Chapter XVII

"This time the clan conference is held, and everyone knows that the head of the family is newly mourned, and the top priority is to choose a family head who can take charge of the affairs of the clan......"

"The second boss laughed, how can the position of the head of the family be chosen at will. After the head of the family has it, according to the rules of the Qin Mansion, it is naturally succeeded by Young Master Yaming, how can you say that it will be elected?" Before Qin Hakama finished speaking, an elder of the clan retorted loudly.

"That's true, but at the moment, Yaming feels that he is not qualified for the position of head of the family, so he discussed with me in private, saying that he does not want to succeed the head of the family, if not, how dare I be so reckless. The second master replied.

"Eldest young master, you said, is what the second master said true?"

"Yaming, you say, don't you?" As soon as the elder finished asking, Qin Hakama followed closely and asked. There was a strange look in his eyes, clearly threatening Jamin.

โ€œ...... Be. Yamin said helplessly. Yesterday, there was also a discussion of countermeasures, and a few people thought that Qin Hakama would have to find someone to inform him, but they never imagined that Qin Hakama had no intention of finding Yaming at all, and directly held a clan meeting.

"Young Master, the big things in this clan are not trivial, and the matter of succeeding the head of the family is not a child's play, why are you unwilling to succeed the head of the family, there should always be a reason, right?" The words stirred up a thousand waves, and after everyone calmed down a little, an elder stood up and asked.

"I ...... I have never taken care of the affairs of the clan, I left the ice city at the age of sixteen, whether it is the relationship of the clan or the business, I am very unfamiliar, no experience, so I still decided not to succeed the head of the family, leaving this important position to someone more experienced and more popular. "It was supposed to be a temporary decision, and Yaming thought for a while before he said quietly.

"Young Master, you don't have to worry about this. In the past, it was not that the Qin Mansion did not have such a precedent for you, not to mention far away. Isn't the master of the Douhuang Mansion also temporarily taking over the Douhuang Mansion, and now that the Douhuang Mansion is already known as the number one force in the camp, what does the eldest young master have to worry about?" Seeing that Yaming's reason was far-fetched, another elder persuaded.

"But ......"

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and since Yamin doesn't want to succeed the head of the family, why bother asking for it. Since Yaming has no intention of succeeding him, how can we make it difficult?" Before Yaming could answer, Qin Hakama had already retorted loudly.

"Second master, you are also highly respected in the clan, but you can tell me, if there is a successor, is there a precedent for the Qin Mansion to skip the successor and choose another family head?" Seeing Qin Hakama speak before Yaming, the elder of Fang Cai asked sharply.

"Nope. But there is no successor in the Qin Mansion who went to the Second Academy of the Imperial Capital to be a proton, there is a precedent for everything, how can you create the future if you don't break the tradition?" Qin Hakama quibbled.

"Second master, what you said is not right, there is indeed no precedent for a successor in the Qin Mansion to go to the Second Academy of the Imperial Capital to be a proton. However, because of this, isn't Master Yamin's virtue something to be admired? and how can it be confused with nonsense such as breaking with tradition. It is true that you can't create a future without breaking with tradition, but excellent tradition. But only by inheriting it will there be a way out. I'm afraid there are other plans for what the second master just said?" the elder asked meaningfully.

"Yaming, tell me, what do I think?" Seeing that the three elders were all pointing the finger at him, Qin Hakama threw the question at Yaming again with some difficulty.

"Seven Elders, Nine Elders. Thirteen Elders, I really have no intention of succeeding the head of the family, even if I become the head of the family, if I leave all the problems to the elders of the clan, what difference does it make if I have a head of the family or not. If I am asked to take care of the affairs of the clan, I am worried that the reputation of the Qin Mansion will be ruined, so it is better to let an elder who can take over the position of the head of the family. "Being coerced by Qin Hakama, Yaming said against his will.

"What is the eldest young master talking about, how can it be possible to give up the position of the head of the family to others, there is no precedent for the head of the family to give way in the Qin Mansion, you have not succeeded the head of the family yet, how can you be so hasty?" the seventh elder said hurriedly.

"Seventh Elder, don't force me when you get old......"

