Gu Xi, father and son, also looked at Xie Xuan at the same time.
They were a little surprised.
The representative of the Xie family has always been Xie Jun, but now things have changed. Xie Xuan has come to represent the Xie family.
In particular, Xie Xuan also thanked Lin Feng.
There's so much news here.
Xie Xuan smiled slightly and said calmly: "Xiandi and I met in Xianyang. After arriving in Jinling, we were imprisoned together. We are friends in times of need. Before, Xiandi asked me if I would be the heir to the Xie family. I said yes."
"Actually, I didn't care. It was so difficult, almost impossible."
"I didn't expect it to happen today."
"Previously at home, Xie Jun was driven back to his old home in Wu County by his father. I was designated by my father as the heir of the Xie family. I will study with my father and serve as an official in the court."
"In this matter, if my virtuous brother had not dealt with Xie Jun in the court, Xie Jun would not have been so embarrassed and abandoned by his father."
Xie Xuandao: "Thank you for these, dear brother."
Gu Xi interjected: "The reason why Xie Jun was abandoned is that on the one hand, Xie Jun was embarrassed in the court, and on the other hand, the more important reason is that when my uncle left the imperial city, he talked to Xie Shangshu."
"My uncle said that thanks to Shangshu's hard work, the Jin Kingdom and the Xie family are what they are today. He even asked Xie Shangshu, saying that thanks to Shangshu's great reputation throughout his life, he earned his reputation before his death. How will his reputation be arranged after his death? How will the Xie family's future arrangements be arranged? "
Gu Xi said: "My junior uncle said that Xie Jun is incompetent and his virtue is not worthy of his place. The Xie family will be in disaster. This is what my junior uncle said."
Xie Xuan was shocked when he heard it.
Xie Xuan subconsciously judged that Lin Feng's confrontation with Xie Jun in the court had caused Xie Jun to lose face.
Unexpectedly, there is such a thing.
Xie Xuan solemnly said again: "My dear brother, Xie Xuan is grateful for your help. If my dear brother can be of use to me, Xie Xuan, as long as it does not go against the interests of the Xie family or the Jin State, I will go through fire and water, no matter what." .”
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Brother, you are polite. In fact, Xie Shangshu has clearly seen Xie Jun's quality and has already had an idea in his heart, so he will abolish Xie Jun. I just follow the trend."
Xie Xuandao: "My dear brother, please be humble. Come and bring the gift in."
After the words fell, the attendant came in carrying a box, Xie Xuandao: "Yesterday when we were in prison, my wise brother once said that after lobbying the Jin State, he would also go to Qi State, and going to Qi State requires some money, so I Prepared some belongings.”
"In addition, I also have a letter, which is the Xie family's understanding of the general situation in Qi."
"It's all in the letters."
"My dear brother, when you have nothing to do, you can take a closer look."
Xie Xuan stood up, picked up the letter himself, and handed it to Lin Feng.
After taking it, Lin Feng admired in his heart, as expected of Xie Xuan, he handled the matter flawlessly. Money only means something on the surface. In fact, this letter is the most crucial, which will help Lin Feng act in Qi State.
Lin Feng said: "Brother, you are interested. Thank you very much."
Xie Xuan shook his head and continued: "Xiandi, I am here on behalf of the Xie family to resolve the grievances between the Xie family and Xie Jun. Xie Jun mishandled the matter and he has been dealt with. Please don't misunderstand the Xie family because of Xie Jun. They are all such people.”
Lin Feng said: "Brother Xie, I won't say too much. Come, let's wash away our grudges with a glass of wine."
"Okay, let's wash away our grudges over a glass of wine."
Xie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wine bottle, and drank a glass of wine with Lin Feng.
After the two drank, Xie Xuan no longer had any worries and turned to talk to Gu Xi, Gu Changce and others.
People were talking and the atmosphere was lively.
The banquet ended at nearly noon. Xie Xuan left leisurely and Lin Feng temporarily rested at Gu's house. He sat down in the backyard room and wrote a letter.
"My wife, Yuyao, is like seeing her face to face."
"After I left Xianyang, I missed you very much. They say that this is my hometown where my heart is at peace. You are in Xianyang, and my heart is at peace in Xianyang. Although Jinling is prosperous, it is not as good as having you by my side."
"On this occasion, a little poem comes to mind."
"What is lovesickness? One person, drinking wine, facing a long pavilion. Can you be more specific? The cold moon and the lonely wind are also affectionate. Can you be more specific? I miss you!"
