Chapter 121: The Struggle for the Masters (I)
Qin Tian trotted all the way to the hall, the big 'door' of the hall was closed, and there were a few housekeepers with wooden sticks in their hands, and the maids and women in each room and courtyard were standing in the courtyard outside the hall, all of them held their breath, pricked up their ears, and paid attention to the movement in the hall, looking at their eager 'desire' to try, if it weren't for the family members guarding the 'door', they were afraid that they would lie on the window and peek.
Qin Tian saw that the main 'door' could not enter, so he bypassed from the side, there was a long corridor behind the hall, Qin Tian entered from the corridor, there were several mothers-in-law guarding in the back room, all of them were people in the courtyard of the big lady, seeing that someone broke in, they came over to block the comers, and saw that it was Qin Tianhou, and then dispersed, one of the mothers-in-law pointed to the side 'door' and said, "Girl, go over quickly." ”
Qin Tian walked through the back room and came to the side 'door', the side 'door' hung a curtain of Xiangfei bamboo, Qin Tian hid behind the curtain, opened a slit in the curtain and looked inside.
Before she could see the environment clearly, she heard a series of sharp laughter, and Qin Tian could hear that this was the voice of the second aunt's wife she heard outside just now.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the second aunt's wife's proud voice: "Eldest sister, why don't you want the doctor I brought to take your pulse?" You obviously have a ghost in your heart! Let me tell you, in front of so many sect masters today, you don't want to 'be confused' and 'mixed' to pass the test! ”
The second aunt's voice was sharp and sharp, like the kind of unruly sharp sound played by a beginner on the violin, and there was a feeling of impetuousness in human ears.
Qin Tian frowned and looked inside.
From her point of view, she could see most of the scene, she saw the eldest lady sitting in the right position, with Cuiwei and Yueniang standing beside her, the second aunt and wife standing not far in front of the eldest lady, brightly dressed, with her head held high, and a man in his fifties wearing a gray 'colored' robe, wearing a square scarf, and carrying a wooden box on his shoulder, should be the doctor that the second aunt said. The clan relatives and the third aunt and wife were in the same room, as well as Zhuang Xinchuan and Zhuang Mingxi, and they sat in various places.
But she couldn't see Zhuang Xinyan, it stands to reason that he couldn't not appear on this occasion, Qin Tian estimated that he should be standing in a dead corner that she couldn't see.
"Hua Ying, this matter is very important, if there is something wrong with your body, you must not hide it!"
The voice was hoarse with a slight phlegm, but it belonged to Zhuang Zhicheng, the patriarch of the Zhuang clan.
Qin Tian couldn't help but tighten the curtain.
She saw the eldest lady standing up with Yueniang's support, her face was calm, and she didn't see the slightest panic.
"Don't bother this doctor, Xiumei, what you said is right, I have some 'fault' in my body......" Speaking of this, the eldest lady's face darkened, and her voice sank: "I can't see with my eyes!" ”
Qin Tian's heart was sour when he heard this, the eldest lady had concealed it for so long, but she was 'forced' to say it in public, and she must have felt uncomfortable in her heart.
The second aunt laughed again, with an extremely rampant appearance, Qin Tian saw that Yueniang and Cuiwei's faces were 'revealed' with a kind of anger. The second aunt didn't care at all, turned around and walked to the patriarch Zhuang Zhicheng and said, "Third uncle, you heard, now that the eldest sister is blind, where is she still capable of managing the tea shop?" It is impossible for a blind man to control the position of the head of this tea shop, isn't it a big joke to spread it, so that people listen to it, and think that there is no one in our dealer! The second aunt said as she waved her hands, because she was too proud, and a little unscrupulous, that kind of appearance made people want to step forward and slap her twice!
Suddenly, there was a loud "bump", but it was the eldest lady who slapped it heavily on the table next to her, and she shouted angrily: "Li Xiumei, I'm not dead yet, you give me some restraint!" Only if I am still the head of the dealer for one day, I have the right to dispose of you! ”
The second aunt and wife glared at the eldest lady, her face flushed, but she didn't dare to say anything like "blind". Just to Zhuang Zhicheng, "Third uncle, please also ask you to make decisions for us, now the eldest sister is blind, as the eldest son and grandson, the eldest young master Zhuang Xinyan ......" Speaking of this, the second aunt glanced to the side, Qin Tian estimated that it was where Zhuang Xinyan was standing.
The second aunt continued: "I don't need to say what the situation of the eldest young master is, I think everyone knows it, everyone should know whether he is suitable for this position in charge, all in all, now only the second young master of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Xinchuan, is the only candidate for the position of the family!" ”
Zhuang Xinchuan couldn't help but stand up when he heard this, and saluted to the masters of the sect, looking complacent. Liu Bijun and Zhuang Mingxi beside him were all happy.
Seeing the hesitant look of the old men of the Zong family, the second aunt sneered again and continued: "I know what the old men are hesitating, it is nothing more than doubting Xinchuan's ability, yes, Xinchuan made mistakes before, but people can grow, should he be beaten to death with a 'stick' just because he made a mistake once?" This is unconscionable! And ......" The second aunt walked slowly in the hall, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her voice dragged slowly and long, "Moreover, now that Lord Hu is the prefect, who else can he rely on if he wants to have tea and continue to operate?" Only rely on Xinchuan, so I said that the second young master deserves to become the master of the tea shop! ”
The old men of the Zong family looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the patriarch, and one of them said: "Xiumei's words are not unreasonable, except for Zhuang Xinchuan, there is indeed no more suitable candidate!" ”
Qin Tian snorted coldly, thinking to himself, it's not that he is afraid that the tea shop will really not be able to operate and affect their interests, these people, giving them some dry shares, really regard the tea shop as their own! Delusional 'meddling' in everything! Have they forgotten that Master Zhuang's last words are very clear, and the heir to the tea shop is decided by the eldest wife!
