Chapter 81 The Battle between the Successors (II)
"The position of the head of the family should be passed down to the descendants of the previous head of the family. How dare Changzhi steal it?"
Wang Changzhi shook his head. He was not interested in being the head of the family. The affairs of Liaodong County alone made him anxious. He had no time to deal with family affairs.
As soon as this statement came out, Wang Changsheng and Wang Changtu were overjoyed.
Wang Changnian couldn't help it.
Wang Roujing, who was beside him, grabbed Wang Changnian's hand and told him not to be impulsive.
"Changzhi, the head of the family has long been intentional about placing you, so you cannot refuse." Xu Caiwei, who was sad about losing her husband, decided to follow her husband's last wish.
"Mother? You?" Wang Changtu was puzzled. Why did his mother not support his children but instead support others?
Wang Changsheng sighed, he was a filial person, and his mother did not support him, so he was embarrassed to rob him.
"But I am the prefect of Liaodong, so how can I have time to deal with family affairs?" Wang Changzhi continued to shirk.
Wang Changnian was overjoyed. Now Wang Changji didn't want to fight. Wang Changzhi gave up voluntarily. Wang Changsheng lost the support of his biological mother again, and he won the support of four sisters from Wang Yue's lineage.
"If Cousin Changzhi has no time to deal with family affairs, then we have to recommend others as heads of the family. I think Cousin Chang Nian is very suitable." Wang Miaochun said from the side.
"Cousin Chang Nian is the direct descendant of his ancestors, and I think it's just right." Wang Yanrong helped.
"Yes, yes." Wang Hanyan and Wang Lingxue had long been bribed by Wang Changnian.
They are all Wang family women and will be married sooner or later. In fact, the eldest son Wang Tairan is ready to marry them out and marry them, but they suddenly passed away.
But they have been used to being free and casual in the Wang family since they were young, so how could they be a tool for marriage?
Wang Changnian took this opportunity to promise them that as long as he was the head of the Wang family, he would never let the Wang family women marry, and this was why he received the support of four women from Wang Yue's lineage.
Wang Changan, who is also from Wang Yue's lineage, dared not express his opinion. He just wanted to show off his bad intentions. It doesn't matter who is the head of the family. Anyway, it's definitely not his turn. As long as it doesn't affect his wife and concubines, it's fine.
"Sisters, Chang Nian is a little talented and knowledgeable, and he will never be able to bear the responsibility of the head of the family." Wang Chang Nian prepared to make three remarks and three resignations according to the script.
"I am so humble to think of my cousin." The sisters agreed.
"Ha! The bloodline of a gull dares to covet the position of the head of the family?" Although Wang Changtu did not dare to fight with Wang Changzhi, he was not afraid at all when facing Wang Changnian. He actually spoke wildly in front of everyone.
"Brother Tu, shut up!" Wang Changsheng quickly scolded his younger brother. Although he looked down on Wang Changnian, he must not say such words that are not conducive to family unity in such public places.
"Me!" Wang Changtu wanted to continue cursing, but he could only shut up when he looked at the unkind eyes of everyone.
"Haha..." Wang Changnian was a little embarrassed when he was pointed at the nose and scolded, but he didn't dare to refute it. He also wanted to maintain his kind and generous personality.
Seeing these jumping clowns' performances, Wang Huajiao couldn't sit still and advised Wang Changzhi: "Nephew Changzhi, is there anyone more suitable besides you? Whether it is for the unity of the Wang family or to fulfill the wish of the previous head of the family, you must inherit the position of the head of the family!"
"But I am the prefect of Liaodong..." Wang Changzhi wanted to continue to shirk.
"Cousin, I have a way." At this time, Wang Changye, who had been silent, spoke.
Everyone looked at Wang Changye.
Wang Changye slowly said: "After my cousin Changzhi became the head of the family, he continued to let Ms. Song Qianru act as the head of the family, and Ms. Song Qianru will manage the affairs of my Wang family."
Hearing this, everyone frowned. Although they trust Song Qianru, Song Qianru is an outsider after all. She had been acting as the head of the family for several months before, so everyone thought that Song Qianru was just a temporary one for several months, so they agreed that now that Song Qianru is going to be the head of the Wang family for a long time, isn’t this ridiculous?
