Chapter 141
"Uncle Seven, what's wrong?" Min Wei was still curious about what the seventh old lady wanted to do, so she heard a whispered discussion in the ancestral hall, obviously the people in the ancestral hall didn't seem to know what the seventh old lady wanted to do, even Jiang Qinjin, who was the patriarch, looked at the seventh old lady kneeling on the ground with a puzzled face after being stopped by the seventh old lady, and among them, there were several brothers of the seventh old lady who were not surprised by the sudden movements of the seventh old lady.
"Jiang Qinhan, the third son of Jiang Yiran, the third son of Jiang Yiran, is the fifth in the clan, has been married for more than 15 years, and still has no son-in-law under his knees. After the seventh old lady finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily to the ancestral tablet in front of him.
The people in the ancestral hall seemed to be silent for a while, and suddenly became noisy like an explosion, Min Wei was shocked by the words of the seventh old lady, and almost subconsciously looked in the direction of Mo's, what did the people in this ancestral hall think Min Wei didn't know, but Minwei could guess that Mo's would definitely not have any happy feelings when she heard these words.
Sure enough, there was no trace of joy on Mo's face, and there was still some resistance in his eyes, and even Min Wei saw Mo's lips move slightly, as if she was about to say the reluctance in her heart, but before the words could be spoken, she was stopped by Qin Shi on the side, although Qin's face was also stunned and puzzled, but when she found the resistance in Mo's eyes, she immediately took action to stop Mo.
Min Wei turned her head slightly and looked at the Jiang Qinxin brothers, although the faces of the two brothers were a little puzzled and questioned, but they did not speak, Min Wei turned her gaze back to the seventh old lady, Min Wei saw that the look on the seventh old lady's face was very serious, and couldn't help but secretly said in her heart: Hey, aren't those words a joke? But didn't Lan's mother say that the Jiang family's concubines were very distinct? Didn't Jiang Qinmian kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days at that time? Are you old enough to kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days in a row?
"Uncle Seven. Are you kidding, now that the fifth brother is still young, the seventh uncle can wait for another two years, so there is no need to be in such a hurry. Min Wei looked in the direction of the sound. The person who spoke stood behind the fourth old lady, Min Wei remembered that it seemed that it was also one of her uncles, and he usually had to salute when he met, but he didn't come and go as often as those uncles who usually came out, and Min Wei still remembered that this uncle had a daughter who was about the same age as herself. It's a classmate of the boudoir.
"That's it, Uncle Qi, don't be in such a hurry." The person who spoke this time, Min Wei looked carefully for a long time and couldn't remember that she had seen him, and the person who spoke was still standing in the crowd, but the distance between him and Jiang Qinxin and the position where they were standing didn't seem to be very close, according to this distance, it should be a child of the Shu branch who is not very close to the seventh old lady, but since the seventh old lady is called the seventh uncle, it should also be Min Wei's uncle.
Not only these two people, but there are constantly people in the ancestral hall who are persuading the Seventh Old Lady. Of course, there are still some people who agree with the seventh old lady's approach, and in the midst of the noise, Min Wei found that although the sons of several old ladies expressed their opinions, those old ladies sat firmly on the chairs, and they have not said a word so far, although the Jiang Qinxin brothers are full of doubts, but they have always remained silent.
"Okay, what's the noise? What the seventh brother just said, a few of us old bones know. Now you haven't even said anything yet, what are you anxious about? After the seventh old lady finished saying what he was going to say, he knelt in front of a bunch of tablets, and it was the sixth old lady who spoke at this time, and his voice was very calm. Not at all affected by the noise of this ancestral hall.
After the words of the sixth old lady, the ancestral hall quieted down suddenly, I thought that the decision of the seventh old lady was made suddenly, but I didn't expect that it had been discussed with several old ladies, it seems that everyone was invited to the ancestral hall just to let everyone witness it, for the decision of the seventh old lady. Min Wei doesn't know how many people choose to accept it, but Mo and Min Wei are a little unacceptable.
"No, Rui'er is my son, don't any of you try to snatch him away." Just as the ancestral hall was very quiet, and everyone looked at the fourth old lady who was sitting calmly on a chair and drinking tea, a rapid and sharp female voice came from the door of the ancestral hall, Min Wei was very familiar with this voice, because she had heard it countless times, Yao, although she didn't know where she knew the news, but obviously she came to stop it.
