Chapter 6 Rice Bucket
"presumptuous!"
With a "bang!", Xie Xuan slapped his palms heavily on the tea table. The tea cup jumped violently, and fell to the ground with a "bang". Tea splashed everywhere, and the entire hall suddenly became quiet.
"Hao'er! Don't talk nonsense! Apologize to Tuo'er!" The face of the eldest elder Xie Zhishan changed instantly and he hurriedly said.
Everyone in the family knows that although the patriarch Xie Xuan treats people kindly and is indifferent to the world, there are three rebellious scales that no one is allowed to touch.
In addition to his wife who died of difficult labor and her only flesh and blood, that is Xie Tuo, a little fat man in the hall now.
Xie Tuo's father, Xie Zhiyuan, the second elder of the Xie family in Wushi Town, was killed in order to save Xie Xuan in the Magical Beast Mountains.
The battle was extremely tragic, and Xie Xuan was seriously injured and almost died. The great elder Xie Zhishan escaped because of guarding his family. In addition, there were 37 people in the Xie family who hunted in the Warcraft Mountains, and only three survived.
The second elder Xie Zhiyuan and his wife finally died under the crazy claws of the monster in order to make Xie Xuan escape and dragged the monster to death.
Xie Tuo is not bad at talent, but he is short and fat. He has lost his parents, has a eccentric personality and is not good at getting along with others. But even so, Xie Xuan treats him as his own and does not allow anyone to slander or despise Xie Tuo at all.
Just now, Xie Hao actually openly scolded Xie Tuo in front of everyone, "a dad with a father but a father but a pig-like idiot". This is like challenging the limits of the clan leader Xie Xuan in front of everyone. It is more like trying to prove in front of the clan members that his brain was really squeezed by some kind of "door".
"Ah!" Xie Hao, who was furious, also suddenly woke up. Under Xie Xuan's angry eyes, he hurriedly helped Xie Tuo, who was pushed down by himself, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, sorry, Brother Tuo, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those words just now. It's because I'm not talking about anything. All the mistakes are for me. You are not concerned about villains. Don't be angry, don't be angry..."
Although he kept apologizing to Xie Tuo, Xie Hao's eyes were always observing the expression of the patriarch Xie Xuan. You must know that if Xie Xuan really slapped himself in anger, even his father would not be able to stop him.
"Brother Hao, I'm not angry. I'm really fine. I'm used to it. What's the matter..." The little fat man Xie Tuo blinked and looked very generous. But no one noticed it. The moment he lowered his head, a dark look instantly passed through the depths of his eyes.
When he looked up again, the fat man's eyes lit up. He wrinkled his round nose and sucked hard twice, then scratched his head, muttering in surprise: "Hey? Brother Hao, have you applied powder? Why did I smell a fragrance on you..."
"Ah?!" Xie Hao blurted out and exclaimed, his body suddenly took two steps back quickly, his face becoming extremely ugly as if he was electrocuted.
"Haha, brother Tuo, you must have smelled wrong. Me, how could I, a big man, apply powder..."
"Oh? Did I really smell it wrong? But this fragrance feels so familiar..." The little fat man Xie Tuo frowned, as if he was thinking hard, "No, Brother Hao, please let me smell it again..."
As he said that, Xie Tuo moved his foot toward Xie Hao, which scared Xie Hao to take two steps back.
Xiang? Xie Chen's heart moved. Could it be the mysterious fragrance? But the next moment, Xie Chen quickly denied this idea. The mysterious fragrance is a kind of drug. If you take the understanding medicine, you can indeed not be affected by the fragrance. But one day later, no matter how stupid Xie Hao is, he would not put this drug on his body. Otherwise, as soon as he enters the conference hall, he would have been discovered by the senior executives of the keen family here.
What's more, Xie Hao had been to his room before, and was close to him. At that time, he clearly didn't smell any special smell.
"Haha, boy, your cousin doesn't seem as stupid as he looks on his face..." Jian Jiu's voice sounded in Xie Chen's mind. Through Xie Chen, he naturally took all this into his eyes.
Xie Chen smiled quietly and looked at Xie Tuo, a fat man with innocent face and suspicious face. If things go on, Xie Hao will be embarrassed today...
"Brother Tuo, you probably smelled it wrong. How could there be any fragrance on your cousin Hao? Don't mess around." Xie Chen spoke lightly and relieved Xie Hao in time.
"No?" The little fat man Xie Tuo paused obviously and looked at Xie Chen with complicated eyes.
"It's true, believe me." Xie Chen faced Xie Tuo's gaze, smiled faintly, and turned to Xie Hao who had retreated to him and said, "Cousin Hao, since there is nothing else, should I talk about whether Tuo is qualified to take Tianxincao?"
"Oh, yes, yes! Talk, talk!" Xie Hao, who was still a little shocked, nodded quickly. Obviously, the shock just now made him temporarily lose the ability to think.
"What are you talking about? Tuoer is the legitimate son of the second elder Zhiyuan cousin. In the past, my family lineage of the Xie family in Wushi Town was created by me, the eldest elder, and the cousin Zhiyuan." Xie Xuan looked solemn, glanced at the people in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Now, although Zhiyuan cousin has fallen, who dares to say that his legitimate son is not a direct child of the family?!"
Xie Xuan's words made the entire chamber quiet. The deacons of the families here looked at each other. Although they looked more or less disapproving on their faces, they didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing this situation, Xie Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. More than ten years have passed, and although the Xie family branch in Wushi Town has gradually been marginalized by the clan because of its relatively weak strength, it is still able to call the wind and rain near Wushi Town.
