The clan had a lot of affairs to hand over. Although Uncle Wang was appointed as the chief steward, at this juncture, Uncle Wang had to ask Chen Youniao to stay anyway and wait until the various properties were counted before going up the mountain.

Yunshan Mountain was preparing for a large-scale construction project. It had not been clean for ten days and was not suitable for living. Chen Youniao thought about it and decided to live in his ancestral home for the time being.

Uncle Wang was overjoyed and immediately recruited people to help.

After the ancestral home was sold, most of the servants stayed on, including several "old people" who had been friends with Uncle Wang before. Now that they are well, they are working for the fifth house again, which is equivalent to slipping away and nothing has changed.

Of course, the one who has changed the most is Uncle Wang, who has been promoted to the position of great steward. Below the two of them, but above hundreds of others, he is envied by many people, who all say, "Ah Sheng has made his mark"...

However, everyone also understands that this is a rich reward for loyalty.

I remember when Uncle Wang accompanied the young Chen Youniao to the Laoshan Taoist Temple. They traveled through mountains and rivers all the way and worked hard. When they returned, they were no longer home and were down and out, but they still insisted on following the young master and never left him.

With such loyalty and loyalty, no one can find fault with him when he becomes a great steward.

Since the butler was different from an ordinary servant, seven or eight matchmakers soon came to propose marriage to Uncle Wang. Even his servant Wang Wang got a lot of money. After all, he was loyal and righteous.

Uncle Wang couldn't adapt to such treatment for a while, so he ran to Chen Youniao to discuss it and let the young master make up his mind.

Chen Youniao said: "Uncle Wang, you are the one getting married, not me. You just have to take your fancy."

Uncle Wang giggled and said: "I think about those yellow-flowered girls. I can never harm others. It seems good to have a widow in her thirties."

Chen Youniao laughed dumbly. Unexpectedly, the old man was quite enlightened: "A woman is sensible and can warm the bed, so she is indeed suitable."

Uncle Wang got the approval and said hurriedly: "It's settled then. Let's get married as soon as possible while the young master is at home, so that you don't have to run around, young master."

Chen Youniao smiled and said: "Don't worry, you've got it right. Don't marry a hottie and make the family no longer peaceful. Don't worry, as long as you get married, I will definitely be there to toast you."

Uncle Wang couldn't help but burst into tears: "Thank you so much, young master. My old life, and if I have children in the future, their lives will be yours."

In an era when superiority and inferiority are clearly defined, class is like a gap that is difficult to bridge. Normally speaking, a housekeeper getting married is really nothing to the master's family. In other words, Chen Youniao is kind and easy-going, without those particularities.

For Uncle Wang, it was a supreme honor to be toasted by Chen Youniao.

Uncle Wang was as efficient as ever, and he really took a fancy to the widow, who was in her thirties, good-looking, and capable of raising children. The main reason why she became a widow was because her husband died unexpectedly and died early.

There is nothing to be picky about when a widow remarries. Although Uncle Wang is a bit older, he has a strong body, not to mention his status as a housekeeper. As long as he wants to and is willing to spend money, he can marry a beautiful young girl.

In the Chen family, the direct descendant of the fifth family has been silent for a long time. If Chen Youniao hadn't risen, he might have been eliminated long ago.

Taking advantage of Uncle Wang's wedding, Chen Youniao wanted to make it lively and sent out a lot of invitations. For Chen Youniao's sake, the patriarch Chen Sangong and others were present, making the marriage of a widower and a widow very grand.

.For a time, it caused a lot of discussion among the clan members.

Song Tianfu also came, bringing two of his clan members with him. He came to see Chen Youniao first, exchanged a few words with him, and then sat down beside him to drink tea.

One of the Song family disciples asked in a low voice: "Brother Fu, I thought it was Chen Guanzhu's wedding with this grand ceremony. Is it against the rules for a butler to make such a big deal?"

Song Tianfu said calmly: "What do you know? Brother Chen has his own specialties in arranging things like this."

"Oh, what's the point?"

"Brother Chen, this house has been weak for a long time, and he has always been criticized and ostracized by the Chen family. Now that he has become the master of the temple, the Chen family is eager to repair the relationship, so naturally he shows his kindness in every possible way and sends back the house, land, property, etc. This is

It involves the interests of each house. Although the parents all nodded in agreement, what about their children? As for the wives, it is inevitable that they will complain."

The two sons of the Song family listened and understood the truth, but what does it have to do with Wang Bo's grand wedding?

"Brother Chen has become the master of Yunshan Temple. He is a practitioner and will live on the mountain for a long time. Uncle Wang is asked to take care of various affairs at the ancestral home, but after all, Uncle Wang is just a servant. He lacks prestige and is easily blocked.

If there is any delay, it is more likely that someone in the clan will cause trouble and play tricks. By organizing this marriage, everyone above and below will see Uncle Wang's status clearly. In this way, no one will dare to be disrespectful to him in future actions."

Song Tianfu spoke eloquently.

Only then did the two disciples of the same clan understand and suddenly realized: "Master Chen not only values ​​friendship and friendship, but is also good at managing people's hearts."

"Of course."

Song Tianfu said proudly: "At the beginning, I saw that he was not a creature of the pond, and I strongly advocated not to collect debts. Otherwise, how would we have the chance to come here to have a dinner today?"

As Chen Youniao advanced in cultivation and became a temple master, Song Tianfu became more and more respectful, and immediately went to Yunshan to donate a large amount of incense money to express his support for Chen Youniao's new appointment.

Not to mention the excitement.

A few days later, Cangsong Taoist sent a letter saying that the plan for the top of the mountain was almost completed and asked Chen Youniao to go back to the mountain for inspection. The affairs of the clan had also been sorted out, and the rest were just trivial matters.

Hand tail.

Before returning to Yunshan Temple, Chen Youniao went to visit Meng Beiliu. There were too many things going on recently, which made him, a time manager, a bit busy.

Chen Youniao has decided to take part in this year's provincial examination and has to consult Master Meng on many matters. Master Meng's thatched cottage has been closed and no longer teaches, but his status in Shilin is there. Although he retired, he still has constant visitors.

"Oh, what a rare visitor! I thought you became the master of the temple and would stay on the mountain to practice from now on and not care about worldly affairs."

Meng Beiliu, who was looking slightly slimmer, said jokingly.

Chen Youniao asked: "Teacher, do you know?"

Meng Beiliu spread his hands: "Now I'm afraid there's no one in the entire county who doesn't know about it."

This was the result of the Chen family sending people to publicize and build momentum for Chen Youniao. The clan had finally found a powerful figure, so of course it had to be well publicized. In addition to building momentum, it also increased the Chen family's influence.

There was nothing to hide in this matter, and Chen Youniao didn't care.

Meng Beiliu asked again: "Do you really have to come and take the provincial examination?"

Even though Master is well-informed, he has never encountered such a thing, and he always feels that it is neither fish nor fowl.

Chen Youniao explained: "My position as the master of the contemplation is not secure, and I have to pass the test. If I fail the test, I have to give up my position and step down. So I decided to come to the imperial examination, a two-pronged approach, and multiple escape routes."

Meng Beiliu curled his lips and didn't believe this statement, but he didn't ask any more questions. It is not a bad thing after all that a proud student is unwilling to give up literature for the sake of spiritual practice. With Chen Youniao's talent, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the literary world and make a big splash.

light.

When we came out of Meng Beiliu's house, it was already dusk, the sky was dark, and people around him lit up lights.

Chen Youniao came alone and returned alone. He walked onto the wide street and suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves. He looked up and saw a big, loose horse charging towards him like crazy.
