The news of Chen Ji's return only spread in a small area, and the Songxi Chen family sect branch is not a real division now, of course, the head of the house is listed, counting Chen Xiushi's long house, there are still three rooms, there are too many twists and turns here, Chen Ji really doesn't want to get involved.

It's just that about the old mansion that fell under his father's name, he originally used it as a note to borrow money from Dengzhou Qianzhuang, but he didn't want to hear about it later and take it out of the clan as an inheritance to help some descendants of the clan who were in difficulty.

Chen Xiujie mentioned this matter, and he nodded roughly. It's just that in the initial agreement, there are conditions for check-in. At the moment, there are some clansmen who are "depending" and will not leave.

Chen Guo talked to Chen Ji, and he generally didn't want him to be too impatient.

Chen Ji said: "This matter is a breath in the family, it is the house of the long house, the situation was special in the past, there is no committal for that statement, now that I am back, I have to make a yard for me, right?" It's a two-entry mansion, so don't you live in both? ”

"Although there is no one to maintain the yard over the years, the people who live in it want to take advantage of it and steal things from the outside, which is a common thing. Each house sweeps the snow in front of the door, and part of it will be demolished every year for renovation. ”

Chen Ji rubbed his brows, "This is a little difficult to do." ”

"The house itself was also left by the ancestors, when the second grandfather took out some silver and put it down, the clan gave a low price, which in the eyes of some clansmen, it is tantamount to the second grandfather eating the public property of the clan, and now they are doing this, but to make up for it."

"Hey, I didn't expect it to be so complicated."

"The family is big, there are many people, it is not practical to be completely fair, and many clansmen are really not enterprising, and the family is thinking of affection, so as not to be too harsh, they will pull down their faces and reach out to ask."

"In other words, it's like dying outside, and when you go home, you'll be an uncle?"

"Pretty much."

"Does this count as eating inside and out?" Chen Ji paused and asked, "Let's not talk about the real estate, who is planting the land in my father's name in the clan?" ”

"Uncle took out part of it to the clan at the beginning, and the rest was basically in the hands of Sanfang."

"Donated to Ethnology?"

"Not really."

Chen Ji sighed, "It's all troublesome. I don't hide it from the fifth brother, many things I did in Dengzhou in the future may affect the interests of some people, and there will probably be people who want to make some small moves through the clan, so it is necessary to take care of the affairs of the clan. ”

Chen Ji raised his tone, and then laughed, "These people are usually nothing, and they will die at a critical time." ”

Chen Guo nodded, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Make a thorough cut."

"Can you cut it clean?"

"There's nothing you can't do. If I wasn't worried that my uncle would blow his beard and beat me, I would have wanted to get myself out of the Songxi Chen family, and the so-called barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes......"

Chen Guo had a black line, "I must give you a family law." ”

Chen Ji smiled bitterly, "That's why it's difficult." Fifth brother, you have a flexible brain, help me figure out a way. ”

Chen Guo said helplessly: "I still have schoolwork, and I'm very busy."

…… Chen Ji stayed in Songxi, and now that he has the status of a showman, he doesn't have to go to the clan to listen to classes. It's just that every day, when the old master invited by Chen Xiushe gave Chen Guo a few lessons, he added a desk to him. This was a bit different from what he had imagined at the beginning. It's just that I don't know the specificity of Chen Xiushe's temperament for the time being, and I can also take the opportunity to touch the bottom of these junior students of the Chen family, since I already know what I can't change, I might as well change my consciousness.

In the next few days, peers from each room of the Chen family came over one after another, and Chen Ji really didn't have much to say, and when Chen Guo introduced him, he also understood who those people were.

In a town not far from Songxi, Chen Ji made an appointment with a few familiar Chen children, which was regarded as a drinking party. After this period of time, he roughly figured out some superficial grievances and hatreds. At present, around him, they are all clan disciples who are close to the long room, and those who have not come here are all a handful of people who are mainly in the third room, and they have found it good over the years, and they already have the confidence to wrestle with the long room, but the third room is pressed by the master, and he is unwilling to be too big with the juniors of the long room, so this is "nothing to do".

The elders in each room may still have many "scruples", but they are a little dissolute when they are placed on the juniors. The problems that have arisen several times are not intentional by some elders. As for the matter of Chen Ji's old mansion, it was also a temptation, and then it was probably embezzled.

Chen Ji's wine game today, I won't have to come up with any conspiracy against the third room. Chen Xiujie had already sternly warned him before he came over, in matters related to the clan, he could not come brutely. It's not that I'm worried that Chen Ji will suffer, nor is it that I care about the clan inheritance, it's just that I hate the trouble, and I just feel disgusted in the end.

In addition to Chen Guo, Chen Shi, Chen Hui in the long room, there are still a few cousins in the second room, and the most strange thing is that someone in the third room also came over. As for Chen Ji catching people and making jokes for a while, they explained vigorously, and their necks turned red.

After the drinking party, everyone went back. On the way, Chen Jin, who was in the third room, deliberately landed beside Chen Ji, and stopped talking several times. In the end, he also asked: "Brother Xi'er, what are you going to do about the old mansion this time?"

Chen Ji pretended to be surprised, turned his head to look at Chen Guo, and said, "Since there is a charter in the clan, I will wait." Of course, I also know the difficulties of your uncles, and of course I have to help those who can, but when I come back this time, I should stay for a while, and I can't stay at the fifth brother's house all the time, so I still hope that my uncles can also understand my difficulties, at least give me a place to stay. ”

Chen Ji smiled, "Although they are all left by their ancestors, it stands to reason that as long as the descendants of the Chen family are eligible to live in it, but since my grandfather has already made a deal with the clan, I should have the right to say something." ”

"Well, I'm afraid it's not easy." Chen Jin took the call, there have been many things in Sanfang over the years, and it is indeed a bit excessive. It's just that from his point of view, he is not qualified to say anything, and no one will listen to what he says.

Chen Ji was puzzled, "That's not easy to get." When the time comes, I will also look into my brother to help him move with affection and reason. ”

Chen Jin shook his head.

Chen Ji raised his hand and patted Chen Jin, and said, "Let's go."

Turning his head, he said to Chen Guo: "I heard that there is a Chen family manor in Songxi?"

Chen Guo nodded and said: "There is such a place, but most of the business has been managed by three rooms over the years, and Zhuangzi is also managed by them."

"That's right."

Chen Jin chased after him and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Chen Shi, the head of the long house, walked back, probably because he saw that they had fallen too far away, and he was worried that there was an argument.

Chen Ji said a few words, dispelling the other party's doubts.

Chen Shi is not much, he won the last session, and he is still a little famous in Dengzhou, and this time he was called back by his family, in fact, it was also to teach experience to several younger brothers. The reason why I agreed to Chen Ji's invitation was fundamentally because I was worried that Chen Ji would be bullied when he first arrived.
