Chapter 400 Preparing for a Rainy Day (Part I) (2nd Update)

(Thank you Thirteen Bodhi, I have a dream reward, thank you for your support!) In addition, this week's 'fine' Hua has been sprinkled out, some red tickets, rewards, and monthly tickets are supported, and the 'fine' Hua will be made up next week, so please understand! )

Yang Wu's life is actually not very easy, although he has always had a laissez-faire attitude towards 'Hua' Hate Liu, Yang Jian and others, but it is only out of consideration for them to experience outside.

However, one thing must not be forgotten: he is just a person after all.

It's a human being, and it will feel tired, and it will grow old slowly, sometimes when you see the excitement around you, you will feel a little desolate when you are alone, and sometimes you will desperately find something to do in order to prevent this, not to forget anything, just to think about something unhappy.

According to this state, sooner or later he will not be able to hold on, and sooner or later he will fall ill from overwork. But fortunately, he is a strong man, and for ordinary people, the strong man is not only strong, but also has a good health - just like Yang Duan, in terms of generation, he should be the grandfather of 'Hua' Hate Liu, Yang Jian and others, and Yang Wu's uncle, who is now more than eighty years old, but his body is still very tough, ⊕ every day, m. red face, drinking, playing chess, walking birds, fishing, life is not comfortable.

Except for the occasional bad weather, his stomach was a little uncomfortable - it was the result of the wound caused by the killers attracted by Yang Jun, Yang Min and others when he entered Xizhou City, and he didn't feel that the burden on his body increased after he was re-elected as the patriarch of the Yang clan. On the contrary, because he had regained such a respected identity, the 'private' matters that he obviously hated but had to deal with in the past were now all thrown to Yang Jiuguan by him, which was of unusual significance to the other elders of the Yang clan!

Could it be that just finding someone to help you deal with your 'private' affairs has so much meaning in it?

After all, the Yang family is different from ordinary people's families, and the old man Yang is not an ordinary family patriarch, Mo said that he entrusted his 'private' affairs to Yang Jiuguan to take care of, that is, one day he suddenly stopped walking birds and fishing, I am afraid that it will also attract many people's speculation, worried about whether there is any major problem in the clan.

When a person's status is high enough to attract attention, the habits of some 'private' people cannot be easily changed, the royal family has always been like this, and the Xizhou Yang family now has such a growth trend.

Speaking of "'private' affairs", for Yang Duan, the so-called official affairs refer to the overall affairs of the entire Yang clan, and the 'private' affairs are the affairs of his Pingcheng clan, who is Yang Jiuguan? Although it is true that he is a member of the Yang clan, don't forget that the foundation of Yang Jiuguan is not in Pingcheng, he is from the branch of Sifang City!

Therefore, at this time, can the old man still treat the "private" matter to him as a general matter? Naturally, it can't! Faintly, it seems that the old man already has the meaning of 'handing' Yang Jiuguan to Yang Jiuguan together with Pingcheng!

It's just that this is already a very earth-shattering move, but the significance of Old Man Yang's move is not only this.

He was conveying such a thing to the people of the Yang clan in the entire Xizhou: He, Yang Jiuguan, is the person I have chosen.

The implication is that he is his successor - not only to take over Pingcheng's class, but also to take over the entire Yang clan's class and the entire Xizhou class.

The old man doesn't care what outsiders think, he only cares about what two people think - in fact, even if these two people clearly disagree with their ideas, the old man doesn't care.

When people are old, they always have to seize the time to let 'sex' be.

"I have no opinion on Elder En's thoughts." Looking at Yang Duan, who was waiting for the two of them to answer, and then at Yang Jiuguan, who couldn't make up his mind with a wry smile, the corners of Yang Wu's mouth curled up slightly and said.

"Oh, you think my idea is good, too?" Hearing someone praise his thoughts, the old man was happy, and handed Yang Wu an apple on the table as if rewarding, leaned in front of him, and continued: "Let's talk about it in detail, what's so good? ”

"It's good to plan ahead." Yang Wu's face was slightly stunned, but fortunately, he had experienced a lot of such things, and it was not difficult to make up and sell now.

"Polite words will be said by everyone, you are not 'blinded' by my old man, are you?" Shoved the apple into Yang Wu's hand, the old man pretended to be displeased.

"Elder En, you have wronged me...... Yang Wu has known Yang Duan's spleen since he was a child, although he later cut off contact with Yang Duan because of his revenge for studying martial arts abroad, but when he returned to Xizhou, the first person he trusted without hesitation was Yang Duan, and Yang Duan did treat him as his own son and gave him a lot of support.

"Uncle...... I don't think it's ...... It's not appropriate......" Yang Jiuguan gritted his teeth, knowing that even if he said his thoughts at this time would make the old man unhappy, he had to say, if he didn't say it today, it would be useless to talk about it after the matter was settled!

