……
However, Wang Shouzhe would not reveal this kind of evaluation casually. He had been around in the workplace on Earth, and although he was not very skilled in human relations, he was still passable.
"My uncle's words are serious." Wang Shouzhe said, neither arrogant nor humble, "It depends on fate to get along with others. Auntie treats me as if she were her own child, and we are kind and grateful. I would like to talk about uncle telling a few jokes. Even if you beat me and scold me, Shouzhe won't complain at all."
This is a hidden secret. What it means to Gongsun Qiang is that I respect you because my aunt is good to me. Otherwise, you, Gongsun Qiang, might not be able to earn my respect on your own.
"Yes. My little sister has been smart, virtuous, and kind-hearted since she was a child." Gongsun Qiang nodded and praised Gongsun Hui casually.
Wang Shouzhe was speechless for a while. No wonder the old patriarch Gongsun didn't abdicate even at his old age. The young patriarch really didn't have enough "polishing". No wonder he and his "late father" Wang Dingyue dislike each other.
Gongsun Hui on the side raised his forehead when he heard this, his cheeks were hot and ashamed. My eldest brother is good in all aspects, but his emotional intelligence is lacking due to lack of training. If she is not kind enough, she should exclude the young legitimate son who is not her biological child? Then what kind of immoral and vicious person has she become...
She hurriedly added: "Zhe'er is my legitimate son, and it is my duty to take care of and raise him. By the way, brother, how is my father's health?"
At the same time, Gongsun Hui was filled with emotion. He didn't feel it before, but with Zhe'er's behavior after he ascended to the position of clan leader.
Looking at my eldest brother again, I always feel that the gap is a bit big. Faintly, she began to worry about Gongsun. My brother has been working hard for nothing for thirty-eight years.
"Father is in good health." Gongsun Qiang also knew that he had made a mistake. He laughed twice and then said seriously, "It's just that I have been in a bad mood recently and haven't thought about food or food. I have been thinking about my little sister. No, as soon as I hear that you are going back to your parents' house, Look, immediately urge me to pick you up."
"Auntie, it's windy outside. It's best to get back to the carriage and hurry up." Wang Shouzhe said with his hands in hand, "My grandfather must have been waiting impatiently. I'll ride away with my uncle."
The black horse that Wang Shouzhe rode previously was always being led by his family generals, and now it was put to use.
"Well, then Zhe'er and uncle should have a nice chat." Gongsun Hui winked secretly, and then led Wang Luojing back to the carriage.
Of course Wang Shouzhe understands what Gongsun Hui means. Now that the Wang family is weak, it is basically relying on the intimidation and support of Longyan ancestor. If this can be used to strengthen the relationship with the Gongsun family, it will be very beneficial to the Wang family.
So Wang Shouzhe rode a black horse and walked in front of the team with Gongsun Qiang, chatting with each other. His attitude towards Gongsun Qiang was also based on Gongsun Hui's courtesy, and he would not please Gongsun without any principles or bottom line.
In any world, whether it is in-laws or allies, they are all based on common interests and equal strength. A strong person will not respect you at all because of your groveling and flattering.
On the contrary, Gongsun Qiang looked at Wang Shouzhe and found that this "cheap nephew" was far superior to his peers in terms of conversation and demeanor. Moreover, at such a young age, his cultivation was about to reach the high level of Qi Refining Realm, and his future potential was limitless.
For such a young and handsome man, I searched all over the Shanyang Gongsun family and could not find anyone who could compare with him.
In particular, Gongsun Qiang's own son Gongsun Yan is one year younger than Wang Shouzhe. I think he is pretty good when he looks at him. But when he compared it, Gongsun Qiang suddenly felt a little tight in his chest. He couldn't help but subconsciously get closer to Wang Shouzhe: "Shouzhe, it's rare for you to come to Shanyang. This time, I will stay for a few more days. I will let you Cousin Xiaoyan will accompany you to hunt in the mountains."
"Thank you uncle for your kindness." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said, "It's just that the clan is busy with affairs. Shouzhe is the head of the clan and will leave first after visiting his grandfather."
When Gongsun Qiang heard this, his heart froze and his chest became tighter. Yes, this cheap nephew became the clan leader when he was only eighteen years old. He is already thirty-eight, and he is still just a young patriarch. And until now, the old patriarch has no intention of abdicating his throne.

Gongsun Qiang felt depressed all the way back and didn't say a few words.
