Chen Chuan stared, jumped high and grabbed the leaves.

The golden leaves are made of gold, and the Sanskrit words on them are clearly Buddhist words.

Chen Chuan didn't know much about Sanskrit, so he handed the leaves to Chen Xingze, who also frowned and shook his head.

"This should be left by Master Xuanwu, I'll show it to the second brother when I go back and see if he recognizes it. Chen Xingze spoke, putting the golden leaves in the storage box.

The appearance of the golden leaves did not make several people feel better, Chen Chuan shook his head in frustration, and the bits and pieces of the past with Xinxin kept flashing in his mind.

At this time, Chen Xianze and Bailitan came to the main hall, Bailitan was full of smiles, looked at Chen Xingze and said: "I see that master took away the little daughter of the Chen family, congratulations to the Chen family for being able to get married to Buddhism." ”

Bailitan's expression was very sincere, and it could be seen that he was truly envious of the Chen family.

Chen Xingze barely squeezed out a smile and responded politely: "Zhixin can have such an honor, and I am also happy for him." ”

Bailitan and Chen Xingze exchanged pleasantries, the purpose of his coming to Chen Xingze was mainly to ask the clansmen when they would return to Silverstone Waterfall, and now only Baili Yuheng and Chen Bao are guarding Silverstone Waterfall.

If the Chen family's clansmen who mine the silver stone mine do not return to the silver stone waterfall for a day, the two families will have less spiritual stone income for one day, so Bailitan came to inquire.

"Regarding the matter of returning to Silverstone Falls, I think it is better to wait for a while, after all, we don't know if the Duan family will turn back, it is better to be cautious. Chen Xingze said with his fists clenched.

"Okay, then listen to the Chen family's arrangement. Bailitan smiled.

Chen Chuan and Chen Feng sat on the threshold of the main hall, looking at the blue sky, and the two digested the sadness of Xinxin's departure.

Bailitan patted Chen Chuan on the shoulder when he walked out of the main hall, and said with a smile: "That's her blessing, how many people in the world want to enter the Buddha Gate but can't find the entrance, don't be depressed, one day you will be proud of her." ”

Chen Chuan smiled bitterly and nodded, there are infinite possibilities in the future, but who can really know what will happen in the future?

Until the sun turned west, Chen Chuan had never left the hall, and he had already pressed it in his heart about Xinxin's departure, and now he was thinking about family affairs.

Chen Xingze flipped through the scrolls of ancient books in the main hall, occasionally glanced at Chen Chuan at the threshold, and then continued to flip through the books.

"Fourth uncle, I have some thoughts on the development of the family, and I want to discuss it with you. Chen Chuan walked into the main hall and sat on a wooden chair.

Chen Xingze said with great interest: "Let's hear it." ”

"Population is the first factor in development, whether it is the number of mortals or the number of monks, so I propose to speed up the reproduction of the clansmen. ”

In the past few decades, the population of the Chen family has been relatively small, and the main reason for the slow reproduction of the population is because the family is barren and remote.

The Bai family, which is closest to the Chen family, is still a family that is opposed to the Chen family, so it is difficult to find a suitable marriage partner.

Chen Xingze touched his chin, shook his head and said, "Accumulating spirit stones is to cultivate you, as your cultivation improves, you will need more and more spirit stones, have you ever thought about this?"

"Fourth uncle, if I have an accident one day, what should the Chen family do? I don't want the family to bet their fate on me alone, the fate of the family should be handed over to every clan, no matter how strong a person is, he can't be stronger than a family," Chen Chuan said righteously, this is his sincere words from the heart.

Chen Xingze smiled with relief, he didn't expect that Chen Chuan's pattern was already so high, and this kind of family strength and weakness could be analyzed so thoroughly.

"Okay, according to your words, develop the number of family members. Chen Xingze agreed with Chen Chuan's proposal, although the older generation advocated the view that one person is strong and the family is strong, but he knows very well that the future Chen family is the younger generation, and he has to let go when it is time to let go.

In the next afternoon, the two studied the plan for speeding up the population of the Chen family in the attic hall, and finally determined the implementation method.

For the existing single people of the Chen family, first of all, all men are married to daughters-in-law, and all men under the age of 60 must marry daughters-in-law, if conditions permit, men can marry two daughters-in-law, but at most they can marry two. The second is to recruit sons-in-law, and to recruit husbands for all women under the age of forty.

As for the casual cultivation, the two also formulated a simple plan, as long as they joined the Chen family's casual cultivation, the Chen family could provide them with monthly spiritual stones, and the treatment was no different from that of the Chen family.

