Chapter 34: The Family Assembly
The position of the head of the family has no attraction to Chu Yun, and he has to worry about this and that, which is very troublesome.
But there are two choices for the next head of the family, one is Chu Yun and the other is Chu Xian.
Chu Yun still has feelings for the Chu family after all, and he can't watch the Chu family ruined in Chu Xian's hands.
If he doesn't go, the head of the family will fall to Chu Xian.
Chu Xian was too afraid of guilt, and seeing Yu Man was like a mouse seeing a cat. Let him be the head of the family, undoubtedly sending the Chu family village to Yu Man, and it will not be long before the Chu family's family business will definitely be divided between Yu Man and the Shen family.
Chu Yun thought of this very easily.
After all, Shen Hua and Yu Man had to design murder before.
............
The election meeting of the head of the Chu family was very grand.
Many people of the same clan in the immediate and collateral lines, such as the elder brother and nephew of the old man of Chu, as well as many key people in the management of family affairs, such as Duan Hu's generation, all rushed to Chujiazhuang before noon.
In the largest council hall in the village, everyone gathers.
Up to Old Man Chu, down to Duan Hu, there were dozens of people.
It is only fair that so many people get together and decide who will be the next head of the family.
Next to Old Man Chu's seat was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar.
At first glance, this man is a person who has been in an official position for a long time, and his demeanor has a temperament of holding power.
He is the Taishou of Wuhe County, and he is also Yu Man's father, Yu Qingfeng.
The Chu family is a big family in Tianxiang City, and it is Yu Taishou's in-laws, and it is understandable that Yu Qingfeng appeared at this important conference.
Chu Xian's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't seem to be very suitable for such a solemn scene. Yu Man, who was next to him, was very happy, and talked to others from time to time.
Everyone has arrived, but Chu Yun has not yet come.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat next to Chu Yun's seat a little embarrassed, she was now Chu Yun's wife, and her status was comparable to Yu Man's.
Many clansmen kept looking out, and at the same time whispered: "Why hasn't the second young master come yet, according to the old man's arrangement, the time should come." ”
"This second young master, can't you forget......"
"How is it possible, such an important thing. ”
"What's impossible, you don't know this guy's temperament. ”
"That's right...... Although the eldest young master is too humble and weak, he is still a little stronger than the second young master......"
Old Man Chu was also a little strange at this time, and asked Mu Xiaoxiao sideways: "Xiao Xiao, is there anything wrong with him today?"
Mu Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Such an important clan meeting, the clouds will definitely come." ”
Before she finished speaking, Yu Man snorted coldly and sneered: "This guy who can't make it, I'm afraid he knows that he has no hope, so he won't come directly." ”
Old Man Chu glanced at Yu Man lightly and didn't say anything.
Who will be the head of the house? Old Man Chu had actually made a decision.
This grand family meeting is actually just a passing scene.
The most important thing is that Chu Yi wants to expose some of Yu Man's rebellious things in front of all the clansmen. This is also why, he invited Taishou to come, only in front of Yu Qingfeng, some things can be explained clearly......
Just when the hall was full of people waiting for Chu Yun, the second son finally appeared outside the door.
Chu Yun walked into the council hall very calmly, looked around at the people, and praised: "There are a lot of people here." ”
"Hehe, with so many people waiting for you, your shelf is really big enough. Yu Man said meanly.
Yu Qingfeng couldn't help but scold: "Yu Man, be polite to your own family. ”
"Hmph. Yu Man twisted his head disdainfully.
Chu Yun laughed: "I'm sorry everyone, I fell asleep in the bath just now, so I made you wait for a long time." ”
After speaking, he didn't look "sorry" at all, and unceremoniously sat down next to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Old Man Chu's face was a little embarrassed, and he said to everyone: "The character of this kid in the cloud is like this, everyone should know it, so don't worry about him." Now that everyone is here, let's get straight to the point, how about it?"
"Well, electing the head of the family is a big deal, and we will all be solemn. ”
Immediately, everyone nodded in agreement. Although many of these people have the same surname Chu, they still don't have as much power as Chu Yi, so they are all very respectful.
Chu Yi continued: "Since the old man's health is getting worse and worse these days, I am afraid that the day of his departure is not far away, and before leaving, the future of the family must be arranged. So today, I will convene you to discuss which of my two grandchildren, Chu Xian and Chu Yun, is more worthy of the position of the head of the family. ”
"Alas......"
There was a sigh in the council hall, and this sigh was a sincere pity.
If Chu Yi returns to the west, whether it is Chu Yun or Chu Xian, he will definitely not be as good as Chu Yi as the head of the family. What kind of family can a gentleman and a nest manage well?
"The old man is auspicious, and he will be fine. ”
"That's right, I think even if the old man is the head of the family for another twenty or thirty years, there will be no problem. ”
Many people comforted.
Chu Yi looked very open, and said, "Old man, my own body, I know ......."
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and coughed violently.
"Cough, cough, roar, ......"
By the time the handkerchief was removed, it was already covered in blood.
Chu Yi smiled palely: "Look, I've started to vomit blood recently, and the old bones are useless." ”
As he spoke, his godless eyes quietly looked at Yu Man, but saw a slight arc appear at the corner of Yu Man's mouth.
Chu Yi's heart was desolate, and he sighed secretly.
Yu Man, even if you are Yu Qingfeng's daughter, but if you want to murder me, you almost poisoned the clouds, I can't ignore it......
Then he asked the maid to take away the blood-stained handkerchief, and then continued: "My Chu family has always advocated fairness and justice, so let Chu Yun and Chu Xian have a competition later, and we will jointly select them." ”
"As for how to compete, I've already figured it out. First there was a martial fight, then a civil fight, and then it was decided by everyone's vote. Of course, according to each person's position and seniority in the Chu family, the weight of voting is also different. ”
Chu Yi briefly explained the rules, and no one raised objections.
The so-called weight of voting, everyone knows in their hearts. Old Man Chu's vote is the most important thing. The other clansmen combined, may be worth the old man's vote.
"The so-called martial arts fight is very simple, Chu Yun, Chu Xian, you come forward and have a martial arts competition in front of the clansmen. Whoever wins, gets the first step. You have to behave well, whoever behaves well, the clansmen will naturally be more inclined to whom!" Chu Yi then arranged.
