Hate? For the eldest brother who took away the position that should have belonged to the head of his own family. In Yanmoke's heart, he really didn't know whether to hate or be sad. For his eldest brother, this brother who has grown up with him since he was a child and has been close since childhood. The family relationship between them is more than a star and a half deeper than those other, half-brothers.

It's not that he hasn't thought about competing with his eldest brother for the position that should have belonged to him as the head of the family. But in the end, he chose to give up and gave up the position of head of the family to his eldest brother. Since then, he has been far away from his homeland and hometown, and has come to the sky of the empire, known as Beizhou. defected to an uncle of his family.

Although Xiaodi was not his only choice, there were also clansmen among his relatives who served as officials in the state capitals and counties near their homeland. But in the end, he chose to come to the farthest uncle. And did not choose those, relatives who were closer to their homeland and hometown. But it was also in order to better avoid his own family, so he lived in seclusion in the sky and settled down here.

Soon after he left, the eldest brother also got his wish and succeeded him as the new head of the Yan family. Those relatives who were secretly co-opted by the eldest brother also received a lot of care from the eldest brother because the eldest brother succeeded him as the new head of the family. And the relatives who once supported him at home did not suffer any oppression and exclusion because of the succession of his eldest brother.

In this way, the eldest brother and himself fought after the death of his father, and the clan fought for the position of the new head of the family. The clan was divided into two factions, the pro-eldest brother and his own relatives, and both of them were successfully appeased by the eldest brother. Those relatives who once supported themselves saw that the eldest brother was already in the boat, and they were not suppressed and excluded because they supported them, so they did not oppose the eldest brother. Since then, the eldest brother's status as the head of the family has gradually stabilized in the clan.

But in order to avoid it, there was a dispute between relatives because of the competition for the position of the head of the family, which damaged the family's situation. But it also caused the mother's family, as the county and the Yan family are called together, and the Yu family of the two clans in the county is also at odds with the eldest brother who succeeded as the head of the Yan family.

Since then, the two families that originally had in-laws have gradually become like fire and water in the county. Although the eldest brother also tried to alleviate the conflict between the two families. After all, the two families are called the two clans in the county, which shows the weight of the Yan family and the Yu family in the county.

The eldest brother who wanted to marry the Yu family again was rejected many times by the Yu family, who had no room for it. Since then, there has been no marriage between the two families. And when the county recruited officials, the rules that should have been discussed and recommended by the two families became two families competing with each other. As a result, in the past few decades, the number of children in the family who have been recruited to become officials and officials is much smaller than in previous years.

Then another incident happened, which also made the family lose a lot of face in the state. That is, as the eldest brother of the head of the Yan family, he took the initiative to propose to the Wen Mansion of the Yue family, a famous family in the state, to marry the daughter of the Yue family as his wife... But in the end, the Yue family refused, and the eldest brother, the head of the Wangzhi clan in the state, did not marry the clan daughter to him. Because of Yue's refusal, the eldest brother, who is the head of the family, has attracted a lot of gossip between states and counties.

In the end, he had to settle for the next best thing and married the daughter of the scholar family in the nine counties of the county. Later, he also took a few concubines and gave birth to a son and two daughters. In the past few decades, he has never returned to his homeland. In this way, from the clan uncle county where he took refuge, he went to the Changjia set in this old forest... followed him in Changjiaji, and his wife, who never left him, also died here... Left behind her daughter, Hui Niang, who is still very young.

And after the death of his wife, he moved to the current Niushi Fang, which can be regarded as a real long-term residence. In order to better raise Hui Niang, he accepted the daughter of the Kua family, a large family in the fang, and made his own side room...

More than ten years have passed. As I grew older, I became more and more attached to my hometown. The death of his daughter's husband also made him feel ashamed of his daughter. Although he knew that the son of his friend's family had been a little weak since he was a child. But I didn't think that I was originally here to find a good home for Hui Niang... In the end, his daughter was widowed early.

And soon after he picked up his haggard daughter from the Rong family... The people in his hometown also brought the news that his eldest brother, who was the head of the family, had passed away. At the same time, he also brought the elders of the family and chose himself as the new head of the family.

But after the death of the eldest brother, he did not let the nephew, who was supposed to be succeeded by his father and son, succeed to the position of the head of the Yan family. Under the recommendation of most of the clan elders who are extremely heavy in this family, in the end, the position of the head of the Yan family fell to him again.

As for the elders of the family, the reason why they chose to succeed themselves as the head of the family. It's not the eldest brother's heir, his own nephew. But he also knew it in his heart... Because in the decades since he left, the confrontation between the Yu family and the Yan family, the mother family of this county, is one thing.

