The Zhen family's reaction was not slower than that of the Lu family. Soon, most of the important people in the clan were gathered in the lobby.

Like the Lu family, most of the people who can appear here are older. Of course, the head of the Zhen family was also a middle-aged man at this time.

It is Zhen Yao.

Zhen Yao is Zhen Mi's younger brother. He looks a little old because he is addicted to tribal affairs. However, the genes that are in line with Zhen Mi still keep his body and appearance at an excellent level.

"Everyone has said that, what should I do today's situation?"

As soon as Zhen Yao's question was thrown out, the lobby was like a frying pan, which was particularly intense.

Zhen Yao looked at these situations while looking at the ancient well.

But his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Although the Zhen family is considered a big family, they are just rich and their background is not as good as the Lu family in Fanyang.

This is easy to understand.

The Zhen family was established by Zhen Han, and Zhen Han was a figure during the reign of Emperor Ai of Han and Wang Mang. Zhen Han was the ruling during the reign of Emperor Ai of Han.

Emperor Ping of Han first joined the Shizhong and Fengche Duwei, and was granted the title of Marquis of Chengyang, and was appointed as the Lord of Guangluxun.

Wang Mang was the first to be a Taibao Houcheng, and was appointed as the Grand Sima in his founding country and was granted the title of Chengxin Duke.

But to be honest, although Zhen Han was not entirely from a military general, he was by no means a family of Jinglun. Especially in the later years, there was no such great scholar like the Lu family and Lu Zhi in several generations. Naturally, these literary backgrounds are not as good as those of the Lu family.

The Lu family in Fanyang dared to tell the people of the world that the Lu family was a family of sutras and theories. No one dared to refute this sentence. After all, his family produced a great scholar Lu Zhi.

But if the Zhen family says that it is a family of sutras and scriptures, it will definitely be criticized to death.

Is it just money?

Can some slight scent of money become a family of sutras and treatises?

In this era, businessmen are despised, and the more money the better.

No matter how rich a wealthy person is, he is not worth mentioning than those knowledgeable families.

In this era, knowledge is supreme besides force.

And the so-called knowledge is the foundation of aristocratic families.

To judge whether a family is strong or not, money is only one aspect, and it is also an inconspicuous aspect, the most important criterion for judging whether a family is strong or not is the family knowledge.

And it is obvious that if the Zhen family compares this with the Lu family, they will definitely be left behind dozens of streets.

In the lobby, Zhen Yao was thinking about some questions, but in the hall, someone finally spoke.

"Head of the family, I think that although the Marquis of Luoyang wants to attack Nanying, we are the relatives of Marquis of Chang'an after all, and this matter cannot be done."

"What the second uncle said is reasonable."

Zhen Yao nodded, and just from his expression, he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Some people agreed, but some people opposed it. Soon, someone stood up. This guy was more than twice as old as Zhen Yao.

"Uncle, what do you have to say?"

Uncle Zhen snorted coldly, glanced at Uncle Zhen Er with a look of extreme disdain in his eyes.

"Is it the in-law of Chang'an Marquis? Now you still think that you are the in-law of Chang'an Marquis, but will Chang'an Marquis treat us as his in-laws?"

"this..."

The man hesitated, but after a while, he still bowed to Uncle Zhen and said, "Uncle, although Zhen Mi has been retired by Chang'an Hou, Rui'er is still there..."

"Rui'er is still there?" Uncle Zhen deliberately dragged his tone, and then said to Uncle Zhen Er in a reproachful tone: "Without Mi'er, do you think that the boy from the Cao family will look towards my Zhen family?"

"This..." Uncle Er hesitated again.

Seeing that the argument was almost over, Zhen Yao finally spoke.

"The second uncle said it makes sense, but the uncle's words make more sense. Whether it is Chang'an Marquis or Luoyang Marquis, my Zhen family cannot afford to offend him. Chang'an Marquis told me not to withdraw people from the Nanying, but I just wanted to use my Zhen family to involve Luoyang Marquis."

"With the strength of my Zhen family, it is naturally easy to get involved with the Marquis of Luoyang, but we really don't need to do this. As my uncle said, since my sister was retired by the Marquis of Chang'an, my Zhen family has not been favored by the Marquis of Chang'an. Now I have asked me to involve the Marquis of Luoyang in Nanying, but I just want my Zhen family to be cannon fodder. I must not do this."

When the uncle heard Zhen Yao's words, he nodded vigorously, but Zhen Yao's second uncle was a little worried.

"But if we withdraw from Nanying, what will Chang'an Hou think?"

Hearing the second uncle's words, he was rarely in silence in the lobby.

The Zhen family's business mostly relies on Chang'an Hou. If Chang'an Hou is hostile to his own family or fails to deal with it, the Zhen family's business will lose at least 50% of the time, and the worst case will be a loss of 80%.

The more you earn, the more you consume.

If 50% of the business is lost, the Zhen family will basically have difficulty, and if 80% of the business is lost, the Zhen family will basically be greatly damaged.

By then, it will be very difficult for a business to make a comeback.

This is also why they are all silent.

At this time, most people's eyes were fixed on Zhen Yao.

Huh ~

Zhen Yao let out a deep breath, and he naturally felt the gaze of his clan members, and once again felt the weight of the head of the family.

After thinking for a while, Zhen Yao spoke again.

“The business at home cannot be lost.”

"But if we want to go to the hostile Hou of Luoyang and the hostile Hou of Luoyang, our fate may not be better than that of the Huan family."

The Huan family is not a businessman, but the Zhen family is. If Cao Chong wants to severely damage the Zhen family in business, it would be extremely easy.

After all, compared to Cao Chong, the wealth of the Zhen family is nothing.

"Let me finish, the business at home cannot be lost, but it is also very unwise to be hostile to the Marquis of Luoyang."

Now it was the turn of these people in the hall to be confused.

"Can the head of the family find a way to achieve both ends?"

Zhen Yao shook his head and immediately made the people in the hall look disappointed.

"Don't panic, everyone, there is no way to save my Zhen family from disaster."

When these people heard Zhen Yao's words, they all fixed their eyes on Zhen Yao.

"What's the way?"

Zhen Yao smiled and said, "If you get along with the Marquis of Chang'an, you will affect your business. If you are hostile to the Marquis of Luoyang, you will face the danger of family overturning. Why don't we surrender to the Marquis of Luoyang?"

Resigning to the Marquis of Luoyang?

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent.

If you defect to the Marquis of Luoyang, it will be no problem to maintain the current Zhen family's business with the Marquis of Luoyang.

"But, but how did the Luoyang Marquis agree to our application?"

This is a very serious question.

Nowadays, Luoyang Marquis is getting richer and more prosperous, and it is not the time when you, the Zhen family, need to work.

But Zhen Yao curled his lips.

"If it were other aristocratic families, it might not work, but my Zhen family will definitely work."

"Why is this?"
