32, hypnosis

The seventh prince smiled bitterly. Cheng Yuanjia's mood was not ordinary, and only a rich person like her could make such a big deal. You should know that the Cheng family is the only one operating the officially recognized silver account. This kind of income alone makes businessmen all over the country jealous, but for the sake of convenience, they still take the initiative to send money to the Cheng family's silver number. The Cheng family's silver number claims that as long as the emperor's life can reach, there is a subcolon of the Cheng family's silver number. With this, other people who are willing to grab a job on this road are not surprised. In those years, the emperor married the woman of the Cheng family and became a concubine, and also wanted to get the support of the Cheng family.

Since Cheng Yuanjia said this, it can be imagined that in less than three days, the surname of Honghulou will be Cheng. Even if there is background support behind this restaurant, there is no way to compare with the powerful Cheng family in the rich world. What's more, this is made by Qinrou Junjun. Even if you don't sell the face of the Cheng family, you have to look at the Empress Dowager and Qian. For the prince's face, otherwise it will annoy the prince and act coquettishly in front of the empress dowager or Prince Qian, which is enough for the people in the backstage to drink a pot.

The wealth of the Cheng family is not imagined by the seventh prince who has never been in contact with finance and Zhou Huan, who is from the hermit martial arts family. The richest person in the Cheng family is not the head of the family or Cheng Yuhang, but Cheng Yuanjia. After all, whether it is the head of the Cheng family or Cheng Yuhang, their property belongs to the family, and their private property is very limited. But Cheng Yuanjia is different. She has a huge inheritance left by her mother, and has an annual income of millions of taels of silver on her land. These are on the surface, and how much Cheng family's industry is secretly controlled by her? Even the head of the Cheng family dares not count it, otherwise she will be so distressed to death. On the surface, Cheng Yuanjia is staying at home, but in fact, she controls many people who have married with her mother, Princess Yiyang. These people are all elites who are loyal to the princess. After more than ten years of development, it is conceivable how much power they can exert. The prince and others only knew that they could get the financial support of the Cheng family by marrying Cheng Yuanjia, but they didn't know that Cheng Yuanjia could kill them with silver.

Although he was curious about Cheng Yuanjia's wealth, the seventh prince still couldn't help testing her on this issue. Zhou Huan only felt that she was very bold, and he felt more angry with himself.

Of course, Cheng Yuanjia's thoughts are clear. Since they don't ask, she will not be stupid enough to confess.

Along the way, all three of them talked about some endless topics. Zhou Huan talked about the extreme scenery of the Sword Soul Valley, which caused Cheng Yuanjia's shaking. Sword Soul Valley is the ecstasy Valley in those years. It is the place where she and Zhou Qianyun fell in love, and it is also the place where the two agreed to live in seclusion together. After Zhou Qianyun died in battle, Cheng Yuanjia was disheartened and gave this fairyland-like place to the Zhou family.

Zhou Huan talked about the Sword Soul Valley, and his expression was full of pride and pride. He said, "The Sword Soul Valley is the most beautiful place in the world and the safest. There is almost no struggle in the valley, so the owners of all generations need to go out of the valley to experience and walk between blood and fire to maintain the door style of the Zhou family."

"Where there are people, there will be a fight for interests. How can your Zhou family not fight for self-interest or status?" The seventh prince is very curious. The Zhou family will never be a small family. They can avoid disputes and are absolutely desirable.

"The Zhou family adheres to two principles. One is to pass on the concubine, collateral or concubine. No matter how excellent it is, it can only become the existence of the auxiliary owner. It can become an elder, but it can never be the head of the family. If there is no person with the ability of the head of the family in the direct line, the elders will form an elder group to co-chair the family affairs. Once the right person appears in the direct line, the power of the family owner will be returned immediately. The second is that any Zhou family, from the time of enlightenment, except for those who go out, can only do their own things after going to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors every day. Every month, they have to go to the ancestral hall to swear to dedicate their lives for the unity of the Zhou family. Day after day, year after year, the unity in their hearts is not something that can be controlled by any force, but to produce If you are born with a heart, you have to pass your own level first. Zhou Huan talked about it. When it came to the ancestors of the Zhou family, a reverence and firm look appeared on his face.

"What's the name of your ancestors of the Zhou family?" Since Cheng Yuanjia left the sword to the Zhou family, she has never been in contact with anyone in the Zhou family before she met Zhou Huan, and she can't help but be curious at this moment.

"The ancestor's name is Qianyun Yilong, which is the most outstanding person in the Zhou family. Now the swordsmanship of the Zhou family is created by him, and the martial arts such as swordsmanship handed down by the Zhou family now is also from his creation. Even the fairy who guards my Zhou family is for his face. Speaking of this, Zhou Huan couldn't help looking at Cheng Yuanjia.

