Chapter 978: Ascension Banquet
On January 3, just after the holiday, Cheng Fengyin was supposed to return to Pengcheng to work at this time, but she didn't have to return to Pengcheng today, because today was the day she was promoted.
Cheng Fengyin tried his best to take charge of the family, Cheng Fengyin is the head of the new generation of the family, no one can deny this, no matter how reluctant the old man of the Cheng family is, this fact cannot be changed, because the white-headed acupuncture is in the hands of Cheng Fengyin.
However, having the name of the head of the family does not mean that there is the fact of the head of the family, and the old people of the Cheng family can take Cheng Fengyin very lightly on the grounds that Cheng Fengyin is too young.
No, Feng Yin didn't seem to care about this, she was too young, and she thought that as long as she could ascend to the throne smoothly, she would be able to control the power of the entire Southern Medicine King Palace. Since she likes this false name, the old fritters of the Cheng family don't mind playing games with her.
So after arguing for a period of time about the promotion of the head of the Nanyao King Palace, a compromise was suddenly reached, and the posts inviting the Xuanmen colleagues to observe the ceremony were sent out before the year.
Yaowangzhuang is an industry purchased in the early days of the Nanyaowang Palace, not a good feng shui, but set up a feng shui bureau by himself, and then bought the surrounding land to plant medicinal herbs, over time, a village was formed here, mainly with the surname Cheng, and there are also people with foreign surnames to live, but Yaowangzhuang refers to the large courtyard surrounded by a wall, and only the core members of the Cheng family can live in it.
Yaowangzhuang is a family-owned enterprise integrating planting, storage and processing, and on the hillside behind Yaowangzhuang is a continuous warehouse and factory building. The whole Yaowangzhuang is perennially filled with a fragrance of Chinese medicinal materials. Between the lodge and the factory. There is a large field. A long time ago, it was used to spread and dry medicinal herbs, and even now, when the weather is good, it is full of medicinal herbs.
However, today, this huge venue is full of cars, and the Xiangjiang Xuanmen colleagues have basically sent people to come, those who are close to each other have sent some high-status people to support the scene, and those who are far away have sent some young disciples to fill the scene, and by the way, they have also made friends with some colleagues.
The ceremony was held in a small square in the village, and a platform was erected in the middle of the square. There is an altar and a large chair on it, and behind this not too high platform is the main hall of the Nanyao King Palace, which is the ancestral tablet and the position of the Medicine King.
Around the square, there is a slip of awning, with chairs and coffee tables in the front and benches in the back, so you can only carry the tea yourself.
Since nine o'clock in the morning, guests have already arrived, and in order to show respect for the guests, Cheng Fengyin personally took the elders to greet them at the door. greeted each other one by one, and praised each other for a few words.
Although the name of the Southern Medicine King Hall is not too big. But after all, it is a place to treat diseases and sell medicine, although everyone is a monk, but who can guarantee that he does not have a disease, even if he does not have it, can his relatives be immune to all diseases? Therefore, fellow Xuanmen people will more or less give some face to the Southern Medicine Palace.
The first guests were led to the pergola in the courtyard to sit and drink tea and eat snacks, the snacks were ordered from the nearby teahouse, the taste was quite good, the tea was the good tea of the Cheng family, everyone chatted and fart, but did not feel that the time was sad.
In the direction of the gate, from time to time there is a welcome roll call, every time at this time, everyone will involuntarily quiet down, listening to which colleague is coming, so as to judge the relationship network of the Nanyao Palace, and even see more things in the Xiangjiang Xuanmen, this seemingly boring occasion, in fact, is a place with a considerable amount of information.
The location near the west is the worst, because the morning sun just shines in, and when you look up, you will be pierced by the bright sunlight and can't open your eyes, so the people who are arranged to sit here are all small sects whose status is not as good as the Nanyao King Palace, and even the three-sect and ninth-rate characters who run the single gang, the Nanyao King Palace has always been kind to people, so these people can also be at the guest seat at the promotion banquet of the Nanyao King Palace.
"I heard that no, the new head of this Southern Medicine King Hall is only in his early twenties, and he is still a girl, you say, is this Southern Medicine King Palace about to decline? Don't even have a decent man left? ”
"Cut, you don't know this, the palace of the king of southern medicine has always been virtuous and not a successor, this new head of the family is called Cheng Fengyin, don't look at her young age, but she has the inheritance of the Cheng family's secret technique of white-headed acupuncture, so she can only be appointed as the head of the family."
"Huh? And what about her future marriage? ”
"I can't get married, I can only recruit a son-in-law, and what age is it now, it's nothing to come to the door."
"That's the same, if Brother Ren is willing, he can fight for thirty years less!"
"Haha, I think so, I'm afraid that people won't look down on me, a lonely ghost who runs a single gang."
"Don't dream, even if you marry her, you will be just as aggrieved in the future, you look at the current situation of the Cheng family, the old man is still there, and the young lord is promoted, isn't it clear that you want to play an overhead puppet game, in the future, the Cheng family will fall apart if it is not good, and the worst of them is of course this little girl."
