I only heard Zhang An's mother ask: "Then you say, who should this ring belong to?" ”

Xiao Man looked at Zhang Yue in the crowd, Zhang Yue was completely out of thought at this time, as if the farce in front of him was not the same as him at all.

"I think the patriarch's ring should be handed over to Zhang Yue, he has a pure temperament and is more suitable to be the patriarch of the Zhang family."

The current situation can be described as chaotic, Zhang An's mother hissed and went crazy, and the wrinkles and brown spots left by the years on her face suddenly appeared extremely obvious on her face.

Zhang An sighed and said to the maid next to him, "Send Madame down first." ”

Seeing that Zhang An was going to drive her away, Zhang An's mother was naturally unhappy, to say that her husband died a few years ago, and she could only rely on Zhang An's son to stand firm in the Zhang family, otherwise she would be humiliated by those in the second and third rooms.

But today, Su Xiaoman actually wants to take away the patriarch position that belongs to his son, how can he bear it.

So Zhang An's mother's eyes flashed with tsunami-like anger, but Su Xiaoman was the prefect, if this would conflict with her again, Su Xiaoman would definitely not forgive himself for the second time.

So Zhang An's mother could only vent all the fire in her stomach on Zhang Yue's body, Zhang Yue faced her mother's distorted face at this time, and felt as if she had seen a lion with teeth and claws.

Zhang Yue's motong shrank suddenly, his head was lowered, his legs were stiff, and his body trembled slightly, seeing Zhang Yue's cowardly appearance, Zhang An's mother was even more angry.

If he really let his second son inherit the position of the patriarch, with his cowardly character, how should he sit in the Zhang family in the future, it is not that he will be exploited by people in other houses.

I don't know why, it's really heart-wrenching that the two brothers are the same parents and the same way of training, how they can raise such a cowardly child.

"Now that the patriarch's ring is in my hand, I decided to give this ring to Zhang Yue, and he will be the patriarch of the Zhang family in the future."

Xiao Man's words were categorical, and no one was allowed to refute them, only seeing Zhang Yue's face red and white for a while, he didn't dare to say anything, his hand tightly grasped the stool next to him, showing his white finger bones.

Zhang An's mother wanted to say something, but Zhang An was no longer patient, so she gave her subordinates a look, and the subordinates immediately understood and dragged Zhang An's mother down.

Zhang An's mother was half-invited and half-dragged away by the subordinates, Zhang An looked at Xiao Man at this time, his eyes were complicated and indescribable, Xiao Man actually read a kind of clear desolation from it.

I didn't expect that I was standing on the opposite side of him, would it make him so sad.

Zhang An quickly restrained his eyes, unwilling to let people see his vulnerability, and after a while, his eyes began to become sharp, so that everyone present couldn't help but contract.

I only saw that Zhang An snatched the patriarch's ring directly from Xiaoman's hand, and seeing Zhang An's rude attitude, Li Ran almost moved forward and started with him.

Xiao Man rubbed his red and swollen hand that was pinched by Zhang An, and gave Li Ran a look to calm him down.

Even if Zhang An wants to forcibly become the patriarch now, it is not justified, and according to his character, he will definitely not do it.

Sure enough, Zhang An looked at the ring on his hand, he had been looking for this ring for a long time, and he had asked his grandmother Qu Ying, who was fasting and chanting, but Qu Ying's attitude was cold.

Zhang An saw her frost-like face, and thought about it, he had never been under Chenghuan's knees, let alone ever been close to this grandmother.

It is estimated that in Qu Ying's heart, her cold-blooded appearance is indeed inferior to Zhang Yue, who has been stupidly begging for sesame cakes with her since childhood.

Zhang An clearly remembers Qu Ying's loving appearance, even though she has accompanied Zhang Yu in the court for many years, she still retains a warmth for her family.

But when she faced Qu Ying, her pale face, indifferent eyes, and light lip color were deeply engraved in Zhang An's mind.

I don't know why, Qu Ying's attitude of being downright about life and death and detachment made Zhang An a little scared.

I only remember that Qu Ying glanced at him contemptuously and said to him: Is a person like you also worthy of being the head of the Zhang family, look at what kind of person your grandfather is, and what kind of person you are.

Zhang Anche, you died for a while, thinking of his grandfather, his eyes were wide-eyed, implying provocation and contempt, he revitalized the Zhang family to this extent, but why can't he surpass him.

"Why, is it because I'm not as ruthless as him?"

Qu Ying shook his head, the beads in his hand sowed faster and faster, and suddenly, the thin thread in the middle of the beads actually broke without warning.

The wooden beads fell to the ground, making a crisp and pleasant sound, varying in weight and noisy.

