One hundred and sixteen chapters
"Can you help me? How can it help? Lan Xin was stunned, after operating for so many years, although there were some close clan children around him who were willing to follow him, but that little bit of power was placed in the big melting pot of the Lan family, I am afraid that it would turn into scum at the same time as it was thrown in.
"I heard... Among the 'son' of the Lan family, there is also a third master, Lan Zitao, and Lan Zitao also has a son, who happens to be ranked in the 'Tian' generation..."Lan Xiyue asked, "Do you know all these things?" ”。
Lan Xin smiled and didn't answer, it made no difference to him whether he knew it or not. He was just carrying out the instructions of the eldest young master of the Lan family before leaving, doing his part well and playing his role well, and he didn't bother to think about other things that were not within his ability.
"Are you not prepared at all? If... What about an accident on a cloudy day? Lan Xiyue asked dissatisfiedly, "Aren't you afraid that someone will threaten your position as patriarch?" ”。
Lan Xin sighed, and then shook his head self-deprecatingly, "My patriarch's position? Would you believe me if I said that? ”。
"Dad... What do you mean? Lan Xiyue was surprised, "You want to give up?" No, absolutely not! The Lan family is now something that you hold in your hands, as long as you don't let go, do they really dare to grab it? ”。
"The world is sinister, and people's hearts are unpredictable!" Lan Xin sighed rather tiredly, "The result of the struggle for power has brought endless killing to the clansmen, and compared with the future and fate of the clansmen, money and power are actually not so important, giving them... And how? ”。
"No! If you are tired of your lack of ability, you can pass the seat to me..."Lan Xiyue put down the cup in her hand and stood up, and said to Lan Xin, "I am your biological daughter, and it is logical for you to pass the seat to me!" I've already talked to Ji Lang, and he didn't object...".
Lan Xin looked at the motherly expression on Lan Xiyue's face, and couldn't help but feel an unspeakable sour feeling in his heart, he knew that this daughter was spoiled by him.
Because of Yu Jing's matter, he has always felt that he owes it to this child, so he has been coaxing and protecting the child as much as possible since he was a child. Who knew that the result of this was that Lan Xiyue mistakenly thought that she was the heroine who could override others and trample everything under her feet, at least she herself had always thought so.
Lan Xiyue saw Lan Xin's expressionless face, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and be a little unhappy, "What, you don't believe me?" Don't you believe that I can convince Ji Lang to help me, are you worried about this? ”。
Lan Xin just sighed again, but still didn't say anything.
"Actually, it's Liu Feng helping me!" Lan Xiyue explained proudly, "You also know that the relationship between him and Ji Lang is like that of father and son, and he treats me... You know those things, too. With him helping me, don't you believe me? ”。
Lan Xin's gaze swept over Lan Xiyue's face and looked out the window, and it was still pouring rain outside. Although the sky was still very dark, there was a trace of dawn that pierced through the dark clouds and sprinkled into the somewhat bleak courtyard.
It's dawn!
Lan Xiyue saw that Lan Xin had always been an evasive attitude towards her proposals, and couldn't help but ask with some annoyance, "What are you still afraid of?" If you don't want to be the patriarch of the Lan clan, I can totally...".
Lan Xin couldn't help but sigh again, stood up and wanted to look at the window to see the specific situation outside. But when he passed behind Lan Xiyue, he suddenly raised his hand and slashed at her neck, Lan Xiyue was slightly stunned and slipped down the tea table just as she wanted to turn around.
"Alas!" Lan Xin helped her to his bed, covered her with a quilt, and then couldn't help but sigh, "Child, sooner or later you will be killed by your own ambition...".
The position of the mountain behind the Dharma Temple near the peak is the ancestral hall of the Lan family, the ancestral hall covers a large area, in addition to the main hall and the east and west side halls, there are also some wings that collect and place the portraits and relics of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and the repair and construction of the Lan family for several generations is also quite large-scale.
The heavy rain is still pouring down, and the hall of worship is also brightly lit, although the weather is still extremely bad, the important members of the Lan family still overcome many difficulties, and almost all appear on time in the main hall by the acting patriarch Lan Xin to preside over the blessing ceremony.
Lan Ming has turned around several times and didn't see the person he was looking for, Lan Ziqian was accompanied by Lan Zitao's father and son into the ancestral hall, last night they also lived in the temple at the foot of the mountain in advance, and this morning they came to participate in the celebration together.
Lan Ziqian made a very grand introduction to the 'third master' Lan Zitao father and son as the fourth master of the Lan family, Lan Ming couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard two sentences, what his father said was extremely gorgeous and flattering, and said that Lan Tianhong was more divine and perfect than the eldest young master Lan Tianxing, and it was a unique precious species in the Lan family.
Lan Zitao's father and son solemnly worshiped the ancestors of the Lan family in the surprised eyes of everyone, and they can be regarded as officially recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors. In the future, they will also regard themselves as the Lan family, and use this identity to walk around the rivers and lakes with the backstage.
Ji Lang and Zhang Zhihuan were watching from the wall the whole time, although they were also standing in this hall, they were not surnamed Lan, so they didn't have much say in the affairs of the Lan family, they just had a good time to watch.
Gu Liang hadn't woken up at Cheng Nan's house yet, and he didn't want to participate, Cheng Nan stood in the corner of the hall in a regular manner, Lan Yuan yawned and leaned against the offering table to play with his mobile phone, and several representatives of the Lan family's foreign clans, seeing this meeting, they also gathered together and whispered, it seems that most of today's celebrations are going to end without a problem.
Lan Xin sat in the patriarch's seat and watched the various performances of the people but didn't say anything, that is, he didn't come forward to stop the bad behavior of the clansmen, and he didn't want to continue the ceremony, as if he was a passerby who came in to hide from the rain.
Not only did he not bother to do half of the majesty and cohesion of the patriarch and the most basic maintenance of order in the venue, is this a yin to be replaced?
Xiang Guang came a little later, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw some chaotic scenes inside. However, he and Lan Xin are still very familiar, so he came over directly to have a few chats.
The people with foreign surnames who can stand in the main hall and participate in the Lan family's ancestor worship are almost all relatives of the Lan family except for Ji Lang, and Xiang Guang's mother is also the eldest lady of the previous generation of the Lan family, and she is Lan Zipeng's cousin. Because of their similar age, they often cooperate with each other, and they also have a bit of friendship with each other, and more than 30 years ago, when Young Master Bao Lan Zipeng went to the tomb to find the antidote to the 'Seven Dead Flowers', the buddies he brought were Xiang Guang and Lan Xin.
"New brother, this is... What's the situation? "Xiang Guang is a very quiet person, and he has always spoken very simply.
Lan Xin smiled helplessly, and replied more simply, "Wait to see a good show...".
Lan Ming never saw Lan Ruo's mother and daughter and Fang Yining, and he searched all over the hall but couldn't find them, and just wanted to call to ask about the situation, he was patted on the shoulder by someone, and Lan Ming frowned in disgust before he looked back.
"Second brother, I think we brothers should have an open and honest talk..."Lan Tianhong said and handed over a gift bag, and he could clearly see that it contained a very delicately made women's earrings.
"Huh?" Lan Ming stretched out his hand and snatched it, although he didn't go home often after marriage, Fang Yining was his wife after all, and he still knew what kind of jewelry his wife was wearing.
"I love my wife so much?" Lan Tianhong was quite satisfied with his performance, and whispered again, "Now the second brother should know, why don't those masters speak?" ”。
