Chapter 198: Wind and Rain
Qi Xuansu broke through the essence in one sentence.
Big families like the Zhang family and the Li family have the advantage of having a complete family framework and having enough talents.
For example, the Li family, not the national teacher is personally in charge of the affairs of the Li family, nor is the Qingwei Zhenren personally in charge of the affairs of the Li family, the two of them just grasp the general direction, and more energy is focused on the Daomen, in addition to these two people, there are Li Tianqing, Li Tianyue, Li Tianzhen and others, who jointly support the framework of the Li family, and family affairs do not need to worry too much.
The Zhang family and the Yao family are similar, the elders of the Zhang family are even many of the brothers of the same generation of the Heavenly Master, and the Yao family has Yao San, Yao Si, Yao Wu and others, Qi Niang can also be counted in this ranks, but the situation is more special.
There is nothing wrong with a small family like Qi Xuansu, the members can count it on one hand, and the top priority of their family is Xiao Yin's education, at most there is a contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
But the Pei family just doesn't go up or down, so many years of multiplication, there are quite a lot of family members, but there are few who are capable, few are successful, and even fewer can pick up the beams. Among the core members, the outstanding ones are Donghua Zhenren and Pei Shenfu, and Pei Xiaolou is not angry.
Even if it is the Zhang family, which has no talents, after all, the foundation and base are here, and they are far stronger than the Pei family. It is inevitable that it is not enough to manage the Daomen, but it is more than enough to manage one Zhang family.
Fortunately, Donghua Zhenren can barely take care of some family affairs, but if Donghua Zhenren is a big master, then he will basically not have time to manage the Pei family.
If you want to centralize power, you must pay energy, not to follow up and understand the situation, to adjust at any time, to summarize, to reward and punish, if you don't care about it after the order, the big palm is a stamp, and you have to be fooled by others.
If Donghua Zhenren wins and succeeds in ascending to the throne, then with Donghua Zhenren's character, he will definitely not be willing to repeat the mistakes of the six generations of the Great Palm Sect, and he will inevitably restore the authority of the Great Palm Sect strongly. This requires Donghua Zhenren to invest a lot of energy, and the affairs of the Pei family are all trivial matters, which will be put aside, and they will definitely not be taken into account.
If Donghua Zhenren has a son, at his current age, his son has grown up, and he can completely pick up the burden and let the old father have no worries. But Donghua Zhenren has no son. This is also that the Taoist sect does not talk about hereditary, if it is a hereditary system, then not having a son is a big minus, which directly shakes people's hearts. But even if the Daomen doesn't talk about hereditary, Donghua Zhenren used Qi Xuansu to solve the problem of the heir, he can't let Qi Xuansu deal with the affairs of the Pei family, and the name is not right, unless Qi Xuansu changes his name to Pei Xuansu.
Donghua Zhenren was also prepared, knowing that his sister was centrifuged and married, and his younger brother was not angry, so he married his younger brother a strong and capable daughter-in-law, and the Pei family in the future would have to be supported by his brother-in-law. Lei Xiaohuan thus married into the Pei family.
It's just that I didn't expect that Lei Xiaohuan was a little too capable, and now he is the chief deputy head of Jiangnan Provincial Mansion and the official of the frontier, and it seems that he can continue to rise. If Donghua Zhenren becomes the Great Palm Sect, then she will inevitably enter a period of rapid rise, this is a critical moment, not only about her future, she must also cooperate with the various policies of the Great Palm Sect from all aspects to help Donghua Zhenren stabilize her authority, and it is also difficult to take care of the affairs of the Pei family.
This gave Pei Shenfu room to meddle in the Pei family's affairs.
Her surname is Pei, and her name is justified, and the Pei family will not object too much.
Pei Xiaolou couldn't suppress her, and would only be at her mercy.
At this time, Qi Xuansu proposed to match Donghua Zhenren and Cihang Zhenren, isn't this a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle!
The sister-in-law who married out and the sister-in-law who married in, one in and one out, naturally the sister-in-law is more justifiable.
