Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Jiang Family Meeting
The courtyard of the fourth master of the Jiang family is called "God of War Garden", and its owner, Jiang Yuding, is a rough man. As the saying goes, where there is a father, there must be a son. Jiang Jun, the son of all Jiang Yuding, although he was only twenty years old, was already very burly.
At this time, in a house in the God of War Garden, a figure was standing proudly. Opposite him, there were several children of the Jiang family surrounding him, their faces full of smiles.
"Brother Jun, there will be a clan meeting tomorrow, and you will definitely be able to shine this time!" said one of the disciples.
Then someone responded and said: "Yes, Brother Jun's way of killing has been a little smaller, this kind of murderous aura, which can be compared to those people in Jiangshan Jiangfu." ”
"Okay, let's talk a little bit more. Jiang Jun said in a majestic tone, what he didn't like the most was to say bad things behind people's backs, so why can't he be scolded to his face? That's what a man is.
"That's right. Jiang Jun asked, "Have all their children returned?"
"The clan meeting is imminent, how dare not come back, even the most arrogant Jiang Fu has already returned. However, the earliest one who came back was still that Jiang Yun. A well-informed person said.
"Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun of the Fifth Uncle's family will also come, I'm afraid he will be counted by the clan this time......" He didn't dislike Jiang Yun like others, he just simply didn't like it, just like treating strangers.
"I'm afraid Jiang Yun will behave this time......" The man thought about it and said.
"What do you say?" Jiang Jun asked with interest.
"A few days ago, he beat Jiang Ming...... It is said that Jiang Ming was bullied and cried, and he also hugged Uncle Gong's leg and asked him to uphold justice. ”
"Haha, that guy Jiang Ming, I've long seen him unpleasant! Jiang Yun did a beautiful job this time. In that case, I'll see how he performs this time. ”
......
This day is the most solemn day in the Jiang family's year, and all the clansmen of the Jiang family have gone home to participate in this family event.
Early in the morning, when Jiang Yun went out, he saw that the servants of the whole family were very busy, and even Jiang Yun's father and mother went to the family to help.
At this time, Jiang Yun, after calling Jin Yu out, led him to the head of the family's mansion. On the way, I met many other contemporary children of the Jiang family, and those children greeted and greeted each other cordially, but everyone didn't seem to see Jiang Yun's existence, and no one came to greet him.
"Alas, it is too successful to fail at this point. Seeing this situation, Jiang Yun was full of sympathy for Jiang Yun of his predecessor.
Jin Yu, who was following aside, saw the lonely expression on Jiang Yun's face, and thought he was sad, so he said with relief: "Brother Yun, these people are not worthy of being your brothers, you don't have to be so sad! I promise, although the two of us are not related by blood, I definitely treat you as my own brother." ”
"Good brother!" Jiang Yun was moved in his heart.
"Yun'er, come here!"
As soon as he arrived at the door of the head of the family's mansion, Jiang Yun saw his mother, who was already waiting there, waving to him.
"Mother, where is father?" Only Xue Tinglan was here, but there was no figure of Jiang Yuwu.
"Your father is in the council chamber with your uncles, come with me. ”
Jiang Yun followed his mother into the family master's mansion, and went all the way, with five or six people around him, all of whom were Jiang Yun's peers and children of the Jiang family.
"Is this year's clan meeting the same as in previous years?" Jiang Yun asked. The rules of the Jiang family's clan meetings in previous years were very simple, and they were all children of the same generation, and they competed with each other. Eliminate all the way up, and stick to the end is the final ranking. The family, on the other hand, will be rewarded according to the order of rank.
"Yes, it's the same as in previous years, but this time it was not only the children of our Jiang family master clan who participated in the clan meeting, but also the leaders of their peers from the following branches. Jiang Yun's mother nodded and said.
While speaking, Jiang Yun and Jin Yu followed Xue Tinglan to a lobby of the head of the family's mansion, and the door of the lobby was ten meters high, which was made by a fine rosewood carpenter.
In the lobby, there is a long table, 20 meters long, and on either side of the table are stools for seating.
At the height of the lobby, there is a table of eight immortals, which is where the high-level officials of the Jiang family and foreign distinguished guests sit together.
These things only occupy half of the lobby.
In the other half of the lobby, there is a ring, and there are several big flags on the side of the ring, with the word "Wu" written on them, which fully shows the importance that the Jiang family attaches to martial arts.
At this time, the hall was very lively, and the sides of the long table were already full of people, and those people were all members of the Jiang family who had the right to participate in this clan meeting.
"Come, sit. Xue Tinglan pulled Jiang Yun and Jin Yu to a position where she had just walked in a few steps and sat on one side of the long table.
