Chapter 326: An Unexpected Decision
Xu Ning felt a little unnatural, especially when he sat down next to his grandfather, looking down, it was the first time that he was stared at by so many people of the same clan, and their eyes were strange.
"Grandfather, I'd better go back to my place, it seems a little inappropriate?" Xu Ning said in a low voice.
"Hey, it doesn't matter, I have something to announce in a moment!" Xu Aotian's expression was a little excited, not at all like an old man over seventy, the smile on his face deepened a little, and his beard kept shaking.
"This ......"
Seeing that the people were almost here, the lights were on, and bursts of fireworks began to appear in the sky above Qingfeng City.
The winter solstice is the first festival in winter, and people who have been busy for a year naturally want to celebrate!
"Everyone, it's almost enough, this is a family feast, don't be bound by etiquette, do it quickly! Ha ha! ”
Xu Aotian stood up and shouted, his voice was like a bell! The servants arranged the wine, meat, vegetables and vegetables, and hurriedly retreated to the bottom of the feast.
It was full, there were three or five hundred people sitting on both sides, and the most advanced ones were of course Xu Aotian's grandsons, women could not come on this occasion, and the inferiority of men and women was still obvious in this place, especially on formal occasions.
There were also blood relatives of the Xu family, elders of various ethnic groups, relatives and friends, etc., looking at the full crowd, Xu Aotian couldn't help but sigh.
"At the end of the year, another year has passed, and although the Xu family has experienced a lot of things at the end of the year, they have spent it safely with the help of all of you! I salute everyone again, and do it first! ”
Sure enough, he is a bold person. Xu Aotian raised his head and drank a cup of spicy warm wine!
The rest of the people naturally did not dare to slack off, and drank the wine in their hands one after another.
"Haha! Good! Xu Aotian waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, but pulled Xu Ning up beside him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Xu Ning, the son of Lao Jiu, I think everyone is familiar with it!"
From the very beginning, everyone wondered, why did the old man just bring Xu Ning with him? Could it be that something important is being announced? Some people are worried that if the next heir is announced on this occasion, the hope will be completely dashed!
But it's impossible to think about it!
Not to mention Xu Ning's identity as a grandchild. He still has the men of his father's generation on his head. It will not be his turn to inherit the throne. If you want to inherit such a big family business, you must make some contributions!
The Xu family's family has a big business, and people work hard outside to earn it, and whoever wants to become the master must pay a price. Xu Ning's father died on the battlefield for the honor of the family. This is a classic example. And Xu Aotian's other sons did not participate in the war of the empire. But in various places to manage a huge family business.
Those soul control talismans, beast spirit crystals, martial vein vitality pills, and so on. Although they are very valuable, it is still an empty phrase that no one will run them. As for the rest of the family, they have fulfilled their obligations to protect the Qilin Mountain Range, mine minerals, and process them!
And Xu Ning. It's just a yellow-mouthed child, why sit back and enjoy it!
So Xu Aotian pulled Xu Ning to stand up happily, and the people below couldn't help but clench their fists and clench their teeth!
"Although Ning'er is the youngest of her peers, she has suffered much more since she was a child. Lao Jiu died on the battlefield for the glory of the Xu family, which is the pride of the whole clan, and the Dongzhou Empire compensated the Xu family for purchasing soldiers from the Xu family to treat and replenish blood pills, and has accumulated a lot of wealth over the past few years, which is obvious to everyone. ”
Xu Aotian said, his eyes were a little red, and a lot of white steam erupted between his snorts.
There was a faint commotion below, and the atmosphere became even more tense.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Ning Er obtained the martial vein by chance, and then his strength continued to increase, because he did a lot of things in Rashomon, so the Xu family has a close relationship with the big sect of Rashomon, and his power continues to increase! For a variety of reasons, Lao Yu wanted to take this opportunity to announce something, which could be regarded as a consolation for Lao Jiu's spirit in the sky! ”
Everyone's hearts are on their throats!
Xu Ning didn't feel any joy, but felt very awkward, because his grandfather had never mentioned his mother Ye Ru from beginning to end. In his mind, any status and power are nihilistic, and family affection is the first.
"I'm old and don't have much energy, I plan to let Ning'er manage the internal affairs of the family from today onwards, I wish you a hand!"
"Wow!"
There was an immediate response from the crowd in an incredible wave! Xu Ning was also stunned, his grandfather's decision was too unexpected!
Xu Aotian said it easily, but the people listening below were not easy. Although he is not the heir, everyone is relieved, but what is "managing the internal affairs of the family"? Could it be that from now on, all matters within the six resides of the Xu family will have to ask Xu Ning for instructions?!
Even if you do it, you will get a certain amount of rights! Wouldn't the person who didn't deal with Xu Ning before be unlucky?! Many people frowned, but they didn't dare to refute.
