Chapter 9: The Royal Family Dinner (3)
"That is, master, junior second brother, you also know that my father and mother unfortunately passed away a few days ago.
Now, I am leaving myself and this family business in Qingcheng.
Although my mother told me that she had left me a few right-hand men and guards, they were indeed very loyal and capable.
But Xiaoxiao is always a weak woman, and now the internal contradictions within the family have been seriously intensified, and many elders and clan elders do not intend to recognize me as the head of the family at all.
I would like to ask the master if he has any good plans to help me through this? Wang Xiaoxiao said earnestly.
The evening breeze was blowing, blowing the tips of Wang Xiaoxiao's hair, and I vaguely saw tears in the corners of her eyes, and she was held back by her tenacity.
"Let me tell the master what I have learned. If there is any omission, Miss Xiaoxiao, you can add and correct it.
According to the situation that our Feng family has mastered, the current Wang family should belong to the two veins of dispute.
First: it is Wang Xiaoxiao's vein, which is the main vein of the long house and belongs to orthodoxy. Those who have been cultivated and favored by Xiaoxiao's parents, as well as some of the direct clan relatives, still support Xiaoxiao to take over the position of head of the family, I believe that according to General Wang's methods, there must still be a lot of hole cards left for you;
Second: It is Xiaoxiao's cousin, Wang Di's lineage. That vein has always been a branch vein, a branch. He has been recuperating for many years and has cultivated many masters and strategists. When he encountered this opportunity this time, he even attracted the support of many sect elders at any cost, wanting to overthrow Xiaoxiao's lineage in one fell swoop and become the head of the family. "Feng Xiaoer, this is already prepared!
Listening to the two of them talk at length, good guy, I kind of understand, the two of you have already discussed the feelings, just wait for me.
"Then, what are the chances of Miss Xiaoxiao?" I raised my glass and drank it down, a little thirsty.
"Let's open five-five." Xiaoxiao thought seriously for a while and said.
"Poof~Amitabha~It's only half? Wouldn't that be giving one's life to someone else? "To be honest, I was a little surprised, according to the experience of the past five or five opens, it is usually inexplicable to lose.
"Master, there's no way, after all, Wang Di's vein has been planning for a long time, and many sect elders have been co-opted." Xiaoxiao shook her head.
I have always believed in fate, cause and effect, and myself, and most importantly, I believe in the Feng family, and even more so in Feng Yunyue.
"Good, good, Miss Xiaoxiao, what can I do to help you?" Since I'm here tonight, I'm supposed to be in response to this calamity.
"Master, are you willing to help me? That's great. I only need the master to protect me for a while, and I'll take care of the rest of the things. Wang Xiaoxiao's face swept away the haze, and his eyes were firm.
I glanced at the maid who was pouring wine as she stood aside.
Protecting you?
Do you need it?
Okay, maybe there's another mission.
"An acquaintance is fate and calamity, I will do my best to protect you."
"Sister Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, Luoluo has learned martial arts from Master, and there are bad people to bully you, watch me help you beat them away!" The little girl finally stopped fighting, compared her fists there, and began to take the initiative to express herself.
"Hahaha~ Okay. That's to thank Luoluo. Xiaoxiao smiled and her eyebrows curled.
After Luoluo said this, the atmosphere suddenly eased.
"Master, the 21 clan elders of the family, after summing up, have set a month-long competition, and at the end of the month, we will be able to see who can be promoted to the position of the head of the family more than Wang Di." Xiaoxiao took a sip of wine and continued.
"Competition? Let's hear it. "It's the first time I've experienced the internal competition of a big family, and I've only seen it in books before, and I'm very interested when she says that.
"Master, that's right, after the discussion of the sect elders, with ten days as a round, three rounds of competition were set, and the competition was based on the winning and losing point system. The content is divided into business warfare, speculation and martial arts.
