Qi Xuansu first talked with brothers Zhang Jucheng and Zhang Juqi. There was nothing much to talk about in this conversation. Zhang Jucheng mostly mentioned things in Nanyang and asked Qi Xuansu about some details of the ending.
Qi Xuansu didn't hide anything, he just said it.
After Zhang Jucheng heard this, he sighed repeatedly: "You have such tricks at such a young age, it really puts us all to shame."
Zhang Kuqi was even a little embarrassed. After all, his son-in-law was so good that it was difficult for him to be the father-in-law. Not to mention acting like an elder, he even had to be inferior to his son-in-law.
Maybe the people around Qi Xuansu didn't realize it, but in the eyes of others, Qi Xuansu was an extremely powerful person. How many people have fallen because of Qi Xuansu in recent years? Li Minghuang was demoted to the rank of female Taoist priest by Qi Xuansu just because he offended Qi Xuansu
Went to the United Mutual Aid Association.
Fortunately, Zhang Kuqi is open-minded, so even though he felt a little embarrassed, he didn't take it too seriously.
When Li Minghuang was mentioned, Zhang Jucheng thanked Qi Xuansu tactfully, which was considered as an indirect expression of bad breath.
This was a thorn in his heart, and Qi Xuansu finally pulled it out.
He couldn't help but lament in his heart that his daughter didn't know people well. She held Li Minghuang as a treasure and never forgot it, but she spoke harshly to Qi Xuansu, who had not yet made a fortune. She was really blind.
On the other side, Zhang Yuelu met his mother Tantai Qiong and Zhang Yuyue. Although they had met them in Yujing, there were too many people at the time and there was no chance to talk alone.
Tantai Qiong was a little silent.
Because the truth slapped her ruthlessly - her daughter's vision was much better than hers.
Who would have thought that the seventh-grade Taoist priest would become the youngest Shenzhi Master a few years later?
Could this be the appearance of a great master?
Anyway, she didn't notice it.
The Heavenly Master may have noticed it, but Zhang Jucheng probably didn't, but Zhang Jucheng was very resourceful and would never express his position easily or fall into the trap of others. Instead, he would leave room for maneuver and avoid embarrassment.
Even the Yan family compromised and bowed their heads in disguise. This seemed to mean that she was blind and if we really listened to her, we might not miss the New Year.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuelu is not a person who likes to add insult to injury. As long as she doesn't take the initiative to provoke her, she won't dig into old scores.
This made Tantai Qiong even more uneasy. In her opinion, it would be better for Zhang Yuelu to ridicule her in person, which would make her feel less guilty.
Zhang Yuyue felt even more uncomfortable.
Tantai Qiong received at most one slap, but she received two slaps, one from Qi Xuansu in the past and one from Li Minghuang now.
Zhang Yuelu saw the embarrassment between the two of them, so he didn't mention the bad things that happened back then, and instead talked about things in Nanyang.
Tantai Qiong and Zhang Yuyue usually didn't pay much attention to these important matters. They just knew that Zhang Yuelu was the chief there. Only when they heard Zhang Yuelu, the person involved, did they realize how powerful this was.
Although Zhang Yuelu did not deliberately brag about Qi Xuansu, but only described it realistically, it was still very shocking to Tantai Qiong and Zhang Yuyue. After all, Qi Xuansu was relatively gentle whenever he dealt with them. Maybe Tantai Qiong felt that Qi Xuansu was very uncomfortable.
Respectful, very rude, but compared with Pei Shenfu's treatment, Tantai Qiong suddenly felt that Qi Xuansu was actually very polite.
So the attitude comes from comparison.
However, Zhang Yuelu didn't go into too much detail and only touched upon it briefly.
Under Zhang Jucheng's instruction, the Zhang family also prepared new houses for Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu in Dazhen Mansion, and the two stayed overnight in Dazhen Mansion.
On the second day, the Heavenly Master and the elders of the Zhang family formally met with Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.
Compared with the confusion of the Li family's generational hierarchy, the Zhang family's generation is clearer and clearer. They are all white-haired old men.
In addition to the two familiar faces of Tianshi and Zhang Wuliang, there is also a real person in charge, a real person in charge of the palace, a real person who has retired, and an ordinary real person who has never officially held a position.
However, not having a position does not mean that there is no power. For example, Li Tianqing does not have a formal position, only a relatively decent real person level. However, Li Tianqing has such great power that he can even reach out to Nanyang. Qi Xuansu can take down Li Tianqing, but it does not mean that Li Tianqing
He was much weaker than Qi Xuansu, mainly because Li Tianqing was fighting in a different place. If he had been in the East China Sea, the result might have been different.
This time, the main purpose was to introduce Qi Xuansu to these elders of the Zhang family. In the past, Qi Xuansu often heard people mention how the elders of the Zhang family were doing. On many matters, the Heavenly Master also had to discuss with them, or Zhang Jucheng relied on the Zhang family.
How to control the Zhang family with the support of the elders.
Qi Xuansu has never met these Zhang family elders before, and today is a formal meeting.
Similarly, many elders of the Zhang family have heard about Qi Xuansu's deeds, but only Zhang Wuliang has seen Qi Xuansu.
This move by Tianshi brought Qi Xuansu into the upper echelons of the Zhang family, making him deeply involved in the affairs of the Zhang family. After Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu promised not to compete for the status of the clan, the elders of the Zhang family also reached a consensus. In this current situation,
We can no longer stick to the rules.
The Heavenly Master introduced Qi Xuansu one by one.
Needless to say, Zhang Wuliang is one of the seven assistants of Taiping Bank and one of the two second assistants. The last time he met Qi Xuansu was during the Fenglinzhou war. Zhang Wuliang represented the Zhang family and Qingwei Zhenren.
