117.Chapter 117: The Work of the Head of the House
Although Shen Jiabao has never been the head of the family before, he still participates in the affairs of the council room, although Shen Jiabao is obsessed with cultivation and makes soy sauce for family management, but at least he still knows how to draw a scoop according to the gourd, but it is a little difficult to draw.

However, after reading more than a dozen files, an incident made Shen Jiabao angry.
"Hmph! This Fan family is too deceitful! A little Fan family actually dares to make trouble in our Shen family's restaurant, and falsely claims that there is a problem with our wine and food. Let a few disciples teach them a lesson!"
Yun Xiao hurriedly stopped: "Brother Shen, you can't look at it like this, although the Fan family is small, but behind the Fan family is the Xiao family......
"Xiao family, Xiao Youyou, the head of the Xiao family, and I ...... Well, be good friends with me, and you won't favor the Fan family. β
"I believe that the Shen family is friendly with the Xiao family, and I also believe in the affection between you and the Xiao family, Brother Shen, but after all, the Fan family is a subsidiary of the Xiao family, and it is said that in this battle in the Xianyun Secret Realm, the Xiao family is the only one who did not take advantage of the fire to rob the Shen family. If our Shen family has a conflict with the Xiao family for the sake of a Fan family, it will make others think that our Shen family is too bad at being a person. β
"Uh...... This, this...... That's right...... Mr. Liu, what you say is indeed right, but ...... But can you just let this little Fan family invade my Shen family?"
"Hehe, of course not, the student roughly estimates that although this Fan family is a subsidiary of the Xiao family, but this time I came out to invade the Shen family, I am afraid that there are still people behind it. If the Shen family completely swallows their anger, then their reputation will inevitably be lowered again. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate it. β
"This ...... This...... I can't teach the Fan family a lesson, and I can't tolerate it, how can this be good?" Shen Jiabao only felt that his head was big, and it was easy for him to destroy the Fan family, but if he wanted to solve this matter perfectly, he was really at a loss.
"Actually, it's not that hard. Yun Xiao chuckled and clicked on the map on the wall of the council hall: "I checked just now, the Fan family is mainly engaged in water transportation. And there is such an area on the edge of the waterway, but it belongs to the Shen family's sphere of influence. We can ask the disciples of the Shen family to excuse something, for example, isn't Qiqi just advanced? Just let Qiqi say that there is a banquet here. As long as this section of the waterway is blocked and this section of water transportation is cut off, hehe, I'm afraid the Fan family will be dumbfounded in a few days. If the Shen family does not let it for a day, the goods of the Fan family will not be able to circulate from here. This is the territory of the Shen family, and the Shen family can do whatever they want, but it is not the turn of the Fan family to speak. In this way, the Fan family naturally knew what to do. β
"It turns out that it can still be ...... like this", this kind of planning, Shen Jiabao can only sigh.
"Of course, it's not good just like this, after all, the Fan family is a subsidiary of the Xiao family, so in addition to punishing the Fan family, it's best to let Shen Qiqi visit the head of the Xiao family and bring some valuable gifts. In this way, while punishing the Fan family, he will not have a bad relationship with the Xiao family. β
"Yoyo, she won't blame me. β
"Hehe, Brother Shen, I believe that the head of the Xiao family will not blame you, but she is not the only one in the Xiao family. There are still many interest groups among them, and the head of the Xiao family will naturally not fight you for the Fan family, but how can she explain to the rest of the Xiao family?"
"Ah...... Yoyo is the head of the family, why do you need ......?"
"Brother Shen, it is because he is the head of the family that he can't be selfish anymore, and the more he has to forget his own position and think more from the standpoint of the family...... If you do whatever you want as the head of the family, regardless of the interests of other clansmen, how can you be qualified to be the head of the family?"
"............" Shen Jiabao was stunned.
After hearing this sentence, Shen Jiabao's eyes flashed with the light of memory, but after the recollection, Shen Jiabao's face showed a look of sudden realization, but this sudden realization was more with self-blame and guilt.
Yun Xiao looked at Shen Jiabao with a smile, as if he had seen a sad love history that had happened to him. This Shen Jiabao is also a person with a story......
