Since all the house chiefs agreed, Xue Wenshan did not hesitate and wrote a letter directly, strictly stating that Xue Jiawei would obey Uncle Wu in the future, and if he regretted it in the future, he would be punished as treason.
Seeing Xue Wenshan being so formal, everyone was a little puzzled.
But now that the matter has come to an end, everyone will not go back on their word. After all the signatures have been signed, they sat down again.
Now Xue Wenshan can discuss Sister Chai's matter.
"Brothers and elders of the clan, since we have decided to surrender to Uncle Zhenwu, we must have a certificate of surrender. Besides, Uncle Zhenwu will be granted the title of uncle at the age of seventeen. It is not a problem to be granted the title of Duke or Marquis in the future. We Xue Although the family is an imperial merchant, if you look closely, you are just a merchant.
I visited many times in the past few times. Why was Uncle Zhenwu reluctant? It was because our Xue family had nothing but some money. Uncle Zhenwu ransacked countless homes in Jiangnan, and there were many merchant families who gave as much concessions as the Xue family. "
"So, in order to close the relationship between our Xue family and Uncle Zhenwu, I agreed to send Sister Chai of the eldest family to Uncle Zhenwu as a concubine. I hope you can help me convince the eldest wife!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little dumbfounded. Just after signing the contract, you encountered such a problem.
In order to get closer to Uncle Zhenwu, why didn't you let your daughter be your concubine? Instead, you let the daughter of the patriarch of the clan be your concubine.
As if he saw the meaning in everyone's eyes, Xue Wenshan sighed and said:
"Alas! It's not that I don't want Sister Qin to go, it's because Sister Qin and Sister Chai have different identities and are young, so Uncle Zhenwu doesn't like her!"
"Second Master, the eldest lady is the daughter of the patriarch of our Xue family. She represents the face of the Xue family. How can she be a concubine?"
"Yes, the second master. Not to mention that he has an uncle from the palace and an uncle from the Jiedushi family. Just talking about the Xue family, we are also a prominent family in Jinling. It would be fine if she is the daughter of our small family. She is the daughter of the eldest family member of the Xue family. , if we become concubines, what will outsiders think of our Xue family?"
"Our Xue family and Jia family are still related to each other. How will our Xue family gain a foothold in Jinling in the future?"
Although he knew that everyone would not agree, Xue Wenshan did not expect that everyone would oppose it so fiercely.
It's right to think about it. Although the daughter of the clan leader and the daughter of the head of the small house are both daughters of the Xue family, their identities are indeed very different.
"Don't get excited, everyone. I have already promised Uncle Zhenwu about this matter, and Uncle Zhenwu has also agreed. If I go back on my word, I won't be teasing Uncle Zhenwu. You should also think about the consequences!"
"To be honest, Uncle Zhenwu's magic medicine is inherently dangerous. Fortunately, I tested the medicine and allowed Uncle Zhenwu to master the dosage. If you help me, I will find a way to get some magic medicine for you to use for nourishment. Body!"
After hearing the magic medicine, everyone became silent.
After all, they are a branch of the Xue family, why should they blindly consider the Xue family's face.
Even if he loses some face, with Uncle Zhenwu taking care of him in the future, he can get closer to the Jia family in Jinling.
In this way, no one in Jinling dares to touch the Xue family. As long as the Xue family is not targeted, they will live their lives as side branches if they lose some face.
"Hahaha, since everyone agrees, while my sister-in-law is at home, let's use my humble two-bedroom house to hold a small clan meeting!"
Now there was no objection from anyone, so Xue Wenshan invited everyone to the main hall in the front yard, then set up a screen in the back hall and sent someone to invite Wang Xue.
In the back house, everyone was rejoicing that Xue Wenshan had recovered from his illness. Suddenly, a servant said that the second master had summoned the clan elders and heads of each house to prepare for a clan meeting, and asked Xue Wang and Xue Pan to go there.
Although Wang Xue was confused, she still took Xue Pan to the front yard. After letting Xue Pan go to the front hall, she sat down behind the screen in the back hall.
After everyone had greeted each other, Wang Xue asked about the purpose of the meeting.
Although everyone had made up their minds, when they saw the wife of the Xue family, they all did not dare to speak. They all looked at Xue Wenshan, wanting him to speak first.
"Madam, the clan elders and house chiefs came here today because of my illness. It was my idea to just hold a clan meeting!"
"Sister-in-law also knows that I have always wanted the Xue family to be affiliated with Uncle Zhenwu. Now Uncle Zhenwu has agreed to take over the Xue family. The heads of each house and the two clan elders have also agreed. I don't know what my wife wants. ?”
After Xue Wenshan finished speaking, he stood there, waiting for Wang Xue's answer.
In an instant, the hall became deathly quiet.
After a long time, Xue Wang's voice came from the back hall.
"Are you trying to force me?"
"Second uncle!"
Xue Pan, who was on the side, also noticed the atmosphere in the hall and looked at Xue Wenshan with some disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that Xue Wenshan, who had helped them a lot, would bring people to persecute his mother.
"Madam, what you said is wrong! I am also thinking about the Xue family. Not to mention what the future of Uncle Zhenwu will be. He is the Uncle Wu who holds real power. If we belong to his sect, our Xue family will not say that we will embark on a real official career in the future, at least. It’s better than now!”
"Brother Tadou must have told you about Uncle Zhenwu's magical medicine. The eldest lady's disease is also a strange disease that is difficult to cure with medicine and stone. I wonder if I will need Uncle Zhenwu's help for future treatment!"
"Second Master, there is no need to say anything else. Someone has seen Sister Chai's illness and has a good prescription. I won't ask for Uncle Wu's magic medicine!"
Mrs. Xue Wang still hasn't changed her mind. Even if the seventh branch of the Xue family leaves Feng Zihao, she doesn't think it will be better than giving away the entire Xue family.
Moreover, if she agrees, she may offend her brother and sister in the future, which is really not worth the gain.
"It seems that my wife has made up her mind and doesn't want to change it!"
"Now half of the managers of Xue Jiafeng House are appointed by me, and there are also people in each house working in the management department of Feng House. If my wife thinks that Feng House is still stable without so many people at once, I have nothing to say!"
"you!"
Now Mr. Xue Wang was a little anxious. His second brother was preparing to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron. Unfortunately, he thought he was a good person before, but he turned out to be a treacherous person.
Naturally, Xue Wenshan didn't know what Wang Xue said about him. Seeing that Wang Xue was speechless for a moment, he spoke again:
"Madam, today not only is the Xue family dependent on Uncle Zhenwu, but we also have something to discuss with my wife. If my wife doesn't agree, don't blame us!"
"I have already agreed to send the eldest daughter to Uncle Zhenwu's house as a concubine. I hope my wife can agree to it for the sake of the Xue family's future!"
"You bastard!"
After Xue Wenshan finished speaking, Mr. Xue Wang was completely angry. He stood up and started to scold Xue Wenshan without caring about etiquette.
"You are so brave, you actually dare to make the decision for Da Fang! You are committing the following crime, and even the laws of Da Chu will not spare you!"
"Brother Pan, call your sister and let's go!"
Mrs. Xue Wang was planning to ignore Xue Wenshan and leave directly.
"Wait a minute, madam, today is just a small meeting within our clan. If the big family doesn't even think about the Xue family, now that the clan elders and house chiefs are here, I will inevitably report it to the government and hold a real clan meeting. !”
"You should also know about Brother Pan's reputation in Jinling. If everyone in the Xue family agrees, does Madam think that Brother Pan's status as the eldest son can be abolished?"
