Chapter 449: Special Circumstances
The second elder is a resolute person who doesn't like to procrastinate, and besides, this matter is related to the safety of his granddaughter's life, so he should pay more attention to it.
So at that moment, the second elder was going to go to the third elder and the fourth elder to discuss the matter of revising the clan rules, but at this moment, footsteps sounded outside the classroom, and then two figures entered the guest hall, it was none other than the third elder and the fourth elder.
"Oh, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, I was about to look for you, and you are here, please sit down, please sit down. β
The second elder was very happy, warmly beckoned the third elder and the fourth elder to sit down, and then instructed Hai Ting, "Ting'er, hurry, make tea for the third elder and the fourth elder." β
"Yes. β
Hai Ting nodded, and there was also a happy look on her exquisite and flawless little face, because she guessed that the third elder and the fourth elder must have come here for the sake of their granddaughter, and wanted to persuade her grandfather to agree to them marrying their granddaughter to Zhang Cheng.
Hai Ting made a pot of tea, brought it over and put it on the coffee table, these elders talked about things, and it was naturally inconvenient for her junior to stand here and listen, so she took the initiative to withdraw from the guest hall, but Hai Ting did not leave, but stood by the wall outside the guest hall, listening to their conversation quietly.
"The second elder is well. β
The Third Elder and the Fourth Elder were very polite and rushed to Zhang Cheng with a fist salute, and asked curiously, "Fang Cai, you said you were going to find us, I don't know why?"
"That's the case, the granddaughter of my family, wants to marry Zhang Cheng, but Zhang Cheng has chosen to marry Haihui, the granddaughter of the great elder this year, originally, my granddaughter failed to marry Zhang Cheng this year, and it doesn't hurt to marry him in the next two years, but my granddaughter is twenty-one years old this year, if two years after tomorrow, in case Zhang Cheng chooses to marry another girl, then my granddaughter, my granddaughter will have to exceed the age limit, then, according to the regulations, the elder group of the clan must force her to marry the young man of the ancestor, but the granddaughter of my family said that if Zhang Cheng does not marry, if she is really forced to marry, I am worried that something will happenγ β
And Zhang Cheng frowned, and said with a solemn face, "So, I was going to go to you and tell you that we should revise the family rules and marry my granddaughter to Zhang Cheng with Haihui this year." β
When the third elder and the fourth elder heard this, they glanced at each other, and then the two of them also showed a solemn look on their faces, and said, "Second elder, I can't hide it, we are here precisely because of this incident, because the granddaughters of the two of us, Hai Mei and Hai Fang, those two children, are also twenty-one years old this year, and their two children are also bent on marrying Zhang Cheng, in case Zhang Cheng does not marry them this year and next year, and forces them to marry the young people in the clan, then they will not be able to find a short-term vision, then ...... To be honest, we're very worried about this happening. β
Hearing this, the second elder was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was clear, "I understand, you also want to marry your granddaughter to Zhang Cheng together this year, and the purpose of coming here to find me is to persuade me to agree with your decision." β
"Yes, that's what we're here for. β
The Third Elder and the Fourth Elder nodded their heads one after another.
Hai Ting, who was standing by the wall at the door, couldn't help laughing, as expected, the third elder and the fourth elder also came around their granddaughter.
And at this moment, the second elder, hearing the words of the third elder and the fourth elder, how could he disagree, he was going to tell the third elder and the fourth elder about this, and at this moment, the third elder and the fourth elder expressed their intentions, which was exactly what he wanted.
"Agree to agree, of course I agree 100%, when the time comes, the granddaughters of the three of us, Haiting, Haimei, Haifang, and the three children, will marry Zhang Cheng together. The second elder hurriedly said.
"Okay, when the time comes, marry the granddaughter of the three of us to Zhang Cheng with Haihui's girl. β
The third elder and the fourth elder were naturally very happy, but then they frowned slightly and said, "According to the ancestral teachings, if you want to modify the ancestral rules, it is not enough for the three of us to agree, there are eight elders in the clan, at least two-thirds, that is, at least five elders must agree, so we can marry our granddaughter to Zhang Cheng, so we have to convince the other elders......"
"Well, let's go and convince the Sixth Elder first, he is my cousin, and he usually has a relatively strong relationship with me, I will go and talk to him, and he will agree to it. β
The second elder said.
"Okay, let's go together, first go and convince the Sixth Elder, and then go and talk to the Eighth Elder, because the Eighth Elder usually has a good relationship with me, and when the time comes, I think we should be able to convince him. β
The four elders chimed in.
