The warrior Xun was newly promoted to prime minister and now accompanied him to the Jiucheng Palace and was unable to attend this grand gathering of the clan.
The Wu family's current high-ranking officials, such as Wu Huaiyi, the governor of Yuzhou, Wu Huaiyi, the governor of Guangzhou, and Wu Junya, the branch envoy of Lingnan Road, are all serving outside the country and were unable to participate.
Naturally, the person who presided over this grand family gathering was the old patriarch of the clan, Xuancheng County Duke Shi Leng. He was seventy-seven years old, but he was still able to contribute to the family this year and gave birth to three more sons.
Standing on the right of the old patriarch is his cousin Samurai Ke, who gave birth to twenty-seven sons, and on the left is his nephew Wu Huaiyu, who has nineteen sons.
The old patriarch has gray hair and chicken skin, and is very old.
"Erlang, you haven't worked hard enough. You have only given birth to nineteen sons. In the past few years, you, Aye, have given birth to twenty-four more."
Huaiyu looked at the cane and his skinny hands and feet under his clothes. He was really afraid that a gust of wind would blow the old patriarch away.
"Uncle, we will work hard."
Warrior Leng looked around and saw so many young and old men of the Wu family. He was very pleased. "I am very happy to see that our family is prosperous."
The old patriarch has more than a hundred sons and grandsons under his name. He has truly contributed a lot to the family. The old man used to farm and do business in Taiyuan. Although he later served as a dragon and was granted the title of county official, he has always been a small farmer all his life.
In the eyes of the old man, official positions and titles are not the most important.
The most important thing is to have more children, more people, and then buy more land, so that the family can be passed on from generation to generation and the family can prosper.
If you buy more land, you can have more concubines and have more children. If you have more children, there will always be a few who are promising.
This idea is very simple,
Then when the old man was seventy years old, he met his nephew Huaiyu and got the elixir Huaiyu gave him. He was out of control. In the past six years, he took dozens of concubines and gave birth to dozens of children.
While chatting, the old patriarch, who was so thin that he was reduced to a handful of bones, actually said that he would take a concubine in a few days.
A pear tree weighs down a begonia. It seems that the old patriarch is destined to die on his concubine’s belly.
He also advised Lao Wu to have more concubines and give birth to more children for the Wu family.
Lao Wu helplessly told the clan eldest brother, "I'm old and unable to do what I want. I don't want to take concubines anymore. That's it."
Samurai Len looked at Samurai Ke's appearance and even taught him a lesson.
"Let Erlang prescribe you some supplements. You're only sixty-six. I'm seventy-seven and I don't have to say no."
But Lao Wu figured it out, "I suffered a lot of injuries in the early years of the war, and my body is weak. Now that I'm old, I'm really not as good as you, the clan leader, brother."
Later in the conversation,
Samurai Leng proposed to hand over the position of head of the Wu clan to Samurai Ke.
"The position of clan leader must also be passed on to Shitong,"
"He is much younger than you," Warrior Leng said bluntly, "Besides, he is the prime minister now, so he has no time to take care of the affairs of the clan. It just so happens that you don't want to have more children for the clan, so take over the position of clan leader in advance.
, help take care of the affairs of the clan,"
The warrior Ke had a son who was a prime minister, and he had the honorary title of county marquis. He was considered senior and respected, so he could take over the position of the clan leader.
"According to the patriarchal system, the position of clan leader should be taken over by your eldest son, Junya." The warrior Ke said.
Brothers Samurai Ke and Samurai Leng only have the same great-grandfather, and it is not his turn to be the leader of the clan. However, Samurai Leng just waved his hand and said, "When I die, he will naturally be the leader of our Wenshui Fang clan."
, but you still have to be the head of our entire Bingzhou Wu family, and he is not qualified."
The reason why the Wu family is so united now is not because of how good and strong the Dazong is. On the contrary, the most prestigious of the Bingzhou Wu family is Wu Huaiyu, who just resigned as prime minister. The reason why the family is so cohesive is mostly because
Wu Huaiyu.
