Chapter 63
Following Xiahou Xuefeng's words, the rest of the people looked at him with such brilliance. How could they have never thought of this question before.
Xia Houbo looked at Xiahou Xuefeng with more scrutiny in his eyes: "Sure enough, Xuefeng has grown up, and he is already capable of being on his own." Since when did his eldest grandson be so proficient in controlling human nature? up.
"Grandpa is too famous. My grandson is also the eldest grandson. If we don't learn to be more clever, our Xiahou family will be bullied miserably in the future." Xiahou Xuefeng's words were intended to remind Xiahoubo not to be the first What comes to mind is Xiahou Qianqian, who is the future heir of the Xiahou family.
Only when he is well can Xiahou's family flourish in the future. No matter how good Xiahou Qianqian is, he will eventually belong to someone else's family.
Sure enough, after listening to Xiahou Xuefeng's words, Xia Houbo's face became stiff for a moment, but he didn't say much. He didn't want to care too much about the future of Xiahou's family. What to do after the title is obtained, he can only say that those who are capable live.
Otherwise, even if they tried their best to grab the title of Marquis of Zhennan, they might not be able to hold on to it.
"You don't have to be humble anymore, the Xiahou family will depend on you in the future." Xiahoubo looked at Xiahou Xuefeng, his tone so flat that no one could hear his current emotions: "Okay, since we have a plan, then I Let’s go to the Great Elder, and you can also go to the other elders to have a look, as for what to say, I believe I don’t need to teach you.”
The next day, Xiahou Shiyi had just woken up and was having breakfast with Xiahou Qinghan when he heard the porter report that the patriarch and Xiahouzhi had brought some elders.
"What are they here for?" Xia Hou Shiyi couldn't help frowning.
"Do you want me to send someone to tell them to send them back?" Xia Hou Qinghan asked when seeing his sister frown and knew that her sister didn't want to see Xia Houzhi's family very much.
send back?
If Xia Houzhi's family was so easy to deal with, they wouldn't be staring at their fat piece of Zhennanhou's mansion at this time.Even if they are successfully sent back today, it is inevitable that they will never come again.
"No, I'll meet them with my elder brother." Xiahou Shiyi shook his head and refused, got up and pushed Xiahou Qinghan towards the front yard.When he was about to leave the door, he turned around and gave orders to Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, go and call everyone in the mansion to the front yard and wait."
"Yes." Although he didn't understand what Xia Hou Shiyi wanted to do, Lin Feng still took orders.
This is also the reason why the current Xiahou Shiyi has changed a lot. If it were the previous Xiahou Shiyi, Lin Feng would not bother to care about it.
Soon, Xiahou Shiyi pushed Xiahou Qinghan to the main hall of the front yard.
I saw this white-bearded old man sitting upright on the main seat in the hall, presumably he was the current patriarch of the Xiahou family.
At this time, he was wearing a half-new silk and satin robe, with drooping eyelids, he seemed listless and contemptuous, and he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
Sitting upright on his lower right were four old men who were also aged. Judging from their appearance, they should be the four elders of Xiahou's family.
As for the bottom left, the one sitting first is Xiahou Zhi, the one below is Zhang, and the one behind should be Xiahou Qianqian's two older brothers, Xiahou Xuefeng and Xiahou Xuelin.
The housekeeper, Lin Bo, was greeting him at the side, and there were some girls and servants standing beside him, some were from the mansion, and some were brought by Xia Houzhi and others. There were many people standing around the entire main hall, like three halls. Triage is general.
Xiahou Qingyi's eyes flickered slightly, and he put on such a big posture as soon as he came, he didn't know what kind of important thing he was going to say next.
Xiahou Shiyi sneered in his heart, did he want to suppress himself and Xiahou Qinghan in such a big battle?It's just that they seem to have chosen the wrong person.You must know that this is Zhennanhou's Mansion, which is their home. Have you ever seen someone feel uncomfortable in their own home?
Putting these aside, Xiahou Shiyi in his previous life was also a person who had seen big scenes, how could he be really frightened by this, let alone Xiahou Qinghan, it is said that he was a person who went to the Golden Temple, even more so. It is impossible to be intimidated by the battle that Xia Houbo and others put up.
As soon as Xiahou Qingyi and Xiahou Qinghan entered the door, Mrs. Zhang screamed, "Hey, you two brothers and sisters are here, please tell us to wait."
As her voice fell, everyone turned their eyes to Xiahou Shiyi and Xiahou Qinghan.
Such a neat, straight gaze would make anyone feel uncomfortable, but Xia Hou Shiyi still didn't change his face, and pushed Xia Hou Qinghan slowly towards the center of the main hall with steady steps, without seeing a single bit of it. flustered.
"Shiyi has met the patriarch, several elders, Uncle Zhi, Aunt Zhi and two elder brothers."
