Chapter 228

In the end, no one in the whole hall dared to go out to meet him.

Chu Guoliang and Chu Tian finally entered the hall under the leadership of the housekeeper.

When the three entered the door, their eyes in the lobby were almost projected in the past.

One of them is from Xu Lifang, wife of the state of Chu. It is especially sharp and sharp as a knife.

With a smile on his face, Chu Guoliang walks all the way through the gate and finally stops in front of Chu Guoming, Chu Guodong and Xu Lifang.

"Brother, sister-in-law, third brother, long time no see!"

Chu Guoliang said hello.

"Long time no see, second brother!" Chu Guoming and Chu Guodong also said hello with a smile.

"Ha ha, after so many years, you still know how to come back!" Even if Xu Guoliang's face is sour, her face is still not good.

Chu Guoliang was embarrassed when he heard the speech, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only change the topic.

"Xiaotian, this is your uncle, this is your aunt, this is your third uncle..."

Chu Guoliang introduced one by one, and Chu Tian responded one by one.

But after the introduction, there is basically no following.

If you are away from home for such a long time, even if you are relatives at home, the relationship will become very weak. So when Chu Guoliang arrives, the hall becomes more silent.

Xu Lifang doesn't want to talk, while others, who don't know what to talk about, dare not.

"Elder brother, how is father's health? I want to take Xiaotian to see his old man first. Is it ok now?"

Since there is nothing to say, Chu Guoliang doesn't want to stay in the lobby any more.

His sister-in-law, in particular, has not been pleased with him for a day or two. After careful calculation, she should have been hostile to him since Xu Lifang entered the Chu family.

The reason is nothing more than four words, "Chu family's direct line!"

That is to say, in the future, the family property of the Chu family will be divided into the good of the Chu state.

Chu Guoming, as his eldest son, is arguably the most respected, but among the three sons of the Chu family, Chu Guoliang is the only one who is the most promising and loved by the old man. And the old man was the leader of the Chu family.

Who he wants to cultivate as his successor is a matter of his word, and no one can change it.

Therefore, Chu Guoming's status as the eldest son is rather weak. As long as Chu Guoliang wants to fight, Chu Guoming has no chance of winning.

But fortunately, the imperial capital Jiang family happened. Chu Guoliang implicated the Chu family. He left the family voluntarily, so as not to delay the Chu family. However, the old man gradually focused on Chu Guoming.

But these years, the old man has never given up Chu Guoliang, which can be seen by people with clear eyes.

Now, the old man is seriously ill. If he doesn't, he may be gone. At this juncture, Chu Guoliang comes back. What if the old man gives Chu Guoliang the position of the Chu family?

Moreover, even if you don't take the position of a family member, Chu Guoliang will be present, and the Chu family's property will be divided into some parts.

Who would think that there are so many things in their hands!

In Xu Lifang's opinion, she didn't want to give it to Chu Guoliang at all.

"My father is taking medicine and sleeping now. Keep quiet and don't wake him up!" Chu Guoming nodded and said.

"Don't worry, brother. I know it! I just want to take Xiaotian to see the old man and come out after seeing him. I won't wake him up! " Chu Guoliang returned.

"Yes! Then you go! Housekeeper, take Guoliang to the old man's room Chu Guoming said.

"Yes! Young master

The housekeeper answered and continued to lead the way.

After Chutian and his son left the hall, Xu Lifang gave a cold hum and glared at Chu Guoming.

Chu Guoming's heart was bitter, but he sighed and remained silent.

The inner hall of Chu family.

Chu's residence is an independent secluded courtyard.

Although it is already winter, the courtyard is full of evergreen plants, not only rockery, but also small hot springs. As soon as you enter the courtyard, it's like entering the spring of the recovery of everything.

"I didn't expect that after such a long time, the structure of my father's other courtyard still hasn't changed!"

Chu Guoliang looked at these familiar scenes and couldn't help smiling.

Over the past 20 years, many of the structures in the Chu family mansion have changed. The place that used to be a road has now been changed into a garden. The place that used to be a garden has now been changed into a road.

Only this small courtyard is what it was more than 20 years ago and what it will be after 20 years.

When the picture in front of him overlaps the picture in his mind, Chu Guoliang finally feels the taste of home.

This feeling of long absence, he finally remembered.

"Every flower, every plant and every tree here is designed by the second young master. It's also his favorite style. Over the years, the Chu family's mansion has been renovated more than once, but the old man gave a death order. All things in the courtyard can only be repaired, but they can't be changed. All the original appearance can't be changed! ""Ha ha! Yeah! It's rare for my father to see my design. " Chu Guoliang smiles, and his heart is touched.

"Some words, as an outsider, I should not have said, but these years in the Chu family, the old man, what I have seen and heard, I will inevitably have my own ideas in my heart!"

"Second young master, in fact, it was not your fault in that year! The prosperity and decline of the Chu family had nothing to do with what happened in those years! "

"Over the years, although the Chu family is apparently in power, the old man has let go most of the industry, with the eldest and third young masters in charge of nearly 60%. However, the development of these 60% industries is sluggish, and there will be serious losses every year. "

"In the eyes of many people, the Chu family is no longer the leading family in Jinling. The main reason is because of what happened in those years. But in my old man's opinion, the real source of the problem is the poor operation of the industry in the later period! "

"Compared with the second childe, the management talents of the first and third childe are not as useful as the Chu family!"

The housekeeper took out his heart and lungs and said all the words he had hidden in his heart for many years.

These are his words from the bottom of his heart. Even if he shouldn't say them, he will say them.

For so many years in the Chu family, the housekeeper watched the Chu family ascend to the top step by step, and then decline from the top. As an elder, he could see the ups and downs of the world better than anyone else.

However, what the real insiders want is to fight for property, rights and family property.

They all ignore one point, that is, there are eggs under the nest. If the Chu family is in decline, how much can they get even if they get what they want.

In the Chu family, there are only two people who really have talents and ideas.

One is the master of Chu, the other is Chu Guoliang.

Unfortunately, one is old and the other is away.

It's not a prosperous Chu family!

When the housekeeper said these words, he didn't want to interfere in the Chu family's fight for power. He just didn't want to watch the Chu family continue to decline. In the end, he couldn't even keep the most basic family property