At dusk, Chen Chuan walked out of the main hall, he walked around Zhaobi Mountain, and called all the clansmen to the attic hall.

Those who can stay on the mountain are all clansmen who can be cultivated by the Chen family, whether it is the congenital stage or the qi refining period, they are all clansmen with cultivation talents.

The attic hall is not very large, and at this time it was already crowded with clansmen, about twenty people.

Chen Xingze looked at the familiar faces, and suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart, the family had indeed ignored these clansmen who were not very talented over the years.

Clearing his throat, Chen Xingze said loudly: "Calling everyone over today, there are a few important things to decide with you." ”

"The first thing is about the marriage and reproduction of the family, the family has been too poor in recent years, and has not been able to reproduce incense in time, resulting in a sparse family population, so I decided to marry all the clansmen from today onwards. ”

Chen Xingze announced the completion of the marriage match, everyone shouted happily, marriage is the nature of human beings, and the continuation of offspring is the most primitive behavior, no one does not desire the love of men and women, so after hearing about this, everyone was very excited.

Chen Xingze sighed when he saw the clansmen so happy, and the guilt in his heart became even stronger.

"The second thing, we need to elect a young patriarch, my eldest brother as the patriarch of the family, since he left the family fifty years ago, there has been no news of him, we can't wait for him all the time, and our older generation is gradually passing away, so I propose to elect a young patriarch first, in case of trouble. When Chen Xingze said this, he carefully observed the reactions of each clansman, and finally he stopped his gaze on Chen Chuan.

The clansmen were in an uproar, and even Chen Chuan frowned, Chen Xingze announced this matter too suddenly, and everyone was obviously unprepared.

Chen Xingze let everyone talk about each other, everyone will have a young patriarch in their hearts, and he only needs to wait for the results of the clansmen's discussions.

After discussing for half an hour, everyone gradually quieted down, and a middle-aged man in his forties took the lead in standing up and said: "Fourth uncle, the young patriarch can only be a capable person, and I think Chen Chuan is the most suitable person." "The person who spoke was the sixth brother of Chen Chuan, named Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao is a second-level cultivator of Qi refining, and now he is forty-seven years old, and he has some status in the family, and he is the clansman in charge of the Chen family's scripture pavilion.

Although the Chen family's scripture collection pavilion does not have a lot of spiritual skills and other resources, being able to take on this important task can also show that Chen Xiao has a certain ability.

"I think Aunt Chen Feng is more suitable, after all, Aunt Chen Feng is already in the late stage of Qi refining, and her cultivation is the highest among her peers. Chen Zhirong said.

The clansmen put forward their opinions one by one, and Chen Xingze listened carefully to the suggestions of the big family.

In general, the candidates for the young patriarch are fixed on Chen Feng and Chen Chuan.

Chen Xingze is also not arbitrary, and uses a very fair way to let everyone vote by raising their hands.

There were nine people who supported Chen Feng's election as the young patriarch, thirteen people who supported Chen Chuan's election, and a few who did not participate in the voting, so in the end, Chen Chuan became the new generation of the young patriarch of the Chen family and the future guide of the Chen family.

Chen Chuan frowned slightly, he preferred to be a person behind him than the identity of the young patriarch, so he was a little resistant to the title of young patriarch.

"Fourth uncle, let Sister Chen Feng sit in the position of young patriarch. Chen Chuan put forward his ideas to Chen Xingze for the first time.

"There is no need to discuss this matter, and there will be no mistake in everyone's choice. Chen Xingze clenched his fists and bowed to Chen Chuan.

Seeing this, the other clansmen immediately clenched their fists and bent down, shouting in unison: "Congratulations to the young patriarch." ”

Chen Chuan hurriedly came to Chen Xingze's side, supported Chen Xingze's arm with both hands and said, "Fourth Uncle tortures my nephew, how can I accept your gift." ”

"The elders and young have dignity and humility, and their status is high and low, which is a gift to the young patriarch. Chen Xingze patted Chen Chuan on the shoulder, and his eyes were full of expectation and respect for Chen Chuan.

"I know your talent best, it won't be long before you are the first person in the family, if I become a young patriarch, I will be the one who will be embarrassed by then. Chen Feng smiled slightly, and when she just raised her hand to vote, she voted for Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan scratched his head, nodded at Chen Feng, then looked at the clansmen who were bent over and clenched their fists, and sighed and said, "Since this is the case, then Chen Chuan has no choice but to obey his fate." ”
