Chapter 792 Five Million Down the drain

Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi are here!

Wan Jiang personally welcomed him in, which also represented the attitude of the Huo family and Zhong Yi.

The Huo family is on good terms with the second son of the Zhong family, and even stands on Zhong Yi's side.

The guests had mixed expressions, all looking at them.

"Please come in, Mr. Huo. Madam Huo, please come in. Mr. Sun, please come in as well." Wan Jiang made way for them, and everyone saw that Huo Xingzhou had brought an inconspicuous follower with him.

Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi were both dressed in black, looking very casual.

Qiao Xi was dressed much thicker than the other female guests. The furry awning covered her upper body, and the dress underneath was also thick.

I heard that before opening an ancestral temple, one must first offer sacrifices to the heavens outside.

In the cold winter months at the end of the year, few people can withstand the low temperature outside. Those who are smart bring coats, while some people just want to look good and save trouble, and prefer style to temperature.

But fortunately, there should be heating in the ancestral hall.

Just go in.

Qiao Xi gently reminded him, "Wan Jiang, you should go and follow Master Zhong first. We can stay by ourselves. We can't make mistakes today. It's better to be safe than sorry. With so many people here, there might be trouble and ruin his plan."

"You are very considerate. I will go over now."

"Go ahead."

Qiao Xi knew that Wan Jiang was a loyal man and had good martial arts skills.

With him by her side, Zhongyi would feel more at ease.

Huo Xingzhou listened to Qiao Xi's arrangement, held her hand tightly, and said in a cold voice: "Stay with me today and don't let anyone bump into you."

"Um."

Sun Wei nodded and said, "Old Chen is going to protect me today, Qiao Xi, you must follow Huo Xingzhou closely. We can't have too many bodyguards at the banquet. The Zhong family is probably afraid that we will cause trouble. Unfortunately, we can do it without so many bodyguards."

He has a mission today.

Sun Shao was holding a bulging men's brand-name bag in his hand.

After the security check, there were no dangerous items, so the Zhong family bodyguards at the door did not ask to search. After all, everyone was a guest, so they could not do too much, as long as they were sure that there was nothing dangerous.

But it was still a bit strange for a man to come to a party carrying a bag.

Ten o'clock.

The Zhong family showed up.

Old Mrs. Zhong was leaning on a cane, and standing next to her was her grandson Zhong Hongfei, followed by Zhong Lingxiao and Zhao Shuyuan, and finally Zhong Yi.

There was also a maid supporting a beautiful woman following behind them. She was the former movie queen Lin Xifei.

This family all look good.

Many people commented: "The old lady is almost 90 years old, but she is still so healthy."

"No matter how tough you are, you should hand over the power to the next person, otherwise the Zhong family will be in chaos if something unexpected happens."

"The Zhong family all got married and had children very early, except for Zhong Lingxiao. He is already in his thirties and still doesn't have his own son."

"Don't talk nonsense. Isn't Miss Lin pregnant? I heard it's been three months, so it should be a sure thing."

"Hurry up and find an opportunity to show your face in front of Master Zhong, so that it will be easier to handle things in the future."

They all had different ideas, but they were basically certain that Zhong Lingxiao would take the top position.

After today, the situation in the imperial capital will change again.

Even the Pei and Lu families had no doubts at all.

The old lady of the Zhong family walked into the crowd and said, "Thank you all for taking the time to attend our Zhong family's important event. Today, I invite you all to join me in offering sacrifices to the heavens and opening the ancestral hall to establish the eleventh generation of the Zhong family's ruler."

"You are so polite, old lady. It is our honor!"

"You are embarrassing us!"

This old lady is the symbol of success of the last era, and he is respected not just because of the Zhong family.

Old Mrs. Zhong smiled and said, "Then please move over and witness the great event of our Zhong family."

He walked in front.

A group of people followed him in a mighty procession, from the banquet hall through the winding corridors, and came to an independent and quaint building with the entire floor paved with stone slabs.

