Although Chen Zeqing was a little greedy for money and was usually a bit obsessed with profit, he was also a well-read person after all, and he had almost finished reading the "family genealogy" in the clan. Now he calmed down and slowly organized the matter. Then he straightened out the whole thing in a state of pain when his head was about to crack. Then he was so angry that he threw the exquisite celadon tea cup to the ground.
With the eldest son of the clan leader and Chen Guangrong who could not block the wall, Chen Guangde was a strong contender for the next clan leader. Chen Zeqing now understood why his son was sent to the barbarian land to control such an important business. As long as he made a little mistake and ruined the family's main source of income, it would be almost impossible for him to be elected as the clan leader by the clan members in the future.
And now it is obvious that Chen Zeqi has succeeded. According to what my elder brother said just now, Xueyan’s business has been cut off for a month, so it must be Guangde’s problem there and such a big thing happened. Chen Zeqing understood that if Guangde dared to come back, it would definitely be difficult. Just as the elder brother said, even if he didn’t die, he would have to lose his skin every year, and he would definitely be rejected by everyone in the family in the future and stay away from the center of power, just like the sixth brother did back then.
However, things still have a turning point. If Xueyan's business can return to the Chen family, then Guangde's affairs will still have to be discussed. Although there is no need to think about the position of patriarch, it will not be as miserable as the sixth brother back then. The key to the turning point is in the hands of his daughter. As long as she is willing to speak, the son-in-law will probably hand over the Xueyan business to the Chen family again.
And it seems that the son-in-law seems to be very capable and generous. Chen Zeqing took out the recipe for "milk tea" and smiled... Although the eldest brother is smart, he also forgot one thing. The son-in-law is a scholar. As long as he gets a good relationship with him, he may get other benefits in the future, and even if he can't get it, it will not be worse than now.
While he was just having fun, his wife came out. Seeing him so happy, she couldn't help asking: "Master, what's the matter that makes you so happy? Can you tell me to listen to it too."
Chen Zeqing restrained his smile and said seriously: "It's a good thing for my daughter to come back. So that you won't cry when you miss your daughter from time to time. In addition, today you can make delicious food, and then take some gifts from Curry since childhood, and send them to your daughter tomorrow. Don't say what I gave, just say it's your own idea. Do you understand?"
The woman nodded repeatedly. She didn't know what her husband was thinking about, but it was a good thing for her husband to let her visit her daughter. In the past, when she thought of her daughter suffering in a barbarian land for the sake of her family, she burst into tears. But now it seems that her daughter is doing very well. Her husband is not only a scholar, but also quite handsome, and seems to be easy to talk to.
A woman will never want anything else in her life. She just wants to have a good husband.
Chen Xiansong returned to the west courtyard of the old Chen family. After resting for a while, he asked Bai Qianxin to invite all the people who could speak in the old Chen family to the ancestral temple. Of course, it is normal for some people to be unable to escape because of important things. But since this is the case, there are still nearly fifty people in the ancestral temple.
In addition to the two patriarchs, there are also the head of the Qifang family and the big shopkeeper of the industry under the Chen family. Many people expressed doubts about Bai Qianxin's sudden gathering of people, and of course some people were very dissatisfied. It was just that due to the reputation of the "Old Ancestor" for more than two thousand years, they did not dare to show it directly.
"It's my idea to gather everyone together this time." Chen Xiansong sat in the first seat and spoke.
As soon as he poured his words, there was a buzzing discussion below, which immediately covered Chen Xiansong's voice. At this time, Bai Qianxin slapped the chair suddenly. After a loud bang, the armrest of the chair was slapped several times by her, and she shouted: "Shut up!"
As soon as this angrily rebuked, the lower part became quiet immediately. Chen Tiancai opened his eyes slightly, looked at Bai Qianxin above, and then gently closed it. As the clan elder, he was qualified to fall asleep in the clan discussion, and no one dared to say anything about him. Chen Tianhe had a calm expression.
For many people, Chen Xiansong is too unfamiliar, and in the eyes of many people, although Chen Xiansong is a scholar, he is more of a novice, a novice who has lost his luck and won the favor of the ancestor. Seeing that he actually Li Daitaozao opened a ancestral temple discussion as an outsider, many people were not very happy.
At this time, Chen Xiansong stood up, he gently clasped his fists and said, "I know, for everyone, I am just an outsider, and many people even regard me as a person who is a soft-hearted person. This doesn't matter, because half of this is true, and as I think of everyone, I am a young guy. I know more about many people calling me "Old Ancestor" but not very admitting it in my heart. But I also make it clear first. If I really talk about age, I am indeed qualified to be half of you "Old Ancestor".
He slept for ten thousand years. If he was more serious than his real age, he thought that no one in this world should be older than him and Bai Min and Bai Qianxin, except for a group of planet guardians such as Ma Huameng.
A buzzing low voice sounded below, but it stopped soon because Bai Qianxin snorted coldly on it.
