Three hundred and fiftieth eight chapters: when the break is broken
Zheng Yue looked at Zheng Lushan quietly and said nothing.
"That's it for today. Yue'er, you need to rest when you come back now, so we won't bother you any more. When the head of the family comes back, I will come again to discuss the matter of the heir."
Zheng Lushan did not delay, and after saying a word, he led everyone away directly.
Before leaving, Zheng Li turned his head and took a deep look at Zheng Yue. As for the meaning, only he and he knew.
It wasn't until the sound of horse hooves outside the door faded away and the other party really left, that the people here breathed a sigh of relief. The other party seemed to have chosen the time when the main man of the house was not around to come and press hard. If Zheng Yue hadn't arrived in time, he would have made a big show. Divine power, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Come here, put on a banquet and welcome the young master!"
The middle-aged man was extremely happy at this moment. Zheng Yue arrived in time and showed off his majesty, which greatly dampened the opponent's arrogance and made him feel really proud.
"Come on, Shen Li, the scene just now was too chaotic. Now I'll give you a good introduction."
Zheng Yue pulled Shen Li to his side, pointed at the middle-aged man opposite, and introduced: "This is my fourth uncle Zheng Yunhe, who holds the financial power of our Zheng family."
"Fourth uncle, this is my friend, Shen Li."
"Shen Li is polite." Shen Li smiled and cupped his hands as a courtesy.
"Okay." It might be that Shen Li couldn't help but encourage Zheng Yue before, so Zheng Yunhe really didn't have a good impression of Shen Li. In addition, Shen Li always looked lazy, without any aura of a strong man, so Zheng Yunhe really didn't want to talk. , just responded lightly.
"Where is Mr. Shen from?" Zheng Yunhe was a member of the family after all, so he couldn't lose his etiquette, so he asked symbolically casually.
"Prince Taibai." Shen Li said.
"Oh, okay." This time, Zheng Yunhe was even more uninterested, not because he was snobbish, but because for a senior member of such a big family, there was really nothing he could value about a person from a subordinate royal territory.
Shen Li didn't care either. In fact, it was his own fault. Since he arrived, except for a few words of encouragement from Zheng Yue, he spent the rest of the time looking around in boredom with a lazy expression. It's no wonder that others didn't care about him.
"cough...."
Zheng Yue coughed awkwardly, and then took Shen Li to continue the introduction, introducing some of the elders in the family.
In the evening, the Zheng family held a banquet to welcome Zheng Yue.
After all, the Zheng family is a famous family. At this time, Shen Li really saw the style of everyone. The hall was magnificent and magnificent, and rows of maids and servants filed in, bringing rare dishes and fine wines. , put down the table, and just put down a banquet, which took nearly an hour.
At the beginning of the banquet, there were thirty or forty people seated, all direct descendants of the Zheng family. Zheng Yue was very busy during the banquet. Others came to propose a toast. Zheng Yue had shown his great power before and made rapid progress in his cultivation. Everyone was attracted by it. Surprisingly, it is normal to be treated like this.
But Shen Li seemed a little bored, and no one knew him, so he was just pouring and drinking by himself. But then again, the wine at this banquet was really good wine, and it was Shen Li's only pleasure.
It was already late at night when the banquet ended, and Shen and Li went directly to rest. After a few days of tossing, they were already very tired, and they slept until noon the next day.
In the next few days, Zheng Yue was very busy, dealing with family affairs. Later, he probably felt sorry for Shen Li who came all the way, so he went out with Shen Li from time to time.
After playing for a few days, Shen Li really saw the scenery of Jizhou. It was full of green mountains and green waters, and it was so beautiful that it made people enchanted.
For so many years, Shen Li was either in the Taibai Kingdom or practicing day and night at Xiaoyao Sect. Suddenly he saw such a beautiful scenery, and he really felt a little happy and reluctant to miss Shu.
So Shen Li's previous depression was swept away. This time he went out, even if it was for no other reason than just looking at the scenery was great. It made Shen Li's heart, which had gradually become a little gloomy due to pressure and killings, become clear again.
One day, Zheng Yue took Shen Li to the main hall of the mansion. It turned out that his father and grandfather had returned to Jizhou.
Zheng Yue's father, Zheng Yuntian, was a middle-aged man with a slender forehead and a tiger beard. He was a general in the imperial court. He fought abroad all year round and made great achievements in battle.
At the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, his strength was almost the same as Shen Li's, but the fierce and tragic aura he brought back from the battlefield made Shen Li feel quite frustrated.
And Zheng Yue's grandfather, Zheng Xiao, who is now the head of the Zheng family, has an extraordinary temperament. Although he is already seventy years old, he is full of energy and has a pair of eyes as bright as stars.
"Young man, not bad."
Zheng Xiao was the only person in the Zheng family who looked up to Shen Li when he first met him.
"The head of the family is making ridiculous compliments, and Shen Li doesn't dare to take it seriously."
Shen Li smiled slightly and said modestly.
"Haha, young people know how to be humble, that's great, Yue'er, you are lucky to have such a friend." Zheng Xiao said with a smile.
"That's what grandpa said." Zheng Yue responded with a smile.
"Father, I don't know what to do with this heir..."
Zheng Yuntian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke in a low tone.
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became serious. Zheng Yue also raised his head and looked at Zheng Xiao. In their lineage, Zheng Xiao was the absolute backbone.
"Lushan and the others are pushing too hard. They are very ambitious. They will not give up until Zheng Li is elected as their heir." Zheng Xiao sighed.
"Although Wen Tao, Zheng Li's son, is good at martial arts, his temperament is too sinister and vicious, and he is narrow-minded, so he is not suitable for the position of head of the family." Zheng Yuntian said.
"I think so too. His ambitions are too great. Although it is a good thing to be enterprising, you must also keep a steady pace and act within your capabilities. If he becomes the head of the family, the Zheng family may become the target of public criticism. At that time, the thousand-year-old foundation will be destroyed. Once." Zheng Xiao said.
"Since you two are interested, we should make Zheng Yue the heir and make him the head of the family. He is much more reliable than those two people." Shen Li said.
"This is natural, but how easy is it to make Zheng Yue's dream come true? You have been here for so long, and you should be familiar with the current situation at home. The two parties are in trouble over this matter, and even have to fight. In such a situation That's what I don't want to see, and that's why I haven't decided on a successor yet." Zheng Xiao said.
"Master, although I am an outsider, Zheng Yue is my friend. I can't help but say something. As the saying goes, when it is broken, it is broken. Some things have to be faced sooner or later. As the head of the Zheng family, in this world, After decades of ups and downs, you must know these things better than me?" Shen Li said.
Zheng Xiao turned around, glanced at Shen Li in surprise, and then suddenly laughed, with bright eyes: "What a young man. If this is the case, then I don't need to be merciful anymore. This matter should be resolved."
