Twins in Tibet

The day when Pei Tianhan, Xiao Xunran and the others arrived at Yin's house was February [-]th. After a night's rest, everyone's physical strength had almost recovered the next day.A few people got up late in the morning, and they finally got up around noon.

At this time, the person sent by the head of the Yin family to call them was finally able to enter the door. He first saluted Cheng Jing respectfully, and then greeted Yin Zhiyu.Then he turned around and said, "My lord, my lord has already set up a banquet in front, and he wants to welcome the lord and young master Zhiyu. I wonder if the lord can honor him?"

Cheng Jing narrowed her eyes and drank tea, thought for a while before saying, "Since Patriarch Yin is here to invite you, let's go there."

So, the five people set off in a mighty way. The reason why they are said to be five people is because Tian Qi has been hiding in the dark from the beginning.The members of the Yin family had no idea that there was another person in the dark.As for Tian Qi's lunch, it is naturally to find a way to solve it.

When we arrived at the front hall, we realized that the old man of the Yin family had invited many guests.After hearing Yin Zhiyu's soft introduction, Cheng Jing and the others realized that the people sitting in the living room were all famous people from Wangchuncheng.

"See you, my lord." About a dozen or so people hurried over to pay their respects as soon as they saw Cheng Jing and the others enter the door. Cheng Jing was not polite, and raised her hand slightly after accepting their salute: "Get up, Patriarch Yin, these people , please also introduce me, I haven’t stayed in Wangchun City for a long time, and I’m not very familiar with you, so I can’t name you, so please forgive me.”

"My lord, you're welcome. I'm here to introduce you." Patriarch Yin waved his hands quickly and said, and then began to introduce in turn: "This is Mr. Xu Maozhong from the magistrate's mansion." Xu Maozhong stepped forward to greet him. A middle-aged scholar, probably a master or an aide.

Next came Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang, Brother Zhao, and Cheng Jing didn't remember their names very well, but just roughly memorized them, as long as they matched with their surnames.After the introduction, the head of the Yin family smiled and said, "My lord must already know that the selection of the head of the Yin family will be held tomorrow, and I invited these people to be witnesses."

"Why, does Patriarch Yin think that this king will bully others, making it unfair for your Patriarch to be selected?" Cheng Jing said with a sneer.

The head of the Yin family immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, please forgive me, the little old man didn't think of this at all. The head of the Yin family has always selected these few notaries, and it hasn't changed for many years. Cao Minyan I have no intention of targeting the prince, so I ask the prince to forgive me."

Cheng Jing didn't speak, and the head of the Yin family didn't dare to speak too much. In the end, it was Yin Zhiyu who spoke: "Master, this is indeed the case. The Yin family selects the head of the family every three years, and every time they have to invite someone to be a notary People, these few have been here a few times before, and the disciples are also fortunate to have met the elders."

As soon as Yin Zhiyu said this, the others immediately started talking.

"Yes, yes, my lord, Master Zhiyu also knows about it. We come here every year. We don't specifically target the lord. The lord is holy. This has nothing to do with the owner of the Yin family." The white beard, speaking weakly, Cheng Jing doubts that he will collapse in the next quarter of an hour.

Others also started talking in a hurry, most of them were excuses for Patriarch Yin.Cheng Jing sneered, Yin Zhiyu just said that this group of people appeared a few times before, so maybe the current head of the Yin family is beneficial to them.Mutual benefit, no one in the market can't.

She didn't want to make things stand still at the beginning, Cheng Jing calmed down and said, "It seems that this king has misunderstood, please get up, Patriarch Yin." Do you want to apologize after the misunderstanding?Who said that?In this world, whoever has the most power has always had the final say. You are an ordinary businessman and ordinary person, how can you let a prince give you an apology?Even if this prince is willing to make an apology to you, do you dare to accept it?After-the-fact accounting is always the most unguardable.

"It has nothing to do with the lord, it's because the grassroots didn't make it clear that the lord will be misunderstood." Patriarch Yin hurriedly found an excuse for Cheng Jing as he stood up.Yin Zhiyan followed his father with a look of displeasure. He knew that the other party was trying to attack him, but he couldn't help it.He didn't believe at all that Yin Zhiyu hadn't told Cheng Jing about this before. The Yin family knew the rules of selecting the Patriarch.

"Okay, didn't Patriarch Yin say that this is a welcome banquet? After talking for a long time, the king is also hungry, why don't we start?" Cheng Jing raised her eyebrows and said.

The head of the Yin family quickly bent down: "They are all grassroots people who don't think carefully, please take a seat, my lord."

"Zhi Yu, sit down and start with your uncle." Cheng Jing is the lord, so naturally the lord will do his part.And Chu Tianhan and Xiao Xunran are the prince's brothers, they were not crowned kings in the Hua Kingdom, but they are also the princes of the Pei Kingdom, so they can't be negligent, so Chu Tianhan and Xiao Xunran are on Cheng Jing's side.On the other side is the head of the Yin family, he must not let him have no place to sit, he is also a landlord after all.

Yin Zhiyu and Yin Zhiyan were originally at the bottom of the table, but according to age, Yin Zhiyu was a few years younger than Yin Zhiyan, so he became the bottom of the table.At this moment, with Cheng Jing's words, Yin Zhiyu was sitting next to Li Mingyao. Above Li Mingyao were Xiao Xunran and Pei Tianhan. Yin Zhiyu suddenly became the middle seat instead of the last one.

