Chapter 66 Human Feelings
There are three major relatives of men, father, mother, and wife.
These are three very important family relationships, which can be specifically uncles, uncles, fathers-in-law, or cousins, cousins, and brothers-in-law.
For Qi Xuansu, the Zhang family is the wife family. The father-in-law of the real brand, Zhang Jiqi, may not be heavy, but Zhang Jicheng's weight is very heavy, he is the next head of the Zhang family, and he is also a popular candidate for Heavenly Master. If Donghua Zhenren becomes the Great Palm Sect, and Cihang Zhenren also becomes the Great Palm Sect Lady as the Zhang family hopes, then Zhang Jicheng will succeed Cihang Zhenren as the Palm Hall of Tiangang Hall, and just wait for the Heavenly Master to ascend, and he will take advantage of the situation.
The third division will definitely finish the last shift, and wait until the dust settles on the selection of the seventh generation of the Great Sect Master, and then they will be helped on the horse and given a ride, and then they will soar.
This is also for the overall situation of the Daomen.
If Qi Xuansu wants to compete for the eighth generation of the Great Sect, he must rely on the power of the Zhang family, so in addition to the reason for helping Zhang Yuelu, he is also happy to take care of the affairs of the Zhang family, give his brother-in-law a head, take care of his brother-in-law, and so on, and increase his influence.
Take the brother-in-law as an example, whether he throws his fist at his brother-in-law or is respectful to his brother-in-law, it all depends on his brother-in-law's ability. The brother-in-law has the ability, and the brother-in-law is like a son. The brother-in-law has no ability, and the brother-in-law is like a father. Human nature is like that.
For example, Zhang May, he was very afraid of Qi Xuansu, because Qi Xuansu was powerful, and he didn't dare to be afraid of the shadow of a famous tree. If Qi Xuansu is only a four-grade wine Taoist now, do you see that Zhang May is afraid of him, I am afraid that he will have to say cruel words to Qi Xuansu, for example, if you dare to be sorry for my sister, I will ask you to look good.
No matter how close the relationship is, it also depends on the status. How the Zhang family looked at Qi Xuansu in the past, and how the Zhang family looks at Qi Xuansu now, is a good example.
Qi Xuansu has an advantage, he can hold grudges and be generous.
Now he is very generous in his treatment of the Zhang family.
Qi Xuansu is not a good person, nor is he a pure bad person. He has certain ambitions and a certain bottom line. Ambition means that he must do something to climb up, and having a bottom line means that he can't get his hands dirty when doing things, and he can't just do things that don't conform to the rules.
However, the ecological environment of Daomen in recent decades has led to a dilemma, that is, the two are often incompatible, and sometimes even contradictory. This created Zhang Yuelu's predicament. Qi Xuansu saw this, if he wanted to realize his ambitions on the premise of sticking to the bottom line, he needed support from both the upper and lower sides, the top was the backer, and the bottom was the foundation.
With a backer, you can shelter from the wind and rain. With roots, you can take deeper roots. The backer is naturally Donghua Zhenren, and there are also pros and cons. Needless to say, the disadvantage is that once Donghua Zhenren falls, Qi Xuansu will be regarded as the "residual poison" of Donghua Zhenren to be eliminated, regardless of whether Qi Xuansu has contributed to the Daomen, this is the biggest reality.
Backing is not something that Qi Xuansu can choose, but in terms of foundation, Qi Xuansu has a considerable choice, he has always intended to cultivate his own foundation, and his brother-in-law Zhang May is of course among them.
Qi Xuansu not only helped Zhang Yuelu solve a family dilemma and enhance the relationship between the two, but also got a helper to let the Zhang family think of his own good and increase his influence in the Zhang family. That's a lot to count.
Zhang Wuyue's movements were very fast, and not long after Qi Xuansu received Zhang Yuelu's letter, he took a Tianjitang's "Yellow Cockroach" to the Southern Continent.
Not long after Zhang May arrived in the Southern Continent, before he could adapt to the climate here, he was led by Qi Xuansu to a strange manor, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is a good place to escape from the world and recuperate. Then it was the usual banquet, and Zhang May found that Qi Xuansu, who usually sits in the main seat, actually vacated the main seat today.
It was only at this time that Qi Xuansu told Zhang May that he had made an appointment with Huangfu Ji of the West Daomen today, this real person enjoyed the treatment of the Daomen's counselor, and now he was the head of the Absolute Holy Church, and he was also the future leader of the West Daomen.
Zhang May couldn't help but feel nervous. The volume of the West Gate is placed here, one of the five Great Gates. To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Master is the leader of the South Daomen, the National Teacher is the leader of the East Daomen, the Earth Master is the leader of the Middle Daomen, the Great Xuan Emperor is the leader of the North Daomen, and the leader of the West Daomen is comparable to the deputy head of the Dazhen, and he is at the same level as the Third Division. The future leaders of Xidaomen are at the level of Donghua Zhenren, Qingwei Zhenren, and Cihang Zhenren.
Although Zhang May is from the Zhang family, he has not had much contact with such a big person. He usually says that there are a lot of twists and turns in eating with big people, and he hasn't learned this either.
Just when Zhang May was nervous, Huangfu Ji had already arrived.
Qi Xuansu got up and said hello with a smile: "Brother Liming, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Zhang May also got up, her smiling face was slightly stiff: "I've seen the real person of Huangfu." ”
"Tianyuan, it's really not easy for you to take the initiative to treat you." Huangfu Ji and Qi Xuansu saluted, but their eyes turned to Zhang May.
