From the next day, as soon as the mourning hall of the old house of the Zhang family was arranged, the old house of the Zhang family in Jinguang City began to be lively, first the elders and family advocates Taixuan in the Huaiyuan Hall in Yanghe County came to formally mourn, and the heads of the various branches under the command of Huaiyuan Hall also came in an endless stream, and then, the representatives of the wealthy families in the entire Youzhou, and the representatives of the wealthy families in Gaozhou, Mozhou, Tongzhou, Qiongzhou, Yanzhou, Huizhou, and Chaozhou in the Northeast Governor's Mansion who got the news, flocked to Jinguang City.

After the wealthy families in the states of the Northeast Governor's Prefecture, the wealthy families and business partners from all over the Taixia prefectures who cooperated with the Candle Dragon Collar and the Jinwu Merchant Group came one after another.

And this time the people who came were not small people, among those wealthy families, they were either the patriarch of the family or the elder Taishang, and the people from each business group were all at the head level, everyone knew that Zhang Tie was in the old mansion of the Zhang family, at this time, if it was a small person from all families and clans, it was estimated that he would not even be able to see Zhang Tie's face, so it would be meaningless.

The entire Jinguang City, from the day the city was established, has hardly been so lively, and now the scene of Jinguang City is almost more lively than when it was in Youzhou to compete for the history of assassination, the entire Jinguang City, flying boats come and go like rain, the airship take-off and landing base outside the city, almost all of them are full of flying boats, and those airships that originally stayed in Jinguang City have been transferred to other places by the city lord.

Fortunately, it was expected that there would be a lot of people who came to mourn the old man this time, so although the mourning hall was arranged in the old mansion, in order to arrange the mourning hall, the walls of the two courtyards in the old mansion were demolished that night, and the road partition was opened, and the mourning hall was arranged wide and large enough, so that it did not cause crowding.

Except for the family advocate Taixuan, who left Jinguang City and returned to Youzhou City on official business after mourning, the three elders in Huaiyuan Hall, Elder Mu Yuan, Elder Mu Yu and Elder Moon all stayed, and greeted the big men from all walks of life who came to mourn in the Zhang family's old mansion, and the three family elders helped to sit in the town, and there was nothing wrong with the old mansion.

Zhang Tie is the Taishang elder of Huaiyuan Hall, and now that Elder Taishang's grandfather has passed away, this is also a big event in Huaiyuan Hall, and several family elders are also from Huaiyuan Hall, they greet here, and it is reasonable to say that they are reasonable.

Now the best villa inns in Jinguang City, as well as hotels, have long been chartered by the Zhang family, and they are now used to accommodate these guests.

Because of the large number of people who came, the two streets outside the old house were now guarded by the sergeants in the city to maintain order.

Zhang Tie put on filial piety clothes the next day, and greeted those people from all walks of life who came to mourn in the old mansion, and the elders of the wealthy families in various states came to the old mansion, all of them first mourned and worshiped the old man Zhang Haitian, and then were attracted to say a few words to Zhang Tie, show his face in front of Zhang Tie, and then be entertained by the people of the Zhang family to settle down and rest.

There is a saying that no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, this is the sophistication of human feelings, and it is also the way of the world, in this regard, Zhang Tie is very open, and also understands, there is no cynical pretentious idea, Zhang Tie knows his role in the old house now, and also knows the thoughts of many people who come to mourn and worship, so he doesn't say much, just arranged by the people at home, and he himself is with the light and dust, go with the flow, at this time, as a person of the Zhang family, can come to the door to mourn is the guest, It is a human affection, and it is also the old man's mourning, Zhang Tie treats each other with courtesy, not rude, those who want to see themselves, Zhang Tie does not take a shelf, calmly meets them, says two words, and returns satisfied.

Disasters and pain will make people mature, the old man died, and the future of the Zhang family was handed over to Zhang Tie, who found that he had matured a lot more almost overnight.

There were many people who came to the door, but the white gifts given by those who came to the door frightened Zhang Tie and their uncle.

