Chapter 237 The Significance of Gambling

With Shen Ye's full support, Wei Wuji settled down in the Shen family's main house. The servants and maids in the Shen family's main house were initially puzzled as to why an outsider like Wei Wuji would live in the Shen family's main house. , but when they learned that Wei Wuji was Shen Ye's savior, their attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and they very much welcomed Wei Wuji to stay.

What's more, even though the Shen family's mansion is located in the Shen mansion, the Shen mansion itself is a bit exaggerated, so if the Shen family's mansion is taken outside and used as a mansion for some small families, there will be no problem at all.

The residence of the Shen family's main house is not only home to Shen Ye's family of three. All the servants and maids of the main house also live here. Aunt Shen, Shen Juan, who did business with Shen Ye before, also lives here. She is in the accounting room. After registering the goods, he returned directly to the Shen family's mansion.

Therefore, it is not particularly difficult for Wei Wuji to live in one of the many houses in the Shen family's mansion. The only reason Shen Mingren is unwilling to let Wei Wuji live in is because he doesn't want Wei Wuji to get too close to Shen Ye. Even though Wei Wuji's previous battle with Shen Zhixiao had already proven his strength and talent.

What later made Shen Mingren change his mind was the bottle of Qi Gathering Pill that Wei Wuji took out. The Qi Gathering Pill is considered to be the most effective batch of pills that warriors in the Houtian realm can take. This kind of stuff is naturally not the Shen family's. It can be refined by just one family.

The Shen family also makes elixirs themselves. The business Shen Canghai assigned to Shen Mingyue is elixirs. However, the elixirs refined by the Shen family themselves are not very effective. They are usually sold to casual cultivators and other people who are not well-off. A person of small power.

But even if the direct descendants of the Shen family use elixirs that are more effective than those refined by the Shen family themselves, not everyone can use the level of Qi Gathering Pill. Only the direct descendants of the Shen family with outstanding performance can use it. Shen Canghai received the Qi Gathering Pill as a reward.

When Wei Wuji took out the Qi Gathering Pill, Shen Mingren immediately understood what Shen Canghai meant. Shen Canghai only gave this bottle of Qi Gathering Pill to Wei Wuji, not only because Wei Wuji saved him, but also because Wei Wuji and Shen Canghai Night relationship.

Shen Ye likes Wei Wuji, and anyone who is not a fool or a blind person can see this, but Shen Mingren is not very attracted to Wei Wuji, because the son-in-law he wants must not only have extraordinary talents, but also preferably have a profound background. It can be said to be a strong alliance.

As for Wei Wuji, a casual cultivator, he definitely couldn't have any big background. Besides, no matter how big or powerful the family in Xiangliao County was, they couldn't get into the eyes of the Shen family. Therefore, Shen Mingren's attitude towards Wei Wuji couldn't be said to be bad, but it wasn't considered bad either. good.

But now Shen Canghai has given all the Qi Gathering Pills to Wei Wuji. It is obvious that he is very optimistic about Wei Wuji. Shen Mingren also knows that Shen Canghai has always hoped that he can inherit the position of the head of the family and lead the Shen family to continue to prosper.

However, he had no children and was unable to have any more children. His succession as head of the family met with resistance from many affiliated forces of the Shen family and the other four members of the Shen family.

In fact, the best way to solve this problem is to recruit a son-in-law who can stop everyone's mouth into his big house. Even if he has no children by then, as long as the child Shen Ye gives birth to is named Shen, it is obvious that Shen Canghai In his eyes, Wei Wuji was the candidate.

Wei Wuji's disadvantage in Shen Mingren's eyes is an advantage in Shen Canghai's eyes. Being a casual cultivator means that Wei Wuji is a loner. After he joins the Shen family, he can only rely on the power of the Shen family to act, and will not let other forces The power directly swallowed up the Shen family.

What's more, judging from Wei Wuji's age and the strength he has shown, he can be regarded as an extraordinary talent among warriors of his age. The introduction of such a person into a large family is enough to silence others.

So even though Shen Mingren was not too fond of Wei Wuji, Shen Canghai had already made a decision and he could only abide by it. This was the reason why he agreed to let Wei Wuji live in the Shen family's big house.

Of course, what would Shen Mingren think if he knew that Wei Wuji was not willing to join the Shen family, and that he had just made an agreement with Shen Canghai to give birth to two sons in the future, and one of them could be named Shen.

After dinner that night, Shen Ye pulled Shen Mingren, Liu Susu and Wei Wuji into a room and said that he had something to discuss with them. Although Wei Wuji and the others didn't know why, since Shen Ye said that they had something to discuss, they He followed Shen Ye into the house.

After entering the house, the four of them found a place to sit down. Shen Mingren and Liu Susu sat together, while Shen Ye sat with Wei Wuji. Although Shen Mingren was somewhat prepared for this scene, he still felt a little annoyed, so he snorted. The voice said: "Xiaoye, you said you had something to discuss with us. Now that we are all here, you can talk about anything you have to say."

Shen Ye didn't care about Shen Mingren's attitude and asked: "Dad, have you figured out how to win this bet that grandpa has made?"

Shen Mingren glanced at Wei Wuji and said calmly: "Do you need to think more about this? It's not that your father is proud. When it comes to business, your two uncles and aunts can't keep up with your father and me.

You also know that your grandfather is not in good health. If something unexpected happens to him, and the Shen family does not elect a head by then, there will be civil strife in the fifth house. Your father and I should be the next heads of the Shen family, both emotionally and logically, just because we don’t have a son. Only then were those people opposed.

Your grandfather's proposal this time was obviously made to help your father and me silence the others. When your father and I win the bet, they will no longer be able to point out that there are no men in our big room. Things will come to pass.”

Hearing this, Chen Ye asked back: "Dad, do you think uncle and aunt are fools? They can't see such an obvious thing, so have you ever thought about why they agreed to grandpa's proposal?"

Shen Mingren frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Xiaoye?"

Shen Ye said calmly: "Dad, don't forget, the final result of grandpa's bet this time is to see which house's business grows the fastest, not which house's business has the most profit, which house's business makes the most money .”

What Shen Ye said is indeed a problem. Shen Mingren's business ability is the most outstanding among the five brothers and sisters of his generation. Otherwise, Shen Canghai would not have considered the caravan trade between the Shen family and the Liuli Kingdom. Give it to him.

So in this case, the bet proposed by Shen Canghai is obviously very beneficial to Shen Mingren, but the other four members of the Shen family are not fools. They know that their ability to do business is not as good as Shen Mingren's. Under such circumstances, why would you accept this bet?

There are two main reasons. The first is that Shen Canghai's health is getting worse and worse. As Shen Canghai himself said, he can still last for a year and a half, but what about after a year and a half?

When Shen Canghai dies, the Shen family will be leaderless, and the fifth family will inevitably start fighting for the position of the head of the family. Therefore, in order to avoid this happening, everyone in the fifth family wants to establish their status as the heir to the family head before Shen Canghai passes away.
