The Chu family's mansion is magnificent, although it cannot be compared with the Shen family, a big family that has been rooted in Tongzhou Mansion for hundreds of years, but in this Tongzhou Mansion, the Chu family is an out-and-out family.

Chu Xiu followed the second lady to the Chu family's meeting hall, which was already full of people at this time, and at the top sat a tall middle-aged man with a square face, wearing a brocade robe and slightly closed eyes.

This middle-aged man is Chu Xiu's father, Chu Zongguang, the head of the Chu family.

Speaking of Chu Zongguang's experience is also legendary, he came to Tongzhou Mansion with dozens of people from the Chu family more than 20 years ago, and gained a foothold in Tongzhou Mansion from scratch, and now, the Chu family has become one of the three major families in Tongzhou Mansion, and even stronger than the Li family that has been rooted in Tongzhou Mansion for hundreds of years.

It's just that in Chu Xiu's memory, his father can be called extremely indifferent, he hasn't seen his father a few times since he was a child.

Of course, Chu Zongguang was not only indifferent to him, but also similar to other sons, the only one who could be better was the fourth child of the Chu family, and Chu Zongguang's youngest son Chu was injured.

Chu Xiu didn't think about it so much before, but now after crossing through rebirth, Chu Xiu feels that his father is a little strange.

Chu Zongguang's strength is innate, he has crossed the quenching and blood coagulation, and has reached the realm of the integration of qi, blood, muscles and bones in the body, without impurities, like a newborn baby, the current Chu Zongguang is actually in his fifties, but he looks even younger than the second lady in her forties.

The martial artists of the innate realm are already considered to have entered the hall in the martial arts, and they are not unknown in the outside world, but they are genuine masters in this Tongzhou Mansion.

It's just that in Chu Xiu's memory, his father has been in retreat and cultivation, and even retreated to the point where he doesn't even care about the internal affairs of the Chu family, and only expresses his opinions on some major matters, if it weren't for the fact that he is the strongest in the Chu family now, I'm afraid that the power of the Chu family will be lost.

In fact, it's nothing to like retreat, after all, their Chu family is also a martial arts family, although it is only the smallest kind, but in the rivers and lakes, strength is everything, rather than bothering to drill the camp, it is better to directly suppress people.

But the problem is that Chu Zongguang has cultivated so hard for more than 20 years, but his own strength doesn't seem to have changed much, it's just a waste of time, he doesn't have the talent to understand, no matter how hard he retreats, he can't become a master.

Below Chu Zongguang were five old men, the youngest of whom were in their sixties.

These old men are all elders of the Chu family, and they are also the elders of Chu Zongguang, and they also hold some power in the Chu family.

There are still some people standing beside these elders, these are just the stewards and stewards of the Chu family, and some of them are the descendants of these elders, and they also hold part of the power of the Chu family.

In addition to these elders and stewards, sitting on both sides were Chu Zongguang's wives and Chu Xiu's brothers.

The eldest lady of the Chu family is said to have been born in a big family and married Chu Zongguang before Chu Zongguang came to Tongzhou Mansion.

Chu Kai, the boss of the Chu family, is tall, and there is always a hint of arrogance on his face, he is also the strongest among the four brothers of the Chu family, and he has reached the blood coagulation realm.

And Chu Sheng, the third elder of the Chu family, was slightly thin, and he always had a warm smile on his face, but his gaze at Chu Xiu was with a hint of cruelty, obviously he didn't expect Chu Xiu to come back alive.

The third lady of the Chu family is a woman in her thirties, who is most loved by Chu Zongguang, the fourth elder of the Chu family, Chu Shu is only sixteen years old this year, with a handsome appearance, and it is said that she looks very similar to Chu Zongguang when he was young, so she is also the most loved by Chu Zongguang.

There are four sons of the Chu family, but there are only three wives, and Chu Xiu's biological mother is just a concubine, of course, she is not the lady that Ming Media is marrying.

Chu Xiu walked in and saluted to everyone in the council hall: "I have seen my father, the eldest uncle, the third uncle, the seventh uncle, the eighth uncle, the ninth uncle, the eldest mother, the second mother, and the third mother." ”

Chu Zongguang nodded lightly, but said lightly: "I'm back, go sit down." ”

His father opened his mouth no matter what he said, and as for Chu Xiu's five uncles, they didn't even raise their eyelids.

They are two generations older than Chu Xiu, of course they don't care about him as a junior, the most important thing is that everyone knows what Chu Xiu's status is in the Chu family, and they don't need to care.

Chu Zongguang coughed and said: "My Chu family has been in Tongzhou Mansion for more than 20 years, and now it can be regarded as completely rooted here, the children have grown up in recent years, and several uncles are also urging, my Chu family, it is time to determine the position of the heir of this family first." ”

At this time, the eldest lady of the Chu family suddenly said: "What else is decided? Chu Kai is the eldest son of the Chu family, and his strength is also the strongest, if Chu Kai is not allowed to be the heir, who else can be made?"