Xu Aotian's temper is understood by everyone, he said that soliciting opinions is actually announcing the results, and those who oppose it will not end well.
And this is also a common method in all big families, otherwise so many people, without some assertiveness and tough measures, I am afraid that they would have been in chaos a long time ago.
Xu Aotian saw the people below bustling, his face sank, with a hint of displeasure.
"What, do you have any opinions?!"
The sound was not loud, but it was full of majesty, and soon it was quiet all around.
"Old patriarch, your vision is naturally right, Ning'er is definitely up to this task!"
For a long time, an old voice came from the end of the banquet, his tone was steady, and there was no attitude towards inflammation.
When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be the licensed elder of the Xu family, who was called a "good old man".
As his name suggests, he is allowed to do anything, and others ask him to "permission" for everything, so he has the nickname of "good man".
"Hmph, what a peacemaker, isn't it uncomfortable for you to sit so far away and talk? Just climb to the front! A sarcastic voice came.
Xu Aotian's face that had just turned calm suddenly became ugly, this sentence was not said to Elder Xu, the implication was that he was sarcastic about his decision.
When I looked up, it turned out to be Xu Wuyan. Xu Aotian's brows furrowed at that time, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
The night of the winter solstice was supposed to be a family reunion, but Xu Aotian didn't send someone to ask Xu Wuyan. If he had been a little interesting, he wouldn't have come here to join in the fun.
"Say no words to my father!"
Raising his head, he looked at Xu Aotian with a lonely and unruly look, his eyes turned to the side slightly, and he glanced at Xu Ning with hateful and vicious eyes!
"Oh." Xu Aotian simply agreed, very unhappy, neither let people prepare a seat for him, nor let him stay, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
Xu Wuyan stood alone in the center of the banquet, silent all around.
If it's a smart person, or a person who still needs a little face, he will go down in a gray way. Anyway, Xu Ning felt uncomfortable for him when he looked at it.
But Xu Wuyan didn't leave, stood up, looked around, and his expression gradually became smug and arrogant.
"Father, I have come to take the liberty of bothering because I have come to tell you something very important. Unfortunately, I just heard you announce that you will let Xu Ning assist you in managing the Xu family, please allow me to interject, the child thinks it is inappropriate! ”
"Hmph, I'm going to make a decision, is it your turn to give advice?" Xu Aotian raised his head slightly, looking at his third son impatiently.
Now that I think about it, I really don't know what I did in my previous life, and I have such a vicious son!
"Father, I know you have prejudices against me, but this time, I'm for the Xu family's family rules!" Xu Wuyan said coldly, not caring at all about Xu Aotian's cold attitude.
"House rules? Hmph, you also deserve to talk about house rules! ”
"Since my father taught me, I have been familiar with the family rules of the Xu family, and what I committed at the beginning was: fratricide and death under the knife!"
"It's not too late to know now, fortunately, Tianyang's life was saved! Otherwise, even if you are my own son, you will not be an exception! Xu Aotian said coldly.
At this point, there's no need to hide it! Xu Wuyan's informant almost killed Xu Tianyang, few people talked about it publicly, and now it seems that Old Man Xu is really anxious.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Xu Tianyang is just a side branch, and they don't understand why Xu Aotian is so angry. In fact, the most critical problem lies with Xu Ning, because the ultimate goal of repeated actions is aimed at Xu Ning.
The revenge of killing the son is not shared!
"Father, I'm not here to discuss this old account with you! Xu Tianyang didn't die after all, I was also kicked out, and the matter was already over! Now I want to ask you, old man, what will you do if something happens that kills your blood relatives of the same clan! ”
Xu Wuyan turned around suddenly, his tone became cold, and the respect in his eyes just now was swept away, but there was more hatred!
The love between father and son has long been wiped out in Xu Wuyan's mind!
His gaze stayed more on the seat behind Xu Aotian!
Hmph, for so many years, I have worked for the Xu family before and after the saddle, but I am not as good as a dead Lao Jiu, and his little evil seed! Old thing, you're a little too biased!
Xu Aotian's whole body trembled, and it was difficult to ride a tiger in the current situation. He pointed at Xu Wuyan with his fingers trembling and said, "Get out!" ”
"Father, it's not appropriate to rush me out before the matter is finished!"
Xu Wuyan's eyes were gloomy, and he gritted his back molars and said coldly. I have already made up my mind in my heart to take advantage of the large number of people to dare to step down this old thing!
As long as I sit in the position of the patriarch, the black can become white! Overweening!
Careerists have a common problem, that is, arrogance, but unfortunately this arrogance rarely lasts long.
"What else do you have to say? Nobody wants to hear that! ”
"It's better to hear it!" Xu Wuyan said coldly, waving his hand outside!
The corners of Xu Ning's mouth hooked up a sneer!
What is due is always coming! (To be continued......)
