Chapter XXIV: The Struggle for Power

As he spoke, the patriarch of the Wang family took Wang Fan and the elders to a large ancestral hall in the backyard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This ancestral hall has hundreds of tablets, and the patriarch of the Wang family pointed to those tablets and said: "This is the tablet of the patriarchs of the Wang family, from ancient times to the present, there have been hundreds of generations, you worship these tablets three times, and then put on three incense sticks!" ”

Wang Fan nodded, took the three sticks of incense from the hands of the patriarch of the Wang family, respectfully bowed to those tablets three times, and inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner in front of the tablets.

Then, the patriarch of the Wang family picked up a family tree and wrote Wang Fan's name on it.

At this point, Wang Fan officially recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors and became a member of the Chongtong Wang family.

The patriarch of the Wang family said to Wang Fan: "Child, your parents are ordinary people, I won't write them into the family tree, lest they wade into the troubled waters of martial arts, as for your seniority in the Wang family, so let's do it, my son and daughter-in-law have passed away, and there is only one granddaughter, Wang Yan, are you willing to recognize me as a godfather?" ”

Wang Fan hurriedly said: "Wang Fan has seen Grandpa!" ”

The patriarch of the Wang family laughed and said: "Okay, you remember, your godfather is called Wang Hailong, if anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, and I will help you clean him up!" ”

Wang Fan smiled and said, "Thank you grandpa!" ”

Wang Hailong said: "You have come all the way to the dust, grandpa is going to set up a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, and by the way, I will introduce you to the relatives in the clan!" ”

Soon, Wang Hailong clapped his hands, called a butler, asked him to prepare a banquet, and took Wang Fan to take a bath.

The housekeeper took Wang Fan to a luxurious bathroom in the east courtyard, and soon, a beautiful woman wearing a modern maid costume came over to help Wang Fan release water, rub his back, massage, and even change his clothes for the maid.

It seems that the Wang family is really feudal and decadent, and it retains the old society.

However, Wang Fan felt that he liked the feeling of being served, and it was really easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it was difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

After taking a shower and changing into a tight-fitting suit provided by the Wang family, Wang Fan was taken to the west courtyard.

This is also a living room, with a long dining table in the middle, and a golden silk nanmu Taishi chair in the innermost main seat, and two rows of mahogany chairs arranged on both sides.

At this moment, the table was already full of delicious food.

There are also more than a dozen round mahogany tables next to it, which are also already filled with wine and food.

At this time, Wang Hailong was already sitting on the main seat, and on the mahogany chairs on both sides, there were those royal elders.

And around the dozen or so round mahogany tables next to it, there were also hundreds of people, men, women and children.

As soon as Wang Fan walked into the living room, the hundreds of people inside immediately looked at him in unison, which made Wang Fan feel a little nervous.

Wang Hailong beckoned to Wang Fan and said, "Come on, Wang Fan, you sit next to me!" ”

Wang Fan nodded, walked over and sat on an empty seat on Wang Hailong's left-hand side.

Wang Hailong pointed at Wang Fan and said to the people present: "This is Wang Fan, the son of the Wang family who has just recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and he is also my newly adopted godgrandson, I hope everyone will take care of him more in the future!" ”

"Yes, Patriarch!" Everyone present hurriedly agreed in unison.

At this time, the housekeeper walked in and whispered to Wang Hailong: "Master, Miss Sun is not in the room, she may have gone to the back mountain to relax!" ”

"Hmph, this wild girl, since that's the case, let's not wait for her!" Wang Hailong snorted coldly, then picked up the chopsticks and was the first to pick up the dish, and said, "Okay, everyone feel free!" ”

Suddenly, hundreds of people in the living room began to eat and drink.

After Wang Hailong took a bite of the dish, he stopped his chopsticks and looked a little sullen.

Wang Fan thought for a while and said to Wang Hailong: "Grandpa is worried about Wang Yan!" ”

Wang Hailong sighed and said: "This girl, she has no parents since she was a child, she was raised by me and her grandmother, when she was a teenager, her grandmother also died, so she has been self-reliant since she was a child, but because of this, she has become wild, and now she still likes women and dislikes men, I am really worried about her!" ”

Wang Fan said: "After a while, she may figure it out, maybe she just hasn't met the right man now!" ”

Wang Hailong looked at Wang Fan and said: "Actually, you are the most suitable man, you have the same powerful ability gene as her, if you get married, you will be able to give birth to the best child, Wang Fan, can you find a way to make her fall in love with you?" ”

Wang Fan smiled bitterly and said: "Godgrandpa, I'm afraid I can't do this, I have had a conflict with her, and she hates me very much!" ”

Wang Hailong shook his head and sighed: "It's really providential, forget it, don't talk about it, let me introduce you to the relatives in the family!" ”

As he spoke, Wang Hailong introduced Wang Fan to the elders present.

After introducing those elders, Wang Hailong called the younger generation at the adjacent table and introduced Wang Fan one by one.

Those elders were all treacherous and cunning people, and they were all very polite to Wang Fan.

But many of those of the younger generation are not convinced by Wang Fan.

politely, just say a few words to Wang Fan and have a glass of wine.

Cold, just nodded.

You're welcome, and even directly ridiculed.

I saw a slightly chubby young man stand up, and said in a strange manner: "Wang Fan, I really envy you, one step to the sky, I actually sat in the position on the left hand side of the patriarch, that position used to be the position of the young patriarch, since the death of the patriarch's son, it has been vacant for a long time, and the younger generation of our Wang family is vying to contribute to the family in order to sit in that position, and in the end you are still one step ahead." ”

Listening to the fat man's words, Wang Hailong's face suddenly sank.

An elder next to him immediately shouted: "Wang Xin, you drank too much, why don't you apologize to the young patriarch?" ”

Wang Fan recognized this elder, it was Wang Haifeng, the great elder of the Wang family.

The fat man named Wang Xin stiffened his neck and said: "Grandpa, I didn't drink much, I just didn't accept it, why did he sit in the position of the young patriarch, how much did we contribute to the Wang family, what did this kid do for the Wang family, just because he recognized the patriarch as a godfather, should he be allowed to sit in the position of the young patriarch?" ”

It turned out that this Wang Xin turned out to be the grandson of the Great Elder Wang Haifeng.

Listening to Wang Xin's words, the young people around him who were not satisfied with Wang Fan immediately followed suit.

"Yes, why let him sit in the position of the young patriarch!"

"It's just that it's so unfair to us!"

"You bastard, step down!" Wang Haifeng kicked Wang Xin and drove him down, and then said with a smile to Wang Hailong: "Patriarch, don't care, it's just that the junior is ignorant!" ”

Wang Hailong smiled and didn't say anything, just turned his head to look at Wang Fan, as if to see how Wang Fan dealt with this crisis.
