The results of the Hi family meeting quickly spread on a small scale, and of course those who had the ability to get the news were all members of the Hi family, or at least core ministers. For example, the two directors of Baohou Mansion, Zhao Bai, belong to the core personnel who are qualified to know the inside story.

Compared with the Su family, which has just risen and has only been more than 20 years so far, the Zhao and Bai families are all old courtiers who have followed the Baohou Mansion for hundreds of years. The depth of the heritage in Baonan City and within the Ji family is far from being comparable to that of a mere owner of Tieling Village.

However, although the Zhao Bai family is the head of the Ji family, the relationship between them is average-if the relationship between the subordinates is too close, then the master will have to worry. Therefore, they usually don't interact much, sometimes they will deliberately show some contradictions to the outside world, and occasionally they will support different factions within the Ji family, and make diametrically opposed voices on some issues...... Only in this way can the head of the Ji family rest assured?

Of course, in reality, they know exactly when to cooperate with each other, after all, how many years have passed. For example, this time, after inquiring about the content of the meeting of the Hi family, the two managers met "by chance" during a leisure drink......

"Ha, Brother Zhao, what a coincidence. ”

"Yo, Brother Bai, it's rare. ”

The two of them looked quite surprised, and they habitually piled up a smile on their faces, and they seemed to look down on each other a little. But since we met, it was not good to leave immediately, so we touched each other's cups and chatted for a while......

In public, of course, it is impossible for the two chief executives to say anything confidential, it is nothing more than some recent news gossip. And what can make the two chief managers of the Ji family pay attention to it is obviously not a trivial matter between the market, more or less, it will still be a little "secret" nature.

- For example, the Huang family, who has recently become famous, is a good topic.

"I can't imagine that such a small place as Baonan can breed such talents. ”

"Hehe, I heard that Brother Zhao has a grandson, and this year he is also going to the pickaxe capital to participate in the ceremony of opening the gate of heaven. ”

"Hehe, blowing casually to others, it's not good to talk nonsense in front of Brother Bai - in fact, it's just a distant relative, a little bit of kinship. ”

"Since you have obtained Kunlun's mountain worship token, no matter how far away the bloodline is, it must be more important than your grandson - in the future, the lintel of the Zhao family may be on him. ”

"Haha, then thanks to my brother's auspicious words. If you can really worship the immortal mountain, it will really be a step to the sky-there is a ready-made example in front of you...... I heard that Brother Bai's family is interested in marrying him?"

"Humble Jing originally had this idea, but unfortunately now the main line of the Ji clan also seems to have this plan, so it must not be able to compete with the main family. ”

"Hehe, indeed, it is the master's family and this intention, and our subordinates naturally have to give priority to the master's will - then again, if that person is really as rumored to be, he is a disciple of Kunlun's sect, like an ordinary family like us, he really can't climb high. ”

——The topic finally returned to the Huang family, and the two housekeepers smiled at each other tacitly. After chatting for a while, it was not only about the Huang family, but also about some trends and trends within the Ji family, so that after exchanging information with each other, how to deal with it in the future naturally had a tacit understanding.

It's just that at the end, the two mentioned their colleague again: Su Laosan.

"Our 'third brother' doesn't seem to be in a good mood lately. ”

"That's natural, I haven't suffered any big losses in 20 years, but I have planted a fight with a junior, and it's no wonder that my mood can get better. ”

"He doesn't seem to know the other party's background yet, and still thinks it's an ordinary Kunlun disciple - is it necessary to remind him?"

"Hehe, we are also in charge of the family, so we should help each other, but our third brother seems to really think that we stewards should not make friends with each other. ”

There was a sense of dissatisfaction in the tone of Manager Zhao - originally, everyone was on an errand in the Ji family, and the so-called "disagreement" was just for the superiors to see, and helping each other and supporting each other was the long-term way. At that time, the sons of the Ji family competed for the position of the prince, and Zhao Bai and the two each supported the older son, but they failed to succeed. However, Su Tiecheng, who was born in casual cultivation, hugged the right thigh, and the servant Ji Tiandu finally became the prince of Baohou. And because of this, he rose to prominence and rose to the top of the family, becoming the third governor of the Baohou Mansion.

That's it, after all, everyone has good luck, and when the Zhao Bai family rose back then, it was because they voted for the right master that they established a family. However, in the face of the overtures and reminders of these "old-timers", Su Tiecheng put on a lonely posture, only recognizing the posture of Ji Tiandu, and behaving in the world, completely wanting to draw a line with them.

- This is an ignorant behavior, the immortal cultivation family is not different from those mortal families, it will often rise because of the strength of one or two people, but it will also decline due to the death of the strong. Therefore, those immortal clans that can exist for a long time may not be the strongest at that time, but they must have enough background to survive the temporary disadvantage, so that they can survive for a long time.

In this case, as a small family that also works for Baohou, it is very necessary to support each other, because no one knows when their own family will be unlucky, and they have to rely on others to help them get through the difficulties. When the Su clan rose before, the two families also "suppressed" it as usual at first, but after finding that they couldn't suppress it, they immediately adopted a cooperative and acquiescing attitude, and also gave a secret hint afterwards.

hated Su Tiecheng but did not appreciate it, and acted so arrogantly, if he didn't give them these old-timers face, it would naturally cause a backlash, maybe not intense, but silent.

- For example, the content of this internal meeting of the Ji family, the participants will definitely not tell outsiders, but Zhao Bai and the two managers have the ability to get the news. And the third manager of Su San, it seems that his strength in this area is still a little worse, although he is a cronie of Ji Tiandu, he has not heard any news at all.

"Since he thinks he's very powerful, then we don't have to be sentimental. Anyway, if you do something yourself, you will bear the consequences, isn't it just right? ”

Manager Zhao made a decision, and Manager Bai agreed with it, the two of them are not like the arrogant Su, and the tacit understanding formed over the years of cooperation with each other. There are even in-laws quietly with each other, and there is a tradition of supporting them from generation to generation.

So the two of them laughed, drained the wine in their glasses, and dispersed.
