Make a long-term worker as an old attack

After the piercing gong sounded three times, Xue's mansion was surrounded by villagers and neighbors who came to see the excitement.On this day, it was the time when the uncles from the branches of the Xue family gathered in the ancestral hall of Xue's mansion. From the early morning outside the front gate of Xue's mansion, all kinds of carriages, horses and sedan chairs, either gorgeous or elegant, came continuously. Without losing a bit of noble temperament.

"This Xue family is different from other families. In this lineage, there is clearly only one second young master, and the elders have to appraise it to make things happen."

"That's not true. You think that everyone is like your family. There are only a few acres of Susukida that can be planted. This is a family property of thousands of acres of good land. Only one person in each generation of Xue's family can inherit it orthodoxly, and the rest can only belong to the family. As a branch, although they are all surnamed Xue, the difference between the main vein and the branch is not a star."

"But, hasn't the Xue family always chosen the heir or the eldest son to inherit? This Xue Zhaowen is neither the eldest son nor the heir, why is it his turn?"

"It's not that this fat young master had a good life. He originally had a brother who was born in the first place, and he couldn't get his turn, but now Xue Zhaoqing can't see anyone alive or dead. Master Xue only has these two sons, not him. , can I help you?"

"Haha, if Master Xue is willing to recognize my son, it's okay!"

"Go, you are so beautiful!" A kind of villager laughed outside the mansion.

At this time, the interior of Xue's mansion was quiet, all the younger maids and servants in the mansion did not come out in their rooms, only a few older men were left to guard outside the ancestral hall.

In the middle of the Xue family ancestral hall, four pairs of eight chairs of the Eight Immortals have been placed opposite each other. Six of the chairs are sitting on the same generation as Xue Gan, and only two old gentlemen are a generation older than Xue Gan. However, Xue Gan has not treated them badly these years, so the several families get along relatively harmoniously.

"The auspicious time has come, please ancestor incense!" Xue Fu looked at the sun, and at the right time, a voice came out, and all the members of the Xue clan in the ancestral hall got up one after another, led by the two Mr. Baibeard, each After twisting three incense sticks, lighting them on the candles, and leading a group of clansmen, after kowtowing to three kneeling big heads, the whole clan stood up, and the two old gentlemen inserted the incense sticks into the incense cauldron, turned around, Facing a group of people.

"Today, members of my Xue family gathered in the ancestral hall to stand up for the selection of the next successor of the Xue family." Disturbed.

"Everyone, please be quiet first. I know what you want to say. The person in charge of the previous generation of the Xue family has not yet died. It is indeed inappropriate to choose the successor at this time. But now, Xue Gan is ill in bed. We are unable to manage the family affairs, and as blood relatives of the Xue family, it is our duty to step forward at this time and choose the dragon head for the main line of the Xue family."

After hearing this, everyone below became a little calmer.Xue Zhaowen was standing in the ancestral hall at this time, listening to the elders in the clan with a low eyebrow, his mother and uncle were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, so they could only listen in the corner of the ancestral hall, but his mother had told him last night that all Everything has been taken care of properly, and everything today is just a formality.

"Nowadays, although there are not many descendants of the main line, fortunately there are still those who can take on important tasks. Xue Gan's second son, Xue Zhaowen, is honest, kind, and intelligent. The big beam in the family manages everything in a decent manner, so the few of us discussed that it is very good for him to temporarily act as the head of the Xue family."

As soon as this remark came out, although the clan members below had voices of discussion, they did not have much objection. The discussion was just to discuss whether the second young master of the Xue family could really bear the words honest, kind, and intelligent.The fact that no one objected was probably because there was indeed no one to choose for the main line besides this young master.

"Is there any objection in the hall?" Seeing this, Xue Fu followed the rules and called three times in the middle of the ancestral hall.The four clansmen looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one raised the word "no".

"So, according to the text..."

"Wait!" Xue Zhaowen's feet had already reached the center of the ancestral hall, and he was about to reach out for incense, when a deep roar came from the gate of the ancestral hall!

In an instant, the entire ancestral hall was in an uproar. The members of the Xue family looked at each other, trying to find out the objector, but after searching for a while, there was no trace.

"Who objects?" Xue Fu asked.

"I, come here!" The low voice came again, this time, only the Xue family could hear it clearly, the voice did not come from among them, but from outside the closed gate of the ancestral hall!

"Who?! You can't enter my Xue family's ancestral hall, and you don't even have the right to object!" Xue Zhaowen was a little flustered when he heard that it was Niu Geng. Didn't this man have already been kicked out by his mother? Time to appear here?

"I'm not a member of the Xue family, so naturally I can't enter the Xue family's ancestral hall, but the person next to me is from the Xue family's orthodox blood. Could it be that even he can't enter the ancestral hall?"

After everyone listened, there was a lot of discussion. Xue Fu lowered his head and asked the uncles if they wanted to open the gate of the ancestral hall.

"The orthodox blood of the Xue family? Isn't it?" The two white-bearded Xue family uncles glanced at each other. Xue Zhaoqing, the eldest son of Xue Gan, even though he passed away to die in a foreign country, did not bring back a single corpse. Is it life or death? , no one can tell, is it possible?Immediately, the two decided to let Xue Fu open the door. After all, if the eldest son really came home, then everything would be overthrown.

