The voice was calm, old and full of irrefutable decisions. After hearing this voice, the hall suddenly became as quiet as a windless lake.
Luo Jian, who has always been pushy, was startled by this sound. He judged the source of the sound was correct, shrank his head, leaned back, and ducked into his shell...
As the spiritual pillar of the Luo family, the eldest elder Luo Xuan rarely speaks. He even speaks less than a few words. His unexpected speech today is a miracle. I want to ask, who of the Luo family's children can interrupt.
Swipe...swipe... All eyes were focused on Luo Tian, and his thin body suddenly became the focus of the hall...
Luo Tian and Luo Xuan looked at each other and found that Luo Xuan's eyes were not only indifferent, but also filled with loneliness and regret. Luo Tian could understand the lost language in its eyes, but Luo Xuan could not understand his "
"You loser" grandson, why do you ask to speak today...
Because of Luo Tian's health, Luo Tian rarely showed up at family meetings. Even when he did show up, he listened more and spoke less. He didn't refute what everyone said. He didn't even have any opinions or suggestions. Even if he did, no one cared.
, let alone take it to heart. As time goes by, fortunately, I stopped coming.
Special treatment on special days. After Luo Tian came back from the dead, the little slave girl jumped over the rank and reported it to Luo Xuan. Only then did he remember that the Luo family still had this grandson. Otherwise, Luo Tian would have been forgotten in his heart. In fact,
, Luo Tianqian lived a miserable life for ten years and nine months.
Luo Tong had no intention of informing Luo Tian. It happened that Luo Lan came back today and heard that Luo Tian was injured. He was furious and asked the patriarch of Luo Tong face to face how he took care of his family members. In order to show his fairness, Luo Tong had no choice but to let Lei Ning inform Luo Tianqian.
Come, and specifically asked Lei Ning to bring a message to Luo Tian not to say anything.
It was an accident that Luo Xuan asked Luo Tian to speak, and it was God's arrangement that Luo Tian came to the living room today.
Luo Lan glanced at Luo Tian, thinking that Luo Tian was afraid of Luo Xuan, the elder of the family, so she stretched out her jade hand and patted Luo Tian on the shoulder, encouraging: "If you have anything to say, just say it. If you have an aunt to support you, I don't believe that the Luo family doesn't have it."
Justice exists.”
She gave Luo Lan a kind smile and raised her thin lips: "I have a habit of speaking. I don't like to be interrupted midway. If you really can't help it, you can raise your hand to signal. Otherwise, I will turn a blind eye."
Luo Jianzeng stood up and was about to retaliate when he felt a sharp gaze looking at him. He twisted his body and said in defense: "My chair is not comfortable to sit in. I want to move my body."
"If you want to move, just stand."
Luo Lan walked over, moved the chair away, stretched against Luo Tian, and sat down comfortably, as if he had done something insignificant.
"I didn't say I wanted to stand." Luo Jian glared at the crazy woman who was against him, strongly expressing his dissatisfaction.
Luo Lan glared at him, as if she didn't hear anything. This kind of ignorance made Luo Jian feel worse than a slap in the face or a kick in the face. It was pain, hatred, and even more unwillingness.
Looking at Luo Jian's fighting power, Luo Tian couldn't help but feel happy and said, "As the eldest son of the family and an imperial noble, it should be me who is the leader of Luo Tian's clan."
Seeing everyone's eyes full of different auras and some people's ridicule, the thin body said in unexpected language: "Head of the Luo family, I will not interfere."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall showed different expressions on their faces. Some were ridiculing, some were confused, some were sighing, some were understanding. Most of them were self-aware and agreed with Luo Tian...
Looking at everyone's expressions, Luo Meng's face was calm without any waves. Luo Tong nodded without saying a word. Luo Xuan's eyes showed disappointment and sighs. Luo Lan closed her eyes in surprise, then shook her head, feeling that it was reasonable.
middle.
This time, Luo Tian knew very well that his status in the Luo family was just a list of nobles with no real power. It was empty.
"The authorities are confused, but those who watch are clear."
Now, as a bystander, what I say is relatively fair. I have no selfish desires, no greed, and no paving the way for my own future.
Seeing everyone looking at him with strange eyes, Luo Tian raised his thin lips and continued: "In the coming of age ceremony in three months, I will leave the Luo family and live my own life. For some people, this
Maybe it's good news. For the Luo family, it's not bad news either."
