Chapter 101 The Four Brothers of the Jing Family
As night falls, the lights in Jingyuan are just coming, as white as day.
The servants kept coming and going. The monthly family banquet was the busiest time for the servants of the Jing family. The three housekeepers were coordinating the operations of various departments. Once an accident occurred, they immediately used backup plans to remedy them. Everyone was so busy that they had no time to rest.
The people of the Jing family were scattered around Jingyuan and chatting casually. The Jing family naturally had many small circles. Young people gathered together to comment on the quality of the new girl in the golden pot of the Xiangxue Sea. Middle-aged people complimented each other in three or three to win over their feelings, while the elderly talked about health and descendants.
The most eye-catching one on the field is naturally the two heirs, Jing Zhengwu, the second prince and Jing Zhengtang.
Jing Zhengwu is already in charge of part of the Jing family's industry. Many tribesmen present can be said to rely on him to survive, so they naturally praised him and please him, not to mention that Jing Zhengwu's fiancé Qin Yueshi is a third lady from the top ten major chamber of commerce players in the Silver Blood Society.
Unlike the Jing family, which is now in a turbulent wave, although the Qin family is slightly inferior to the Jing family, the head of the Qin family is in his prime. The three brothers and sisters of Qin Leyin, Qin Yueyang, and Qin Yuesi are all famous prides of heaven among the young generation. The combination of Jing Zhengwu and Qin Yuesi can be regarded as a precursor to the asset recombination of the two major companies.
Many old people have been convinced that when Jing Zhengwu took office as the head of the family, the next step is to fully cooperate with the two chambers of commerce of Jingqin. By then, they will surely seize more markets and obtain more profits, and ordinary people will also benefit greatly.
There are many people who flatter Jing Zhengtang. Although compared with Jing Zhengwu, who is wise and versatile, this Jing San brother seems quite "honest" - he is not good at socializing, and his personality can even be said to be weak, which may have a lot to do with his mother's background in Xiaoshang.
But when Jing Zhengtang took over the family business, his career made rapid progress and took care of many tribe members. The clan elders praised him very much. After all, what the merchant family values most is the ability to make money.
Jing Zhengtang is naturally not a business genius. His achievements all come from the woman in blue standing beside him - Fei Wei. It can be seen from her name that she is a servant without a surname. She was bought by the Jing family as a servant when she was very young.
Because of his same age, Jing Zhengtang played with Feiwei since he was a child. Later, Feiwei became his exclusive maid. It was natural to have a relationship over time. Jing Zhengtang boldly announced to the head of the family’s father at a family banquet that he would marry Feiwei.
There is no doubt that his speech caused a stir, and countless tribesmen expressed opposition, and some tribe elders even suggested that Jing Zhengtang's heir rights be cancelled.
Although with the current status of the Jing family, marriage is better and better, and it doesn’t matter if it is not married. Almost all the wives of the head of the Jing family are not daughters of the Chamber of Commerce, it’s different to marry a slave - embarrassing!
Many people advise Jing Zhengtang that Feiwei can be a side room or a concubine. As long as you have this kind of heart, why bother to marry a wife? But Jing Zhengtang is not. It is so stubborn that it makes people wonder if his mother cheated on her - how can the descendants of the Jing family be like this?
In the end, the head of the Jing family obeyed all the dissatisfaction and gave Jing Zhengtang an errand to him. The implication was: If you do well, you have the right to decide for yourself; but if you do not do well and have to fight against the opinions of the tribe, you deserve to lose the qualification to be a heir.
As a result, Jing Zhengtang was very successful. With Feiwei's help, they made their business better and better, and the tribesmen immediately had no objection.
Face or money? It’s so easy to choose for the normal Jing family.
By the way, Jing Zhengtang is the only person with good reputation in the Jing family. Most people in Xuanzhu County have heard of his deeds. Therefore, Jing Zhengtang's connections are getting better and better, and his business is getting bigger and bigger. This is actually easy to understand-
If you were a businessman, would you like to cooperate with an honest and weak young man, or with a cunning colleague?
If you were a worker, would you want to be a kind and kind boss or a cunning boss?
If you are a consumer, would you go to a store where the boss treats people with good quality with sincerity, or go to a store where the cunning ones are?
Even within the Jing family, the people who support Jing Zhengtang are no less than Jing Zhengwu.
Of course, Jing Zhengwu's rise to power means a bright future, but no matter how good the family develops, what the clan members want depends on whether Jing Zhengwu is willing to give it to him. They are passive.
But Jing Zhengtang's rise to power means "controllability". Such an honest and soft-hearted head of the family will definitely get whatever the clan members want, and they are taking the initiative.
Compared with the two, the ambitious tribe members naturally supported the second young master, and the third young master standing by whom he wanted to live a life of silence.
Although the decision-making power is still in the hands of the head of the family, the intentions of the tribesmen are also very important and critical factors.
——Especially after the head of the family loses its ability to judge, the tribesmen can even directly elect the next head of the family.
However, on the surface, everyone was still in harmony. Needless to say, Jing Zhengwu said, "Third Brother" and "Brother" on the left, always reminding the status between the two of them; Jing Zhengtang honestly agreed, unless Fei Wei bit his ears, he was silent all the time.
When the sound of the golden bell rang through Jingyuan, everyone knew that the banquet was about to officially begin, so they went to the 'Huifu Hall'. When they walked to the door of Huifu Hall, they found that there was a person sitting on the main table. Many people changed their faces. A clan boss shouted loudly and said, "Jing Zhengfeng, why are you sitting here for??"
Sitting at the main table, but not dressed like a nobleman, but instead, a man in black put his legs on the dining table. The servants stood beside him with a worried look on his face, as if they wanted to persuade him, but they did not dare to do it.
