"It's all free of charge."
Zhong Yan waved his hand and looked at Li Jingqiu: "Jingqiu!"
Li Jingqiu hurriedly knelt down: "I, I am here!"
"Even though the matchmaker's words are your father's last wish on the matter of marriage, I am willing to listen to your opinion. If you have other ideas, I can make the decision for you."
"..." Li Jingqiu lowered his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
This made the four people in the Li family anxious, and they all shouted, "Third sister!" ', 'Jingqiu! '"Qiu'er!"
Li Liushi Ziying lightly stomped her foot, stepped out of the queue and bowed and said: "Uncle! Qiu'er has been shy since she was a child, not good at expressing herself, and is easily shy. I have talked with her and I am very willing!"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to give him a gentle kick.
Li Jingqiu raised his head slightly, his pretty face flushed, and immediately lowered his head when he caught Zhong Yan's gaze, "I, Qiu'er, am willing to be my husband as my concubine, and I will serve and follow you all my life..."
Zhong Yan was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "Get up, practice martial arts first and familiarize yourself with the affairs of the house. I will hold a wedding banquet for you in the future."
The four people in the Li family were overjoyed, and Zi Ying bowed repeatedly, "Thank you for your love, uncle. Qiu'er has been sensible and obedient since she was a child. She will not disappoint her uncle and share her worries for him!"
"Thank you, husband." Li Jingqiu stood up and stood aside, his head lowered, but he peeked from time to time, extremely shy.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she must like him in her heart, but because she used to call him uncle, she suddenly changed into husband, and she was ashamed to say it.
Zhong Yan stood up and looked around at everyone in the hall, his expression becoming majestic.
"Many of you here are from the Marriage Pavilion. You don't need me to help you recall all the hardships in the past. You have all experienced them deeply and they are still fresh in your memory!"
"You are just a little luckier than others and entered my Zhong Mansion!"
"Everything you have now is rewarded by Zhong. I can take it away at any time!"
"But I value love and justice. If you treat me with sincerity, I will treat you very well!"
"Of course, Zhong Mansion is not static!"
"All living beings are equal in the world! All differences come from ourselves!"
"Because of the lack of hard work of your fathers and ancestors, you have suffered in the past. If you don't work hard, your descendants will make the same mistakes again. By then, they may not have the good luck today!"
"There are countless refugees outside, and I can still see them clearly. They are hungry and freezing, humiliated, and have no dignity. The weak are like cattle and sheep, being slaughtered by others, and the humble, like pigs and dogs, are trampled at will!"
"If one day I die outside, will you be able to protect yourself? I will definitely be in the same category, or even worse!"
"If the Zhongfu encounters a strong enemy and compromises, will you ever see smiling faces again? Only bitterness, regret and humiliation will be left!"
"The only thing we can do is keep improving and work together!"
"We don't want to be arrogant and bully the weak, but we must be afraid to hear the name of our Zhong clan when strong people come to attack us, and we are afraid to bully them at will!"
"We don't ask for a large number of wealthy people and eternal wealth. We just want to have a glimmer of hope to survive when natural disasters and man-made disasters strike!"
"..."
The sentences are sonorous, shocking, and strike into the hearts of everyone.
Everyone was excited when they heard it. They pinched the corners of their skirts and clenched their fists, feeling that the blood in their bodies was boiling.
"Being able to sit here, no matter whether you are of the same mind as me or not, Zhong already regards you as one of his own!"
Zhong Yan glanced at the faces, his eyes lingering on Tang Xiaoshu.
Tang Xiaoshu, who was still shocked by the previous words, felt his heart skip a beat, but saw Zhong Yan look away again.
"I, Zhong Yan, have the ability and the confidence!"
"You follow me, as long as you are loyal and of the same mind, I can give you things you never dared to think of before!"
"Not to mention wealth, dignity, and status, there are also strength, appearance, and longevity!"
"As long as you work hard enough, I can use the resources to push you to the master level!"
"If you satisfy me, I can buy elixirs to help you stay young forever!"
"You can make great contributions to the Zhong clan, even if you can only live to be fifty years old, I am willing to ask for precious medicine to extend your life for ten, twenty years or even longer!"
Zhong Yan glanced at Yu Qingyao as he spoke. This time, King Gou did not dodge his gaze. Instead, his beautiful eyes shone with bright light.
The others couldn't hide their excitement, their faces flushed. Who wouldn't want to stay young and live a long life?
"Tang Xiaoshu!"
Suddenly there was a low shout.
Tang Xiaoshu's body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly stood up and walked to the middle of the hall to kneel down. He was extremely nervous and said, "I am here!"