Not only can the old patriarch give birth to children, but he also has a good vision and can see clearly.
Back then, it was the warrior Xun and his brothers who brought the Bingzhou Wu family to a whole new level. But now, the Wu family has such a status, and it is even said that in order to take a step forward in the future, they will have to rely on Wu Huaiyu.
But Wu Huaiyu wants to stay in Lingnan, so he should leave the family affairs to Aye to take care of it.
"Since the uncle said so, I will explain to the clan members after a while. If the clan members are willing to support Aye to take over the position of clan leader, then Aye should not give in.
The position of patriarch is also a responsibility."
Seeing Huaiyu say this, Lao Wu nodded in agreement.
It's very lively today.
It rained last night and the weather was much cooler, with a bit of an autumn feel.
Today Wu Huaiyu donated a lot of money and grain to Qujiang Academy, Dazong Yizhuang, Wu's Yicang, etc. He also donated some fields and shops.
The donation is worth a lot, but to Wu Huaiyu now, it is just a drop in the bucket.
There are many people donating today. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This donation is for the clan, not the government. Everyone is more conscious and voluntary.
After everyone donates, according to the rules, they must write a merit book and set up a merit monument when they return. The money and food must also be recorded in the account, and all expenses must be audited by the clan on a regular basis.
The old patriarch stood up on crutches,
"I am seventy-seven this year. They say that life is rare in the past seventy years. My old bones are already thin enough. I also gave birth to three more cubs this year, but my energy is indeed not as good as before.
I have decided to pass on the position of patriarch to Shi Ke, who is in favor and who is against it?"
As soon as the old patriarch said these words,
The men of the Wu family below naturally expressed their approval.
Those young and even younger men don't understand this, but they won't object.
After all, Samurai Ke was Wu Huaiyu's father, and he held the title of Marquis of Wenshui County. He was promoted to the fifth rank of officialdom. The old patriarch abdicated and he took over. No one could express any objection.
Warrior Ke was successfully elected as the new patriarch,
There were no clan tokens or anything like that. The two old men said a few words in front of all the clansmen, and they considered it a handover.
Lao Wu was a little excited to become the clan leader, and his face turned red.
"I still remember that fifty years ago, I was still selling tofu in Wenshui, and later I followed my elder brothers to sell cattle and sheep outside the Great Wall. Time flies so fast," the warrior Ke said with emotion.
"Yes, fifty years ago I was in my early twenties, but now I am buried up to my neck in loess,"
We had a dinner at the academy at noon, and the chef in the cafeteria made a running banquet.
A group of people, old and young, chatted while eating.
Wu Huaiyu walked around the place, greeted the tribesmen, and took the initiative to talk to them about going to Lingnan. There were still many tribesmen who were willing to follow Wu Huaiyu south.
Whether you want to be an official, join the army, or go into business to make money, with the protection of martial arts and jade, everyone feels very hopeful.
Leaving Beijing soon,
Wu Huaiyu had endless banquets,
Taiyuan Wang family, Longmen Wang family, Hedong Liu family, Xue family, Pei family, and Zhaojun Li family, Longxi Li family, Jingzhao Wei family, Du family, Hongnong Yang family, Fanyang Lu family...
These noble families were actually relatives of Wu Huaiyu, and many of them were already relatives of his sons and daughters. Wu Huaiyu wanted to return to Lingnan, and he also wanted to stay in Lingnan. Even the plan to manage Lingnan that he told the emperor was nothing.
secret,
Everyone knows that Wu Huaiyu is going to show off his talents in Lingnan, and more or less knows that Lingnan is very promising. At this time, following Wu Huaiyu to encircle land and make money has a bright future.
It can even be said that Wu Huaiyu has already found a way, and they can be considered ready-made.
They might have been hesitant if we asked them to go to Lingnan two years ago, but now they are scrambling for fear of missing out on the opportunity.
