Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi have arrived!

Wan Jiang personally welcomed him in, which also represented the attitude of the Huo family and Zhong Yi.

The Huo family is on good terms with the second young master of the Zhong family, and even sides with Zhong Yi.

The expressions of the guests were very complicated, and all kinds of eyes fell on the couple.

"Mr. Huo, please come in. Mrs. Huo, please come in. Mr. Sun, please come in too." Wan Jiang made way for them, and everyone saw that Huo Xingzhou had brought an inconspicuous follower.

Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi were both dressed in black and looked very casual.

Qiao Xi was dressed much thicker than the female guests present. The furry cloak covered her upper body, and the dress underneath was still thick.

I heard that when opening an ancestral hall, one must first offer sacrifices to heaven outside.

In the coldest month of winter this year, a few people can withstand the low temperature outside. Those who are smart bring coats, and there are also those who want to be beautiful and save trouble, and who want style rather than warmth.

Fortunately, there should be heating inside the ancestral hall.

Just go inside.

Qiao Xi reminded softly: "Wan Jiang, go and follow your Mr. Zhong first. We can just stay by ourselves. We can't make any mistakes today. We are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. With so many people present, we might make trouble again." Something happened and ruined his plan."

"If you're considerate, I'll go over right away."

"Go."

Qiao Xi knew that Wan Jiang was loyal and had good skills.

With him by Zhong Yi's side, she would feel more at ease.

Huo Xingzhou listened to Qiao Xi's arrangement, held her hand tightly, and said in a cold voice: "You stay with me today and don't get hit by others."

"Ah."

Sun Weimeng nodded and said: "Old Chen wants to protect me today, Qiao Xi, you must follow Huo Xingzhou closely. We can't have too many bodyguards at the banquet. The Zhong family is afraid that we will cause trouble. It's a pity that we can do it without so many bodyguards." arrive."

He has a mission today.

Mr. Sun was holding a bulging men's brand-name bag in his hand.

After passing the security check, there were no dangerous items, and the Zhong family bodyguards at the door did not ask to check. After all, everyone who comes here is a guest, so they can't go too far, as long as they make sure it's not something dangerous.

But it's still a little strange for a man to come to a banquet carrying a bag.

It's ten o'clock sharp.

The Zhong family showed up.

Old Mrs. Zhong was leaning on a cane, and standing next to him was his grandson Zhong Hongfei, then Zhong Lingxiao and Zhao Shuyuan, and finally Zhong Yi.

There was also a maid supporting an outstanding-looking woman following behind them, that was the former movie queen Lin Xifei.

This family is all good-looking.

Many people commented: "The old man must be almost ninety, and his body is still so strong."

"No matter how tough you are, you should hand over the power in your hands to the next person, otherwise the Zhong family will suddenly be in chaos when things happen."

"The Zhong family all get married and have children very early, except for Zhong Lingxiao. He is over thirty and has no biological son of his own."

"Don't talk nonsense. Isn't Miss Lin pregnant? I heard that she is already three months old. It should be a sure thing."

"Hurry up and find an opportunity to show your face in front of Mr. Zhong. It will make things easier in the future."

They have different ideas, but they are basically certain that Zhong Lingxiao will take over.

After today, the situation in the Imperial Capital will change again.

Even the Pei family and the Lu family didn't have the slightest suspicion.

The old man of the Zhong family walked into the crowd and said: "Thank you all for taking the time to attend the important event of my Zhong family. Today, I invite you to join me in worshiping the heavens and opening the ancestral hall to establish the eleventh generation of the Zhong family."

"You're welcome, old man. It's our honor!"

"You have broken us!"

This old man is a symbol of success in the past era. He is respected not just because of the Zhong family.

Mr. Zhong had a smile on his lips: "Then please come and witness the important events of my Zhong family."

He walked in front.

A large group of people followed him from the banquet hall through the winding corridors to an independent and simple building. The entire ground was paved with stone slabs.

