After discussing the unveiling of the ancestral hall, the grandfather then took Zhou Ming to Jiangnan College. The Zhou family tree had been revised at this time, but on the one hand, it was also a good omen. The family tree was always placed with the old professor who was responsible for proofreading and revision.

"This is our decision to discuss together. When unveiling the new ancestral hall, we also invited the repaired new family tree into the ancestral hall. This indicates that no matter what the Zhou family is in the past, at least now it will be reborn. There must be a different Zhou family!" The old man took out the tea and put it into a delicate small jar, and said to Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming could see the excited look flashing in his eyes.

Zhou Ming also thought that the grandfather and the others had a good meaning, so he briefly told Zhou Ming about the expenses for the repair of the genealogy. In fact, Zhou Ming had known about these things through the accounting company he hired, and the grandfather said this only out of a responsible attitude.

Jiangnan College was a university established by the Huang family and several Donglin families on the basis of Donglin Academy. Whether it is faculty or the strength behind it, Jiangnan is the best in the whole country, especially after Mr. Huang Renping entered Beijing, Jiangnan College's status has been further improved.

Following the grandfather into the campus and looking at the pure and upbeat college students around him, Zhou Ming couldn't help but think of his college career.

As old as you are, it is so easy to get in love with the scenery.

Maybe my body is less than 30 years old, but in fact, I am already over fifty years old in my life. My memories in college have long been blurred like old yellowed photos. However, I always think of that time as my relaxed.

Finally, in the faculty building of Jiangnan College, Zhou Ming and his grandfather met the old professor. Zhou Ming shook hands with him to say hello. Zhou Ming still respected the old professor who was studying in this era.

After explaining the purpose of the trip, the old professor took out his revised family tree. The style of the family tree is almost the same as that of the traditional family tree. It is blue cover and four large characters "Zhou Family Genealogy". It is said that the old professor went to Binhai to ask for his senior brother.

Then open the cover, the first thing that caught my eye was the Zhou family motto: 10 months pregnant and three years of breastfeeding, and the parents' virtues are extremely ignorant. He is an unfilial son, or a humiliating white hair is ignorant; or he is like walking in the high hall, thinking that sheep have the kindness of kneeling to breastfeed, and crows have the meaning of feeding back, so why is a person not as good as a thing...

According to the old professor's verification, this family motto should be written by the ancient master who left the famous saying "From the mud but not stained but not washed in the clear water but not charming."

After the family precepts, names are arranged according to the lineage list.

The old professor told Zhou Ming that based on his reading of various classics, it can be basically confirmed that their lineage was indeed derived from Zhou Yu's lineage, and they moved to Donglin from generation to generation, and Zhou Ming's lineage was the closest blood relationship.

Although Zhou Ming didn't care about his bloodline, modern times are a society that values ​​​​ability. So what if your ancestors were emperors? You can't ascend to the throne or emperor, but Zhou Ming looked at the names on the family tree that started from the Marquis of Rufen of the Western Han Dynasty and went to Zhou Ming's place, and Zhou Ming felt a little numb. God knows how many classics this old professor has broken up, so he proofreaded these names.

This old professor was recommended to Zhou Ming by Huang Zhicheng. Zhou Ming also thought he was very old when he chatted with him.

The integrity of intellectuals is unlikely to be made up of these names. Moreover, Zhou Ming would also organize others to re-proofread them, so the old professor would not care so much about his reputation.

After browsing roughly, Zhou Ming and his grandfather left. Of course, before leaving, the grandfather left the tea he brought to the old professor.

After leaving Jiangnan College, on the way back, the grandfather made a suggestion to Zhou Ming. He wanted to initiate a fundraising in Zhouxiang: "Now, whether it is the Zhou family ancestral hall or the family tree repair, all the money is the foundation's Zhou Ming's money. I think this is inappropriate, so I plan to initiate a fundraising to let all the Zhou family participate and help you share the burden."

Zhou Ming thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, I don't know how the ancestral temples used to operate, but for today's society, I'm afraid that simple fundraising will not have much effect. Of course, I don't say that everyone doesn't respect their ancestors, but this matter is that everyone's simple efforts are not rewarded. They rely too much on their personal cultivation, so it's difficult to have much enthusiasm."

The old man sighed: "Why don't I know what Zhou Ming said? But in the past, the ancestral temples had more or less their own industries, and we old guys also had some savings in their hands, but now they are gone. I can't think of any other way besides fundraising!"

"Actually, this is not necessarily true!" Zhou Ming reminded his grandfather, "Isn't our Zhouxiang Development Foundation an industry?"

"Zhou Ming, are you saying that we misappropriate the money from the foundation and go out to do business?"

