Chapter 242 Listen to Uncle 3 and withdraw from the fight for the throne
"Family dinner? Do we need to help with the cooking and decoration?"
Chen Luo wasn't quite sure whether this kind of big family's family banquet had the same complicated formalities as those of the ancient aristocratic families.
"No, these are the responsibilities of the offspring of the side branches. The offspring of the direct line do not need to do these."
Wen Wan pulled Chen Luo and walked towards the west of the old house. On the way, many descendants of the side branches kept secretly looking at Chen Luo.
Now Chen Luo is a celebrity in the Wen family's old house. After all, the Wen family is not an ordinary family, and bringing a partner home before getting married is somewhat controversial.
But this Chen Luo not only won the favor of the Sixth Miss, but also the recognition of the old man Wen Qingyang. The two of them even got drunk.
Just getting the old man's approval is already very rare.
Looking at the two generations of direct descendants of the Wen family who are still alive, the only ones who can catch the old man's eye are the head of the family Wen Tao and the sixth lady Wen Wan.
Now there is one more Chen Luo, and this signal is too special.
Does this mean that the next generation head of the Wen family will most likely be the Sixth Miss?
No matter what, from the most realistic perspective, there are only benefits and no harm in having a good relationship with the future son-in-law of the Wen family.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
"Hello, Miss Six."
Chen Luo greeted everyone warmly, and would stop to shake hands when he met some of the collateral relatives.
"Hello."
Chen Luo's enthusiasm made these people feel flattered. Logically speaking, someone who was chosen by the old man and Miss Liu should have at least one outstanding talent.
People of this type are usually arrogant and proud, and even very different from ordinary people, but Chen Luo seems to be a little too easy-going.
He doesn’t look like a proud and arrogant person at all. Instead, he is like a big boy next door, making people feel sunny and comfortable.
After Wen Wan and Chen Luo slowly walked away, almost everyone watched them leave.
When the two of them walked to a moon gate on the west side of the house, Wen Wan stopped.
"Bao, you don't have to take care of everyone's feelings. It will be very tiring."
Chen Luo laughed when he heard this.
"No, Wan'er, think about it from another perspective. When you become the head of the family, these people will eventually serve you and me."
“Although these people are not people of extremely high status, they are the capillaries of the Wen family and are the ones who carry out the most specific tasks.”
"Didn't Sima Yi rely on the three thousand warriors developed from the imperial guards during the Gaopingling Incident?"
"These people may be useful at a critical moment in the future."
After hearing these words, Wen Wan sighed.
"Bao, you don't have to plan every moment. You can relax a little."
Chen Luo held Wen Wan's hand tightly, with much greater force than usual.
"Wan'er, I can't bear the pain of losing you, do you understand?"
Wen Wan nodded. Indeed, if she lost the battle for the throne, given Wen Shao's ruthlessness, he would never let her live.
And she also knew that by then Chen Luo would not be able to escape danger.
Even though he could arrange for him to stay in the car in advance, according to Chen Luo's current temperament, he might try his best to fight to the death with Wen Shao.
"Bao, I mean, if, if the time comes."
Rarely, Chen Luo interrupted Wen Wan's words and pointed at the moon gate in front of him with a smile.
"Okay, it's New Year's Day, let's not talk about such heavy topics."
"You haven't told me yet, what do we need to do before the party? Are we here to do something?"
Before I could speak gently, a deep voice came.
"Sixth girl, you are here."
Chen Luo looked forward and saw a middle-aged man walking towards them.
The man was wearing a gray Zhongshan suit. He was tall, had a standard square face, and had some gray hair.
Although there was a smile on his face, there was an indescribable deterrent force between his brows.
It was a kind of pressure from a superior that was even more powerful than that of Wen Tao, the head of the Wen family.
"Uncle San, long time no see. This is my boyfriend, Chen Luo."
It turns out that the first thing to do before the banquet is to pay respects to the elders of the family.
Chen Luo understood what Wen Wan meant and extended his hand enthusiastically to Wen Wan's third uncle Wen Xun.
"Hello, Third Uncle, I'm Chen Luo."
Wen Xun glanced at the hand Chen Luo extended, his eyes full of smiles.
"I heard that you got the old man drunk yesterday. It's rare that the old man is so happy. You are really good at this, young comrade."
"Third uncle, you are too kind. I only know a few tricks to make jokes, which are not worthy of being shown on stage."
"Well, come in and have a cup of tea with me."
Wen Xun led the two forward, and Wen Wan whispered in Chen Luo's ear to introduce this third uncle as they walked.
Wen Xun is the third brother of the current head of the family, Wen Tao.
Although he did not serve as the head of the Wen family, his influence in the Wen family was no less than that of Wen Tao.
Because this third uncle now holds an important position in the central government, as the first deputy of the State Council, it can be said that apart from the nine core bosses in the central government, few people can compare with Wen Xun in terms of real power.
It can be said that Wen Xun has been starting from the grassroots level since he entered the official career, from deputy head of a township to the first deputy of the State Council today. He has experienced countless hardships and the vicissitudes of life.
However, this powerful third uncle seldom interfered in family affairs. He did not allow his own children to live in the old house and also expressly forbade them to participate in the fight for succession to the Wen family.
This attitude was very obvious, that is, he wanted to stay away from the Wen family's right and wrong, and the fight for the throne had nothing to do with the children of his branch.
After listening to these introductions, Chen Luo felt a little confused.
This third uncle, who has been able to climb to this position, is definitely an outstanding person of his generation. However, he is so evasive about the affairs of his own family. There must be a hidden story behind this.
"Come on, sit down."
Uncle San led the two of them to sit at the tea table and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
"Wen Shao and Wen Ning just left and you guys came. Didn't you run into them?"
"No." Wen Wan shook her head.
"Well, Sixth Girl, I've actually been waiting for you to come over. There are some things I feel I must tell you."
Wen Xun glanced at Chen Luo and raised his eyebrows at Wen Wan.
"Uncle San, Chen Luo is my man. What I can listen to, he can listen to too."
"it is good."
Wen Xun responded with an "OK", leaned back slightly, straightened his back, and released a suffocating aura from his whole body.
"Sixth girl, listen to your uncle's advice and withdraw from the fight for the throne."