Such a long period of comfortable life has long made these veterans who founded the family's foundation forget the friendship of sharing weal and woe. This is true for people to leave, and even the heroes who created the family with their lives, let alone treat their descendants? Human nature is so cold that it is no wonder that the elder has a strange intention.
A heavy feeling of fatigue surged into Xie Xuan's heart. He suddenly understood why his son refused to give the Tianxincao, which could change his talent. It turned out that everything his son did was to understand his own knot and give him the opportunity to repay the life-saving grace of the second elder Xie Zhiyuan and his wife!
"Since everyone has no objection, then let me tell you, who is more suitable to take Tianxincao from Haoer or Tuoer?"
After Xie Xuan said that, he took a deep look, half lying on the soft couch, his son, who was wrapped around like a rice dumpling, was filled with tides in his heart.
Xie Chen was pulling Xie Tuo at this moment, muttering something in a low voice. Feeling his father's gaze, Xie Chen turned his eyes, smiled slightly, and nodded softly. As if he was saying, "Don't worry, Father, even if he doesn't have Tianxincao, he can still withstand the heavy responsibility of the entire family."
Xie Xuan's heart moved. For some reason, when he looked at his son's eyes, he immediately understood what his son meant. The blood-connected and spiritual nature between father and son instantly made Xie Xuan's heart warm and he felt much more at ease.
"Does my opinion? Young Master Hao is the best choice for both talent and character. If he is committed to creating a genius in his family, this Tianxincao should be more suitable for Young Master Hao."
A family deacon sitting on the right side spoke slowly, which immediately attracted many people to agree. They belonged to the great elder Xie Zhishan's sect, so they naturally spoke for Xie Hao at this moment.
The deacons sitting on the left looked at each other and hesitated and did not speak. Although they did not want the elder lineage to grow bigger, if Xie Hao and Xie Tuo were compared, Xie Hao would undoubtedly be better.
"Do you have no other opinion?" Xie Xuan frowned slightly. Now it is obvious that the situation is one-sided. Not to mention others, even Xie Xuan himself cannot find where Xie Tuo is stronger than Xie Hao. On the contrary, if you look for shortcomings, Xie Xuan can instantly find a lot of things from Xie Tuo.
The hall gradually became quiet. From beginning to end, the great elder Xie Zhishan didn't say a word. Xie Zhishan naturally had enough confidence in his son. If Xie Chen could compete with his son as the eldest son, then there was no support for this, Xie Tuo, who was as fat as a pig, was simply not even qualified to compete.
Xie Xuan asked again, and the hall was still silent. Xie Hao obviously recovered from the shock he had just now, avoided Xie Tuo and Xie Chen, and stood in the distance, with a look of pride on his face.
"Father, I wonder if the child can say a few words?"
Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, Xie Chen, who had not spoken, spoke.
"Oh?" Xie Xuan looked at his son in surprise, pondering and was about to speak. The elder Xie Zhishan, who was standing beside him, said first: "The nephew Xie Chen is not a senior member of the family, and the nephew took the initiative to give up Tianxincao, which has nothing to do with this matter. I think this matter is decided by the deacons and patriarchs of our family."
Xie Zhishan directly put Xie Chen in the position of the bystander with a word. Originally, speaking these words as Xie Zhishan was obviously a bit suspicious of being usurped.
However, after what happened just now, he suddenly realized that although Xie Chen was still young, he was meticulous. The current chaos was caused by these young men lying on the stretcher, and even made him almost look ugly. Now that Xie Chen still has to speak, Xie Zhishan naturally has to try his best to stop it.
Xie Zhishan's words naturally attracted the support of his lineage. His words were reasonable and well-founded, and even Xie Xuan could not refute it for a while.
Seeing this, Xie Chen couldn't help but sneer in his heart, wanting to close my mouth? Haha, if you did this from the beginning, I'm afraid I would feel a little tricky. But now, it's too late.
While sneering, Xie Chen's eyes were already looking at Xie Tuo beside him. The fat man immediately understood, took a step forward, raised his round little head, and his voice was sharp: "The Great Elder is right at all. Brother Chen is indeed nothing to do with this matter. But it has something to do with me, so can I say a few words?"
"Swish..." Xie Zhishan sneered and looked at Xie Tuo contemptuously, "Well, it has something to do with you. Just say whatever you want to say. It's getting late, so it's better to go back and have a meal early after you finish speaking."
"Of course you have to eat, but you have to make some things clear, otherwise you will have no taste. When eating, you should be calm, otherwise you will choke, and in severe cases, it may even cause stomach sagging..." Xie Tuo shook his round head, not realizing the sarcasm and impatientness in Xie Zhishan's words.
"I said Xie Tuo, can you get more happy? You can know that you are the most knowledgeable about food!" Xie Hao in the distance urged impatiently. If the patriarch Xie Xuan was not there, he would have cursed him directly.
"Brother Hao, don't be anxious." Xie Tuo turned his head and grinned. "This matter is the same as eating. How big is the belly to eat. How big is your appetite? You said your appetite is larger than mine, but you have never measured it. Who knows if you have big eyes and small belly, and are pretending to be a bucket of food?"
"What am I pretending? I was...ah! You guy hurt me!" Xie Hao was about to retort, and immediately noticed something was wrong halfway through his words, so he quickly shut up.
"Hao'er!" The elder Xie Zhishan looked cold and stopped his angry son. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Tuo: "So, does Tuo'er want to compete with Hao'er?"
