Chapter 22 Change Your Mind
Chu Zongguang was indeed very angry at Chu Xiu's confrontation with him in public, and even prepared to take away all the power from Chu Xiu and let him kneel in the ancestral hall.
However, after being angry, Chu Zongguang was surprised to find that in the current situation, the entire Chu family could not find a single person who could take care of this matter.
Chu Kai and the others were incompetent and did not dare to go, and the other branch managers of the Chu family were also the same, they did not have the courage and ability.
Chu Zongguang himself dared to go, but the problem was that once he went, the nature would change.
He, Chu Zongguang, is also the head of the family. If he has a tough attitude, he will easily tear his face off with the other party. If his attitude is weak, he will lose face to the Chu family. Therefore, it is most appropriate for Chu Xiu to do this matter.
But before Chu Zongguang could say anything, the third lady over there had already yelled at Chu Xiu: "Shang'er has already been injured like this, how do you want to punish him?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "If you are injured, you can be safe? Then this bitter trick is too easy to use."
The third lady wanted to say something else, but Chu Zongguang waved his hand impatiently and said: "Take the injured child out, and go back to recuperate well. From now on, he doesn't have to worry about all the business in the Chu family."
After finishing speaking, Chu Zongguang turned his gaze to Chu Xiu, and said with a cold snort: "From now on, the caravan will be taken care of by you, and no one can take it away. Go to the account room to get the money, and you can spend the money at your fingertips." , but don't let my Chu family suffer too much."
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Understood, my lord father, I will deal with this matter now, and I will definitely not let my Chu family suffer."
After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu turned around and left, while the others looked at Chu Xiu with a strange look.
At this time, Chu Xiu actually dared to challenge Chu Zongguang. This kind of thing was beyond the imagination of Chu Kai and others.
However, in fact Chu Xiu succeeded, which also made people see the difference between him and Chu Kai and others.
Although they were all Chu Zongguang's sons, Chu Kai and the others relied on Chu Zongguang. Without Chu Zongguang, their own abilities were limited and they couldn't make any waves.
Only Chu Xiu can not care about Chu Zongguang's attitude, because he is capable, and the Chu family needs his ability. This is the confidence that Chu Xiu dares to challenge Chu Zongguang.
Of course, Chu Xiu's move also angered Chu Zongguang. He didn't like Chu Xiu very much at first, and he probably has a worse impression of Chu Xiu now.
After all, the position of Patriarch's heir must be decided by Chu Zongguang in the end, otherwise Chu Xiu will be useless no matter how outstanding his ability is.
After leaving Chu's house, Chu Xiu rubbed his face, he found that his plan should be changed.
Before Chu Xiu was going to compete with Chu Kai and the others for the position of Patriarch's heir, Chu Xiu didn't regard the three idiots as enemies at all.
It was only now that Chu Xiu realized that his biggest enemy was not the three of them, but his cheap father, Chu Zongguang.
Chu Zongguang didn't want him to be the heir of the patriarch, so he must not be the heir.
It's just that today's incident also made Chu Xiu see something else. The Chu family is not just Chu Zongguang's Chu family. The other elders also have their own calculations in their hearts.
If he kills or abolishes Chu Kai and the three of them, then if the heir of the Chu family does not choose him, who else can he choose?
It is estimated that those elders will make him the heir for the stability of the Chu family and their own interests.
Just like today, those elders don't care whether they want to avenge Chu Shang or not, they only consider whether their own interests will be damaged along with it.
Of course, the same is true for Chu Xiu himself. The Chu family is his first stepping stone, and his first consideration is naturally his own interests.
For example, now, he is very short of cultivation resources such as Congealing Blood Pill.
The caravan and his inn and other places can bring Chu Xiu a lot of benefits, plus Chu Xiu's current status in the Chu family, how much he can say for pills like Buqi San? There are many, but the blood coagulation pill is not enough.
There are also nine grades of pills, such as Buqi powder, which can't even reach one grade, while Congealing Blood Pill is a second grade pill.
After regaining the caravan, Chu Xiu directly took the caravan to Mount Shangmang again.
He took 10,000 taels of silver from the Chu family's tent and threw it to Han Bao, which was called a condition for reconciliation between the two parties, but in fact it was Chu Xiu thanking him for helping him rob and kill Chu Shang.
Anyway, once the play is over, the Chu family's caravan can still walk freely in Shangmang Mountain, which also greatly increases Chu Xiu's prestige in the Chu family.
A month later, the inner house of the Chu family finally calmed down completely, and Chu's wounds had been abolished, because even Chu Zongguang was a little dissatisfied with him for what he caused this time, and he just came to see him twice and never again. never came.
For this situation, Chu Kai, the boss of the Chu family, is happy to see the results.
His fourth brother actually stood on the side of the third child. Now that he is useless, it is estimated that the third child Chu Sheng and the second wife have regretted that their intestines are green at this time. They spent a lot of money to win over Chu Shang's mother and son. It didn't take long before the person was useless, and the money was naturally wasted.
