The reason is that the tax for gift is a little higher than that for inheritance, so in name, she and Chen Chaosheng are now in a godly relationship.
When she arrived, the Men family was already there.
The men wore suits and the women all wore cheongsams. The men sat at the main seats, at the table, and the women all sat on chairs beside them.
She looked at the golden bowl on the table, smiled, and waved her hand for Song Yi to sit on the chair behind her.
"Golden bowls and silver chopsticks, your family's hospitality is very sincere!" she said to the person next door.
Men Huigui smiled, said nothing, and took out a menu.
After she took it, she took a look and started ordering.
"The abalone, shark's fin, and Buddha's jump over the wall that I ordered doesn't have any of that."
The Men family quickly took out another menu, and after she ordered, she ordered, "Use old things to serve the dishes!"
The head of the Men family nodded to Men Huigui in confirmation.
She began to respond.
"You can't just treat me, I have to treat you too. Song Yi, ask someone to go to the street and buy the cheapest miscellaneous rice, and a bowl of vegetable dumplings!"
Song Yi quickly stood up and asked his bodyguard to buy it.
The head of the Men family smiled at her and said, "I am Men Sixing, the father of Men Huigui. Our ancestors are old acquaintances of your great grandfather."
After saying that, Men Sixing took out an old photo, which was a group photo of the older generations of the two families.
She had also seen this photo.
"You, the Lin family, are so dishonest!" she said with a cold face.
Men Huigui, that is, Lin Huigui, hurriedly explained: "My family fled to avoid disaster. When we were wandering outside, we changed our names for a long time to prevent accidents. We only changed them back recently!"
Fang Zongtang looked at the Lin family with a cold face.
"I know your intentions. You don't need to explain. I understand. You are just afraid that I will covet your family's wealth and that I won't admit it."
The Lin family remained silent in awkward silence.
She looked at him coldly: "You don't need to test me, and I won't test you. When your old grandfather and my great-grandfather went fishing in the West Lake, they didn't catch any fish. Instead, a big carp took the jade pendant away!" This was the last code word.
Lin Huigui was embarrassed and quickly explained: "There are too many side branches in our family. They also know what's going on. We are afraid that they will become desperate and come to trouble you!"
Fang Zongtang: "Do they know the code words?"
Lin Huigui shook his head: "I don't know."
She sneered, "My great grandfather has been waiting for you for many years. You didn't come back earlier or later, but you had to wait until now to come back. It's really time for you to come back!"
Lin Huigui quickly explained: "My great grandfather passed away a long time ago. Before he died, he told us the secret code. We came back once ten years ago, and at that time~"
She raised her hand to interrupt: "I'm missing~"
Lin Huigui was so embarrassed that he didn't say anything.
Lin Sixing sighed and said, "We were afraid that you would think too much after knowing it, so we didn't come to you right away."
She interrupted again: "There's no point in saying that. Didn't you come back this time just to get the things hidden in your house? I went back a few days ago, and Men Huigui, oh~ no, it was Lin Huigui, also went back. The things are in Yun Province, and it's not easy to get into that place now. It may take a few years!"
Lin Huigui knew that even to travel to some remote areas in the inland, a letter of introduction was still required.
He now had basically no doubt about Fang Zongtang's words.
Fang Zongtang: "When we hid those things, the two families hid them together. I can only lead you to the place, but your family members have to come to open the door."
"Your ancestors were the ones who built the imperial mausoleum. The craftsmanship hasn't been lost, right?"
