415, the Jiang family's calculations
"My loved ones?" Jiang Tong raised her eyebrows, "What's her name?" Did you say it was any of my relatives? ”
"She said her surname was Jiang, and her single name was a coriander character." Keke said, "From the Ruler Star Domain, it's a person from the Jiang family." ”
Jiang Tong sneered in his heart, it was the Jiang family again, when the head of the Jiang family was in trouble hundreds of years ago, these families and side branches were eager to cut off relations with them immediately, and now seeing that she was rich and could benefit from her, they did everything possible to climb relatives.
It's really poor in the downtown and no one asks, rich in the mountains and distant relatives.
Coco carefully observed the words, the master seemed to be very disdainful of these relatives, probably because she didn't want to see them, she had to think of a good rhetoric, and invite those people away, neither decent, nor too rude.
"Let them in."
Keke was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Yes, I'm just going to invite." ”
In the reception room, several people sit opposite each other.
The reception room of Jinsha Mansion is naturally very luxurious, with leather sofas made of gollum animal skins, plush carpets made of white snow beasts, and silk curtains made of snow forest spiders, which are woven with intricate entwined peonies. Other tables and chairs, etc., are all made of red nan wood from the Fly Star Field, and the back of the chair is carved with flowers, grasses, insects and fish, beautifully carved, covered with red velvet cushions, and the tea used is the spiritual tea produced in the Phoenix Star, and there is a faint spiritual fragrance in the mouth.
"Auntie, this Jiang Tong is too faceless for us." A girl in a white dress held the spiritual tea, tasted it elegantly and said dissatisfiedly, "How can we say that we are also our own family, and you are also her elder, so it is rude to let the elder wait in the reception room for four hours." ”
Jiang Qian drank another cup of tea, this is the fifth cup she drank this morning, this tea is really good tea, the taste is sweet, it actually contains a spiritual aura, drinking such five cups is better than her cultivation in the place where the family's spiritual energy is strongest for two days.
"Kaoru-chan, watch your words." Jiang Qian glanced at her coldly, "Although Your Excellency Jiang Tong is also a member of the Jiang family, she is now a martial artist, even if the head of the family is here, she must respectfully salute her, not to mention us." ”
Jiang Xun pursed his lips and said, "Wuzun is not a big deal, my grandfather has also broken through Wuzun." ”
Jiang Qian frowned: "Xiao Xun, if you talk nonsense again, I can only let you go back to the Ruler Star Domain." ”
Jiang Xun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, I was wrong, you must not drive me back, please, I won't talk nonsense anymore." ”
At this time, the young handsome man who had been sitting on the side spoke: "Auntie, Xiao Xun is young and ignorant, you can forgive her this time." ”
Jiang Qian is just talking, after all, Jiang Xun is the direct great-granddaughter of the Jiang family's Wuzun, her father is now the most popular choice for the head of the family, she doesn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, and it is impossible to drive her back directly.
"Xiao Luo, you are an elder brother, you have to teach your sister well." Jiang Qian said, "She is young, but in this place of Capital Star, no one will not care about you because you are young." ”
"Yes." Jiang Luo said meekly, "Auntie, don't worry, I will teach my sister well." ”
There was a knock on the door, and Coco opened the door and came in, bowing slightly and saying, "Everyone, my master invites you to come to the reception room for a while." ”
"I'm tired." Jiang Qian stood up, tidied up her clothes and hats, and came under the leadership of Coco.
Jiang Tong sat on the single sofa and looked at the three people standing in front of him, this person named Jiang Qian should be forty or fifty years old, but his appearance looked like he was in his early thirties, and he was wearing a very formal robe, looking dignified and noble, he should be a martial arts master.
And the two young people behind her, the man was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was very handsome, but he lowered his eyebrows and looked like he didn't have any opinions, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was not a worry-free girl at first glance.
"Your Excellency Jiang Tong." Jiang Qian owed slightly, "It's an honor to meet you." ”
"You may be seated." Jiang Tong pointed to the sofa opposite and said.
Jiang Qian took the two of them to sit down, and Jiang Xun looked around with a pair of watery eyes. The Jiang family in the Ruler Star Domain is only a third-rate family in its own star field, and although the family is rich, it is impossible for it to be like Jinsha Building, where there are treasures everywhere.
Therefore, she felt strange when she saw everything, wanted everything she saw, and thought about going home to be coquettish with her mother and asking her mother to buy it for her.
Jiang Tong said: "Ms. Jiang Qian is visiting today, I don't know what is going on?" ”
Jiang Qian is a smart person, knowing that if he opens his mouth to be related to her, he will definitely get a shame, so he kept his mouth shut about the relationship between the two, exchanged a few words, and said: "Your Excellency Jiang Tong, I am here today for the position of the head of the Jiang family. ”
Jiang Tong's face froze, he raised his eyelids, his gaze was like a knife, Jiang Qian suddenly felt like a mang on his back, and the cold hairs on his skin stood up.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to face the coercion of Wuzun? It's like facing an ancient beast, and the fear spreads through the body like a vine.