After a while, when the room returned to a quiet state, Qu Ying said slowly: "You are indeed very talented, but An'er, there is no country, where do you come from." ”

Qu Ying's eyes were closed, her thin lips were pursed very tightly, and she seemed to be struggling in her heart, after all, Zhang An was also his grandson, and it was often a difficult decision to go to the opposite side with his relatives.

"If there is no country, how can there be a home."

Zhang An took a good look back at Qu Ying's words, indeed, where did the Zhang family come from without Donglan Country, if everyone struggled for selfish interests, then the turmoil of Donglan Country would never be peaceful, and it would definitely usher in the end of destruction.

It turned out that grandpa and grandma had been in Beijing for so many years, and they had been calculating in the court for so long, but what they had seen through was just such a small truth.

"You're telling me not to fight?"

After Zhang An asked this sentence, Qu Ying did not have any answer, according to Zhang An's temperament, even if he asked him not to fight, he would definitely not do what he said.

If a person only has narrow-minded scheming and selfish calculations, then how can he comprehend the vastness of the sea and the end of the world, a person like Zhang An is destined to be just a loser.

Zhang An closed his eyes, opened them again, and finally pulled himself back from his memories, he walked towards Zhang Yue step by step, his steps were steady and even with some killing intent, he absolutely did not allow anyone to stand in front of him.

Zhang Yue saw that his brother was getting closer and closer to him, and naturally felt very nervous, his body trembled and took a few steps back, and his face turned pale.

Zhang An put the patriarch's ring in front of Zhang Yue, and said coldly: "Brother, since the Su prefect has said so, then the position of the patriarch of the Zhang family is yours, and the whole Zhang family will rely on you in the future." ”

Hearing his brother suddenly say this, Zhang Yue was naturally extremely afraid, of course he knew what his brother was, although now in front of Su Xiaoman, he was willing to hand over the ring.

After the succession ceremony, his brother will definitely be ruthless.

So Zhang Yue said with uneasiness in his heart: "Okay, Su Zhifu, I can't accept this ring, my talent and ability are not as good as my brother, how can I be the patriarch of the Zhang family." ”

Su Xiaoman saw that this Yue was so unsuccessful, and the ring was handed to him, but he didn't dare to take it.

At this time, he was a little angry, and said to Zhang Yue: "Zhang Yue, I have said, you are the best patriarch of the Zhang family, you have a pure temperament and an upright nature, if you come to be the patriarch of the Zhang family, you will definitely be able to lead the Zhang family on the right path." ”

When Su Xiaoman said this, Zhang An's eyes became even colder, as if a knife was going to pass through Zhang Yue's body.

Zhang Yue could only lower his head in shame, not daring to look at anyone again, but just pushed Zhang An's hand back and asked him to take back the ring.

said to Su Xiaoman: "I'm sorry, Governor Su, I really don't have the ability to be the patriarch, all the things of the Zhang family, it's better for you not to meddle in the affairs of our Zhang family." ”

Su Xiaoman didn't expect that he would help Zhang Yue so much, but Zhang Yue beat him up, saying that he was nosy, it seemed that he couldn't support the wall, and if he wanted to grow up, I am afraid it would take some time.

Seeing that his younger brother was unwilling to accept this ring, Zhang An's expression naturally eased a lot, although Zhang Yue was his own brother, but today he really took this ring, and he will receive more in the future.

Of course, since Zhang Yue was unwilling to accept this ring, he would not forcibly accept such a ring and fall into the tongue of others.

So Zhang An walked in front of Su Xiaoman, smiled gently at Su Xiaoman, picked up her hand, put the ring on her palm, and said to Su Xiaoman: "Su Governor, since you found this ring, then you can keep it, as for the position of the patriarch, it will be vacant first, and when you think clearly who to give this ring to, you can return it to the Zhang family." ”

Su Xiaoman didn't expect that Zhang An would return the ring to her so easily, as if he was deliberately watching her jokes, and the expression on his face seemed to be mocking and said: "Look at Su Xiaoman, even if you take out the ring, it is useless, no one in the Zhang family dares to take your ring except me, I am the only patriarch of the Zhang family." ”

Xiao Man looked around at the surrounding guests, and at this time, the surrounding guests were staring at Su Xiaoman with a joke look, after all, Su Xiaoman was just such a young prefect, and he was still a woman, thinking about using a ring to deal with Zhang An, I am afraid that he was a little too thick.

Now Zhang An returned the ring to Su Xiaoman, but Su Xiaoman didn't take care of it, as if she was a dumb official, and she bullied the Zhang family's objects and did not exchange them for the Zhang family.

Su Xiaoman thought about it, even if he didn't take care of it, he still had to keep this ring in his hand, so that he could balance Zhang An in the future, and he couldn't let him control the entire Zhang family.

In the future, I must settle this account with Zhang Yue.
