"Our Qi family was originally a poor farmer family, thanks to the grace of our ancestors, and our uncles and grandfathers and other predecessors, and several generations of hard work have created a huge family ......business."

Qi Lingtao, the patriarch of the Qi clan, sat on the right side of the main hall, and with a serious face, he told the Qi family's hardships and family history, "Now my Qi family's descendants are flourishing and the family business is prosperous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The eldest princess sat on the chair on the left, her eyes slightly closed, and a string of prayer beads in her hand, slowly twisting.

There are two official hat chairs under the hall, Qi Lingxian is sitting on the first place on the left, the county lord of Qinghe is sitting beside him, Qi Minzhi and Qi Hengzhi did not follow because they are still young, and Xi Qi only came to Qi Lingxian and his wife.

There were more people in Dongqi, Qi Lingyuan, Qi Qinzhi, Qi Mianzhi, Yao Xiruo, Qi Liangzhi and other five or six people in a family, and the chairs on the right side were full.

Everyone sat quietly, no one spoke, and only Qi Lingtao's voice echoed in the huge hall.

"The family is prosperous, and we have not insulted our ancestors,"

Qi Lingtao tried his best to look fair and majestic, and said slowly: "However, the tree is big and branched, and it is reasonable for Aunt Tang to want to divide the sect. ”

Qi Lingtao himself felt awkward when he said this.

As the patriarch of the Qi family, he is used to the above set of rhetoric, but the problem is that in the past, he said these things all to preside over the division of the clan, and the division of the family is an act recognized by both the law and the patriarchal law, and Qi Lingtao is also confident in saying it.

But it's different now, the eldest princess has made it clear that she wants to divide the family tree and establish a new ancestral hall, she, she wants to divide the clan!

Dividing the family and dividing the sect, there is only one word difference between the two words, but the meanings are very different.

Dividing a family, to put it bluntly, is a big family divided into several small families according to the patriarchal law, whether it is a large family or a small family, it is not beyond the scope of the clan. To put it bluntly, it's still a family.

The division of the clan is different, it is basically a new family from a family, although each other is still the same surname, an ancestor, but they are no longer a family with each other.

To give you a less auspicious example-

Assuming that someone in the clan (such as Qi Jinzhi) commits the crime of rebellion, and the saint is angry and wants to punish his nine clans, then if it is just a separation, the eldest princess still belongs to the scope of being killed.

And after the sect was divided, the eldest princess and her family were able to escape the catastrophe without being implicated.

At that time, the concept of clan was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and unless there was a deep hatred for the clan, no one would take the initiative to propose the division of clans.

The eldest princess's move, how incomprehensible it is.

If it weren't for receiving her benefits, and there was no loss to the family and himself, Qi Lingtao would not be willing to help the eldest princess at all.

But he had planned well before coming, and when he really opened his mouth at this moment, he felt extremely empty.

Coughing lightly, Qi Lingtao flew over the title deed, house deed, silver ticket and other deed papers in his mind, adjusted his mood, and continued to maintain the selflessness on his face.

At least in the eyes of others, Qi Lingtao, the patriarch, is only maintaining the harmony and development of the family, and has absolutely no selfish intentions.

Qi Lingxian and the county lord of Qinghe were not easy to fool, the two of them glanced at it casually, and they saw the clues, and they refused to accept Qi Lingtao's words.

There was silence in the room.

Qi Lingtao's face was panicked, but in the end, money was more important than face, he coughed again, and directly named: "Brother Hall, what do you think?" ”

Qi Lingxian was silent for a long time, and Fang slowly asked: "Auntie, you are a royal noblewoman and an elder in the family, but if you have orders, your nephew will not dare to obey." It's just that my nephew has something I want to ask my aunt, did you mistakenly believe the rumors in the market by doing this, and then dislike Brother Jin and embarrass the family? ”

The eldest princess paused for a moment as she twisted her rosary fingers, but she quickly recovered, but if she looked closely, she found that she was much faster than before.

Obviously, the eldest princess didn't expect Qi Lingxian to break this matter.

But anyone who knows some of the stories of the Qi family, after hearing the news of the eldest princess's request for a separation, the first reaction must be 'Qi Jinzhi has made a big disaster, and Pingyang does not want to be implicated, so he has to cut off with Xiqi'.

The second reaction is to disdain the phrase 'what an ungrateful old pious woman'.

Qi Lingxian and his family should think the same way.

In fact, the eldest princess does have concerns in this regard, she has easily paved a smooth road to wealth for her children and grandchildren, and she really doesn't want the people of Xiqi to be affected.

As for whether doing so will attract the spurning and accusations of outsiders and Xiqi, the eldest princess is not afraid.

