Chapter five hundred and fifty-four Shen's branch (1)
The whole hall was silent, except for the endless flow of Shenhu Lake.
Chen Hu's face lit up, and his mind filled with hysteria. He thought that if it was his turn to be the clan leader, he would be able to enter and leave the prefect's yamen. He could not be said to be on an equal footing with the prefect, but he could still speak in this Songjiang realm. Although he was only a supervisor. , but the children in the clan are outstanding, and no one dares to underestimate him, the leader of the clan.
Thinking like this, Shen Hu looked at Shen Li, and Shen Jin and others looked at him. These are the younger members of his clan, and they are also his support. Although he doesn't have much contact in his life, if he becomes the clan leader in the future, , there will be less worries about things in each room, and the exchanges will become closer.
"What are you daydreaming about, eldest brother? If you don't tell me that you shouldn't mess with the position of clan leader, let outsiders speculate all your life; even if you have to replace someone, there are so many talented people in the clan, it won't be the third room!" Shen Yong watched his brother making trouble. What a joke, everyone looked at it and stamped their feet anxiously.
No one else said anything, Shen Hu just thought that each room was thinking about it, and the one who didn't want to cause trouble was his brother, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why can't it be the third room's turn? No matter whether it is due to blood relationship, or seniority, it is his turn. Sanfang. Do you think this is true?" The last sentence was addressed to everyone sitting on the table.
Before anyone else could speak, the ninth-fang master couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, in terms of blood relationship? In terms of seniority and inferiority? Is it really like that, or is it not the third-fang's turn? The ancestors of the second-fang and fourth-fang are both direct descendants. In terms of blood relationship, the clan houses are naturally followed by the second and fourth clans, so why is it the third clan’s turn? In terms of seniority and inferiority, the old man of the third clan and the old lady of the eighth clan have both left. Is there anyone in the clan who is older than me? According to the rules What do you mean, Shen Hai is too tired to rest, but he has to work for me, an old man like me, to take care of the family affairs?"
If I were ten years younger, the position of the patriarch would be vacant, and the Ninth House Master might really want to fight for it. Now that I am old and have little energy, I am not willing to do anything. Also, the old man is not a stupid person, so naturally he will It can be seen that the clan leader gave up the position of clan leader in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the heads of the clan and to heal the relationship with the fifth clan. The position of clan leader is, to put it bluntly, the clan clan's apology to the fifth clan.
His eldest grandson is still locked up in the magistrate's office. In the future, he will rely on the juniors in Beijing to look after and mediate. But these are all leaning towards the fifth-fang house. Naturally, the ninth-fang master is willing to sell it to the fifth-fang house: "The best of the family." Elderly, or having high morals and prestige, or outstanding ability, must always take precedence. Blood relationship, seniority and inferiority are secondary. According to me, Brother Qi from the fifth room is pretty good. He is already an outstanding person. Although I suffered a lot in the past few days, I am now clean. From now on, I have to maintain my business in Songjiang, and it will be convenient for me to take care of family affairs related to the field sacrifice."
After the Ninth House Master finished speaking, everyone was waiting to see the reaction of the second house Shen Yuan. Except for the clan brother, the second house had the first seat, so it was the second house's turn to express his position.
Based on Shen Rui's relationship with the Fifth Fang, everyone thought that the uncle and nephew would respond to the Ninth Fang's words, but they were silent.
Sanfang Shenhu wanted to speak again, but Shen Yong said something in his ear, and he remained silent with a gloomy face.
Everyone looked at Shen Jin in the fourth room, who was also silent.
What does this mean? Is the second or fourth bedroom trying to compete for the patriarch? Or is the relationship between the two families and the fifth family not as good as it seems?
There were many people who were doubtful. Brother Shen Ying from the fifth room and Shen Quan also fell silent.
Shen Qi of the Sixth Fang has long hated the clan leader. Regardless of whether the clan leader takes the initiative or is "passive", as long as he gives up the position of clan leader, Shen Qi will be satisfied.
Shen Qi waited for a long time, but no one spoke, so she said: "If the clan clan wants to let Xian, then I support the proposal of the ninth clan master, and Shen Qi can be the acting clan leader."
Since the Sixth Fang has expressed his position, the Seventh Fang and the Eighth Fang have offended others by not speaking out.
Shen Qin only looked at Shen Liu, it was obvious that the seventh house would take the eighth house as its leader.
Shen Liu looked around and couldn't figure out the plans of the second and fourth rooms, but he still nodded and said: "The eighth room also supports the ninth room's proposal."
Shen Qin then spoke: "Qi Fang also supports it."
Even though he had known that the position of the clan leader was about to be vacated, Shen Jun felt troubled when he saw that several heads of clan who had not had much contact with the fifth family also supported the change of clan leader.
What does "rebellion and separation" mean? This is the scene in front of me. My father made a mistake. Fortunately, he made a decisive decision. If he had followed his father's previous plan, all the heads of the house would definitely be in conflict today. By then, all the heads of the house would have the same hatred, and they would be fighting against the clan. Room is available.
Shen Jun was a little frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He straightened his expression quickly and said to Shen Ying: "I also agree with the suggestion of Master Ninfang. The elders are old and have nothing to do. His talents and abilities are countless.”
Although the Ninth House Master suspected that the reactions of the Second House and the Fourth House were not quite right, he felt a little proud when he saw that all the heads of the House agreed with his proposal.
Shen Ying stood up, bowed to everyone, and said sternly: "On behalf of my second brother, I have thanked all the relatives for their recommendation, but I have some limited opinions on matters within the clan."