The main residence of the Gongsun family in Shanyang was built against Longji Mountain. The terrain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a hard and towering wall and arrow tower outside the main residence, which makes it look very imposing.
This time Wang Shouzhe came with him as the legitimate son of Gongsun Hui, and not as the patriarch to interact with the two families. Therefore, after a simple etiquette interaction, he was invited into the front hall.
In the main hall of the front hall, Gongsun Mo, the current patriarch of the Gongsun family, and his wife Gongsun Chen were sitting at the main throne. They were all dressed in formal attire, showing the importance they attached to Gongsun Hui, Wang Shouzhe and others.
"Unfilial daughter pays homage to father and mother." Gongsun Hui stepped forward to pay homage, tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Hui'er." Mrs. Gongsun Chen stepped forward to help her daughter up and looked up and down excitedly, "This child of yours has not returned to her parents' home for three years. How is she doing well in the Wang family?"
"Mom, the Wang family treats their daughter very well, but they only marry him..." When talking about this matter, Gongsun Hui burst into tears again, feeling quite sad.
"Alas, that stinky boy Dingyue, you really shouldn't have taken such random risks. Can't you just watch over you and live your life?" Mrs. Chen's old face was annoyed and sad, "It's really **** our children. ."
"Okay, you old lady, don't just bury him if you don't understand." Gongsun Mo said solemnly, "We Xuanwu practitioners should be brave enough to make progress. As the leader of the clan, Dingyue must have some problems." The reason why he can't go is just bad luck."
"I don't understand? It's not all your fault, you are such a bad old man." Mrs. Gongsun Chen complained slightly excitedly, "What do you mean, that boy Wang Dingyue has outstanding talents and talents, and will become a spiritual tower in the future, yet he agreed to give his precious daughter to him Continue! You..."
At this point, she seemed to remember that Wang Shouzhe was still present, and immediately stopped talking, showing a kind and kind smile to Wang Shouzhe: "Shouzhe, grandma is just sad that Dingyue passed away, and she is a little emotional. Ah ah , you kid, I haven’t seen you look so handsome in three years, come and show me to grandma."
Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but smile. Now he understood the old saying that a son follows his mother. His uncle Gongsun Qiang's problem of speaking freely was probably due to the old lady Chen.
He would not argue with an old lady, so he immediately stepped forward and cupped her hands and said, "Shouzhe has met my grandmother."
"Yes, yes, this child is really handsome." Gongsun Chen pulled Wang Shouzhe, and the more she looked at him, the happier she became. She couldn't help but asked with concern, "Shouzhe, are you engaged? Our Shanyang Gongsun family's daughter is He is handsome, do you want to..."
Gongsun Hui's face darkened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Mother, Shouzhe is my legitimate son, and he cannot marry Gongsun's legitimate daughter."
Intermarriages between the Xuanwu family generally need to be traced back to the fourth generation and are not the same person. Exceptions can occasionally be made in special circumstances.
Gongsun Hui is Wang Shouzhe's legitimate mother. Although she is not related by blood, according to tradition and rules, she must be included, especially in the case of contemporary intermarriage.
"A legitimate daughter can't do it. How many girls are there in the direct line..."
Before Gongsun Chen finished speaking, Gongsun Mo couldn't help but roar again: "Old woman, you are confused. Shouzhe is the legitimate son of the Wang family and the head of a dignified clan. How can he marry a woman with a straight lineage!"
"You're just confused, old man. Since Gongsun can't find a suitable one, then just marry a girl from the Chen family." Gongsun Chen said, "Our girl from the Chen family in Donggang is also famous for being beautiful and smart. ”
"Mom, the Chen family in Donggang doesn't have a girl suitable for Shouzhe." Gongsun Hui explained helplessly, "On the other hand, Luoyi had been betrothed to the young patriarch of the Chen family a few years ago. She was supposed to get married this year, but it was decided. Yue has just passed away, and he needs to observe mourning for one year before getting married."
"Hey, but my great-nephew Chen Fangjie?" Gongsun Chen suddenly smiled and said, "I've seen that kid Fang Jie. He has a stable personality and is quite talented. Wang's vision is still good. It's just a pity. Zhe... I'll think about it some more..." She is quite senior in the Chen family.
"Mother, please stop thinking about it." Gongsun Hui hurriedly stopped her from messing with the mandarin duck genealogy, "Shouzhe's marriage has been decided, and she is the legitimate daughter of the Liu family of Shanyin."
Sanyin Liu family?
Chen's expression suddenly changed.
