Chapter 51: Pressing Step by Step (I)
in the hall
The second aunt slowly walked in front of the eldest lady.
Today, she is wearing a thin satin gown embroidered with ginger embroidered all over the place, a thin folded moon white long skirt, combed a falling horse bun, obliquely inserted three lapis lazuli ruyi hairpins carved with the double character of Fushou, a long bead chain of pine green agate stone hanging on her chest, and a gold silk inlaid pink hibiscus jade bracelet on her wrist.
"Eldest sister......" The second aunt faced the eldest lady, with a slight smile on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, but her tone was extremely gloomy, "When the old man passed away, the position of the head of the tea shop was temporarily handed over to you, and for so many years, thanks to the eldest sister who kept the tea shop in good order and the business was prosperous, I thank the eldest sister on behalf of the descendants of the Zhuang family." As he spoke, he gave a gentle blessing to the eldest wife, then stood up straight again, and continued: "But now that the children are older, it's time for the eldest sister to enjoy the blessings, after all, the eldest sister can't always dominate the position of the banker's family, right?" This is neither reasonable nor reasonable! ”
Speaking of this, the second aunt smiled, turned to face the relatives, and continued: "Today, the concubine invites the adults, please come over, just to let the adults testify, and also want the lords to say a fair word, now, several sons of the Zhuang family have become adults and have become married, should the position of the Zhuang family be returned to the original owner?" ”
Hearing this, the Zhuang clan relatives nodded their heads very tacitly.
At this time, Master Hu, who was in the right position, laughed and said: "Originally, this kind of housework is not the turn of the official to intervene, but as the official of the parents, since the second aunt and wife pleaded with each other, the official cannot ignore it. This matter still needs to be independent of your Zhuang family, and the official will only watch from the sidelines, and in the end, he will fulfill his official responsibility and uphold justice for you, which is also a witness. Mrs. Zhuang, Mrs. Second Aunt, all the clan relatives, don't worry about the official, although they express their opinions. ”
After speaking, Master Hu picked up the tea bowl on the table next to him, opened the tea cup, and sipped it slowly, looking fair and strict. But everyone knows the relationship between Master Hu and his second aunt's wife, who will take his words seriously?
The people on the second aunt's side were all colorful, and the people on the eldest lady's side dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
At this time, the white fat man named Zhuang Shoujing, who was called "uncle" by the eldest lady, stood up, he shook his sleeves, revealing the emerald green wrench on his thumb, and then looked at the eldest lady and said with a smile: "Brother and sister, although the fourth brother handed over the tea shop to you to manage temporarily, but the younger brother and sister are a woman after all, and it is unreasonable to show up. Before, the children were young, and you couldn't trust us, and we didn't have anything to say, but now the children have grown up......"
Zhuang Shoujing's voice was soft and soft, faintly and a little sharp, and it made people feel as uncomfortable as ants biting in their ears.
Speaking of this, Zhuang Shoujing glanced back at the others, smiled and said: "Nobuhiko won't say it, although this kid is smart and clever, but after all, he is not suitable for running a tea shop, although Xinzhong is an honest child, but in terms of ability and talent, he is not as good as Xinchuan, and now Xinchuan has become a family and has become a responsible man......" He said, turned his head to look at the eldest lady, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister, it's time to hand over the things that belong to the Zhuang family to the hands of the descendants of the Zhuang family!" ”
When Zhuang Shoujing spoke, Zhuang Xinyan took Haifu and them, the third aunt and wife took Zhuang Minglan, and Fang Yanxing's sisters and brothers rushed over when they heard the news. When they saw the situation in the hall, they all looked surprised. Zhuang Xinyan walked to Yueniang's side and found a position where he could see the overall situation. The third aunt's wife was standing at the end of the room, and Fang Yanxing's sister and brother saw Qin Tian in the crowd and nodded lightly, which was regarded as a greeting. The two brothers, Zhuang Xinchuan and Zhuang Xinzhong, were unable to come because they had not recovered from their injuries.