It's just outsiders, how could she have been afraid of those people?

And Qi Lingxian and Qinghe are both proud people, who respect rules and etiquette, even if they are dissatisfied, they will not attack in public.

Neither of them cares, other inconsequential people, who would meddle in their messy?!

After a long time, there is a new topic in Beijing, and the matter of the Qi family's division will naturally fade away.

Dongqi lost a little reputation, but he was able to get rid of the drag of Xiqi, he became rich and rich, and he could also prevent Xiqi from getting lost, which definitely outweighed the disadvantages.

If you do it well, you may not even lose your reputation.

The eldest princess's wishful thinking crackled, but Qi Ling was a rare abnormality, and she didn't act according to her script!

"Brother Xian, what do you mean by this? Are you scolding me, an old woman, for being cold, ruthless, and ungrateful? ”

The eldest princess was secretly annoyed, and no longer looked like an elder who had no quarrel with the world, and asked coldly.

In normal times, when the eldest princess said this, Qi Lingxian and Qinghe would hurriedly stand up, even if they didn't kneel, they would admit their mistakes in fear.

In any case, this aunt is the elder in the entire Qi family who has the closest relationship with Qi Lingxian's patriarchy, and if she doesn't get it right, the eldest princess will be able to charge Qi Lingxian with 'unfilial piety'.

But today, Qi Lingxian and his wife sat indifferently on the chair, not frightened, not panicked.

Only Qi Lingxian arched his hand meaningfully, "My nephew has no such intention, he just thinks it's strange." Although the east and west are separated, they are also close to each other, and there is no disharmony. Although the nephew and the county lord are stupid, they are also people who abide by etiquette and filial piety, and they think that they have never been neglectful or disrespectful to their aunt, but their aunt suddenly proposed to divide the clan.

Qi Lingxian's face was at a loss, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes, as if he was silently complaining about his grievances: We are benevolent to your family, and we don't ask you for anything in return, so don't be so tricky.

In fact, even in the later generations of relative democracy and freedom, the elders and the younger generations had conflicts, under normal circumstances, no matter what the cause and effect were, it was the younger generations who suffered in the end.

The eldest princess, who is nearly seventy years old, has a good life, but she wants to propose to separate the clan with her nephew, even if she is a person who understands the temperament of the eldest princess, she can't help but mutter: Could it be that Qi Lingxian did something disrespectful as a nephew? forced the old aunt to cut him at the expense of breaking with the family?!

Qi Lingxian was obviously the victim, but he was kidnapped by morality and became a bad guy who was talked about, which is really wronged!

The people sitting there were not fools, and they all understood Qi Lingxian's eyes 'accusation'.

The eldest princess and Qi Lingyuan are better, they have experienced a lot of ups and downs, and they have long practiced the skills of spitting and doing their own things, and the thickness of their face and psychological quality are not ordinary tough.

Qi Qinzhi, Qi Mianzhi, Yao Xiruo and others, in the end, were young, their faces were tender, they all blushed, lowered their heads, and did not dare to look at Qi Lingxian and his wife opposite.

"Yes, if my aunt thinks that my nephew and daughter-in-law have done something wrong, I can point it out, and my nephew and daughter-in-law will definitely correct it. You used to admonish, 'You can't write two words in one stroke', 'The East and the West are one family', and your nephew and daughter-in-law have all remembered it in their hearts, and they don't dare to forget it for a moment."

Although Qinghe didn't know why her husband had a seizure, they were husband and wife, and if her husband expressed his attitude, she had to fully cooperate.

While saying that, he took a handkerchief and dipped the corners of his eyes, Qinghe made a full appearance, and said aggrievedly: "Now you don't say anything, and directly invite the patriarch to ask for the division of the sect, aunt, you do this, how can our couple have the face to gain a foothold in the capital in the future?" As he grows old, how will he face the ancestors of the Qi family? ”

Qi Ling first made a silent accusation, while Qinghe said it all to the surface.

At this time, even the eldest princess couldn't sit still.

The only thing she can rely on is the identity of the elders, as well as the 'generosity' of Qi Lingxian and his wife, and now these two people are suddenly thinking about each other, especially in the past, Qinghe did really well, and the magnates in the city and the nobles in the palace all saw it.

If the eldest princess doesn't handle it well, she will definitely end up stealing chickens and rice.

A ghostly light flashed in her eyes, and the eldest princess had an idea.

With a bang, she pressed the rosary beads on the table beside her and said coldly, "Why? Why? I'll tell you why! The horse is the eldest son of the Qi family, the heir, and now the genealogy and ancestral hall of the Qi family are controlled by you Qi Lingxian, and my brother Yuan has become a side branch! ”

I couldn't save face, so I simply ripped it off and made a fuss, not only did I have decades of bad anger, but I could also keep my lizi and completely break with Xiqi, why not?

