"This..." Chen Chang hesitated, this is a family matter of your Lou family, I am an outsider, it's not easy to express my opinion.
"There are only three of us here, our grandparents, but it doesn't matter!"
Chen Chang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "What Aweng means is that not only can we not retreat, but we must also take a step forward, or even how many steps forward?"
The old man's eyes lit up, but he said: "I want to hear your thoughts, not to ask you to figure out my thoughts."
You just got it right... Chen Chang complained.
"Aweng, actually I have the same idea as you."
The old man was stunned, stroking his beard and said calmly: "What do you think?"
"The public builds the public family, and the family builds the family. The envoys are connected to serve, and the ministers are connected to pay.
The reason why the Lou family has been prosperous for hundreds of years and survived in troubled times is because every generation has had a head of the family with outstanding abilities and outstanding character who can represent the interests of most people in the entire family.
They are either trying to turn the tide, or they are keeping their business silently, all in order to continue the family bloodline better."
Chen sang Lang Langdao.
The old lady looked at him deeply.
Chen Chang is right, a family must have a leader who is prestigious, capable and public-minded.
"Family background, high and low status are called family status. The family reading comes from "Historical Records: Chronology of the Great Ancestor's Meritorious Officials". It is said that "there are five grades of merit for people and ministers. The ancestral temple is established by virtue, and the society is called xun, by words, it is called labor, and by hard work, it is said
It's called Gong, it's called "Fighting" when it's clear, and it's called "Yue" when it accumulates.
In order to highlight their achievements, meritorious ministers and their descendants erected two pillars on both sides of the gate, with the left as the gate and the right as the reading. In fact, they refer to family merits, official history, etc.
Although our Lou family is not a wealthy family, the situation is similar. Since your father-in-law passed away, the Lou family has been separated. The second and third bedrooms are all coveting the position of the head of the family, and they are waiting for the day when I leave Hexi.
.”
The old man looked calm, as if he was telling an extremely ordinary thing.
"Ah Weng..." Lou Qingyi's eyes turned red, "What bad words did Ah Weng say? You will live a long life!"
The old lady waved her hand and smiled: "Everyone has to die. It's God's mercy that I can live to this age. I have no regrets. The only thing I'm worried about is how my children and grandchildren will get along with each other. I'm worried that the Lou family will get along after my death."
It will fall apart later.”
He also once served as an official in the court and had a thorough understanding of world affairs, national affairs, and family affairs.
Now that they are alive, the second and third bedrooms are not too much. Once they are gone, they will no longer have to worry about it.
Although Lou Qingyi has a tough temper, she is a girl after all.
And Lou Xingchen is still young and cannot afford this burden.
He originally thought of taking advantage of his pretending to be sick to eliminate all possible hidden dangers for Lou Qingyi and Lou Xingchen, but what he didn't expect was that his grandson-in-law was an insightful person.
I used to think that Chen Chang was a pedantic scholar who could only read rote books, but now he looks like a dragon or a phoenix among men.
Was it that my previous understanding of Chen Chang was wrong, or has this Chen Chang changed completely?
Composing poems, painting, making friends with waiting officials, and even getting in touch with the little Duke of Zhou...
If it weren't for the person who revealed this information to him was a confidant who had been with him for many years, the old lady would really be unbelievable.
After calming down, the old man smoothed his beard and said calmly: "I interrupted you just now, please continue."
Chen Chang blinked: "Does Aweng agree with Sun-sou's fallacy?"
"I agree, but so what? There is no one in the second generation of my family who can be the head of the family."
Chen Chang spread his hands: "Then choose from the third generation!"
There is nothing you can do about choosing a general in Zouzi. If you have the choice, you won't do it.
"Third Generation?"
This answer obviously exceeded the old lady's expectations, and even Lou Qingyi, who was standing beside him, was slightly surprised.
It is obviously against etiquette to cross the second generation. What will the second uncle and the third uncle think?
Chen Chang was also a little embarrassed when he saw the expressions of his grandfather and grandson.
He used to be in business and was good at management.
For example, when selecting a general manager, it is not about who has the oldest qualifications, but about whether he can create greater value for the company and bring more benefits to employees.
However, this is typical modern thinking, and people of this era may not be able to accept it.
Even counting a thousand years from now is hard to accept.
For example, after the death of Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose one of his remaining sons to be the crown prince, but directly passed the throne to his grandson Zhu Yunwen.
There is no problem in terms of blood, but the problem is that when Zhu Biao was alive, the world returned to its heart, and all the brothers including King Zhu Di of Yan had to be honest.
But the fact that I am strong does not mean that my son is also strong. King Zhu Di of Yan and other brothers obeyed the eldest brother Zhu Biao, but they did not obey Zhu Biao's son, their nephew Zhu Yunwen.
Hence the subsequent Battle of Jingnan, in which Zhu Di fought all the way to Nanjing and replaced Zhu Yunwen.
There are two obvious difficulties with Chen Chang's proposal.
First, it is difficult for the old man and Lou Qingyi to accept the second generation.
Secondly, who to choose as the third generation, in terms of ability, must be Lou Qingyi. However, since she is the daughter of a family, she will definitely be strongly opposed by her second and third brothers.
Although Lou Xingchen is a boy, he is still young and mentally immature. It is difficult to say what his future will be like.
Thinking of this, Chen Chang waved his hands quickly: "It's my fault for speaking out. Don't take it seriously, Ah Weng!"
The old man laughed and glanced at him lightly.
Chen Chang understood the look in his eyes at that moment. The old lady seemed to have this meaning too?
Did the two of us think of going together?
No, this is impossible!
Chen Chang immediately overturned his idea.
The old man's thoughts are not that avant-garde yet. Although he may leave more affairs of the Lou family to Lou Qingyi, the head of the family, Lou Qingyi, will definitely not take care of him. This old man should be very clear about this.
Do you want to leave it to yourself?
After this idea popped up, Chen Chang was shocked.
Looking at the old man's eyes again, it seems...
Alas, this is not good.
How can I be a CEO when I am just a contractor?
Besides, Lou Qingyi, the major shareholder, doesn’t like me as a contractor at all.
He looked at the old lady again, "If you want to put me on the fire, just say so."
After a long time, the old lady said fairly: "You two, remember, if I leave in the future, and the second and third bedrooms deliberately come to trouble you, remember not to be too weak, and don't be bound by family ties. Just fight back."
Chen Chang and Lou Qingyi were both stunned.
The second uncle and the third uncle are both the biological sons of the old man. I just think about this in my mind. Why do I say it to my face?
The old lady smiled heartily: "I speak openly and honestly, and I always mean what I say. If you deal with them, maybe they can still survive in this world."
Chen Chang was shocked. The old man really lived a clear life and thought clearly.
