Chapter 757 Please repair the family tree
"Yes, the aunt of the prince consort is of course very majestic. Don't think that if you are the New China Prince Consort, you will have no power. I'm not afraid to tell you that your Fenghu Villa is the property of our Prince Consort. I annoyed me and told you to get out of here every minute, so that you understand that no matter when, your master is still your master...Oh! Why are you hitting me?"
Qian Lizhu was hungry and tired at this time. Although she suddenly heard Zhou Ming's voice and felt very familiar, she didn't remember it at once. She just thought that she was a waiter who watched the show in the villa and blurted out these words.
However, Qian Lizhu was crazy and Zhou Huangmin was not crazy. Although he wanted to curse, with Qian Lizhu in front of him, he looked up and saw another waiter who was not open and took revenge afterwards. But when he looked up and saw Zhou Ming, he almost scared his soul.
He never expected that Zhou Ming was standing in front of him, and then he saw Qian Lizhu still chattering here. He raised his hand and slapped her, and cursed at her: "Why am I hitting you? I'm going to kill you, a stupid woman with no eyes. Open your dog's eyes to see who this is!"
Listening to Zhou Huangmin's almost roaring words, Qian Lizhu then raised her head blankly, and then she was scared and thrust over and said tremblingly: "Mr....Mr., I..."
Qian Lizhu stammered and wanted to explain but didn't know what she should say. Zhou Ming kindly said to her: "Auntie, don't be excited, because by seniority you are indeed my aunt, and even if I want to deny it, it's impossible."
Zhou Huangmin and Qian Lizhu both shook their heads. They wanted to say that they were not, but if they thought about it carefully, their seniority was indeed like this, but they did not dare to nod anyway.
Seeing their entangled mood, Zhou Ming squatted down and looked at Qian Lizhu, who looked like a mouse that was discovered: "It's just that I'm very curious. Is there anything you suddenly looking for me?"
This is a question that Zhou Ming wanted to ask since he heard the news. Logically speaking, the lesson he taught them last time was enough. Even if they were shameless, they would not cause trouble for themselves in a short period of time. How could they come to the door so quickly and look like they are still dying.
Faced with Zhou Ming's problem, the expressions on Zhou Huangmin and Qian Lizhu's faces suddenly became very exciting. They were still afraid and scared just now, but they instantly became embarrassing and hesitant to speak out.
Zhou Mingke did not have the patience to enlighten them: "If you don't want to say it, then you please come back."
Zhou Ming said that, he stood up and turned around and left. Zhou Huangmin immediately stopped Zhou Ming: "Mr. Prince Consort, don't want it. We said that we want to ask Prince Consort to go back and preside over the Zhou family review of the genealogy."
"Revise a family tree?"
Family genealogy can also be called genealogy, genealogy or ancestral genealogy, etc. They can have many names, but the contents are the same. They are all books that record the descendants of a certain surname. As long as you open the family genealogy, the bloodlines of everyone in this family are close and far away, and it is clear at a glance who is the main and the sidelines.
Of course, family tree is also a product of the clan system in the past, used to distinguish blood relationships within the family. Generally, family tree is repaired in ten, twenty, thirty and fifty years. This is related to the prosperity of each family and the importance of the genealogy. It is normal for the Zhou family to repair it every 20 years.
Zhou Ming has been wandering in his previous life for half his life and has also heard of such things.
However, the practice of family tree in the new era is different from the attitude of recognizing ancestors in the old society. More people who practice family tree are doing business outside and have developed. After becoming a big boss, they will return to the family village to preside over the practice of family tree. The purpose of this is to show their achievements. Of course, it may also be that they were looked down upon by relatives of the same clan in the past or bullied and excluded when they were young. Now they are coming back to slap these people in the face.
But no matter what, in the eyes of most people, if a person makes a lot of money and becomes successful, he will not return to his hometown after he is honored, which is equivalent to walking in the night with a brocade clothes, which seems meaningless.
"It's a family tree." Qian Lizhu seemed to come back to her senses. She said to Zhou Ming, "Mr. Prince Concubine, I know you are from the second uncle's family. My Huang Min and your father can be regarded as brothers. Although your family has been wandering outside, we have never forgotten you..."
Zhou Ming didn't have time to listen to her making up for this, so he turned to look at Zhou Huangmin: "I want to listen to the key points."
Zhou Ming's tone was normal, but Zhou Huangmin trembled all over when he heard it. He nodded repeatedly: "I understand, we just think that your family is also the core blood of our Zhou family, and we should have a family tree. Moreover, this year it has been twenty years since the last time the family tree was repaired. According to the rules, it is also necessary to repair it. Now the Zhou family is in decline and there are no respected people to host it, so we want to ask your son-in-law to host the family tree repair this time."
Zhou Ming understood this. These two people came to climb high with a shameless face.
Zhou Ming has heard a lot of this kind of thing. Many people like to edit family tree when they do big business outside and become big bosses when they come back. On the one hand, they are to show off in front of relatives and friends and satisfy their vanity. On the other hand, they are also to make their own branch the main lineage of the family and inherit the Hope.
