Chapter 282: Young Master Turmoil
The Chen family obviously didn't pay attention to Chen Shaolin, a stinky child who had not dried up, and none of them could be touched by him in terms of cultivation, strength, talent, and reputation. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info now, why can he be so confident, standing here in a grand manner, and unashamedly competing for the position of young master? Could it be that someone behind him is fueling the trouble?
Since Chen Shiying's tragic death, his wife and only spouse have become Chen Shaolin's only support. Even if he was usually bullied by other children in the clan, he could only complain to this woman. Others simply don't care about their lives.
also lives under the same roof, others live a life of fine clothes and food, but their mother and son have to fight for money, and they have to struggle and weigh for a long time in order to buy a Silla account. In this way, Chen Shaolin spent ten years of hardship in this state. Although ten years is not a long time, he has seen all kinds of life, the world is warm and cold, he knows that the person who calls you a brother and sister in person may not be a friend, and it must be a villain who sneers and frames you behind your back. The long-term persecution has allowed him to develop a forbearant character, and he has become much more mature and intelligent than his peers. For these, a certain person has always been in the eye. It was that person who instructed Chen Shaolin to come here for a gathering.
"Little Shaolin, the adults are talking, you kid leave quickly, save yourself from angering your grandfather for a while, be careful that the old man scolds you. ”
Chen Shaolin was unmoved by the intimidation of the person who spoke, and still greeted him with a smile: "You can come, why can't I." Are you still afraid that one of my children will steal the position of the young master?"
Chen Shengqing couldn't help but laugh when he heard the other party's words, obviously he didn't take the other party's words seriously, but simply regarded them as a joke.
"Alright, Shaolin. You're too young to take on this responsibility. I'd better leave this kind of thing to your uncle who has not been around for a long time!"
Chen Shaolin pouted, pretending to be strange: "Why?"
Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment, and reflexively said, "What why?"
"Why do you want my uncles to be young masters, but I'm not qualified?"
Chen Shengqing was a little unhappy, but he couldn't afford to be angry with a child, so he said with disgust: "Go, go, grandfather doesn't have time to hang out with you here, and then we have to elect a new young master." ”
Finally, he glanced at the other party with extremely disdainful eyes, Chen Shengqing raised his head and said, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
As soon as the words fell, a man suddenly appeared in the crowd on both sides and shouted: "Shiren is both civil and military, humble and warm, and he is quite popular in the clan, I feel that he is suitable for selection." ”
Chen Shengqing looked at the other party and nodded with satisfaction. And the man smiled back politely. It's just that the smile looks extremely strange, and there is always an indescribable cunning.
As soon as the man finished speaking, an old man on the opposite side squeezed into the front row and shouted in that hoarse voice:
"Shiren deserves to be the young master. But I think Sejong Xiu is a top rookie and has excellent strength, and with him leading the Chen family, we will definitely be invincible. ”
Chen Shengqing's face changed, and he was slightly displeased. But as you can see from his face, he has long guessed this outcome. This Chen Shizong is also the object of his jealousy in recent years.
This kid has been idle for the first twenty years, but in the twenty-first year, a chance outing actually made him encounter a once-in-a-lifetime immortal inheritance, and since then, he has cultivated to a thousand miles a day, and soon surpassed most of the new generation of the Chen family, and only a limited number of people such as Chen Shijie can compete with him head-on. In recent days, this son has been restless, as if he had already guessed that something big was going to happen. And today, he finally had a chance to turn over.
"Well, it is an indisputable fact that Sejong's nephew is the best and the best. It's just that he has no brute strength, and I'm afraid he can manage such a big family property as the Chen family...... I have more than enough heart but not enough power!"
Even a fool can hear that Chen Shengqing is speaking for his son. As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately met with a frontal response from the clansmen.
Although Shiren is well-read and proficient in the art of war, after all, it is only on paper, and it is still unknown whether it can be applied in practice. However, since he was a child, he has been wandering around, and his knowledge must be much better than that of others. And he is good at communicating, if he is allowed to be the young master, the power of our Chen family will definitely be even stronger, and even Chen Wangcheng will be just a small place in the eyes of our Chen family. ”
"Hey, that's not right. The merchant has lived outside for so many years, and we are about to remove him from the list. Wouldn't it be too child's play to suddenly run back to inherit the position of the young master at this time. If you want me to say, even if Shaolin is the young master, it is more suitable than him. ”
When the other party heard this, he was furious, and said angrily: "Okay, you big-mouthed Chen Kuohai, your son can't sit in the position of the young master, so you want others to sit down?" Don't forget, you are just a concubine, and your name is your humble symbol. No wonder you would speak for that little ghost Chen Shaolin, in fact, you are all all the way. ”
"You!"