This is already the tail of the long table, twenty or thirty meters away from the main table...... Opposite Jiang Yun and the three of them, there were two old men, and there were several tiger-headed teenagers beside them, their eyes full of surprise and envy. Obviously, these people are the peers of the Jiang family's side branches.
Jin Yu quietly pulled Jiang Yun's sleeve and asked, "Why are we so far away from the main table, we are all sitting outside the door, how is the seat of your house divided." ”
Jiang Yun helplessly glanced at Jiang Yuwu, who was on the main table in the distance at this time, and then said, "According to the speed of sperm cell running." ”
"What?" Jin Yu was at a loss, "What essence, is it a kind of family light martial arts of your Jiang family?"
"Ahem, no, it's according to my father's uncle's generation. The innermost part is the uncle's house, and then it faces outward in turn. My father is the last ...... in the family," Jiang Yun hurriedly explained. He didn't want Jin Yu to think that after he practiced the family's martial arts, he would become a very capable sperm cell......
"Then I can't blame others, I just blame your father for not being competitive back then......" Jin Yu said faintly. In the traditional Tian Yuan Continent, the seniority between brothers is still very important, and it is understandable to use this to arrange seats.
"But......" he asked, "you have four uncles in total, and there are nearly thirty of us in the field, all of whom are sons of your uncles?"
"No, they are the children of ordinary Jiang family people who are attached to the five high-ranking members of the Jiang family. ”
......
"At the main table, there were seven people sitting at this time. In addition to Jiang Yun's father and other five brothers of the Jiang family, there are two outsiders.
The two outsiders, one was a middle-aged man with great momentum, who was the current city lord of Jialing City, who was invited by the Jiang family to come to watch the ceremony.
The other person was a scholar who looked weak in literature, and according to the city lord, he was one of his distinguished guests, who came to see the excitement. When everyone in the Jiang family saw the city lord's respectful attitude towards that scholar, they knew that the identity of that person was not simple, and they didn't dare to slack off in hospitality.
Jiang Yujia, the head of the Jiang family, stretched out his hands and clapped his hands a few times to calm down everyone present, and then said, "Everyone is here." ”
own family, second family...... The old five families and the people of the side branches......
After checking it carefully, after no one was absent, he said succinctly: "Since the city lord and his distinguished guests have taken time out of their busy schedules to visit our Jiang family, let's not be too troublesome, it's still the old rules, the young children should work harder, and strive to perform more brightly at this year's clan meeting!"
So he ordered the servant to bring a basket with white hydrangeas with numbers written on them.
Because this time in the Jiang family, including the four side branch disciples, there were a total of thirty people, and the numbers on all the hydrangeas were from one to fifteen.
"Come, everyone who is attending the clan meeting this year will come here, and everyone will take a hydrangea and remember the numbers on it. The head of the house ordered.
Those Jiang family disciples got up one by one, some of their faces were expectant, and some were nervous. And then there is the indifference...... Their young or precocious faces were full of expressions, and they stepped forward to draw their own hydrangeas.
"Jianglong, Jianghu, Jiangguo, Jianghua, Jiangming...... You draw them one by one, don't worry, go to Uncle Gong to record your numbers after you finish drawing. "The head of the family is arranging in an orderly manner.
Jiang Yun also got up and went to draw a hydrangea with a "ten" written on it, that is, his opponent was another child of the Jiang family who drew the number "ten".
"The first round of eliminations begins, and the two people whose numbers are drawn to 'one' will go to the ring."
In the eyes of everyone, two figures walked into the ring.
One of the two people was holding a fan, fanning the wind elegantly, and the wind gently blew his hair...... This is the country.
His opponent was very nervous, his face was pale, and he was standing on the stage at this time looking helplessly at an old man sitting opposite Jiang Yun. This is a son from a side branch.
"Showdown, begin. A steward of the Jiang family who presided over the clan meeting in the ring said.
As soon as the beginning of the sound fell, everyone saw a white figure in the ring, like a white lightning bolt, appearing behind the young man on the side.
And the young man on the side branch didn't seem to notice, he didn't know that his opponent was already behind him, and the dazedness on his face became even thicker when he looked at the empty ring opposite......
"Alas!" In the sigh of an old man opposite Jiang Yun, the young man was pushed off the ring by Jiang Shan with a gentle push from behind, and won the first victory.
The rule of this ring is that the one who gets out of the ring loses, and if neither of them is knocked out of the ring, then the first person who has no ability to resist loses. Moreover, since they are all children of the Jiang family, they can't use vicious means between the competitions, and the violators will be severely punished by the family law!
"In the first game, Jiang Shan won. Steward Jiang Yuchuan, who was in charge of the presiding, announced loudly, and Jiang Yugong, who was in charge of the record, hurriedly recorded it.
Then two people with the number "two" were drawn to the ring, and the second competition began.