Except for a few people who knew about it, everyone else was confused by Shen Ying's solemnity. What did it mean? There was no joy at all about the clan leader descending from the sky, but there seemed to be hidden worries.
The Ninth House Master said: "There is no one else around now, so you can just say whatever you want."
Shen Ying looked around at everyone present and said: "What happened to the case of the third son of the Shen family this time that made the whole family uneasy? The tired second uncle and the brother from the sixth clan came back thousands of miles away. It's nothing more than 'their origins are from the same source, and one is prosperous and the other is prosperous'" , it’s just a loss for all. This time the Shen family was lucky enough to escape. Will they have such good luck next time if they encounter such a disaster? As long as the crime of the same family crime falls on the clan members, it doesn’t matter. The distance between us is far away, and no one can escape."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
Shen Jun's mind is the most active. Others are still worrying based on Shen Ying's assumptions. He has already figured out Shen Ying's intention in saying these words.
Is this to strengthen the management of clan members? Should fools like Shen Yuan and Shen Zhu, who harm others and do not benefit themselves, have to be strictly disciplined? If you really want to talk about it, these two people are the bane, even if they are enemies of the fifth house. That's right.
What does Wufang mean? He has not yet taken over the position of clan leader, but will start to take revenge and liquidation? If that is the case, how will Wufang treat the clan clan?
For a moment, Shen Jun was in a state of confusion and felt a bit of regret.
The older people get, the more they cherish their lives. The assumption that the Shen family might suffer another disaster would only make others a little worried. However, the Ninth House Master thought that Shen Ying had just returned from the capital. He had better information than everyone else in Songjiang. He couldn't help but feel "thumped" in his heart. was frightened.
The "Three Sons of the Shen Family's Ties to Japan" case has apparently been settled, but is it really over? He Laoer is still being held in jail for no reason, and Shen Lu and Shen Zhu are also being held in the name of "witnesses." Let it go, will it happen again when a group of people return to the capital?
The Ninth House Master became nervous thinking about it and shouted: "It can't be calculated like this. The head of the Shen family has already come out of the fifth server. Even if someone violates the national law, the relatives in the fifth server will be pursued, and no one else will have anything to do with it."
"At that time, when the whole clan is questioned, will the government distinguish the population according to the genealogy?" Shen Ying said.
The Ninth House Master said anxiously: "What can I do? The Shen family has been living in Songjiang for more than a hundred years. It has several generations and many descendants. Who knows which house has an unworthy descendant? It is impossible to say that they have never even met each other. Isn’t it unfair to be implicated in this way?”
Shen Jun's heart sank, and he looked at Shen Ying and said, "What does Brother Ying mean, but to exterminate Brother Lu and Shen Zhu just in case?"
Shen Yong showed discomfort on his face, it was the same reason he used when he persuaded the clan leader to remove Shen Ling.
"No!" The Ninth House Master suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "Brother Lu and Shen Zhu are just 'witnesses', so they have to follow them to the capital. The government has not convicted the two brothers. In this clan, Condemned in a daze? I don’t agree!”
Shen Qi and Shen Liu didn't look good either. They were dissatisfied with the clan clan and were willing to support Wufang in accepting the position of clan leader, but that didn't mean that they wanted to see Wufang take the opportunity to make clan relations.
Trees have roots and water has a source.
Family is the source of a person. How can the powerful person in the clan cut it off with just a word? That would be unfair to the clan members. It is a pity that Shen Ling was "exterminated" when she was killed. How could she watch Wufang concoct it? The second "extermination" incident.
Today Wufang can vent his anger on Shen Lu and Shen Zhu in the name of doing good for the clan, but tomorrow he can do the same to other clan members.
Is this kind of five-bedroom apartment the same five-bedroom apartment they wanted to support before?
Shen Jin kept watching, watching the faces of the people in the sixth, seventh, and eighth rooms getting more and more ugly, and hurriedly said: "Brother Ying, if you have any good suggestions, just say it directly, otherwise everyone will be confused and make random guesses. Worry."
Shen Ying nodded to Shen Jin, turned to the ninth master and said, "My master misunderstood, my grandson didn't mean that. My grandson just watched the Shen family go through this ordeal, and it was a bit unfounded."
The ninth master frowned and was silent for a long time, then said bluntly: "Did you notice something? You won't say such things in vain, but is there really something wrong with the Shen family?"
Shen Ying sighed and said: "Shu Da Zhao points, the Shen family is too popular now, there is no guarantee that there will not be a second He family who wants to replace the Shen family. Even the prefect, even if he wants to come, he is not willing to occupy a place as big as the Shen family."
After all, Shen Qin was young and energetic. He said without anger when he heard this: "The Shen family is what it is today because of the success of generations of descendants. We can't shrink away just because we are afraid of other people's eyes. Then Brother Ying, what should our Shen family do? manage?"
Brothers Shen Hu and Shen Yong were not sure whether Shen Ying was using Shen Zhu's incident to attack the third room, so they both suppressed their words and only watched other people's reactions.
Shen Yuan's uncle and nephew, Shen Jin, and Shen Li were the "hardcore" members of the fifth house. Except for Shen Jin who said something, the others were silent before.
After a while, Shen Qin directly questioned Shen Ying, but Shen Yuan spoke up: "The tree has a big branch, and the National People's Congress separates the family. Even if they are from the same source, since they are in the fifth server, they should be divided into clans according to the rules. If the clan is divided and the clan is different from the family, if such a disaster happens again, the Songjiang Shen family will not be wiped out..."