The old man said and shook his head repeatedly: "This is absolutely not possible, because the ancestral hall must have prestige. Everyone donates the money to the ancestral hall, just believe that the ancestral hall will not be used randomly. If the ancestral hall is opened, then no one will trust the ancestral hall again in the future."

Zhou Ming explained to the grandfather: "I understand your concerns, grandfather, but we cannot give up on food because of choking. If such a large ancestral temple is solely driven by everyone's conscious donations, it will definitely not be enough. My money is enough, but I hope that this Zhouxiang Development Foundation can enter a healthy development. We cannot give up food because of choking, and we will not do it if there is a risk."

"Of course, we cannot let go of the risks we realize. We can operate as foreign foundations, hire professional fund managers to manage them with high salaries, and create special investment plans, mainly targeting projects that obtain stable returns such as treasury bonds and other corporate bonds. We can appropriately invest in high-risk investments such as stock markets and foreign exchange futures. In short, we must ensure profits."

Zhou Ming continued: "The profits of all foundations are used for the further development of the foundation on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can also pay investment dividends to all fundraisers."

The grandfather was stunned for a while, and finally looked at Zhou Ming and smiled with relief: "It's great that our Zhou family can have Zhou Ming, you are such a person!"

The old man then sighed, "I have only a little understanding of what Zhou Ming said, but I believe you are really good for the Zhouxiang Development Foundation, so I will do what you said!"

At this time, even Zhou Ming himself did not expect that his intention would create the top public fund in China in the future.

Zhou Ming and his grandfather returned to Zhou Lane. Zhou Ming first sent his grandfather back to the ancestral hall, and then he returned to the hotel. At this time, his parents had already gotten up and were chatting with a few girls. Seeing that Zhou Ming was back, his father immediately

He suggested going to Zhouxiang so that he could be the guide of Donglin for everyone.

Zhou Ming was amused and crying. He knew that this was his father's habit. Whenever he arrived in Donglin, he liked to go around, as if this was to make him return to his roots. He just felt sorry for himself, and he had just returned from Zhouxiang.

Several girls were very sensible, and of course they would not make him unhappy in this matter, so they agreed to pass it unanimously. However, it was approaching evening and everyone decided to have supper before going.

So in the evening, under the afterglow of the sunset, a group of people were walking towards the alley with someone leading the way in front, someone escorting the way next to him, and someone finishing the way behind him.

"The trouble ahead is so... I'm sorry, please let us go first... Please lean aside and thank you for your cooperation..."

Seeing these strong young men busy escorting Zhou Ming and his party, just like the security guards who protected celebrities in reality shows in later generations, Zhou Ming was also speechless.

In fact, this was arranged indirectly by Zhou Ming, but he himself did not expect it to be like this.

When his father proposed to go to Zhouxiang, Zhou Ming was a little worried. After all, the five girls were so beautiful and attracted a lot of attention no matter where they were. It would be bad if they caused any unnecessary trouble.

Zhou Ming called the grandfather to explain the situation. The grandfather was quite pleased to solve the problem. Then when Zhou Ming and his friends walked out of the hotel gate, they saw a group of strong young men waiting for them at the hotel gate. Zhou Ming almost thought they were from the gang of young and dandy, and finally they had the attitude of a reality show variety show.

If you are protected by someone, you will not be afraid of safety. After all, no matter what kind of hooligan sees such a mighty posture, as long as you have no problem with your brain, you will not be able to come into it stupidly.

But... such a group of people walking on the street, such a big goal will inevitably attract onlookers, which makes Zhou Ming very uncomfortable.

However, on the contrary, the girls Caitlin and the others seemed to have the temperament of a star, or they had experienced such treatments themselves, they were quite adaptable and pulled their parents to look around and ask questions. The parents were also a little embarrassed at the beginning, but under the generous leadership of the girls, they gradually adapted to this situation of being protected and watched.

"This Xilin Road is a very old road in Donglin City, with a history of at least hundreds of years. It was a long time ago, where shops such as Zhoujia rice shops and flour mills are located. Now it is still a famous old street in Donglin City. Some old Donglin people also like to come to Xilin Road to buy things. I lived here when I was a child, and it has basically not changed much from thirty years ago. Look there, the winery is an old sorghum winery, and the fragrance can be asked in all villages..."

Along the way, my father was like a real tour guide, introducing the history of Zhouxiang to several girls. The girls were also very proud of their face and acted very interested. When passing by some handicraft shops, they would also go in and choose some gadgets for the two elders.

In this way, it took Zhou Ming and his group almost an hour to arrive at the New Ancestral Hall. Grandpa Zhou Feiyi, third grandpa Zhou Wenhai, and Zhou Xiang, who is also in charge of the Ancestral Hall, all greeted him at the door.

When they saw Zhou Ming and his group coming, they came up to greet him, and then went into the ancestral hall together to discuss the official unveiling of the ancestral hall tomorrow.