There are stone steps in front of the heavy gate. Looking up, the four words "Zhong Family Ancestral Hall" are majestic and solemn.

The main gate was closed at this time, and it was not yet 10:28.

First offer sacrifices to heaven.

A long table and altar had been set up outside, and offerings, gold paper, etc. had also been placed.

The housekeeper brought a basin of clean water and asked the old lady of the Zhong family to wash her hands first. His skinny fingers were stained with water droplets, and he washed them devoutly.

"Ling Xiao, come forward and offer sacrifice to the heaven with me."

"yes."

Zhong Lingxiao walked past Zhong Yi and glanced at him with a bit of contempt.

There were so many people, but the old lady only asked him to accompany her in offering sacrifices to the heaven.

This has already sent out a very clear signal, and those who understand will understand.

Zhong Lingxiao also washed his hands in the washbasin, then wiped the water off his hands with a clean towel, and finally stood beside the old lady.

The housekeeper lit the incense candles and gave three sticks to the old lady and Zhong Lingxiao respectively.

The two of them looked serious and worshipped respectfully.

Finally, it was inserted into the incense burner.

After going through a series of processes, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was completed.

No one made a loud noise during the whole process. Those who sat in this seat and could attend the Zhong family's banquet all believed it and had some awe in their hearts.

There was a loud gong sound that shook the sky.

Ten twenty-eight!

The door of the Zhong Family Ancestral Hall slowly opened, and the old lady walked in front holding Zhong Lingxiao's hand.

Zhong Lingxiao turned around to look at Zhong Yi who was at the end and raised his eyebrows.

Zhong Yi, what can you compare with me?

Today, everyone is watching and he is the heir chosen by the old lady.

The other guests followed into the ancestral hall and exclaimed in amazement.

The Zhong family's ancestral hall is well-arranged in every brick, tile, grass and tree. It is said that this hall was built hundreds of years ago and is full of traces of history. There are rows of ancestral tablets in the hall, many of which are famous figures of that era.

In order to take care of the health of the guests, the heating in the ancestral hall was turned on, but because it was ventilated everywhere, the effect was much worse.

"Come here, all of you."

Old Mrs. Zhong greeted them.

Zhong Lingxiao and his son Zhong Hongfei were the first to step forward, followed by Zhao Shuyuan.

Zhong Yi fell behind.

Old Mrs. Zhong said with a cold face: "Are you so lazy when it comes to worshipping your ancestors? Why don't you come forward?"

The tone is often accusatory.

Zhong Yi walked forward, stood with Zhong Lingxiao and said, "I thought the old lady only had my brother in her eyes and had forgotten about me."

This jealous look really confirms the rumors.

The second young master Zhong felt that he could not compare to the first young master Zhong and had given up on himself.

Zhong Lingxiao smiled gently: "Zhong Yi, don't learn from those petty people and make people feel disgusted. The old lady doesn't like to hear such words. You have to respect your elders."

"oh."

Zhong Yi responded expressionlessly.

In the corner.

Feng Nanxi ate the small cake brought from the banquet hall in front and said vaguely, "How arrogant! I guess you won't be able to laugh anymore soon."

Her half brother Feng Yunchuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said, "He is really arrogant. Zhong Yi will soon stop laughing. I think he is just forcing himself."

Feng Nanxi looked down at him and said unhappily, "Who said Zhong Yi! I was talking about Zhong Lingxiao!"

"Sister, are you crazy? Zhong Lingxiao is the next person in charge of the Zhong family."

"Everyone is drunk but I am sober. You are also a hopeless fool. Don't disturb me from watching the show. I bet five million."

Bet 5 million on being the final winner!

Feng Yunchuan heard this and said, "You are crazy! Five million is just a waste! Do you really think there is a miracle?"

Feng Nanxi glanced at him with pity, then looked away. There were only two people betting on Zhong Yisheng, with odds of nine to one.

I wonder who else has such good vision!