In fact, Chu Sheng's mother and son do feel this way now. In the courtyard, the faces of the second wife and Chu Sheng were a little gloomy. The second wife sighed and said, "It's a miscalculation. If I knew it earlier, I should have brought that Chu Xiu with me." Draw me over, now that your fourth brother is abolished, and the master hates him, he no longer has any right to speak in the Chu family, on the other hand, Chu Xiu, he is even more threatening to you than Chu Kai!"
Chu Sheng nodded and said: "Mother, I have to find a way. If this continues, Chu Xiu's prestige in the family will become higher and higher, and the power in his hands will also increase. I really have no chance at all." there is none left!"
In the past, why did Chu Sheng compete with Chu Kai for the position of the heir to the head of the family? That's because Chu Kai's own ability is not good, except that he is older and has the status of the eldest son, Chu Sheng thinks that he is not inferior to him in any way.
As a result, there is another Chu Xiu, who is not the eldest son, but is more capable than him. This is obvious to all in the Chu family. In this way, his advantage has become the one with the least.
There was a hint of coldness in the eyes of the second lady and she said: "Now that Chu Xiu is in the limelight, son, no matter how much business you hold in your hands, you can't surpass that Chu Xiu in a short time. Since you can't surpass him, Then you can only let the other party fall down."
Chu Sheng quickly asked, "Mother, what's your idea?"
The second lady shook her head and said: "I can't think of it for the time being. You know the master, he hates people making trouble for him the most, so this matter can't be done in the Chu family. I'm going to meet someone first."
Chu Sheng asked, "Who?"
"Your grandfather, Ding Kaishan!"
In Tongzhou Mansion, the Shen family, Chu family, and Li family are three deeply rooted families, but the warriors who are also prestigious and famous in this Tongzhou mansion are not limited to the heads of these three families, and Ding Kaishan is one of them.
Ding Kaishan's Kaishan martial arts gym has been opened in Tongzhou Prefecture for more than ten years. Although he is old, although he has the strength of the peak blood coagulation level, it is basically hopeless to break through the innate in this life.
However, Kaishan Martial Arts School has taught many disciples in Tongzhou Mansion for so many years. Some of these people are out in the rivers and lakes, some hang out in Tongzhou Mansion, and some directly joined the three families of Tongzhou Mansion. Relationship, Ding Kaishan can be said to be very popular in Tongzhou Prefecture, and he can eat well wherever he goes.
At this moment in the Kaishan Martial Arts Hall, Ding Kaishan was sitting and talking with the second wife.
Ding Kaishan was about sixty years old at this time, wearing a blue long robe, three long beards were carefully groomed, and his face was majestic.
The most noticeable thing is his hands, with thick joints, but delicate skin, rosy white, not like the hands of an old man at all, not even the hands of a warrior.
The second lady told Ding Kaishan all the things with a sad face, and sighed: "Father, my daughter really has no other choice, so I asked you to come here. Originally, your grandson will almost definitely inherit the Chu family in the future." The position of Patriarch, but now Chu Xiu suddenly appeared, blocking his way."
Ding Kaishan shook his head and said: "Daughter, I told you at the beginning that although Chen Fan, the concubine son of the Chen family in Ludong Mansion, is a concubine, he is tough-minded and generous, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance.
I wanted to marry you to him at the beginning, but you disliked that Chen Fan's background and insisted on marrying that Chu Zongguang.
The result now? Then Chen Fan was indeed inferior to Chu Zongguang, the innate warrior and the head of the family, but later Chen Fan was favored by the Canglan Sword Sect of our Weijun School, and was accepted as a disciple by one of the elders. Overcoming innateness, reaching the third realm of the five layers of imperial energy, and condensing the realm of the top three flowers.
Although Chen Fan's status is still lower than that of Shen Bai, who is amazingly talented and accepted as a closed disciple by the head of the Canglan Sword Sect, he can still be regarded as a direct disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect.
But look at that Chu Zongguang, when he first came to Tongzhou Mansion, he was congenital, but after more than 20 years, he is still congenital, and the Chu family is run by him half dead in his hands. It's a family business. "
The second lady also showed a trace of regret on her face, but now that so many years have passed, regret is useless.
"Father! I'm here to ask you for help. What's the use of saying this? Besides, if you have a child in the future who can inherit the Chu family, your Kaishan martial arts school will also receive the full support of the Chu family. There are famous big martial arts halls in Wei County."
Ding Kaishan rolled his eyes and said: "Forget it, the old man will not live to that day. Chu Zongguang is only in his fifties this year. With his strength, if there are no accidents, it will be no problem to live another 20 to 30 years. Wait until The son inherited the position of Patriarch, I guess the old man would have been buried long ago!
Let me think about the solution for you, so that you don't have to work hard to marry into the Chu family, but in the end you didn't get anything. "