"Fart!" Before Yang Jiuguan could say the reason why he felt inappropriate, the old man glared at him, picked up the tea bowl on the table and fell to the ground with a "snap".

"Fart!" As if he was not puzzled, the old man scolded again: "I didn't say anything, what did you say?" Before, Yang Wu, this kid, praised me for this idea...... Didn't the two of you agree in the past? Why is it different when it comes to this matter? Or do you see that I'm old and dying, and what I say is useless to you, isn't it? You're not against this, you're against my old man, and you want to rebel against me before I die, right? You said! ”

"I ...... I ......, "How Rao Yang Jiuguan is a person who is admired by She Qing, at this time, in front of the old man, there is no trace of the usual steady and wise appearance, especially after the old man's repeated questions, it is even more difficult to argue: I haven't said anything, you have begun to talk about your life and death...... What else can I say? Say what?

"I, what am I! Shut up first and listen to Yang Wu! Waving his hand, the old man shouted to Yang Wu irritably: "You come and continue to talk about what you didn't say just now." ”

"Yes." Yang Wu responded in his heart, and carefully pondered the meaning of the old man's words: if he praised "good ideas", the old man would elaborate; Yang Jiuguan said "it's not proper", and the old man scolded directly without even asking...... In this way, it seems that today's so-called "discussion" is just a formality, the old man has made up his mind in his heart, he is afraid that he wants Yang Jiuguan to know that this matter is not a so-called "idea" of consultation, but a "decision" that must be accepted!

Knowing this, combined with the old man's "talk about what he didn't say just now", where did Yang Wu still not understand the old man's intentions? He let himself be a lobbyist, and his real purpose was not to listen to his praise of "wise decision-making", but to persuade Yang Jiuguan to "accept reality".

"As I mentioned earlier, this is actually a way to prepare for a rainy day." Putting down the apple in his hand, Yang Wu calmed down and said: "Long before the last clan meeting, there was already such a voice in the clan, saying that it would be a matter of time before my Yang clan became a royal family. ”

"This ...... There is a lot of talk in this clan, and now such statements are even more blatant, I still know it. Yang Jiuguan didn't expect Yang Wu to aim at himself in the direction of persuasion at the beginning, and after being slightly stunned, he could only answer with a wry smile.

"Yes, to say something boastful, there is nothing wrong with outsiders talking like this, according to the current trend, sooner or later, my Yang clan will one day reach the top of the world, and ...... will be overwhelmed with one hundred " A trace of arrogance flashed on his face, but Yang Wu asked with a worried face: "But Jiuguan, have you thought about it, if it really comes to that day, it will be the day when my Yang clan reaches its peak, and it will definitely be the time to be destroyed!" ”

"You mean...... Like the royal families of previous dynasties, will they always walk into that strange circle? Yang Jiuguan's face changed slightly. As soon as he said this, his expression became much more solemn, and he put aside what the old man had just scolded him in his heart, as if the only thing that could attract his attention at this time was the matter of the clan.

Hmph, old man, I fancy you this, you don't want to take it, but you don't know that in your bones, you have already destined this huge stall to be picked up!

Yang Duan watched him and Yang Wu enter this state of selflessness for a while, and couldn't help but look proudly from the sidelines: I didn't make a mistake when I looked at Yang Wu more than 20 years ago, and I will naturally not be wrong when I look at Yang Jiuguan more than 20 years later.

Yang Jiuguan didn't know that his performance at this time had strengthened the old man's determination, the "strange circle" he was talking about was a "curse" of clan development that all the royal families of the previous dynasty had experienced - once he became a royal family, no matter how vigorous the clan was before, it would slowly begin to wither, not only men, but even 'female' sons, all of them would be less than one generation, some died at birth, and some were due to various accidents: assassination, war, fighting, and even illness, violent death, and even falling, Choke and pretend...... will all die.

The most vivid example is the Shu Dynasty closest to them, the Song clan was so prosperous before the establishment of the Shu Kingdom, if there is no support from the family, it is impossible to lay this great country, and there is a chance to become a royal family. But after all this generation, what now? The first emperor Song Yuanxie didn't say anything, he didn't even have a single heir, it was the original side branch, and now there are only two people left, Song Changgong and Song Jixu, and the degree of withering is no less than the extinction of the clan.

If the Yang family wants to become royalty, then there is at least one thing they must be prepared for: either they already have a way to avoid falling into this strange circle; Or, they already have the consciousness that their clan will wither or even decline.

If you don't find such a way, or if you don't have such an awareness, then it is better to put your mind away as soon as possible and choose to continue to defend this state alone, or choose another faction, enjoy the wealth given by others, and watch other people perish.

It is a matter of life and death of the clan, and Yang Jiuguan has to pay attention to it. It's just that when he looked at Yang Wu with a solemn expression, he found that Yang Wu was not as nervous as him.

On the contrary, he seemed to notice that the corners of Yang Wu's mouth were slightly upturned, as if he had become a bamboo in his chest......;
