Chapter 12 Clan Unity
Chapter 12 Clan Unity
The ancestral residence of the Wu family in Licheng is a high-walled compound. It is close to the "Wu Family Lane". It is not only a place where the Wu family members worship their ancestors, gather for meetings, and have meals, but also the residence of the patriarch Wu Qiming..
“Come down." Wu Qiming got off the carriage first..
Wu Yuan helped Wan Qin get out of the car and glanced at the ancestral house. It was not as good as the general's house, but it was still extraordinary..
In Wu Yuan's memory, since his father died in the war, he and his mother usually only came here during the New Year and the three major festivals..
There are three major festivals, one is the 'Clan Founding Festival', the second is the 'Clan Founding Festival', and the third is the 'Wuwang Festival', all of which are festivals to commemorate sacrifices, and the most solemn one is.
For the people of the seven states in the Central Plains, the Wuwang Festival is common. They all commemorate the legendary ancestor of humanity, "Wuwang", but the other two festivals are not necessarily the same..
Of course, under the rule of Hengyun Sect, the opening day of the sect is at the same time.
“The patriarch is back." The housekeeper of the ancestral home came up to greet him, looked at the two people following him, and smiled: "It turns out it's brother Yuan and sister-in-law..”
“Uncle Fang is so polite." Wu Yuan said with a smile..
The housekeeper's surname was Fang, who was trusted by 'Wu Qiming'. In Wu Yuan's memory, he had always been very cold towards most of the Wu clan members..
It seems.
The results of the martial arts competition have already spread. The fourth, although not so eye-catching, is already very dazzling..
“Lao Fang, prepare some drinks, I will eat with Wu Yuan later." Wu Qiming ordered: "Also, no one is allowed to enter the study without my order..”
“Yes." Butler Fang continued..
Wu Yuan and his mother followed Wu Qiming into the study on the side of the courtyard. It was very quiet, had many books, and was very elegant. It was much better than Wu Yuan's home..
Sit down each.
“Wu Yuan, I have said everything that needs to be said on the way..”
“The Qing family is not too powerful, but I hope that the marriage will be made with the legitimate daughter of the head of the family. I have also met the Qing family's wife. She is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and is interested in taking the imperial examination. She can be your help." Wu Qiming said directly..
“The Luo family, the person you wish to marry is also the legitimate daughter of the sixth wife. She seems inferior to the Qing family's wife, but the Luo family is a luxurious and wealthy family, and is willing to provide a large amount of silver to help you practice. I remember that the son of the Luo family head, 'Luo He', was your classmate. friends.”
“I feel that the remaining ones are not suitable for you, so I will reject them for you." Wu Qiming looked at Wu Yuan: "Your mother meant that the Qing family is more suitable..”
“Mom, you also want me to get married? "Wu Yuan frowned.
“It's just an engagement, stay for a few years, and then get married." Wan Qin was very satisfied and said: "The Qing family's legitimate daughter, my mother has seen her from afar several times.……”
“mother！”
Wu Yuan frowned and said: "My son has no plans to get engaged for the time being, and he has no thoughts of getting married in the short term.".”
“Patriarch, Qing and Luo families, please decline on my behalf. The reason is that I am focused on martial arts and have no interest in the personal relationship between my children." Wu Yuan said solemnly..
Before the patriarch Wu Qiming could speak, Wan Qin immediately got angry..
“Yuan'er, you have always been determined and independent in doing things, and my mother has always relied on you." Wan Qin looked at his son, a little angry: "You have made great achievements in martial arts, and my mother is proud of you. But if we get married, you must pay attention to it, and I will You brothers and sisters have raised you. If you don’t get married and have no children, how will I see your father in the future?？”
Wu Qiming smiled.
Wu Yuan felt a headache.
In the past life, in the interstellar era, there were almost no parents urging marriage. In fact, a considerable number of human beings were "socially raised".
