Chapter 1396: Inheritance is the most important
Inheritance is what is important. How to make the family continue for a long time is the priority of every patriarch. On the contrary, the family strength and wealth are secondary.
Because the family has existed for so long, it has experienced countless ups and downs.
Our ancestors had conquered the country, but were almost exterminated. They had also been granted titles and appointed as prime ministers, and had also endured misery. The history spanned too long, and they had experienced everything.
Therefore, how to preserve the family is the top priority.
Even in a normal society, it is the same. After people become rich, they will think about how to expand their family and try every means to train heirs in order to pass on the business.
The better you are doing, the more attention you will pay to this issue. On the contrary, those who are not doing well will just give up.
He doesn't want to get married, date, or have children, and he jokes that his lineage has completely ended with him.
These are two extremes, a very cruel and true portrayal.
If you have the ability, of course you should pass it on from generation to generation. If you don’t have the ability, then don’t bother. Just do whatever makes you comfortable. After all, you only have one life, so just live comfortably.
If you insist on having more sons to carry on the family line, it would be a bit irresponsible. You are already living such a miserable life, why should you let your children suffer?
Whatever you think is right, and whatever you do is fine.
The Ying family, the Ji family, and the Liu family have experienced too many ups and downs in their inheritance over the years. They know that some things cannot be forced. As long as the family continues and the core is preserved, there will always be a glorious day.
…
Northwest, Lei Mansion.
When he saw the three clan leaders, Lei Zhen was extremely enthusiastic.
"Brother, Brother Liu, Chief Ji, why are you here? I said I was coming to see you and had already prepared the gifts, but you actually came first?"
"Hurry up and sit down! Someone, make some tea, the best tea!"
Come and sit down, take your seat; make tea, make the best tea.
A simple sentence put the emphasis on the right place, which made Ying Xian and the other two feel warm in their hearts. They began to wonder if they were overthinking it.
But it was just a suspicion, they already understood Lei Zhen completely.
Other people's guests and methods are two different things. Be polite when you should be polite, and be ruthless when you need to be ruthless.
The three of them sat down and tea was served.
"What's the matter?" Lei Zhen lit a cigarette and laughed, "You guys are such a fool! If you have something to say, why don't you just give me a call? Why bother coming all the way here?"
He lay comfortably on the chair, crossed his legs, and looked very casual.
This is a manifestation of the relationship. People are casual because the relationship is good. If the relationship is not good, they will definitely sit there steadily to maintain their own image.
"Lei Zhen, our trip..."
"Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. I, Lei Zhen, will definitely do what I can." Lei Zhen waved his hand and said, "We are all family. If you are so polite, it's not right. Hahaha."
The words are beautiful and the deeds are well done.
No matter the winner, the Liu family or even the Ji family, they all got what they wanted.
In this regard, Lei Zhen was really unambiguous. Since others helped him rebel, he must fulfill his promise.
Ying Xian smiled and turned to look at Liu Yu and Di Ji.
The three of them stood up at the same time, first brought out the ancestral tablet and placed it respectfully on the table, then took out the totem and knelt facing Lei Zhen.
"What the hell?"
Lei Zhen's face was filled with shock, and he quickly jumped off his chair to avoid the three people kneeling down.
"Thunder Emperor, please sit up straight." Ying Xian said in a deep voice.
"Sit? Sit for nothing. How can I bear your kneeling? You have even taken out the ancestor's shrine. What on earth do you want to do?" Lei Zhen was very panicked.
This was just superficial work. In fact, he had roughly guessed what the three patriarchs were going to do.
But the necessary state must be achieved, even if it seems a little hypocritical, but doing and not doing are two different things, just like when you are lying on the third floor and the technician asks you if you want to do a special project.
We have to be reserved. We are all new here and not veterans who can just order number 88 right away.
"Thunder Emperor, we have come all the way here to pledge our loyalty to you," the princess said solemnly, "so please sit down and witness our loyalty."
At the same time, all the elders of the three families came in and knelt behind their respective clan leaders.
The scene became quite grand, with the ancestor's tablet being brought out and the clan leader leading all the elders to kneel down, making it quite difficult for Lei Zhen.
"Please sit down, Thunder Emperor!"
Everyone made a sound at the same time, which made Lei Zhen feel helpless.
"Why are you doing this? We are all family. Do we need to show loyalty to each other when we are just talking about our private matters behind closed doors? Seriously, who do you think I, Lei Zhen, am?"
"Brother, you guys won't play that in my place, get up now!"
He was helpless just now, but now he is showing panic. His acting skills are gradually becoming more concrete, showing Lei Zhen's complex psychology vividly.
It's like wearing a yellow robe, and I have to scold him: Are you trying to make me unfaithful and unjust?
"Thunder Emperor, please sit upright, otherwise we will leave immediately and there will be no connection between you and me from now on!" Ying Xian said very seriously.
"That's right, please sit down, Thunder Emperor. Otherwise, we would rather the members of our family return to the mountain again and never leave the house!" Liu Yu was also firm.
"Thunder Emperor, you must sit upright."
The princess stood up and helped Lei Zhen sit down on the chair.
“This, this…”
"What's going on? Does our relationship need to be like this? I, Lei Zhen, hate formalism the most, and I trust people without a doubt. You're going a bit too far."
"Let's go!"
"Walk!"
"Wait, can't I just sit down?"
God knows how helpless Lei Zhen was. Seeing that the three people were about to leave, he could only sit down miserably. He felt like sitting on pins and needles and his whole body was uncomfortable.
"Here is the ancestral tablet. Ying Xian, the 38th patriarch of the Ying family, leads the 12 elders of the family to pledge allegiance to Lei Zhen! We will serve the Lei family as our master for the rest of our lives..."
The three men declared their allegiance in front of the ancestral tablets.
This is amazing. They can deceive others, but once they bring out the tablets of their ancestors, it is no longer a lie, but true loyalty.
"Thunder Emperor, please accept the winner's totem!"
"Thunder Emperor, please accept the Liu family totem!"
"Thunder Emperor, please accept the Ji family totem!"
After pledging allegiance, the three held the family totem high above their heads and asked Lei Zhen to accept it.
In addition to removing the ancestral tablets, handing over the totem to the person to whom one is loyal is also the most important step. Although this is of little use to outsiders, they can arbitrarily designate anyone in the clan to be the clan leader.
In other words, Lei Zhen cannot command anyone from any tribe with this thing, but he can decide the fate of Ying Xian and others and change the fate of the three tribes.
"Is it over?" Lei Zhen said with a cold face.
"It's over once you take the totem." Ying Xian said.
"Okay, I'll take it!"
Lei Zhen walked forward and collected the totems of the three families, but his expression became increasingly cold.
"Can you get up now?"
"able."
The three of them stood up.
"Who do you think I am, Lei Zhen?" Lei Zhen roared, "How could I not know what I am thinking of you? When have I ever treated you as outsiders? You are finished. I am very unhappy now!"
Put on a full show, push, give in, and then get angry.