As soon as she heard this, the second lady of the Chu family immediately sneered and said: "Eldest sister, what you said is not right, why can the eldest son inherit the position of the head of the family? Our Chu family is not a royal family, and the eldest son must be able to inherit it. ”

The eldest lady of the Chu family showed a cold glint in her eyes and said, "You mean that my son is not as good as your son?"

The second lady said unhurriedly: "I didn't say that, I just know that we are all women, and in these major matters, it is still up to the master to decide." ”

As she spoke, the second lady turned her gaze to the third lady: "Sister, did you say?"

The third lady just smiled and said softly: "The slave family is just a woman, of course I don't understand these things, what the master says, that's what it is." ”

As soon as she heard this, the eldest lady's face suddenly turned pale.

Although the third lady did not say it explicitly, listening to her words, it was obvious that she was on the side of the second lady.

Chu Zongguang slapped the table and shouted, "Enough!"

Seeing Chu Zongguang angry, several women stopped talking.

Chu Zongguang rubbed his head with a little headache, what he hated most was dealing with this kind of messy thing.

"Don't say it, of course you have to think carefully about such a big matter as an heir, and several uncles are here today, and the rules are set here.

In a year's time, Chu Kai, Chu Xiu, Chu Sheng, Chu Sheng, the four of you all hold part of the family's business in your hands, and whoever takes care of the family's business the best will have the position of the heir.

Our Chu family is so big, and the business is only so little, whose progress is great, you can see it at a glance. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Zongguang glanced at the youngest Chu Injury, and said, "Although my Chu family is a martial arts family, but because of your age, your strength is not in the inspection for the time being, only your ability, can you agree?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the eldest lady and Chu Kai, the boss of the Chu family, suddenly became gloomy, Chu Zongguang was obviously favoring the youngest Chu Injury, and in one sentence, he lost Chu Kai's greatest advantage.

The second lady smiled and said, "Of course I agree with what the master said." ”

The third lady also followed: "The slave family naturally agreed. ”

Only the eldest lady blushed and snorted coldly: "I don't agree! My Chu family is a martial arts family, and it is a joke to choose the heir of the head of the family without testing the strength!"

Chu Xiu squinted his eyes at the few people present, just through this conversation, he almost touched the personalities of the few people present.

The elders of the Chu family are just decorations and have their own little calculations, but they dare not disobey Chu Zongguang's intentions.

And his eldest brother and eldest lady are both virtuous and arrogant, and no one pays attention to them.

I heard that the eldest lady was from a big family, and now that she saw that it was so, she dared to directly argue with Chu Zongguang.

But it's stupid for her to do this, no matter how big her family is, this is not her family, this is Tongzhou Mansion, but the Chu family, she is so confrontational with Chu Zong, it will only make Chu Zongguang more disgusted.

Needless to say, the second lady was ruthless, her son Chu Sheng's Taoism was much shallower than his mother's, and Chu Xiu could feel the murderous intent from him when he came in.

The last third lady is a smart person, after the eldest lady and the second lady are old and decrepit, she is only loved by Chu Zongguang, and her performance is harmless to humans and animals, but if you don't fight, you fight, Chu hurt is the most liked by Chu Zongguang.

As for Chu Zongguang himself, Chu Xiu could feel that his father was very afraid of trouble, even if he kept saying that choosing the heir of the head of the family was a big deal, but as a result, he still seemed to have a feeling of distraction.

This made Chu Xiu a little strange, could his father really be closed to the devil, and even behaved so perfunctory for such a big thing?

At this moment, the eldest lady of the Chu family suddenly said: "Chu Xiu, although you are a concubine, you are also the heir of my Chu family, what do you think of this matter that the master said?"

Everyone present seemed to notice Chu Xiu at this time, and the second lady frowned suddenly, what she was afraid of was now, although she had won over the third lady and Chu Shu, but Chu Xiu, an idiot, had always stood on the side of the eldest lady and Chu Kai.

The eldest lady also knew this, she raised her eyebrows proudly towards the second lady, two against two, if Chu Zongguang blatantly favored Chu Hurt, it would be a little too much.

But who knew that Chu Xiu smiled at this time, and arched his hand at Chu Zongguang and said, "How dare the child have an opinion on what the father decides? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

The eldest lady and Chu Kai both looked at Chu Xiu in disbelief, especially Chu Kai, but he remembered that this kid had always been a follower behind his ass before, and now he dared to go against himself?

The second lady frowned, she couldn't guess what Chu Xiu was thinking.

She can now be sure that Chu Xiu should know what he designed to kill him, but even if he knew this, he was still on his side, what did Chu Xiu mean?

In fact, Chu Xiu's meaning is very simple, he also wants to fight for the position of the head of the family, standing on the side of the eldest lady, he is still fighting for a fart?

In the past, Chu Xiu didn't want to fight, but now Chu Xiu doesn't fight for the position of the head of the family, can the assets of the Chu family be cheaper than his waste brothers?

At this time, even Chu Zongguang looked at Chu Xiu with a surprised expression, he felt that this son, whom he had always ignored, seemed to be a little different from a year ago, was there such a training in the Nanshan mining area?
