Chapter 243 The tower light is on (2)
The eighth floor of the Eight Treasures Pagoda is transparent. There is a door when entering the eighth floor. The key is the same one that opens the pagoda door.
Entering the eighth floor, it suddenly dawns on you that it is the only floor with windows on all sides.
There is a large copper candlestick in the middle. The outside is a thick glass cover with small holes. It is movable and the upper part can be opened.
"Is this the beacon?"
Jin Xincheng nodded.
"How long will it last for more than ten days after being turned on?"
"Well...not only that, the lamp oil in the jar below is specially made of wax..."
Chuxue didn't think too much about it, she was just curious.
"Er Master Jin,...my uncle is gone, and the Jin family will eventually have a new head. How about you being the new head?"
Chuxue said while looking at the light carefully.
Jin Xincheng was dumbfounded again, what...means?
"Head of the Jin family, this matter is of great importance and should not be joked about."
"Am I joking?" Chuxue said, standing up and handing the key to the other party, "The deed is a birthday gift from my mother. I want to take it away. This is for you. As for the clan order, you
I won’t be able to use it for now, I’ll talk about it later when I can use it…”
Jin Xincheng became anxious as he listened, "As you said, with just one key, they can make me the head of this family? Besides, you are the head of this family..."
Chuxue raised her hand to interrupt the other party, "Er Master Jin, have you ever heard of the word "create something out of nothing"?
"ah?"
"You have the key to the Eight Treasures Pagoda in your hand. Only the head of the family has this key. After you light up the lamp later, someone will naturally ask you where the key came from. You just said... the head of the house gave it to you before he died. The rest...
Just wait until things fall into place."
"...This can't happen!"
"Why not? You can't confront it, right? I know it's not that easy to be the head of this family, but it can be planned, isn't it? Mr. Jin only said whether he wanted to or not."
Jin Xincheng looked embarrassed, "This is not a question of whether you want to or not. How can the position of the head of the Jin family be so easy to plan?" Why did he become the head of the family again?
"Didn't Mr. Jin call me the head of the family just now? What if I, the head of the family, ordered you to be the head of the family?"
Chuxue's words sounded a bit rogue.
"..." Jin Xincheng didn't know how to answer the call for a while and was a little confused.
When Jin Xincheng was hesitating, Chu Xue's expression suddenly changed. With a serious look, he picked up the fire stick and lit the lamp. It was instantly bright. It turned out that the surrounding windows and the glazed lamp were carefully calculated and placed. It was obviously just one lamp.
The lamp turned out to be so bright after being turned on.
"Let's go, take the key first. Second Master Jin can think about it for a day. My husband and I will come to worship tomorrow. Then you can give me the answer. As long as Second Master is willing, I will make a plan for you, but it doesn't work.
I will not let some people get what they want. This position as the head of the Jin family... was obtained by my mother at the cost of marrying into the royal family. It was a birthday gift given by my mother to me. I don't have to, but... I won't let someone
Some people ruined it!"
Chuxue said and walked down the tower without looking back.
Jin Xincheng was stunned for a long time, unable to regain his senses. The key in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
she…
Something about the aura she had just now was indeed innate.
How could she have the confidence to say such a thing at such a young age?
Is she here to find the position of head of the Jin family for him?
The old lady has been involved in the Jin family for so many years. Even if she wanted to make someone the head of the family, she would not dare to say such confident words.
"...Eldest brother said in public today in the council hall that whoever can avenge his father and find the person who murdered him will be supported by the second house as the head of the house. Although he is gone now, the people in each house will definitely choose the head of the house.
When I came to talk about it, these can be regarded as the last words of the head of the Jin family before he died!"
The door of the Eight Treasures Pagoda slowly closed. Jin Xincheng looked at the door and suddenly said these words.
He wanted to tell Chu Xue that even if the old lady had already made plans, with these words, it would not be so easy to decide on the new head of the Jin family. Each house has its own thoughts, and I am afraid they will not compromise easily.
Therefore, the position of the head of the Jin family... is not easy. It is not as simple as she thought. She doesn't understand the Jin family.
Home.
"That's it... I'm still saying what I said. I'll wait for your answer tomorrow. The lights of the Eight Treasures Pagoda are on, and someone will be here soon. I shouldn't stay too long, so I'll ask Sister Jinxiu to take me out of the house and say goodbye!"
After Chuxue finished speaking, she was about to leave. Jin Xincheng suddenly stopped her and said, "Let me ask you one more question, why do you want me to be the head of the family?"
Chuxue did not turn around, but said with her back to the other person: "Because... you took the risk and took me to see him for the last time."
This is first, second, because he took the risk to hand the note to her mother, and third, she seems to have no more choices.
Looking at Chuxue walking towards her, and then at the Eight Treasure Pagoda with its lights on, Jinxiu looked shocked.
The Eight Treasures Pagoda...is open?
Was it dad who lit the lamp?
"Take me away quickly, otherwise we will all be in trouble!"
Chuxue's words made Jinxiu wake up from her dream. She took a deep breath, lowered her head and said softly: "Follow me!"
To be cautious, Jinxiu took Chuxue on a small road. Fortunately, the Jin family was so busy that they took advantage of the chaos and got out of the Jin family smoothly.
"Is the light on?"
Jin Xinxu's mourning hall has not been completed yet. At this moment, all the important people of the Jin family gathered in Jin Xinxu's mourning room. When they heard that the Eight Treasures Pagoda was lit up, they all hurried to the yard to see it.
The height of the Eight Treasures Pagoda can be seen no matter where you are in the Jin family. The sky is a little dark at this time, and the bright light is particularly dazzling.
"Eight Treasures Pagoda? Who went in? Who lit the lamp?"
With Xin Gu's support, the old lady raised her head and looked in the direction of the Eight Treasures Pagoda and asked three questions in succession.
Unfortunately, no one present could answer because no one knew what was going on.
"…what happened?"
Who opened the Eight Treasures Pagoda? Over the years, she has been looking for the key to the Eight Treasures Pagoda. She has looked through every place in the yard and the house countless times, but she has never seen the key!
The old lady looked at the light from the top of the Eight Treasures Pagoda, and had a bad feeling in her heart, as if something was out of control.
"The Eight Treasures Pagoda has opened...Old madam, I'm going to see what's going on!"
The old man in the big room was about to leave on crutches, and the people in the other rooms followed suit.
The old lady could only keep up.
Soon someone came and said he was the second master of the second room. Before they had gone far, Jin Xincheng came over.
"Second brother, you opened the tower?"
When Jin Xinpeng saw the person, he couldn't wait to rush up to ask what happened.
Just now, the eldest brother left the second child alone to talk to his daughter. It must be at that time that the eldest brother gave him the key!
The person who lights the lamp is the next head of the family. This is the rule of the Jin family. Only the head of the family can enter the Eight Treasures Pagoda. The eldest brother gave him the key and he went to light the lamp. Doesn't this mean...
No...that's not true!
"Old madam, seniors, my eldest brother handed me the key to the Eight Treasures Pagoda before he died, and asked me to light the lamp after he left. I cannot disobey the elder brother's order, and I dare not disobey the family master's order, so Xin Cheng was ordered to light the lamp.
"
Jin Xincheng said these words very cleverly. He only said that Jin Xinxu gave him the key and asked him to light the lamp, but he did not mention the position of the head of the family.
But the Jin family all know that the key to the Eight Treasures Pagoda can be taken by anyone? So anyone can light the lamp?
The head of the family clearly wants this second brother-in-law to succeed him as the head of the family!
"You...eldest brother gave you the key to the Eight Treasures Pagoda?"
Chapter completed!
