Chapter 1351: Arrangements for the Inner Courtyard
I was shocked in my heart, if that day really came......
"Child,"
Before he had time to think about it, Fourth Master Nalan reminded softly: "Are you okay, you've arrived at the door, do you bring the key?"
"Brought it," I figured back.
"That's good," the fourth master didn't think much about, "Then you can go in by yourself, and I'll accompany your grandfather!"
"Okay," I replied, the moment I opened the door.
"By the way," Fourth Master Nalan remembered at this moment, "Take Xin'er tonight, and your family will go to my place for dinner."
"Well," I replied, "it's all up to Grandpa."
Come to think of it, this meal is also a four-room celebration banquet.
If it were a normal meal, I would probably decline this meal politely.
But right now, Mrs. Nalan's arrangement seems to be intended to let Sifang protect me in the future.
If I were a zombie's secret, there would be a day when it would be exposed.
With the promise of the fourth master of the family, Nalan, in the future, I will have one less entanglement with the Xuanmen.
So now, it seems more humble than ever.
"Okay," Fourth Master Nalan waved his hand with a smile, "Go back and have a good rest!"
The sound fell, and he turned around and hurried to the villa of Mrs. Nalan.
Thinking about this extraordinary period, the fourth master of Nalan must be in front of the bed.
coincided with the liberation of the siege of the Blood Demon, and the position of the fourth master of Nalan was completely stable.
When I got back to the villa, I lay straight on the couch......
What I care about the most in my mind is always the oath that Mrs. Nalan pulled me in front of the hall.
is a good Nalan grandfather, perhaps, he is over 100 years old, far less resourceful than Jiang Ling's grandfather.
But Mrs. Nalan is very skillful, and he knows the truth of binding too well.
One is prosperous, one is lost, and he deliberately tied me to the fourth room.
In order to hope that in the future, there will be no less trouble because of the corpse disaster, so he is destined to help the fourth master of Nalan and sit firmly in the position of the family.
But it doesn't hurt right now.
I casually opened "Xuanwu Arithmetic"...... But this book, most of the ancient records, plus my way of being able to do the truth, was originally not proficient.
For a while, my head hit when I saw it, and I couldn't enter the door late.
Knowing that the ancient book turned to the spell was a spell to drive Xuanwu, I immediately got up and looked at it attentively.
North Malaysia, as long as you can channel and borrow the law, you don't pay attention to too much personal cultivation.
Therefore, the book is detailed in detail, but it is difficult to memorize the Fa decision......
I kept flipping through the books, rote memorization, and in an afternoon, I also memorized the mantra of Xuanwu.
Night is falling......
Just when Chen Anran and Tang Qianwen started to prepare dinner.
The doorbell rang suddenly.
"It's coming," Tang Qianwen hurriedly stepped forward, and when she opened the door, she saw Nalan Xin standing at the door timidly.
"Miss Nalan," Tang Qianwen bowed slightly, "You're back...... Just in time, we were just getting ready to cook."
"There's no need to prepare me and Jiang Cheng," Nalan Xin smiled lightly, "Grandpa asked us to go to the fourth room and have a family banquet!"
After speaking, Nalan Xin walked closer to herself, looked at my gaze, dodged slightly, and even her voice was a little timid: "That, Jiang Cheng...... Grandpa said, let you go over for dinner."
"Okay," I closed the Xuanwu Arithmetic in response, since this is the secret technique of the Nalan family. It's also inconvenient for me to throw it on the coffee table in front of Nalan Xin.
I can only keep it cherished, but on the way, I asked Nalan Xin curiously: "By the way, have you read the book "Xuanwu Arithmetic" in my hand just now?"
"I saw it once by chance," Nalan Xin didn't hide it.
Perhaps because of the current situation, she couldn't hide her weakness, so she used this topic to try to ease her anger: "Xuanwu arithmetic, it is the backer of the inner hall, and only those who enter the inner hall can drive Xuanwu...... Of course, this inner hall also covers the descendants of each house and the people who have entered the Nalan family, and you can understand that the Nalan family who live in the inner courtyard can learn "Xuanwu Arithmetic"
……
After saying that, she was taken aback, and she was a little afraid of her own words, but it would lower the Nalan family's weight on me.
Hurriedly explained: "However, when we learn Xuanwu arithmetic, we are all young and old in each room, and it is passed on by word of mouth, unlike you, it was Grandpa Tai who personally passed on the original volume of "Xuanwu Arithmetic"."
