Chapter 13 Whoever can get the favor of the little ancestor will be the next head of the family
The capital, in a seven-entry mansion.
In the spacious room, a group of people bowed down and stood in front of the bed.
The thin old man sat on the bed and coughed violently, and several people around the bed immediately stretched out their hands and wanted to pat him on the back, but they were all stopped by the old man waving his hand.
"Today, I'm going to gather you here and say two things." The old man's cloudy but still sharp gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped on a handsome young man with a long body on the right.
The old man coughed twice, and then breathed hard, as if he had exhausted all his strength when he had just spoken such a long sentence.
"The first thing, about the new head of the family, Xiaobai will be the next head of the family, and the second child will assist from the side."
After he said this, everyone was shocked.
"Dad! Our brothers and sisters are all fine, where is there a family that crosses the middle generation and passes the family directly to the grandchildren? ”
"Dad, even if you pass the position to the second brother, I won't say anything, but Sui Bai is not very old and has no experience in managing the family, how can he manage such a big family business as the Qi family!"
"Dad, I know you like Suibai, but you're too partial!"
The crowd at the head of the room shouted in disbelief.
They originally thought that the battle between the head of the family was just a battle of this generation, but who knew that the old man did not play his cards according to common sense, and passed them on to his grandson outside the head of the family, how could they be convinced?
The old man shouted in a deep voice: "I'm not dead yet, are you waiting for me to die soon so that you can divide up the family property?" ”
Everyone instantly fell silent, and they didn't dare to say anything.
The old man gasped for breath and beckoned the handsome young man on his right to step forward.
The young man stepped forward and put a pillow on the old man's back, and patted him lightly on the back: "Grandpa, don't get excited, my grandson also feels that he is not capable enough to take on such a heavy responsibility." ”
When everyone saw him say this, their expressions softened a little.
The old man sighed, "Xiaobai, you don't have to be humble, your grandfather can see how capable you are, maybe your uncles can do better than you, but our family is different from other families, and the decision to be the head of the family is not based on ability and talent, but on the approval of one person." ”
When these words were spoken, the uproar below was even louder, and only the eldest and second son, who stood at the forefront as the most powerful contender for the position of head of the family, faintly understood something.
The young man was also puzzled and asked, "What does Grandpa mean by this?" ”
The old man looked at him with satisfaction, "Xiaobai, where is your jade talisman?" Take it out and show it to your uncles. ”
The young man took out a piece of white jade with a strange pattern from his neck, and the old man also took out a box from under the pillow with a trembling hand, and took out a jade talisman from the box that was very similar to the white jade.
The jade talisman in the old man's hand was almost exactly the same as the white jade in the young man's hand, except for the Qi character engraved with a seal.
The moment they saw those two jade talismans, everyone's eyes widened.
The eldest of the Qi family pointed to the piece of white jade, and his voice trembled a little because of excitement: "This, this is a token of the head of our Qi family, but why does Sui Bai have this?" Old man, you used a token to imitate one for Sui Bai? ”
The old man's eyes widened, and he was speechless with anger.
The boss of the Qi family suddenly understood that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly remedied: "Dad, don't be angry, I just want to ask Sui Bai why he has this jade, and I didn't question your meaning." ”
The old man was undiminished, and there was a hint of piety in his solemn expression: "Next is the second thing I want to say, you have been to the ancestral hall, and you all know that in the ancestral hall, in addition to the ancestral tablet enshrined, there is also a separate immortal ancestral hall, which enshrines the immortal tablet of a benefactor of our Qi family." ”
The boss was puzzled: "We all went to worship in front of the benefactor's tablet, but didn't Dad, you say that this is the tablet of one of our little ancestors?" At that time, we were still wondering why the ancestral tablet was an immortal tablet and was not included in the ancestral hall, and at that time you just laughed and said that we were too young to know. ”
The old man said solemnly: "This is what I am talking to you about now, the little ancestor she did not enter the ancestral hall because she is not a member of our Qi family, the reason why it is an immortal tablet is because the little ancestor is a good living person is a living person!" ”
"What?!"
