At this time, Mrs. Mo was talking to an old man with white hair.

It is none other than Zhou Rong, the current patriarch of the Zhou clan.

Zhou Rong took a sip of hot tea to dissipate some of the cold air on the road.

Mrs. Mo didn't say anything, she just stood back and sipped her tea. There was no trace of sadness, indignation or sadness on her face, just a look of leisure.

Zhou Rong glanced at her and had to sigh in his heart.

Yancheng is such a good wife!

At that time, there were many people in the clan who opposed it. They felt that it would not be helpful for the dignified prince to marry a woman from an ordinary family. I don't know what they thought. It was really inappropriate.

They thought it was because Yancheng was young and energetic and was determined to have her own way. It was not until later that they discovered that this woman was indeed qualified to be the hostess of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion and worthy of the position of Madam Hou.

Especially after her husband passed away, she gritted her teeth and shouldered the heavy burden of Zhenxi Houfu. Nothing major happened here.

Although he had the final say on all matters in the clan from then on, he always wrote to Mo to inform him, including today's situation, which was also given by Mo in private.

However, after being the patriarch of the clan for decades, he was unwilling to accept that the family tree had to be cut off in this generation to branch out and continue.

Zhou Rong drank the tea to the bottom, and Mrs. Mo personally held up the teapot to refill it for him.

As the water vapor rose, Zhou Rong finally couldn't help but ask: "Are we really going to go to this point?"

"You know, if I agree with the clan elders, the Zhou family will have to change its name in the future. People will no longer think that we are the same family. We will only be called the Zhou family on East Street, the Zhou family on West Street, and the Zhou family on Nancheng Lane. After a family...is torn apart, it’s hard to bring people together.”

Mrs. Mo smiled lightly and asked, "After this incident, do you think the Zhou family is still united?"

Zhou Rong was silent.

Although there is no loose sand, in recent years it has almost begun to snow in front of the door.

Sometimes, the patriarch of the clan is not very good at speaking.

Mrs. Mo added more fuel to the fire, "If we were really united as one, you wouldn't be so anxious looking for me at this time?"

"But it's really a big deal..."

"Trees have large branches. Some like shade and like to grow alone in a corner. Others like sunshine. They like to extend their branches and leaves outside no matter what... Either they grow stronger and stronger, or they are loved by others. From now on, it’s all your own choice.”

Zhou Rong sighed, "I know this. I'm not afraid that it will be difficult to face my ancestors in the future. It's so ugly for a big family to make such trouble."

Mrs. Mo didn't take it seriously.

Pointing to the loquat tree in the yard, he said: "Look, this loquat tree grows well. Even in winter, the leaves are green, and the fruits in summer are also very sweet."

Following her gaze, Zhou Rong saw the sturdy loquat tree with a huge crown, which was indeed impressive.

It's just that... you can see traces of cutting on the side closer to the outside of the wall.

"Look, even though the loquat tree bears such good fruit, Butler Zhou still thinks that it always sticks its branches and leaves outside the wall and is unsightly. He almost uprooted it and planted another one."

"If I hadn't stopped them, these trees would have been replaced by a crabapple."

Zhou Rong's eyes flickered, and he finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell the clan elders when I get back. However, it will take time, and you know that those old-fashioned people are not as good as me."

Seeing that he finally nodded, Mrs. Mo felt relieved and said with a smile: "So they are the clan elders, and you are the clan leader. Most of the Zhou clan are smart, and they know that under the current situation... I Zhenxi The Marquis Mansion is in danger, so why not just borrow the donkey from the slope?"

Zhou Rong's expression changed, and he smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that everyone is ungrateful, but you also know that there will be more heirs in the next life, and there will be more voices...

Just like this kind of seed, they are almost the same when they are born, but how they grow depends on their own abilities. "

Mrs. Mo nodded, "You and I both understand. The current separation and reunification are just for the future.

Love cannot be explained clearly by writing on a family tree. "

Zhou Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

With this assurance, he felt relieved.

What he said before was just a pretext. The purpose of his coming here today was for this sentence.

With this sentence in mind, if the Zhenxihou Mansion can rise in the future, the Zhou family will still be able to take care of it.

If the Zhenxihou Mansion fails to rise, they will even have their family tree separated, and there will be one less person involved.

Although Mrs. Mo took the initiative, in fact, they agreed without caring about their past friendship.

In the final analysis, it is the Zhou clan that cannot stand up to the Zhenxihou Mansion.

I want to take advantage, but I am afraid that the building will collapse.

What is even more greedy is that when the overall situation has been decided, they will continue to have relatives and friends.

Such behavior is no different from that of villains.

However, there is no other way.

Thinking of this, Zhou Rong, who was over seventy years old, stood up, bowed to Mrs. Mo, and solemnly said: "Thank you, Mrs. Mo."

Mrs. Mo accepted it calmly.

"Let the gossip outside spread, no need to block it."

......

Yunling sat in the teahouse until late.

After the business at Hongsheng Restaurant was almost busy, he slowly walked into the lobby with others.

The waiter who was cleaning the table hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Please sit down, gentlemen, but what would you like to order?"

"How many special dishes does your store have?"

"Braised lion's head, steamed sea bass, lotus leaf beggar's chicken, soybean pig's trotters, braised pork ribs, vinegar tenderloin, sauce duck..."

The waiter reported several dish names in succession.

Although it is very common, it is also a dish available in most restaurants in Dongrui Kingdom.

Well, mediocre and invincible, but also quite satisfactory.

"Then we'll serve these together, and we'll also serve three seasonal vegetables." Yunling said.

The waiter looked at the four of them in embarrassment and said, "Miss, you are only four of us. If you order so many, you may not be able to finish them all..."

Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in blue from behind shouted coldly: "Zhao Erfei, haven't you heard what the guests have told you? Why don't you go to the kitchen and say something."

The waiter turned pale with fright and ran to the kitchen on the spot.

He saw that Shopkeeper Wang had gone to take a nap, so he warned him, but he didn't expect that Shopkeeper Wang would come to the lobby again just now and be caught red-handed.

When I think about my small monthly payment, half of it will be deducted again.

Zhao Erfei felt regretful for being too talkative. He would have stared at the door clearly before speaking.

Shopkeeper Wang didn't take the initiative to come forward. He just let other waiters greet Yunling and the others while he sat behind the counter in a daze.

Years ago, I suddenly received news from the Hou Mansion, saying that the store had been sold to someone else, and someone would take over when it opened after the year. When the time came, he was asked to cooperate, and all the account books were suddenly taken away.

Those account books, those who don’t know how to do it will only think they are perfect, but if you know how to do it...

Many days have passed and this person has not come...

He was a little apprehensive.
