Yan Mu's 80th birthday is an earth-shattering joy for the Yan family, and it is also a watershed for the Yan family's rights.

Everyone is waiting for this day to come, to decide their future and wealth.

As the four sons of the Yan family gradually mature and have the ability to be in charge, delegating power is already inevitable, who can become the son of the Yan family, it is like a mysterious book of heaven, waiting to reveal the final answer.

Among the four sons of the Yan family, Yan Dongyang has the most cronies, and he is also the most popular with Yan Mu, who just turned twenty-eight years old this year, and is already a major general in the army, the first deputy commander of the Yan family's inner door army and internal affairs, almost except for Yan Mu, Yan Zhen and a very small number of old factions, the most powerful.

Because of the favor of the old man, Yan Dongyang has always been arrogant, suppressing the other three brothers everywhere, especially the second brother Yan Xiyang.

Yan Xiyang is one year younger than Dongyang, and his talent and appearance are above Yan Dongyang, and he is also the master who does not admit defeat, because of dissatisfaction, he often goes toe-to-toe with Yan Dongyang, after all, the country will be handed over to future generations sooner or later, which also leads to the Yan family being divided into two factions: east and west.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that no matter how capable Xiyang is, no matter how good his reputation is, he can't get any benefits from the old man, the reason is very simple, Yan Dongyang was born to Yan Jiutian Zhengfang, and this main house is the eldest lady of the Wang family, another big family among the four major families in the capital.

Yan Mu inherited the family as the eldest son of the main house in the past, so he would not break this rule.

This is destined to make Yan Xiyang jump high and jump hard, in the end he is just a monkey singing.

There are three days left before the old man's birthday, and at this point in the past, Xiyang Mansion was already full of guests, and everyone sat together to talk about business, martial arts and other miscellaneous things.

Now, however, the door was deserted, and there was not the slightest movement in the gatehouse, except for the jackdaws in the courtyard who were making noise in their throats.

"Uncle Li, hasn't anyone come yet?" Yan Xiyang paced back and forth in the hall, looked at the quartz clock on the wall, and frowned at the housekeeper on the side and asked.

"Nope." The old butler, who had grown up serving him, replied in a low voice.

"Didn't you notify, Ke Baiquan, Third Uncle Yan, Fifth Uncle?" A maid next to him brought a cup of hot tea, Yan Xiyang held it in his hand, and he was not in a hurry to drink it, so he hurriedly asked.

"Informed, they all ...... Ke Baiquan said that his mother died the day before yesterday and rushed back to the funeral. The old butler sighed.

"If you don't die early, you won't die later, you usually take Lao Tzu's money, when Lao Tzu talks so much, calling himself Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen, why doesn't his mother die?"

"! Lao Tzu hasn't fallen yet, are these damn grandsons all looking forward to Lao Tzu getting out? ”

Yan Xiyang's handsome face was distorted and deformed, and he scolded bitterly.

The scolding throat smoked, he took the tea in his mouth, and the hot tea suddenly burned his tongue and the roots were wooden, and he was even more annoyed, grabbed the tea bowl and smashed it on the head of the maid, shouting: "Made, even you, a cheap slave, are against Lao Tzu, right, is this what people drink?" ”

The maid was smashed with blood all over her face, and she didn't dare to cry out in pain, crying and kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

"If you don't have long eyes, don't roll down!"

Lao Li scolded.

When the maid went down, Lao Li personally poured a glass of warm water, sprinkled some vinegar and brought it over, and said comfortingly: "Xi Shao, the old man has already put down his words, and he wants to announce the heir of the prince on his birthday. I heard that several masters of the Yan family, together with the third master and the fifth master, all went to Dongfu as guests tonight, and it was a city over there, I heard that Ke Baiquan deliberately wrote a poem at the cocktail party, anyway, it was the kind of sycophant, but it didn't make Yan Dongyang happy. ”

"These bastards, aren't they dead fathers and dead mothers? Why did you go drinking and writing poetry again? ”

"Don't let Lao Tzu get up, I want to be the son of the world, and these grandsons will kill one by one in order to vent the hatred in my heart."

Yan Xiyang said hatefully.

