But there is one thing that cannot be compared with other elders, that is, the popularity of this fourth elder is very good. Everyone in the clan is one of them, and no one will say bad things about this fourth elder. After all, he is the same as Maitreya Buddha.
He is a character, and no one thinks there is anything bad about him.
This can be regarded as another kind of life experience of the fourth elder. After all, no one really takes him seriously, but when everyone mentions him, they think he is still a very good person. Although he is not a big deal in the clan
He doesn't care, but after all, he occupies the position of elder, so everyone still respects him on the surface.
And these four elders are not affiliated with any power group they belong to. And everyone has agreed that the clan elder will not be found in matters related to interest disputes and so on. After all, you told him today and he agreed with you.
, tomorrow she will agree with others if they say a few words. It is expected that with him talking nonsense, today, and tomorrow, it is better for everyone to give up on him and put him aside, and no one will take advantage of this fourth elder.
On the contrary, it is the cleanest and neatest thing.
Zhao Rong was still wondering in his mind whether he could get an identity plate through this kind fourth elder. He didn't know if this was possible. After all, he had seen this fourth elder every year during the Chinese New Year.
There is no problem for the two of them to exchange at least a few words. Maybe I can get an identity plate through this fourth elder.
Thinking of this, Zhao Rong remembered that Xiao Tao had been out inquiring about news these days, and he had to ask again: "Xiao Tao, do you know what the fourth elder has been doing recently?"
In fact, what Zhao Rong wants to ask more is where the fourth elder has been staying recently. Although the fourth elder's favorite place to stay is probably his home, there is no guarantee that he will live in the homes of his sons, daughters and sons-in-law.
Go, after all, he is an elderly person.
Xiao Tao didn't expect that her young master had just asked her a cold question and then stopped, and then the next question was actually asked to her again, such a strange question.
But this time, Xiao Tao didn't even hesitate and said directly: "I know what the fourth elder has been doing recently. He is preparing for his seventieth birthday."
Xiaotao has heard a lot of private discussions among servants about this matter. Now he can sneak out of the yard every day and get some news from the outside. When he is acting outside these days, what he hears the most is about this fourth person.
Elder, prepare for your seventieth birthday.
Originally, it would be a lively event for a clan elder to celebrate his seventieth birthday, but it would not be as grand as this year. Yes, Xiao Tao had heard many people say that the scale of the fourth elder's birthday this time was unprecedented.
.Many people will be invited to the Zhao family, not only people from the Zhao family, but also many people from outside.
The main reason why the Zhao family started to treat guests uncharacteristically is because the Zhao family has been in a state of chaos in the past few years. Ever since the incident that hit the Zhao family more than ten years ago, there was a clan member at the scene.
The elder passed away, and several other clan elders also suffered serious physical injuries. From that time on, there was basically no one who could take charge of the situation and take control of clan affairs.
Now, except for the head of the Zhao family who has taken office directly, the several clan elders are actually in name only. Those who are really in charge can no longer support their bodies, leaving only the fourth elder who doesn't care about anything.
In recent years, more and more people have been vying for the leadership position, not only the children of the previous clan elders, but also the children born in recent years and supported by the heads of the families.
There are also people in the family fighting for these rights.
The head of the Zhao family was helpless to deal with the internal chaos. He simply didn't know how to resolve the internal disputes. He also had no way to decide which faction the clan elders belonged to.
In the end, no one in the house accepted this situation, but the head of the Zhao family finally couldn't sit still. The most important thing is that his good brother has begun to warn him that he can no longer squander the property of the Zhao family.
After this chaotic period, the actual losses were not just what was shown on the books.
Many housekeepers have reminded the head of the Zhao family of this situation, and he finally realized this. After all, when he sent someone to the accounting room to withdraw silver last time, he did not mention the money he wanted to get.
.
This finally made the head of the Zhao family feel a sense of crisis. He called his so-called think tanks, discussed it carefully for a long time, and finally decided to use the birthday of the fourth elder to hold a banquet and invite people from inside and outside the Zhao family.
People from various cities came to have a big gathering.
It also allows people to fully communicate at the meeting. In the end, of course, he hopes that the factions within the Zhao family can finally relax to decide who will be elected as the elders of the Zhao family.
As long as those clan elders take office and the head of the Zhao family feels that he has fulfilled his responsibilities, then of course the days to come will return to normal and he can spend all day long and have fun as he pleases.
I don’t know which counselor trusted by the head of the Zhao family gave him this good advice. Originally, the fourth elder’s birthday was just for everyone in the Zhao family to gather together to discuss the issue of power division, but who knew that it was given to him?
It turned into a big party inside and outside.
Not only were invited, not only all the prominent people within the Zhao family, but also those with some power outside who were related to the Zhao family, the head of the Zhao family also invited them all together this time.
Of course, the fourth elder's birthday was planned in a large courtyard not far from the Zhao family's doorstep. Because of its large scale, the courtyard was never assigned to a specific family. It was only used for gatherings or ceremonies.
, a large courtyard that can accommodate all the main members of the Zhao family. This time it was convenient, as the head of the Zhao family invited so many guests at once.
Zhao Rong had forgotten this news. Although Xiaotao had reported this matter to him before, first of all, although he had spoken to the fourth elder and he had the best relationship among the elders, even so.
, he didn’t care too much about this matter. After hearing it, he put it in the back of his head and completely forgot about it. Now that Xiao Tao said this, Zhao Rong remembered that Xiao Tao once talked about this matter. (To be continued.