The eldest lady smiled, and when she was about to say something, a serious man named Zhuang Shouwen, who was called "Second Uncle", suddenly interjected, and his tone was much more blunt compared with Zhuang Shoujing, "Brother and sister, outside the male lead, inside the female lead is the same truth, now that the children are older, the younger siblings are so pressed on the children's heads, wouldn't it make the children a laughing stock in the eyes of the world?" ”
As soon as his words fell, the "third uncle" Zhuang Shouke also stood up, with a thick voice, waving his thick arm and saying: "I am a rough person, I don't know what to say, I only know that the tea shop was created by my fourth brother, and it belongs to the banker's industry. ”
"It is only right to let Zhuang Xinchuan inherit the Zhuang family and inherit the tea shop!" "Uncle" Zhuang Shoucheng also followed.
The clan relatives were one by one, pressing step by step, and what they said seemed to be reasonable, the eldest lady didn't even have a chance to speak out, Yueniang Qin Tianyi watched from the side, and they all sweated for the eldest lady, but they were all subordinates, and there was no room for them to speak on this occasion, and it was not their turn to intervene in this kind of family inheritance.
The second aunt's wife looked at the eldest lady triumphantly with a smile in her hand, Zhuang Mingxi kept watching everything calmly, Liu Bijun nervously pulled the silk handkerchief in her hand, the third aunt and wife frowned, her face was a little unnatural, and Fang Yanxing's sisters and brothers showed a concerned look when they saw that the eldest lady was forced.
As soon as Zhuang Shoucheng finished speaking, the second aunt took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, look at it, if I am the only one who has such thoughts, it can be said that it is my selfishness, but even my uncles and relatives think so, it seems that the problem is not on me, should the eldest sister accept everyone's suggestions?" ”
As early as when the eldest lady heard Cuiwei say that the second aunt invited the clan relatives, she knew that she would face such a situation, because although she was jointly persecuted by the clan relatives, she did not lose her square inch.
The eldest lady looked around and said with a smile: "Huaying is very grateful to all the uncles, although the family has been separated for many years, the uncles still care so much about the affairs of the banker!" ”
These words were not light or serious, which made Zhuang Shoujing's four brothers look a little unnatural, and the second uncle, Zhuang Shouwen, said coldly: "Although we have separated the family, we are all of the same clan, since we are the same clan, how can we stand by and watch the affairs of the fourth brother's family?" ”
"That's it," the other three said with a smile.
The eldest lady smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Uncles always say that I am a foreigner, yes, although I Jiang Huaying is a foreigner, I am not an outsider!" The eldest lady stretched out her hand and touched her chest, and walked into the clan sisters step by step, and said in a deep voice as she walked: "I am the wife of the main room carried back by our master eight in a sedan chair, and my Jiang Huaying's name is recorded on the genealogy of the Zhuang family, I was born as a person of the Zhuang family, and I died as a ghost of the Zhuang family, who can deny this?" ”
Speaking of this, she stopped, faced the uncles, restrained her smile, and said word by word: "Yes, the banker's family business was founded by the master, but the master handed over all the decisions of the banker to me before he died, so he can trust me!" Since even the master is willing to trust me, what do others have to do with me? ”
said something that made all the uncles face to face.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the second aunt rushed to the eldest lady and said loudly: "The master only temporarily handed over the tea shop to you to manage, not the tea shop to you, if the lord knows that the person he trusts is greedy for the tea shop and refuses to hand over the tea shop, he will definitely regret his original decision." ”
The eldest lady turned to look at her and said coldly: "Xiumei, from beginning to end, when did I say that I want to dominate the tea shop and don't want to hand over the tea shop?" ”
"That's good!" The second aunt's eyes widened and she stretched out her hand towards her, "You hand it over!" Today, in front of Lord Hu and in front of the clansmen, you will hand over the account books of the tea shop and all the keys of the tea shop to Xinchuan! ”
The eldest lady straightened her back and coldly swept away the hand that was almost stretched out to her chest by the second aunt: "I will hand it over, but not now, let alone Xinchuan!" ”
The second aunt's face sank, and she said sharply: "Who will you hand over to Xinchuan if you don't hand it over?" She turned around and pointed to the third aunt's wife, "Do you want to hand it over to that weak and fearful faithful!" ”
The third aunt trembled, and involuntarily looked at the eldest lady, her eyes suddenly lit up.
