Chapter 1173: The Abandoned
Zhou Shuren remained silent. Zhulan looked at the frightened eldest couple. They were probably the only ones in the family who didn't know Yuyun's purpose.
Yu Yin said in a particularly friendly manner, "It's not expensive."
Li looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, this thing is too expensive. We can't accept it."
A tray of gems and jade pendants. She just went back to her hometown. Are gems of this quality available everywhere in the capital?
Zhulan saw Fourth Uncle looking at him and said, "Take it."
Zhou Lao Da and his wife looked at each other. This situation was not right. They were straightforward, but not stupid. There was something serious going on here. Zhou Lao Da accepted it tremblingly, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle."
Chang Yi looked at his eldest nephew Mingyun with the rest of his eyes. His eldest nephew would tell him when he got back that, in fact, if he had not had so few sons, he would have really earned money in the past, and it would not have been so easy to get a title.
In the first house, Mr. Zhou and his wife were dumbfounded after hearing what their eldest son said. Mr. Zhou was stunned, "Passing on Mingteng?"
Mingyun nodded, "Yes, there were signs of this a long time ago."
Of course, he hadn't discovered it before, so he didn't know Yu Yun's true identity at that time. But after it was exposed, he understood it.
Li was excited, "No, that's my son, my son."
Boss Zhou couldn't change his mind for a moment. He didn't want to adopt his son even if he had many sons. "I, I'll go find my father."
Mingyun stopped him, "Dad, calm down first."
He had been observing for many days and it was obvious that his grandfather agreed. The fact that the Fourth Grandfather lived in the Zhou Mansion was proof of this. Moreover, it was the Fourth Grandfather who taught Mingteng these days. He had been watching and saw that Mingteng's temperament had become much calmer.
Mr. Zhou's mind was in a trance. He looked at his eldest son and said, "I, I can't calm down."
Li slammed the table in annoyance, "I, I want to go find my mother."
Li was a man of action, and was unwilling to remain calm and wait. Mingyun watched his mother leave helplessly. What else could he do at this moment? Of course he went with her. "Dad, let's go too."
In the main courtyard, Zhulan was drinking tea without changing her clothes. She kept looking at the door. When she heard the noise, she said to Zhou Shuren, "I won."
She said that the eldest brother and his wife would definitely come, but Zhou Shuren didn't believe it and thought that Mingyun would not come.
As soon as Li came in and met her mother-in-law's eyes, she lost all her temper and said in a particularly frightened tone, "Mom, are you waiting for us?"
Zhulan was surprised that Li was the first to come in. Then she saw Zhou Lao Da and Ming Yun and gestured, "Everyone, please sit down."
Boss Zhou called out "Dad" loudly. Zhou Shuren twitched his mouth, twitched his beard, and hummed.
Boss Zhou couldn't help but grab his son's sleeve with his fat hands, and felt inexplicably relieved.
Mingyun, "."
The parents, who reacted so violently in the yard, were actually frightened when they arrived at the main courtyard gate, especially the mother, who had been standing at the gate for who knows how many times until he and the father arrived, and then she mustered up the courage to come in.
Now I am so frightened that I dare not say a single word.
Zhou Laoda felt the old man's eyes on him and shrank back. Then he realized that something was wrong. He hadn't made any mistakes. He raised his head abruptly and met the old man's eyes. He shrank his neck again. The momentum he had finally raised was gone. He said weakly, "Dad, I heard that Fourth Uncle wants it."
Zhou Shuren lost his patience, "I'm scary?"
Boss Zhou shook his head non-stop, "No, it's not scary."
Zhu Lan burst out laughing and glared at Zhou Shuren, "Put away your arrogance. This is home, not the government office. I think you've been an official for too long, and your face is getting more and more stern."
Zhou Shuren laughed, "Then I'll say it with a smile."
Lee, "."
Boss Zhou, "."
No, in fact they prefer the old man not to smile!
Boss Zhou pulled his son and said, Mingyun, "Grandpa, are you really planning to take over Mingteng?"
So let him come, he is the only one who can support this family.
Zhou Shuren glared at Zhou Lao Da, then smiled at his eldest grandson, "Well, this is good for Ming Teng. From the perspective of your eldest house, Ming Teng will have a title in the future, inherit a fortune, and learn a lot of skills. Ming Teng's personality requires someone to teach him. I don't have the time and energy, and Ming Yun is not suitable to teach Ming Teng."
In fact, Mingyun didn't need to ask his grandfather, because he had already thought about the benefits of Mingteng's succession. And as his grandfather said, he still needed his grandfather's teachings. Without rich reading experience to teach Mingteng, Mingteng would have to put in a lot of effort if he wanted to succeed.
Seeing that the eldest brother and Li's eyes lit up, Zhou Shuren no longer took the eldest brother and his wife as a problem. The couple were just straightforward and calmed down when they realized the benefits of the move. They were not stupid. Many people could not exchange for a title no matter how much merit they had, let alone a huge fortune. Of course, the most important thing was the inherited connections. Yu Yun had been able to live for so many years, so he had connections.
It's not that he thinks Ming Teng is a bad kid. On the contrary, he is a good kid. It's just like every family, resources are limited. Even if he tries his best to get resources from home, there are not many. His sons have taken up too much of his effort, and all his efforts are on his eldest grandson.
There are too many grandchildren in the family. It’s not so bad for the younger ones, as they can slowly wait for a few years and wait for their sons to provide them with some resources of their own.
But the eldest wife was different. She had many sons, and Mingyun and Mingteng were of similar age. He focused more on Mingyun, so naturally he had less time for Mingteng. When he first came to Beijing, he still had some time to teach Mingteng and Mingrui.
Now he has no time at all and has not taught his two children for a long time. This time when Mingteng was beaten, it made him more determined to take over Mingteng. Mingteng has grown up and needs a good education.
He had also seen these days that his cheap uncle had put all his attention on Mingteng and used all kinds of methods to guide Mingteng, which was something he did not have the energy for.
Zhou Shuren thought about a lot and continued, "From another aspect, because Lord Rong's child has the blood of the Yao family, Lord Rong's lineage can tolerate it, but my fourth uncle can't. Although they are both direct descendants, they are not related by blood. Therefore, only my bloodline is suitable. The family inheritance cannot be broken, not just for the sake of inheriting the title and wealth."
Finally, Zhou Shuren said, "The Emperor doesn't want this branch to be cut off."
Otherwise, he would not have asked when his eldest brother and his wife would come back. It was obvious that the emperor was aware of the succession issue and hoped for it very much. This made the relationship between the Zhou family and the Rong family even closer.
But we can also see from here that the emperor abandoned Rong Enqing's branch, and Rong Enqing could only enjoy wealth and luxury.
Mingyun was brought up by Grandpa since he was a child. No matter how busy Grandpa was, he would always take time to teach him. Last time, Grandpa told him why the prince called him Grandpa in public. Now, after hearing what Grandpa said, "Do you want to tie the Zhou family and the Rong family together?"
If Ming Teng succeeded, wouldn't he be tied up to death? That means he also tied up his grandfather to death!
Zhou Shuren's eyes were full of smiles. This was the kid he taught. "You're right."
Chapter 1, severe headache, and overslept.