"No wonder the former Liaodong prefect said that Changye's nephew had a genius. This method was really interesting." Wang Roujing smiled. She was implicitly mocking Wang Changye's method as if it was too whimsical.
"Thank you for your praise, aunt." Wang Changye was not angry, but replied, and continued to add: "While Ms. Song Qianru was the Wang family's long-term acting head, the family members were then treated with respect. All matters handled by the head of the family must be checked. If all the matters handled by the head of the family must be directly executed. If one person disagrees, then let the personal soldiers hand over the matter to the Liaodong County Government, and the Changzhi cousin handles the family affairs remotely. This will not only reduce the burden on Changzhi cousin, but also convince everyone."
"This..." Wang Changzhi was also considering it.
"Brother's method is really good." Wang Changyu flattered his own brother.
"No, I am still a teacher in the institution, so how can I have time to manage the affairs of the Wang family for a long time?" Song Qianru shook her head and refused.
"My father is also well-read and can take on the position of a master of the university." Wang Changye brought out his father Dongfang Shuo.
Dongfang Shuo was demoted to a civilian because he spoke wildly to the prime minister in Weiyang Palace. Now he is doing nothing in Chang'an all day, so he just happened to ask him to come back to be a teaching master for the Wang family's children.
"But who should be this person with high virtue and respect?" Wang Roujing continued to ask. As long as Wang Changzhi did not give up the fight, they would have absolutely no chance. All her plans were based on the premise that Wang Changzhi did not compete for the position of the head of the family, or that Wang Changzhi and Wang Changjiu were both defeated. This premise does not exist now. In the face of Wang Changzhi's absolute family prestige, she could only settle for the second best, such as fighting for a person with high virtue and respect as Wang Changye said.
After all, in terms of seniority, Wang Roujing is the highest. She has seen her ancestor Kang Zhenying, and she was taught by her ancestor Kang personally in childhood.
"Of course, it is someone who everyone recognizes." Wang Changye threw this question to everyone, and he did not dare to decide on the list of respected people without authorization.
Wang Changnian is not a fool. He saw that his adopted mother had given up the fight. Although he was unwilling to accept it, Wang Changye has proposed a solution so that Wang Changzhi can be the head of the family. How dare he fight with Wang Changzhi?
All previous plans were based on the premise that Wang Changzhi had no time to take care of his family because he was the prefect of Liaodong.
Now Wang Changye has proposed a solution so that Wang Changzhi can handle family affairs while being the prefect of Liaodong, so no one dares to argue anymore.
"This respected person must be Aunt Roujing, Aunt Wujiao, and Aunt Caiwei." Wang Changzhi said so.
Wang Roujing and Wang Huajiao are the two highest-ranking people in the family, and Xu Caiwei is the widow of the previous head of the family. The three of them are the most suitable for the acting head of the family Song Qianru.
After getting the result she wanted, Wang Roujing was also satisfied, so she respectfully said to Wang Changzhi: "I have met the head of the family!"
The others also reacted and said respectfully to Wang Changzhi: "I have met the head of the family."
"Everyone, there is no need to be polite." Wang Changzhi smiled. There was no suspense about this matter. His prestige in the Wang family was too high. Those who wanted to compete for the position of head of the family were just because he was the prefect of Liaodong and felt that he had no time to be the head of the family.
In the end, the family meeting went smoothly and no one was messing around.
Wang Changzhi, the grandson of Wang Liang and Wang Taihao, inherited the position of head of the Wang family, and Ms. Song Qianru continued to serve as the acting head of the family. Ms. Song Qianru managed all matters of the Wang family, and was supervised and assisted by Xu Caiwei, Wang Roujing and Wang Huajiao.
With the moment when Wang Changzhi became the head of the Wang family, he also instantly received a lot of information.
"Golden Finger?"
"It turns out that it has been inherited from generation to generation since the time of our ancestor Kang."
The information was poured into his mind directly, and he instantly understood many things that he could not understand before and tried to use his golden finger function.
"Lineens!"