......Seeing Yaming's pained expression, the three elders really didn't know how to dissuade Yaming, so they all fell silent at the moment.

"Since Yaming doesn't want to be the head of the family, then please ask the elders to nominate and see who else is suitable to succeed the head of the family?" Although I don't know what happened to Yamin, today's decadent situation is obviously not from Yamin's original intention, seeing that the situation has turned down, Yafeng got up and asked as if announcing that he was going to snatch the position of head of the family.

"Since the eldest young master is unwilling to succeed, it is natural that the second master should take over as the head of the family. The second head of the family is the younger brother of the head of the family, according to the rules of the Qin Mansion, if the head of the family has no heirs, it is naturally inherited by the younger brother, which is feasible. And at present, the affairs of the Qin Mansion are all handled by the second master, and it makes sense to say that the second master should naturally succeed the head of the family. As soon as the elder who supported Yaming was silent, the supporters of the second leader on this side immediately jumped out and said. Hearing one's own person speak so reasonably. Qin Hakama nodded proudly, very satisfied with his own speech.

"What the Fourth Elder said is not quite true, right? You said that the affairs of the Qin Mansion are all handled by the second master, then I have to ask, who is in charge of the affairs of the Qin Mansion in the imperial capital, and who is in charge of the affairs of the Qin Mansion in Haicheng? The eight main cities, except for the Ice City, are all in charge of Young Master Yafeng alone, how did you come here and erase all the credit of Young Master Yafeng?" the other elder retorted.

"Sixth Elder, you have been away all year round, so you naturally feel that foreign affairs are important. However, without the supply of nutrients from the rhizomes, how can there be luxuriant branches and leaves, in the final analysis, no matter how prosperous the external affairs are, they are inseparable from the support of the Qin Mansion clan, only if the internal affairs are mastered, the external affairs can have room to play, and the six elders are so upside down, how can they convince the people of the Qin Mansion?"

"Great Elder, the so-called meritocracy, since Young Master Yaming is unwilling to succeed the head of the family, it is natural to elect a family master who is qualified for the position of the head of the family and can lead the Qin Mansion to a more prosperous place, the second master has really done his best over the years, but for so many years, the Qin Mansion has still been the same for thousands of years, and there has been no improvement, but in terms of foreign affairs, since Young Master Yafeng accepted it, whether it is business or the contact of various networks, it has been greatly improved than before. A prosperous scene, if the head of the family is elected, at least in terms of talent, it is more thoughtful. โ€

"Sixth Elder, Young Master Yafeng has made a lot of contributions to external affairs, but external affairs are different from internal affairs, which have undergone three thousand years of inheritance. The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, if you want to make a breakthrough, how can it be achieved in one sentence, and it is not easy for the second master to be able to take care of the housekeeping in an orderly manner. It's Young Master Yafeng, this foreign affairs are different from internal affairs, and one person is urgently needed to stabilize the situation in the Qin Mansion at the moment, although Young Master Yafeng is very proficient in external affairs, but in terms of internal affairs, to be honest. There is not much difference between Young Master Yafeng and Young Master Yaming. If the Qin Mansion is still stable, it is not a good thing for Young Master Yafeng to succeed him, but now the situation of the Qin Mansion can only be stabilized by the second master. The Great Elder retorted.

"The so-called second master can control the scene, I'm afraid it's a pretext from the great elder, right? Which head of the family is not succeeded in this situation? And which head of the family is not from this situation, the Qin family has a great business, and no matter how capable the head of the family is, how can he take care of it, and it is not dependent on the support of the elders in the clan. Why didn't it work when you got to Young Master Yafeng?" the Ten Elders also joined the argument.

"Ten Elders. You have a point, but have you ever thought about who should take care of the external affairs if Young Master Yafeng succeeded him as the head of the family? If there was no person in charge to take care of the external affairs, wouldn't the external affairs be in chaos as it is today? โ€

"Yafeng, you can tell me. What do you think of the position of the head of the family?" Seeing that the scene was gradually chaotic, the party Qin Hakama asked Yafeng.