The current head of the Yu family in the county is the son of his uncle and his cousin. If he can return to his own family, he will succeed him as the head of the Yan family. But naturally, the decades-old antagonism between the two families in the county will be resolved, and then the marriage between the two families will be restored again. At this time, among the several letters on the table, one of them was written by the cousin of the head of the Yu family, and it was brought together with the family letters in the clan.

The letter also made it clear that after the death of the eldest brother, the Yu family put pressure on the Yan family. As a relative of his mother's family, he found several clan elders with high status in his own family. Support yourself to return to your own family and succeed to the position of head of the Yan family. And under the mediation of his cousin, the elders of the Yan family also listened to his advice after thinking about it. Therefore, in the position of the head of the family, who will inherit the big matter, but they all chose themselves.

remembered that when I was young, I followed my mother back to Yu's house to visit my relatives, the cousin who didn't learn and didn't know how to provoke my uncle and was angry all day long. When he left his house, he rode his horse angrily, caught up with his chariot and horse, and complained that he didn't even tell him before leaving. But I don't want to be the head of the Yu family now...

On the other hand, because he was a protégé of the famous family Yue in the state. even married a daughter of the Yue clan as his wife. Although he only had one daughter with his wife, he was also the bloodline of the Yan family and the Yue family. For the eldest brother, a protégé who also studied under the Yue family in the past, and the head of the Yan family. The Yue family, who didn't have a cold very much, also rejected the eldest brother and came to the door to ask for a Yue family. In the past few decades, I haven't accepted the children of the Yan family as disciples.

If he is the former protégé of the Yue clan and the son-in-law of the daughter of the Yue clan to succeed as the new head of the family. With his relationship with the Yue family, as well as the bloodline of the two families on his daughter Huiniang, he will definitely be able to get in touch with the first-class Wenfu Yue family in this state.

A big clan in the county that is in the territory of Zhengzhou and cannot have a certain relationship with the first place in the state, the Menwen Mansion Yue clan, is really rare. Because of its pivotal position in the state and the influence of its protégés all over the state, the Yue clan has also become proud of all the children of the state sergeant clan. It is precisely because of this that he was recommended by the Yue family, and there are not a few officials in the state.

After the external cause, there is also the internal cause of the eldest brother himself. That is the injustice of the eldest brother to get the position of the head of the family, and it is also the point that he is criticized by the family. Even after these decades, there are still many people in the clan who have private differences about the origin of the eldest brother. After all, the biological mother of the eldest brother is not like his own mother, but the Yu family, who is also known as the second clan in the county along with the Yan family, is of noble birth. is just a lowly servant girl in the famous mansion, the son of a concubine accepted by his father. As a result, there is no eldest brother who has a good birth mother, and his birth is also doomed, branded with the mark of his mother's humble identity.

Although the eldest brother can inherit as the head of the family, he cannot erase the influence of his biological mother. I'm afraid that's because of this, the famous family in the state with the family family as the rule... did not give the clan daughter to the eldest brother as a wife.

However, the eldest brother has been in charge of the family for decades, and he can be regarded as a qualified head of the family. After he succeeded to the position of head of the family, he was one of the six princes in the county who did not lose to his father. Because of his talent, he was recruited as an official by a county guard. It was the cousin of one of the six men in the county who was requisitioned at the same time... When he was in office, he was entangled in grievances.

The current situation of the family, although it is waiting for him to return to succeed the head of the family. But the eldest brother has also been prestigious in the family in the past few decades. Some clansmen supported the eldest brother's son, their own nephew, to succeed the head of the family.

Most of the elders of the family who may have influenced the choice of the head of the family have sided with themselves after the death of their eldest brother. This... But it is also the best opportunity for me to return to my homeland in Zhengzhou.

After all, he was outside, in the northern part of the empire, and lived in seclusion for decades. If you can't return to the roots, it's really a pity in this life. Even if he has long faded, what is the head of the family is not the head of the family. But as long as he returns to his home, he can't escape everything that should belong to him, including responsibility.

Thinking about the past scenes that have happened in the past few decades, Yan Moke's mood has also fluctuated. Looking at the letters on the table, the invitation of the family and the past of the family were written. After sighing, with a little helplessness and a little complicated heart, he muttered to himself: "Alas! Should... Coming home..."

Then Yanmo picked it up again, and the flask on the table poured himself another glass. But he did not drink the wine from the silver cup after he had poured it full. Instead, he fell into the bitter reminiscence of the past and the present, but his brows gradually wrinkled slightly.
