It was Zhou Wenbo who spoke.

The second master of the Zhou family had a very clear idea, so he just listened to him continue:

"I'm afraid the prince is not a particularly assertive person, since the Duke of Liang has agreed to talk about it for us, the confluence should have passed. I'm afraid ......"

What are you afraid of? Of course, I am afraid that the Xia family will have a backhand, even if I didn't expect the Zhou family to quickly correct Liang Dagong's perception this time, I would definitely keep looking for trouble in the future - after all, no matter whether the East and West Zhou converge this time or not, the Zhou family will know who is behind the ghost sooner or later.

The Liang Zi of the Zhou family and the Xia family is considered to be concluded.

"My Zhou family has been in the world for 500 years, and even the saints can't easily handle it. His Xia family has no upright reason, and he can't interfere in the affairs of our Zhou family! Besides, his Xia family is in a small place in Lichuan, and most of them depend on me to give Zhangda County. It's a big deal to put pressure on him through Lord County Shou, and let the Xia family weigh the consequences of being an enemy of my Zhou family......"

Zhou Wenyuan was a little angry, in the final analysis, he, the head of the family, was more of a little angry.

Before the words fell, suddenly there was a knock on the door of the study, and Zhou Fang, the chief housekeeper of the Zhou family, said that an urgent letter from the county guard had arrived.

Taking the letterhead, Zhou Wenyuan's expression stretched slightly, and a trace of satisfaction appeared on his face. "Fortunately, Brother An'er was keen and made a response in advance......"

After that, Zhou Wenyuan handed the letter to Zhou Wenbo beside him, who glanced through it at a glance and ten lines, and then passed the letter to Zhou Daoan.

Zhou Daoan took the letter and read it carefully - it turned out that the letter from the county guard said that the documents of the imperial court had just arrived at the county office, and it was an order to allow the Western Zhou Dynasty to return to the sect. With this decree, there is no problem on the official side, and the confluence of the east and west weeks can be registered.

The time for this urgent letter to arrive is very delicate, it is late at night, and the document can come so late, it is estimated that it is the Duke of Liang's side that plays a role! In other words, the original document came down, but Liang Dagong was slightly stuck, and now he relaxed his hand, so naturally he sent a letter to notify him as soon as possible.

"Second ......" Zhou Wenyuan groaned slightly, and said decisively, "I don't think we should postpone the announcement of the merger, and don't even follow our original plan - simply, let's settle this matter tomorrow!" Look at what else his Xia family is capable of! ”

Zhou Wenyuan attaches great importance to the matter of confluence, which is also afraid of long nights and dreams.

Zhou Wenbo thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he immediately agreed and arranged it overnight.

On the first day of the spring festival, it was 200 miles away from Ikawa, which was located in Yuzhang County.

In the heart of the town, a sprawling building that is no more than 10 years old sits it. This is also a Hui building, no matter the area or height, no less than the Zhou family Benzong Hui Lou hundreds of miles away. A building of this scale could only be built more than 500 years ago.

But the building in front of me is full of freshness, and it can never be owned by an ancient family. However, if you look closely, you will find that although this building is tall, the number of floors is only three floors, which is just stuck with the rule of "the number of floors of the family in 300 years shall not exceed three and one floor in the next 100 years".

The "landmark building" in this small city is owned by the Xia family. At this moment, the outside of the Xia family's Huizi building is quiet - it stands to reason that on the first day of the spring festival, the ancestor worship activities are particularly grand. In particular, this year's ancestor worship, when the crown prince Xia Minru returns to his hometown, it should be handled well. Xia Taifu, this is the most important person in the entire Xia family. If it weren't for Mrs. Xia, the Xia family would not have been among the ranks of the upstart families.

However, this time Mrs. Xia returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and it was not a big fanfare - it has been 10 days since he came back, and Mrs. Xia has been closed to visitors, whether it is the county guard of Lichuan or the local squire, the old clansmen, all of them are gone. The reason is also very good: the old father is ill and has no intention of communicating. What? You came to visit the old lady on purpose? Well, I received my heart, I received half of the gift, and I will visit and thank you when I have time.

At this moment, the ancestor worship, the Xia family is also held behind closed doors. Outside the Hui building, no one can see the clues, and inside the Hui building, it is a spring bloom. Goblins drive the heat energy to keep the three-story building warm, and you only need to wear a thin spring shirt to walk in it.

In the main hall, the core members of the Xia family made a big salute to the ancestral tablet, and a middle-aged man presided over the ceremony, and then, after the worship ended, the first middle-aged man in a crimson robe in the kneeling crowd saluted incense.

The man was about fifty years old, his beard and hair were gray, but the skin on his face was well maintained, the corners of his eyes were narrow, and the fine lines spread out, showing a deep thought.

He didn't say a word, just saluted the incense, and then still silently walked through all the forms of ancestor worship. Waiting for everything to be over, he didn't even bother to give a word of instruction to the rest of the family, and went directly to the largest room behind the main hall.