"Presumptuous, but she is just a concubine, and she dares to break into the ancestral hall, and she won't be kicked out for me." The eldest old lady's voice was a little angry when he said this, his face has been ugly today, and at this moment, when he saw that a concubine of the Yao family dared to break into the ancestral hall, he immediately stood up and pointed at the Yao family and shouted loudly, after the old lady's words were finished, someone came out of the crowd to stop the Yao family.
Although Yao was stopped, he still kept walking in the direction of Jiang Minrui, even if he was just standing still, Yao never gave up his move to move forward, with Yao's appearance, Mo's little abnormality was forgotten, everyone's eyes looked at Yao, even Jiang Minrui, who had been kneeling there with his head down, couldn't help but look up at Yao.
"Let go of me, Rui'er is my son, you can't snatch my son, he is my son" Yao's voice became clearer and more shrill, resounding throughout the ancestral hall, especially in the ancestral hall that had been quiet since just now, Yao's voice seemed so abrupt and loud.
"Kick her out for me, this is the ancestral hall of the Jiang family, how can you let a concubine break in at will, it's really nonsense." The eldest old lady was even more angry after hearing Yao's words, Min Wei was closer, and it seemed that she could see that the eldest old lady's forehead had faintly appeared green tendons, and even the hand holding the cane seemed to tremble a little, it seemed that his angry Cheng DΓΉ had exceeded Min Wei's expectations.
"Brother Han, have you forgotten what you promised me? Brother Han, how can you snatch Rui'er away from me? Seeing that he was dragged out without resistance, Yao had no choice but to shout Jiang Qinhan's name loudly, Jiang Qinhan's body trembled slightly, but to Yao's disappointment, Jiang Qinhan never looked back and didn't say anything, even the slight tremor was like an illusion.
The Yao family was finally taken out of the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall was quiet again, and in the silence, Jiang Qinjin spoke first, and said to the seventh old lady with some uncertainty in his voice: "Seventh uncle, you can't laugh at such a thing, if you want to change the family tree." The seventh uncle, the fifth brother, and Rui'er must be dealt with according to the family rules, kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights, and the seventh uncle should understand that even if the family tree is changed. Rui'er is still different from the real sister-in-law. β
The meaning that Jiang Qinjin wanted to express in his words was clearly recorded in the Jiang clan rules, and also in the minds of every Jiang family, and the unchangeable rules were understood even by Jiang Qinmian, who had changed his concubine to his concubine. Although he enjoys the status of a son-in-law, he still can't compare with the real son-in-law, so at this moment, Jiang Qinjin will repeatedly confirm that he still doesn't want the seventh old lady to make such a decision.
The Seventh Old Lady nodded and didn't speak, but his insistence made Jiang Qinjin understand that he couldn't come up with any more words to persuade his Seventh Uncle, so he had to say helplessly: "Since the Seventh Uncle has already decided, then please ask the Seventh Uncle, the Fifth Brother, and Rui'er to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights from today, and the rest of the things will be talked about after three days." β
No matter what, the clan rules cannot be changed, although Jiang Qinjin did not want the Seventh Old Lady to make such a decision. But since the mind of the seventh old lady has not changed, then he can only let the three of them kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights according to the clan rules, and then invite the clan to change the family tree again, Jiang Qinjin looked at Jiang Qinhan and Jiang Minrui who were kneeling there without speaking, and finally just said to everyone: "If there is nothing to do, let's go home separately, and wait for three days." β
After Jiang Qinjin's words were finished, the people in the ancestral hall all walked out one after another, while several old ladies were still sitting in place, waiting until everyone was almost gone. The fifth old lady was the first to get up, but when he walked out, his steps seemed to pause slightly, but he didn't speak, and the sixth old lady walked out after the fifth old lady. He also didn't speak, but his footsteps were a little faster to catch up with the fifth old lady.
The fourth old lady also got up after the two, took two steps in the direction of the seventh old lady, patted the seventh old lady on the shoulder, and then left the ancestral hall, and the last to leave was the eldest old lady, different from the others. After the old lady stood up, she seemed to knock her cane on the ground twice, and snorted a little dissatisfiedly before leaving the ancestral hall.
