The real wife of the house fight will not go to court

Chapter 74

Oops, as soon as these words came out, it was another round of frying pans, and the voice was so chirping that I couldn't hear it clearly.Rong Lanxue didn't make a sound, just ate tea leisurely, looking like they didn't like any of them.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back anymore and yelled: "Shut up!"

It turned out to be the brightly dressed woman from Tian Wang's family. She stepped forward a few steps, walked to the front of everyone, made a gesture for everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "Come one by one! They are all like you, how can Miss Rong hear clearly?"

Rong Lanxue nodded inwardly, but those maids and maids didn't sell her at all, and they wanted to knock her down with a lot of chatter.Tian Wang's family shouted loudly: "Like you, you can say a word to each other, and no one can speak in the end. It's better to follow the ranking, starting from the eldest wife, and come one by one. If anyone is articulate and capable, he will be counted as a row." In the last one, you can still stand out, and anyone who is stupid and tongue-tied is useless even if he ranks first, don't you think, Miss Rong?" Her last sentence was asked to Rong Lanxue, obviously to make Rong Lan Xue supported her.

Rong Lanxue appreciated that she could come out to maintain order at this time, and said happily: "You are right, let's start with the eldest lady."

Those maidservants originally thought that Tian Wang's family had selfish intentions, but now that she didn't want to start with them, but put the eldest wife first, they gradually became convinced and stood in line in order .

Rong Lanxue listened to them talking one by one, with different versions, but they were talking about the same thing, and she finally got a clear understanding of the whole story. Yunlong's parents passed away one after another, and the clan's family suddenly lost the person in charge, and it was a mess.Originally, in this situation, the elders of the clan should be invited to preside over the overall situation and re-elect a new Patriarch. However, the brothers and sisters-in-law of the clan refused to accept anyone, and they all claimed to be the heads of the clan. of this situation.

The matter was clarified, but Rong Lanxue didn't quite believe it. Think about it, what does it have to do with her when they fight for the head of the family?How could she, a daughter-in-law who hadn't gotten married yet, attract countless future family members to come forward and push people in front of her?
She frowned and pondered, but Yupan was straight-tempered, and asked directly, "It seems that Mr. Zong San is very popular among your masters, so many people have come here, vying to serve our young lady."

What Rong Lanxue didn't expect was that as soon as Yupan said this, the maids and women were embarrassed and turned their eyes elsewhere, but none of them wanted to answer.It seems that there are still some things that they concealed and did not say.

Rong Lanxue looked at them one by one, got an idea, got up and said, "I'm tired too, I'll decide who to keep after I think about it." As she spoke, with an expression that no one liked, she held a tender smile on her face. He went in with the jade plate.

Back in the room, Lianxiang and Yupan laid down Rong Lanxue on the soft couch, Yupan asked suspiciously: "Miss, why didn't you leave one or two just now, so that you can ask in detail?"

Rong Lanxue said firmly: "Don't worry, they will come to the door in a short time."

Yupan still didn't believe it, but before half a cup of tea was over, the conch in front of the second wife took advantage of the opportunity of serving tea to come.

She brought a cup of tea to Rong Lanxue's hand, but she hesitated and refused to leave, insisting on asking Rong Lanxue if she had any orders.Rong Lanxue deliberately said: "It's nothing, you can go down." Conch looked disappointed, and walked slowly towards the door.Right behind her, Rong Lanxue sighed with Yupan: "There are so many people, but no one is telling the truth. It's really disappointing."

As soon as the conch heard this, it turned around like clockwork, ran back to her side, knelt down with a plop, and said: "Miss Rong, this servant has long wanted to tell you, It's just that there were too many people talking just now, which was inconvenient."

Rong Lanxue suppressed a smile and said, "Then you go ahead and let me listen."

Conch hesitated for a while, and repeatedly confirmed that Rong Lanxue would keep it secret, and then told her in a low voice: "The patriarch said, the third son is not yet 20 years old, and has not yet been crowned, so someone needs to take care of it... all the ladies at home Upon hearing this, they all felt that they were the only ones who were qualified to be the adoptive parents of the Third Young Master, and no one would accept anyone else, so they started arguing."

The more Rong Lanxue listened, the more confused she became, and she asked, "How many sisters do you three young masters have?"

Conch replied: "There is only one older sister, who married into the Chi family and is also in Guangzhou."

Rong Lanxue was even more surprised: "Then, the parents of Mr. Zongsan only have one son. If he is adopted, wouldn't there be no one in their family to inherit the incense?"

Conch hurriedly explained: "The third son is not a successor, he just recognizes his status." After finishing speaking, he said mysteriously: "In fact, the father of the third son is only ranked fourth in our family. The reason why he passed the front The three masters became the head of the house. Because he was the best at doing business and making money, the old master personally appointed him when he was still alive. Among the younger generation, the third son is the one who is the best at doing business and making money. , on this point, no one dares to argue with him, so in fact, the third son is the next patriarch who deserves his name."

Hearing this, Rong Lanxue understood a little bit, and said: "You mean, in fact, the patriarch of this term should be the third son of Zong, but the patriarch refused to let him take office immediately on the grounds that he was not yet weak, Among the many elders, find him a pair of 'adoptive parents', and this pair of adoptive parents can take over the Zong family as the head of the family before the third son of Zong is weak, right?"