The man named Chen Kuohai was so angry that he smoked, if it weren't for the fact that so many people were present, he would have stepped forward to teach the other party a lesson. But when he thought of the difference in their identities, he could only swallow this evil anger raw. In the Chen family, bloodline is a status symbol.
Like Chen Shijie, Chen Shiren and others, they are all the orthodox blood of the Chen family, and their parents are both members of the Chen family, so their status is naturally dominant. And like Chen Kuohai, although his father is the Chen family, his mother is a little wife who was begged from outside, and her bloodline has been polluted, so her status is naturally lower. There are also some people, they are not qualified to stand here at all, most of them have mothers from the Chen family, but they are married to others. And the parents were incompetent, so they had to plug the door upside down and become a son-in-law. Although this kind of person is also surnamed Chen, his status is very close to that of his subordinates, and it is good to be able to rely on his own ability to survive, otherwise he can only be willing to be subordinate to others for the rest of his life.
Seeing that the two sides were fighting, Chen Shengqing, as the acting head of the family, finally spoke: "Shut up!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone really calmed down a lot, and those who scolded the street closed their mouths, and those who rolled up their sleeves and were ready to compete.
This is the majesty of the head of the family, even if it is only a proxy head of the family, they are not allowed to make a mistake.
"I have invited you here to listen to your advice, not to listen to your nonsense. According to what you said, one person chooses one person, and the selection will not be conclusive until the Year of the Monkey. According to me, let the old ancestor decide, and present the list of candidates to his old man for him to finalize. What do you think of this method?"
After Chen Shengqing finished speaking, a fierce discussion immediately broke out among the crowd on both sides, only Xiao Shaolin, who was standing in the middle, the smallest, the youngest, and seemed to have the smallest opportunity, was the most calm, as if the other party had nothing to do with him at all.
"Okay, just follow what the head of the family said, let the ancestor decide. ”
In the end, everyone reached a consensus, and Chen Sheng nodded with satisfaction and showed a knowing smile. No one knew that he had already made his own plans.
During the night, Chen Shengqing summoned several of the most prestigious elders of the clan, some of whom were his uncles and some of whom were his grandfathers, to his room. The eldest, who is now over 150 years old, was his great-grandfather, who had saddled the horse for his ancestor and was a right-hand man of his old man. Now that he is old, he no longer has the spirit of the year, so he has to be worshiped in the clan, and come out to talk or something at a critical time. Long before he came here, he had already guessed the other party's thoughts. He was constantly nervous all the way, always feeling that something was going to happen. At the first glance of Chen Shengqing, he spoke: "If you still take me as your elder, don't say more." I don't want to interfere with this kind of thing, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, why do you want to cling to a false name?"
As soon as Chen Shengqing, who became the acting head of the family, heard this, he immediately laughed loudly a few times, and then said indifferently: "Ancestor, you misunderstood, I invited you to come here today, just to discuss the selection of the young master, not a small action behind it. As long as you nod your head, I can leave the final decision to you. ”
The man was taken aback, and then said, "Is this true?"
"Of course!" Chen Shengqing said with a rather graceful attitude.
"Then tell me, who are the candidates to be determined this time?"
Chen Shijie mysteriously took out a blank piece of paper from his arms, and then carefully spread it out and put it in front of several people.
Then, at the same time, the faces of these people showed a look of astonishment, and they could hardly believe their eyes.
"Chen Shengqing, you're not joking, are you?"
"Of course not. ”
His hand was on the piece of paper on which the words were written, but on the paper was only the name of a man.
Chen Shiren.
With a violent cough and wheezing, Chen Shijie woke up from the nightmare. Relieved, he found that his hands and feet had been rigidly bound by an unknown vine, and the slightest struggle would immediately feel an inexplicable powerlessness that made him dizzy.
"I ...... Where am I?"
Suddenly, the fire in front of him jumped suddenly, and then he saw the enemy who had kept him awake for dozens of nights, Sun Changkong.
"It's you!"
Obviously, Sun Changkong has been waiting for a long time. He stood up on the stake, holding a branch with flames in his hand, and came directly to Chen Shijie, and poked hard at the other party's body. With a ghostly wail, Chen Shijie's clothes were burned out of a finger-thick hole, and the skin inside had been severely burned, exuding a burning smell.
"Hehe, Young Master Chen, don't come unharmed!"
"Sun Changkong, you dare to do this to me!"
Under the anger, Chen Shijie tried his best to get closer to Sun Changkong's body. Before he moved, he was kicked to the ground. For the first time in his life, he knew what shame was like.