"Hehe, I was going to give it to Jamin. But Yamin doesn't want to, so I naturally want to take back the position of the head of the family. Although Yafeng is the eldest son of the uncle, there is one more thing that I am afraid everyone has forgotten, I am the eldest grandson of the previous head of the family, and I naturally have the right to inherit the head of the family. โ€

"Eldest grandson, you think far enough, the tradition of the Qin Mansion has always been the inheritance of father and son, or brother and brother, you have been separated by three generations, do you still want to inherit the family business?"

"Second uncle, what you said is not right. In terms of identity, there is no difference between the two of us. The Qin Mansion does have a tradition of brotherhood, but don't forget the premise of this matter. The eldest uncle still has a son of Yamin, if Yamin is not willing to inherit it, then there is no so-called tradition of brotherhood and brotherhood, right?"

"But the internal affairs of this Qin Mansion are complicated, and you have no experience in handling internal affairs, how to deal with it?"

"The second uncle is too worried, and there is a first time for everything to do. At that time, I inherited my father's foreign affairs, and it was only two years before I entered the regular service, and now it has only been five years, and the annual profit I have created has been 20 percent more than before. โ€

"Sure enough, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, how can this internal affairs be compared with foreign affairs, three thousand years of foundation, do you think you can move it if you want to?"

"Pedantic, old-fashioned, unwilling to look forward, you older generations are already stereotyped. The so-called 3,000-year-old inheritance is nothing more than wishful thinking. Three thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Qin family started with medicinal materials and rare commodities, and now they are involved in a vast field, if the ancestors have been sticking to the foundation of three thousand years, how can they achieve today's glory? Now that the second uncle is more than eighty years old, if one day he accidentally follows in the footsteps of the eldest uncle, how will he clean up the mess of the Qin Mansion that is left behind? Moreover, after the second uncle returns to heaven, should the position of the head of the family be inherited by Yayu of the second uncle's family, or should it be handed over to Yaming?" Yafeng smiled wickedly and asked.

โ€œ......โ€

"Yafeng, what are you talking about!" Seeing that Qin Hakama was so overwhelmed by a sentence that he didn't even have the strength to refute, an elder scolded with some disdain.

"Fourth uncle, although my words are not good, but it is a real problem in front of you, Yaming doesn't want to inherit the position of the head of the family now, but after the second uncle returns to heaven, if Yaming suddenly wants to inherit the position of the head of the family, what should he do?" Yafeng asked seriously.

"Big brother, I won't take the position of the head of the family, big brother should not get involved in the affairs of the head of the family, the foreign affairs side cannot do without you now, even if you succeed the head of the family, what should the foreign affairs side be?" Yaming persuaded.

"But ......"

"It's nothing, right now, except for the second uncle, no one in the Qin Mansion can afford to be the head of the family. Yamin interrupted.

"Well, if that's what you think......" Yafeng said sharply. But for Yaming, there was nothing to do, seeing Yaming's pleading look, where could Yafeng still make up his mind, sighed, and said.

"That is to say. The second head of the family will succeed the head of the family?" Seeing that Yafeng had given up the right to compete for the head of the family, the Great Elder asked while the iron was hot.

โ€œ......โ€

"It's better to hold off for a moment. Maybe we were too anxious, we only went out of the funeral yesterday, and the eldest young master didn't adjust his thoughts today, plus the eldest lady was also kidnapped by gangsters, the eldest young master was afraid that his brain was a little messy for a while, and the head of the family should make a decision slowly. Give the eldest young master some time first, let the eldest young master calm down, if he doesn't want to be the head of the family after that. Wouldn't it be better for us to let the second master succeed to the position of head of the family when the time comes?" Seeing that the conspiracy of the second master was about to succeed, the seventh elder suggested.

"It's true, it's really a little hasty today, I originally wanted the Qin Mansion to have a person in charge as soon as possible, but I didn't expect to ignore the feelings of the eldest young master, the seventh elder said it well, I also think it's better to take this matter slowly and then take care of it." Seeing that the Seventh Elder said this, the Sixth Elder also said smoothly.

"That's according to the two of you. How long should I delay?"

"......" was questioned by the Great Elder, and the two didn't know how to decide for a while. They looked at each other and couldn't give a satisfactory answer.