"Okay, as long as we can convince the six elders and the eighth elders, plus the three of us, it will be enough to meet the one-third of the number of elders stipulated in the group training, and at that time, we can revise the family rules and marry the granddaughter of the three of us to Zhang Cheng. β
The third elder happily answered.
"Let's go, let's find the Sixth Elder. β
The second elder greeted him, and then the three of them came out of the house.
"Grandpa, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, you must convince the Sixth Elder and the Eighth Elder when the time comes. β
Hai Ting, who was at the door, said expectantly.
"Girl, don't worry, when the time comes, we will definitely be able to convince the Sixth Elder and the Eighth Elder. β
The second elder smiled kindly.
"Yes, nephew Xian, although you can rest assured, when the time comes, we will definitely be able to convince the Sixth Elder and the Eighth Elder. β
The three elders echoed.
"Well, coercion and temptation, both soft and hard, in short, virtuous nephew, you can rest assured, we will be able to convince the Sixth Elder and the Eighth Elder. β
The four elders also said with a smile.
The three of them left the courtyard after speaking.
Haiting stood in the courtyard, looking forward to it more and more, and she also believed that her grandfather, the third elder, and the fourth elder would definitely be able to convince the sixth elder and the eighth elder if they went together, that is, when the time came, she would definitely be able to marry Zhang Cheng.
Thinking of this, Haiting couldn't help but feel excited.
......
And at the moment.
In Ling Tianli's boudoir.
Two pretty figures were sitting there.
"Sister Li, do you also want to marry Zhang Cheng?"
Princess Aquamarine raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I ......"
Ling Tianli opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he was silent again.
"Hehe, it's a default, isn't it? β
Princess Hailan laughed and said, "I know that you really want to marry Zhang Cheng, so let's go talk to my father and ask him to call the members of the elder group over and hold a meeting, so that the elder group agrees that you and Haihui will marry Zhang Cheng together." β
"It's not that all the men of your Seagod Tribe, including Keqing, can only marry once a year, and can only marry one person at a time, we Haihui will marry Zhang Cheng together, this is okay?" Ling Tianli raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, according to the regulations, you can only marry a wife once a year, and you can only marry one person at a time, and Keqing is no exception, but, however, there are exceptions to everything, like yours, it is a special situation, after all, you are not a member of our Poseidon tribe, so ask my father to talk to the elders, if nothing else, it should be okay, they will agree to you and Haihui marrying Zhang Cheng together." β
Princess Aquamarine said.
"Really, Hailan girl, can the elder group really allow me to marry Zhang Cheng with Haihui?"
Ling Tianli hurriedly asked.
"It should be possible, of course, I can't give you an exact answer to this kind of thing, I can only say that I will try my best to ask my father to persuade the elder group to agree to you and Haihui marrying Zhang Cheng together. β
Princess La Mer replied.
"Well, then you go and talk to your father, and ask him to go and tell the elder group that I want to marry Zhang Cheng with you Haihui, and ask him to ask the elder group to agree to my marriage to Zhang Cheng. β
Ling Tianli said.
"Well, I'll go and tell my father, Sister Li, you wait for my good news here. β
Princess Hailan nodded, and then walked out of Ling Tianli's room.
A moment later.
In the house where the patriarch lived.
"Dad, I have something very important for you. β
As soon as Princess Hailan entered the mansion, she spoke.
"Oh, what's important?"
Hai Xiangtian raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Ling Tianli wants to marry Zhang Cheng. β
Princess Aquamarine said.
"What, she wants to marry Zhang Cheng?"
Hai Xiangtian was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head, "This is not good, according to the clan rules, each man can only marry one wife a year, although Zhang Cheng is a guest, but it is no exception, he has already chosen to marry Haihui, then he can no longer marry Ling Tianli." β
"That's right, the clan rules are like this, each man can only marry one woman a year, and the woman referred to here is the woman in the clan, but don't forget, Ling Tianli is actually not from our Seagod tribe, so she wants to marry Ling Tianli with Haihui, this kind of thing does not conflict with the clan rules. β
Princess Aquamarine said.
Hearing this, Hai Xiangtian was stunned again, the girl was right, the ancestral rules stipulate that you can only marry one wife, which specifically means that you can only marry one woman in the clan, and Ling Tianli, although she has lived here for two years, the entire Poseidon tribe has already regarded Ling Tianli as her own clan, but, in fact, Ling Tianli is not a member of the Poseidon tribe, so if Ling Tianli wants to marry Zhang Cheng with Haihui, it is indeed not in conflict with the ancestral rules.
