Chapter 7: The Chamber
The Qin family's mansion is magnificent, although it can't be compared with the Xiao family, a big family that has been rooted in Aoki Town for hundreds of years, but in this Aoki Town, the Qin family is an out-and-out big family. Qin Shuai followed the third lady to the meeting hall of the Qin family, at this time the meeting hall was already full of people, and at the top sat a tall middle-aged man with a majestic face, wearing a brocade robe and slightly closed eyes. This middle-aged man is Qin Shuai's father, Qin Zongguang, the head of the Qin family. Speaking of Qin Zongguang's experience is also legendary, he came to Aoki Town with dozens of people from the Qin family more than thirty years ago, and gained a foothold in Aoki Town from scratch, and now, the Qin family has become one of the three major families in Aoki Town, and even stronger than the Duan family that has been in Aoki Town for hundreds of years. It's just that in Qin Shuai's memory, his father can be called extremely indifferent, he hasn't seen his father a few times since he was a child. Of course, Qin Zongguang was not only indifferent to him, but also similar to other sons, and the only one who could be together often was the Qin family's housekeeper.
Qin Shuai didn't think so much about it before, but now Qin Shuai feels that his father is a little strange. Qin Zongguang's strength is in the realm of the Demon King, and he is also one of the top ten masters in Aoki Town. The current Qin Zongguang is actually in his sixties, but he looks even younger than the third lady who is nearly forty years old. Although the strength of the magician is not ranked outside, it is a real master in this Aoki Town. It's just that in Qin Shuai's memory, his father has always been in retreat and cultivation, and even retreated to the point where he doesn't even care about the internal affairs of the Qin family, and only expresses his opinions on some major matters, if it weren't for the fact that he is the strongest in the Qin family now, I am afraid that the power of the Qin family will be lost. In fact, it's nothing to like retreat, after all, their Qin family is also a martial arts family, although it is only the smallest kind, but in the rivers and lakes, strength is everything, rather than working hard to drill the camp, it is better to directly suppress people.
But the problem is that Qin Zongguang has cultivated so hard for more than thirty years, but his own strength doesn't seem to have changed much, it's just a waste of time, he doesn't have the talent to understand, no matter how hard he retreats, he can't become a master. Below Qin Zongguang were several old men, the youngest of whom were in their sixties. These old men are all elders of the Qin family, and they are also the elders of Qin Zongguang, and they also hold some power in the Qin family. There are still some people standing beside these elders, these are just the stewards and stewards of the Qin family, and some of them are the descendants of these elders, and they also hold some of the power of the Qin family. In addition to these elders and stewards, sitting on both sides were Qin Zongguang's wives and Qin Shuai's two brothers. The eldest lady of the Qin family is said to have been born in a large family and married Qin Zongguang before Qin Zongguang came to Aoki Town.
Qin Zhan, the boss of the Qin family, is tall, and there is always a hint of arrogance on his face, he is also the strongest among the three brothers of the Qin family, and he has reached the Great Demon Master. And Qin Hai, the second eldest of the Qin family, was slightly thin, and he always had a warm smile on his face, but his gaze at Qin Shuai was with a hint of ruthlessness, obviously he didn't expect Qin Shuai to come back alive.