With a muddy smile on his face, Jiang Tong said meaningfully: "I heard that the ancestor of the Ruler Jiang family has just broken through the Martial Zun, and the Ruler Jiang family has become a first-class family in the Ruler Star Domain, which is really gratifying. ”
Jiang Qian barely showed a smile: "You have an overreputation." The Jiang family is also the Jiang family, our family has a future, and you also have a bright face. ”
Jiang Tong sneered: "I do remember that seven hundred years ago, you Jiang family side branches were afraid of being implicated by our lineage, and you have announced to the entire galaxy that you have nothing to do with the Jiang family. Now that he has come to discuss with me the position of the head of the Jiang family, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? ”
The implication is that you are not from my Jiang family for a long time, don't think that someone in the family has broken through Wuzun and has a little strength, so they dare to covet the position of the head of the Jiang family.
Jiang Xun was anxious, seeing that there was sarcasm in Jiang Tong's tone, he was angry in his heart, and he was about to speak, but he was held down by his brother Jiang Luo.
She glared at her brother angrily, and Jiang Luo glanced at her and shook his head.
Jiang Xun gave him a blank look and stopped talking.
Jiang Qian smiled and said, "Your Excellency Jiang Tong, don't worry, listen to me explain the reason." ”
Jiang Tong leaned back, leaned back on the sofa, and said, "Say it." ”
Jiang Qian said: "I don't know Ms. Jiang Tong, do you know that the Jiang family has followed the master selection ceremony for thousands of years?" ”
"The Election Ceremony?" Jiang Tong became interested, "My father didn't mention it. ”
Jiang Qian sat up straight and said, "Since the death of the Jiang family's descendants seven hundred years ago, this ceremony has been interrupted, and it is common for you not to know. If it weren't for the fact that the Old Ancestor broke through Wuzun this time, we wouldn't have known. ”
Jiang Tong nodded and said, "Please also ask Ms. Jiang Qian to solve my doubts." ”
Jiang Qian said: "You know, our Jiang family inherited from Jiang Chu, one of the ten great gods of war during the Great Catastrophe period more than 2,000 years ago. Before the fall of Jiang Chu, the God of War set a rule for future generations, and every head of the Jiang family must be recognized by him. For this reason, he set up an altar in his tomb, and in the past, every head of the family had to go to the tomb of the god of war to worship the god of war, and ascend to the altar, if the god of war recognized the name of the head of the house, there would be a vision. ”
"Seven hundred years ago, after the last head of the Jiang family was killed by the enemy, this secret was lost. The ancestor of my ruler Jiang family broke through Wuzun three months ago and opened a jade box that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family, so that he was able to learn this long-lost secret. ”
Jiang Tongqi said: "Where did that jade box come from?" ”
Jiang Qian's smile was a little unnatural: "That jade box was handed over to the ancestor of the Jiang family by the last head of the family seven hundred years ago, and ordered the ancestor of my family to keep it properly, if anyone in the clan can break through Wuzun, he will be able to open the jade box." ”
Jiang Tong looked at her meaningfully, and she always had a smile on her face, like she was wearing a mask.
The last head of the house was handed over to you for safekeeping? I'm afraid that I took advantage of the fire to rob and cheat or rob it from the head of the house, right?
But she didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "You can go on." ”
Jiang Qian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately she didn't continue to ask, the process of the ancestors of the Jiang family getting this jade box was indeed not honorable.
"According to the rules of the Jiang family, as long as it is the Jiang family, they have the right to go to the tomb of the god of war to worship." Jiang Qian said, "Our ruler Jiang family is now a big family among the descendants of the Jiang family, with a population of more than 700 people, and the ancestor jade box in hand, it is reasonable for our ruler Jiang family to arrange and preside over the sacrifice of the god of war and the succession ceremony of the new head of the Jiang family." ”
She took a closer look at Jiang Tong and saw that she was not angry, so she continued: "Your Excellency Jiang Tong, you are the descendant of the Jiang family, and you also have the family emblem of the head of the Jiang family in your hand, and you can be regarded as one of the candidates for the head of the family, so the ancestor sent us to invite you to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. ”
Speaking of this, she leaned forward slightly: "This is a major event for my Jiang family, and our Jiang family wants to announce to the entire Galactic Federation that we are back." ”
Jiang Tong was not moved by her arrogant words, and said lightly: "You have arranged a candidate for the head of the family?" ”
Jiang Qian said: "Our family has arranged three, and the Yingxian Jiang family has also arranged three, if Your Excellency is willing to go, there will be seven candidates this time." After a pause, she added, "In my opinion, your cultivation is the highest, and the opportunity is the greatest, if you are recognized by the God of War, in the future, I will be the ruler of the Jiang family, and the whole clan will serve you as the main and obey your dispatch." ”
Jiang Tong's heart was full of suspicions, it was impossible for the Jiang family to marry others, and there must be an inside story in it. It's nice to say, take her as the master, and take her as the head, provided that she is recognized. On the other hand, if the candidate of the Jiang family is recognized, wouldn't she also want her to serve him as the master?
It's so calculated. R1152