"Qinghan has met the patriarch, several elders, Uncle Zhi, Aunt Zhi and two elder brothers." Xiahou Qinghan and Xiahou Shiyi saluted at the same time.
At the same time, the eyes of the two of them swept over the faces of these people one by one, not missing any expressions on their faces.
Zhang looked at Xiahou Qinghan, her eyes swept over Xiahou Qinghan's legs intentionally or unintentionally: "Qinghan is now twenty-one, and he has reached the age of marriage." These words were taught by Xiahouzhi before coming here Otherwise, with Zhang's short-sighted appearance, he would never have said such a thing.
"Thank you Aunt Zhi for your concern. Qinghan doesn't want to get married yet." Although he didn't know what kind of attention Xia Houzhi's family was paying attention to, Xiahou Qinghan replied politely.
"How can this work? Now you are the only male left in your branch. How can you not rush this marriage. Hey... Speaking of which, you two, brother and sister, are also hard-pressed. You are only so young, and your parents have to leave one after another. It's gone." Zhang pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears in the corner of his eyes.
"Qinghan, Auntie heard that you found dragon tendons, but it's true."
"That's right, Xiaoyi risked her life to find it in the deep forest of the blood moon." Xiahou Qinghan and Xiahou Shiyi looked at each other, and saw the same information as themselves from each other's eyes.
"That's really great. I heard that dragon tendons have the effect of regenerating tendons and renewing bones. Now that Qinghan has dragon tendons, he has the hope of standing up." Zhang's heart was not happy, but he pretended to be happy Said.
Xiahou Shiyi looked at her and smiled faintly. "Yeah, with the dragon tendons, my elder brother's legs can be expected, but the patriarch, Uncle Zhi, Aunt Zhi and your family are disappointed." Xiahou Qinghan is inconvenient to say these words, so she, the younger sister, will do it Say.
Xiahouzhi, Xiahoubo, and Zhang's complexions suddenly became a little ugly.
Xia Houzhi said: "You girl, what are you talking about? Your eldest brother has the hope of standing up on his legs. We are too happy to be happy. How can we be disappointed?" Xia Houzhi gave Zhang a vicious look before he finished speaking. , this stupid woman who did more than fail.
Being stared at by Xia Houzhi, Zhang immediately felt aggrieved, but she couldn't say anything on such an occasion, so she could only sit in her seat and not look at Xia Houzhi, planning that even if Xia Houzhi begged her to speak, she wouldn't say anything later. Say something.
"Oh, then, Uncle Zhi, you brought a few of you here early in the morning to see if there is hope for my elder brother's legs to recover." Xiahou Shiyi still smiled, but her eyes were full of tears. Without a hint of a smile, he just looked at Xia Houzhi so firmly, as if he wanted to see through Xia Houzhi.
Xia Houzhi felt a little guilty when Xiahou Shiyi looked at him, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Besides, they didn't come here to see if Xiahou Qinghan's legs had any hope of recovery, but to force them to hand over their titles.
Although Zhennanhou's mansion is now in ruins, the accumulated contacts and so on are still enough for him to operate in the court. Even if it benefits a few elders, the rest is enough for their ancestors to be prosperous and wealthy for generations.
The Great Elder had a good relationship with Xia Houzhi's family. Seeing that both Xia Houzhi and his wife were silenced by Xia Hou Shiyi, he took the initiative to stand up and said, "Shiyi, your father died in battle, and your elder brother has become like this again. The title of Marquis of Zhennan cannot be inherited by others, so we are here today to..."
After the conversation just now, they can also see that Xiahou Qingyi almost has the final say in Zhennanhou's mansion. As for Xiahou Qinghan, according to his virtue of doting on his sister, as long as Xiahou Shiyi is settled, there will be no problem Therefore, even if the Great Elder speaks for Xia Houzhi's family, he is destined to negotiate with Xia Hou Shiyi.
"The First Elder, please be more careful. My father's whereabouts are unknown, but he was not killed in battle. Besides, my father's body was not found at the beginning." Xiahou Shiyi looked at the First Elder with cold eyes.These people finally revealed the purpose of coming here today.
"Shiyi, we know that you are a filial child and you don't want to face your father's death, but it has been three years and you still don't see your father. Do you think your father is still alive? "
Regarding Xia Houzhan's death in battle, they more or less knew the inside story. As for not seeing the body, those are all lies. Since that person has decided to take Xiahouzhan's life, how can he give Xiahouzhan Chance of survival.
Xiahou Shiyi glanced coldly at these so-called relatives, and smiled coldly: "As long as I don't see my father's body for a day, I won't admit that my father died in battle. I'm telling you, my father will definitely die." I got lost somewhere and couldn't find my way home for a while;
If you are here today to ask us brothers and sisters to hand over our titles, then please send more people out to find my father's whereabouts. Maybe you will be lucky enough to find my father's body. In that case, you Then you can get the title of Marquis of Zhennan. "
Immediately, Xia Hou Shiyi was no longer polite to these people.
