Zhao Xiu walked in front, followed by several servants, and a large group of male servants escorted Zhao Ze, and the group walked towards the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is actually next door to the two-room old house, but they are all big mansions, so there is also a distance from this gate to that gate. Zhao Yu followed all the way and wanted to stop it, but he did not hesitate to put on the patriarch's shelf, and ordered Zhao Xiu to stop with a straight face, but Zhao Xiu just ignored it. Zhao Yu was so angry that he was smoking, looking at the family members or subordinates of those clansmen who were looking at the streets and alleys, and only felt that his face was lost.

Just as Zhao Xiu walked to the point where he was less than twenty steps away from the entrance of the ancestral hall, a group of fresh-faced people dressed like servants of a large family hurriedly arrived and stopped them. The leader is a girl with a very standard appearance, with angry faces, apricot eyes, waist swings, graceful posture, a golden phoenix bead hairpin pinned to the sideburns, and wearing silk satin.

She stopped someone when she came up, and without waiting to speak, she rushed straight in the direction of Zhao Ze, scolding in her mouth: "You bastards, don't let go of our brother quickly, if our brother breaks a little skin, I will make you go around without eating!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, no one knew who this girl was, although they stopped, they didn't let go. Just kidding, their aunt and grandmother are still there, who dares to disobey her order?

Zhao Ze struggled and called the girl: "Sister Liu Ying, save me!" It's Zhao Xiu's order! ”

The willow warbler was stunned and quickly reacted. Turning to stare at Zhao Xiu, he sneered: "I advise the girl not to go too far, although our Brother Ze is a junior." But he is also the master of the top door, not a little girl who can be humiliated casually. The girl will be ruthless, and when there is no one to rely on in the future, don't regret it! ”

Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows: "I want to know, why do I have no one to rely on, and I need to beg to kill the son of my enemy?" ”

Liu Ying pouted: "It's hard to say." The look between his eyebrows and eyes was very determined.

Zhao Xiu's heart moved: "Who are you?" ”

Another manservant who was with the willow warbler stepped forward: "This is our willow girl girl, the right-hand man beside the eldest lady." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows. "It turned out to be a girl? You just bought it from outside, right? I really don't know the rules, no big or small. ”

Liu Ying was displeased when she heard this: "Girl, don't talk nonsense, I am the son of the Jiannan Hou Mansion." I've been on an errand in the house since my grandfather's generation, and I've been with our old lady for eight or nine years, how can I not understand the rules?! ”

Zhao Xiu smiled: "I see, Brother Ze." Your rules are really fresh. A little girl ring, pointing at my nose and scolding the girl? As soon as the words fell, he turned his face: "Give me a palm!" ”

Before Liu Ying could react, two powerful mothers-in-law had already walked out behind Zhao Xiu, one restrained Liu Ying, and the other raised his hand and slapped him hard, stunning everyone, followed by another slap. Another slap on the left side of the face. The little pink face instantly turned red and swollen.

Zhao Yu was distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward and kicked the woman away, hugged Liu Ying in his arms and shouted, "Don't do it!" This is my beloved concubine, how dare you give such a heavy hand?! ”

Zhao Xiu looked funny: "Uncle Yu, isn't this Aunt Jiong's girl?" You don't pick your mouth like this, even the people around your younger siblings want it? ”

If you are a sister-in-law, you see that there is no one to take care of your brother-in-law, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and it is not uncommon to give a roommate, but Niu is Zhao Yu's younger brother and sister, and it is really rare to add a room to the eldest uncle. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Xiu said this, Zhao Yu's words and deeds were a little ambiguous for no reason, and the eyes of the people around him looked at him a little differently. Zhao Yu hurriedly scolded: "Sister Xiu'er is talking nonsense!" Your aunt and I are both your elders, how can you slander us at will?! ”

Zhao Xiu smiled: "What did I slander you?" Isn't she your brother and sister? Isn't this girl from your brother or sister's side? After speaking, he straightened his face again: "Uncle Yu had better make it clear, since this girl is from Xiaochangfang, how did she become your concubine?" If she is your person, you hurry up and take the person away, don't meddle in the housekeeping of the second room, if she is not your person, Uncle Yu should hurry up and let go of the person, in front of my niece, you hug and hug on the street, so faceless! ”

Zhao Yu realized that his actions were inappropriate, hurriedly let go of Liu Ying, and raised his neck and said: "This is my concubine, she was the girl next to my eldest brother and sister, and she became a person in my house a month ago, and she is a person in our sect." She just remembered the friendship of the old master, and couldn't help but want to save people. You...... You're my junior, you can't beat her! ”

Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Since I'm just a person in the house, I'm still a girl, if Uncle Yu thinks I'm your junior, I'll be insulted by your room, you might as well tell the people in the clan about it!" After that, he turned around and left, strode into the gate of the ancestral hall, someone had already reported into the hall, and the Zhang family, the eighth old lady and Zhao Jing and the owners of each house all got up and looked over.

