Chapter 103 Fulfillment of Agreements
Back at home, it was already deep, the night market had already closed its stalls, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Rong and Li Wushuang approached the gate, but found that the courtyard of their home was full of large and small gift boxes, and there was no place to put their feet.
Some of the boxes were accidentally kicked over by the subordinates, spilling the herbs, scrolls, gold and silver inside.
"What's the matter, the family went to rob?" Li Rong shook his head, looking strange.
Li Wushuang has seen much more of the world than Li Rong, and she said with a smile: "These are not robbed, they should be congratulatory gifts from those big and small forces in Jiangcheng to you and your family." ”
"Congratulatory gift? That's a big deal. Li Rong smiled.
"This is nothing, Jiangcheng's first martial arts assessment, you won the first, you will be vigorously cultivated by the Chu State in the future, and the future is limitless, if these people don't curry favor with your family at the first time, you will soar in the future, will you remember who they are?" Li Wushuang said.
Li Rong stopped talking for a while, in the previous life, he was crowned the king, and the scene was much better than now, but at that time he was the king, and it was normal for some people to stutter, but now it is just the first place in the township-level martial arts assessment, just a false name, and there are actually people who give gifts, he is a little strange for a while.
"Young Master Rong, Miss Wushuang, you are back, the master has ordered, let you go directly to the council hall when you come back. Li Song saw Li Rong and the others from afar and beckoned to them.
"Uncle Song, what's the situation?" Li Rong wanted to probe the situation.
Li Song said with a red face: "Young Master Rong, this time you won the first place in the Jiangcheng martial arts assessment, and you gave our Li family a prestige, and even the city guard came to congratulate him in person, and this matter must be rewarded." ”
Li Rong nodded, although the Li family is a tyrant in Jiangcheng, but in terms of status, it is still slightly inferior to the city guard, and now the city guard can personally invite him to congratulate, which can be said to have given the Li family enough face, and it is not an exaggeration to bring this matter into the council hall.
"The big man who came is not only the city guard, but also the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion Zhen and the Luo shopkeeper of Danwang Yuan, these two big shopkeepers are relying on big forces behind them, and they usually only maintain normal transactions with us, but now they are all here, and they have prepared generous gifts, and you have also seen those gift boxes in the courtyard, half of which are from these two in the hands of the shopkeeper. Li Song is still unfinished.
Li Rong was taken aback, it was already an accident for the city guard to come in person, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper Zhen and the shopkeeper Luo to also come.
Of course, the shopkeeper Zhen will not feel very abrupt when he comes to congratulate him, after all, there is a line of Mr. Caomu, and the shopkeeper Zhen naturally has to take more care of the Li family, but the shopkeeper Luo of Danwangyuan doesn't seem to have any friendship with the Li family, right?
Li Rong thought for a while, and suddenly understood that this shopkeeper Luo must have gotten the news of Mr. Cao Mu from Shopkeeper Zhen.
Although the two shopkeepers are competitors, they also have a friendship in private, and Shopkeeper Luo urgently needs the Spirit Gathering Array, but he doesn't sell him, so Shopkeeper Zhen gave Shopkeeper Luo an idea and asked him to take the line of the Li family to tie up Mr. Caomu.
After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Li Rong is more comfortable, and now he is no longer the fool Rong half a year ago, he holds the title of the first place in the Jiangcheng martial arts assessment, and has reached close cooperation with the Treasure Pavilion, and Dan Wangyuan has come to the door.
At this time, Li Rong had already grasped the general trend of Jiangcheng, and his every move represented the interests of many people. At this time, he is no longer bound by the family, as long as he shows his identity, then from now on, his position in the family will be indestructible, say anything, do anything, everyone can only follow closely, such as Li Shang's mother and son, Shen Yuehua's mother and son, and others, it is impossible to come out again.
When he came to the council hall, all the important elders and clan elders in the family were already in place, and Li Changqing sat in the first place, his face full of red light.
"Dad, clan elders and elders, Li Rong greets you. ”
"Wushuang has seen all the elders. ”
Li Rong and Li Wushuang walked in the door and greeted everyone.
"Sit down. ”
Without extra words, Li Changqing ordered the two to sit down, and the two sat down in the last seat.
Subsequently, Li Changqing made some adjustments to the family's future planning, and everyone in the family echoed it, and none of them refuted it, and the council hall was carried out in a relaxed and happy atmosphere for the first time.
"That's it for that, but I'm going to talk about another thing. Li Changqing straightened his face and said with some seriousness.
Everyone in the Li family sat upright with solemn expressions.