The eldest princess seemed to want to vent all the resentment in her heart, her chest rose and fell violently, and her expression changed from the initial show to her true feelings. Who is qualified to inherit everything from the Qi family? My concubine is the real original son-in-law, and my brother Yuan is a serious son-in-law, but now I am going to be trampled under your feet, I, I-"

Everyone present was shocked by the eldest princess's sudden 'madness', and after a while, they came back to their senses, all with different expressions and flying eyes.

Qi Lingxian was the first to calm down, quietly watching the eldest princess go crazy, and after she finished saying this, she interjected: "I inherit the title of the Qi family, and I am the master of the saint, as for why I inherited the title instead of Brother Yuan, the reason should be very clear to my aunt." My aunt is old, but there are some things that I can't talk about. ”

Since he tore his face, Qi Lingxian was not polite, and directly pointed out the eldest princess's gaffe: it was a saint who made Qi Lingxian the head of the Qi family, and the eldest princess questioned this matter, wouldn't she be doubting the saint's decision? Dissatisfied with the saints?

The eldest princess choked, and the anger that was burning just now cooled down instantly.

The eldest princess closed her eyes vigorously, gritted her teeth and said, "What you reminded me is that I am old and confused." In that case, I can always divide the sect, right? We have a single genealogy in this room, and you are still the descendants of the Qi family, which is always okay, right?! ”

She can see that Qi Lingxian is forcing her to admit Xi Qi's 'heir' status.

If she doesn't admit it, Qi Lingxian will use the excuse of 'family' to resist death without separating the clan.

It's just an identity, just let it go for the time being. When her children and grandchildren gain power, it will be the same if they take it back.

Qi Lingxian didn't appreciate it, and replied lightly: "Aunt laughed again, my grandmother is Mrs. Pingxi Hou who is married to Ming Media, and Mrs. Qi family recognized by Grandpa Gao and Empress Zhenlie, my father is the eldest son of my grandmother, and he is also the descendant of the Qi family." I inherited the Qi family, Yu Gong, is a saint in charge, and in private, it is in line with the patriarchal rules. ”

The implication is that I Qi Ling is the first to be the head of the house, but it is not up to you eldest princess to have the final say. It is an ironclad fact, and there is no need for someone to 'bear the burden of humiliation' to admit it.

The eldest princess was so angry that she almost closed her breath, she was so easy to let go, Qi Lingxian, a, actually put on a disdainful face, it was really hateful!

"Cousin, what the hell do you want to do?"

Qi Lingyuan saw that his mother's face had changed, and he was anxious, and shouted angrily: "I just want to fulfill my father's last wish, isn't this okay?" Our room is separated separately, and the clan, and you Xiqi, there is no damage at all, why are you so aggressive? ”

"Aggressive? Who exactly is being aggressive today? Master Yuan, you have to talk about your conscience when you are a man~~"

Qinghe is the eldest sister-in-law, and she once helped Dongqi when she was in trouble, so it was not too rude for her to admonish her brother-in-law like this.

Qi Lingyuan secretly hated in his heart, he could quarrel with Qi Lingxian, and it was nothing to do it directly, 'brother', there will always be bumps.

Qinghe is different, she is a sister-in-law and a woman, especially for their family, Qi Lingyuan is not to mention quarreling with her, even if he shows a little dissatisfaction, he will be blamed.

His teeth were chattering, but Qi Lingyuan still had to restrain his anger and apologize in a low voice: "What my sister-in-law taught me is that I, I shouldn't talk back to my cousin." However, the cow can't force his head if he doesn't drink water, and my mother intends to set up another ancestral hall, and I also want to fulfill my deceased father's last wish, and I also ask my cousin and sister-in-law to fulfill it. ”

The eldest princess relieved herself, slowly stood up, and said to Qi Lingxian: "Brother Xian, you come with me." ”

With that, the eldest princess left the room full of people and walked straight to the east room.

Qi Lingxian stood up unappetically and followed her slowly.

Seeing the duel between the East and the West with his own eyes, Qi Lingtao was stunned at first, and then he was apprehensive, and at this moment he was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Qi Lingyuan's face was gloomy, his head was lowered, and his body exuded a terrifying momentum.

The county lord of Qinghe was leisurely, picked up the teacup, and tasted it carefully.

Qi Qinzhi and Qi Mianzhi and other brothers looked at each other, not knowing what was wrong.

As the only woman in Dongqi attending, Yao Xiruo sat elegantly, her eyes lowered, so that people could not see the ridicule in her eyes - this eldest princess is really an old fool who is a dead old fool!