"Forget it, close the door, I guess no one will come to me in the next three days, go to sleep!" Yan Xiyang said extremely bitterly.

He felt that he had really become a clown, and in the past, he was also called for wind and rain, daring to call for Dongyang, thinking that he was equal, who knew that when it was time to see the real chapter, he didn't even have a chance of winning at all, and he didn't even have a card that could be taken.

Just as he was about to close the door, there was a knock on the door, "Second brother, what's the matter, I'm not welcome?" ”

Yan Beiyang leaned against the door, bit his cigarette, lit up the old Moutai wine in his hand, and asked with a smile.

"Fourth brother, why are you here, come in, the second brother has something to tell you."

Yan Xiyang's heart was hot, and he was trying to find someone to talk to, but it was rare that someone dared to get involved with him at this time, so he hurriedly invited him in.

When they arrived in the room, they made two small dishes, the brothers closed the door, Beiyang poured full of wine, and after the brothers left, Xiyang had red eyes and smacked his lips and said: "Fourth brother, among the four of our brothers, the eldest has never looked down on us." The third child married the Wang family the year before last, and they are in the same vein as the eldest mother's family, they are a family, and they follow the boss's ass all day long, and they will inevitably eat fragrant and spicy food in the future. Fourth brother, you are ignorant, where are you going, you have to burn the second brother and my cold stove! ”

"Second brother, from childhood to adulthood, our fourth brother, you are closest to me, when I was a child, my father went out to practice, and my mother's status was low, and I was often bullied at that time, and it was the second brother who sheltered me from the wind and rain. I know, the second brother thinks I'm unproductive, has no connections, no status, and looks down on me, but brother, I miss the old love, no matter whether the second brother is promoted or lowered after three days, my fourth brother will always only recognize you. ”

Yan Beiyang patted his chest and said with emotion.

Yan Xiyang really doesn't look down on this fourth brother, he doesn't have fart skills, and he doesn't have a few connections in the house, if he was really lazy before, it was rare for him, but at this moment, he knew his true temperament, and the fourth brother could say this kind of thing at such a critical time, which still moved him.

"Fourth brother, since you have talked about this, second brother, I will tell you the bottom."

"I'm really done this time, the old man has already released the wind, and it has been determined that the boss is the son, I am likely to be sent back to Mobei's hometown to be in charge there, as for the third child, he must follow the boss, you are plain and low-key, the boss should not attack you, but you have to be careful."

"It's not too early, go back quickly, lest the boss suspect you."

Yan Xiyang revealed his true feelings.

"Back to Mobei? Who doesn't know that only family members who have done something wrong will be exiled back to their hometown. ”

"Second brother, you are an important member of the Yan family, the Yan family can have today, you are a meritorious man, even if you are the boss, you will not be sent back to the bitter cold ice and snow, right?"

"No, I have to find a way to see my grandfather tomorrow, and I must not let my second brother ......"

Before Yan Beiyang's words were finished, Xiyang raised his hand to stop him, and said with a wry smile: "Fourth brother has this heart, I am content, it is useless to talk more, get into trouble, go back quickly." ”

"Second brother, can you give me a word of truth, grandpa and eldest brother are really so ruthless? You know, we are the blood of the Yan family! ”

"Besides, when my father was the head of the family, he didn't persecute a few uncles?"

Yan Beiyang asked in a deep voice.

"There is only one orthodoxy in the Yan family's bloodline, and my father is the proud son of heaven, no one dares to compete with him, and there is no need to eliminate dissidents at all. But we are different, especially since I and Dongyang are in the same situation, so only one of them can survive, if I guessed correctly, the first step is to send me back to my hometown, and the next step, they should take my life. ”

"Fourth brother, you are still too simple, our Yan family is more cruel than the royal family, in order to continue the foundation, what am I worth?"

"In grandpa's eyes, you and I are only afraid that you are not as valuable as a beautiful girl next to him, and a guard."

"This is the sorrow of being born in a big family, on the surface the scenery is infinite, but in fact it is ruthless and unjust, and human affection is as cheap as weeds!"

Yan Xiyang hated tears and dried the wine in the cup in one gulp.