"Take care of yourself and wait until I come back."
After Lin Feng finished writing a letter, he asked Gu Changgeng to arrange for someone to send the letter away.
After the letter was sent away, Lin Feng took a nap. When he woke up in the afternoon, it was already close to Shen Shi. After he got up and washed, the attendant came to report, "Mr. Lin, the eldest son wants to see you."
"please!"
Lin Feng gave an order.
Not long after, Gu Changce came.
Gu Changce is twenty-eight years old and is Gu Xi's eldest son. Gu Changce was born when Gu Xi was sixteen years old. Even though he was older than Lin Feng, he was respectful in front of Lin Feng.
Gu Changce saluted and said, "Master, great uncle."
Lin Feng said: "What's the matter?"
Gu Changce looked solemn and said: "I have something related to the rise and fall of the family, and I want to ask my uncle for advice."
Lin Feng said: "Tell me and listen."
Gu Changce said: "The Gu family has been working hard, and my father has been working hard. But compared with the Xie family, there is still a big gap. What if I, the Gu family, want to surpass the Xie family?"
Lin Feng raised his brows, somewhat surprised by Gu Changce's question. This question is very broad, but it also reveals Gu Changce's ambition.
This is someone with an idea.
Lin Feng said slowly: "Xie Chong's ability is beyond doubt. Even for people like Xie Chong, the growth trajectory cannot be replicated. Xie Chong's talent is one thing, and his ability is even more unique. This cannot be taught. It is the formation of his abilities and many good fortune opportunities that have created Xie Chong and the Xie family today."
"Of course, from a high probability analysis, if the Gu family wants to surpass the Xie family, it does not depend on how to advance or how to contain the Xie family. The most feasible way is to have more sons and spread the branches. Only then can this be possible."
Gu Changce's eyes widened with an incredulous look on his face, and he said, "Why?"
He doesn't understand.
If the Gu family wants to be strong, why does it involve giving birth to a son?
How does it involve spreading branches and leaves?
Lin Feng smiled softly and said: "This is a matter of large-scale selection. For example, if Xie Chong today has only one son, Xie Jun, it can be concluded that the Xie family will inevitably decline in the hands of Xie Jun."
"The strength of the Xie family must have been greatly weakened. Because of Xie Xuan's presence, this was the result of Xie Chong's unintentional planting. Unexpectedly, Xie Xuan's character and mind were so outstanding that Xie Chong suddenly had a suitable partner. Heir."
"Xie Xuan himself has many Xie family brothers. Without these brothers, Xie Xuan will inherit the Xie family's foundation in the future and will not have many true confidants. After all, between outsiders and his own brothers, his own brothers must be more trustworthy."
"If there are more brothers, we can further increase our strength and take power. To put it more simply, if there are more people, it will be easier to raise Gu. In the end, we can cultivate a suitable person."
Lin Feng talked eloquently and elaborated on his views on population.
He continued: "In fact, Xie Chong's generation, although Xie Chong is powerful, is actually inseparable from the Xie family. Xie Chong is in the court, and many of his brothers are serving in the local government, so Xie Chong has such strong control. "
"As for the Gu family, your father Gu Xi's generation doesn't have many brothers, and there are few people who can share his worries."
"As for you three brothers, there are even fewer. Gu Changgeng has not yet become an official. If you have more brothers, in the future the Gu family will pass into the hands of you Gu Changce, and there are many people you trust. If these brothers arrange it one after another, there will be Helps you take control of the situation.”
"The so-called brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers, have more people, and there are more choices to choose from. Therefore, if a family wants to become stronger, it must increase its population if it has sufficient resources. This is fundamental."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that there are resources. Otherwise, if there are too many people, they will fight endlessly."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "This is just my family opinion. It may not be correct. You can make your own decision."
Gu Changce thought carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he admired him, and said: "My uncle's words really enlightened me. Putting aside other aspects, having more brothers does have great advantages. This is the most fundamental and reassuring thing. Strong relationship.”
Lin Feng smiled and said, "That's what I mean."
Gu Changce cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, uncle. I already understand, so I won't disturb you."
Lin Feng nodded and looked at Gu Changce's leaving figure with a hint of approval in his eyes.
Gu Changce is very good.
Lin Feng did not stay at the house. He went to inquire about the location of Gu Xida Chantian's stronghold in the city, then left the Gu family in a carriage and went to where Xu Liuli lived.
