Chapter 150 Family Emergency Meeting

Ye Tian stared, thinking that this kid is really cheap.

But at the same time, Nangong Feiyan's frosty face clearly showed a hint of sadness.

Standing up gently, Nangong Feiyan walked out of the hall slowly with delicate steps.

Ye Tian looked at Nangong Feiyan's back, and speaking from his heart, Ye Tian's heart was moved by that delicate face that could be called a work of art.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Tian muttered in a low voice: "She won't be really taken in by that Murong Qi."

Ye Rong approached Ye Tian's ear maliciously: "In my opinion, if you don't care, she might really be taken in by Murong Qi."

Turning his head, staring at Ye Rong, Ye Tian took a breath and said, "I'm in charge of the Royal Household Department. This kind of matter should be handled by the Ministry of Punishment."

"Do you think that if Murong Qi succeeds in being promoted and becomes a junior magister, will the Ministry of Justice still be able to control him?" Ye Rong asked.

Ye Tian continued to stare: "That's not my business."

Ye Rong shrugged: "Okay then, let Murong Qi take her in."

Ye Tianqiang braced himself and said, "Just take it, it's none of my business anyway."

At night, the Nangong family held an emergency family meeting.The focus of the debate at the meeting was still on the conflict between the Nangong family and the Murong family.

Nangong Feiyan sat firmly on a large chair in the middle, with a calm expression.Beside her, the principals of several major industries of the Nangong family were sitting on the seats on both sides.

At this time, a middle-aged man in the first seat on the left, who is also the largest dyeing workshop in the capital, Nangong Lengmo, the head of Caiyixuan, first said: "On the seventh day of last month, the Murong family talked about Dongwu, Xixi, etc. There are a total of 76 textile shops in Wenliang Street, and they gave us a discount of 76%, so that these [-] textile shops ended their cooperation with Caiyixuan, and instead cooperated with Lan Yizhai, a subsidiary of the Murong Family. "

After a pause, Nangong Lengmo took a sip of tea, stretched out three fingers, and continued: "By the seventh day of this month, the profit of my Caiyixuan has dropped by [-]%." Having said this, Nangong Lengmo sighed With a sigh of relief, he said helplessly: "I have used the tricks that should be used, the tricks that should be used, the faces that should be pulled, and the hands that should be moved, but the result is, Thirty staff members under my command are lying on the bed now. People from the doctor's shop and pharmacy have all seen them, and they all say that they won't be able to get out of bed for a month. There is no way out, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs ignores us, the Murong family robbed our money and hurt our people, they are still at ease, we should make money, we should open branches, we can only watch helplessly, there is nothing we can do No."

After Nangong Lengmo finished speaking, the hall immediately fell silent.Recently, the Nangong family has been severely suppressed by the Murong family. This is a fact that everyone knows.In the past two months, the income and profit of various industries under Nangong Family have declined to varying degrees.If this trend continues, it is no exaggeration to say that in less than a year, the Nangong Family will no longer have to hang out in the capital, and they will be disbanded as soon as possible.

After a while of silence, people on both sides began to discuss in low voices, and various tendentious opinions gradually came out.

The key issue now is that the Murong family has already submitted a formal letter to the Nangong family to request marriage.Now that the two families are fighting so hard, and several major industries have intersected, it is conceivable that in the next few years, or even decades, if the two families can continue to exist, they will inevitably continue to compete fiercely.And the Murong family has a deep background in the imperial court, so they naturally have an absolute advantage in the competition.

However, if Nangong Feiyan marries Murong Qi, the two families will join forces, and their industries will be reorganized and merged to form a larger joint family.This will be a win-win situation no matter from the perspective of power expansion or from the perspective of industrial profitability.Moreover, once this united family is formed, it is likely to surpass the strength of the Ouyang family and become the largest family in the capital in one fell swoop.

Therefore, among the principals of the major industries of the Nangong Family, two factions with diametrically opposite opinions have formed.One faction advocated accepting the Murong family's request for marriage, and united with the Murong family to jointly fight against the aggressive Ouyang family.On the other hand, the other faction sneered at Murong Qi's character and conduct, and firmly respected Nangong Feiyan's personal wishes. If Nangong Feiyan was willing to marry, then that's fine; The Murong family fought to the end.

At this time, an old man next to Nangong Lengmo was also a shop in the capital that specialized in making high-end ready-to-wear. Watching you grow up, from the bottom of my heart, I never want to let you suffer. However, the Nangong family is now at the point of life and death, Feiyan, as the head of the Nangong family, you should let go of your personal likes and dislikes at this time The overall situation is the most important thing, and for the family's prospects and development, I should make my own contribution."

