Hangzhou Prefecture.
Yu Residence.
A solemn atmosphere filled the hall. Two middle-aged men and a young man were sitting in two rows of chairs. They seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.
They were Fan Jin of the Fan Family, Patriarch Wang of the Wang Family, and Patriarch Wu of the Wu Family. They were here to discuss the distribution of Prince Zhang's assets with Patriarch Yu.
After an unknown amount of time …
Patriarch Wu of the Wu Family could not sit still any longer. He turned to Patriarch Wang and said, "Brother Wang, it's been so long, but Patriarch Yu still hasn't arrived. What's the meaning of this?"
He couldn't help but think that Young Master Zhang had previously mentioned the papermaking technique and asked him to come to the Yu Family to discuss this matter. Why hadn't he appeared after waiting for so long? What exactly was the Yu Family's Patriarch trying to do?
Thinking of this, the Wu Family Head, who had been waiting for a long time, broke out in cold sweat. He couldn't help but worry. One had to know that he had come for the White Paper's papermaking technology. Previously, the Wang Family Head had also gone to his residence to talk about the White Paper.
The value of paper made Patriarch Wu of the Wu Family even more uncontrollably excited.
"Hmm?"
Patriarch Wang turned to see Patriarch Wu of the Wu Family asking him. He could not help but be puzzled.
'This old man can't sit still anymore?'
At the same time, he looked at the center of the hall and couldn't help but worry. A long time had passed, but the Yu Family's Patriarch still hadn't appeared. Could it be that something had happened? Since his Wang Family had followed Young Master Zhang, he would gladly accept whatever Young Master Zhang asked him to do.
In the past, the Wang Family was like a kite in a precarious situation. Since they stood on Prince Zhang's side, not only did they give him a way out, but they might even be able to make a comeback.
When he thought of this, he could not help but feel a trace of comfort and anticipation.
Then, Patriarch Wang patted Patriarch Wu of the Wu Family on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, don't be anxious. Since Prince Zhang asked us to discuss the details with Patriarch Yu, we just have to wait quietly. Could it be that you can't wait any longer?"
Wu Family Head smiled awkwardly and shook his head, "No, no!"
Meanwhile, Fan Jin, who was sitting on the other side, was quietly waiting for the patriarch of the Yu family to appear. To him, Prince Zhang was the savior of the Fan family. He didn't expect to get anything in return. He only hoped that following Prince Zhang would give the Fan family a chance to survive.
No one knew how much time had passed …
At this moment.
A voice sounded.
The three Patriarchs who were still deep in thought in the hall immediately pulled their minds back and couldn't help but look outside.
A middle-aged man wearing an embroidered robe walked in from the outside. He smiled at the three family heads and said.
"Everyone, I'm sorry for the long wait!"
The moment the three patriarchs saw the middle-aged man, they recognized him to be the patriarch of the Yu family, Yuchi Hong. They immediately stood up and bowed.
"Patriarch Yu, what are you saying? We've just arrived!"
A trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Wu Family Head's face as he thought to himself.
The patriarch of the Yu family was too ostentatious. He actually made them wait for so long. If the Old Man hadn't come here for the papermaking technology of the White Paper, the Old Man would have already left in a huff. Why would he wait here with them for so long?
Yuchi Hong smiled and said, "Come, come, come. Don't just stand there. Sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"
Then, he walked to the main seat in the middle of the hall with vigorous steps. He stepped on it and looked at the three patriarchs below with endless joy on his face.
Looking at the three patriarchs below, he thought to himself, "It seems that the three patriarchs suddenly visited my Yu family because of Zhang boy's properties."
The core of the papermaking technology of the White Paper was handed over to the Yu family to manage.
A few days ago, Yu 'er came back and told him about the Zhang boy's auction, which caused quite a stir. The transparent glass that could only be used in the imperial palace was created, causing all the major families to fight over it.
In the end, the Wu family bought the glass with all their fortune and even gave away the papermaking technology of the White Paper. It seemed that the Wu family came here today to discuss this matter with the Old Man.
Thinking of this, Yuchi Hong couldn't help but look at the Wu family, who didn't look too good, and a smile appeared on his face.
The Wu family's patriarch broke out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself, "What is this old man thinking? Why is he looking at the Old Man? It seems that my Wu family won't get any benefits from today's discussion! "
Yuchi Hong didn't say anything. Instead, he nodded at the Wang and Fan family's patriarchs and greeted them!
The Wang family's patriarch and Fan Jin also nodded back to Yuchi Hong. This made the Wu family's patriarch panic. It seemed that the Wang family and Fan family would definitely get a lot of benefits this time. In that case, what should the Wu family do?
The Wu family couldn't afford to offend the Yu family's patriarch, not to mention Prince Zhang. Now that he had lost all his fortune, he relied on the White Paper technology and the glass to flip. How could the Wu family face themselves in today's situation?
Thinking of this, the Wu family's patriarch sighed deeply!
Sigh …
He was living under someone else's roof, and now he was penniless.
What else could he do?
He could only wait and see the results of this discussion!
At this moment.
A voice broke the silence in the hall!
Yuchi Hong opened his mouth, looked at the three patriarchs, and said lightly, "You all must be here to discuss the distribution of Zhang boy's properties, right?"