Qi Xuansu took the opportunity to introduce it: "This is your brother Zhang Dimei, that is, my brother-in-law, Zhang May, the 'May' of May Dulu, the word Tianzhong." ”
Huangfu smiled and said, "Since it is Brother Zhang's brother, it is my brother." Little brother in the sky, don't call Huangfu real person in the future, call Huangfu big brother. ”
These words are quite a bit of a charlatan, unlike the words of the people in the Daomen, and it is also due to the atmosphere of the West Daomen.
Qi Xuansu said: "That's too much to exalt him." ”
Zhang May could only smile.
Everyone took their seats, and Qi Xuansu said: "My old Taishan only has one daughter, Qingxiao, but Lao Taishan also has a brother, who is the father of Tianzhong. The two families are neighbors again, and the relationship is extraordinary. Tianzhong grew up watching Qingxiao, and his feelings are not ordinary. On weekdays, Qingxiao often tells me that she is just this one brother, so that I, as a brother-in-law, will take care of it more. So I brought him to the Southern Continent, to see the world, to go through some training, and not to go around a woman's skirt all day long. ”
Huangfu smiled: "A good man has ambitions in all directions, so he should come out and break through." ”
Qi Xuansu didn't talk about Zhang May anymore, but talked about some seemingly unrelated things, such as the progress of the construction of Xingang. Then he raised his glass frequently, and those who didn't know thought that Qi Xuansu was a good drinker.
When the wine was half-drunk, Qi Xuansu glanced at Zhang May: "In the sky, a cup of respect for the emperor's real person." ”
Zhang May immediately picked up the wine glass, got up and said, "Huangfu Zhenren, I respect you." ”
Huangfu can be very polite, and Zhang May can't help but talk about the rules, so he still uses the honorific title of a real person.
Huangfu Ji did not deliberately embarrass him, and raised his wine glass: "Young man, do a good job." Then he drank it all.
After a banquet, Qi Xuansu didn't mention half a word about Zhang May's business, but just introduced Zhang Mayyue to Huangfu Ji.
In the next few days, there was no need for Zhang May to participate, Qi Xuansu just asked him to adapt to the environment of the Southern Continent as soon as possible and understand the specific situation.
Although Zhang May didn't know what Qi Xuansu would do next, she also knew that her brother-in-law was interested, because if she just sent him casually, her brother-in-law would just have to say hello, but her brother-in-law's current posture is really consuming human affection.
Zhang May understood in her heart that her brother-in-law worked so hard, of course, not because he liked him, but because of his sister's face, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty about his sister.
This is the sophistication of human feelings, you are developed, and your relatives who have treated you as their own since you were a child begged you for one thing, their children have grown up, and they want to make a living, do you want to help? Help, I have returned the love of the year, I miss you well, everyone is good. If you don't help, you're infamous as a wolf, and you don't even have to do it.
Qi Xuansu is indeed for Zhang Yuelu, and he doesn't want Zhang Yuelu to be difficult.
After Huang Fuji went back, he asked his secretary to contact Duan Changqing, the real person in charge of the West City Botang.
"Brother Duan, I have something I want to ask you." Huangfu is very straight to the point.
Duan Changqing did not refuse: "Establish a name, just tell me if there is anything." ”
Huangfu said: "That's the case, I want to ask you to help me arrange a person, Shangqing Zhang was born, he is the brother-in-law of Chief Qi, and the younger brother of Chief Zhang." Chief Qi personally came forward, and I couldn't help but agree. After all, Chief Qi has spoken to us in Xidaomen, we can't let people say that we don't miss love, we can only help this favor to the end, right? ”
Duan Changqing said: "This is natural, Chief Qi's favor must be helped." ”
Huangfu said: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to your brother, no problem, right?" ”
"No problem." Duan Changqing agreed, "But I want to ask first, how to arrange it?" ”
Huangfu said: "I listen to the meaning of Chief Qi, this little Zhang Daoyou is biased towards foreign trade, Chief Qi and Chief Zhang have successively served as the chief deputy head of Borneo Daofu, and the real person in charge of Jiangzhou Daofu is also a member of the Zhang family, and letting Xiao Zhang Daoyou be in charge of trade will save a lot of things." ”
Duan Changqing said: "Our trade is mainly concentrated in Nanyang and Jiangnan, and in the process of weaving a local network, this little Zhang Daoyou has a natural advantage. ”
Huangfu said: "That's the case, this matter is not only to sell the face of the chief, but also to help our development, the sphere of influence of the three realms determines the direction of many of our policies, although we will not admit these on the surface, but these do exist." ”
Huangfu paused for a moment: "It's far away, then it's decided, and this matter will be handled by you." ”
Duan Changqing said: "I'll report to you after I've arranged it." ”
Although the two are of the same level, Huangfu is very faintly a prince, so Duan Changqing still uses the word "report".
After Duan Changqing went back, he found the deputy hall master who was in charge of this part of the subordinate again: "Have you arranged someone over there?" ”
The deputy hall master already had a candidate, but he was obedient and listened, so he naturally understood what Duan Changqing meant, and temporarily changed his words: "Several families want to participate, but they haven't been determined yet." ”
Duan Changqing said: "It just so happens that I have a candidate here, named Zhang May, I will study and decide with Huangfu Zhenren, so I will use him." ”
Naturally, the deputy hall master couldn't have any objections, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay." ”
Duan Changqing instructed: "This little Zhang Daoyou is from Shangqing Mansion in Wuzhou, don't slack off." ”
The deputy hall master immediately understood seven or eight points, this is Shangqing Zhang Lairen, Qi Zhenren's Taoist is Shangqing Zhang's origin, maybe he has something to do with Qi Zhenren, otherwise Huangfu Zhenren would not come forward in person.
In this way, Zhang May's matter came to an end, and the matter reached the ears of the Zhang family, and everyone in the Zhang family naturally changed their impression of Qi Xuansu.