Business war: As the name suggests, it is business, three rounds of competition, one round every ten days. Wang Di and I each designated a doorman or subordinate, not to rely on external funds, with a thousand taels of silver, within ten days, the one who earns the most wins, all transactions are recorded in detail in the account book, there are traces. The winner earns one point, and the one who cheats loses.
Speculation: It is a battle of strategists, where the loser after the end of the first round of business war will ask questions first, the other side will ask questions in the second round, and the third round will be asked by the clan elders. Each side sent a strategist to speculate and make judgments, talk about the past and the present, test the talent and strategic strength of his strategists, and the winner will accumulate one point.
Martial arts: It's easy to understand, it's a simple competition, and you can't kill anyone. At the end of each round of speculation, one person is sent to compete, and the winner earns one point.
In the end, it was voted on collectively by the twenty-one clan elders, and no one was allowed to abstain. Zong Lao voted to score two points in the test. The final competition totals 11 points, and the winner is king.
And Wang Di and I can't directly participate in all the competitions, we can only coordinate the overall situation behind the scenes. Xiaoxiao sighed deeply after speaking.
"Seems interesting! Although the little monk does not know how to do business, he is still very confident in thinking and fighting. When does your contest start? "I'm kind of eager to give it a try.
In my opinion, this competition is no longer a question of winning or losing, it is a matter of gambling on the wealth of the Wang family and whether they will be a man or a cow or a horse in the second half of their lives!
"Master, it's actually already begun. Tomorrow will be the time for the results of the first round of business battles. There are three rounds of competition, which we are scheduled for the 11th, 22nd and 31st of this July. Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed.
"It's tomorrow! I remember that I came down at the end of last month, and it passed so quickly. Girl Xiaoxiao, how are you preparing? "It's becoming more and more obvious that I want to see a good show, and of course, I'm not going to say it.
"Rest assured, Master, the first round is all ready. Master Lao and Luoluo will accompany me to eat melons tomorrow.
Master, you see, if it's convenient, please ask the master and Luoluo to stay in the humble house for a while during this time. I'm worried that the people on Wang Di's side will not be convinced if they lose, and they will use some unsavory means to deal with me. Xiaoxiao took advantage of the situation to say what she requested.
"However, our luggage is still in the inn." Luoluozui quickly took over the conversation.
"Luoluo is not in a hurry, sister, I will ask someone to help you bring all the things. Quietly, go to the inn now, bring the master and Luoluo's luggage, and settle the expenses together. Wang Xiaoxiao said and immediately ordered the maid behind him who was in charge of pouring wine.
"Yes, miss."
"No, no, we'll pay for it ourselves." I heard it and quickly spoke.
"Oh, master, don't be polite, stay here for a while with peace of mind, come and come, drink and drink." Feng Xiaoer came out to play a round again, and he deserved to be a businessman, just sleek.
It turns out that her name is Jingjing, and her name is indeed very consistent with her original cute girl's appearance, which is to practice martial arts...
The Buddha said: You can't just look at the surface of everything.
I reminded myself that I had to memorize the name, otherwise I would always forget it.
The three of them began to push the cup and change the lamp again, you come and go, you brag and I praise... It's strange for those who drink to see those who don't drink, and for those who don't drink, to see those who drink like fools.
It wasn't until late at night, when the sound of the hour was heard, that we ended the fight.
Luoluo and I lived here very smoothly, yes, white prostitution.
Before going to bed.
Luoluo asked me:
"Master, is this the fate?"
"How do you understand Luoluo?" I've been asking her a lot lately.
"Eat for nothing, live for nothing."
"Hahaha, Luoluo, you have to remember that fate is fate.
And fate, pay attention to cause and effect, we eat and live here with Miss Xiaoxiao, so we naturally have to help her, the so-called cause has effect. "I'm serious and down-to-earth explaining.
"Master, don't talk about it, your mouth is full of reason, and you smell of wine, and you stink to death. The Buddha is going to smoke and vomit. ”
"Amitabha Buddha ~ Why do I think it's incense? Go to sleep. ”