"How is this possible?"
"The Immortal Shrine has been built for more than two hundred years, and the Immortal Ranking has also been enshrined by our Qi family for more than two hundred years, how could that person live so long!"
Outcry! Astound! Unbelievable!
No one can remain calm at the moment!
The old man slowly told the story of the ancestors of the Qi family with a look of reverence, and everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.
This story is so shocking to their worldview that it is like listening to a myth and legend.
The old man's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, "When I first saw the little ancestor, I only regarded her as an ordinary child, and when my father asked me to be respectful, I only felt absurd and ridiculous in my heart, but fortunately, the girl who was my first child was cute, and I had a good attitude towards her." ”
"It wasn't until more than 30 years later that I saw that little girl again."
"At that time, I had been elected as the next head of the Qi family, and my father was lying on the bed and was about to come to the end of his life, the little girl suddenly appeared in front of her father's bed out of thin air, and her father supported her rotten body and wanted to get up, and the little girl seemed to be a little unbearable, so she fed her father a pill."
"That night, I watched my father's gray hair turn black and his dry, wrinkled skin rejuvenated."
The old man recalled what happened back then, and his eyes revealed endless yearning and reverence, such as worshiping the gods.
Everyone was shocked, except for Qi Suibai, who can come here today, they are all middle-aged descendants, the time the old man said was more than forty years ago, they were not very old at that time, but they have already begun to remember, how can they not know what the old man said!
Grandfather recalled all the family members before he died, and they had seen with their own eyes what their grandfather's body had deteriorated into, but in that case, grandfather seemed to be twenty years younger overnight, and it was difficult for them not to remember it.
They vaguely remembered that the old man was followed by a little girl at that time, and at that time they also guessed whether the little girl was the illegitimate daughter of the old man.
It's just that they never expected that the inconspicuous little girl would be the little ancestor who rejuvenated their grandfather overnight!
Thinking of this, they suddenly thought that twenty years ago, there seemed to be a little girl in the Qi family, and she ran around with Qi Suibai, who was also a little bit of a little girl, and after the little girl appeared, all the problems on Qi Suibai, who had been weak and gloomy and autistic, disappeared.
Looking at the piece of white jade in Qi Suibai's hand, which was very similar to the token of the head of the family, they still didn't understand that the little ancestor came to the Qi family again twenty years ago, but all of them missed the opportunity to let Qi Suibai, this kid, pick up this big bargain for nothing.
For a while, everyone's eyes glowed green when they looked at Qi Suibai.
This is the favor of a true living immortal!
At this time, although there are still people who are skeptical, but there is so much evidence there, they can't believe it!
The old man coughed twice, "According to the records of the clan, the little ancestor will come to the nether realm every twenty or thirty years to travel, and now twenty years have passed, the little ancestor does not know when it will come, Xiaobai is the best relationship with the little ancestor in the family, the little ancestor is bold and generous, and if something leaks between his fingers, no matter how much wealth our Qi family has, it can't be bought." ”
"If you can wait until the little ancestor arrives before the old man and I die, then which of you can win the favor of the little ancestor, then you are the next head of the Qi family, if we don't have that opportunity, then I can only give the position to Xiaobai."
Speaking of this, the old man's eyes showed longing, he didn't have much to live now, how could he not expect that he could be like his father, get the gift of the little ancestor before he died, and be able to live for a few more years?
When everyone in the Qi family heard this, their eyes lit up again.
The old man can live for a few more years, and they still have a chance!
Even if you can't be the head of the family, you can see the demeanor of the little ancestor!
In the turbulent undercurrent, a sudden bell suddenly sounded in Qi Suibai's pocket.
The second child of the Qi family immediately scolded: "Xiaobai, you don't look at what kind of occasion this is, don't you know how to turn off your mobile phone before you come in?" ”
