Chapter 264: Internal Change in the Good Family
The Demon Lord's side is actively preparing for war, ready to fight again with the Good Family Army at any time.
But on the side of the good family, the family war and a few clansmen with military power made a fuss at this time.
Ignoring the fact that Shanjue was still alive, they began to compete internally for the position of the head of the family, and they were arguing endlessly in the ancestral shrine of the Shanjia family.
Shanjue's wife is a young and beautiful demon woman named Gong Qing, she is also in the ancestral temple at this time, listening to the people in the family discussing the candidate for the position of the head of the family, her eyes are indifferent.
has accompanied her husband as the head of the good family for many years, and Gong Qing has seen many things clearly and clearly.
She knew why these clansmen were competing for the position of head of the family, and she also knew their faces very well, so she didn't say anything, just watched indifferently.
After a long time, the elder of a family slowly stood up and left without saying a word.
The elder couldn't stand it anymore, and felt that he had nothing to say, so he left by himself.
Some of the people who had a good relationship with the elder saw the elder's thoughts and planned to get up and leave.
At this time, Gong Qing spoke: "Elders, we are gathered here today for the selection of the master of the family. My husband is currently captured by the Demon Lord, his life and death are unknown, and the family can't be left without an owner for a day, so please don't leave for the time being, and jointly nominate a suitable family master. ”
An elder of the good family said: "The head of the Shanjue family is not dead, why should we rush to elect a new one? I think we should find a way to rescue the head of the family, not rush to elect a new one." ”
Another good patriarch said: "The head of the family has been arrested, life and death are unpredictable, if we can't elect a new head of the family to preside over things, and the demon lord threatens the life of the head of the family, what should we do?"
After this man finished speaking, someone immediately chimed in and said, "What the elder said is, otherwise, wouldn't we be subject to the Demon Lord?"
A woman from a good family said: "The head of the family usually treats us all well, if we ignore the head of the family now, is it too disgraceful?"
More people echoed the two elders, and the crowd began to talk again.
Gong Qing sighed secretly, got up and said: "Everyone be quiet, the husband's life and death are unknown at present, so naturally he can no longer be in charge of the family." There is no vacancy for the head of the family, and I feel the need to nominate a new head of the family to preside over the affairs of the family. ”
Everyone was silent, although Gong Qing was a woman, her prestige in the good family was extremely high, and everyone was willing to listen to her words.
Gong Qing saw that everyone did not object, so he continued: "If everyone is not clear about who to nominate as the head of the family, we can vote. Everyone writes down the ideal family head in their minds and hands it to the elders, and whoever has the most votes means that he is expected by everyone, and the position of the head of the family is naturally his. ”
Everyone started talking again, but this time they didn't talk for long before they collectively looked at Gong Qing, waiting for Gong Qing to make a final decision.
Seeing that everyone was like this, Gong Qing knew that everyone had agreed to vote, so he said with a straight face: "Since everyone has no opinion, then please write down the new head of the family in your mind and hand it over to the elders to decide." ”
Everyone nodded together, took the pen and paper from the hands of a group of maids, and wrote down the choice of the master of the house in their hearts, and then the maids passed it on to the elders.
The elders of the good family gathered together, checked and counted all the bills received one by one, and handed over the final results to one of the elders to announce.
This is probably the most democratic and convincing method of election, and it is also the fairest method of election.
The elder looked at the final result in his hand, nodded faintly, and said loudly: "Everyone agrees that it is most suitable for the wife of the previous head of the family, that is, our Mrs. Gong Qing, to serve as the new head of the family. ”
As soon as the elder's words fell, some people applauded, and it was obvious that they all supported this Mrs. Gong Qing.
Gong Qing looked at everyone with some surprise, and was about to speak, when he heard a member of the good family say: "I don't doubt Mrs. Gong Qing's ability, but she is not a descendant of the good family after all, when did the head of this good family let a person with a foreign surname do it?"
Another person also said: "The head of the good family can naturally only be a good family, but Mrs. Gong Qing is surnamed Gong, not a good family." ”
The elder who announced the results said: "Who said that Mrs. Gong Qing is not a good family? She is the wife of the head of the Shanjue family, how can you say that she is not a good family? You agreed to promote the head of the family before, but now that the results are out, you are talking nonsense here, don't you take us old immortals seriously?"
The good family members who spoke immediately closed their mouths, and all of them looked at the elder with nervous expressions, and they didn't dare to speak anymore.
The good family is powerful, and the management within the clan is also very strict. The power of the elders is enormous, and their words are holy decrees other than the head of the household.
Those who were unwilling to let Gong Qing be the head of the family, although they were not convinced, did not dare to anger the elders.
Especially this elder who spoke, he was the head of the family in office, and he always spoke with all his word, and would never allow others to go against his will.
Everyone was silent, and the elder walked up to Gong Qing, smiled and said, "The family master doesn't mind, they just haven't seen the world, and they will get used to it in a few days." ”
Mrs. Gong Qing said: "Elder, I am indeed surnamed Gong, and I am the head of a good family......
The elder said, "Don't worry, no one will mention this matter again, otherwise you won't have to do anything, I will teach them a lesson myself." ”
Seeing what the elder said, Mrs. Gong Qing had to nod and say, "Gong Qing respectfully follows the will of the elder and temporarily takes the position of the head of the family." When my husband returns, Gong Qing will immediately return the position of head of the family to her husband. ”
The elder nodded: "If you have this heart, it means that we are not wrong about you, you are ready to prepare, I am afraid that the Demon Lord will lead troops to attack us immediately, so we must prepare in advance." ”
Gong Qing said: "I have ordered people to deploy defenses, and sent people to the fairy realm and the god realm for help, I believe that news will come soon." ”
The elder said, "Well done. If you have any difficulties, just come to me at the House of Elders, and I will give you my full support. ”
Gong Qing said: "Thank you, elders, and thank you, I will go to prepare for the next battle first, and please take your places, support me a lot, and protect our good family." ”
Most of the people stood up and saluted, and said in unison: "Please rest assured, the head of the family, we will swear to protect the good family to the death." ”
Only a very few people didn't get up, sitting there with gloomy faces, and didn't even look at Gong Qing.
These people are against Gong Qing as the head of the good family, but they are few and can't control the situation, so they can only use this way to express their resistance.
