There was a sound of rustling outside the room, the Yun couple hurriedly let go of each other, Yue Ziyun wiped the corners of her eyes, walked to open the door, and saw three children standing in a row at the door, the youngest Yun Kexin was looking at her with a slight smile.

"Mother, mother, mother, mother, ......mother,

This is the first time since she grew up to be a year old, Yue Ziyun heard her daughter call herself like this, her nose was sour, she picked her up, hugged her tightly, and several people entered the door, Xiao Kexin saw her father standing in front of the table at a glance, so she happily stretched out her little hand and shouted, "Daddy, daddy, want, daddy, daddy......"

Yun Tianyou stepped forward and hugged the child from Yue Ziyun's hand, looked at his daughter's innocent smile, and heard her call him "Daddy" so clearly for the first time in a year, he became more and more reluctant for a while, and said with mixed feelings:

"In the end, I am my own, I know that I know my father," he said as he stroked Xiao Kexin's little brain, and smiled indifferently, "Good daughter, father and mother can hear you call "father and mother" in their own ears before you pass by, and they are already content, but Xin'er must remember that she can't call it like this again in the future, so as not to hurt the hearts of her adoptive parents - since you have passed to Sanfang, from now on, the third uncle and third aunt are your real fathers and mothers, you have to be obedient, understand?" ”

Xiao Kexin nodded ignorantly - in the past year, since she babbled and now can speak slowly and clearly, she is very careful, "persistently" calling her biological parents and brothers and sisters "second uncle", "second aunt", "cousin", "cousin", and calling the three-room couple "father" and "mother";

is worried that once he loses his mouth or shows his true emotions a little, he is afraid that Fu Lianyin will try his best to deprive him of even that rare relationship.

"The ancestral hall is about to open, you should also pay attention," Yun Tianyou glanced at Yun Ke and Yun Yan beside him, "Zhuang point, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked." ”

In the evening, in the north room of the compound, the Yun family gathered together, and at each end of each end of a table of eight immortals in the center of the head sat an old man with white hair and a stern expression, who were the two younger brothers of Yun Jinxi, the Duke of Hubei who had just passed away not long ago: Yun Jinyu and Yun Jinxiu.

The old woman sitting next to the second master is the second master's wife's room - the second wife, Qian Hanqiu: dressed elegantly and with a tranquil expression, but the eyebrows at the end of her eyes and eyebrows are quite arrogant like "a daughter-in-law who has been a mother-in-law for many years"; The third uncle is an iron rooster who is a dime long, he is good at accumulating wealth and stingy, when he was young, several matchmakers came to the door to propose, he felt sorry for the dowry and was reluctant to come out, and the marriage was delayed again and again, so that the years have passed, and he has been lonely and old so far.

The first position on the right side of the head sits Zhou, the widow of the Duke of Eguo, full of silver wires, dressed in dark clothes, wrapped in Buddha beads, how to look very simple and unpretentious, only the forehead inlaid with southern pearls on the head adds a bit of luxury.

From the bottom of his heart, Yun Jinxiu is a little jealous of his brother's smooth sailing in his career and family - although he has passed away and his title has been temporarily withdrawn, his heirs are all outstanding:

The eldest son, Yun Tianci, was appointed as the highest official of the palace Tai Hospital, and won the trust of the current Taihe Emperor; The second son, Yun Tianyou, was a third-class jinshi in Taihe five years ago, served in the Hanlin Academy, and was made a marquis in the eighth year of Taihe; The third son, Yun Tianyang, served as the second official of the Criminal Department; The fourth son, Yun Tiancheng, doesn't like officialdom, but at a young age, he mixes like a fish in water in the mall and has a lot of money......

And the only one who can compare with Yun Jinxi's heir is the eldest son of the second master, Yun Chen, Yun Kexin's cousin, a young and promising hussar general, but he also died in battle many years ago; Now there is only one daughter under his knees, Yunqing (cousin), who is married to the king of Lanling, but although the second brother has a daughter who is a princess, the limelight is still far less eye-catching than the eldest brother's heir.

Yun Jinxiu once muttered in private: Could it be that the eldest brother's heir is too sharp to take away the glory of the other rooms? The second master, Yun Jinyu, did not believe in such a "crooked theory", but the speaker had no intention, the listener had a heart, and his daughters-in-law Qian and Zhou had a mustard in their hearts......

So he relied on the fact that the Yun clan was still alive and the oldest qualified to act as the identity of the "clan elder", on the surface, he did not interfere in the affairs of the Guogong Mansion, but in fact, he was thinking about how to suppress the second room.