Conch hesitated for a moment, and answered "yes". Rong Lanxue looked at her with a playful look, and asked, "Then your second wife also wants to be the adoptive mother of Young Master Zong?"

"No, no, no." Conch denied repeatedly, "If our second wife had such thoughts, she would not allow me to tell Miss Rong about this matter. Our second wife and second master just really feel sorry for the third son. So I just want to do my best to arrange this marriage for him.” She said, apologetic: “It’s just that our second master and second wife are limited in their abilities, and they can’t come up with a better house for Miss Rong. Stay, and I hope that Miss Rong will not dislike her."

They are so attentive, yet they don't want to be the adoptive parents of the third son of Zong. Who would believe it, when they were in the hall just now, they belonged to the second wife's group of maids, but they also yelled that the second wife is the head of the Zong family.At this moment, I must be worried that someone from another family will come first and win Rong Lanxue's favor, so I rushed to tell the matter about the Zong family--in fact, this matter is not a secret, so I will ask patiently, and always You know, she was the first one to run here just because she thought of this point, so it's not the so-called wanting nothing.

However, for her enthusiasm, Rong Lanxue still wanted to give her a smile, and immediately ordered Yupan to come out with silver to reward her.Conch took the money, thought it was hopeful to stay, was overjoyed, thanked her repeatedly, and told Lan Xue about the customs and habits in Guangzhou.It was the first time for Rong Lanxue to return to Guangzhou since she crossed over, and she found it fresh, so she asked Yupan to move her a stool, and sat down to talk.

Conch was naturally happy, and the more he talked, the more excited he was, and he didn't quit until noon.

As soon as she left, several maidservants came one after another, belonging to different masters. They came here, just like the conch, to tell her the current situation of the clan. When Rong Lanxue asked a question, she first expressed her sincerity, saying that her master loved the third son of Zong, so he sent them here, and she definitely did not covet the position of Patriarch.

Rong Lanxue had a pleasant face, and listened carefully to what they had to say, never neglecting anyone.After listening to everyone's advice, she finally had a general understanding of the situation of the Zong family.It turned out that after the ancestor of the clan created this foundation, in order to ensure that the industry would not be dispersed after a hundred years, he left a family motto. At any time, the power of the clan was only concentrated in the hands of one person, and this person was the head of the clan. Whoever becomes the head of the family, his wife will be the head of the inner courtyard, that is to say, no matter how many people the family has or how big the family property is, they are all in the hands of the head of the family.

The head of the family has absolute control over the family. Other family members generally participate in the family business in the form of shares and receive a certain amount of bonuses as living expenses every month. If they want to personally join the family business, the head of the family must nod, Whether the position is high or low, and the length of time in office, it is the head of the family who has the final say.

As for the inner house, it is also up to the wife of the head of the house. For example, how much money should be spent on marrying a daughter-in-law, and how much dowry should be given to a daughter-in-law. Once a decision is made, they must obey it unconditionally.

Of course, since the head of the family has such great power, it is not easy to sit in this position, and one must show real talent and work hard.

In the Zong family, once every male reaches the age of 15, he must go to the head of the family to receive a sum of principal, and without resorting to any family power, leave the Zong family and go out to do business for a period of three years. , Whoever earns the most money and does the biggest business can become the candidate for the next Patriarch.During this process, it is impossible for you to cheat, because the elders of the clan will appoint special personnel to check the accounts anytime and anywhere, and if anyone is found to be cheating, he will be expelled from the clan.

And Zong Yunlong, the third son of Zong, left home to do business four years ago. Relying on his own ability, he opened his shoe store to the capital. No one can beat him, and he has become the next prospective head of the family without hesitation.

It is said that one of the most important reasons why the elders in the clan thought that he was too young to be the head of the family was that he was not yet married. Not only must he be in charge of the family business, but he must also have a virtuous housemate who manages the finances of the family. He is not yet married and has no wife. If he is the head of the family, who will take care of the affairs of the back house?Isn't it a mess?

Therefore, there was a proposal to choose a pair of "adoptive parents" for Zong Yunlong to temporarily act as the head of the family on his behalf.

Rong Lanxue finally understood why Zong Yunlong was so eager to propose marriage to her. Presumably he was very unwilling to have a pair of "adoptive parents" to take over the power that should belong to him, so he hurriedly married her. Rong Lanxue who he thinks is suitable, maybe suitable.In this regard, Rong Lanxue said that she can understand it. After all, it is easy to let go of power, but it is difficult to regain it. Who knows what will happen in the past few years when the "adoptive parents" are in charge of the family. After all, people have selfish motives.What if the "adoptive parents" refuse to let go when he is weak, and the power cannot be regained?At that time, the identities of father, son, and parents have been determined. If he tries to use force, he will be accused of unfilial piety, and he will be restrained.

Therefore, when he married Rong Lanxue, he hired a helper, and even said that his comrades who fought side by side came back. This may be the reason why he didn't disclose any information to Rong Lanxue in advance—he wanted to test Test her to see if she is qualified as his comrade in arms.
