"Yes, good night, miss."
While the servant was curling her hair, goodnight Gu heard a voice outside the castle.
"What's the matter? Is it someone from outside the tchael rofield family?" Gu asked good night.
"Yes, good night, miss," the old maid explained to her, "rolton castle is usually where the count and old Mr. fairson will live. As for other people living here and collateral people, they all have their own houses.
Whenever there is something important or some family meeting, both the Pope and the collateral must come to the old count's castle, but everyone will come to greet the old count regularly. "
……
"Knock, knock!"
There were two knocks on the door outside, and Carmen said, "Miss Gu, how are you? The old master let you out."
Finally, goodnight Gu took a look at himself dressed up and down in front of the whole body mirror, took a deep breath and walked out of the room.
Carmen, number 7 and David were behind her, escorting her through the long carpeted corridor, downstairs, and walked firmly to the family conference hall.
All the hundreds of people at the cherrofield family meeting are important figures of the family. The clan has great power but few people. The collateral people account for two-thirds... No wonder they are so arrogant to seize the power of the clan.
Good night, Gu came in and sat down next to the old count. Sure enough, the whole audience's eyes fell on her, the patriarchal lady.
"This is goodnight Gu, my granddaughter, born to me and Ruolan's daughter." the old count introduced goodnight Gu to the whole people authoritatively, "This is her name in the Gu family. In the childrofield family, her name is goodnight childrofield. People have put her name on the genealogy. Later goodnight is the object that all of you must respect. Respecting her is equal to respecting me."
The old count did not say her mother's name in his introduction because the whole family was well known about her mother's leaving the family.
Goodnight, remember what Carmen said, don't be too friendly to these people
She stood up, pulled her skirt and only gently saluted some elders in the family, "Hello, everyone, I'm good night. I'm glad to return to the family and attend the family meeting for the first time."
Some elders gave the old count face and responded with respect.
At the meeting, some family members smiled, "good night? What a poetic and beautiful name."
"Dear good night, miss, you are so much like your mother..."
"Grandpa Ralston, since Miss goodnight has returned, why don't you let us know her earlier?" some collateral people also took the opportunity to talk.
……
With a greeting in front, the whole cherrofield family remembered the gentle and beautiful woman with Oriental blood, with special appearance and name.
After the family meeting got to the point, the old count began to ask some questions about the management of important banks, because the managers of the National Bank headquarters of the cherrofield family must be the eldest son of the family.
But at the meeting, goodnight Gu saw a pale blue figure sitting in front of the collateral race. It was SHIV.
Shiv was watching Gu good night across the wide conference hall.
In this meeting, there was a subtle exchange in their eyes
At this time, a collateral middle-aged man asked, "Uncle Ralston, since good night miss has been engaged to long Mo Shen, she will marry out sooner or later. Why is she sitting here as the successor of the family lineage?"
Goodnight Gu didn't speak. Everyone came back for her. Old Mr. fairson, standing on her right, said, "you don't have to ask this question. No matter whether she is engaged or not, and who she is engaged to, she is the first successor of the family before she gets married. Do you still have questions about the body and position of Miss goodnight?"
This is a mandatory warning to those people. At present, those people whispered for a while, but no one asked again.
Shiv smiled gently and asked Gu good night directly, "by the way, good night, miss, why don't you talk? I hope you can give an answer to that question just now."
She thought that goodnight Gu dared not speak to such a noble person and deliberately wanted to be embarrassed.
But SHIV is a representative of the collateral system. When she makes a sound, someone naturally agrees.
"Yes, dear good night miss, what's your answer?" someone said politely and sharply.
Old Mr. fairson just wanted to talk. Goodnight Gu gently raised his hand to stop him, because she knew that Schiff wanted to embarrass her on purpose. "I can answer your question, Miss Schiff."
Her English is very fluent. Now she began to thank her mother for letting her study in Britain
"Excuse me, Miss Schiff, are you also the candidate for successor recommended by the collateral race? If I remember correctly," Gu goodnight looked at the woman with a little ice and snow smile, "Before, you wanted to marry long Mo Shen in every way? And when you went to England some time ago, collateral people were also ready to let you get engaged to long Mo Shen. Now that you are ready to get married, what conditions do you have to compete for the throne?"
For a while, SHIV was nervous with her pink lips, and the white fan covered the lower half of her face.
Looking at the quiet hate in her blue eyes, Gu goodnight just kept smiling and didn't say anything more.
Most of the collateral lineages are the descendants of the old count's other two wives and the married daughters. Most of the lineages are mainly the old count and his brothers, as well as some important family officials.
At this time, another uncle took the lead and clapped, "I think the problem of good night, miss is very good. Some people really have no conditions to compete for the throne or try to control the power of the whole family."
I counted the whole collateral system.
The people on the side looked ugly one by one for a while. Some people turned to SHIV from the corner of their eyes, "Miss SHIV shouldn't talk."
"Don't blame her. Who let long Mo Shen be robbed by Gu good night?" some collateral noble ladies hummed.
"Can uncle Ralston announce when Miss goodnight will be married?" someone asked dissatisfied again, hoping to get married immediately regardless of goodnight.
At this time, a man with short curly black hair stood up and his dark blue eyes swept everyone, "I know we shouldn't ask this question. The whole family should unite and wish good night to miss and Mr. Long's marriage. The cherrofield family and the long family should restore the previous harmonious relationship, and the two imperial giants should join hands, which is only beneficial in terms of family interests and business future."
This is the only man who made a different statement. Goodnight Gu remembered that Carmen showed her pictures of all the important people in the family.
It's a man who passed on to his family. His name is James. It's said that the old count appreciates him very much