"Two days later. Two days later, there will be another meeting, and everything will be decided in two days, what do you think, elders?" was the scene, and Jamin suddenly replied in a sonorous voice.

"Two days, two days, two days. Yafeng, what about you?" Qin Hakama frowned. I couldn't figure out what the meaning of the time given by Yaming was, but thinking that Li Chengfeng would not come back in three days, he didn't think too much about it, so he agreed.

"I don't have any opinions, and I don't compete for the position of head of the family. It doesn't make much sense to me anymore when to decide. As long as I don't delay five days later, I will return to the imperial capital to deal with affairs. Yafeng said indifferently.

โ–กโ–กโ–ก

"Second uncle. After the meeting ended, Yaming called out to Qin Hao, who was about to leave.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just wanted to tell you something. โ€

"Oh?"

"Did you see it today?" asked Jamin.

"What do you want to say?"

"Although I don't know about the affairs of the Qin Mansion, I have the right to inherit orthodoxy, so what I say carries more weight than anyone else. โ€

โ€œ......โ€

"Including Brother Yafeng, who is also my person, so if I don't agree, you have no chance of succeeding the head of the family. โ€

"So what?"

"I just want to tell you that I can give you the position of the head of the family, but Yayue you have to give me back the original. Yamin threatened.

"Are you threatening me?"

"You can also understand it this way, what you want and what I want are just a fair deal, as long as I don't nod, no one wants to take away the position of the head of the Qin Mansion. โ€

"Don't worry, all I want is the head of the Qin Mansion, Yayue is also my niece, I won't treat her badly. However, before I succeed as the head of the family, I have to be wronged by Yayue to stay with me for a while longer. โ€

"Two days! When the clan meeting is over, you give me back Yayue, and everything is already settled at that time, and there should be nothing to stop you, right?"

"When I ascend to the position of head of the family, I will naturally let Yayue come back to reunite with you. โ€

"Two days! If I don't see Yayue after the clan meeting is over, I'll do it at my own risk. Zuo Congrong's name, I believe that there is no one in the entire camp of aristocratic families who don't know, right? I'm not interested in the position of the head of the family, but if someone does something to Yayue, I will make him worse than dead. Yamin repeated again.

"Two days, if I can't sit in the position of the head of the Qin Mansion......"

"I'll let you sit on it. Jamin replied categorically.

โ–กโ–กโ–ก

"Uncle. โ€

"What's wrong? โ€

"Everyone is a little tired these days, can you slow down the trip and go back within three days, the trip is more tense than these days. Most of the sect members are at the level of enhancers, and if you continue to rush like this, I'm worried that everyone won't be able to bear it. Purple Pupil asked.

"Do you think I don't want to? The ice field commotion has just subsided, and I don't know if everyone is tired, in terms of the level of the enhancer, the dry food can still last for more than ten days, if there is no emergency, how can I not know that everyone will slow down the trip. Li Chengfeng said helplessly.

"Uncle is saying...... , what about the new funeral of the head of the Qin Mansion?" Zi Tong asked tentatively.

"Yes, Yaming left the Qin Mansion when he was a teenager, and he has hardly lived in the Qin Mansion since then, and now that Qin Chu has just had an accident, I am afraid that Yaming's child will be bullied by the clan alone. No matter how you say it, he is Qin Chu's son, but he can't watch him do anything again. Li Chengfeng sighed and replied.

"Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? The rules of the Qin Mansion are complicated, and Qin Yaming is also the orthodox heir of the head of the family no matter how he says, can anyone still do anything to him?" Zi Tong asked with some confusion.

"You're wrong. If he is just an ordinary young master of the Qin Mansion, then I have nothing to worry about, it is because he is not in the Qin Mansion all the year round, so his name as the heir makes people feel that his reputation is in vain, at this time, ......"

"Uncle, there's an accident in the Qin Mansion. Li Chengfeng was about to explain, when Li Xuetong suddenly walked over and said.

"What's wrong?"

"Qin Yayue was kidnapped!"

"What?" Li Chengfeng exclaimed. (To be continued.) )
