Chapter 438: Family Meeting
Chu Han and Gu Shuo helped the old man Rong An into the hall left and right, and the other clansmen of the Rong family also followed into the hall one after another, during which there was only a very small conversation, and there were hundreds of children and grandchildren of the Rong family, and they were basically here.
The old man did not stop, but walked to the inner hall, where his own servant opened the door of the inner hall. However, this inner hall is not accessible to everyone, only the representatives of the eighteen inner and outer branches, as well as the family members and heirs.
Norman Vuitton whispered to Chu Han: "It's inconvenient for me to go in, I'll wait for you outside." ”
Chu Han nodded, but when she saw the resentful eyes of those clansmen looking at Vuitton, she was a little uneasy: "Or you can go back." ”
Norman smiled: "Don't worry, no one dares to touch me." ”
Chu Han was worried about his situation, and he was very relieved. This is probably a rare expression of awkward feelings between father and daughter.
Rong Jing walked over, "Even if he is eaten alive by life, he deserves it!" With that, he led Gu Rin swaggering into the inner hall.
Rong'an entered, and the talents of the eighteen branches inside and outside entered one after another.
Rong An was very pleased, pulled Chu Han with his left hand, pulled Gu Shuo with his right hand, and introduced these people one by one.
The rest of the Rong family can not recognize it, but the eighteen branches inside and outside must be recognized. The inner eighteen branches are just that, after all, they are the forces of the Rong family on the surface, but the outer eighteen branches are different, and the one who is qualified to know them and talk to them must be the core figures of the Rong family.
And at this moment, Old Man Rong actually pulled the Gu family over to introduce them to each other, which was to show the old man's attitude.
One Chu Han is just that, after all, it is a bloodline inheritance, and the eighteen internal and external branches must be recognized, so why should the Gu family?
Could it be that there were still few days of fighting before, and there were Gu family members who died in the hands of the Rong family, and there were also Rong family members who died in the hands of the Gu family, this was originally a history forged by blood and tears.
What is the situation now, in the new era and new atmosphere, that even the enemies of the world must respect the rules of world peace?
Rong Hai and the other people from the inner eighteen branches wanted to ask the old man what he was thinking, but the outer eighteen branches, in terms of origin, were obviously the ones who fought the worst with the Gu family, but they gladly accepted it.
Even Rong Jin, the person in charge of the Middle East, said: "The kidnapping of Gu Xiang this time has nothing to do with our Rong family, I believe that Sanshao should have understood." ”
Gu Shuo nodded: "Aunt Gu Xiang can be rescued, I heard that there is still the help of the Rong family, I don't thank you, he will be rewarded one day!"
Rong Jin waved his hand: "We are looking at the face of the Rong family's bloodline inheritance. ”
What the hell is the scene so harmonious? The people of the eighteen branches almost lost their breath when they saw it.
And the people of the outer eighteen branches were almost all around Old Man Rong at the moment, completely ignoring the old foxes of the inner eighteen branches.
Gu Shuo clearly felt that these people looked at Chu Han differently. To be precise, the people of the other eighteen branches saw that the rest of the Rong family was polite and polite at most, and they seemed somewhat distant and indifferent, even if Rong Hai Rong Gui and others took the initiative to come up to greet them, they only responded lightly.
But for Chu Han, who had never been masked, their eyes were too hot.
Gu Shuo, including the news that Gu Rin got about the Rong family now, only said that the Rong family belonged to the dark forces, in short, the forces on the surface were not important things in their intelligence, the dark department was, but the dark department did not have enough information to inquire about.
When you're unsure of your enemy's situation, and the enemy is enthusiastic about your most precious things, you can have some apprehension.
Gu Rin watched his younger brother quietly pull the eighteen "coveted" Chu Han into his arms on the periphery, this move was not obvious, but it fell into everyone's eyes without omission.