It's a pity that this is Middle-earth. It has many aspects in common with Blue Star's ancient world. The inheritance of blood is greater than that of heaven..
Of course, Wu Yuan would not blame his mother.
Different social forms naturally have different thoughts and customs.
“mother.”
Wu Yuan patiently said: "It's not that the child doesn't want to get married, it's just that the child has just turned fourteen, which is the best time for martial arts training, and he doesn't want to be distracted..”
“When the child is in his twenties and has become a master of martial arts, he will consider marriage. By then, the child will also be able to choose a more suitable wife." Wu Yuan said solemnly..
“Twenties? "Wan Qin was a little hesitant..
“Sister-in-law, a truly powerful warrior, it is normal for her to get married in her twenties and thirties." Wu Qiming smiled and said, "This is also the reason why I did not urge Wu Yuan..”
“OK！”
Wan Qin trusted Wu Qiming, but still glared at Wu Yuan: "In the future, you are not allowed to talk to me about not getting married..”
“Yes, please remember that, kid." Wu Yuan nodded continuously..
“Yuan'er, I don't understand big things, but the clan leader does. When anything happens, discuss it with the clan leader. Mom, go to the backyard to meet your aunt first, and you and the clan leader talk first." Wan Qin stood up, apologized slightly to Wu Qiming, and exited the study..
The aunt in her mouth naturally refers to Wu Qiming's wife.
“Wu Yuan, you have a good mother, don’t let her down." Wu Qiming said with emotion..
“Yeah." Wu Yuan nodded slightly..
Although her mother Wan Qin had limited vision and knowledge, she was by no means stupid. She had guessed early on that Wu Qiming was not only looking for Wu Yuan for marriage.’.
If it were just for this kind of thing, there would be no need to come to the Wu family's ancestral home..
I'm here because the walls have ears, and I have important matters to discuss..
Therefore, after discussing the marriage, Wan Qin left the meeting wisely. She believed that her son had good judgment and that the patriarch would not treat Wu Yuan badly..
“I really don’t think about marriage.？”
Wu Qiming poured tea while talking: "You are a sensible person and should be able to understand the benefits of engagement..”
“I, the Wu family, am a little weak after all. It is difficult for me to invest a lot of resources in you..”
“If you can become the son-in-law of the Luo family or the Qing family, you will have the support of a large family, and your martial arts training will be smoother." Wu Qiming looked at Wu Yuan.
“I won’t consider it." Wu Yuan shook his head. The clan leader Wu Qiming was right. If Wu Yuan was just an ordinary martial arts disciple, marriage from the same big clan would be the best choice..
Martial arts practice requires financial support！
If these great clans want to continue their glory, they also need the support of powerful warriors..
It's a win-win.
It's a pity that Wu Yuan's need for money is not too high, or in other words, the 'money' that the Qing family or the Luo family can provide is of little practical help to Wu Yuan..
not to mention.
In Wu Yuan's heart, his wife should be a congenial person. How could he choose it so casually?？
“The clan leaders, whether they are the Qing family or the Luo family, are not easy people. When they recruit a son-in-law, they all hope to get ten times the return." Wu Yuan said calmly: "Some help given to me now will become my bondage in the future..”
“When you become strong and become a high-ranking member of the sect, taking charge of a county or even a government, whether you will help or not will only depend on your thoughts." Wu Qiming said..
He said it very implicitly..
But Wu Yuan understands the actual meaning. Use it now, and after using it up, you can completely kick it aside in the future and just give some favors. Is it possible that they still dare to fall out?？
“Kindness should be repaid with springs; hatred should be repaid tenfold." Wu Yuan made no secret of it, and his voice was sonorous: "Chief, this is my martial arts heart. I, Wu Yuan, must act with integrity and do not go against my own heart..”
Wu Qiming's eyes lit up, his martial arts heart？
He vaguely understood why Wu Yuan could make such rapid progress..