In this way, Shen Jiabao was really busy on the day of "acting head of the family", even if he was assisted by Yunxiao, he was really dizzy. When Shen Jiabao stood up from the case, he only felt that his whole head was about to explode, which was more tiring than fighting with demon beasts in the mountains and fields for several days.
Fortunately, I finally read all the papers...... Replies were also made in turn.
It's just that I'm too tired and tired.
Shen Jiabao glanced at Yun Xiao gratefully, feeling that this gentleman was still helping by his side, if it wasn't for Yun Xiao, he might not even be able to deal with a third of it......
After dealing with the family's affairs for a day, Shen Jiabao was already ready to rest, but Yun Xiao stopped him.
"Brother Shen, now is not the time to rest, you still have to go to the wedding of the son of the stone steward in the city lord's mansion to marry his wife. Steward Shi is the closest confidant of the city lord, and he only had this son in his fifties, and this banquet is a must. If you are hungry, you can go and eat something to quench your hunger, and then we will immediately leave for the feast in Shifu. β
"What, what?" Shen Jiabao was shocked: "Do you still want to go to the banquet? This, what are you going to do with this kind of thing? Doesn't this delay the time for cultivation?"
Faintly, Shen Jiabao was even a little afraid. Although he hadn't tasted fear for a long time, Shen Jiabao had to admit that he couldn't rest after a busy day and had to go to this inexplicable banquet, which made Shen Jiabao feel scared......
Nima, is it so tiring to be the head of the house?
"A banquet is a must, and only by participating in such a gathering can the Shen family maintain its relationship with the City Lord's Mansion. β
"Our Shen family doesn't have to be afraid of the city lord, right?"
"The Shen family is naturally not afraid of the city lord, but at present, the strength of the four major families is balanced, if it is against the city lord, when the Shen family fights with the Zhao family or the Li family, the city lord comes out to help one side, Brother Shen, what can you do?"
"This ...... This...... But it's just a steward, and I'm going to go in person?" Shen Jiabao was puzzled.
"What's more, as a stone steward, although he is only a steward now, it is said that the city master has improved his cultivation, and he will return to the capital of Wu Kingdom in the near future to ascend, and most of the people who inherit the position of the city lord are this stone steward. Even if it wasn't for this stone steward, as an old steward in this chapter of Huacheng for decades, Shi Steward would have a very high influence on the next city lord. So this time, when the son of the stone steward marries a wife, the patriarchs of the four major families should all be present. Therefore, unless it is a very important event, as the head of the family, it is necessary to participate. β
"Well, then, I'll go. But aren't you going to a banquet? Why do you want me to eat first? Isn't a banquet just a place to eat and drink?"
Yun smiled and said, "Brother Shen, you are too naΓ―ve, things like banquets in the upper class are never eaten. If you do go there to eat, you're afraid you'll be laughed at. And...... It's the face of the entire Shen family that is lost. β
Shen Jiabao was dumbfounded, and only felt like a big fool who didn't understand anything.
A lively and churning banquet.
Shen Jiabao felt the taste of a splitting headache again.
He has always been happy and quiet, and the scene of gongs and drums in front of him and people surging in front of him really makes him really uncomfortable. It was even more uncomfortable than fighting with the desolate beasts of southern Xinjiang for three days and three nights......
Shen Jiabao doesn't care about the congratulatory words or anything, it's all this routine anyway, and Shen Jiabao can barely bear it. But as the acting head of the Shen family, naturally someone came over from time to time, and from time to time I heard a few words of ridicule that I didn't know where it came from. The words are nothing more than the words that Shen Jiabao has not advanced for twenty-four years, and there is no one in the Shen family.
Shen Jiabao was naturally angry about such words, but it was a pity that even if he didn't have a lot of directors, he knew that it was impossible to make trouble with people on this occasion, so he could only grit his teeth and suppress it.
"Brother Shen, who is this person, who does he dare to say those inconsequential words in front of the Shen family?"
"I don't know ......" Shen Jiabao smiled bitterly: "I practice at home all the year round, where do I know this person......"
After smiling bitterly for a while, Shen Jiabao said a little dazedly: "Sir, you say, does Jiarui recognize and remember all the people here?"