There are stone steps in front of the heavy gate. Looking up, you can see the majestic and solemn words "Zhong's Ancestral Hall".

The main door was closed at this time, and it was not yet 10:28.

Sacrifice to heaven first.

A long table and altar had already been set up outside, as well as tributes, gold paper, etc.

The housekeeper brought a basin of water and asked the old man of the Zhong family to clean his hands first. His skinny fingers were stained with water drops, and he washed them religiously.

"Ling Xiao, come forward and worship the sky with me."

"Yes."

Zhong Lingxiao walked around Zhong Yi and glanced at him with a bit of contempt.

With so many people, the old man only asked him to accompany him to worship the heaven.

This has sent out a very obvious signal, everyone understands it.

Zhong Lingxiao also washed his hands in the wash basin, then wiped the water on his hands with a clean towel, and finally stood next to the old man.

The housekeeper lit the incense candles and gave three sticks of incense to each of the old man and Zhong Lingxiao.

The two of them looked serious and worshiped respectfully.

Finally inserted the incense burner.

After a series of processes, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was completed.

No one made any noise during the whole process. Those who sat in this seat and could participate in the Zhong family's banquet believed it, and there was some awe in their hearts.

A loud gong sounded.

Ten twenty-eight!

The door of Zhong's Ancestral Hall slowly opened, and the old man held Zhong Lingxiao's hand and walked at the front.

Zhong Lingxiao looked back at Zhong Yi, who was at the back, and raised his eyebrows.

Zhong Yi, what do you want to compare with me?

Today, in full view of everyone, he is the heir chosen by the old man.

Other guests also followed into the ancestral hall, exclaiming in admiration.

The Zhong family's ancestral hall is all in perfect order, every brick, tile, plant and tree. I heard that this ancestral hall was built hundreds of years ago and is full of traces of history. There are rows of memorial tablets of ancestors in the ancestral hall, many of which include famous figures of that era.

In order to take care of the health of the guests, the heating in the ancestral hall was also turned on, but due to the ventilation everywhere, the effect was much worse.

"You all come here."

Mrs. Zhong greeted.

Zhong Lingxiao and Zhong Hongfei and his son were the first to step forward, followed by Zhao Shuyuan.

Zhong Yi fell behind.

Mr. Zhong said with a cold face: "Are you so lazy when worshiping your ancestors? Why don't you come forward?"

The tone is often accusatory.

Zhong Yi stepped forward, stood with Zhong Lingxiao and said, "I thought the old man only had big brother in his eyes and had forgotten about me, a living person."

This sour and jealous look really confirms the rumors.

The Second Young Master Zhong felt that he could not compare with the First Young Master Zhong and had already given up on himself.

Zhong Lingxiao had a gentle smile on his face: "Zhong Yi, don't imitate those young people who are annoying. The old man doesn't like to hear such words. You have to respect your elders."

"Oh."

Zhong Yi responded expressionlessly.

in the corner.

Feng Nanxi ate the small cake brought from the banquet hall in front and said vaguely: "It's so arrogant. I guess I won't be able to laugh anymore soon."

Her half-brother Feng Yunchuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said: "It's really arrogant. Zhong Yi will soon be unable to laugh. I think he is also trying to hold on."

Feng Nanxi looked down at him and said angrily: "Who said it was Zhong Yi! I said it was Zhong Lingxiao!"

"Sister, are you out of your mind? Zhong Lingxiao is the next person in charge of the Zhong family."

"Everyone is drunk and I am alone. You are a fool who can't help me. Don't disturb me watching the show. I bet five million."

Five million bets will make you the final winner!

Upon hearing this, Feng Yunchuan said: "You are crazy! Five million is wasted! Do you really think there is a miracle?"

Feng Nanxi glanced at him with pity, and then looked away. There were only two people betting on Zhong Yisheng, and the odds were nine to one.

I don’t know who the other person is who is so discerning!