If Donghua Zhenren becomes the Great Palm Sect, and Cihang Zhenren becomes the Lady of the Great Palm Sect, this position is high enough, and it does have real power, but the more important role is that the Great Palm Sect is the backup, and there is a lot of free time, at least more idle than the Heavenly Master. Moreover, there are many disciples of Cihang Zhenren, in this regard, Donghua Zhenren and Qingwei Zhenren are not as good as Cihang Zhenren, and some disciples can help her solve problems.
Cihang Zhenren can easily take care of the Pei family's affairs, whether it is a name or a powerful position, Pei Shenfu is not the opponent of this sister-in-law, so he can only stare at it from the sidelines.
The Pei family has nothing to do with Pei Shenrune.
In this way, Qi Xuansu not only blocked Yao Pei's road, but also blocked Pei Shenfu's road in disguise, no wonder Pei Shenfu looked at Qi Xuansu unpleasantly, and his words were filled with guns and sticks.
This kid is so hateful.
But Pei Shenfu had to beg Qi Xuansu and make a bid, intending to make Qi Xuansu give up this idea.
It's just that he didn't think that Qi Xuansu could see through Pei Shenfu's motives at a glance.
Pei Shenfu realized that he still underestimated Qi Xuansu, this kid climbed to such a high position at a young age, and even overpressed Li Changge strongly, he was by no means a general, no wonder his brother who was above the top liked him so much.
Qi Xuansu said unhurriedly: "Even if we don't talk about morality, don't talk about feelings, and only talk about interests with a clear conscience, the sincerity and bargaining chips you give are too small, coax me like a child." ”
Qi Xuansu paused for a moment: "Counting a person's conscience, morality and feelings, do you think I will agree?" ”
Pei Shenfu did play a little clever, hoping that Qi Xuansu didn't see through her intentions, and agreed in a daze. But Qi Xuansu was very sober from beginning to end, how could he not see through this calculation.
Pei Shenfu didn't pretend anymore: "Since you have already said it, you will ask for a price all over the sky, and you can make a price if you sit on the ground and pay back." ”
Qi Xuansu said: "You don't think about the issue of mutual trust, if I don't do anything after receiving the money, what can you do?" ”
Pei Shenfu glanced at Qi Xuansu deeply: "Although I don't like you very much, I still believe in your credibility." ”
Qi Xuansu said: "Don't say me so well. Since you are open and honest, then I can also clearly tell you that kissing and kissing is something I must do, unless the two parties disagree. Instead of looking for me, you should go to my master, you are brothers and sisters, what can't you say? ”
Pei Shenfu's face was finally a little ugly.
Qi Xuansu is poking her heart, she can say that Donghua Zhenren is moving, what else is she bothering to do? In Yao Pei's matter, she failed to move Donghua Zhenren, Donghua Zhenren still decided to accept Qi Xuansu as an apprentice, could she say that Donghua Zhenren could be said to move Donghua Zhenren in this matter?
Qi Xuansu stood up: "Okay, it's almost time, I'm going to see the representative of the old Taoist." ”
Pei Shenfu took a deep breath and said word by word: "Qi Xuansu, refusal also has a price. ”
Qi Xuansu said: "Qi Niang often says that you have the ability to go." I, Qi Xuansu, have come so far, and I am not frightened. ”
With that, Qi Xuansu pushed the door and left.
Only Pei Shenfu is still in the signing room.
After a while, Pei Shenfu connected to the "Sound Transmission Array".
A female voice sounded: "Pei Zhenren, this is the Taiping Qianzhuang line." ”
"Help me pick up Sanxian Island and find Li Tianqing."
"Okay, please wait."
The female voice replied.
Everyone is an old acquaintance, and they have known each other for many years, and it is not necessarily a life-and-death relationship. Some people are a road in Xiyue, and some people are not.
Zhang Kucheng can deal with Yao Shu, and she can also join forces with Li Tianqing.
After a while, a deep old man's voice sounded: "Pei Shenrune? ”
He didn't call him by name, but by his first name, which was very polite.