"Whether you admit it or not, I will be your ancestor this time." Chen Xiansong laughed: "Of course, I don't like to force people too much. If you really feel that you shouldn't stay in the old Chen family and shouldn't use Sister Qianxin's famous sayings to suddenly convene a clan discussion, then I will leave immediately now."
There was silence below. Not long after, the patriarch Chen Jialing stood up, and his face was a little angry: "Old ancestor, you are a threat, how can you do this?"
"Why do you say I threaten you?" Chen Xiansong asked with a smile.
"If you leave, the ancestor will naturally follow you." Chen Jialing was very unresolved: "With the ancestor's ability, she can support another 'Old Chen's' family wherever she goes. Grandpa, you are forcing us to express our opinions."
Chen Xiansong nodded: "Yes, I'm just forcing you."
How can this be like this? It’s too fox and tiger power! Tsk tsk, this ancestor really thinks he is a character!
Such discussions have never stopped. Bai Qianxin is about to get angry in front of him. At this time, Chen Tianhe raised his hand, and the noise below immediately stopped. He looked at Bai Qianxin: "Old ancestor, what do you mean?"
"Xiao Song means me."
As soon as this sentence was released, the people below sighed. But Chen Tianhe did not have any surprise expression. He just nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I have no objection. The ancestor has been supporting our Chen family for more than two thousand years. It can be said that without the ancestor, there would be no us now. Over the years, the ancestor has never made any requests to our Chen family. Now we can finally use us, so we naturally have to do our best to repay the kindness of our ancestor."
The clan elders have always been the decision-making officer of the clan discussion. Since Chen Tianhe has spoken, all parties and major shopkeepers will have no objection.
"Old ancestor. Please continue!" Chen Tianhe closed his eyes again. People in the Zhendan Kingdom believe that as long as people look at the world more, their lifespan will be less time. Therefore, if there is nothing wrong with the elderly in this era, they will close their eyes and rest in order to achieve the purpose of health preservation.
Chen Xiansong bowed to Chen Tianhe slightly and thanked him for his decision. Then he continued: "I have a very important thing that fell into the hands of the Liang Palace, but it is impossible to get the thing back through ordinary negotiations, because the Liang Palace is not short of money, and they are not short of anything. But I believe that most of the tangible things in this matter can be priced. The Liang Palace is unwilling to sell the things to me because they are too rich, so I think that if they have no money, then they will probably sell the things to me."
Chen Tiancai's eyes lit up: "What my ancestor means is... you plan to steal the treasure house of Prince Liang's Mansion, that's not good!"
Although it was not very good to say it, Chen Tiancai's eyes were full of eagerness to try.
Chen Xiansong shook his head and said, "This method is not very good. The Liang Palace is a big family, and it is a branch of the royal family. They have their own dignity and bottom line. If they forcefully rob, even if they succeed, they will probably destroy the thing I want after they know the whole story, and burn them all. This is not very good."
"Since it's not robbing money!" Chen Tiancai was a little puzzled: "How to make the Liang Prince's Mansion poor? They have their own unique business. They earn a lot of gold and gold every day."
"It's business!" Chen Xiansong smiled: "I plan to completely suppress the business of the Liang Palace. When he makes ink inkstones, we also want to make inkstones. Not only is it better than his quality, but it is also cheaper than him. In short, we are all involved in the business of the Liang Palace. In this way, in less than two years, I believe that the Liang Palace will not have much money."
"Price war?" Chen Tianhe shook his head: "This is not OK. Before we dragged down the Liang Palace, we would collapse first."
Some shopkeepers below even made mocking voices: "There are six unique businesses in the Liang Palace, and more than eight other businesses that can make money. Although our Chen family controls the iron-made business, if we fight with the Liang Palace, we still don't know who will kill us. This ancestor is really a young man, and he doesn't feel pain when he stands and speaks."
"Quiet!" Chen Xiansong clapped his palms and pressed down all the noise below. Then he looked at the bottom quietly. Everyone who was staring at him subconsciously lowered his head, even Chen Tiancai was no exception: "Did you all forget that I am a scholar? I am confident that I know more knowledge than anyone here. I believe that I can suppress it to the death if there is no business in the Liang Palace. If I can't do it, there is Sister Qianxin, if Sister Qianxin can't do it, there is Xiaomin.
If they are not good, hehe, I have an apprentice, and her head has more knowledge than me. I don’t believe it. The four of us combined are not as good as the Liang Palace. It can be said that as long as I am willing to put in my efforts, I can create another 'Old Chen' family within five years. There are two reasons why I came to you. First, my surname is Chen, and I feel intimate with you. Second, because of Sister Qianxin’s affection, she has always helped you and has a special relationship with you."
"If you don't want to help me, I will turn around and leave immediately." Chen Xiansong sat on the chair with a big golden sword: "If you don't have any objections, then, let me get up now and tell me alone how much business is making money in the Liang Palace, and explain it clearly one by one."
