Volume 48 Chapter 5

From the next day, as soon as the mourning hall of the Zhang family's old house was set up, the Zhang family's old house in Jinguangcheng began to be lively. The top figures from various branches also came in an endless stream, and then, the representatives of the rich and powerful families in the entire Youzhou, got the news from Gaozhou, Mozhou, Tongzhou, Qiongzhou, Yanzhou, Huizhou, and Chaozhou in the Northeast Governor's Mansion. Representatives of wealthy families from all over the world flocked to Jinguang City. After the wealthy families from the states in the Northeast Governor's Mansion, wealthy families and business partners from various states in Taixia, which cooperated with Zhulongling and the Golden Crow Merchant Group, came in droves.

Moreover, the people who came this time were not small people. Among the rich and powerful families, those who came were either the patriarchs of the families or the elders. The people from all the business groups were all at the head level. Among them, at this time, if it is a small person from various families and ethnic groups, it is estimated that Zhang Tie will not even be able to see his face, then it will be meaningless.

The entire Jinguang City has never been so lively since the day the city was established. Now the scene of the Jinguang City is almost three points more lively than when it was competing for the governor in Youzhou. Above the entire Jinguang City, flying boats The traffic was like rain, and the airship take-off and landing bases outside the city were almost full of airships. Those airships that were originally staying in Jinguang City were transferred to other places by the city lord.

Fortunately, the old house has long expected that there will be a lot of people who will come to express condolences to the old man this time, so although the mourning hall is arranged in the old house, in order to arrange the mourning hall, the walls of the double courtyard in the old house were demolished that night Yes, the roads were cut off, and the mourning hall was set up wide enough, so that there was no congestion.

Except for Taixuan who advocated that Taixuan left Jinguang City and returned to Youzhou City due to business affairs after expressing condolences, Elder Mu Yuan, Elder Mu Yu, and Elder Mu En in Huaiyuan Hall all stayed behind. Among them, there were three big family elders who came to express their condolences, and there were three family elders who helped to sit in the town, and there was nothing wrong with the old house.

Zhang Tie is the Supreme Elder of Huaiyuan Hall. Now the grandpa of the Supreme Elder has passed away. This is considered a big event in Huaiyuan Hall. Several family elders are also members of Huaiyuan Hall. Makes sense.

Now the best other courtyard inns and hotels in Jinguang City have been taken over by the Zhang family long ago, and are now used to accommodate these guests.

Because of the large number of people coming, the two streets outside the old house are now guarded by sergeants from the city to maintain order.

Zhang Tie put on his filial piety the next day, and in the old house greeted those who came to express their condolences. Those elders who came from the rich and powerful families in various states came to the old house to express their condolences first. After Zhang Haitian, he was invited to have a few words with Zhang Tie, to show his face in front of Zhang Tie, and then he was entertained by the Zhang family to settle down and rest.

There is a saying that no one cares about being poor in the busy city, and having distant relatives in the deep mountains when you are rich.

Zhang Tie knew his current role in the old house, and he also knew the thoughts of many people who came to mourn and worship, so he didn't say much, just let the family members arrange it, and he himself was like the light. Let it take its course, at this time, as a member of the Zhang family, the guests who can come to express their condolences are the guests, it is a kindness, and it is also the honor of the old man. Zhang Tie didn't put on airs, and met them calmly, said a few words, and left with satisfaction.

Disasters and pains can make people mature. The old man passed away and put the Zhang family's future in Zhang Tie's hands. Zhang Tie found that he had matured a lot almost overnight.

More people came to the door, but Zhang Tie and his uncle were frightened by the funeral gift money from those who came to the door.

...

Before I knew it, it was night on the first day. After twelve o'clock in the evening, although the Zhang family's old house was brightly lit and the door was open, according to the rules, no one would come to the mourning hall after twelve o'clock in the evening. Those who offer condolences will not come until after sunrise the next morning. The mourning hall will be set up for seven days. Forty-nine days, the old man's funeral was finally finished.

Of course, this is also the custom of the big families in Taixia. For ordinary people from small families, the funeral of the elderly will be finished in three or seven days.

"...The Mo family of Jianaitang in Mozhou gave 17 million gold coins as a gift, the governor of Tongzhou Qian's family gave a gift of 3 million gold coins, the Gu family of Gaozhou Deruntang gave a gift of 3 million gold coins, the Wang family of Baoshitang in Qiongzhou gave a gift of 3 million gold coins, Huizhou governor Liu’s family gave 3 million gold coins as a gift, Chaozhou Tianyuantang Xiong’s family gave 2 million gold coins, Chaozhou Sixiantang Hong’s family gave 6 million gold coins, Yanzhou governor Zhu’s family gave 4 million gold coins as a gift, The Sun family of Yanzhou Salary Hall sent 2 million gold coins as a gift, and..."

In a room next to the mourning hall, Zhang Tie sat on a chair after a day of entertainment, quietly listening to Zhang Su's father holding a gift list and reading it in front of him.

To Zhang Tie's uncle, this thin one-page gift list seemed to hold a huge weight. His hands holding the gift list were trembling involuntarily, and his voice was also trembling.

A long gift list listed the names of hundreds of families who came to express their condolences today. The gift money on the gift list added up to an astronomical figure. It took Zhang Tie's uncle several minutes to collect today's gift list. The gift money on the website and Zhang Tie reported it again.

And this gift list is only the names of the families who received gifts of more than one million yuan today. Those who received less than one million yuan did not have the gift list.

Among other things, this gift list is just the gift money from Jianaitang Mojia, which is already several times larger than the entire family business of Xinghe Shipyard in the old house. No wonder Zhang Tie's uncle is nervous.

Except for Zhang Tie's uncle, several other uncles in filial piety at the old house are in the room at the moment, and Zhang Tie's father is also in the room. Every time a number is reported on it, they feel that the stars are rushing in front of them, and their mouths are dry. Even if Zhang Tie's father is usually indifferent to money, he is also shocked at this time.

Zhang Yang was also listening, sitting on the chair next to Zhang Tie, drinking tea, his indifferent eyes swept across the faces of several uncles from time to time.

"I was outside just now, and I heard a cousin say that this time the old man went so well, the family received all the gift money, and the money is considered the old man's inheritance. Later, everyone will divide the gift money , each person in the family can have at least several million gold coins. All the descendants of the Zhang family are billionaires, and they can't spend ten lifetimes. Everyone can live in peace and stability. I don't know how many uncles Does uncle think so too?" As soon as Zhang Lin finished speaking, before Zhang Tie could speak, Zhang Yang put down the teacup in his hand and opened his mouth.

There was a smile on Zhang Yang's face, but there was not much warmth in his words, but a little coldness.

Zhang Tie glanced at Zhang Yang calmly. Of course, he would not doubt what the elder brother said. He just didn't expect that among the children in the old house, some people would be dazzled by the money on the gift list in just one day. He scratched his head, thinking about how to divide the money and the idea of ​​using these gold coins on the gift list.

This is only the first day. In the next few days, more people will come, and more gold coins will be accumulated on the gift list. No wonder some people are thinking about these money.

Is this money the old man's inheritance? Of course, it can be said that on the surface, but in fact, as long as the brain is not broken, everyone knows what is going on. These gift lists are not so much for the old man, as they are for Zhang Tie. Without Zhang Tie, then, not to mention Mr. Zhang Haitian, even if Zhang Taixuan, Earl of Changfeng, passed away, others would not be so polite.

Under Zhang Yang's gaze, among the several uncles, some were calm, while some showed embarrassment on their faces...