"Huh? You are old, please tell me carefully. ”
The man took a sip of tea proudly and wanted to raise his head, but when he looked up, his eyes were stabbed by the sun, so he coughed dryly and said: "You're polite, I don't dare to take it seriously, it's just some shallow opinions." You think, when the old head of the Cheng family was there, he was in charge, and all the elders of the Cheng family were actually his sons and nephews, so naturally no one was dissatisfied. But the old man died suddenly, and the power in the hands of these clan elders has not been collected."
"Wait, why take the power?"
"You don't understand this, people from big families will understand that when power is handed over, it is best to take down all the people who were in power before, which is called a son of heaven and a courtier, and these deep-rooted people in the province will not be able to get rid of it. And now this Cheng family is a big situation. What's worse is that this puppet head of the puppet family has to bear the infamy after a bad decision, otherwise, do you think these old guys would be so happy to agree to let a young girl in her early twenties ascend to the throne? ”
"I see, I've seen it!"
"Diao, it turns out that these wealthy families are so dirty! Fortunately, Lao Tzu is a lonely ghost, free and uncontrolled. ”
"You know. That's what power is all about. The relationship with the family and Mao. I think you just can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour. ”
"Grass, you dare to arrange me, you have the ability to go out and see the real chapter!"
"Okay, don't make any noise, there's a distinguished guest here."
"How do you know?"
The man pointed around, only to see that everyone around had already stood up, it turned out that they were chatting lively just now, and they missed the sound of signing up just now.
"I've seen Master Fang. Summer girl! ”
At this time, about two or three hundred people spoke together to salute, and the scene was quite shocking.
Soon the group crossed the aisle in the middle and came to the awning at the front, against the east.
Everyone in the west asked: "Who, with such a big face, the Cheng family's waist can't be straightened up!" ”
"Idiot, I don't even know the Fangshi Fang Sect!"
"Fang Dazong? No way! This Cheng family is too powerful, how could they be invited to watch the ceremony? ”
"Grass. Don't tell people that you know me, I don't even know that the new head of the Southern Medicine King Hall is a student of Mrs. Fang Dazong. ”
"Isn't that a rumor?"
"Is it still a rumor? It turned out that this Cheng boss actually had such a hard backstage. Now the elders of the Zicheng family have fun watching it. ”
As the guy who ran the single gang said, now the bowels of the Cheng family's elders who regret it are going to be green.
The first thing to regret is that they should not agree to Cheng Fengyin's request for promotion, at that time, everyone thought that Cheng Fengyin loved vanity and did not understand the sinister power struggle, so they changed their minds and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to empty the head and make this stupid head their puppet and shield.
The second thing to regret is that you shouldn't listen to rumors, thinking that Cheng Fengyin can enter Xia Yuyao's research institute because of another chance, but ignoring the real relationship between Cheng Fengyin and Xia Yuyao, and now they are extremely passive.
Although they all had flattering smiles on their faces, they had already scolded Cheng Fengyin, who was very tight-tongued, in their bones, and some people even felt that Fang Shi's hand was too long and too nosy.
It's a pity, no matter how dissatisfied they are now, things can't be changed, this inconspicuous little girl easily tricked the old people of the clan into applause, to be honest, although they have a lot of dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts, but it is undeniable that they also have a sense of relief and honor in their hearts, after all, it is a good thing for everyone that the Nanyao King Palace can produce a genius.
The only thing they want to lose may be the power in their hands, don't look at this gradually simple thing, but quitting the erosion of power is actually better than quitting drugs. The erosion of the product is more difficult!
Fang Shi and Xia Yuyao sat down with a smile, the little girl in charge of the tea stepped forward to serve tea a little nervously, Xia Yuyao and Fang Shi thanked softly, the girl was flattered and her face was flushed, and she almost tripped over herself when she retreated.
"Fengyin, you go and get busy, just let your elders greet us."
Cheng Fengyin bowed to the teacher and Fang Shi very obediently, and then took the two old men on duty to the front door.
Fang Shi glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please sit down, Fengyin is a good girl, we are both very optimistic about her, I believe that under the leadership of her and you, the Southern Medicine King Palace will definitely be able to create a new situation." ”
Everyone smiled and said yes, but they all began to calculate in their hearts, wondering what Fang Shi meant by this.
In fact, Fang Shi's words are very easy to understand, he and Xia Yuyao are here to give their students a town.
"Feng Yin once told me about the disadvantages of the family-style sect, presumably you are all smart people, and you also know the truth that flowing water is not rotten, although the family-style sect also has a long heritage, but few can always be brilliant, out of a talent, the sect may flourish for a period of time, if you accidentally have a mediocre talent, maybe the whole family will be over. Therefore, Feng Yin proposed to reform the Southern Medicine King Palace, I personally feel that it is very necessary, with Feng Yin's courage, there must be no lack of determination and means. Of course, this is also inseparable from the support of the clan elders, to put it bluntly, I came today to support her, so as not to miscalculate the accounts when you weigh the gains and losses. ”
Fang Shi's words were not loud, so the people under the surrounding pergolas couldn't hear it, but the few Cheng family elders present heard it clearly, they could guess the meaning of Fang Shi's father and mother, but Fang Shi said it so unabashedly, it was still a little shocking.