Qin Shuai walked in and saluted everyone in the conference hall: "I have seen my father, the eldest uncle, the third uncle, the seventh uncle, the eighth uncle, the ninth uncle, the eldest mother, the second mother, and the third mother." Qin Zongguang nodded lightly, but said lightly: "I'm back, go sit down." "He, the father, said that he had spoken, and as for Qin Shuai's five uncles, they didn't even raise their eyelids. They are two generations older than Qin Shuai, of course they don't care about him as a junior, the most important thing is that everyone knows what Qin Shuai's status is in the Qin family, and they don't need to care. Qin Zongguang coughed and said: "My Qin family has been in Qingmu Town for more than 30 years, and now it can be regarded as completely rooted here, the children have grown up in recent years, and several uncles are also urging, my Qin family, it is time to determine the position of the heir of this family first." ”
At this time, the eldest lady of the Qin family suddenly said: "What else is decided? Qin Zhan is the eldest son of the Qin family, and his strength is also the strongest, if Qin Zhan is not allowed to be the heir, who else can be the heir?" Hearing this, the third lady of the Qin family immediately sneered and said: "Eldest sister, what you said is not right, why can the eldest son inherit the position of the head of the family? Our Qin family is not a royal family, and the eldest son must be the eldest son to be able to inherit, look at the other martial arts families, the position of the heir of the head of the family has always been occupied by the capable." ”
The eldest lady of the Qin family showed a cold glint in her eyes and said, "You mean that my son is not as good as your son?" The third lady said unhurriedly: "I didn't say that, I only know that we are all women, and in these major matters, it is still up to the master to decide." Saying that, the third lady turned her gaze to the second lady: "Second sister, did you say it?" The second lady just smiled and said softly: "The slave family is just a female streamer, of course I don't understand these things, what the master says, that's what it is." ”
As soon as she heard this, the eldest lady's face suddenly turned pale. Although the second lady did not say it explicitly, listening to her words, it was obvious that she was on the side of the third lady. Qin Zongguang slapped the table and shouted, "Enough!" Seeing Qin Zongguang angry, several women stopped talking. Qin Zongguang rubbed his head with a headache, what he hated most was dealing with this kind of messy thing. "Don't say it, of course you have to think carefully about such a big matter as an heir, and several uncles are here today, and the rules are set here. In a year's time, Qin Zhan, Qin Hai, Qin Shuai, the three of you all hold a part of the family's business in your hands, whoever takes care of the family's business the best, the position of the heir is his. Our Qin family is so big, and the business is only so little, who has made great progress, you can see it at a glance. Speaking of this, Qin Zongguang glanced at the three brothers and said, "Although my Qin family is a martial arts family, because of your age, your strength is not included in the inspection for the time being, only your ability, can you agree?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the eldest lady and Qin Zhan suddenly became gloomy, Qin Zongguang was obviously favoring the youngest Qin Shuai, and with one sentence, he lost Qin Zhan's greatest advantage. The third lady smiled and said, "Of course I agree with what the master said. The second lady also followed: "The slave family naturally agreed." Only the eldest lady blushed and snorted coldly: "I don't agree! My Qin family is a martial arts family, and it is simply a joke to choose the heir of the family head without testing the strength!" Qin Shuai squinted his eyes and looked at the few people present, just through this conversation, he almost touched the personalities of the few people present. The elders of the Qin family were just decorations, and they had their own little calculations, but they didn't dare to disobey Qin Guang's intentions. And his eldest brother and eldest lady are both virtuous and arrogant, and no one pays attention to them. I heard that the eldest lady was from a big family, but now that she saw that it was like this, she dared to directly argue with Qin Zongguang. But it's stupid for her to do this, even if her family is big, this is not her family, this is Aoki Town, but the Qin family, she resists Qin Zongguang like this, it will only make Qin Zongguang more disgusted. Needless to say, the third lady was ruthless, her son Qin Hai was much shallower than his mother, and Qin Shuai could feel the murderous intent from him when he came in. The last second lady is a smart person, after the eldest lady and the third lady are old and decrepit, she is only loved by Qin Zongguang, and she is also harmless to humans and animals, but if she doesn't fight, she fights. As for Qin Zongguang himself, Qin Shuai could feel that his father was very afraid of trouble, even if he kept saying that choosing the heir of the head of the family was a big deal, but in the end, he still seemed to have some feelings of distraction. This made Qin Shuai a little strange, could his father really be closed off and enchanted, and even behave so perfunctorily for such a big thing?
At this moment, the eldest lady of the Qin family suddenly said: "Qin Shuai, although you are a concubine, you are also the heir of my Qin family, what do you think of what the master said about this matter?" The eldest lady also knew this, and she raised her eyebrows proudly towards the third lady. But who knew that Qin Shuai smiled at this time, and arched his hand at Qin Zongguang and said: "How dare a child have an opinion on what his father decides? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. The eldest lady and Qin Zhan both looked at Qin Shuai in disbelief, especially Qin Zhan, but he remembered that this kid had always been a follower behind his ass in the past, and now he dared to go against him? She can now be sure that Qin Shuai should know what he designed to kill him, but even if he knew this, he was still on his side, what did Qin Shuai mean?
In fact, Qin Shuai's meaning is very simple, he is a dignified hell ghost king, although the position of the head of the family is too low, and he can't look down on it, but he also wants to fight, standing on the side of the eldest lady, he still fights for a fart? At this time, even Qin Zongguang looked at Qin Shuai with a surprised expression, he felt that this son, whom he had always ignored, seemed to be a little different from a year ago, was there such a training in the Nanshan mining area?