Pei Shenfu didn't care: "It's me." ”
Li Tianqing asked, "You have something to do with me?" ”
Pei Shenfu said: "You seem to be very interested in Nanyang, and you sent a Li Tianzhen to stir up the wind and rain here." ”
Li Tianqing laughed: "Do you have an opinion?" ”
Pei Shenfu said: "Of course there are opinions. ”
"I want to hear about it."
"This wind and rain is too small to shake Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu."
"What do you mean......"
"I'm in Nanyang right now."
Li Tianqing on the other side was silent for a moment and said, "Some things are not good to say in the transmission, so it's better for us to talk face-to-face." ”
Pei Shenfu said: "I'm waiting for you at the Nanyang General Headquarters." ”
"No problem, I'll be able to get over tonight." Li Tianqing took the initiative to end the voice transmission call.
Pei Shenfu closed the "Sound Transmission Array", leaned back on the back of the chair, and muttered, "You master and apprentice are too deceitful!" ”
Qi Xuansu's reason for leaving the Nanyang General was not an excuse, he really wanted to meet the representative of the old Taoist priest, sit down to talk, and appease. This does not mean that Qi Xuansu betrayed Zhang Yuelu, because when it is time to settle accounts after the autumn, it is still necessary to settle accounts.
Qi Xuansu didn't see all the old Taoist priests, but saw the representative figures they elected, this old surname Wang, has a little relationship with Wang Jiaohe's Wang family, and is considered a distant relative, but the Taoist sect does not talk about Zhulian, and it was a family five hundred years ago, and there are many people with the surname Wang in the world, can they all be the remnants of Wang Jiaohe?
It doesn't count that way.
It's like the relationship between Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaozheng, Qi Xuansu failed to compete for the Great Palm Sect and was dealt with by Li Changge, so he couldn't give Qi Jiaozheng's Qi family to Zhu Lian by the way, there was no such reason.
As long as there is no too deep relationship, it can be brushed off.
This old man had been the chief deputy master of the Lingnan Provincial Government, and also served as the chief deputy master of the Tianji Hall, and moved to the Lion City after retiring, but when he asked about political affairs, he loved to dance and write ink, and a few years ago he also published an anthology at his own expense, which included his articles over the years, which can be described as both Confucianism and Taoism.
In this old Taoist incident, he belongs to the faction that can be wooed, so this time he was promoted, which can be regarded as the sincerity of reconciliation.
Although Chen Jianqiu is the deputy lord of the mansion, he still acts as half a secretary temporarily, especially when he is by Qi Xuansu's side.
Qi Xuansu asked Chen Jianqiu: "Are you ready for the anthology I asked you to prepare?" ”
Chen Jianqiu replied, "It's all ready." ”
Qi Xuansu nodded.
Soon, Qi Xuansu returned to Tianfu Palace and met the representative of the old Taoist priest.
After meeting, the old Taoist priest was very enthusiastic, and even a little excited, and there was a meaning in his words, Chen Shuhua's era was not good, and the Taoist sect was denied! It's not good now, look at how many people are down! Only when Qi Xuansu is in power is a really good time. According to his meaning, he should let Qi Xuansu directly ascend from the chief to the real person of the mansion, what to do in such a big circle.
Qi Xuansu didn't talk too much about the things some time ago, motioned to Chen Jianqiu to take out the anthology, and said: "Elder Wang, your anthology is very well written, I read it, Qingxiao also read it, and it is very inspiring." ”
Wang Lao was a little unconvinced: "Chief Zhang also watched it?" ”
"Of course, I did, but she had to retreat and couldn't get out. Yesterday, she also told me that I must let you write the inscription yourself. Qi Xuansu said with sincerity on his face.
Wang Lao's eyes lit up suddenly.
Chen Jianqiu immediately took the pen and handed it to Wang Lao's hand.
Wang Lao began to inscribe on the title page of the book, and even his hands trembled a little.
The rest of the conversation was, of course, all going well.
Afterwards, when Wang Lao saw everyone, he had to say that he had to be Chief Qi.