Zhuang Zhicheng and those people 'crossed' eyes and changed their eyes, 'touched' and 'touched' the sparse goatee, and when they were about to speak, the eldest lady walked out with the support of Yueniang, and she said loudly: "Who said that there is no suitable candidate except Xinchuan, the master is not only the two sons of Xinyan and Xinchuan!" ”
As she spoke, she walked to the middle of the hall with Yueniang, stood still not far from the second aunt's wife, and stretched out her left hand in the direction of the third aunt's wife: "Xinzhong, you come here." ”
When the third aunt heard the eldest lady call Xinzhong's name, she immediately looked restless. Especially when the second aunt heard the eldest lady call Xinzhong's name, she 'shot' at her sharply, which made her face even whiter. Zhuang Minglan behind her was also panicked, while Fang Yanxing patted Zhuang Xinzhong's shoulder, her face full of encouragement.
Zhuang Xinzhong stood behind the third aunt's wife, heard the eldest lady call him, took a deep breath, and walked in the direction of the eldest lady, there was no surprise on his face, Qin Tian guessed that the eldest lady must have discussed it with him.
That's right, it's not bad to let Xinzhong be the master, with the help of Zhuang Xinyan and the eldest lady behind him. They are all the descendants of the banker, and he has this responsibility!
But just as Zhuang Xinzhong passed by the third aunt's side, the third aunt suddenly grabbed his hand, raised her head to look at him, pursed her lips, and shook her head gently. seems to disapprove of Zhuang Xinzhong's succession as the head of the family.
Qin Tian was a little puzzled at first, she felt that the third aunt was not completely unambitious for the position of head of the family, but she only gave up knowing that she was not qualified enough, but when such a good thing came to the head, why did she hesitate? But after thinking about it a little deeper, I understood
Yes, it must be that the third aunt's wife is blind when she sees the eldest lady, and she will not be the opponent of the second aunt's wife in the future, and she will not be their backer, even if she gets the position of the housekeeper, she will not be able to sit for long, but will become a thorn in the eye of the second aunt's wife, a thorn in the 'meat'! The second aunt and the empress dowager are strong, they are afraid in their hearts, they feel that they can't fight them, and they are afraid that the ending will be even more miserable!
These three aunts' wives are too timid and cowardly, they just want to keep their own one-acre and three-point land, no one wants to offend, everyone wants to please, this is not wrong. However, she didn't understand that she was a dealer after all, so where could she completely stay out of the matter? Unless she can not rely on the dealer, she eats the dealer's food one day, and doesn't want to clean herself up one day!
Zhuang Xinzhong glanced back at his mother, pulled his hand out, and turned to go to the eldest lady. The third aunt covered her heart, with a worried look, and then lowered her head timidly under the sharp gaze of the second aunt.
Zhuang Xinzhong held the eldest lady's hand. The eldest lady looked in his direction and nodded, a smile on her lips.
Then, she raised Zhuang Xinzhong's hand and said with a serious face: "The old man left his last words before he died, and I will choose the future heir of the Zhuang family." I'll tell you plainly now, I don't think Xinchuan is suitable to be a family member, and my candidate is, Xinzhong! The eldest lady raised her head and said loudly: "I will announce now that Zhuang Xinzhong, the third young master of the Zhuang family, will succeed me Jiang Huaying as the next head of the family!" ”
The second aunt sneered a few times, and the 'yin' poisonous gaze shifted from the eldest lady's face to Zhuang Xinzhong's face beside her, Zhuang Xinzhong subconsciously avoided her gaze, and the second aunt turned her head to look at the third aunt's wife, that gaze was like a knife, trying to 'shoot' her through! The third aunt held on to the armrest of the chair and trembled uncontrollably!
"I'm against it! is also a concubine, and he has also sold fake tea, why do you choose Xinzhong instead of Xinchuan! The third aunt suddenly shouted, her eyes were fierce, and her face was hideous, as if she wanted to rush over and fight with the eldest wife!
The eldest lady was not afraid and sneered: "You are against it? Li Xiumei, what are you? What right do you have to object! When it's up to me to decide the family, I say who I choose! ”
The second aunt's face turned white and clenched her fists. The clansmen next to them were a little panicked when they saw that things had come to this point, you look at me, I look at you, I can't make up my mind for a while!
The second aunt suddenly turned around, rushed to the front of the third aunt, grabbed the third aunt's wrist, and lifted her from the chair brutally, she glared at the third aunt viciously, gritting her teeth: "Chen Qiaoyun, do you want to fight with me?" Are you sure you want to fight me? Do you know the outcome of going against me? ”
She grabbed the wrist of the third aunt's wife, and the bright red nails almost pinched into her skin 'flesh', the third aunt didn't know if it was because of the pain of the skin 'flesh' or because she was too scared, tears welled up, "I didn't, I didn't!" Be faithful, be faithful, listen to my mother's words, we won't fight, we won't fight...... Shall we do nothing, not to be in charge of this? ”
In front of so many people, the third aunt and wife cried loudly.
