As soon as these words came out, almost all of the Lu family members took a breath of cold air.

Sitting next to the head of the house?

Don't look at this as just a simple sentence, it seems to come out casually, in fact, when it comes to the status of Old Man Lu, in public, every word he says is very profound, even very political.

In front of all the clansmen, let a young man sit beside him, and it was also in this critical period, Old Man Lu's attitude was self-evident, obviously he wanted this Lu Qi to be his right and left hand, or even his successor.

In fact, Lu Qi's ability is still relatively recognized by the clan, after all, he returned from studying abroad, and his doctorate degree in economics is there, and after returning to the family, he has indeed done a few decent things to help the family's industry achieve a higher amount of profit, and has a very high earning capacity.

However, his identity is a problem that makes people criticize.

Of course, he is a member of the Lu family, but he is just a collateral line, not a descendant.

What is the collateral system?

is that the bloodline is more mixed, for example, there is a rich father in the family, and his mother gave birth to him, and he does not follow his father's surname and mother's surname, which is a relatively high-end collateral lineage, so as not to be snubbed by the family.

For another example, this person's ancestor is also surnamed Lu, but he doesn't have much to do with the Lu family in Jiangcheng, just flipping through the family tree, eh, each other was originally a family, well, you enter the Lu family and become a side member of the Lu family, the Lu family guarantees that you will not starve to death, but you also have to do things for the Lu family, as for the treatment...... It's definitely not as good as the lineage, but it's also much better than the ordinary people outside.

Lu Qi's identity is the latter kind of collateral, his parents were originally villagers of Lujia Village on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, and it is said that the Lu family made their fortune in this village, and every family in this village is surnamed Lu, of course, not all of them are related by blood. Old Man Lu's orthodox lineage was developed in the early years, and later he moved away from Lujia Village and cut off contact with that backward village.

However, due to the development of the Lu family, the villagers of Lujia Village are very envious, and many people squeeze their heads, thinking about having something to do with the Lu family in this vein, in fact, a small number of villagers really entered the Lu family in Jiangcheng and became side members, Lu Qi's parents are this little rubbing people.

The biggest problem for the collateral people is the inauthenticity of the bloodline.

Ordinary people may not pay much attention to this kind of thing, thinking that this is pure nonsense, but the bigger the family, the more they value the purity of the bloodline, they generally believe that the bloodline can be inherited, and excellent bloodline can make the offspring have a higher IQ and EQ than ordinary people, and can inherit the advantages of their elders well.

In ancient times, the royal family valued the bloodline the most, and under normal circumstances, the person who inherited the throne must be the eldest son of the lineage, unless there is really no one in this lineage, and he is dead, he will consider selecting the prince who is as close as possible to the royal family to inherit the throne.

Not only in ancient China, but also in England, as well as the Fuso royal family, as well as the royal families of various countries, all practiced this set, which is almost universal, because people have summed up experience and generally believe in this.

Although the Lu family is not as good as the royal family, it is also a big family in Jiangcheng, and in terms of choosing an heir, everyone believes that members of the lineage should be selected first, so that the bloodline will be pure and authentic. Although the performance of several young people led by Lu Wei is disappointing, they are all disappointed in terms of how they behave in the world, as for their ability, they are not picky, and even the middle-aged elders of some families are not as good as Lu Wei, Lu Hao and others.

At this time, it is a bit unreasonable to give up the young clansmen of the lineage, but to choose a candidate who will be the new head of the family from the side lineage, at least in terms of family recognition and bloodline, even if Lu Qi is excellent, he will not be able to pass the test.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and sit down, are you still going to let grandpa get up and invite you?" Lu Qi didn't mean to move, Old Man Lu frowned slightly, and said pretending to be displeased.

"In that case, then I might as well be respectful." Lu Qi smiled, left his seat, and walked in the direction of Old Man Lu, and after a while, he had already walked to Old Man Lu's side, ready to sit down.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Lu family looked at each other and exchanged glances.

"Wait!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man not far away got up, he was the fourth son of Old Man Lu, named Lu Zhensheng, about forty years old, in his uncle's generation, the age is not very big.

"Fourth, do you have any opinions?" Old Man Lu glanced at him and asked lightly.

At this time, Lu Zhensheng's eyes were already full of anger, he pointed at Lu Qi, and immediately said to Old Man Lu: "Father! This junior, named Luqi, is not qualified to sit next to you!! Even if you want to fight Xiao Hao and Xiao Wei, you can't send a side department, even if he has great skills, it's just a side department! Even the bloodline is not pure, whether he is our authentic Lu family is still uncertain, how can you choose him as the successor? Xiaowei has made a mistake, you want to abolish her, and we as children all support your decision, but this kid who ran out of the village must not let him become the new head of the family!! ”

"That's right, he's a member of the side line, why is his status better than our lineage?"

"If he is really made the new head of the family, what will the next generation of the orthodox Lu family do? When the time comes, will this Lu Qi choose a descendant as his heir? After we all get old, the collateral line becomes the descendant, and the real descendant becomes the collateral line! Isn't this all messed up? ”

"No, no, no, we must not let a side clan member take the throne!"

"It's like Wu Zetian usurped Li Tang, killed Li Tang's prince cleanly, and wanted the Wu family to replace Li Tang!"

"History has long told us that we can't repeat that kind of tragedy!"

"This is a matter of principle, even if you are the head of the house, you can't mess around!!"

Under the leadership of Lu Zhensheng, the reaction of the descendants was great, and they all opened their mouths to block Old Man Lu's decision, because it was related to the interests of the entire descendants, and it was absolutely impossible to let a member of the collateral clan take the position.

"What do you mean by that?" Seeing so many clansmen speak against it, Old Man Lu's face sank, in his opinion, it is not a matter of lineage at all, but the authority of his own head of the family has been provoked, and his own decision-making, someone dares to oppose it in public, which makes Old Man Lu feel that his status has been seriously threatened, and he feels very uncomfortable, and the person who provoked this matter is his fourth son, which makes him feel very dissatisfied.

"Fourth, come on, what do you mean by taking this lead and demolishing the old man's platform?" Old Man Lu said coldly.

Lu Zhensheng hurriedly lowered his head and said solemnly: "Father, we don't mean anything else, but for the sake of the long-term of the family, please dispel the idea of establishing a side clan as the heir!" This is not only my wish, but also the wish of all the descendants of the Lu family!! ”