After hearing this, Xue Fu immediately walked to the gate of the ancestral hall, pulled the bolt that locked the door, and with a strong pull, separated the two halves of the heavy ebony gate.

Outside the gate, there were two people in a row, one was wide and long, extremely strong, dressed in black, with a saber pinned to his waist, he looked like a member of the army, while the other wore a light blue long gown, black hair fluttering, and skin as white as snow, Abnormally cold.Everyone took a closer look, who else could the scholar in Tsing Yi be besides Xue Zhaoqing? !

"Brother...Brother..." Xue Zhaowen on the ancestral hall had already panicked. He never thought that Xue Zhaoqing could appear at this time, and he was accompanied by an extremely obtrusive burdock!

"Zhaowen, long time no see!" Xue Zhaoqing looked deep into the ancestral hall, staring directly at Zhaowen with sharp eyes, without any emotion at all.

Xue Zhaoqing ignored the eyes of his clansmen, pulled Niu Geng's sleeve, raised his foot and walked into the ancestral hall. Everyone was very surprised, and some even forgot how that person with a different surname got into his Xue family's place.

"Stop! You remnant of Donglin, don't take another step forward! If you bring disaster to the Xue family, how will you bear it?!" A loud shout came from the side of the ancestral hall, but the person who spoke It seemed that he was running in a hurry, but his stamina was lacking in words, and he seemed out of breath for a while.

After seeing the person coming, Xue Zhaoqing couldn't help letting out a sneer from his nostrils: "What kind of thing are you? In the ancestral hall of my Xue family, when is it your turn to grab and bite?!"

It was Tian Degui who hurried up from one side. Although he couldn't see Xue Zhaoqing from the side, but when he saw Xue Zhaowen called "Brother", he knew that the thing he had worried for a long time had happened.

In a moment of desperation, Tian Degui rushed over, intending to use the matter of Dong Lin's remnants to kill Xue Zhaoqing's limelight, but he didn't expect to be defeated by this tepid sentence.

Xue Zhaoqing didn't pay much attention to Tian Degui at all, he pulled Niu Geng's sleeve, and walked towards the center of the ancestral hall questioningly, until he came in front of all the uncles, he slightly bowed his knees and saluted.

"Uncles and uncles, Zhaoqing is late, but since Zhaoqing is back, he also intends to fight for the seat of managing the family business!" Xue Zhaoqing uttered every word clearly. As gentle and kind as before, peaceful and quiet.

At this time, the two older uncles were well-informed and able to control the place. The two of them had watched Xue Zhaoqing grow up and knew that this child was very intelligent and different from ordinary people. Besides, Xue Zhaoqing The family has always had the tradition of setting up the eldest son and the first son. This Xue Zhaoqing is both the eldest son and the first son, which should be beyond reproach, but the facts before him....

"Zhaoqing, didn't you encounter an accident outside..."

"Zhaoqing was indeed homeless for a period of time, but I did not do it voluntarily, but was killed by someone."

"Hmph, as a remnant of the Donglin Party, you are a key criminal arrested by the imperial court. Naturally, everyone can get him and punish you." Tian Degui still did not let go. At this moment, for him, he can only hold on tightly. With Xue Zhaoqing's title as a member of the Donglin Party, it is possible to temporarily gain a foothold in the current situation.

"Oh? Since Uncle Tian keeps saying that I am a member of the Donglin Party, do you have evidence?"

"Of course, I have the letters you wrote to the leaders of the Donglin Party in my study!"

Sure enough, Tian Degui regarded this letter as a life-saving magic weapon. Xue Zhaoqing was not moved, and continued: "Letter? What letter? Why didn't I know that I had written such a letter?"

"You..." Tian Degui panicked a little. He never thought that this arrogant young master could return to Xue's house without money or a horse. He forged that letter to deceive him. It's okay to lie to others, but facing the real master, it's hard to guarantee that you won't show your feet.

"What? Uncle, you can't find this letter?"

"Who said it? It's just that this letter is very important. What if you take it out easily and destroy the evidence?"

"Hehe. All uncles and elders, listen to me. He said that I am a member of the Donglin Party, but he was unwilling to show the evidence. With Tian Degui's clever mouth, he made this Donglin Party member The hat was slammed on me, how can the world have such a reason? The government must have real evidence to arrest people. Is it possible that members of my Xue family have all listened to his surname Tian!"

As soon as Xue Zhaoqing said something, the people in the lower clan suddenly became excited. Some young people among them could not understand that Tian Degui used the name of Xue's family to go out and make troubles.Now, it is absolutely impossible for them to believe that Xue Zhaoqing is the court's criminal after hearing Tian Degui's statement alone.

A bold young man suddenly shouted: "Hand over the letter!" With this shout, other young men in the ancestral hall also shouted, and for a while, the ancestral hall was full of excitement. Seeing the situation, Xue's parents and uncles In this way, he said: "Since the people of the clan request it, please ask uncle to take out the letter. If Zhaoqing really has something to do with the Donglin Party members, we will definitely not choose him as the head of the family. But if someone tricks us, our Xue family will definitely not spare that person!"

Hearing this, Tian Degui's feet softened immediately, but now, he has already been pushed to the top of Liangshan, and there is no way out, so he might as well put his mind to fight, thinking, he waved to a corner of the ancestral hall, and a young man came over, After Tian Degui whispered a few times in his ear, the boy turned his head and walked towards the wing where he lived.