"How do you know this was given to me by Master Nalan!?" I was a little surprised, I thought about it, it wouldn't be the fourth master of Nalan, who had already publicized all these things in the fourth room.
"Of course you know, the original book is in the hands of Grandpa, you can't steal it, right?"
Nalan Xin broke the embarrassment with a smile, and suddenly, the girl raised her eyebrows: "Jiang Cheng, can I use a secret to ask you to do something!?"
"Please!?"
I couldn't help but be stunned: "Then it depends on your secret, whether it's private enough!"
"You," Nalan Xinqiao blushed, "I'm serious with you!"
"Alright," I put away, "Tell me, let me hear first, what a secret!"
"It's about the book "Xuanwu Arithmetic" in your hand......
Nalan Xin immediately revealed: "You have also seen the appearance of Xuanwu illusions, and it is said that the cracks that appear in Xuanwu can go directly to the South Heavenly Gate!"
"You mean the Xuanwu Illusion?" I was shocked.
"Yes," Nalan Xin said frankly, "In fact, the nine shades of heaven and earth, the three realms were originally mutually figured out, Kunlun Mountain was the passage to the heavenly realm in the past, and then I don't know why, Kunlun Mountain received the ladder to heaven, but the passage between the heavenly realm and the human world is in the mystery of Xuanwu, and the nine shadows also have a road to the heavenly realm."
"As for the Yang Realm and the Nine Netherworlds, I don't need to show it off in front of you," Nalan Xin's eyes drooped, "After all, many Xuanwu classics are still recorded today."
"Cut," I waved my hand, "what kind of secret is this, people stare at each other, and the sky and the earth are not in the blink of an eye!"
"Hey," Nalan Xin's beautiful eyes changed, "I said it, but seriously...... You, you don't mean to cheat, do you?"
"What's your secret?" I pretended to be dismissive: "The privacy of this secret is of little value!"
"Not worth it yet? I,"
Nalan Xin muttered, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have told you at all, this is the secret of our Nalan family, which has been guarded for thousands of years, how to get from the crack to the heavenly realm, is also in your ancient book."
"In the ancient books?"
I took out the ancient book and opened it: "Then your grandfather can be considered to guard against me, because the beginning of the book was deliberately torn off!"
That's right, I was curious earlier.
Why was the first page of the book torn off?
It's just that the general outline of the catalog is still behind, and it doesn't affect the reference, so I didn't care.
But when Nalan Xin mentioned it, I suddenly realized: "The page that I want to tear off is the secret you said."
"I," Nalan Xin looked frustrated.
Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but soften: "Okay, your secret is greatly discounted for this, but you can tell me first, what do you want me to do...... If it's a gesture, or if it's a room tonight, I can consider it!"
"You," Nalan Xin bit her thin lip, her face flushing with shame.
And in the delay between the conversations, the two have quietly walked to the four-bedroom villa area.
In a blink of an eye, he followed Nalan Xin to the villa of the fourth master of Nalan.
In the dining room, the fourth master of Nalan had already taken everyone to their seats.
No wonder Fourth Master Nalan would say it was a family banquet...... Because there were only the fourth masters of Nalan present, as well as Nalan Chuang's father and son, and Nalan Zhengde. There is no one else.
And this time, not only the fourth master of Nalan, but even Nalan Xin's father was even more enthusiastic: "Quick, Jiang Cheng hurry up and sit down."
"Okay," I answered with Nalan Xin and sat down on the right hand side of the fourth master.
Before I came, I had a guess in my mind.
As soon as the chopsticks were raised, the fourth master of Nalan asked about the inner courtyard, how to place it.
He held his glass
, drank heartily, and talked about the goodwill of the seven rooms.
also talked about it, Liufang borrowed the name of me saving Nalan Wenjing, and made a special trip to thank him.
This gratitude, expressed to the fourth master of Nalan, also means that in the future, the sixth room can be regarded as supporting the fourth room.
"But then,"
The fourth master of Nalan beckoned everyone to clink glasses, and after drinking the wine, he said sadly: "The rest of the forces of each house have become trouble, and I don't know how to collect the power of each hall."
"It's not easy,"
I didn't plan to keep it this time, because I was leaving for Jiang's house tomorrow.
And Mrs. Nalan is dying, and it seems that there is not much time left.
