Chapter 21: Elected Patriarch?
Choosing a patriarch?!
Listening to Ye Guozhong's words, everyone was shocked.
This is no joke.
In this day and age, there is no patriarch for a long time.
The word "patriarch" has become history, or it has become two cold words on paper.
However, Ye Guozhong actually said that he wanted to choose a patriarch.
The meaning of these words is obviously to select a patriarch from the Ye family.
"That's right, it's to choose the patriarch!"
Ye Guozhong didn't react much, but was very bland, he said:
"Only by having a leader in our Ye family can we gather the strength of everyone."
"Easy to say."
Ye Chengye put his hands in his pockets, pouted and said, "But have you thought about the difficulty?" ”
"Let's not say that choosing a patriarch is a difficult problem in itself, just talking about the current people, who still obeys the patriarch, they don't have the concept of "patriarch" in their minds at all. ”
"If we don't have this concept, we will let them have this concept."
Ye Guozhong said with confidence: "What's more, our Ye family is different from others now, we are all immortal cultivators, we are an immortal cultivator family, what's wrong with having a patriarch?" ”
"As for the matter of choosing a patriarch, that's not a problem at all."
"Just pick someone that everyone is convinced of."
Ye Guozhong squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "In our Ye family, isn't there such a person?" ”
"Is there such a person?"
Everyone looked at each other suspiciously, and then seemed to remember something, their eyes gradually cleared, and a person appeared in their minds at the same time: Ye Feiliu.
In the entire Ye family, apart from him, who else can convince everyone?
Before everyone could speak, Ye Weiguo immediately shook his head:
"No, no, our family Feiliu is too young, how can he be the patriarch?"
"Why not?"
Ye Guozhong didn't care at all and said, "What about being young? Feiliu's strength and status are there, who else has the qualifications to be the patriarch besides him? ”
"In this matter, I agree with the words of the eldest brother."
Ye Qinglian said: "Our Ye family, except for Feiliu, there is really no one who is qualified to be the patriarch. ”
"Yes!"
Ye Zhongxin nodded heavily and said, "If someone else is the patriarch, I won't accept it, but Feiliu, I'll obey." ”
"I also approve of Feiliu being the patriarch."
Ye Guoqing said.
Several brothers all agreed with Ye Feiliu as the patriarch.
When Ye Weiguo saw it, he smiled bitterly and bitterly: "You, this..."
"Old Five, let me tell you, this is not a joke, but very important."
Ye Guozhong said with a solemn face: "You have thought clearly, if our Ye family is like a plate of scattered sand, how many people can survive the apocalypse?" ”
"But if our Ye family can unite and gather their strength together, maybe we can survive the catastrophe of the apocalypse."
"This is a matter of life and death for our entire Ye family, do you understand?"
“.....”
Ye Weiguo had nothing to say, except for nodding, he could only nod.
"Come on, I'll go back and ask Feiliu what he means."
"Nope! You're not asking, but you're trying to convince Feiliu to become the patriarch. ”
What can Ye Weiguo say?
I had to nod my head in agreement.
Ye Guozhong was very happy, and then said: "I will persuade and persuade other people, I believe that they will not refuse." ”
"Big brother, I'll go with you too."
Seeing that Ye Guozhong was leaving, Ye Qinglian hurriedly caught up.
....
At night.
The moonlight is lighter.
A row of lights is reflected on the surface of the river.
Many people have lights on in their homes.
The same is true of Ye Feiliu's family.
The light reflected Ye Feiliu's face, and many small moths swirled around the light.
The sound of a news broadcast was heard on the television.
The family gathered around a square table and was talking.
"That's the thing."
Ye Weiguo said: "Not long ago, your uncle came with news, he said that the Ye family also agreed, and they all wanted you to be the patriarch. ”
"Some people even say that if the patriarch is not you, he will leave the Ye family."
"Feiliu, your reputation in the Ye family now is unmatched."
"But what do you have in mind?"
To be a patriarch?
Ye Feiliu frowned.
To be honest, he was quite surprised to hear this.
He had never thought of being a patriarch.
I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to me.
"Feiliu, being the patriarch is not a matter of your word."
Looking at Ye Feiliu's expression, Yu Meilian comforted:
"If you want to be, nod your head, if you don't want to, let's reject them, don't embarrass yourself."
"Do you want me to be the patriarch?"
Suddenly, Ye Feiliu looked at Ye Weiguo and his wife with blazing eyes.
Ye Weiguo and his wife were stunned, and after glancing at each other, they smiled and said: "You don't care what we mean, you can just make your own decisions, no matter how you choose, we will support you." ”
In fact, the real meaning of the couple is to want Feiliu to be the patriarch.
After all, if Ye Feiliu became the patriarch, it would also be a great benefit to him.
For them as a couple, there are also benefits.
Think about it, if their son becomes the patriarch, their status will naturally rise.
However, they would never forcibly ask Ye Feiliu to be the patriarch for their own benefit.
If you are not the patriarch, it all depends on Ye Feiliu himself.
They don't force their sons.
Ye Feiliu thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll do it." ”
He nodded, not simply.
This means that from now on, he has an additional responsibility on his shoulders.
Since then, the Ye family has been both prosperous and lossy with him.
Of course.
While shouldering the responsibility, Ye Feiliu's power in the Ye family will also become great.
Seeing Ye Feiliu nodding in agreement, Ye Weiguo and his wife also had smiles on their faces.
Ye Weiguo said happily: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll tell your uncle about it." ”
Ye Feiliu did not speak.
Subsequently, Ye Weiguo went to find Ye Guozhong and told him about Ye Feiliu's agreement to be the patriarch.
Ye Guozhong was naturally very happy.
After Ye Weiguo came back, he said to Ye Feiliu: "Your uncle said that tomorrow I will call everyone to the ancestral hall and hold an enthronement ceremony for you." ”
"Enthronement ceremony? Is this necessary? ”
Ye Feiliu was stunned, feeling that he was taking this a little too seriously.
Who knew that Father Ye said with a serious expression: "This process must be there, do you think about why there were so many complicated etiquette when the ancient emperor ascended the throne, and even announced it to the world?" ”
"If you don't focus on it, how can you show the majesty of your patriarch? Who will listen to you in the future? ”
"Your uncle also said that all the people of the Ye family must rush home tomorrow."
"When you ascend the throne tomorrow, the entire Ye family must be all present."
Ye Feiliu thought about it, Father Ye's words still made some sense, so he didn't refuse again.
Moreover, Ye Feiliu estimated that the enthronement ceremony would definitely not be very complicated, after all, it was modern now, not the ancient times where there were a lot of red tape and etiquette.
I guess he doesn't have to bother too much.
"That's right."
Ye Weiguo smiled happily.
Yu Meilian also smiled and said, "Okay, after the business is over, you can also eat some fruit." ”
As he spoke, he took a red Fuji apple and handed it to Ye Feiliu.
