Wen Ranran and others successfully moved into the room of the Gu family's Wumai. Gu Qiandao was kneeling in the ancestral hall as punishment, but now he was sent by Gu Feixiong to greet them.
"The house is so simple that I am making you laugh. The five meridians have been squeezed out over the years. It's really my fault!" Although Gu Qiandao suffered from whip wounds, Gu Feixiong still felt sorry for his son. The whip wounds on his body only looked serious, but in reality
Just keep it for two or three days and it will be fine.
Wen Ranran looked at the elegantly laid out room in front of her and shook her head dully.
"Not shabby, not shabby at all! Isn't this better than the shabby inn we stayed in that day?"
Gu Qiandao smiled bitterly, "At the peak of the Five Meridians, he basically held two-thirds of the family voting rights, and could even depose the family head... But then it gradually declined... Especially fifteen years ago, when my
After the incident... my father's status in the family became even more..."
"Then... what's going on with Mr. Gu Guanshan and Fu Yusheng?" Wen Ranran was a little curious.
Gu Qiandao was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"In the Gu family, apart from the true leader of the clan, the rest is the struggle between several lines... And in order to prevent civil strife among the lines, the ancestors established the Council of Elders a long time ago.
Among the Presbyterian Church, not all are direct descendants of the Gu family, but there are also side branches who are extremely outstanding and have made outstanding contributions in the history of the Gu family, and among the Presbyterian Church, these are the people!"
"In addition to the clan leader, there are the respective clan heads of the five lineages, and the Presbyterian Council with five elders. There are eleven people in total, five elders, five clan heads, and the clan leader. Whenever something big happens in the clan,
A vote is required, and if more than half of the votes are received, a decision can be made for the entire Gu family!"
"Elder Guan Shan is the great elder among them... He is old and doesn't like the disturbances. The most common thing he does is to guard the gate. Wu Mei was once kind to him, so even now, he has been in decline.
, he has also always taken good care of our Wumai. Thanks to him, Wumai has not been expelled in these years!"
"Then Fu Yusheng is..."
"He is a side branch of my mother's side, but he has been raised in my family since he was a child. Now he is worshiped by Elder Guan Shan as his teacher!"
Wen Ranran understood.
"No wonder Fu Yusheng is so tolerant to me. If you were in any other gambling house, he would definitely think that I was here to cause trouble!" Wen Ranran stuck out her tongue, "But I think... you are coming back now.
, I’m afraid it’s become a big deal. If nothing else, someone will come to make things difficult for you, and even try to make you withdraw from this competition..."
Gu Qiandao nodded, a look of solemnity appearing on his face that made no sense.
"I know! So this time, I will definitely not bring shame to my parents!"
Wen Ranran nodded, "As long as you have an idea! If you really can't solve it, come to me?"
Gu Qiandao smiled. Although he knew that Wen Ranran was just an outsider and could not help much, he still accepted her kindness.
After a silent night, Wen Ranran finally took a bath and prepared to have a good sleep. However, the next day, before midnight, she was woken up by the noise outside the door.
The people who came this time were very aggressive and even came as a group from other families.
"Hey! I heard that the eldest young master of our Five Meridians is back... After all these years, I didn't expect that your outfit is still so eye-catching!" A young man who looked like a thin monkey was holding a strange-looking stick in his hand.
holding the stick and looking at each other with a smile.
"Brother Gu San, don't be ridiculous... Our Fifth Master Gu, the whole city of Yizhou knows about the romantic affair at that time... Why are you saying this to poke people's hearts?" A fat-looking man said