The other eighteen branches had no intention of restraint, but frowned at Gu Shuo's practice of wanting to take their inheritors for themselves, and became more and more eager.
People need faith, but many times some people will think of faith as superstition. The belief that the outer eighteen branches adhere to is the inheritance of the Rong family, and this belief is more practical and in line with the fundamental interests of the family than believing in any religious gods.
In the past, the Rong family used the bloodline inheritor as the head of the family, but what they wanted was this kind of dedication and cohesion. It's just that now this kind of cohesion has faded, and the forces that are carried away by materialism are sprouting and taking root in the Rong family.
They watched the Rong family's beliefs and values collapse in the new world, but they couldn't do anything about it, but they strengthened their beliefs. Only those who are on the line of life and death understand the importance of faith to a person.
"I have a question, I don't know if to ask it?" Gu Rin finally couldn't help but ask Rong Jing.
Rong Jing smiled: "Are you worried that these people have robbed your brother and daughter-in-law?"
It's really that the people of the eighteen branches look at Chu Han too deeply, don't look at those guys with straight faces, but their eyes are like hooks, and they can hook you by brushing it, so don't you want to run.
In the past, Rong Jing had met many times the people of the Eighteen Branches, and these people were disdainful of the other people of the Rong family, no matter what their status, even her, the most precious daughter of the bloodline inheritor, was very inappropriate, and she was jealous and resentful at that time, especially when she saw that Rong Lan, who was a little younger than herself, treated the supreme monarch like a supreme monarch.
It's just that looking at how these people treat Chu Han now, Rong Jing only feels that she was ridiculous back then.
"If anyone in this Rong family still has faith, they are probably the only ones......"
Those who dare to plan for the future of the Rong family in the rain of bullets, dare to protect the cornerstone of the Rong family at any cost on the cusp of the storm, they should be the origin of the Rong family and the master of the Rong family.
And they are the only ones who have inherited the true spirit of the Rong family.
Where can the two factions of Rong Hai and Rong Gui tolerate Chu Han's monopoly of resources, and they came over to talk to the other eighteen branches.
Today, each of the eighteen branches has brought a child, and it should be said that all the daughters of the branches have brought their daughters. There is only one branch vein without a daughter with a son who may be the successor of his own family, no matter how embarrassed he looks, he is a little embarrassed to go out eighteen branches.
"This is the little girl Rong Zi. Rong Hai brought his daughter Rong Zi, who had just turned eighteen, to meet these cornerstone characters of the Rong family.
In order to meet these elders, Rong Zi also specially put on light makeup today, wearing a pink dress, which looks particularly pink and obedient.
The other eighteen branches rarely come back once a year, or even once in a few years, how can the various factions of the Rong family who want to support their own forces let go of this opportunity to brush their faces?
Rong Hai gave birth to six sons in a row in order to give birth to this daughter, and today in this hall, he didn't bring a son, so he brought this newly adult daughter. This is enough to show how transcendent the status of the daughter is in the Rong family.
It's just that Rong An took Chu Han and Gu Shuo to meet these people one by one, and the others in the back also brought their daughters to meet one by one, and the old man Rong An almost didn't control his temper.
What can these people do?
How can it be compared to Chu Han's bloodline inheritance?
And Chu Han also found that since entering this inner hall, those who had only secretly poked and poked at the Gu family brothers had become blatant this time.
She had the feeling that the meat in her bowl was being stared at, and she couldn't wait to stuff Gu Shuo in her pocket.
Rong Jing likes to see her deflated, how to look at it.
Gu Rin handed her a glass of wine and emphasized, "This is my brother-in-law." It's the treasure of the Gu family!"
In other words, your gloating expression can be appropriately restrained.
Rong Jing immediately coughed lightly, turned around and looked at him with a smile: "You don't have to worry, there is an old man here, there are people from the other eighteen branches, and others can't bully her at all." ”
Gu Rin believed it.
