Chapter 114: Acting as a substitute
Bai Yunbian had already gone back to his room to pack his bags and pack his appearance, but Xia Jingyun was sitting in his room, looking out the window in a daze.
He always had a feeling that the Su family's civil strife was deliberately provoked by someone, and many incidents, including the bizarre illness of the head of the Su family, could also be corroborated, but according to the method given to him by the old bishop of the White Villa that day, what he never understood was where the other party profited?
What the Su family can provide is the connections and prestige of Yunmengzhou, as well as the massive wealth of the Su family itself, oh, and thousands of clan soldiers.
According to everyone's view that the troubled times are coming, these thousands of clan soldiers will be a huge capital in the future troubled times.
If the Su family is fully supported, the other party is likely to be able to occupy a state in Yunmeng Prefecture and have thousands of elite soldiers, which is the capital to compete for the world in the future.
This is not difficult to guess, but what he can't figure out is that if there is really such a person plotting behind his back, how can the other party guarantee that he can get these?
The second room of the Su family is not a fool, its own strength is strong, if there is really a day to fight for the world, can you fight for it yourself?
Why should you give these things to an outsider?
Just that mysterious force helped him kill his eldest brother?
But according to the previous situation of the Su family, everyone in the Su family is convinced!
Suddenly, his expression moved, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be that the other party wanted to help Dafang turn the tide at such a critical moment?
After helping such a favor, if you can clear the suspicion of murdering the head of the family, you may really be able to gain the sincere friendship of the Su family, and even the pearl of the Dongting of the eldest lady of the Su family!
After all, there is no woman who fights for the world in troubled times, right?
!!!
Xia Jingyun's eyes flashed.
No way! I didn't even bother to do it! Why do you guys!
He stood up, walked around, changed his clothes, and went to Su's house to fight!
I want this Su family!
This Dongting Pearl, I. Try to ask for it! ——
"Hahaha!"
In the courtyard of the second room, I can always hear such hearty laughter recently, which is the song of the winner.
The second master of the Su family sat in the center of the main hall, looked at the few henchmen in front of him, waved his hand and smiled proudly: "There is no need to say more about compliments, although the overall situation is determined now, but there are many troubles, we should look to the future and strive to let the Su family be in my hands and carry it forward." ”
Everyone praised in unison, "The second master is wise!" ”
"Now that the third child has admitted defeat and run, we can no longer follow him as a madman to fool around like before, immediately send an order to stop all attacks and frames against court officials, and at the same time, whether it is our hardcore or the people we support, even those who originally stood on the third side, they are all appeased, give money, give land, and must minimize the impact of this matter."
"Then, whether it is the industry that we have recently snatched from the third child, or our own original ones, we will also be appeased, so that they can all relax and not spoil the situation."
"Fourth, you can handle this matter personally."
The fourth master of the Su family sat below, quickly stood up, and said respectfully: "Okay second brother, I'll do it." ”
The second master of the Su family nodded lightly, and the henchmen around him couldn't help but feel a little emotional in their hearts for the fourth master, a good young son, but now he has become a subordinate, and he is better than them.
"Then, the highlight is tomorrow's winter solstice feast."
The second master of the Su family looked pale, "Everyone understands what this matter means, and we must not make any mistakes, if anyone fails to do their part, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
Everyone was in awe.
"Okay, let's not mention more. Clean up the mess, do a good job of the winter solstice feast, and after the thing is done, you will be rewarded generously! ”
"Whoa!"
——
"What's going on over there with Second Uncle?"
In the study, Su Yanyan looked at Mr. Xun and asked.
Mr. Xun said calmly: "Celebrate with the crown, laughter." ”
Su Yanyan smiled bitterly, "This is also the way it should be." After all, in their opinion, the overall situation has long been decided. ”
Mr. Xun snorted coldly, and his always calm face showed indignation, "The strength of the big house is much stronger than them, the old man and the head of the family have accumulated for two generations, this signboard is much heavier than his second son who is going to make trouble, if he really wants to fight, what will he win!" ”
"Uncle Xun, I know your thoughts, and I also understand your feelings. But just as you advised me the day before yesterday, if we really fight, even if we win a miserable victory, what can we gain? What is left of the Su family? ”
Su Yanyan looked at him, "As a Su family, personal honor and disgrace are important, but the survival and development of the family is the most fundamental. ”
"I always think of my grandfather's teachings these days, he is willing to sue for peace with Qin Xiang for the sake of the Su family, and I can't use the foundation of the Su family as a consumption to snatch the position of the head of the family with the second uncle. The second uncle can be open-minded, regardless of it, but I can't do it. ”
"I don't plan to be caught, I still have to fight, but it's limited to fighting, if this game can't be done again, the second uncle of the family will be the second uncle!"
Mr. Xun looked at Su Yanyan, who was saying these words calmly, and saw the loneliness in the depths of her eyes.
Perhaps, just because she is a woman.
Even if she is called the Pearl of Dongting, even if she is praised by two generations of family heads, once something happens, there are still not many people who will stand on her side.
But as long as she is a man, no one dares to fight for the position of the head of the family.
Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh and arched his hand in agreement, "Yes! ”
——
Xia Jingyun sat in the carriage and came to Sujiawu again.