"Everyone should still remember that half a year ago, my son Li Rong and Li Yang made another half-year month, whoever can get a higher ranking in the martial arts assessment will inherit the position of the head of the family, and now the results have come out, I don't know what you think?" Li Changqing asked.
Here it comes!
Even if the people here were prepared, their hearts couldn't help but be slightly shocked. Li Changqing's move was to completely pull out Shen Yuehua and Li Ru and other forces.
The old man thought that since he had spoken first, he should naturally follow the agreement. A clan elder who had already supported Li Changqing spoke.
"Yes, and the old man has always thought that this son is Li Rong's, Li Yang is not in accordance with the rules, but the situation was special at that time, and some of us decided to do it hastily, I will make a statement today, in the future, the position of the heir of our Li family head only belongs to Li Rong, and no one can think about it anymore. "An elder who originally belonged to Shen Yuehua's family saw that the wind had an extremely strong ability to steer the rudder, and he changed his concept in minutes, and his attitude was extremely firm.
"I also agree with the Thirteen Elders, the position of the heir of the head of the family cannot be easily changed, there is no doubt that it should be Li Rong!"
"I second!"
"Seconded!"
A group of elders and clan elders expressed their stance one after another and chose to support Li Rong.
"Since you are all of you unanimous, then I declare that the next head of the Li family will be inherited by my son Li Rong. Li Changqing smiled slightly, and ended all the topics tonight in one sentence.
At the end of the discussion, the elders in the family talked to Li Rong one after another, some encouraged, some admired, and some apologized euphemistically.
Li Rong replied seriously one by one, without losing courtesy.
Then, Li Changqing summoned Li Rong and Li Wushuang into the council hall again and got down to business.
Li Changqing first glanced at Li Wushuang and said to her: "Wushuang girl, according to the previous agreement, I will only hand over the inheritance of the ancestral objects to you if you win the first place in the martial arts assessment, but you are only ranked second. ”
Li Wushuang lowered his head when he heard this, his expression gloomy.
"Dad, this matter ......"
Li Rong saw Li Changqing mention this matter and was about to say what he thought, but Li Changqing interrupted him and said: "I haven't finished talking yet, what are you anxious about, a little worry is all on your face, and you don't have a steady look." ”
Li Changqing scolded Li Rong and continued to say to Li Wushuang: "You didn't complete the agreement, I shouldn't have handed over the inheritance in the ancestral object to you, but I heard Rong'er say that you helped him in the assessment, and our father and son must accept your affection in this matter, so I can make an exception for you to take away an inheritance." ”
Li Wushuang's cheeks were slightly red when she heard this, she lowered her head and secretly glanced at Li Rong, her heart full of gratitude.
Li Wushuang himself knew that in the entire process of martial arts assessment, she actually didn't help Li Rong with anything, but he put out fires everywhere and helped many people. The reason why Li Rong said this was just to help her get the inheritance of the ancestral relics.
"The head of the family said seriously, but in fact, Wushuang didn't do anything. Li Wushuang lowered his head and said.
Li Changqing smiled: "Wushuang doesn't have to be humble, tomorrow I will ask Li Rong to give you a copy of the inheritance martial arts, and you can choose one to take away." ”
"Wushuang, thank you to the head of the family. Li Wushuang got up and gave a blessing.
Li Changqing nodded, and then looked at Li Rong, with a deep pride and pride in his eyes.
"Rong'er, to be honest, I didn't have hope for you half a year ago, but I didn't expect an accident to enlighten you, and you have achieved today's achievements, and I am proud of my father for you. ”
"Dad, let's just say these things in private, in front of Wushuang, I will be shy. Li Rong said with a smile.
"What are you ashamed of, I'm telling the truth...... Forget it, since the matter has passed, I won't mention it more, I want to convey to you that I want to convey you to you because the lord of the city guard came, one is to congratulate, and the other is to tell you that three days later, you will go to the Qianyuan Mansion with the lord of the soldiers and horses to participate in the martial arts assessment of the provincial government, so that you can prepare in advance. ”
"Three days, so urgent?" Li Rong frowned. He originally wanted to find a chance to understand the grievances between him and Lu Jiucun, but he didn't expect Lord Long to leave in such a hurry.
"What's the hurry, the martial arts assessment at the township level is over, and the provincial government will be soon, three days later, the provincial government should decide the top ten, and when you go to challenge and determine the final ranking, it's time to set off to the state capital." Li Changqing said.
"Provincial level martial arts assessment...... They must be very good, and I am not necessarily their opponent. Li Rong touched his chin and said.
"So you should go to the practice room now, and take advantage of the three days left to learn the inherited martial arts in the ancestral artifact, maybe it can come in handy?
Li Rong was speechless, and Li Wushuang had already laughed out loud.
