Chapter 14 Annual Meeting
The days passed, and seeing that the New Year's Festival was coming, Murong Lan did not come out again since he entered the Wenjing Building. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info In the hall of the Murong family, the children of the Murong family have all arrived to discuss the gains and losses of this year and how to spend the upcoming New Year.
"Xiao Wu didn't come out when he entered the scripture building, big brother, this is not in line with the family rules, last time it was because we misunderstood him, so let him meditate inside, I didn't object. But this time, ....." Murong Xiong was the first to speak, and he actually said this.
"Needless to say, let's talk about our family's achievements this year. Murong Ying interrupted his younger brother's words.
The people below have been complaining about the family master's arrangement for Murong Lan to enter the Wenjing Building this time, but the family owner made it clear that he didn't want to talk about it here, so he didn't dare to make more trouble before the New Year's Festival.
"Let's start!" Murong Ying suppressed the voices of everyone below and announced the start of the clan meeting.
Murong Lie fought first: "Let me first talk about the results of our Murong family's cultivation this year: my generation, there has been no progress in strength, and everyone has focused on the operation of the family, but the third generation has made great progress in this year, and the only regret is Murong Lan, who has been in a coma for three months." After speaking, he glanced at the empty chair behind Murong Zhan, "However, Murong Zhi has also entered the eighth layer of qi refining, and has stabilized. Speaking of his son, Murong Lie showed a proud and kind gaze, "The most gratifying thing is that Murong Chong, the youngest in our Murong family, has cultivated to the sixth layer of qi refining, showing no less potential than Murong Lan, and the future is immeasurable; The last person, Murong Xiaoxiao, has also been promoted to the fifth level of qi refining, speaking of Xiaoxiao, I want to say a few more words. After speaking, he looked at Murong Xiaoxiao.
Murong Xiaoxiao looked at Murong Lie's gaze and felt apprehensive. "Xiaoxiao, it's not that I said you, others don't learn, you have to learn Xiao Wu, learn from him and don't practice the exercises, how many times have I told you, his experience is different from ordinary people, so the cultivation method is also different. Unless you are also struck by lightning like him, Kaichun hurriedly chooses the door to practice well. Murong Xiaoxiao listened to the lecture without saying a word, and lowered her head to her chest.
After speaking, Murong Lie sat down. "After the eldest brother finishes, I'll talk about it again," Murong Zhan got up and said, "The detailed incident that the family has made this year is worth pondering. Since then, a few more detailed works have been found, but it is not certain whether all of them have been found, so everyone should still be careful about their words and deeds, and do not give the enemy a chance. Of course, this is only temporary, and we will find out all the details. Now, I have canceled the Blood Guard, and I will re-establish the Blood Guard after the investigation is clear. Murong Zhan sat back in his chair after speaking.
Murong Sheng then got up: "On my side, as in previous years, I only strengthened the defensive array, but because we lacked a good formation inheritance, we could only increase the number of formations to strengthen the defense. In addition, none of the activities such as sacrificing the gods have fallen, and I believe that the gods will still bless my Murong family as always. ā
After Murong Ying's three sons finished speaking, Murong Xiong's son, who was sitting opposite, began to speak, first of all, Murong Jian: "This year's shop is operating very well, in this regard, I want to praise Lan'er, if it weren't for him, not only would we not be able to afford the loss of that attack, but the goods in the autumn season would be out of stock, not to mention the exchange meeting held later." Murong Jian's face was happy and a little emotional, "Many of the goods this time are scarce things that we are currently scarce, so we have very good profits this year, and I hope we can organize more caravans like this next year." ā
"This shouldn't be a problem," Murong Yi got up and said, "I already went to the City Lord's Mansion the day before yesterday to give this year's New Year's gift, because the goods from the merchant this time are very good, so the New Year's gift is also better than in previous years." Therefore, the city lord is very supportive of goods like ours. Moreover, our relationship with the Su family is getting closer and closer, and they start to inquire at the beginning of winter, asking when we will organize a big caravan again. Murong Yi turned around and picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and continued, "And there is good news, three of the people I sent overseas brought back news that at least four of the Sea Tribes on the islands are willing to trade with us. As long as we establish two trade channels, our variety of goods will increase greatly, making my Murong family the largest merchant in Qingyang City in one fell swoop!"
"Okay, very good! Our Murong family's fortune is getting better and better, I believe that soon Lan'er will also give everyone a surprise." Okay, let's go to the back for dinner, this year's dinner is the best in the past few years!" Murong Ying didn't give everyone a chance to discuss Murong Lan, and directly ended the annual meeting.
After a hearty meal, the crowd returned to their courtyards.
"What do you mean, old man, is it determined to pass on the position of the head of the family to Xiao Wu?" Murong Zhi returned home, and when he entered the hall, he smashed the table in the hall.
"Zhi'er, how can a Dao heart like you achieve great things!" Murong Lie walked into the hall and saw his son venting, so he scolded, "Hmph, next autumn will be the family competition, as long as you defeat Xiao Wu, everything will change, you don't understand this truth, and you are so impatient, it's not like words!"
"Yes, father. I knew I was wrong! But I was also on the eighth floor of Qi refining, so why did my grandfather turn a blind eye to me! He also let Xiao Wu enter the Wenjing Building twice. That asks the scripture building......"
"The Question Building is just a symbol. You know what's inside, and no one knows the ancient characters. You won't learn much by going in. You intensify your cultivation, and although it is difficult to go any further at the moment, you can't relax. As long as you go further, you will not only become the first person in the Murong family, but also the first person in Qingyang City!"
"Yes, I see, father, then I'll go back first. After Murong Zhi calmed down, Shi Li retreated.
Murong Yue looked at her father and brother, hesitated slightly, but still didn't say anything, gave a salute, and turned to leave.
The New Year is coming, but Murong Lan still has no intention of coming out. Early in the morning, Murong Ying came to the scripture building: "Lan'er, how long are you going to stay? Without waiting to enter the Wenjing Building, Murong Ying opened his mouth and shouted. But what is puzzling is that there is no response inside. Murong Ying was shocked: "Lan'er won't be unconscious again!?" Thinking about it, he spread out and rushed into the building.
When entering the scripture building, the situation in the building made Murong Ying's jaw drop in shock: "This, this has been robbed!?" The whole scene was like being raided, the bookcase was overturned, and the books were thrown away in piles and piles, and the ground was full of scraps of paper like ghost drawings. Look at the head again, one by one, the silk threads of various colors, like woven spider webs. At this time, Li Zhong ran over: "Patriarch, you are here." ā
"What's going on here? Is Lan'er in there?"
"Patriarch Hui, the young master is inside, he must be asleep, the young master hasn't slept for a long time. Li Zhong didn't dare to raise his head, and stood behind to answer.
"Why is that?" asked Murong Ying.
"This little man really doesn't know. It's been almost two months since the young master came in, and at first the sleeping food was normal, and then it became more and more strange. I informed the second master, and the second master came to ask, and the conversation with the young master showed that the young master's thoughts were not abnormal, so he didn't make a loud noise. But in the past few days, the young master has been writing and painting continuously, and he has never rested. I persuaded the young master, but the young master refused to listen, so I thought, go to inform the second master today, I don't want the patriarch to come early in the morning. ā
"Well, you go down, this matter does not have to be said with others. I'll go in and take a look. ā
