However, there is one thing that other elders can't compare, and that is that the popularity of this fourth elder is very good. Everyone in the clan counts as one, and no one will speak ill of the four elders, after all, no one thinks that there will be anything bad about him as a figure like Maitreya Buddha.

This can be regarded as another kind of life experience of the four elders, after all, no one really takes him seriously, but when everyone mentions him, they think he is still a very good person. Although he doesn't care about anything in the clan, after all, he occupies the position of an elder, and everyone still respects him on the surface.

And these four elders belong to no rights group. And everyone is also conventional, and these things such as interest disputes will not find this clan elder. After all, if you tell him today, he agrees with you, and tomorrow when someone says a few words, she will agree with someone else. It is expected that with such nonsense as him, such non-stop entanglements today and tomorrow, it is better for everyone to give up and put him aside, and no one will take advantage of this fourth elder, but it is the cleanest thing.

Zhao Rong was still wondering in his heart whether he could get an identity tag through this kind four elders. I don't know if this is very likely, after all, every year during the Chinese New Year, he has also met this fourth elder, and there is no problem for the two to communicate at least a few words. Maybe he can get an identity tag through this fourth elder.

Thinking of this, Zhao Rong remembered that Xiao Tao had been outside to inquire about the news in the past few days, and he had to ask again: "Xiao Tao, do you know what the four elders have been doing recently?"

In fact, what Zhao Rong wanted to ask was where the four elders had been staying a lot recently, although the fourth elder's favorite place to stay should be his house, but there was no guarantee that he would live in the homes of his sons, or daughters and sons-in-law, after all, he was also an elderly person.

Xiao Tao didn't expect that his young master didn't ask himself coldly just now, and the next sentence actually asked himself again, such a strange question.

But this time, Xiao Tao didn't even be stunned and said directly: "I know, what the fourth elder has been doing recently, he is preparing for his seventieth birthday. ”

Xiao Tao listened to the servants talk a lot about this matter in private, and now he can sneak out of the yard every day, and he can also get some news from the outside. These days, when he was out and about, what he heard the most was about the four elders preparing for his 70th birthday.

Originally, a clan elder celebrated his 70th birthday, although it was also a lively event, but it was not as grand as this year. Yes, Xiao Tao has already heard many people say that the scale of the four elders' birthdays this time is unprecedented. Many people will be invited to the Zhao family, not only the people in the Zhao family, but also a lot of people from outside.

The main reason why the Zhao family started to entertain guests uncharacteristically is because the Zhao family has been in chaos in the past few years. Since the Zhao family's incident more than ten years ago, one clan elder passed away on the spot, and several other clan elders were also severely injured. Since then, there has been basically no one who can come out and preside over the situation and control the affairs of the clan.

Now, except for the direct appointment of the head of the Zhao family, those clan elders actually exist in name only, and those who are really in charge of affairs can no longer support their bodies, leaving only one of the four elders who don't care about anything.

In recent years, more and more people are vying for these dominant positions, not only the children of the old clansmen, but even the families that have been born in recent years and supported by the head of the family.

However, the head of the Zhao family was helpless against this internal chaos, and he didn't know how to solve this internal dispute. He also had no way to decide which faction the positions of the clan elders belonged to.

In the end, no one was convinced by anyone's state, but the head of the Zhao family finally couldn't sit still. The main thing is that his good brother has begun to warn him that he can no longer squander lavishly. After this period of chaos, the Zhao family's property actually lost more than what was shown on the books.

There have been many housekeepers who have reminded the head of the Zhao family of this situation, and he finally realized this, after all, the last time he sent someone to the account room to withdraw the silver taels, he didn't mention the money he wanted to get.

This made the head of the Zhao family finally have a sense of crisis. He beckoned his so-called think tanks, discussed them carefully for a long time, and finally decided to take advantage of the birthday of the four elders to hold a banquet and invite people from inside the Zhao family and various cities outside to a big gathering.

It also allowed people to fully communicate at the meeting, and in the end, of course, he hoped that the Zhao family could get the final easing between the factions, so as to decide who would be elected to the Zhao family's patriarchs.

As long as those clan elders take office, the head of the Zhao family feels that his responsibility has been fulfilled, then the days in the future will of course be a return to normalcy, and he can spend money and have fun at will all day long.

I don't know which strategist the head of the Zhao family trusted to give him this good advice. Originally, the birthday of the four elders was just that everyone within the Zhao family gathered together to discuss the issue of power separation, but who knew that it had made him an internal and external party.

Not only invited, not only all the people with heads and faces within the Zhao family, but even those who have connections between the Zhao family and the Zhao family outside, those who have some power, this time the head of the Zhao family is also invited.

Of course, the location planned for the birthday of the fourth elder was a large compound not far from the door of the Zhao family's house. Originally, because of its large size, that courtyard had not been assigned to a specific family, but it was just a large courtyard that could accommodate all the main owners of the Zhao family when there were some gatherings or ceremonies. This time it was convenient, the head of the Zhao family invited so many guests at once.

And Zhao Rong has forgotten this news. Although Xiao Tao had reported this matter to him before, first of all, although he had spoken to the four elders, he was the best relationship with him among the elders, but even then, he didn't care too much about this matter. He heard it and put it behind his head and forgot about it. Now that Xiao Tao said this, Zhao Rong remembered that Xiao Tao had talked about it.