During the negotiation, Qi Xuansu also participated in the matter.
Next is Zhang Wuwei, the real person in charge of Wuzhou Taoist Prefecture. In fact, Qi Xuansu and this real person in charge also have a relationship. They were toasting at the wedding in Yujing, but there were too many people at the time, so Qi Xuansu only toasted in general and did not talk to each other.
Judging from his appearance, Zhang Wuwei was much younger than Tianshi, about seventy years old. He was quite kind. He smiled and nodded to Qi Xuansu: "I have heard about your name Qi Tianyuan for a long time, and today I finally get to meet you in person.
.”
Then there is Zhang Wuxia, the real person in charge of the Shangqing Palace. Because Tianshi, Zhang Wuwei and others all went to Yujing, there must be someone left behind, so Zhang Wuxia did not go to Yujing, but stayed in Yunjin Mountain.
It was the first time he met Qi Xuansu.
Judging from the appearance, Zhang Wuxia is younger, about sixty years old - the sixty years here refers to the sixty years of ordinary people, not the sixty years of the Third Prince. The Taoist sect just does not allow excessive rejuvenation.
, instead of not allowing rejuvenation at all, so although Donghua Zhenren and others are already in their sixties, they look like they are in their forties, and even their mentality and other aspects are more like people in the prime of life, rather than ordinary people.
The air of twilight.
Zhang Wuxia has a very strong secretarial temperament, meticulous and reserved, not taciturn, and very good at knowing what is right.
Zhang Ju's achievements are different. He is a strong person and is not suitable to be the real person in charge of the palace.
Zhang Wuxia nodded to Qi Xuansu and said nothing, as if the attitude of the Heavenly Master was his.
Then there is the Great Master Zhang Wuchang. He is the eldest among the elders of the Zhang family. He once served as Master Shenzhi and Master Zhangtang. However, because of his age and the fact that seven generations of disciples have already stepped up, he
After he retired, he was promoted to a first-class innocent Taoist priest by the Taoist sect, which is also an ordinary Da Zhenren.
The situation of Zhang Wuchang and Sun Heyu is similar, but Zhang Wuchang relies on the Zhang family, so his influence will only be greater than that of Sun Heyu, not less.
This old man looks similar to the Celestial Master, with both hair and beard white, but he is far less kind and dignified than the Celestial Master.
"Master Qi, we will be a family from now on." Zhang Wuchang said.
The last one, and the only ordinary real person who has not held a formal position, is named Zhang Wuyong.
This name is very interesting and gives people a somewhat self-deprecating feeling.
However, the fact that he can sit in the absolute inner circle of the Zhang family is unique. He may be a figure similar to Qiniang.
To sum up, Tianshi Zhang Wushou, Zhang Wuliang, Zhang Wuwei, Zhang Wuxia, Zhang Wuchang, Zhang Wuyong, and Zhang Wuhen were added in the past, but now she has been removed, and there is another one who did not show up. Tianshi Yi
He said it in a casual tone and didn't say much. He was probably a hidden figure in the Zhang family.
Speaking of which, there are obviously no big problems with this generation of the Zhang family, and their strength is quite good. The key is that the second and third generations have experienced a cliff-like decline, which makes the Zhang family appear to be very lacking in stamina, so they gave Zhang Yuelu
A chance to get ahead.
This is of course the mistake of the older generation, who did not train the follow-up team well. However, the older generation also said that the Zhang family is not like the Li family. There is no adopted son or son-in-law. It all depends on the children. Apprentice, adopted son, and son-in-law have their own merits.
The son has no choice. It’s like planting the land and seeing how the harvest is. It all depends on God’s will. Even if they want to train the next generation, they have to look at God’s will. Since God’s will does not allow it, there is nothing they can do about it.
.
However, the Zhang family has also made certain changes. It is absolutely impossible to adopt an adopted son. After all, it goes against the ancestral teachings, that is, non-Zhang family members are not allowed to serve as Celestial Masters. At that time, there was a Celestial Master with a different surname, who was also Xuansheng.
Due to the forceful pressing on the head, Xuan Sheng was no longer there and immediately returned to his original state, which also brought about a series of backlash, and even the apprentice's path was almost blocked.
After much thought, the son-in-law was the only option.
The Zhang family did relax their standards. For example, when Zhang Yuyue fell in love with Li Minghuang, the Zhang family had no objection and were somewhat happy to see it happen. However, Li Minghuang later ran away on his own.
Then came Qi Xuansu. To be fair, although the senior figures of the Zhang family did not support Qi Xuansu very much, no one jumped out to explicitly oppose Qi Xuansu, or suppressed Qi Xuansu. At most, they were lukewarm, or used the name of Dazong to protest against the Tianshi.
This approach was very enlightened considering that Qi Xuansu was only a seventh-grade Taoist priest at the time.
This also shows the attitude of the Zhang family. They urgently need some fresh blood to support the next two generations.
Now that Qi Xuansu has risen strongly and married Zhang Yuelu, the elders of the Zhang family will naturally follow the trend. This is the wisdom of the old people. Doing things like Tantai Qiong will only block their own escape route, which is meaningless.
Now, Tianshi wants Qi Xuansu to join the Zhang family's decision-making team and bring the relationship closer between the two parties.
Maybe the elders of the Zhang family could not ask for anything from Qi Xuansu, but their descendants always need a figure like Qi Xuansu. At least Qi Xuansu is better than Zhang Yuelu in taking into account human relationships, so the elders of the Zhang family reached a consensus and agreed with Tian