Yin Zhiyan's face immediately changed twice. Seats are very important.At this moment, Yin Zhiyu was overtaking him, announcing clearly that the position of the head of the Yin family belonged to Yin Zhiyu.This prince definitely did it on purpose, he must have done it on purpose.His face was flushed red, and Yin Zhiyan couldn't show it yet, but he secretly gritted his teeth.

Some people ate this meal with trepidation, some resentment, some watched a play, some chuckled, and I am afraid that few people really tasted the food.Cheng Jing, Chu Tianhan and Xiao Xunran were the three who ate with peace of mind. The atmosphere on the table did not affect these three people at all.

Because there is a prince here, you can't let go of your stomach to eat at the dinner table. Except for Cheng Jing occasionally asking a few words and Yin Zhiyu answering, there is basically no sound.Even Xiao Xunran was in poor spirits, and Chu Tianhan took care of him in a muffled voice without opening his mouth.

Fortunately, there is no need to talk too much when eating. Although the atmosphere is a bit dull, it means that the mouth has more time to eat, so soon, the welcome banquet is coming to an end.

After sending Cheng Jing and the others away, the head of the Yin family finally breathed a sigh of relief.Subsequently, Xu Maozhong also left.Three out of ten notaries also left.The rest of the people moved to the study room.I'm not afraid that Cheng Jing and the others will hear anything. After all, this is the Yin family, and Cheng Jing didn't bring anyone with her when she came this time. It is probably impossible for Cheng Jing to hear about the Yin family's affairs.The head of the Yin family had a high level of confidence in his guards.

"Father, that prince is too deceitful!" Yin Zhiyan said as soon as he entered the study and closed the door, shaking his sleeves.

"Zhiyan, be patient. After three days, the position of the head of the Yin family will be yours. Even if he is a prince, he will not be able to do anything to you." The head of the Yin family said while sitting on the grand master's chair. Cheng Jing dismounted today. Yep, it's really annoying.Even if Yin Zhiyu was his apprentice, it would be too irritating to just let him point out the order of seniority and inferiority.

Yin Zhiyan was comforted by his father, and sat down angrily drinking tea.The third master Wang stroked his white beard and smiled: "Boy, it's not good to be so impatient. You are a general who guards against arrogance and impetuosity. You still have to learn from your father for a few years."

"Grandpa Wang, am I really angry?" Yin Zhiyan held a cup of tea for Third Master Wang with both hands, and approached him coquettishly and said with a smile: "With Grandpa Wang here, you don't have to worry about failing, Grandpa Wang You won’t fail by looking at Zhiyan, right?”

"You kid, you will use a set to coax you, Grandpa Wang." Third Master Wang smiled~ squinted and took the tea, lifted the lid and took a sip and said.

"That's what Grandpa Wang said in pain, that's why he dared to say that." Yin Zhiyan pinched Third Master Wang's shoulder once or twice and said, a hint of impatience flashed in his smiling eyes, but he lowered his head and drank. The Third Master Wang of the tea didn't see it at all, and of course the rest of the people didn't see it either.

Several people talked for a while in the study, and then Yin Zhiyu sent them out.

In Yin Zhiyu's courtyard, Cheng Jing asked while drinking tea: "Zhiyu, among those old guys, how many do you think are on your side?"

Yin Zhiyu thought about it for a while and shook his head: "Master, I'm afraid there isn't one. There are eight Yin family heirs participating in the selection of the head of the Yin family this time. My uncle's legitimate son Yin Zhiyan, I, my uncle's uncle's son Yin Zhiyu, and two others. Yin Zhiling from the uncle's family, Yin Zhixuan from the fourth uncle's family, Yin Zhiqing and Yin Zhishu from the fifth uncle's family, and Yin Zhiyun from the aunt's family."

"Your aunt's son can also participate?" Cheng Jing raised her eyebrows, didn't she mean the water thrown by the married daughter?

Yin Zhiyu smiled wryly: "Because Yin Zhiyun was sent by my aunt since he was a child. In name, he came to accompany my grandfather, but in fact he was waiting for this day. Yin Zhiyun was fostered under the name of his fourth uncle since he was a child, and later even under the name of his aunt." On a suggestion, Grandpa gave him the surname Yin."

Cheng Jing didn't say anything more. In a big family, this kind of thing should be common in Sikong.Even in the royal family, there will be examples of sons who love you and give them to people with greater power as adopted sons. The Yin family just has a Yin fortune, which is relatively small.

"Are you sure about tomorrow?" Changing the subject, Cheng Jing began to think about whether she should not play tomorrow, so as to save them from finding excuses to say bad things about Yin Zhiyu.

Yin Zhiyu didn't smile bitterly this time, and just rolled his eyes at Cheng Jing: "Master, it seems that you never taught me how to gamble."

Cheng Jing choked for a moment, then raised her hand and patted Yin Zhiyu's shoulder: "You boy, be polite to Master, although your Master and I have never taught you gambling skills, but Master, I have prepared two large cheating games for you." Qi, you should be content, your cousins ​​are completely on their own, and their conditions are much worse than yours."
