Chapter 42 pretending to be a grandson is a trivial matter
Wanzhang Mountain is located in the easternmost part of Fengrui City, the capital of Liuguo County, it is like a straight giant sword straight into the sky, looking at Fengrui City with a permanent population of more than 10 million people from afar.
It is also the ancestral home of the six families of Rokkoku-gun.
On the day of the cataclysm, it was here that the ancestors of the six great families established the first gathering place for disaster victims, and used it as a base to develop and establish each of the six countries.
It was also here that they made a covenant and formed the Six Friends of the Nation.
Since the establishment of the Six Friends Kingdom, the six major families have established six large-scale palace-style manors on this Wanzhang Mountain.
Of course, it has been 2,000 years since the counties of the six countries were re-annexed to the Chinese government. A lot has happened in the past 2,000 years, and the other five major families except the Cao family have all moved out of Wanzhang Mountain, and the ancestral mansion on Wanzhang Mountain is now only used occasionally as a courtyard.
At the top of Wanzhang Mountain, the giant mansion no less than a small city belongs to the Cao family.
For the descendants of the Cao family, this mansion is the source of their pride and a symbol of their former noble family as the lord of Liuyou County.
At one time, they were the only royal family in these six friendly countries, and the other five families were just some big nobles.
In the deepest part of the manor, in the palace hall, the current head of the Cao family, Cao Qilin, nervously looked at the old man who was closing his eyes in front of him.
The old man was short and stocky, with almost no hair, his head was large and round, and his forehead was unusually prominent.
The old man was sitting upright on an antique chair in the middle of the house, and there were two cats in the old man's arms.
One white, one black.
The white body was a little bloated, and its eyes were half-closed, as if it was closing its eyes to recuperate.
The other one was black, with piercing eyes, long, pointed ears, and a thick tail that wagged confidently.
The old man's wrinkled hands gently stroked the two cats up and down, as if he was afraid of hurting them.
At a glance, he looks like an old man with a kind heart and good deeds.
But Cao Qilin knew very well that this old man could not match his kindness at all.
Just an hour ago, he was only the fourth son of the Cao family, a gentleman who had some talent in business but lacked the strength to be known.
But an hour later, he became the master of this huge Cao family.
It's just because of this old man's fluttering words.
This is Cao Ge!
The ancestor of the Cao family with the highest rank and the most powerful strength!
A true mid-level king!
And the head of the Cao family before him, his eldest brother and his family members are now on their way to a border city in Liuguo County.
Bean-sized drops of sweat seeped out from Cao Qilin's forehead.
Although he is now the head of the Cao family, there is no joy in his heart at the moment.
He didn't know exactly how long this ancestor had lived, but he was well aware of the fact that at least six of the heads of the family had been deposed in family records because of this old man who seemed to be kind.
It can be said that he is the real master of the Cao family.
"Are you scared?"
The eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, and the old man stopped the movement of his hands and gently put down the two cats in his arms.
The sound is not high, and it is also full of magnetism.
But listening to Cao Qilin's ears made him infinitely frightened.
"No... Not... Nope..."
said no, but the slightly trembling body had already shown the panic in Cao Qilin's heart.
The old man stared at Cao Qilin tightly, at this time he was in good spirits, his eyes were focused, and he did not have any old appearance.
"Hey! This is the future head of our Cao family..."
The old man suddenly sighed and said softly.
"Old... Old Ancestor!"
Cao Qilin's face changed drastically, and he became even more panicked.
"There's no need to be afraid, I just sighed, and I didn't mean anything else."
The old man waved his hand.
"I chose you as the head of the family, and I know very well what kind of character you are."
The old man paused.
"What? Do you think my punishment for your big brother is too severe? Or do you think I'm a bit moody and hard to get along with? ”
"Don't dare, Kirin don't dare!"
Cao Qilin's anxious tears were about to fall.
"It doesn't matter!"
The old man waved his hand.
"Know why I left you alone?"
The old man asked again.
"This... Do you want to show me how to be a good head of my house? “
Cao Qilin thinks left and right, he is neither smart nor can he do it, and his only advantage is that he is more obedient.
Thinking about it, this old ancestor must have taken a fancy to him as the head of the family.
Now the old man must be ready to remind him and let him understand the situation.
So what are you waiting for? Show your loyalty!
Ancestor! Don't treat me as the head of the house!
I'm a dog under your old man's hands!
If you like, it is a cat too.
I'll go wherever you tell me to go, and I'll do whatever you tell me to do.
You're always pointing.
"You are the head of the Cao family, how the Cao family should be managed should be up to you, what else do I need to guide you?
Besides, the old man, I'm also old, and I want to live two more years, and I'm too lazy to bother with so many things.
I have been in retreat for more than 10 years since your eldest brother was the head of the family, and I have never interfered in the daily affairs of the family. “
"Yes, yes, what you said, Ancestor!"
Cao Qilin nodded.
That's right, it's true that you've never interfered in the family's day-to-day affairs, but as soon as your old man intervened, you dismissed the eldest brother's head of the family and sent the family to the border city to defend against the invasion of the Jedi.
Thinking of the fate of his eldest brother's family, Cao Qilin felt that his legs were straight and weak.
That's a serious life of nine deaths!
But even so, he still looked at the old man with a smile on his face.
He has long been familiar with this set, and no one in the entire Cao family is better than him.
"Do you know why I removed your eldest brother's head of the house?"
The old man leisurely moved his muscles and asked slowly.
"Because he caused Lin Qiyue to make a big trouble, and Lin Qiyue made a big fuss about the Cao family?"
In fact, Cao Qilin wanted to say that it was because the eldest brother was too high-profile and didn't take you seriously, but he still changed his words.
"Lin Qiyue? Is this a nuisance? ”
Unexpectedly, the old man scoffed at this.
Why is Lin Qiyue not a trouble? When Lin Qiyue entered the Cao family that day, I didn't see you being able to take him down.
Thinking so in his heart, but his mouth kept saying yes, yes, yes, nodding respectfully, and looking at the old man with admiration.
For the matter of pretending to be a grandson, no one in the entire Cao family is more familiar with him than him.