“Okay, now that you have decided, I won’t advise you." Wu Qiming said: "What do you think about Xu Yuanhan?？”
Wu Yuan understood instantly.
This is probably the key point Wu Qiming wants to ask..
This matter must be kept secret. Wu Qiming cannot find other people in the clan to discuss it..
“Xu Yuanhan's skills are inferior to others and he lost in a fair duel. What can he say? Wu Yuan shook his head and said: "We have fulfilled our promise, otherwise, neither Xu Yuanhan nor Liu Ruyan will be my opponent.".”
“Hmm." Wu Qiming said with regret: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to the Xu family in the first place and let you enter the Yunwu Palace a year later, which would have given Liu Ruyan an advantage..”
“Who can know the future? This was our best choice at the time." Wu Yuan said calmly..
Wu Qiming sighed: "I understand too, but today's incident has happened. I wonder if the Xu family will be dissatisfied with us.".”
“I, the Wu family, are extremely benevolent and righteous. If the Xu family continues to oppress me, I cannot retreat blindly." Wu Yuan expressed his opinion..
Lowering your head for a moment is to hold your head high in the end.
If you just keep your head down, you will eventually be trampled to the bottom of the abyss of dust.
“I will consider it." Wu Qiming nodded lightly: "However, with General Xu's character, it shouldn't be that bad..”
“Okay, let’s talk about this later..”
“Wu Yuan." Wu Qiming looked at Wu Yuan: "In terms of martial arts training, my Wu family has less than ten martial arts masters and not even a top-notch master. It is difficult to help you. I can only provide you with some money. If you need it, I will definitely help you. Want to speak to me.”
“After today's competition, no one in the Wu family will oppose you anymore," Wu Qiming said..
“I haven't spent all the money I spent last time, so if I really need it, my family and I will certainly not be polite." Wu Yuan said with a smile..
In Wu Yuan's memory, many members of the Wu clan seemed to have 'oppressed' his own family over the past few years and had objections, but the core reason was not that his father died in the war..
But because his father died in the war, it was difficult for his family to support his cultivation, which resulted in occupying a large amount of family resources for a long time..
With Wu Qiming's support, the family's "treasury" spent thousands of taels of silver on Wu Yuan..
This money is not much for a wealthy family..
But to Wu? It's a huge sum of money！
After all, the family treasury is earned by the hard work of hundreds of people in the family, and is used to strengthen the entire family..
In the land of Middle-earth, most families have competition within themselves, but generally speaking, most families that are united to the outside world will fall sooner or later if they are not united..
Besides, don’t forget.
The former Wu Yuan could only be considered a top-ranked disciple in the martial arts academy, not the top one.！
Become a master? extremely difficult！
This is the reason why many members of the Wu family are dissatisfied, thinking that it is a waste of resources..
But today, at the tender age of fourteen, winning the top four in the martial arts competition was enough to convince everyone in the Wu family, knowing that the resources invested were not in vain..
actually.
This is also one of the reasons why Wu Yuan wants to participate in the martial arts competition.
He is grateful to everyone in the Wu family. Exposing a small part of his strength can make everyone in the clan happy and excited, so why not do it?？
Is it possible.
Like some of the novels I read in my previous life, do I have to find an opportunity to 'slap' the tribesmen in the face? Why bother?！
From any angle, Wu Yuan hopes that the Wu family will become stronger.
“Haha, I hope you don’t blame the attitudes of the previous uncles in the family. It’s not easy.” Wu Qiming smiled and said: “Actually, we are all looking forward to the fact that our Licheng Wu family can also give birth to a top-notch master.！”
“Doing business? Without the support of force, too much money is a disaster rather than a blessing..”
“To become a truly powerful family, martial arts masters are the foundation！”
ps: I’m getting married on the 11th. Although I have made a lot of preparations in the past two months, the complexity is still beyond my imagination. I spent a day running outside today, so the update time may not be stable before the 3rd. But we will make every effort to keep it updated！！
