This is why emperors in the past, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, established a genealogy after becoming emperor, and linked his father and grandfather who farmed and herded cattle to Zhu Xi, a famous person who could not be reached with eight poles, and called them descendants of Zhu Shengren.
When Shi Taigong and others saw Shi Zhijian arriving, they lined the streets to welcome him.
This is in stark contrast to the last time Shi Zhijian accompanied his elder sister Shi Yufeng back.
In the living room.
Taigong Shi deliberately asked people to place the ancestral tablets of the Shi family.
Shi Zhijian glanced at it and didn't expect that his ancestor was "Shi Shouxin", the famous founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Shi Zhijian secretly said hello, luckily it wasn't "Shi Jingtang".
At this time, Shi Zhijian took the seat, Shi Taigong sat with him, and his second uncle and third uncle sat with him below.
Other family members stood aside respectfully, making the atmosphere very solemn and solemn.
It can be said that everyone treated Shi Zhijian with great courtesy.
Tea and water were made and everyone chatted.
Taigong Shi first traced the ancestors of the Shi family, and the second uncle and the third uncle also talked about each other's business.
You can tell who Shi Zhijian is right away. When talking about ancestors, you want to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, and when talking about business, you want to help him.
Shi Zhijian was not willing to make any more detours with them.
"Grandfather, second uncle, third uncle! Let me make it clear to everyone!" Shi Zhijian took a sip of tea and put it down.
"It's okay for me to recognize my ancestors and return to my clan. After all, I also want to find a name. I don't care whether my surname is Shi or something else. To put it bluntly, I need a genealogy, a genealogy, so that I can bring a large number of people with me every year.
Perform sacrifices."
"There is no way, the situation in Hong Kong is like this now. Those tycoons and bosses approve of this kind of thing. Without family or ancestry, you are just a duckweed without roots. And you also need my help. The second uncle's medicinal material business, and the three
I can help with your uncle's freight business! As long as you don't go too far and ask me for help, I won't stand idly by!"
"To put it more bluntly, it is a deal between us. You give me a position for me to use, and I will extend my hand to help the Shi family expand their family! In this way, you are good, and so am I! How about it, everyone?
Is there anything else you want to say?”
Shi Zhijian's words made everyone look embarrassed.
Grand Duke Shi and his two sons looked at each other, looking even more embarrassed.
No one expected Shi Zhijian to speak so straightforwardly.
Shi Taigong was sincere and thought that Shi Zhijian's behavior was somewhat unreasonable.
What do you think of the ancestors of the Shi family?
Taken advantage of?
The second uncle and the third uncle thought it was great that Shi Zhijian could speak his mind so openly and honestly.
We are all here for the benefit of each other, why do we have to be so aboveboard?
As Shi Zhijian said, this is just a transaction.
Just when the atmosphere was awkward, someone outside the door called: "Sir, the mayor is here!"
"Ah, what? The mayor is here?" Shi Taigong was surprised.
The second uncle and the third uncle also looked moved.
Before they could stand up, someone sent another message: "Sir, the leftist congressman is here!"
"What? Even the congressman is here?"
At this time, no matter how stupid you are, you will understand that the reason why these big shots in Tsuen Wan District came here is definitely not to visit them.
Although Shi Taigong was highly respected, he was just a retired teacher.
Although the second uncle and the third uncle were prosperous, they were only small local businessmen.
Big figures like the mayor and district council members are beyond their reach.
"Please come quickly!"
Before Taigong Shi could finish speaking, Senator Zuo George and a short, fat man walked in with a smile.
Mr. Shi Taigong, his second uncle and his third uncle hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Congressman Zuo, Mayor Wang is here to visit us. It's really a great success!"
George Zuo and Mayor Na Wang didn't seem to see them at all, they just passed by them and clasped their fists at Shi Zhijian and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, for disturbing me! I'm too busy today and we haven't had time to chat."
chat!"
"I hope Mr. Shi will give me a chance!"
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly: "Please sit down!"
George Zuo and Mayor Wang looked surprised and hurriedly sat down where Taigong Shi and others were.
This sudden change made Shi Taigong and others embarrassed.
Is this still my home?!
Everyone sat down again and started talking again.
The reason why Zuo George and Mayor Wang came here is simply because they saw Shi Zhiqiang's strong interpersonal relationships today. For the people in power in their small place, whether it is Huo Yingdong or Xu Guangzhou, trying to squeeze them to death is like
Crush an ant to death.
Now that Shi Zhijian, the eldest son of the Huo family, and the third son of the Xu family are developing real estate on their territory, of course they have to come over to show their loyalty.
Seeing how enthusiastic they were, Shi Zhijian was embarrassed to refuse, so he chatted with them for a while.
Only then the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
Shi Zhijian also said that he had something to do. The real estate company was very busy just now, so he had to leave first.
No one dared to persuade him to stay, so they respectfully sent Shi Zhijian off.
After Shi Zhijian left, Mayor Wang first felt confident. He coughed and told his second and third uncles that the local chamber of commerce co-organized by the town still had two places, and he wanted to invite them to join.
For the second uncle and the third uncle, this is a huge happy event.
Not just anyone can enter the local chamber of commerce. In the past, they didn't even squeeze in through the back door, but they didn't expect it to be so easy to get in now.
The two immediately expressed their gratitude to Mayor Wang.
Here, George Zuo told Mr. Shi that since Mr. Shi had taught in a private school before and was experienced and highly respected, he hoped that Mr. Shi could continue to "use his remaining energy" and serve as the new principal of Tsuen Wan Primary School.
Taigong Shi never expected that such a big pie would hit his head. He was so surprised that he could hardly stand still.
He worked hard all his life to teach and educate people, but after he retired, he was full and waiting to die, with nothing to do. He never thought that he could come back to the world when he was old.
George Zuo also praised Taigong Shi's sword for not getting old, his old man's formidability, etc., and finally gave him a few words of encouragement, "The Shi family has a large number of talented people. In the future, Tsuen Wan will rely on you Shi family members!"
Of course Shi Taigong and others can hear it. The talents here definitely do not refer to them.
So after respectfully seeing off Councilman Zuo and Mayor Wang, Shi Taigong immediately asked someone to take out the tablet of Shi Zhijian's father, Shi Dafu.
Shi Dafu, this shoemaker who had always been looked down upon by Shi Taigong and ridiculed by everyone in the Shi family, now had his spiritual tablet placed in the most conspicuous place of the ancestral archway.
Taigong Shi asked people to place fruits and other offerings, and lit incense and candles. Then he said to his two sons: "Hurry! Hurry up and worship your eldest brother!"
Then he turned around and announced to everyone in the Shi family: "My word is that from today on, no one can touch this tablet! And we must - worship three times a day!"