"Shouldn't your uncle be watching?" Rong Li walked over to remind Rong Jing. Today, Rong Hai's move to win over the people of the other eighteen branches is too obvious.
Family infighting or something, has never included the dark department. It's okay for you to brush up on them, but you must not have the behavior of wooing, and it is taboo to involve these people.
The pattern of the Rong family is very similar to the political pattern of some countries, and it has a bit of military and political independence. That is, no matter who is in charge of the house above you, the military will not participate in it.
And the symbol of the "military" foundation of the Rong family is the outer eighteen of these dark organizations. Because they wander in the dark, they rarely ask about the rights disputes of these people on the surface, but no matter how the Rong family fights, there is one thing that is agreed upon, that is, it does not affect or pull the main pillar.
This is the foundation of the Rong family's status, and everyone knows the severity.
When Rong An was young, he was one of the best people in this category, and later took over the mission of the previous Bloodline Guardian. The Eighteen Outer Branches respect Rong An very much, but they are a little indifferent to Rong Hai and Rong Gui, and even Rong Jing and Rong Li only maintain superficial politeness, and do not have excessive closeness and superfluous emotional expressions.
Obviously, Rong Hai and the others were stimulated by the indifference of the Outer Eighteen Branches, and they had to come to the closer, but Rong Jing could see it clearly: "Don't worry, the people of the Outer Eighteen Branches are so easy to win over, they are not the people of the 'dark department'!"
I think that when she was unwilling to be ridden by Rong Lan, she also tried like these people, as long as she tried, she knew that the more you were wooed, the more these people didn't want to see you.
In other words, the only people who can give them face are the lineage inheritors and those they think are worthy of respect, and the others are nothing in front of them.
Sure enough, in a group of old stubborns, there were many people with their daughters at home, and there were also many people who greeted the people of the outer eighteen branches, and the outer eighteen branches were polite and lukewarm to everyone, but they obviously kept a distance from Rong Hai, a person who showed a special sense of wooing, and several people ended the conversation with him halfway through the excuse.
Rong Hai's face almost didn't hang. At this time, Old Man Rong came over to remind him: "They are also the Rong family, and they are not as unkind to their own family as you think." They won't shirk what they should do for the Rong family, you don't have to be so deliberate. At the end, he added, "They just keep their duty."
In other words, Rong Hai's behavior today is a bit out of his duty.
Rong Hai was humbly taught, and he was very honest, but when he turned around, he asked: "In the past, a bloodline inheritance experiment would be held every year. Is it going to happen this time?"
It was not light, it was just enough for everyone in the inner hall to hear it.
The bloodline inheritance test is to test who has the bloodline inheritance. Now that Chu Han has returned to the Rong family as the inheritor of the bloodline, of course this experiment must be done in public, otherwise, her identity will be recognized!
"So, are you doubting me?" Rong Li looked at Rong Hai with a smile. He was originally opposed to Rong Hai's branch, and Chu Han was his niece, and it seemed very convincing that he shielded Chu Han to win over the other eighteen branches.
"Rong Li, don't think about it too much, I mean, in the past, the girls in the family would be tested once a year, and this year, it is rare that the people from the other eighteen branches have also arrived, so we should test it again to see if there are other bloodline awakened people in our family. What do you say, old man?"
Rong Li kept a cold face and didn't speak.
Old Man Rong glanced indifferently at the eighteen branches, the little girls of the Rong family around them do have to conduct a bloodline test in public every year, although the inheritance bloodline can generally be detected at birth, but there are also those who are born with a weak physique and then show inheritance with the change of acquired physique.
"Okay, move this year's bloodline inheritance experiment to today. Rong Jing, tell the others to get ready. ”
Rong Jing bowed slightly and exited the inner hall.
Chu Han looked at Rong Hai, and then swept his gaze to Rong Zi beside him, squinting slightly, always feeling that these two people would pose a threat to her, what was going on? Obviously, one of these two people looked very kind, and the other looked quite sweet.
