Chapter 123: The Du Family's Ancestral Home
"Woooooooo The suppressed cry of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info came from the Du family's mansion and quickly dissipated into the night.
The ancestral house of the Du family is the largest residential complex in the brocade city, covering an area of 90,000 square meters, with more than 30 large and small houses, the highest floor is as high as eight floors, and the shortest is a few small courtyards, just a one-story bungalow. In the vast ancestral house, there used to be more than 300 people, except for nearly 70 private soldiers and more than 30 domestic servants, most of them were collateral children of the Du family. These collateral children, who are close to the core of the Du family, live in high-rise residences, and they use the intricate interpersonal relationships to weave a large net and firmly control their own power for the Du family.
As for the descendants of the Du family, the number is actually not large, except for Du Ming and his three sons, Du Feng Du Yan and Du Lei, there are only three sons and one daughter left by Du Ming's deceased brother. As the descendants of the clan, they certainly enjoy certain privileges, for example, they do not have to live in cold high-rise houses with the children of the side lineage, but have a beautiful small courtyard by themselves.
However, Du Ming, as the patriarch of the Du clan, the house he lived in was actually the smallest among the descendants, with a wing room in each of the east and west, plus the living room, study and bedroom of the main house, there was no other room. Of course, some people speculate that this may have something to do with his habit of cleanliness, and if the house is too big, I am afraid that even if all the domestic servants are exhausted, it will not be able to meet his requirements for the environment.
At this time, Du Ming was sitting in the east wing, which was supposed to be a guest room, but now it was temporarily converted into a dining room by him, with simple wine and food on the table, and Du Ming, who was dressed in a white dress, was pouring himself drinks at the table alone. The suppressed cry faintly entered the east wing through the open window, which made Du Ming frown.
Of course, the crying is not unfamiliar, Du Ming can hear it, it is the widow of the eldest son Du Feng crying, crying with her, and his wife who has lost two sons in a row.
"Why cry now?" Du Ming smiled sneeringly, shook his head and said, "I'm going to cry again soon, it's better to cry together, and save some energy, hey, woman......"
No one answered Du Ming's self-talk, only a casual cry, which made people sound extremely irritated.
"fluttering", the sound of wings flapping came from the window, and several crows stopped on the open window, their bodies blending with the night, only the blood-red eyes twinkled and shined.
"The joy of the sparrow calls for joy, the crow reports the funeral, and it seems that another funeral has come to the door. Du Ming took a sip of the wine glass, picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, closed his eyes and savored it for a long time before raising his voice and saying, "Third Young Master, please come in, do you want to sit down and have a few glasses together?"
"It's embarrassing, it's really annoying. The black shadow flashed, and the crow appeared in the east wing room in the moonlight, sitting in front of Du Ming with a consistent smile on his face, and drank the wine glass that had been prepared long ago, "I'm really sorry, Uncle Laud has been waiting for a long time." β
"Hehehe, it's okay, the dish is not cold yet, the third young master is just right. Du Ming picked up the wine jug, refilled the crow's wine glass in the air, and said with a smile, "You and I have never agreed on a time, and it is understandable that it is a little late, at least the third young master, you appeared." β
"Hehe, as long as Uncle Du doesn't blame me for coming uninvited. The crow raised the wine glass with both hands, and said with a straight face, "This cup is for Uncle Du, over the years, Uncle Du, you have worked hard, and in the past five years, the development of Brocade City has been smooth, and Uncle Du has contributed a lot." β
"The third young master has an overreputation, without the cooperation of the third young master, Du will only achieve nothing. Du Ming shook his head, "To tell the truth, working with you, Third Young Master, is much more comfortable than working with Zhang Tong, although Zhang Tong and I have been friends for many years, but I have to admit that that jealous and arrogant guy is not a good leader, and many times he acts like a fool." If Zhang Tong hadn't killed Zhang Yan with that idiot, the second young lady and the third young master had joined forces all these years, and the brocade city would have been completely new by now, hehe, I don't dare to imagine that prospect, as long as I think that it is impossible to appear again, it makes people's hearts twist. β
"There's no point in thinking about it anymore. The crow drank the second glass of wine and whispered, "My sister is dead." β
"I'm sorry, Third Young Master. Du Ming sighed deeply, "For five years, I have been apologizing to you, it was my godson who had no way to let the two children be easily lured by others and participate in the most undesirable conspiracy." β
"Hehe, I should apologize too. The crow said with a smile on his face, "Although it is for revenge, the matter of Brother Feng and Brother Yan is really offended." β
"I knew what they did five years ago, I had predicted their fate, and I must not have been surprised by their deaths. Du Ming took the initiative to raise his glass and said, "I can even say that I am very surprised that the third young master can actually endure until today." β
"I'm not in a hurry at all, I have to find the most suitable opportunity, otherwise it will disrupt my plans. The crow drank the third glass of wine and asked, "Speaking of which, doesn't Uncle Du hate me? After all, they are your closest relatives, Uncle Du." β
"Third Young Master. Du Ming looked at the crow with reproachful eyes, "There is no need to ask this kind of question." β
"Hehehe, it's me who is wrong, it's me who is wrong. The crow patted his forehead, shook his head and smiled, "This kind of question is too naΓ―ve. β
"After all, I'm also a layman, and I can't do revenge as desperately as the third young master. Du Ming still answered the crow's question in the end, "Personally, it is impossible not to hate, but private affairs are private affairs, and business affairs are public affairs, and it is immature to mix them up." Of course, if there is a chance to avenge Xiaofeng Xiaoyan like the Third Young Master did, I will definitely not hesitate. β
"Hahahaha, Uncle Du is worthy of being at the helm of the Du family, admire and admire, and work with Uncle Du, how can you never get bored. The crow drank the fourth glass of wine and suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that tomorrow is the heir assembly." β
"yes, tomorrow is the conference, time flies. Du Ming also sighed and said with a wry smile, "Tomorrow is the most critical day, so I'm waiting." β
"Wait for me to accompany Uncle Du for a drink and chat?" Raven raised the fifth glass of wine and said with a smile, "So I'm here, hehe, Uncle Du, please." β
"That's right, I'm just waiting for you to arrive, Third Young Master. Du Ming stared at the fifth glass of wine in the crow's hand, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Or rather, waiting for death." β