Cheng Yuanjia was stunned and said, "Are you all his descendants?"

"It's true, but it's not completely." Zhou Huan explained: "The ancestor died young and did not get married when he died. Therefore, his brother inherited his son to his ancestors and let him worship him on New Year's Day. Later, this person became the head of the Zhou family and regarded the ancestors as the ancestors of the Zhou family. He also pioneered the two principles of the Zhou family's adherence to the millennium. It is said that he will swear to the spirit of his ancestors every day and dedicate everything to the continuation of the Zhou family.

Cheng Yuanjia remembered the three and a half-year-old children in Zhou Qianyun's spiritual hall. She couldn't help but feel sad. For thousands of years, she had not dared to go back to the Zhou family to have a look. She was afraid that she would be sad, but she did not know that the Zhou family had always worshipped him as an ancestor.

The seventh prince originally wanted to learn from the method of uniting the Zhou family for thousands of years, but this method is completely useless in the royal family. Even if it is copied, it is impossible to avoid fighting for the throne. If it is only passed on to the direct and not to the concubine like the Zhou family, then the throne can only be the prince's, and the other princes don't even think about it.

Only the Zhou family can follow the two principles of the Zhou family. They worship their ancestors every day and swear every month. This strange self-hypnosis method makes the people of the Zhou family brainwashed since childhood. Everything is based on the interests of the family. Of course, it will not destroy the unity of the family by competing for the position of the head of the family.

"Isn't your ancestral hall of the Zhou family very busy? Everyone goes to worship early in the morning. Do they have to line up at the door?" Cheng Yuanjia didn't know that the Zhou family still had this rule. Imagine the grand occasion of hundreds of people lined up to serve incense. I'm afraid that no immortal would be treated like this.

"Yes, the ancestral hall is indeed more popular in the morning." Zhou Huan smiled and said, "But we also have a way to solve it. The direct lineage can go early, and the sideline people can go as late as possible. Everyone has their own fixed time. In this way, it is staggered. In addition, although the Zhou family has multiplied for thousands of years, due to the restrictions of the region of Sword Soul Valley, there are not many gate people living in the valley, only more than 200 people, so it will not be chaotic.

"What about the Zhou family who don't live in the valley?" The seventh prince continued to ask.

"In fact, the children of the Zhou family who live outside the valley do not live far. They are all commoners or collaterals who are estranged from the owners or elders. Generally, villages are built around the Sword Soul Valley. Each family has a shrine at home, and the spiritual position dedicated to the ancestors and the immortality tablet of the fairy are the same every day. Worship." Zhou Huan did not hide it and said, "Because they also have to protect the master's family. Once there is war in the outside world, they will still be allowed to take refuge in the valley, so they will not let them go. The master will send people to supervise their oath every month. As long as they are sincere and loyal to their ancestors, in case of family difficulties, the family will also take care of serving their ancestors.

"Can the people who live outside the valley practice martial arts like the people in the valley?" The seventh prince couldn't help asking when he remembered the strength of the Zhou family's martial arts.

"Of course, as long as the Zhou family's martial arts are surnamed Zhou, and the people who swear to protect the family can learn it, only the swordsmanship of the town clan will teach the previous family owners as the highest swordsmanship. Therefore, the martial arts achievements of the Zhou family are not low, but the people outside the valley are also responsible for production and business to contribute wealth and food to the family, so in the eyes of outsiders, they are no different from ordinary people. In fact, their skills are much higher than yours. Zhou Huan looked at the seventh prince and said, "Generally, children over ten years old can fight alone better than you a month ago. As for you now, 12-year-old children can also do it."

"Am I so bad?" The seventh prince said with a wry smile.

"In fact, your talent is not bad at all. Not only is it not bad, but it is still rare. Unfortunately, you missed the most suitable years to lay the foundation, and no one taught you well, so your martial arts skills are not strong. The people of the Zhou family have been practicing martial arts since childhood. After the enlightenment of children, they not only have to learn the collection of military books, tactics and scriptures, but also start to lay the foundation for the master of martial arts. If they find that they have good talent, they will be particularly cultivated. If there are talented and outstanding talents among the children outside the valley, or those who are indeed strong in martial arts, they will be allowed to return to the valley and receive more advanced teaching. For this reason, the people outside the valley will practice martial arts desperately. If the people in the valley are too talented, they are also in danger of being sent out of the valley to take charge of foreign affairs. In order to stay in the valley, in fact, the people in the valley are more desperate.
