Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

"Girl, please sit down quickly! Don't move around."

The second elder's gaze fell on his arm that was supported by Wen Shu.

However, the Second Elder gently extended his other hand and removed Wen Shu's hand from her arm. His movements were gentle yet firm, and with a faint smile in his eyes, he softly said to Wen Shu:

"My child, this is our family's rule and it cannot be abolished."

Wen Shu bit her lip slightly after hearing this, but she knew that the Second Elder was stubborn and would be hard to change once he made a decision.

In the end, he chose to obey, gently loosened his hands, slowly sat back to his original position, and quietly watched the second elder begin to perform the complete clan ceremony.

Following the actions of the Second Elder, the entire scene became exceptionally solemn and dignified.

After the ceremony was over, Wen Shu stood up almost instantly, walked quickly to the second elder, reached out to support him steadily, and carefully escorted him back to his original seat.

At this moment, the noisy and boisterous voices of the people present suddenly stopped from the moment the second elder stood up and saluted.

Even the Sixth Elder, who was usually the most boisterous and casual, put away his playful expression and looked solemn and serious.

Although Wen Shu felt somewhat puzzled by this situation, she vaguely guessed something - the Second Elder's action probably meant that he was about to give up his power and hand over family affairs to others.

Thinking of this, Wen Shu couldn't help but sigh secretly. She felt both gratitude and admiration for the Second Elder's hard work over the years. She knew that what was meant to come would eventually come.

really--

The next moment, the second elder who had just passed by spoke in a clear and loud voice, "Everyone here, ever since I, Du Su'an, took over from Su Shui, I have lived in fear all my life, afraid of making a mistake, deeply afraid that one wrong step would lead my people into the abyss and bring about the destruction of the entire clan."

"Suzhi, these years, the younger generation didn't know anything. They only knew the power you held and your prestige in the clan. They knew that we elders respected you, but they knew the facts but not the reasons.

"We have seen all the hard work you have put in over the years, all the dedication you have put into the Du family and the clan," the elder said with a long sigh.

"You have worked hard over the years."

"That's right, second brother. If it weren't for you keeping watch over the Du family, if it weren't for you protecting my family, I wouldn't have the heart to do business outside." Du Suzhi said embarrassedly, although he usually didn't like what his second brother said.

He was often verbally pressured when they went out, but he was not an ungrateful person. If he did not know that he was a troublemaker and unwilling to suffer any loss, he would not be willing to waste his breath on him.

Besides, he looked at Du Su'an with a guilty conscience. Although everyone present didn't know it, he and Du Su'an knew very well that the capital for his fortune was still taken by Du Suzhi.

I remember that Du Suzhi handed the money to him and said, "If you don't have the ability, you can go out and squander it all this time. Just come back with your life.

If he really has this talent, when he makes money in the future, the profits will be split 50-50. Of course, he will keep 50% for himself, and the other 50% will not be given to Du Suan, but will be used to supplement the tribe."

……

When Du Suzhi talked about business, Du Suan glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.

He happened to be bumped into by Du Suzhi, and he shrank his shoulders, and his momentum instantly dropped.

Du Suan was not affected by what everyone said and continued, "I believe that after what happened yesterday, everyone has a new understanding of the ability of the clan leader and her decisiveness."

"Yes, the patriarch really has the shadow of the previous patriarch."

"right……"

"As expected of a promising junior like Suzhi."

Everyone agreed.

Wenshu didn't want to be treated so highly by everyone, and she didn't know if it was because of her second uncle's behavior, but she felt a little sad.

"My dear elders, Wenshu hasn't done enough. It's not the achievements of Wenshu in just a few days that have come over the years. If it weren't for Second Uncle's careful planning and dispatching of troops, how could we have eliminated this disaster so quickly?"

……

"Chief, don't underestimate yourself."

"yes"

The second elder spoke again, "You are right. After experiencing life and death danger this time, why should I be worried?

If you hadn't braved the night to retreat and subdue the villains, thus saving the Du family from a disaster, what would I, Du Suan, have to worry about?"

After saying that, Du Suan spread out his palm, in which lay a clan seal. Chief, please take the seal.

When everyone saw what Du Suan was holding, they all looked surprised.

After hearing Du Suan's last words, "Chief, please accept the seal"

Everyone present responded, "Chief, please take the seal."

"Please ask the clan leader to take the seal."

"Chief, please accept the seal."

.........

A deep and powerful voice floated in the small room.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the clan seal held by the second elder. Although Wen Shu didn't know what it was, she could feel that this seal was unusual.

"Clan leader, please take the seal." Second uncle's words brought Wenshu back to her senses.

As soon as these words came out, Wen Shu looked around, and all the elders present were looking at her.

Wen Shu could clearly hear the powerful beating of her chest. As soon as she stretched out her hand, the clan seal was quickly placed in her hand by the second elder.

The second elder looked as if he had completed an important task, and his eyes relaxed.

He did not forget to instruct, "Chief, Shu girl, the future direction of the tribe and the protection of the tribe members, this heavy responsibility is entrusted to you.

As for me, I am old and can no longer work. I have been looking forward to Su Shui's return for many years. I have been cautious and prudent in these years, for fear of disappointing Su Shui.

My child, I have completed my mission over the years. Although I have not achieved anything, I have not made any mistakes either."

After saying that, he turned around and sat back in his seat.

Wen Shu looked at the clan seal in her hand. It was almost the same as the one she had used when she returned to the clan last time. However, although the word "Du" was engraved on the front of this seal, the word "Ge" was engraved on the back.

Before she set out, her grandmother told her that the two clan seals of the clan leader had to be combined into one, only then would she be truly recognized as the clan leader.

With this complete clan seal, not only do all clan members have to obey her orders, but all tribes within the clan are under her command.