As soon as Luo Tian's words came out, Luo Lan almost fell off the chair. What do you call this? No one wants you to leave, but you have to leave on your own. Aren't you looking for someone to drive you out of the family?
"This damn kid." Luo Lan cursed in her mind and just stood up from the chair. Before she could stop him, Luo Tian started talking again.
"My words sound rebellious, but they cater to many people's wishes." Just after his voice fell, he sighed softly when he saw the excitement in Luo Jian and Luo Tong's eyes.
"None of you have pinned the hopes of the Luo family on me, and of course I am not your hope. I will realize my ideals myself. You are destined to be spectators. I am afraid that you will be worried about being implicated in some things, and the family will be affected."
Implicated."
"Of course it makes sense for the family to do this. I don't deny this. However, after all, the family has supported me for more than ten years, and I always make some contributions to the family."
"My contribution is to help the Luo family select a qualified patriarch." Luo Tian touched his nose, seemingly serious.
"Luo Tian, the decision on the choice of clan leader is made by the elders and the future." After Luo Tong finished speaking, he looked at Luo Tian, who looked calm and dignified.
"Choose someone." Luo Tian looked at Luo Tong playfully, with his nose in the sky, and said, "Humph."
"Master Patriarch, I'm afraid you have already decided on the candidate. Don't say that except for me, who abstained, you will choose from a few of them without considering Luo Jian. Do you dare to say so?"
Luo Tian looked at Luo Tong, who had a false majesty on his face, with mocking and half-contempt in his eyes, and the naked disrespect was clearly shown on his face.
"Isn't Luo Jian bad?"
Luo Tong angrily stood up and was greatly annoyed when faced with Luo Tian's contempt and disrespect. "This guy in front of me doesn't take him, the leader of the clan, seriously at all."
"Okay, that's because he's your son." Luo Tian turned his nose up with disdain.
"Have you ever taken me as an elder seriously? Do you know what respect is?" Luo Tong stood up and angrily scolded the young man who contradicted him.
"respect."
Luo Tian showed an expression beyond his peers, sighed, and said sadly, "Respect each other, have you forgotten what I said? When you speak, you must raise your hands. As the leader of the family and my elder,
You can't set an example, and you still talk about respect. Why should I respect someone who doesn't respect me? Are you saying that you want to show the power of the team leader?"
Just as Luo Tian finished his words, Luo Lan, who was as sharp as a bayonet, stood up, raised her red lips, and said in a long voice: "Luo Tian is right. As a clan leader, how can you not have any tolerance? No wonder the Luo family is gradually declining.
It's really a soldier's poke, poke one. It's a general poke, and it's a nest."
After Luo Lan finished speaking, she glanced at Luo Tong coldly and said with ridicule: "There is no demeanor of the elders, no majesty of the head of the family, and even less of the calmness that a helmsman should have."
His words of retort were full of anger. Before he sat down, he patted Luo Tian on the shoulder, raised his red lips and encouraged, "Well said!"
Luo Tian smiled gratefully at Luo Lan, and after saying thank you to Luo Lan who was adding fuel to the fire, he raised his thin lips and uttered seven words: "I have no objection to choosing Luo Jian!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jian's standing legs softened. This was not because he knelt down to express his gratitude, but because he was struck by the sudden change. Luo Jian looked at Luo Tian, regretting his impulse today...
Looking at Luo Tong's puzzled eyes and Luo Jian's ecstatic expression, Luo Tian turned to look at Luo Meng, Luo Juan, and several other direct disciples, and added: "I have no objection to choosing Luo Jian, but it is fair to them.
"
"What does the Luo family need to be strong? It is the unity among the children, the harmony between the families. It is the unity and fighting spirit, the power of trust and concentricity, and the collection of everyone's fighting power. Only in this way can the Luo family be strong.
Only then can the Luo family continue for a longer time."
"Auntie, am I right?"
Hearing Luo Tian's question, Luo Lan patted Luo Tian on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You opened up, you really opened up, you did what you wanted to do."
"Excuse me, the elders, do you have any opinions?"
"That's the truth."
The speaker was Luo Lei, Luo Meng's father and the second in charge of the family, second only to the patriarch. In the Luo family, Luo Lei was more respected by everyone than Luo Tong.
"Since everyone thinks so, it means that every disciple of the Luo family has the right to run for the future helm. The family must be united to grow, the family must be united for development, and the family must have a capable person at the helm for a long time."
A small white jade hand was raised. Luo Tian knew who it was without looking, "Brother Luo Tian, I have something to say."
