Yu as the candidate for the head of Hu Cao, which is not bad, but since he was injured, under the unclear injury, we should leave a little leeway, I suggest that Wei Ming make an alternative, if Zhuo Yu's injury is too late to run for the election of Hu Cao, then Wei Ming will be selected, he has won the Gong Jushi examination, and won a great honor for our family, enough to hold this position, what do you think?" ”

Everyone applauded together, in fact, Zhuo Yu was only the first choice in name, his legs were broken, where could he still go into battle, Huangfu Bailing did not wait for Huangfu Xu to get up and object, so he said categorically: "Since everyone agrees, then it will be formalized, but it is clear that he is the second candidate for the head of Hucao." ”

Wei Ming didn't expect this to happen, although he finally won the qualification to run, but he also knew that Zhuoyu was injured, and he couldn't help but secretly complain, "Wu Jin! You've caused a big deal for your big brother. ”

．．．．．．

After the meeting, Huangfu Weiming was led to the patriarch's study by a subordinate, and the subordinate knocked on the door, "Master, someone brought it." ”

"Is it only Ming? Come on in! The voice of Huangfu Bailing came from the room.

Wei Ming entered the study, this is the second time he entered his grandfather's study, the last time was half a month ago, the study was fresh and elegant, the wall hung a picture of a hundred sons wishing his birthday, a desk by the window, in front of the desk was a sandalwood high-backed chair, Huangfu Bailing sat on the chair and looked at him with a smile.

Wei Ming hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Grandson see grandfather!" ”

"You're welcome, go close the door."

Wei Ming closed the door, walked up to his grandfather, and waited for his grandfather's command.

Huangfu Bailing smiled slightly, "Are you very resentful that your brother caused trouble and forced you to take this position?" ”

"Grandson doesn't dare!"

At this point, Wei Ming no longer concealed his thoughts, he bowed down and said, "Grandson is indeed very willing to run." ”

"It's pretty much the same, how can a man's husband have no ambition in his chest?"

After a pause, Huangfu Bailing smiled again: "But I admire Wu Jin very much, although he injured his second grandson, but this style of tit-for-tat is my favorite, that bastard dared to run to the scoop when he had an important clan meeting, it was time to teach him a good lesson, break his legs, and fulfill my wish." ”

"But grandfather, there is no evidence that Wu Jin did it, and I haven't seen anyone else."

Huangfu Bailing looked at him for a long time, then smiled faintly, "I understand your feelings of defending your brother, but in front of me, you don't have to hide anything, I have already said it, I appreciate him, and you are going to compete with the other five families, I hope Wujin can also help you." ”

Huangfu Bailing walked to the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes were fixed on an apricot tree outside the window, the branches were already full of green apricots, his eyes showed a complicated look, and said slowly: "Weiming, you also know that your father is not my biological son, but for twenty-seven years, I have always regarded you as my grandson, when your father died that year, my last words to me were to hope that the two of you brothers could live a peaceful life as much as possible, without waves, but I didn't expect you to be admitted to the Gongjushi, and Wujin appeared at a critical time, I think this is the will of God, since the will of God is so, then I should go with the sky, although you do your best to fight for the head of the household, the family will spare no effort to support you. ”

Wei Ming smiled bitterly in his heart, this Cao is not something he can fight for with his efforts, this is actually a power struggle in the officialdom of Donghai County, and a competition for the financial resources of the six major families, in fact, it has nothing to do with him at all.

Wei Ming was more concerned about his life experience at this time, and his grandfather mentioned his father, which aroused his curiosity about his life experience, so he asked in a low voice: "My grandson is twenty-seven years old, and I am about to stand up, can my grandfather tell my grandson a little bit about his father's true identity?" ”

Huangfu Bailing shook his head, "I promised your father that you would only be able to tell you your true life experience when you were thirty years old, but I can tell you one thing first, your father's real name is not Tianzhu, but Tianfeng." ”

Huangfu Bailing lowered his voice: "You have to remember, your father's real name is only known to you in the world at this time, and you must not disclose it to anyone, including Wujin, otherwise you will be killed." ”

"Grandfather, rest assured, grandchildren must keep secrets."

'Tianfeng! But chewing on the name carefully, he suddenly asked: "My father told me on his deathbed that once his true identity is revealed, it will set off a bloody storm in the Daning Dynasty, grandfather, is that so?" ”

"You don't have to test me, I have already said it, and I will tell you when you are thirty."