"A clan has been around for a long time, and strength is the foundation. Today, the Zhong clan has set up a battle hall, with a shadow guard under it. You have done a good job in recruiting disciples. I appoint you as the leader of the shadow guard. You will select twenty to thirty outstanding disciples, train them individually, and be responsible for collecting intelligence. , mission assassination..."
Tang Xiaoshu really did his duty this time and made great contributions. Not only did he advance to the Xiantian realm, but he also selected sixty-seven warrior seedlings, all of whom were of good quality, under the age of thirteen, or orphans, or Spend a lot of money to completely separate from the original family.
"Yes! I accept the order! Thank you for your trust, husband!" Tang Xiaoshu felt a little confused. He originally suspected that his identity as a spy might have been discovered, but in the end he was assigned such an important and secretive task.
"Zhou Yunning!"
Zhou Yunning was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly came out of the queue, "I'm here!"
"You are the leader of the battle hall. I need a team with strong combat effectiveness, including numbers, weapons, coordination, etc. Think about it yourself and make a plan for me.
Do not worry. "
"Yes, I will definitely live up to my husband's trust and cultivation!"
"Zhong Xiaozhong, you are the chief steward of the Zhong clan and are in charge of all matters outside the palace."
"Yes, sir!"
"The mansion has its own school, Qiuxiang, you are in charge of the learning and education of all the children."
"Yes, husband!"
"Xia He, from now on you will be in charge of the cultivation resources in the mansion, including monster meat, monster blood, medicinal materials... and unified arrangements. From now on, everyone's expenses will be adjusted. They will only be allocated a basic share every month. If you want more, you can take credit." Change!"
"Yes, husband!" Xia He had bright eyes and was delighted in his heart.
Jiang Ping's face changed slightly, and she felt a little panic in her heart. This was originally her job.
"Dong Cao, as I said before, you are in charge of money and finance and the steward of the inner palace. From now on, you will also be in charge of the family members in the backyard of the Zhong Mansion."
"Yes, husband!" Dong Cao blinked and couldn't help but look towards Jiang Ping.
Zhong Yan looked at Mr. Li Yang and said with a smile: "As for the various businesses in the city, I wonder if my sister-in-law would be interested in helping me take care of them?"
"Yes, thank you uncle for your appreciation and trust! Liu'er will do his best!"
Li Yang's heart was shaken and she was extremely happy. She didn't expect that she still had her own affairs. Was this considered a formal member of the Zhong Mansion? No, in race! She added in her mind.
Zhong Yan looked around and his eyes fell on his wife Jiang Ping's face.
Jiang Ping twisted her hands together, and the smile on her face was a little stiff, as if nothing happened to her.
"Jiang Ping..."
Jiang Ping stood up quickly, "Here you are! Just give me your orders, husband!"
Zhong Yan looked at everyone, "A clan should have its own rules. Even if it is a mortal family, our Zhong clan must be strong and strong, not be bullied, and pass it down from generation to generation."
"Ping'er, you can consult with the sisters, ask for advice, and draw up a clan system. All issues such as rewards, punishments, and the continuation of future generations must be included. From now on, wherever there is a need inside and outside the house, you will participate. Go in and help.”
"Yes! I will definitely live up to my husband's trust." Jiang Ping's heart trembled slightly. She had fallen out of favor. After the clan rules were established, she became a handyman.
Ever since Xia He gave birth last time and her husband wanted to have an extra room, she wondered if she had done something wrong, but after thinking about it for so long, she still couldn't find out the reason.
"Okay, that's it for now, from now on..."
Li Shangwen couldn't help but stand up and said: "Uncle, please arrange something for the child to do!"
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "Then you and Xiaozhong, listen more, watch more and learn more."
"Yes, uncle!"
Zhong Yan met Li Shangwu's expectant eyes again, "Shangwu, you concentrate on practicing, remember what I said before, and take good care of the current situation of the Li family."
"Yes, foster father!"
Zhong Yan looked around, walked down the hall, and said loudly: "For the Zhong clan, everyone should strive for self-improvement and unite as one!"
Yan Sandao, who seemed to be ignored by everyone, stood up suddenly, raised his fists in the air, and shouted in a sweet voice: "Swear allegiance to the Zhong Clan to the death!"
"Swear loyalty to the Zhong Clan to the death!"
"Swear loyalty to the Zhong Clan to the death!"
"..."
The crowd shouted and the sound shook the building.
Even Gou Wang Yu Qingyao screamed red in the face. It was the first time she participated in such a family meeting, which overturned many of her previous concepts and thoughts and gained a lot.
Zhong Yanze looked at Yan Sandao, who was worthy of being a former female bandit.
He promised that there would be absolutely no instructions for rehearsal in advance.