He snorted coldly: "What are you doing? Waiting for dinner, why are you here in the dining room not to eat, but to shit?"
"you--"
Jing Zhengwu stopped the clan elder from getting angry and looked at the man in black gently: "Long time no see, fourth brother."
"I can't afford to accept this title, Master Jing Er." The man in black sneered.
This rampant and rude man is naturally the fourth young master of the Jing family, Jing Zhengfeng, or the wild breeder left behind by the head of the Jing family. His appearance is similar to Jing Zhengwu and others, but his eyebrows and eyes are full of evil spirits. At first glance, he is a fierce man who has been struggling from the bottom for many years.
Jing Zhengwu said: "A family banquet can be visited by anyone from the Jing family. But since my father recognized the fourth brother three years ago, you have never been to the inner banquet in these years. So I was a little curious about my brother. Could it be that the fourth brother is finally willing to return to the family? It's so great that our brothers work together to cut off gold, and the Jing family will surely flourish."
Jing Zhengfeng sneered, dug his ears, and said, "It sounds so nice, so touching. I cried. Where are you?"
He spat, "I called me here, otherwise I wouldn't bother to come here to see you beasts in dress. Don't talk to me, I don't want to vomit here."
What else do the others want to say? Jing Zhengwu looked back at them and said, "Since that's the case, then the fourth brother will do it yourself. Everyone else can take their seats."
"But he put the tripod on the dining table..."
Jing Zhengwu glanced at Jing Zhengfeng, frowned slightly, and asked, "Who is responsible for Huifu Hall?"
"Yes, it's me, deacon Kang Zhi." A middle-aged servant walked to Jing Zhengwu with cold sweat on his face and apologized: "I have tried my best to persuade the Fourth Young Master, but..."
"You can't even do such a small thing well. Is your mouth a decoration?" Jing Zhengwu said calmly: "Go to the side and slap your mouth harder. When the Fourth Young Master can hear your 'persuasion' and are willing to put your feet down, then you will stop."
Kang Zhi turned pale, but he still focused his attention, "Yes!"
After saying that, he stood outside the door and slapped himself in the mouth.
Seeing this, Jing Zhengfeng sneered: "Funny, Second Young Master, if you like to punish your subordinates, you should punish your subordinates, don't touch me. Do you think this will make me a villain? It's just that you are full of bad water and ugly."
Jing Zhengwu was not affected by him at all. He smiled and sat down on the other side of the main table with a graceful look. Others also took their seats. Although it was not time to serve food and eat, drinking and laughing were still possible. For a while, Huifu Hall was very lively.
Kang Zhi slapped himself in the mouth outside. Although no one looked at him, he was getting stronger and stronger. Soon he was covered in blood. At this time, he heard footsteps, turned his head and looked, and bowed subconsciously, "I've seen the eldest son!"
"What are you doing here?" The eldest son seemed puzzled.
Kang Zhi briefly talked about what happened in Huifu Hall just now. The eldest son looked at Huifu Hall and said oh, "Then you continue, don't disturb you."
Kang Zhi never expected the eldest son to speak for him, so he continued to slap himself in the mouth.
When Leyu walked into Huifu Hall, everyone stood up and greeted: "I have seen the eldest son!"
Although no one is optimistic about Jing Zhengwei becoming the head of the family, no matter what, the respect on the surface must be given sufficient - after all, the internal struggle between the four brothers of the Jing family is their main lineage. If other tribes dare to take the initiative and get involved, it will inevitably leave a thorn in the heart of the winner: I didn't even give you instructions, you dare to bully my brother. Then, if I have a son in the future, will you also change your mind to bully my son?
"Good evening everyone." Leyu responded calmly and led Qinglan to the main table.
There are so many people in the Jing family, and there are ten tables in Huifu Hall, but only the main line can be seated at the main table, such as the four brothers of the Jing family, such as the concubines, and several respected clan elders.
Now the main table is almost full of people, with only two seats left, just enough for Leyu and Qinglan.
but……
Jing Zhengwu said: "Brother, my fourth brother is here today. We have specially reserved a place for you to let you have a good relationship with me."
Jing Zhengfeng glanced at Leyu, then closed his eyes and rested, as if he really didn't want to talk to them.
Le Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Brother, you think so thoughtfully, this happens to be what I want."
Jing Zhengtang couldn't help but stand up at this time: "Brother, I might as well sit over. Actually, I am quite familiar with the fourth brother-"
“No need.”
Leyu walked to the back of the seat, glanced at Jing Zhengfeng's feet on the dining table, and said casually: "Put down your feet."
The noise in Huifu Hall suddenly became quiet.
Jing Zhengwu still kept a sunny smile and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Jing Zhengtang looked a little anxious, but Fei Wei grabbed his hand and he didn't move any more.
Jing Zhengfeng still closed his eyes, his body was not moving, and he seemed to hear nothing.
"Put down your feet." Yueyu said again.
Some smiles came from Huifu Hall.
Everyone feels that the eldest son will not be able to get out of office this time.
But this time Jing Zhengfeng was moved.
He also put his other leg on, and although he still closed his eyes and did not speak, his movements were enough to make everyone understand his mockery.
Leyu sighed, leaned down slightly, as if he wanted to lower his head and talk to Jing Zhengfeng: "I'll say it again last..."
He inserted his right hand into his pants pocket and took out an item that reflected the metal matte from his pants!
"Put your feet-"
Leyu suddenly quickly took out the short-barrel shotgun and pointed it at Jing Zhengfeng's legs and pulled the trigger-
"Let it go!"
Bang!
