Chapter 628

The relationships between the great families in Yanjing are very intricate.

They are like the Eight Banners nobles of the Qing Dynasty, intermarrying and closely related to each other.

After all, every family has sons and daughters, and sons and daughters must marry when they reach the age of marriage. And the vision of the great families is very high. They cannot choose sons-in-law or daughters-in-law from ordinary families, so they will only look for suitable objects among the great families.

It can be said that there is no great family that does not intermarry with other great families, and some great families with prosperous descendants will intermarry with multiple great families at once.

This is very similar to the European royal family. In those old-fashioned monarchical countries in Europe, their kings and queens are related to each other. This is because the entire European royal family is a huge family formed by long-term intermarriage.

Kong Delong's mother, Dong Xiuhua, is the daughter of the Dong family and also the aunt of Dong Ruolin.

She married Kong Delong's father, Kong Lingce, 35 years ago.

When the Kong family and the Dong family intermarried, the strength of the Dong family was even stronger than that of the Kong family.

However, over the years, the Dong family has been going downhill, and the Kong family has been going uphill, so the gap between the two families has gradually widened.

But the Kong family's old master and old lady have always been very partial to Dong Xiuhua. This is mainly because after Dong Xiuhua married into their family, the Dong family did help the Kong family a lot.

After Dong Xiuhua married Kong Lingce, she gave birth to three daughters, and only gave birth to Kong Delong on the fourth pregnancy, so she was very fond of Kong Delong.

Kong Delong is also 27 years old this year, and seeing that he is almost 28, Dong Xiuhua began to worry about her son's marriage.

She first looked for a circle among the great families in Yanjing, but she never found a satisfactory object.

The status and status of the daughters of the Su family and the Ye family are very high, and every family is eager to intermarry with them. In comparison, the strength of the Kong family and them is still too far behind.

As for those families with similar status and strength to the Kong family, the girls in their families who are of marriageable age are either already taken, or they are really not in Dong Xiuhua's eyes.

Dong Xiuhua naturally hopes that her son can find a rich lady who has good family background, strong ability, and superior appearance.

However, most of the daughters of great families are girls with obvious advantages and obvious disadvantages. The advantage is that the family is very rich and powerful, but the disadvantage is that apart from being rich, everything else is very mediocre.

For example, some eldest young ladies are completely unlearned and only know how to spend money since childhood. Although they also graduated from the world's top famous universities, they were all donated by spending money.

Like Pan Shiyi, in order to let his son go to Harvard, he donated 15 million US dollars.

Such rich second generations are mostly gold and jade on the outside, but rotten on the inside.

Not to mention those rich second-generation girls, even Kong Delong is this kind of embroidered pillow that looks good but is useless.

Kong Delong went abroad to study, which was also donated by the family spending a lot of money.

So don't look at him as the Third Young Master of the Kong family. In fact, in terms of personal ability, he is much worse than those top students who study hard.

Dong Xiuhua also doesn't want her son to find such a straw bag in the future, so she picked and picked, and picked Song Wanting.

But she didn't expect her son to be so useless. He went to celebrate Song Wanting's birthday, and he actually had a dispute with others, and even swallowed a ruby necklace in public because of a bet.

At the moment, she also felt helpless.

However, seeing that her son was about to undergo surgery, Dong Xiuhua did not show her disappointment too obviously. She just waited for her to put on her clothes and took her to see the old lady who had fallen.

The old lady did hurt her bones just now. The doctor checked it urgently and thought that she should stay in bed for at least a week.

Because the old lady was in pain, the doctor also gave her a closed injection and a painkiller injection.

Kong Delong followed his mother in shame and came to the old lady's ward.

As soon as he entered the ward, his father, Kong Lingce, walked up, raised his hand and gave him a slap, and cursed angrily: "You bastard, you are really mud that can't be supported on the wall! Fortunately, your grandmother has nothing serious, otherwise I would have skinned you!"

Kong Delong had never been beaten since he was a child. Suddenly, he was slapped by his father, and the whole person was stunned, and he felt aggrieved.

When the old lady saw him beating his grandson, she felt a little distressed, so she said: "That's enough, Lingce, Xiaolong is still young. Although this kind of thing is not very glorious, it can be understood."

The Kong old master was not as generous as the old lady. He glared at Kong Delong and said coldly: "Even if you are young, you are already an adult. An adult who can't even control himself, still expect him to have any future?"

When Kong Delong heard this, his legs were shaking.

He was not afraid of his father beating him, but he was afraid of his grandfather saying such words that denied him.

Because if his grandfather really had a great opinion of himself, it would have a great impact on his status in the family in the future.

When Kong Lingce heard his father say such words, he was even more angry at this unfilial son, so he waved his hand and slapped him again, and scolded sternly: "No, you bastard, if I find out you have a next time, I will break your legs!"

Kong Delong covered his face on both sides. He choked aggrievedly: "Grandpa, Dad, I really know I was wrong, I will never make such a mistake again!"

The old master snorted coldly: "I am not like your grandmother. She loves you grandsons the most, but my principle of doing things has always been very strong. If you have a next time, then leave Yanjing and never come back!"

Kong Delong nodded hurriedly and said respectfully: "Grandpa, don't worry, there will really be no next time."

The old master's expression finally eased a little.

The old lady complained: "You two are really, one beats the child, the other scolds the child, the child is going to have surgery soon!"

Seeing his grandmother defending him so much, Kong Delong shed a few tears of grievance, walked to the old lady's bed, half-squatted down, held the old lady's hand, and said: "Grandma, I'm sorry, it's all Xiaolong's fault..."

The old lady hurriedly reached out to help him wipe away his tears and said: "Knowing mistakes can be improved, Grandma doesn't blame you."

At this time, the gastroenterology expert walked in and said: "Old master, sir, the young master is ready for surgery."

Kong Lingce nodded and said to Kong Delong: "This is just a small surgery, go with the doctor yourself, I want to stay here and accompany your grandmother."

Kong Delong nodded hurriedly and agreed obediently.

When the old lady saw this, she hurriedly said to Dong Xiuhua: "Xiuhua, don't stay here and guard me, hurry up and follow to see."

Dong Xiuhua was also not at ease letting her son go to surgery alone, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, Mom, I'll go over with Xiaolong."

After the mother and daughter followed the doctor, Kong Lingce said to the old master with a look of shame: "Dad, I'm really sorry, it's my lack of teaching..."

The old master waved his hand expressionlessly and said: "Xiaolong is almost 28 years old, it's time for him to stabilize. If a man doesn't get married, he will never grow up. Hurry up and find a suitable girl for him, and get married soon!"

Kong Lingce hurriedly said: "Dad, Xiuhua and I have already found a suitable object for him. It is the daughter of the Song family in Jin Ling. The girl is not only beautiful, generous, and sensible, but also has very good ability. A while ago, she even got in touch with Li Jiacheng's family in Hong Kong. I think that after intermarrying with the Song family, we will make the Song family the first family in Jiangnan. In this way, it is equivalent to our strength, and we have also developed in Jiangnan."

The old master nodded: "Bypassing Yanjing, this bottomless city, and going to Jiangnan to develop is a very good idea. Hurry up and promote it!"