In this way, only Jiang Qinjin and the people of the seventh room are left in this ancestral hall, Min Wei looked at Mo Shi with some anxiety, although she knew that Mo Shi had some resistance to this matter in her heart, but things had come to this point, it was no longer Mo Shi alone who could change it, at this time Mo Shi said something, it was not good, fortunately although Mo Shi still had some resistance in his eyes, but he did not plan to speak again.
"Father, your body is fine, you have to do it next" Although Jiang Qinxin did not agree with the decision of the Seventh Old Lady, he still did not put forward a different meaning, but was a little worried about the Seventh Old Lady's body, but before Jiang Qinxin's words were finished, he saw the Seventh Old Lady waving his hand with his back to everyone, as if to signal everyone that there was no problem with his body.
Jiang Qinxin didn't say anything anymore when he saw this, he bowed to everyone and turned around and exited the room, after Jiang Qinxin left, Qin and the others also left, even Min Wei was taken away by the Mo family, and the ancestral hall finally became really quiet, Jiang Qinjin saw that everyone was gone, and then said to the seventh old lady: "The decision made by the seventh uncle this time, Qinjin actually doesn't agree with it very much, but since the seventh uncle has already decided, Qinjin only hopes that the seventh uncle will not be too reluctant to his body." β
The Seventh Old Lady still didn't look back, just nodded, and then sent out a faint um, Jiang Qinjin finally left, and the Seventh Old Lady didn't speak until this time: "Don't think about anything else, you will kneel with me for the past three days to ask the ancestors and ancestors for their sins, since it is the cause of your knot, you should taste this fruit." The Seventh Old Lady's voice was very firm, and even if he didn't look back, Jiang Qinhan could think of what the expression on his face was.
Jiang Qinhan's head was lowered a little, and his mind kept remembering what the Seventh Old Lady had said when he called him last night: "It seems that you don't plan to have a concubine, since this is the case, I will accompany you to kneel back to the ancestral hall and record Rui'er under the name of the Mo family, and in the future, you can mess around as much as you want, and it is your business to have as many concubines as you want." Jiang Qinhan originally wanted to refute after hearing this, but after seeing the rare and somewhat sharp eyes of the seventh old lady, Jiang Qinhan couldn't say what he wanted to say.
It seems that he is worried about what Jiang Qinhan will do, until he entered the ancestral hall today, Jiang Qinhan has been left in the old mansion to accompany the seventh old lady, so that Jiang Qinhan can't even find the opportunity to talk to Yao, Jiang Qinhan has been worried until Yao's come, he did promise Yao, he will not record Jiang Minrui in Mo's name, and will definitely find a way to make Yao's main room, although the latter Jiang Qinhan did not do it, but he really seriously wants to do what he promised Yao.
Jiang Qinhan didn't speak, but Jiang Minrui, who was kneeling beside him not far away, found that Jiang Qinhan's hands were clenched into fists and placed on his thighs, although he lowered his head, Jiang Minrui still saw from the side that his face seemed to be trying his best to suppress all kinds of emotions, Jiang Minrui looked at his father uneasily, and then looked at his grandfather, who was already showing an old state not far ahead, and finally chose to kneel without saying anything.
After the Qin family and the Mo family left the ancestral hall, the Qin family persuaded the Mo family: "Although Min Rui is not young and has long remembered, but we have watched him grow up in the past few years, and Min Rui is also a person who knows etiquette and etiquette, since it is recorded in your name in the future, he should also be filial to you and take care of Wei'er." The Qin family thought about it for a long time, and in the end he could only persuade the Mo family like this.
After all, Jiang Minrui's preservation is still very embarrassing, especially knowing what Jiang Qinhan did to the Mo family for Yao's family, and the wife of the main room who has not been touched for five years after marriage, obviously a concubine but enjoys the first place in the main room, and the eldest son who was born a few years earlier than the eldest daughter, in order to help the concubine and abandon the main room and the concubine, so that such a son born by the concubine who ruined his life as a husband and wife for more than ten years is recorded in his name, the Qin family feels that even if this kind of thing is encountered by himself, he may not be able to accept it calmly.