Hearing Nangong Xi's words, Nangong Feiyan stared straight ahead, and said indifferently: "So, what Uncle Xi means is that he agrees to marry me to Murong Qi?"

Nangong Xi didn't expect Nangong Feiyan to shatter his thoughts all of a sudden, the old man blushed, and said slowly: "Feiyan, if our old bones can help the family overcome this difficulty and regain their glory in the capital, Even if it took our lives, we didn't say a word, and the other party is the only son of the second largest family in the capital. Some sarcastic remarks, now that the Murong family is begging to come to your door, in the eyes of us old bones, if you, Feiyan, marry a man like Murong Qi, it will be considered pretty good."

Nangong Feiyan was expressionless, but said softly: "Do you understand Murong Qi's behavior?"

Nan Gongxi frowned, and thought to herself: Murong Qi was born with a dignified appearance, if he had a good conduct and a virtuous person, I'm afraid you would have married long ago, so you still need to hesitate.It is precisely because of that guy's many bad deeds that you need to let go of your personal prejudices, put the family's overall interests first, and sacrifice your own wishes.

But soon, an old man named Nangong Wu, who was sitting in the first seat on the other side, stared at Nangongxi who was facing him, and said, "Nangongxi, since the Murong family has already asked for the marriage, then we can get married." It mainly depends on Feiyan's wishes. If Feiyan likes Murong Qi, she can naturally consider it. If Feiyan doesn't like him, I am an old bone, and I just don't want Feiyan to be wronged. It's your love and I'm willing, it's about two hearts, look at the stinky things that Murong Qi did, everyone in the capital knows it. I'm afraid that Feiyan will marry into his Murong's family After the child, Murong Qi spent a few days fresh, and soon he didn't know whose girl he was eyeing again. It's better to ignore Feiyan when the time comes, maybe he will deprive Feiyan of his official wife's status, Turning Feiyan into a concubine, I have seen this kind of thing much more."

After a pause, Nangong Wu continued to stare, and said, "I'm going to put my words here today. No one can force Feiyan. If anyone forces Feiyan, he will force me. I will never end with him."

Nangong Wu is a relatively authoritative elder in the family, and even Nangong Xi usually has to sell his face.As soon as Nangong Wu finished speaking, none of the people who advocated marriage dared to speak up for the time being, and everyone fell into silence again.

Nangong Xi raised her eyelids, looked left and right, then cleared her throat, and said, "In this case, whether it's a marriage or a fight to the death, there must be a conclusion. In my opinion, the fairest way is to have a family vote. "

Hearing Nangong Xi's words, Nangong Wu on the opposite side snorted, but did not object.

Family voting is a common method adopted by the major families in the capital when they face major family decisions but do not have a unified opinion.

As long as the person is above the status of the principal of the family property, one person, one vote, write his opinion on the ticket and put it in the ballot box.

Afterwards, after summary statistics, the opinion with the most votes will be the final decision of the family.

The biggest advantage of this method is fairness and fairness, so that various opinions and suggestions in the family meeting will be debated endlessly, and finally the number of people and votes will determine which opinions and measures to take.

At this time, after a brief consideration, the principals sitting in two rows nodded one after another, expressing their approval to use family voting to decide whether to marry the Murong family.

Nangong Feiyan still stared straight ahead, expressionless, and said calmly: "Since the uncles have already decided on the family vote, let's vote."

After finishing speaking, Nangong Feiyan stood up and walked slowly towards the back hall.

After Nangong Feiyan left, other people also stood up and left the main hall one after another.Only Nangong Wu was still sitting on the chair, looking at Nangong Yan who was walking towards the back hall with concern.

Nangong Wu grew up watching Nangong Feiyan grow up, and has always loved and cared for her. At this time, Nangong Wu could clearly see that there was a hint of sadness in Nangong Feiyan's calm eyes.

Frowning, Nangong Wu showed a gloomy look on his old face.In all honesty, there is nothing unreasonable about Nangongxi's proposal of family voting. On the contrary, the way of family voting reflects fairness and justice.But Nangong Wu is also very clear that the result of the family vote is likely to have more votes in favor of marriage.

Looking up, Nangong Wu looked at the ceiling above his head and murmured, "Is there really no other way? Is it really necessary to sacrifice Feiyan's life's happiness?"