Lifting the curtains, the house seems to be sprinkled with a layer of golden light under the sunset.
From a distance, it is still so luxurious and magnificent against the shining Dongting Lake.
"The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk!"
Xia Jingyun put down the curtain, and Xie Rouge's eyes lit up, "Childe has another good sentence, I have to memorize it and copy it down later." ”
Xia Jingyun was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and shook his head with a smile.
"Childe is so emotional, but he thinks that the Su family is like cooking oil on fire, and the prosperity is only like this sunset?"
Xia Jingyun was really a little surprised now, in the past, he only knew that Xie Rouge was observant and delicate, and he was a good seedling for intelligence, but he didn't expect to have such a mind, so he also talked a little more, "It's a good word to be peaceful for a long time, but it often means forgetting the cruelty of this world in peace, so we need to be more prepared for danger in times of peace." ”
"The Su family has been powerful for too many years, maybe the younger generation of the Su family has long forgotten what embarrassment and hardship look like, and has long taken everything for granted."
"Think about the news we have learned these days, what have we done in order to compete for the head of the family, don't you feel distressed when you sell your master's field! Just like your previous analogy, a few dogs fight to be the first dog, eat a lot, and end up tearing up the house, is there anyone who does this? ”
"If the Su family doesn't have a good deal to deal with this time, maybe it will be the beginning of the defeat of the Su family."
He opened the curtain again and looked at Sujiawu, which was getting closer and closer, bad luck, together with the troubled times, this is [Thief Torch, Poor Scorched Earth], if you are lucky, you can still save it, and it will be developed into a tourist attraction in the future, and you will collect some tickets.
Xie Rouge smiled and said, "But since the son is here, I think he will help the Su family turn the tide." ”
Xia Jingyun waved his hand, "It's not a matter of whether it will be or not, it's a question of whether it can or not." ”
"Childe will definitely be able to."
"Hey, don't let Bai Gongzi hear this, he will be unhappy."
Xie Rouge covered his mouth and snickered, and in the laughter, they walked into Sujiawu for the second time.
Lu Yi and Mrs. Luo, who had regained contact yesterday, did not follow, if it was found that Mrs. Luo was in Sujiawu, this matter would be big or small, as a member of the Su family, she was still very restrained and soberly aware of her identity.
Therefore, Lu Yi also stayed to protect her, and the character of being entrusted by others and being loyal to others was fully revealed.
The group of six lived in the same courtyard as last time.
After sitting for a while, the Su family came to invite everyone to the meeting.
The venue is in the Juxian Hall in Sujiawu, which is specially set up for large-scale dinners.
Because of Baiyunbian's family background, Baiyunbian's position is quite high, and Xia Jingyun, who did not reveal his true identity, really became an entourage this time and sat behind Baiyunbian.
Xia Jingyun understood at a glance, it seems that this banquet was not arranged by the big house!
After a while, the guests and hosts arrived, and Xia Jingyun also saw Su Yanyan again.
is still so beautiful and beautiful, but Xia Jingyun can feel that the temperament on the other party has changed.
There is no longer a carefree jump, no longer a clever smile, more of a calm and unmoving, and a deep exhaustion.
Not only was he looking at Su Yanyan, but many people in the hall were also looking at Su Yanyan.
What they cared about was not beauty, but the position where Su Yanyan was sitting.
"It seems that the Su family really let this eldest lady be the acting head of the family!"
"That's not it, this eldest lady was personally brought up by Mrs. Su, and the head of the Su family didn't have any more children with his wife in order to ensure that his daughter took over."
"But people are not as good as heaven, the head of the Su family suddenly had an accident, and in this position, his daughter is afraid that she will not be able to sit steadily!"
"Isn't it all spreading, the second master of the Su family wants to grab his niece's position!"
"I'm afraid I've grabbed it all now! Now that we're back, maybe we'll be able to participate in an additional succession ceremony for the head of the family. ”
The discussion buzzed until a voice spoke up, "Everyone, be quiet! ”
Everyone followed the prestige, and it was the second master of the Su family who spoke.
I saw that after the second master of the Su family calmed the scene with a word, he slowly stood up, walked directly to the hall, and arched his hand towards everyone, "Everyone, thank you for your love, you are not far away to participate in my Su family's winter solstice banquet." Here, on behalf of the Su family, I would like to thank you! ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
According to the past practice, these words were all for the head of the family to speak, and the second master of the Su family opened his mouth so openly, did he already hold the eldest lady of the Su family?
Countless pairs of eyes looked at the beautiful girl sitting on the main seat in the center.
Su Yanyan's eyes were lowered, he sat still, and he didn't react at all, like a clay bodhisattva, like a woodcut doll, it seemed to be a tacit acquiescence, and it seemed to be a helpless and aggrieved protest.
Is it planned to govern by the second room, and the sacrifice is the big house?
Or haven't you had time to go through the procedure to usurp power?
No matter what, everyone finally confirmed the news, that is, the big house also acquiesced to the second room's overstepping, and the Su family really changed.
So, under the leadership of a group of clever people, everyone got up together and saluted the second master of the Su family, "Thank you for the kindness of the Su family!" ”
"No need to be polite, please take a seat!"
The second master laughed, and in the laughter, he was full of ambition and high spirits.
Reflecting the pearl of the cave, it became more and more dim.