The Nalan family can be integrated as soon as possible, firstly, it can be regarded as reassuring the Nalan family, and secondly, if the catastrophe is coming, if you really want to rely on the help of the Nalan family, then you must calm down the affairs of the inner courtyard this morning.
"In fact, most of the conflicts in the family are caused by interests!"
I mentioned in a nutshell at the moment, "If interests and power are not deprived, who will make waves and become the target of public criticism!? The power of the Nalan family in seven houses is not everyone covets the position of the family......
"Yes," Nalan Zhengde replied on the spot, "The long room is!"
"I didn't say a word to deny the people of the Seven Rooms, what I said was the vast majority."
I don't have a good face for Nalan Zhengde, and the topic of the moment, he retorted meaninglessly: "For example, the seventh room, what they are afraid of now is that they are afraid that after giving up the position of a class, they will be suppressed by other forces, as for the fifth room, what they love is money...... It's a standard conflict of interest."
I boldly assumed: "If you change the way, even if you take back the Nalan family's property in Sifang now, will there be a business wizard in Sifang? Is there the power of a merchant?"
"This," Fourth Master Nalan was dumbfounded, he knew that most of the four rooms were mediocre.
"So," I boldly proposed, "it is simply similar to Zhao'an, lightly allowing the five-room finance, and continuing to hand over the business transactions to the five-room as a condition, you might as well boldly propose a cut to make expenses."
"As for the sixth room, others show favor, of course, they have to entrust them with important tasks, and the talents of the Nalan family in the sixth room simply divide the teaching of the outer door into the sixth room, and distribute financial salaries to improve the life of the sixth room."
"Hmm," Fourth Master Nalan nodded, as if he had a trade-off.
"Finally, there are the second and third rooms," I thought, "and they are the most tricky, and for now, we can let the seven rooms instigate it, and it doesn't hurt to cause some disputes...... However, it is necessary to mediate in a timely manner, after all, the second and third rooms, they are just unwilling to lose power, and when necessary, they will lightly allow inconsequential power, so that they mistakenly think that they can be guaranteed in the Nalan family, at least they can protect the rights of the current talker, then they will die down, at least they will not face off with the fourth room."
"What about the longhouse?" Nalan Chuang's father asked urgently.
"The long house can't be Zhao'an," I believe, "The long house has indeed coveted the position of the head of the family for a long time, and if each room goes to Zhao'an, it will only appear to be four rooms, too indecisive, and it is always necessary to suppress some people, after all, the superior must also need some deterrence to kill chickens and monkeys, and the people in the long house are over eighty years old, and they are already old...... Now that I have a dislike with the seventh room, if I have five rooms in Zhao'an, the people in the long room will not be able to make any waves at all!"
I said secretively: "The huge Nalan family, there are so many people in the inner courtyard, it is impossible to respect each other as guests, there must always be a contradictory direction, and there must be a force for suppression, otherwise those who have nothing to stay behind, do you think they are all jumping bands in the inner courtyard!?"
"Poof," Nalan Xin couldn't help but smile.
Although my words were a little mean, they could be regarded as pointing out the direction for the fourth master of Nalan.
Think about it......
"You don't have a long-term solution," Nalan Zhengde immediately pointed out, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, with your strategy, you may be able to achieve miraculous results at first, but if you continue like this, you will eventually have troubles."
"Yes, after all, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants," Fourth Master Nalan also understood: "This is the reason why it can't feed the vicious dogs of the wolf's ambitions."
"You're still pointing to the long run!?"
I broke it in one sentence: "Zhao'an is only for a while, such as
If this goes on for a long time, the four-room has no means, find a way to replace the people in each hall, and the four-room home will be vacated sooner or later!"
"Let's put it simply,"
I immediately removed my wine glass and drew on the table: "After Zhao'an has five rooms, it has appeased people's hearts, thus suppressing the forces of the long house, and the long house has become the target of public criticism, so it is natural to close the hall and release the people, according to the rules of the Nalan family, the people of the fourth room will take over the two halls, and in the joint seven rooms, the forces of the second and third rooms will be reined in, step by step......
I believe, "As long as you don't rush and appease people's hearts, it is only a matter of time before you take power!"
"What if someone insists on refusing to give up a force?" Nalan Zhengde asked inexplicably.
"Such a stupid question, you ask me?"
My eyes sank, and I hinted at the answer with a long sense of turbidity......
However, it was this hint that doomed them to make a mistake and misinterpreted what I meant.