Unconsciously, the first day came to the evening, after twelve o'clock in the evening, although the old house of the Zhang family was brightly lit, the door was open, but according to the rules, no one would come after twelve o'clock in the evening on the mourning hall, those who have not yet mourned, will not come after sunrise the next morning, the mourning hall is set up for seven days, seven days later, "big collection", "head sacrifice", and then after the first funeral, do seven, funeral, burial and other ceremonies, it will take a full forty-nine days, the old man's funeral will be completely completed.

Of course, this is also the custom of large families in Taixia, for ordinary people from small families, the funeral of the elderly, either three days or seven days, will be completed.

"The Mo family of Mozhou and Aitang gave a gift of 17 million gold coins, the Qian family of Tongzhou Thorn Shi sent a gift of 3 million gold coins, the ancient family of Gaozhou Deruntang sent a gift of 3 million gold coins, the Wang family of Qiongzhou Bouldering Hall sent a gift of 3 million gold coins, the Liu family of Huizhou Thorn History sent a gift of 3 million gold coins, the Xiong family of Chaozhou Tianyuan Hall sent a gift of 2 million gold coins, the Hong family of Chaozhou Sixian Hall sent 6 million gold coins, the Zhu family of Yanzhou Thorn Shi sent a gift of 4 million gold coins, and the Sun family of Yanzhou Jixingtang sent a gift of 2 million gold coins, and " In a room next to the mourning hall, Zhang Tie, who had been entertaining for a day, sat on a chair and listened quietly to Zhang Su's father holding a gift list and reading it in front of him.

This thin page of the gift list is like a thousand pounds to Zhang Tie's uncle, his hand holding the gift list is trembling involuntarily, and his voice is also trembling with a hint of trembling.

A long gift list, listing the names of hundreds of families who came to mourn today, the gift money on the gift list, adding up to an astronomical amount, Zhang Tie's uncle took several minutes to report the gift money on today's gift list and Zhang Tie.

And this gift list is only the name of the family that received more than one million gifts today, and those with less than one million will not be on the gift list.

Not to mention anything else, just the weight of the gift money given by the Mo family of Jian Aitang is already several times larger than the entire family business of the original Galaxy Shipyard on this side of the old mansion, and it is no wonder that Zhang Tie's uncle is nervous.

In addition to Zhang Tie's uncle, several other uncles wearing filial piety clothes on the side of the old mansion are in the room at the moment, Zhang Tie's father is also there, everyone up their ears one by one, listening to the numbers on the gift list with shocked faces, and every number reported on it makes them feel that the Venus in front of them is chaotic, and their mouths are dry, even if Zhang Tie's father is indifferent to money on weekdays, he is also shocked at this time.

Zhang Yang was also listening, sitting on the chair next to Zhang Tie, drinking tea, and his indifferent gaze swept over 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 walked so beautifully, the family just received the gift money, these money are regarded as the old man's inheritance, and so on, everyone divided the gift money, and the family can have at least millions of gold coins, the children and grandchildren of the Zhang family are all billionaires, and they can't spend it in ten lifetimes, everyone can live in peace and stability, I don't know if a few uncles and uncles think the same way" As soon as Zhang Lin finished speaking, Zhang Tie didn't speak, and Zhang Yang put down the teacup in his hand, opened his mouth.

Zhang Yang's face was smiling, but in his words, there was not much warmth, but a little cold.

Zhang Tie glanced at Zhang Yang calmly, of course he would not doubt his brother's words, he just didn't expect that among the children of the old mansion, in just one day, some people were carried away by the money on the gift list, and they actually thought about how to divide the money and the idea of using these gold coins on the gift list.

This is only the first day, and in the next few days, more people will come, and the gold coins accumulated on the gift list will be more, so it is no wonder that some people will think about these money.

Is this money the old man's inheritance Of course, on the surface, it can be said that way, but in fact, as long as the brain is not a bad person, everyone knows what is going on, these gift lists, not so much for the old man, but for Zhang Tie, if the Zhang family does not have Zhang Tie, then, don't say that Zhang Haitian, even if Zhang Taixuan, the Earl of Changfeng, dies, others will not be so polite.

Under Zhang Yang's gaze, among the several uncles, some were calm, while some showed embarrassed looks on their faces:
