The Lu family's succession ceremony as head of the family traditionally lasts for eight days, but today is different from the past. The lengthy process not only wastes time but also attracts complaints, so it is reduced to three days one by one.

The first day was the family banquet of the Lu family. Flowing mats were spread throughout Lujia Village from the Lujiajiayuan where Lu Maolin lived.

When Xu Yunhe entered the village, he thought it was just an ordinary small village, at most a small village where rich people like Lu Maolin were born.

But when she began to understand this Lujia Village, she realized that her understanding was too narrow. Any household in Lujia Village could support an independent small economy!

They seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are closely related, because they all have the surname Lu. No matter they are at home or abroad and engaged in all walks of life, they all respect Lu Maolin.

This is the secret that has kept the Lu family at the top of the wealthy family for hundreds of years. The family has grown into a towering tree with criss-cross branches and intertwined roots. It is buried deep in the soil and can move the whole body with just one move.

At the Lu family dinner, Xu Yunhe and Lu Yanjin were surrounded by the enthusiastic Lu family members as soon as they appeared, especially Lu Yanjin. Because he would officially take over the Lu family tomorrow, there were many people who wanted to say hello.

Xu Yunhe had only attended banquets in splendid hotels, where the sound, light, wine, and color were all harsh and dazzling. But this was her first time in this humid and hot mountainous countryside in the south, and it was also her first time to see such a grand scene.

There was only one table in the main room, separated by a huge carved screen, and three tables in the outer room. Outside, separated by a glazed screen wall, was an open-air banquet.

It’s not that high-end hotels can’t be afforded, or that family dinners in rural areas are more cost-effective. Perhaps in the eyes of these people who are more traditional and pay more attention to family inheritance, such an arrangement can not only trace their roots, but also deepen the bond between their Lu family bloodlines. .

But Xu Yunhe didn't recognize anyone. He only saw a group of people crazily squeezing towards her.

By the time she heard Lu Yanjin call her name, there were already several people between them.

The man seemed to want to come over and take her hand. As soon as she raised her hand, a soft-spoken maid helped her walk in the other direction, “Miss Xu, I will take you to your seat."

"Master, it's time to take a seat."

"Miss Xu, do you have any taboos? I can give instructions to the chef."

"The old gentleman is here. Please invite the young master to come over. Everyone, please take a seat as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, young master. There is someone who will take care of Miss Xu. Butler Cui has made arrangements."

"Come here, Miss Xu, please sit down."

Xu Yunhe was inexplicably invited to the outside room by two servants, and was pushed into a chair by their force.

The people at the table have already arrived, and they are all female relatives. It is not difficult to guess from their conversations that they should be the closest members of the Lu family.

She glanced into the inner room again, and the screen blocked the mystery inside.

Xu Yunhe thought to himself, the arrogance of this century-old wealthy family is really big. When eating, men and women are divided into different categories.

Fortunately, she didn't regard the Lu family as her husband's family, otherwise she might flip the table if she was treated differently.

But now, someone wants to overturn the table more than her.

There were twenty or thirty people sitting around a round table in the back room. Lu Maolin took the main seat and Lu Yanjin sat on his right.

The servants of the Lu family came forward one by one to wait for the banquet to begin, and the relatives gathered at the table to chat and chat with each other.

Only today's protagonist, Lu Yanjin, had a cold face. He asked, “Where is Xu Yunhe?"

Lu Maolin was smiling and chatting with his cousin whom he had not seen for many years. He still smiled calmly when he heard his question.

The servant who served him said, “Master, Miss Xu..."

The man frowned and looked at him sideways.

The servant's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately changed his mind, “Young mistress is sitting outside with her peers."

"Who asked her to sit there? Shouldn't she be sitting with me?"

"It was the seat arranged by Butler Cui..."

Just as Lu Yanjin was about to speak, his uncle Lu Xinyuan said beside him, “Butler Cui's arrangement is right. She should indeed sit outside. The people at our table all bleed the blood of the Lu family. Let an outsider sit here. Inappropriate."

Lu Yanjin nodded at his second aunt, then his two uncles, and then looked at his eldest uncle.

The second uncle immediately said, “Your marriage is private. Not many people in the Lu family know it. If she is arranged to this table and she has to bother to explain, it will be a bit overwhelming!"

"Yes, you are the protagonist today after all!"

"Stop talking about this, can you drink? Have a glass of white?"

The uncle, who was in his sixties and had gray hair, picked up the wine glass and looked at Lu Yanjin.

But the latter didn't buy it, “I'll excuse you first..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, a strong hand fell on his shoulder.

Yao Anyi was still wearing a crisp suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He leaned into Lu Yanjin's ear and said, “Good young master, please don't make trouble today. Since the seats have been arranged, it is inconvenient to move. Everyone has to move their seats." Woolen cloth..."

Everyone at the round table looked at him, and even Lu Maolin asked, “Yan Jin, what's wrong?"

Yao Anyi has a headache. This rebellious young master is really his nemesis, but fortunately, he has prepared a basket of words that can be used to persuade him emotionally and rationally, and he can finally persuade him not to lose his mind.

Just when he was about to speak, Lu Yanjin unexpectedly sat back obediently.

He said, “Call Butler Cui to come over."

The servant quickly responded, “Yes, let's go find..."

"On a day like today, Butler Cui should be too busy to keep his feet on the ground. This family can't survive without him."

The speaker was his fourth aunt Lu Yaxi. The night he and Xu Yunhe came, Lu Yaxi felt unwell and went to the hospital. Today was the first time she met Lu Yanjin.

"No matter how busy you are, you have to come when the future head of the family calls." Lu Mingmei said while eating food, “Not everyone grew up like us and was watched by Butler Cui. Some people just don't know etiquette. Method."

"Mingmei still has a great mouth!" Lu Yaxi pointed at her again and said, "But why do you have four piercings in one ear? You're going to die! Your father doesn't care about you!"

Lu Xinjun snorted coldly, “Do I dare to take care of her? She always brings out her grandfather to scare me! I am almost sixty years old, and I still have to be taken care of by my father every day. I don't want to lose face!"

"Hahahaha!" The whole table burst into laughter.

An uncle smiled and waved his hand, “Same, same, Brother Lu is our patriarch! He should take care of us!"

Another uncle also echoed, “Everyone should take care of us. I'm afraid that in the future, if a boy without full hair will use a gold medal as an arrow, it won't be possible!"

Lu Xinyuan shook his head, “You can't say that. My father was only in his twenties or thirties when he took over as the head of the family. Young people have to hone their skills from an early age!"

"Now and then, our Lu family is now prosperous. How difficult can it be to choose a head of the family? How could it be..."

"Butler Cui is here."

The servant announced, and an old man wearing a double-breasted Tang suit came in from the door. His hair, which was neither long nor short, was neatly combed and shiny. He was a very particular person.

He walked vigorously and looked tougher than many young people.

"Old sir, are you looking for me?"

Lu Maolin pointed at Lu Yanjin, “My grandson is looking for you!"
