As soon as Chen Er looked up, he saw a somewhat familiar face.

After thinking about it for a moment, this face overlapped with the other face in Chen Er's mind.

This face is very similar to Shui Jikun.

Then this person should be Shui Jikun's son Shui Chenze.

He is also the person who asked Chen Er to be careful.

"Hello, I have admired the name for a long time, and we finally met today."

Shui Chenze and Shui Jikun look very similar, but they are a little more feminine than Shui Jikun.

His eyes were dark and tinged with a hint of coldness, and when he looked at people, his gaze was deep, but he always had a smile on his face.

It feels strange and uncomfortable.

He stretched out his hand to look at Chen'er.

Chen Er shook his hand.

His gaze gently swept over Chen Er's face and then landed on the patriarch.

The patriarch coughed lightly.

Shui Chenze smiled.

"The patriarch is not in good health, let's go back and rest first, and I'll send my cousin to the ancestral hall."

Shui Jikun is Chen Er's cousin, and Shui Chenze, as a son, should indeed be Chen Er's cousin.

Chen Er looked at Shui Chenze and felt that he should be about the same age as himself.

The patriarch coughed a few more times, and then a young man came from behind Shui Chenze, helping the patriarch to leave slowly.

Shui Chenze smiled and said, "It's not the right time for you to come. ”

His voice was smiling, but also indifferent and detached.

There was an inexplicable coldness.

"At this time, the patriarch and my father are not in good health, and the elders in the clan are arguing endlessly."

Speaking of this, Shui Chenze suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Er, "You don't know yet, it's because you want to come back that the elders in the clan are arguing endlessly." ”

"They think that your grandmother has already married, and you are a great-grandson, so you are not qualified to come back to inherit the property."

There was a smile on the corner of Shui Chenze's mouth, but his eyes were very cold, as if he was wearing two different masks up and down, making people unable to understand what his expression meant.

Chen Er glanced at him, and suddenly a smile appeared.

It's just that Chen Er's smile went straight to his eyes, and he looked much kinder than Shui Chenze.

"It's okay, my purpose isn't for property anyway."

After saying that, he turned around and continued to walk forward.

Shui Chenze's face gradually became cold behind him, and his palms clenched unconsciously.

The lobby outside the ancestral hall was indeed noisy.

People seem to be divided into two factions, arguing that Chen Er's grandmother is a foreign daughter, and after many generations, it is impossible to say that the property can be taken away directly.

On the other hand, it is said that according to the clan rules, whether it is a foreign marriage or not, as long as it is a descendant, she has the right to inherit.

In the midst of the commotion, Chen Er suddenly appeared.

He stood at the entrance of the lobby, a ray of sunlight came in from him, and the noisy crowd in the lobby suddenly quieted down, and they all looked towards him, but they could only see a figure standing in the backlight.

Chen Er slowly walked into the lobby.

First greet everyone according to their seniority, and then stand in the center with a smile.

The people on both sides suddenly didn't seem to know what to say.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Chen Er took the initiative to speak, "First of all, I'm here today just for one thing." ”

The people on both sides suddenly stretched their necks and pricked up their ears.

Chen Er said with a smile, "I'm not here to inherit the Shui family's property today, I'm just here to get back my grandmother's dowry." ”

As soon as they heard that it was not property, some people on one side breathed a sigh of relief.

But the people on the other side find it strange.

"Didn't you come to the property today?"

Such a large sum of money, say don't want it?

Chen Er nodded and confirmed again, "Well, I'm not here to get the money today." ”

Chen Er said it seriously, but everyone thought it was even more strange.

Even the group of people who didn't want Chen Er to take back the inheritance were questioning.

Chen Er spread out his hands, "I'm not short of money. ”

He smiled, and with a strange glint in his eyes, he looked both believable and suspicious.

At this time, a delicate voice came from the crowd.

"Uncle Cousin's surname is Lu, the Lu family is so rich, how can Uncle Cousin be short of money."

It sounded like a little girl's voice.

The voice is delicate and delicate, and it has the unique coquettishness and innocence of a girl, and when it falls into people's ears, it seems to fall into a string of jade beads.

Chen Er looked up and saw a girl with a double ponytail walking out of the crowd.

She was wearing a white skirt, and the skirt was full of small flowers embroidered with thin golden silk threads, and from a distance, it looked like white pearls piled up in a pile of gold dust, smooth and delicate.

He is still young, at most seventeen or eighteen years old.

When the people around saw the girl come out, they all got out of the way, and seemed to respect her very much.

Judging from what she had just called herself, Chen Er speculated that she should be the same generation as Shui Chenze.

When she saw Chen Er looking at herself, she tilted her head slightly, revealing a smiling face, her eyes slightly curved, like a crescent moon in the night sky.

There was an elder next to her who wanted to introduce her to Chen Er, "This is ......"

She smiled sweetly, "Uncle Cousin hasn't said what dowry you're looking for." ”

This sentence reminded everyone present of what Chen Erlai's purpose was.

So everyone's eyes fell on Chen Er.

It seems that the dowry that Chen Er wants to take can instantly hollow out more than half of the Shui family.

Chen Er shook his head slightly, "How do I know what it is?" ”

"Huh?"

There was a lot of talk in the lobby.

"You're kidding us?"

Chen Er waved his hand and motioned for everyone to calm down.

By the way, let's talk about it again.

According to Lu Xuan, when the grandmother was still there, because of the turbulent situation, and she was in a hurry to do other things, she didn't have time to contact the people of the Lu family, so she hurriedly handed over the most important box in the dowry to her cousin for safekeeping.

Later, they died in the war. The situation also took a long time to stabilize, and the Lu clan and the Shui clan had little contact. Later, when the situation stabilized, Lu Xuan tried to get things back, but the family members of the Shui family at that time thought that Lu Xuan did not have this qualification, and demanded that he must be a descendant of his grandmother to get it.

The box has been left in the water family.

Chen Er originally thought that someone in the Shui clan must know about such a big matter, but after he said it, almost everyone present looked confused.

Only the older ones have a little impression, but they have only heard of it, but they don't know where it is.

"I'm afraid only the patriarch knows......"

The older ones turned their attention to the delicate girl just now.

Chen Er also took the opportunity to look over, she didn't seem to care about the content of everyone's conversation, she just sat on the side, quietly playing with a nine-link in her hand, it seemed difficult to solve, she played for a long time and still didn't make any progress.

The girl seemed to be a little deflated in a piece of sunshine, and her long eyelashes were gently lifted, as if brushed with a piece of gold dust in the sun, and the tips of her eyelashes were stained with dots of golden light.

Then I turned my head and realized that everyone was looking at me.

He stood up and looked at Chen Er, "Then I'll take you to ask grandpa." ”

Chen Er really didn't guess wrong, this girl was really the granddaughter of the patriarch.
