In recent years, the prosperity of coal has driven commercial prosperity, and the originally native Linfen City has become colorful.

When I came here a year ago, many people built houses on the way. Today, I have the feeling of déjà vu.

After leaving the train station, I looked around and was confused.

Zhu Xinning only said that he would take charge of the coal mine, but he did not leave any arrangements. Even Zhu Xi was not in Linfen and went to 301 Hospital to take care of Brother Zhu.

"Where are we going?" Chen Lianwei asked.

"Let's go to the Zhu family's ancient house first." Zhang Shang thought for a while and said.

In fact, he had no plan, so he could only take one step at a time. He didn't even know where the 32 mines in Zhu Xinning were distributed, so he should ask someone first.

...

At this moment, the ancient Zhu family house is very lively and crowded, like a tourist attraction open, allowing everyone to visit.

When news of Zhu Xinning's assassination yesterday spread, his brothers, sisters, nephews and nephews all moved and rushed to the ancient house as soon as possible, and the five countries were responsible for the kingdoms and occupied the central palace.

The six brothers and sisters are ranked according to "Fu, Lu, Longevity, Health and Peace", the fourth and fifth are sisters, and the Zhu Ge is the youngest.

Along with the younger generation below, this big family member is having a meeting.

The eldest son Zhu Xinfu is 75 years old this year. His parents left early, and almost all these younger siblings were raised by him. In that era, it seemed that the eldest son was like this and the responsibility was heavy.

On the Eight Immortals table, he sat in the main seat, while the rest of them sat in scattered positions.

And those younger generations, looking here and then, were curious about the antiques in this room.

The children all surrounded the incense burner, dug it and played with the incense ash inside as sand, and played all over the floor until the elders scolded him.

If you have some insights, you will know that this incense burner is a real "national treasure". It is said that Zhu Xinning bought it from a large price from a foreigner.

The third brother Zhu Xinshou was playing with the tea set on the table and couldn't let it go.

I subconsciously thought that Zhu Xinning's tea was definitely something like Dahongpao, so I didn't even think about it and made a pot for myself first.

As a result, I said, "Bao, Baa, Baa, Baa..." I was about to spit out my bitter gill.

It took me a little while to recover and complained incrediblely: "The youngest's taste is so damn evil..."

The second son Zhu Xinlu smiled sarcastically and cursed him secretly. How can you understand the hobbies of rich people?

Then he said, "Brother, the youngest was killed this time. Do you think he is not saved? What should everyone do if he is not saved?"

"Yes, yes." Everyone talked together, each with their own thoughts.

"Not saved?" The boss Zhu Xinfu pondered for a momentum, with a clan leader's aura, "Then wait for Zhu Xi to come back to take over."

"Zhu Xi?" The third brother vomited the bitter taste in his mouth, "She is a girl, so she is not as capable as managing this big business. She will get married sooner or later. This foundation has been built by the youngest, so how can she be cheaper for outsiders?"

"Didn't the youngest designate someone named Zhang Shang to take over?" asked the boss.

"I haven't heard of it." The brother and sister looked at each other and said unanimously: "I haven't seen it before, I don't know this person."

We do not recognize him as the implication.

"I heard that he is Zhu Xi's object?" Wu Mei asked jokingly: "Is there any origin?"

"Come?" The second son sneered, "If you have a background, you haven't married Zhu Xi, you're just a partner. Now these young people change their partners every now and then. What's the point?"

"That's the reason." said the fourth sister.

Then, the boss smiled and the family reached a consensus.

...

In the deep mansion, big red lanterns are hung high, full of ancient style.

Zhang Shang and Chen Lianwei got out of the taxi and saw seven or eight cars parked at the door of the ancient house...

When I arrived at Zhu Hong's gate, there was a guard standing guard. I saw him when I came last time and was considered an acquaintance.

"Please show your ID card." Said meticulously.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shang twitched his eyes and obediently took out his ID card to hand it over. He thought to himself, is he going to give me a warning?

"Please come in." The guard looked, made a gesture of asking for help, then raised his chest and continued to stand guard.

After passing two doors, there were guards again. When he saw him coming in, he still ignored him and did not talk to him, just like receiving a stranger.

Zhang Shang frowned, feeling like he was being roasted on fire.

Even Zhu Xinning’s confidants didn’t recognize him. It was hard to imagine what kind of treatment would be for inspecting a coal mine?

Walking further inside, there was a silhouette and the living room door was open. Five people who looked very similar to Brother Zhu were gathering around to talk about something.

A stranger appears, and a large family member focuses his eyes.

