After everyone was completely calmed down, Ji Song waved to Ji Ren and signaled him to go out. There were some things that juniors like them could not know yet.
Ji Ren also knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay in this important place of the ancestral temple, so he bowed to Ji Song and the elders, turned and left, closing the door gently as he left, as if he was worried about disturbing everyone.
"Ji Ren is a good kid. He's not very old, but he's extremely calm. He's a good youngster. Brother Song, you can do whatever you want!
If there is a chance, wait a few years and recommend him to be a minor official first. Whether he succeeds in the future depends on his luck. "
Surprisingly, the second uncle did not say what happened just now, but praised Ji Ren's performance.
"That's right, no matter who it is..."
"Shut up! Are you ashamed? It's shameless to blatantly use public service for personal gain. It's so embarrassing!" Before the third uncle could finish speaking, he was spat back by the second uncle. He wanted to retaliate, but he thought The shadow of youth shrank his head and chose to follow his heart.
The second uncle was very satisfied with the third brother's attitude. Although he was old, his seniority was still here. What's wrong with you? Do you still dare to change the world?
Don’t think that if you have an educated grandson, you don’t know who your surname is and who is the oldest. As long as my second brother is still here, you can’t even think about changing the world.
Everyone has long been accustomed to these two living ancestors. Who makes them older!
In the Tang Dynasty, elderly people over eighty years old were considered auspicious, and all criminal laws were of no use to them. It could be said that there were no taboos!
Ji Song saw that there was no way for them to continue like this, so he shouted helplessly: "Uncle..."
Hearing Ji Song calling him, the second uncle finally stopped bombarding the third uncle, glanced at him sideways and said, "I'll settle the score with you later!"
Then he said to everyone in the lobby: "Don't spread this matter first. Except for you, if anyone goes out and talks nonsense, don't blame me for using family methods.
Ji Bo, Ji De, Ji Lu, and Ji Ming stay, and everyone else should go out! "
The second uncle didn't explain anything to everyone, and waved them away, leaving only the four people who managed the family affairs.
Uncle Ji and Ji De are Ji Song's second uncle and sixth uncle. They manage Ji's paper making workshop and perfume workshop respectively, and are considered core figures.
The papermaking workshop Ji Song is not listed on the public record, but is jointly owned by the Prince of Qin's Mansion. The workshop is also located in a manor owned by the Prince of Qin, and has been selling cheap paper to outsiders. In recent years, the Prince of Qin's Palace has made a lot of money. His fame and fortune also made the prince and his family jealous, but no one knew that this was Ji Song's property given to the King of Qin.
Ji Ming is the shopkeeper of his family. He comes from a collateral family and has a good business talent. In addition, Ji Song gave him some later theories, which made him a fish in water in business.
So Ji Song asked him to take care of the sales, and he never let Ji Song down.
Ji Lu is the descendant of the second uncle. His father is the son of the second uncle. Unfortunately, he died before he was forty. It was the second uncle who brought him up.
Ji Lu is responsible for the guards of the clan. After Ji Song is ennobled, he has ten guard quotas. These are maintained by the imperial court and receive a certain salary every year.
Wei Bang, who came to announce the decree, asked Ji Song to submit his own bodyguard selection after accepting Ji Song's money.
Therefore, Ji Song selected ten veterans who were his father's subordinates as bodyguards and reported them to him. These people were all from Jiangjia'ao, and some were even members of the Ji clan. They were also Ji's most reliable candidates.
Ji Ming is the leader of these ten guards. He is also responsible for training the youth of the clan. He is also the martial arts teacher of Ji's academy. He is the backbone of the family, and his importance is self-evident!
"Brother Song, is there any possibility of leaks about my Ji family lineage?"
Hearing this, Ji Song immediately understood what his second uncle meant. Although his family lineage was not very prominent, it was still somewhat eye-catching.
Although no one will criticize you now, you, a little baron, still have no title, but you have your own family lineage. To put it bluntly, your virtue is not worthy of your title.
You must know that the lineages of many large families in today's world are calculated from the Han Dynasty.
But now you are a baron with no reputation, and you were a nobody before, but you have a complete lineage that they dream of. How do they feel? This is to be hated.
That's why he asked just now. Ji Song thought for a while and replied: "I'm afraid not. This matter was handled by Magistrate Yao, and he couldn't handle it personally. No one knows how many people know about it."
"That's it!" My second uncle didn't read much, but he lived a long time. What has he never seen?
Although I don’t know what specific harm this incident will have on my family, it is definitely not a good thing for the current Ji family, so I hesitate!
"Second uncle, actually this matter is not as serious as you think. It is indeed surprising that our Ji family has a complete lineage inheritance, but it is not uncommon in other families.
Besides, there are no taboo characters among our ancestors, so even if others find out about it, it won’t be a big deal.
The most important point is, how many people believe this? I, the Ji family, are a small clan that has only been prosperous for three years. Others may only take it as a joke! "
Ji Song's words did not dispel the old man's worries. He frowned, thought for a while and said: "Brother Song, although you are precocious, you have a sinister heart. It doesn't mean that others won't trouble you if you don't provoke it. The most common thing in the world are those villains. When they are jealous, no one knows what will happen.
Our Ji family is weak at this time. Although it is an honor to have a complete lineage, there is no need to publicize it everywhere.
In this way, the tribesmen can only tell the outside world that we are just a small tribe that lived here during the pre-Qin Dynasty, and we do not know the authenticity of our previous lineage. In fact, this is also true. The real genealogy is in the Qinling Mountains, and only the clan leader knows the specific place. "
When Ji Song heard the old man's words, he immediately sighed in his heart. Sure enough, there is an old man in the family. If there is a treasure, sometimes living a long time is the greatest victory. The second uncle has not read any books, but with his rich life experience, he has learned a lot. Make the most advantageous choice quickly. This is something you can't learn no matter how much you read.
As for where the family tree is, only the clan leader knows it. Ji Song immediately thought of the ancestral brocade and silk scrolls. He has not yet understood the contents of it. Maybe the whereabouts of the family tree is there, but he has not found a way yet. That’s all.
"Okay, then let's do it your old way!" Ji Song did not hesitate. The sooner this happens, the better, so that we can take the initiative.
After settling the matter, everyone felt relaxed, so Ji Song talked about another thing: "It's time for the four of you to talk about your gains in the past few years, so that everyone can be aware of it in the future."
Uncle Ji and the four of them looked at each other and knew that they were going to take stock of Ji's family fortune. Thinking of this, they became energetic and eager to try.
