Chapter Ninety-Six: The Family
It's just that with Kang Yongbo's condition now, even if he wants to manage the affairs of the clan, he is powerless, and gradually, the affairs of the clan are just like the affairs of the uncle's mansion, which are handed over from the hands of the old uncle to the second master of Song, Song Shaohuan.
Of course, in this kind of informal election of the patriarch and the transfer process of the real name, there have also been opposing voices in the clan, after all, as Song Shaohuan, managing the affairs of the clan is not justified.
Even if the old uncle is in poor health and needs someone to help, the most natural candidate is Song Shaoyan, the eldest son.
But these opposing voices were all due to Song Shaoyan's non-fighting and non-grabbing, or not so active in grabbing, and Song Shaohuan had various means, the most important thing is that he had the official rank of Qipinsan, and the old uncle's obvious support gradually disappeared.
Therefore, Song Shaohuan's decision, even if there is
How outrageous, as long as he really wants to do it, and is willing to take out the things that some people in the Song family need, such as money, things, and even a promise that he doesn't know if he can fulfill, he can still succeed.
This time is no exception.
When the elders of the Song clan were invited over, they originally just thought that Song Xiaochi was lost, and Song Shaohuan had no way to explain to the Tan family, so he discussed a feasible solution with them, but he didn't expect that Song Shaohuan invited them over for this reason at all, but directly proposed to expel Song Shaoyan and his brother's family from the Song family.
As soon as this remark came out, it can be described as shocking.
And because of Song Shaohuan's words, a group of people went directly from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, and arrived at the bedside of Uncle Song in Rongsong Courtyard.
Old Uncle Song was sleeping deeply, breathing heavily, and was also awakened by this movement.
However, he did not seem surprised by the arrival of the crowd, and only glanced up, and the wrinkled eyelids drooped again.
"Shaohuan, where is my old sister-in-law?" At this time, a fat old man with a goatee stroked his sparse beard, first arched his hand towards the old man Song on the bed, and first looked around the house, and then asked Song Shaohuan.
Song Shaohuan's already heavy face was even more depressed and sad because of the fat old man's question, and he sighed heavily, "Back to the fifth uncle, because Sister Chi suddenly disappeared, my mother and her...... She fainted with anger, and the doctor said that it was a cerebral paralysis and that she was still recuperating in my room because she was not suitable to move. ”
As soon as Song Shaohuan's voice fell, everyone in the room looked gloomy, but only he knew what he thought in his heart.
And no one noticed that Old Uncle Song, who was already gray, because of Song Shaohuan's words, his face was a little gray, and even with a trace of dead air.
"Old uncle, the second master said that he would expel the eldest master from the Song family, I don't know if you know about it?"
At this time, a middle-aged man with a medium stature and an ordinary face, but a rather warm temperament walked up to Uncle Song's bed and asked.
Old Uncle Song opened his cloudy eyes, rolled his eyes with difficulty, and looked at the person beside the bed, "Yes...... Lao Jiu! ”
"It's me." The middle-aged man with a gentle temperament is Song Hui, the ninth old lady in the Song clan, he looks about the same age as Song Shaoyan, in fact, he is indeed the case with the Song family, he is a little talented now, he is also a gentle and humble man of letters, and his popularity in the Song family has always been good.
Song Hui nodded back, but a pair of gentle eyes looked at Old Uncle Song fixedly.
"Second brother, Shao Yan is your eldest son, you ...... Do you really want to expel him from the family? Song Hui asked Uncle Song again.
Old Uncle Song withdrew his gaze, looked at the top of the tent fixedly, and didn't answer for a long time, just when everyone thought that he wouldn't answer, even Song Shaohuan thought that his old father regretted it at the end of the day, and he couldn't bear it, and Song Shaoyan's heart, which was already gradually cold, slowly warmed up because of Old Uncle Song's silence, Old Uncle Song spoke.
His voice was hoarse and low, and it was difficult to hear what he was saying unless he listened carefully, but his tone was extremely determined, without the slightest hesitation.
He said: "If you are not filial and virtuous, you are the eldest son, how can you not give it up!"
Everyone sighed and regretted, and gloated!
Song Shaohuan's hanging heart suddenly relaxed, so that the gloomy color that had been on his face eased a lot, and even showed a slight smile, but he reacted very quickly, and the smile only appeared on his face for a moment, and then disappeared immediately.
As for Song Shaoyan, his heart, which had already warmed up, became cold again at a speed several times faster than that of Old Uncle Song, and even froze and cracked, and his face at this time was much more ugly than Song Shaohuan, who pretended to be depressed.
There was a burst of laughter behind him, and Song Shaoyan heard that it was the voice of the eldest son, and he didn't stop it.
So be it! He thought.
"Song Anming, what are you laughing at?" Song Lin, the fat old man with a goatee who was the fifth in the generation of Uncle Song, looked at Song Anming, who was full of sarcasm, and reprimanded.
"I'm so happy!" Song Anming clasped his hands around his chest, looking relaxed, "I can finally leave such a shameless and shameless place, and finally be able to get rid of such a famous, hypocritical family, how can I not be happy, I can't wait to look up to the sky and laugh." ”
Saying that, he really raised his head and laughed "hahaha" a few times, and his laughter made some people laugh stunned, and some of them laughed angrily.
"Song Anming, you are bold!" Song Lin pointed at Song Anming and scolded: "You are simply disrespectful, you are too reckless, you are not filial piety and immorality!"
"So what?" Song Anming asked rhetorically: "Anyway, I'm going to be expelled from the family, right?"
"You...... You ......" Song Lin was speechless angrily.
"Okay, Fifth Uncle, don't talk to him more, let's go to the ancestral hall."
Song Shaohuan glanced at Song Shaoyan, who was silent, and took the lead and walked out.
"Well, it smells good! Brother Xie, do you smell the fragrance? ”
Guang Haiming sniffed and asked Xie Yan next to him, he couldn't believe his nose.
"Uncle, uncle, I smell it, it's so fragrant!"
Before Xie Yan could answer, he was preempted by a thin girl of three or four years old who was holding him in his arms.
At this time, Xie Yan was holding a three or four-year-old girl in his arms, and Guang Haiming was also holding a little girl in his arms, seven or eight years old.
"Our second girl has such a strong nose?" Guang Haiming listened and smiled at the little girl in Xie Yan's arms.
