The Rise of the Shen Family

v1 Chapter 324: Family of the patriarch

In the wing room of the backyard, Shen Huanchi sat above the top and listened quietly to Shen Jinghua's uncle and nephew telling him what had happened these days.

   From the time Shen Ruiling went to Qingyun Mountain in exchange for the alchemy furnace, and then to Shen Hong's return to the family, and the opening of the store later, Shen Jinghua's uncle and nephew both gave the original explanation.

  ……

   After listening to the words of Shen Jinghua's uncle and nephew, Shen Huanchi seemed to be a little curious and said:

   "How is the situation in this shop now?"

   "It has just been opened for two days, this is the account book for these two days, please take a look at the patriarch!"

   After speaking, Shen Ruiling handed over the ledger on the table.

   Taking the account book handed by Shen Ruiling, Shen Huanchi began to look through it, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.

   "You are doing very well. The family store opened in Shanghai, and the income of the day was not even half of yours!"

   Facing Shen Huanchi's praise, Shen Jinghua and Shen Ruiling couldn't help but smile at each other, and then a faint smile appeared on their faces.

   On the other side, Shen Huanchi said solemnly again after being silent for a while:

   "Since you have decided to do it, let's run this shop well. It can also serve as a family base in Pingju, and the family will fully support you!"

   "Understood, Patriarch!"

   Shen Ruiling and Shen Jinghua immediately agreed.

   "In some time, I will transfer some people from the family to take over the shops here. Then you won't have to work so hard!"

   "Thank you patriarch!"

  ……

   In this way, after briefly chatting a few things about the shop, Shen Huanchi's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice:

   "Jinghua, where is the clan member who was taken into the family by you before?"

   "You have already met the patriarch, the man at the counter just now!"

"It's him?"

   Hearing this, Shen Huanchi nodded involuntarily, as if he was thinking back to seeing Shen Hong just now.

   Here, Shen Jinghua also began to briefly talk to Shen Huanchi about the agreement between him and Shen Hong.

   "According to the agreement between me and him, when he returns to the family, he will also transfer this shop to the family name, and then the family needs to give him a good deed, which is regarded as the cost of his shop!"

   "Of course, the most important one is that I promise him that the family and I will do our best to support him in building a foundation!"

   After hearing what Shen Jinghua said, Shen Huanchi fell into silence, and then slowly said:

   "Just do what you said!"

   Shen Ruiling hesitated and asked after seeing Shen Huanchi's picture which seemed to be reminiscing:

   "Clan chief, what is the relationship between you and the Huan generation clan who was sent into the sect by the family back then?"

   Facing Shen Ruiling's inquiry, Shen Huanchi glanced at him involuntarily, and said in a low voice:

   "He is my cousin!"

   After hearing this, Shen Ruiling and Shen Jinghua couldn't help but start to think of something.

   The patriarch is of mortal origin. His parents are all mortals without spiritual roots. The previous generations were also mortals without spiritual roots. Only in his generation did the patriarch appear as a monk with spiritual roots!

   And the patriarch has been practicing Taoism for more than 140 years. The parents who gave birth to him have already entered the soil, and even some of the relatives who knew him well have left early.

   After more than one hundred and forty years, it may not be a big deal for a foundation-building monk, but for a mortal, that is already a lifetime!

   Since the patriarch’s parents passed away, the patriarch has never returned to the secular world, but devoted his body and mind to the development of the family.

   So even though the patriarch is more than one hundred and forty years old, he has never married a partner, let alone left a son and a half daughter!

   Now on Yunbi Peak, the ones who are really familiar with the patriarch are that they still have the elders of the Huan character generation.

   But now it is different. This suddenly appeared Shen Hong should be the grand-nephew of the patriarch by generation. Although the blood relationship between the two is not too close, how can he be regarded as the closest person to the patriarch in this world!

   So even with the current state of mind of the patriarch, after knowing the existence of Shen Hong, there was a ripple in my heart!

  ……

After a while in the wing room, Shen Huanchi spoke again:

   "Sell him to see me!"

"good!"

   Shen Jinghua nodded slightly, and then he shot a spirit decision and flew towards the shop in front.

   A moment later, Shen Hong appeared in front of Shen Huanchi, and respectfully saluted Shen Huanchi:

   "Meet the patriarch!"

   At this time, Shen Huanchi, who was sitting in the first place, cast all his eyes on him and began to look carefully.

   After a while, Shen Huanchi slowly said:

   "Shen Huanbang is your grandfather?"

   "Return to the patriarch, exactly!"

   Facing Shen Huanchi's inquiry, Shen Hong responded quickly.

   "Is your father still alive?"

   "My father passed away more than ten years ago!"

   Although I don't know why Shen Huanchi asked this, he still answered honestly.

   After hearing this, Shen Huanchi couldn't help being silent, and it took a long time before he spoke again:

   "Since you have returned to the family, you should be ranked according to your grandfather's generation, you should be ranked in the Swiss generation. From now on you will be called Shen Ruihong, you are willing!"

"willing!"

   Shen Hong accepted it immediately without much thought.

   If he said that before this, he might still have a bit of a response to being included in the family.

   But after seeing Shen Jinghua's contacts and the strength displayed by his family, he has no other ideas.

   He was born as a disciple of the outer sect, and he knows how fierce the struggle within the sect is ~ lightnovelpub.net~ It is generally difficult to get ahead without the support of the elders.

   And he was able to achieve his current achievements, but also relying on the support of his deceased father-in-law, but now his father-in-law has fallen.

   Therefore, if he wants to go further, he has to find a backer again, and now the Shen family is undoubtedly the best choice!

   Obviously, Shen Huanchi was still very satisfied with Shen Hong's answer, a smile on his face could not help, and he said with a smile:

   "Well, find a time for you to return to the family, and while paying homage to the ancestors, you should also leave your name on the genealogy!"

   "Ruihong understands!"

   Shen Ruihong immediately agreed.

   "As for the shop you handed over to the family, the family won't want it in vain. I will give you five thousand family good deeds to exchange for the cultivation materials in the family clan library!" Shen Huanchi continued.

   Hearing these words, Shen Ruihong couldn't help but stunned, then he glanced at Shen Jinghua and said hesitantly:

   "Patriarch, I don't want this charity, can I let Liu Shu transfer me a sum of charity from the sect, even if it is less, there is no problem!"

   Hearing this, Shen Huanchi looked at Shen Jinghua, as if he was ready to let him come back.

   Shen Jinghua thought for a while, then slowly said:

   "How many sect good deeds do you have now?"

   "More than three thousand times..." Shen Ruihong said with a wry expression.