Smiling face, exquisite figure, charming eyes, rosy smile with a hint of darkness, "Sister Luo Juan, please speak frankly."
"I agree with what brother Luo Tian just said. The position of the clan leader must be occupied by a capable person. As long as he is a member of the Luo family, whoever is capable will be the clan leader. This is in line with..." Luo Juan thought for a moment,
I couldn't find the right words.
"Survival of the fittest."
"Yes, it's survival of the fittest." Luo Juan glanced at Luo Tian gratefully, revealing two small dimples, full of shyness and a sweet smile of a girl.
The law of nature is survival of the fittest and self-elimination. What Sister Luo Juan means is that for the sake of harmony, unity, growth, development and fairness of the Luo family, there should be children of the Luo family running for the helm, and the capable person should take the position."
Turning around, looking up, smiling, and asked: "Is this what you think, sister Luo Juan?"
Hearing Luo Tian's question, Luo Juan thought for a while, nodded and said, "How do you know what I think, brother Luo Tian, why don't you become the clan leader."
"Me?" Luo Tian shook his head and said with a grateful smile: "A man, a real man, once he says something, it is hard to follow him. I said that I want to be an outsider, leisurely, comfortable, and not cumbersome. The key is that I don't have that
Heart."
After Luo Tian finished speaking, he looked at the Luo family disciples who were working and said, "Of course, you can also abstain from voting like me and not compete for the position of helmsman."
"Who would abstain? Only a fool like you would abstain. Are you abstaining? You know you can't win at all, that's why you come to make trouble." When Luo Jian heard that the winner was determined by a competition, he immediately gave Luo Tian another chance.
I hate it.
Luo Tian sighed softly: "The flowers are becoming more and more charming, and the word power is too unnatural. We are just ethereal beings, useless and idle."
"Luo Tian, since you are so poor, then go to "Wenshu Pavilion" to take the No. 1 Scholar exam. It seems that you haven't been to "Wenshu Pavilion" for a long time. Don't forget that you are also a member of "Wenshu Pavilion". You have to pay tens of millions of dollars in the selection exam.
Don't miss it. Don't worry, as long as you are lucky enough to be selected, when I become the clan leader, I can let the family pay for your tuition. The Luo family will not treat any talented person badly."
"Speak when you become the clan leader. I said I would abstain, but they didn't seem to say abstaining. But I would like to thank you for your kindness first, and I hope you won't lose too miserably."
After Luo Tian finished speaking, he said playfully: "Whether I go to Wenshu Pavilion or not is my business. Whether you pass the exam or not, that is my fate. I control my destiny. If not, you have to worry about it."
Looking at Luo Jian with an angry look on his face, Luo Tian said in confusion: "It's weird if you win. That old guy doesn't want his descendants and descendants to be the leader of the clan. It's not your father who has the final say on the conditions of the competition. I'll wait and see what happens to you."
play……"
"I won't let you down." Luo Jian's eyes widened and he clenched his fists.
"It doesn't matter that I'm disappointed. You better not disappoint the clan leader. After all, I still have a monthly salary of thirty gold coins. If you lose the election, don't come to me to borrow money. My small salary is not enough for you to eat porridge.
Then? Just use your wasteful drinking method..."
"Luo Tian, don't think that I dare not touch you here. If you have the ability, we will have a fight here. You can do it..." Before Luo Jian could say anything, Luo Tong roared, "Sit down!
"
"Where are you sitting?" Luo Lan had already taken the seat, so she had no choice but to stand honestly.
After taking a deep breath, Luo Tian smiled and said politely: "I've finished my words. I wish the Luo family a wonderful tomorrow. Farewell!"
"Wait, Luo Tian, I don't agree with your choice. Do you know what you are doing? You are undoubtedly leaving the Luo family in disguise. Are you sure you can do it?"
Luo Lan grabbed Luo Tian who was about to leave and told Luo Tian not to leave at all. She turned around and asked Luo Xuan: "Great Elder, can you bear it?"
Luo Xuan looked at Luo Tian's firm eyes, nodded and said: "Abandoning martial arts and embracing literature meets his conditions. It's not a bad idea to put down grudges."
"Wenshu Pavilion is the Wenshu Academy of Shenwu Academy. Can Luo Tian pass the exam?" Luo Lan looked worried.
"It all depends on man, just believe him." After Luo Xuan finished speaking, she sighed.
"Auntie, thank you for your kindness. Let's go!"
Luo Lan looked at Luo Tiandian, walked out and asked: "Where to go?"