Invitations came from every family. They not only wanted to build relationships and arrange for their children to be officials in Lingnan, or to join the Huaiyu shogunate, but they also wanted to enclose land there, such as mining, pearl fishing, sugarcane cultivation, and coal mining.
Smelting iron and copper, growing cotton and weaving, drying salt, catching slaves,
There are too many opportunities to make money and land in Lingnan, and no one wants to miss them.
There are also many top families whose status is not as high as the five surnames of Guandong and the six surnames of Guanxi. They are even more direct. They directly ask people to come to Wu Huaiyu and want to give Wu Huaiyu a daughter or a sister as a concubine.
There are also some people who want to show off their dignity and want to be married to Wu Huaiyu and arrange a baby marriage with his child.
For several days in a row, I was busy.
After spending half a day going to various banquets, the concubines were eagerly looking forward to flipping the cards in the evening. They were all smiles when they found out, so naturally they would not miss this rare opportunity. Even if Wu Huaiyu was a little tired, they would be considerate and come up to do it themselves.
In this busyness,
Wu Huaiyu did a lot of things. He also selected his own Lingnan shogunate. The deputy envoy recommended Wang Renbiao, and the marching commander recommended Li Xiuzhi, the son of an old princess, and the uncle of Li Sanniang.
That's right.
As for the rest of the secretarial positions, such as judge, secretary-general, etc., they were all recruited and appointed directly by Wu Huaiyu himself. After he selected them, he gave a list to the staff, and they issued supplementary reports.
night,
I turned over the cards and found Concubine Yun's wife. After Huaiyu and Fan Xuanfu chatted for a while in the courtyard, I went to Mrs. Yun's courtyard and found that Erniang Yun and Sanniang were also there.
Moreover, these two concubines have no intention of going back.
"Alang, let the three concubines and sisters serve Alang together tonight,"
Huaiyu had many wives and concubines, including several pairs of sisters, such as his wife Fan Xuanfu, who brought three cousins to marry into the Wu family, so there were four sisters from the Fan family in the backyard of the Wu family.
Then there are the three granddaughters of Yun Dingxing. When they originally got married, they only planned to take one of them as a concubine. As a result, none of the three Yun brothers wanted to suffer, so each of them married a daughter.
Then there are the two Qiu sisters, brothers Qiu Xinggong and Qiu Xingze, each of whom married a daughter.
There are three children in the Wu family and two children, Pei, but they only have the same surname and are not sisters.
On the other hand, Li Qing and Chen Runniang, these two people used to be master and servant, but in fact they are like sisters.
But even if there are three sets of sisters in the family,
There has never been such a situation of serving together before.
Mrs. Yun helped Huaiyu undress and said, "Alang, the water in the bath has been put in. Let's swim for a while. The three concubines will accompany Alang and play for Alang and then give him a massage."
The three sisters of the Yun family are very beautiful, perhaps because of the good genes of the Yun family. Their aunt Yun Zhaoxun used to be doted on by the prince Yang Yong because of her beauty. She even had several children raised outside the palace. In the end,
Only then was he able to enter the palace.
Huaiyu took off his clothes and jumped into the swimming pool, and the three sisters followed him and splashed in the water.
"They are quite smart. They hit the mark once, and the three sisters ended up playing together. The three sisters have a total of three chances to turn the mark in a month, but in this way, it is equivalent to three chances per month for everyone, which is tripled."
"Alang, come after me!" Three vixens waved seductively in the swimming pool.
This is a BUG, but a smart, beautiful and sexy woman can't afford to be blamed and rejected.
After all, the word "reject" is the truth after removing the radical cover-up.
Swimming is really relaxing, massage is even more pleasurable, and having three beautiful concubines at your service is even more pleasurable. I have never enjoyed this kind of blessing before.
It's just one against three, I'm a little tired, and I'm exhausted after one vigorous effort!