After all, when entering modern society, families are no longer simply distinguishing and alienating by blood relationships, but whoever has the ability, money and power, the family will recognize who is the boss. Then the entire family depends on the eldest brother or work in the family business, or go to school to enter government agencies, etc., and eventually form a huge network based on the family. This network will in turn push the boss's business to a higher level.
Of course, it is unknown how many false content and random fabrications are made up of this kind of genealogy compiled for the sake of showing off and interest relationships, but no one cares about it for promotion and wealth.
Now that Zhou Huangmin and Qian Lizhu are coming to the door so suddenly, there is no doubt that it is for such a thing.
Simply put, it doesn’t matter whether Zhou Ming’s grandfather is the core of the Zhou family. They just recognize Zhou Ming as the prince consort. They want to cling to Zhou Ming, that’s all.
"It seems that you haven't eaten enough of your lessons! Tell me, who asked you to do this?" Caitlin asked suddenly.
Zhou Huangmin and Qian Lizhu trembled all over, and then shook their heads desperately to show that they were not instructed by anyone, they just truly admired the prince-consort.
Qian Lizhu even said to Caitlin with a bold attitude: "Your Highness, Princess, you are not Chinese, so you don't understand some of our culture. The family tree is very important and meaningful in our culture. It can make people recognize their ancestors and return to their hometowns. We Chinese pay attention to returning to their roots, so it is very meaningful for us to ask the prince to preside over this work!"
Zhou Ming sneered, and Qian Lizhu immediately closed her mouth, even showing a look of despair and pleading.
However, Zhou Ming finally said: "I think this is a good thing, but I can't agree."
"Mr. Prince Consort, please think about it carefully. This kind of thing is really good for you. We... well? Prince Consort, have you agreed?"
Zhou Huangmin subconsciously persuaded him, but then he suddenly realized that Zhou Ming had agreed to them. They immediately widened their eyes and looked at Zhou Ming incredible. Obviously, they didn't expect this turning point at all.
"Why don't I agree to such a fun thing about repairing a family tree?"
Zhou Ming first asked him back, and then continued, "Let's do this, you go back first and prepare, leave me a number, I will go to Zhouxiang to find you the day after tomorrow, and we will discuss the matter of revising the family tree."
"Mr. Prince Consort is so thankful. We are waiting for your visit in Zhouxiang. That is definitely the supreme glory of our Zhou family. I am very confident that our Zhou family will definitely move towards the next glory under the leadership of Prince Consort!"
Qian Lizhu flattered Zhou Ming hard, and was sent out of the Yanhu Villa with Zhou Huangmin.
Seeing that they were sent away by the villa, Caitlin frowned slightly, and her pair of beautiful sapphire eyes were filled with a little doubt: "Zhou Ming, do you really believe what they said?"
Of course, Caitlin undoubtedly trusts Zhou Ming, but she is not Su Han. She will not unconditionally support Zhou Ming's decisions regardless of right or wrong, but will have her own ideas. If she realizes that Zhou Ming is really doing something wrong, she will help Zhou Ming change and will not watch Zhou Ming make mistakes.
Zhou Ming smiled and shook his head. Of course, he didn't believe what Zhou Huangmin and Qian Lizhu said, or even if Zhou Ming wanted to believe it, he couldn't do it. After all, they appeared too coincidental. He participated in the construction of Xinhua Village in Jiyang and returned to Tianjiang City. He decided not to go out. They came to the door and knew exactly that they were in the Yanhu Villa, where they would rather die of thirst and starve to wait for a day.
At the last birthday party of my grandfather, Zhou Ming had met Zhou Huangmin and Qian Lizhu. They were not people with perseverance and good at analyzing problems. There was no doubt that they were so sure now. Obviously there was someone behind them, and Zhou Ming was 80% sure that it was Tian Feng's side.
So Zhou Ming looked serious: "I believe it doesn't matter if I believe it. What's important is that I don't have much to do now anyway. I even want to do something like straight hook fishing. Now that there is something to be delivered to my door, why don't I take it?"
Zhou Ming also said: "And I am not dispensable about editing family tree, but my father is very happy to see it. It should be a birthday gift I gave to my parents!"
Caitlin nodded. Although she was not present for the last incident, she had heard of it, so she could understand Zhou Ming's father's idea of wandering outside for so many years and eager to return to his ancestors.
Although so many things happened later, especially the actions of Zhou Huangmin and Qian Lizhu, Zhou Ming's father was very upset and told Zhou Ming that he didn't want to go back to Donglin again, but this was what his father said. In fact, he still wanted to write his own name on the Zhou family tree.
Zhou Ming didn't expect this in the past. Now Zhou Huangmin has already given all the opportunities in front of him, so Zhou Ming has no interest in pushing out any more.
Caitlin finally said: "Zhou Ming, I fully support your decision!"