"Ahem, cough, cough," the second master, Yun Jinyu, glanced at the audience, cleared his throat and said, "The ceremony begins - the ancestors and ancestors are above, let the seventh girl kowtow to her stepfather and mother in front of the elders in the family, and from now on, even if she is a person in the third room, it cannot be changed." ”

Yun Kexin coldly glanced at the three old men sitting above, and was secretly ashamed in her heart: the deeds behind her back actually had the face to perform the ceremony in front of the ancestors and ancestors, which shows that the words "old man with thick skin" are really not without reason.

In addition to slandering, she was led by Yun Tianyou to the center of the main hall, and stopped a few yards away from the three old men and said, "Kexin, kowtow to the clan elder first." ”

Yun Jinyu still wanted to say "no need", but Yun Kexin had already bent her knees obediently, kowtowed to the old man three times, and then sent a sweet smile. Immediately, Yun Tianyou took her to the third room Yun Tianyang and Fu Lianyin, who were sitting in the right row, and said, "Kexin, quickly kowtow to Daddy, the ancestors and the elders of the family will give you a testimony, and call 'Daddy'......"

Yun Kexin broke free of Yun Tianyou's hand and was about to "do a routine", but unexpectedly-

"Dad, mother, the child wants to know why the seventh sister wants to pass on to the third uncle and third aunt."

Yun Ke's voice! His question was like the ringing of the phone in an empty house, loud and harsh, but no one answered, only to see the third uncle Yun Jinxiu glaring at him, ignoring it, and said in a dumb voice: "Go on." ”

Yun Ke continued to ask questions in a hearty manner: "The so-called succession refers to the fact that there is no son in a certain house in the family, and the son of the same clan is adopted as the heir, and now among the Yun clan relatives, except for the fourth uncle who has not yet started a family and has no heirs, only the third uncle and the third aunt have no children under their knees, and the succession can be understood," Yun Ke's tone was immature but aggressive, "But the seventh sister is a daughter's family, Yun Ke wants to know where this inheritance comes from." ”

"Bold!" Yun Jinxiu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and Bai Huahua's beard moved, "This is the decision of the clan elder, how can it be discussed by your junior?" Go down, there's no place for you to talk here! ”

Yun Ke has always been docile and humble, it is rare to be so blatantly contradicted today, Yue Ziyun was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull her son, but Yun Ke seemed to have eaten the scales and was determined to get a reason to persuade him, standing there stubbornly unwilling to move, Yue's hard persuasion for a long time did not have any effect.

The third uncle's eyes were like knives and slashed towards Yun Tianyou, Yun Tianyou was ashamed, and he approached Yun Ke's side, and said coldly: "Kneel!" ”

Yun Ke glanced at his father, his lips moved, but he didn't speak after all, and turned his face to look at the three old men at the top.

Yun Jin was about to be corrected, so he saw that Yun Tianyou didn't say a word, and kicked at Yun Ke's hind leg joint, "poof"! Yun Ke lost his center of gravity, and his kneecaps collided with the ground with a crisp sound and fell to the ground.

"Rebel!" Yun Tianyou raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Have you forgotten what your father told you before?" Apologize to the clan elders! ”

"Father, the child just doesn't know—"

"Shut up!" Yun Tianyou was furious, his eyes widened, "This is the ancestral hall opened by the Yun clan, how can you be allowed to make noise, if you want to say more, the family law will punish you!" ”

There was a dead silence in the ancestral hall, and the sound of each other's breathing could be heard quietly, Yue's face turned white, and he wanted to intercede for his son, but he saw Yun Jinyu's eyelids lifted and put his eyeballs on the kneeling Yun Ke, and said slowly: "Ke'er, what you said is not unreasonable, but the so-called 'succession' of the clan elders is different from what you understand." ”

Yun Ke raised his eyes to look at the second master who was at the top, and the stubbornness on his face turned to surprise and inexplicable, thinking that he could hear a reasonable explanation, but he never thought that the second wife would intervene first:

"Since Yun Ke wants an explanation, then the second aunt will tell you that before Sister Xin was born, the clan elders found someone to calculate the hexagram, saying that she had killed Xing Ke's parents, and only 'succession' could resolve it," Qian Shi paused slightly, and suddenly said with a sinking face, "But for these reasons, we, as elders, don't need to explain to you, the junior—if this wind is long, is it that in the future, the Yun clan elders will have to 'explain' to the juniors whenever they decide on the big and small affairs of the family, otherwise they won't count?" The Yun family, is there any respect and inferiority among the elders and the young?! ”

Qian Hanqiu's tone was gentle, not anxious or annoyed, and he had the patience of an elder to admonish his juniors, but as soon as his words came out, he seemed to be about to convict all the people in the second room.