He touched his nose a little awkwardly, and Zhang Shang said, "Hello everyone..."

"How did you come in?" The eldest and his brothers and sisters looked at each other and said they didn't know this person.

"You're here." Then he said politely to the guard next to him: "Please arrange the room for us both, thank you."

The guard was stunned and struggled for a moment. Do you listen to him or not?

Finally, probably out of politeness, people said thank you, but they were always reluctant to ignore it, so they took Zhang Shang and Chen Lianwei's suitcase and left.

This situation made the people in the room squint.

They drove by themselves when they came. There was a parking garage in the ancient house. They used to be in the parking garage, but this time they ignored it. You like to stop and keep stopping. If the master is not here, it would be very polite to let you enter the door...

In the end, there was no choice but to park their cars on the street.

Ignoring them, but paying attention to this young man, Zhu Xinfu, a man who was a mature man, thought for a while, blurted out, "Are you Zhang Shang?"

"Do you know me?"

He walked into the house with a smile and saw the ashes of incense burners spread all over the floor. He found a broom and dustpan from the corner of the wall and swept up the ashes.

There is an exquisite square box on the cabinet behind the incense burner. Open it and there is sandalwood powder inside. Put a spoonful of them in a small spoon, pour it on the container inside the incense burner, lit it, and cover the stove cover. There is a pleasant smell and a scent.

Everyone just stared blankly, and in an instant, there was an illusion that it seemed that they were the owner of the house, and their relatives of Zhu Xinning became guests.

The faces of the brother and sister changed slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable and restless.

"Young man, are you very familiar with this place?" the boss asked tentatively.

"Well, I'm quite familiar, just like my own." In fact, he has only been here once...

The reason why I know how to do the incense burner was that I asked when I called Zhu Xi. After all, people are curious about this kind of antique national treasure or the legendary incense burner.

Of course, I need to know how the smoke comes out and what it is burning inside.

"Are you and Zhu Xi's partner?" someone asked again.

This question is a bit difficult... He and Zhu Xi have never made a clear confession, so they can only be considered ambiguous.

If you admit to having a partner with Zhu Xi, it would be great. All the elders here are all elders who rely on their seniority to be old. You should be the ones who should be too big or small, and disrespect the elders.

If you don’t admit that you are the target, it’s better to just drive you out.

This is a confrontation of wisdom, and there is endless fun to fight with others.

Zhang Shang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Zhu Xi and I are secondary. We mainly have a good relationship with Brother Zhu. He saved my life. I have come up with an idea for him. We are brothers, so after something happened, he asked me to take over the business."

Then he took the initiative and asked with a smile: "You guys have no objection, right?"

"Himmer..." The third brother was drinking water with a teacup and choked directly.

The brother and sister looked at each other, how should we answer this?

The boss was about to speak, but Zhang Shang muttered first: "It's useless for you to have opinions. Since ancient times, brothers and sisters have to separate their families when they get married. You have your children, and Brother Zhu has a life of Brother Zhu. If something happens to him, you should go to the 301 Hospital to take care of him and fulfill your responsibilities as your relatives. Why do you do this?"

He paused and said, "Wait for the separation?"

If you say this, let alone those on the table, even those younger generations, who understand the world, have changed their faces.

Some things can only be said privately, just know them in your heart, but once they are exposed to the surface, their faces will be bad.

Brother Pig is not dead yet, you can do this, you have to be more shameful.

"Young man, don't talk nonsense." The second brother was anxious and stood up. "We brother and sister are related by blood, breaking bones and tendons. We are a family. What are you trying to blame us?"

"That's it!" said the fifth sister, "Don't say that you haven't married Zhu Xi yet, even if you get married, you are still a son-in-law and an outsider. It's not your turn to talk to this family."

"Break the bones and tendons?" Zhang Shang asked, "Then go and talk to Brother Zhu, why don't he let you take over the industry when he is unconscious?"

He looked at Wu Mei again and said, "I am an outsider?"

"Then why don't you marry Zhu Xi?"

"You try to be a husband and wife with her?"

"You're going to try your name Zhu Xinning's father?"

"Do you think Zhu Xi listens to me or to you?"

"Do you think something happened to the business, will Brother Zhu discuss with me or discuss it with you?"

Zhang Shang asked a series of questions, which made everyone confused. When it comes to talking, the group of people did not respond quickly.

At this time, classmate Zhang was glad. Thanks to his two-month-old teahouse servant in Tianjin, he had trained such a verbal trick, otherwise he would have been driven out today.