However, on the other hand, although Zhang Cheng is a guest, he must also follow the clan rules and cannot marry two women at the same time.
In other words, although Ling Tianli is not bound by the obstruction rules and can marry Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng is bound by the clan rules and cannot marry Ling Tianli as his wife.
"Girl, Ling Tianli wants to marry Zhang Cheng, to be honest, his father also wants to fulfill her and let her marry Zhang Cheng, but Zhang Cheng can't marry her, this is against the clan rules. β
Hai Xiangtian said.
"Hey, there is an exception to everything, special circumstances, special treatment, Zhang Cheng is a guest, and Ling Tianli is also a guest who temporarily lives in our Seagod Tribe, both of them are in special circumstances, so you go and talk to the elder group, and ask them to allow Zhang Cheng to marry Haihui and Ling Tianli at the same time. β
Princess Aquamarine said.
"Is this okay?"
Hai Xiangtian was noncommittal for a while.
"Why not, of course this will work. β
Princess Hailan said, "You are the patriarch, if you go and tell them about this, they will definitely give you face, and as the patriarch, according to the clan rules, you also enjoy a privilege, that is, in special times and special moments, you deliberately bypass the elder group to implement a certain decision." At that time, if the elder group really does not agree, then you can use this 'circumvention right' to bypass the elder group and directly approve Zhang Cheng to marry two wives." β
Hearing this, Hai Xiangtian couldn't help but take a breath, there is a rule in the ancestral teachings, in some special circumstances and special moments, the patriarch can indeed bypass the elder group, and the elder group implements a certain decision.
Of course, this power cannot be exercised at any time, and it can only be exercised once a year.
This power is very sacred, and no patriarch will exercise it unless it is a very important matter.
Retrospectively, it was the patriarch who was appointed hundreds of years ago, and he used this 'right of detour', Hai Xiangtian took over as the patriarch, and now he has been more than a Jiazi, and he has never used this power, and now, his daughter actually asked him to exercise this power, just to match the marriage of Ling Tianli and Zhang Cheng, is this necessary?
"It's necessary, it's very necessary. β
Princess Hailan seemed to have guessed through Ling Tianli's entanglement, and said, "Zhang Cheng is a super demon, and Ling Tianli is also a super demon, Zhang Cheng wants to marry Ling Tianli as his wife, and Ling Tianli also wants to marry Zhang Cheng, if they can fulfill their good deeds, they will definitely be grateful to you and our entire Seagod tribe in their hearts, and in the future, they will definitely have great benefits to you, father, and our entire Seagod tribe." β
Hearing this, Hai Xiangtian was stunned, and then nodded in agreement, what his daughter said was right, Zhang Cheng and Ling Tianli are both super demons, if they fulfill their good deeds, they will definitely be grateful, and in the future, they will definitely have great benefits to himself and the entire Seagod Tribe.
In addition, as far as Hai Xiangtian's personal relationship with Zhang Cheng is concerned, he and Zhang Cheng are friends, and naturally they hope to be able to fulfill their friends, so it is necessary for him to do this in public and private, and in terms of emotional morality, to fulfill the good things of Zhang Cheng and Ling Tianli.
"Oh yes, are you sure that Zhang Cheng is willing to marry Hai Hui and Ling Tianli at the same time?"
Hai Xiangtian raised his eyebrows and asked.
"How can you not be willing? As a man, doesn't Zhang Cheng want to have three wives and four concubines, he chose Hai Hui in public before, and he must marry Hai Hui, if the elders in the tribe, or you exercise the right to circumvent, agree to him marrying Hai Hui and Ling Tianli as his wife, he will definitely be happy, he will definitely be grateful, how can there be no reason not to agree. β
Princess Aquamarine said.
"Yes, yes, I was too worried, he would definitely be very happy to marry Hai Hui and Ling Tianli to him at the same time. β
Hai Xiangtian nodded with a smile and said, "I'll call the elders of the elder group over first, and tell them to marry Ling Tianli and Haihui to Zhang Cheng together, it's best if they agree, if they don't agree, I'm using the right to bypass and directly marry Ling Tianli and Haihui to Zhang Cheng together." β
"Hmm. βγ
Princess Hailan nodded, agreeing with her father's decision, and now calling the elder group to ask about the situation, if the elder group agrees, it will be great, if you don't agree, then you are driving the 'detour right'.
At that moment, Hai Xiangtian ordered a servant to call the elders over.