The heating in this house is even hotter, and an old man in a brocade robe and in a wheelchair is surrounded by three beautiful maids, enjoying a spoonful of sugar water from this hand and a grape from the other...... It wasn't until the middle-aged man in the crimson robe walked in that the old man restrained some of his dissolute looks.

"Father, how are you feeling today?" The middle-aged man in the scarlet robe called his father in his mouth, but there was no respectful look, and his tone was indifferent.

The old man, who was obviously an elder, was a little afraid of this scarlet robe junior, and saw that a smile was squeezed out of his somewhat stiff face, and he said vaguely: "Okay, it's good!" Since eating the old ginseng you brought back, this breath has come up, and my body has been getting better and better. In another two or three days, this Rausch child will not have to sit in a wheelchair. ”

Seeing that the old man was a little flattering, the middle-aged man in the scarlet robe didn't react, but shook his head and said, "No, you have to sit in a wheelchair for at least 1 month." ”

The old man's eyebrows jumped, and he subconsciously wanted to oppose - although he was served well on this day, his son said that he would sit for 1 month, which meant that he could not go out of the room, could not meet guests, and could not have fun! In the past 20 days, he has already come over like this, but after all, he has had a small stroke, in order to save his life, it doesn't hurt to be honest, but he is about to get better when he sees a doctor, and he is still holding it like this, which is a little unbearable.

But if he objected, he didn't dare to say anything in front of his majestic son. The old man knew very well that his ancestors had been civilians for eighteen generations, and only when he was lucky enough to give birth to a child who was particularly good at reading, did the Xia family begin to prosper.

Now this boss has a very high official position, and the whole family has to live on his nose. It's okay if he doesn't come back, the Xia family will be the king and hegemon in Lichuan; But as soon as he came back, these battles were all reined in, and no one dared to say a word.

Old lady Xia is a short-sighted person, and she can't figure out what it means to be rich and noble, but there is one good thing - I always believe in the vision and intentions of this son.

So when the words came to his lips, Old Lady Xia held back again, and just nodded sullenly. Then he said, "How long will Chengyin be locked up?" You also scolded this kid, and you also knew that it was wrong, and you didn't go out during the Chinese New Year...... Ancestor worshippers should always let him come out to offer incense, right? Your seed, but this is the only one! ”

The middle-aged man in the scarlet robe walked up to the old man, took the sugar water bowl in the maid's hand, gently scooped a scoop, handed it to his father's mouth, and said:

"It is precisely because he is my only son that I can't add to the chaos at this time. I often tell you that the Xia family has a shallow foundation, and I work in Yongjing, so you must behave at home. ”

Speaking of this, the old man's face was a little unnatural, and he took a sip of sugar water stupidly, feeling that it didn't taste good. But the middle-aged man's words didn't stop-

"But you have turned a deaf ear to my words. Forget about your old poor relatives, after all, they can be abandoned at any time when they are dying. But I can't part with you and Chengyin, if something goes wrong with you, I have to bury you.

"Don't think I'm alarmist. What you have been tossing around in Icheon for the past few years, don't think that no one dares to say anything. To tell you the truth, I'm in Yongjing, and I have suppressed ten letters just to sue you in the fish and meat township. Forget about the prince's place, it is impossible for the saint not to know. The reason why I can still be beautiful is because the prince can't do without me, and the saint doesn't want to touch the prince......

But there is a limit to patience. No matter how much you toss in this small county, you won't provoke any big people. But this time, it was Ren Cong who Chengyin provoked - who was that? Half of the teacher of the saint is the master who stirred up the storm in Yongjing a year ago. Do you think he won't be a character after he was demoted out of the capital? Or do you think he's no different from you if he doesn't have an official status? ”

Without waiting for the old man to explain, the man in the scarlet robe directly sent a spoonful of sugar water to block the old man's mouth, and continued: "It was easy to send Chengyin to his door, but in the end, not only did he not give me a relationship with Ren Cong, but he offended people, you say, what kind of good grandson did you teach?" Do you want your son to be my enemy of the entire Wenzong in the capital? Is it that the good life has been too long and you want to go back to the old life of not having enough to eat? If so, indulge him any longer. ”

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't take care of swallowing the sugar water, and quickly shook his head in denial, his face showed the color of pleading, and he no longer dared to intercede for his grandson.

The middle-aged man in the scarlet robe looked at the old father's panicked appearance, so he put down the sugar water, wiped his hands, and continued: "There are some things that I don't explain, because you can't understand or understand, just do it." But now it seems that this did not work well. So, this time I'll tell you the truth......

"This world looks peaceful, but in fact it is not. In the past two years, it is likely that something big will happen. I had to climb up a little bit more before the big thing happened. If you want to go up, you have to step on your feet. Therefore, you must remember clearly that this disease is caused by Chengyin. I'm coming back for your sickness. I said you're not good, it's just not good. ”