Zhao Wei ran to his sister's side: "What's wrong?" We were in the courtyard when we heard a commotion outside. ”

Zhao Xiu shook his hand, squeezed his eyes at him, and then walked to the front of the steps at the door of the main hall with a solemn face, and said in a loud voice: "Sister Xiu, please ask all the uncles, uncles, brothers and nephews in the clan to call the shots, Uncle Fang Caiyu brought Zhao Ze from the small long room over and asked me to clean up the room for him, saying that Zhao Ze is the eldest son and grandson, and he will live in the main courtyard according to the rules." Zhao Ze, as a junior, didn't even give a salute when he saw me, I asked him why he didn't salute, and he pointed at me and scolded, saying that I slandered him and his mother back then, saying that he didn't kill his younger brother, and it was our little second room who poured dirty water on them in order to occupy the family property. I asked him to restrain him, and his mouth was not clean, so I asked him to take him to the ancestral hall and ask the elders to teach him a lesson for me. A girl came out on the way, saying that it was someone next to Aunt Jiong, pointing at my nose and scolding me for being a little girl, and what else did I say, I would not be polite to them this time, and when I had no relatives to rely on, I knew that I regretted it. That's funny to say, I have a grandmother. There are elder brothers, and there are many uncles and brothers in the clan, why does this girl say that I will have no relatives to rely on. What do you want them to do?! ”

The clansmen were a little angry when they heard this, and many people involuntarily remembered the confession of Lu Dashou. Since she is the girl of Xiaochangfang and the person next to the Niu family, it is not surprising to know the Niu family's plan. She would say that, most likely because she thought that Lu Dashou would poison the Zhang family and Zhao Wei's ancestors and grandchildren, and there was only one Zhao Xiu left in the small second room, which was not a climate. You can only be at the mercy of Xiao Changfang, right? Some people also think that Xiao Changfang has never been here in the past five years, and now he suddenly sent back the eldest grandson, who still has a mortal enmity with Xiao Erfang. Could it be the idea of waiting for the Zhang family and Zhao Wei's ancestors to die, and then immediately take over the family property of Xiao Erfang? What does Xiao Changfang think of the clan?

The faces of the owners of each house were not good-looking, and they were even more disgusted with the little long room in their hearts, and they were extremely glad that the referendum had just been held. The family has been expelled from the clan. Thinking that there is no longer this wicked person in the clan, everyone suddenly feels that their lintels are much more innocent and noble, if there is any shortcoming, that is, they did not first leave the vicious women of the Niu family who did not lose their daughters-in-law from the Zhao family, and then leave their room.

Zhao Xiu looked at everyone's faces, very satisfied, and then complained: "This girl is so rude, I really can't see it." Let people slap her mouth. Unexpectedly, Uncle Yu suddenly jumped out to stop him, and hugged this girl on the street and said. She is already his beloved concubine, she is a member of the sect, I am a junior, and I can't beat her. I still wonder why Uncle Yu suddenly helped Xiao Changfang to speak, it turned out that it was because he accepted someone from his family to make a room, but even so, black and white should not be reversed! It's obvious that Xiao Changfang has done something bad, why is it now the fault of our orphans and widows in the second room?! ”

Zhao Wei frowned, and said on fire: "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that for Uncle Yu, she has become the elder of our Zhao family's jade characters? She committed the following offense, pointed at my sister's nose and cursed, my sister is the daughter of the county government, and she can't teach her a lesson?! ”

As soon as he said this, the dissatisfaction of the clansmen was even higher, and the eighth old lady directly asked one of the parties: "Zhao Yu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhao Yu was stunned, and said hesitantly: "I...... I didn't say that! I mean, I'm a member of the sect, and she shouldn't be in charge of the housework of the second room, but she has also had a master-servant relationship, and it's nothing to help Brother Ze'er talk, but Sister Xiu'er wants to teach me a lesson from the people in the sect's room, it's too much, I'm still there, Sister Xiu'er is always my junior, right? You have to respect my uncle, right? ”

The eighth old lady stared at him and asked, "What do you say about Zhao Ze?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yu was reasonable: "I went to Beijing to help Xiao Erfang, who knew they would leave first?" I also handed over the house to the people of the Guangping palace to take care of, so that my nephews and nephews and grandnephews didn't even have a place to live, so we had to go to a small long house. In the past, it was all the fault of adults, people died, the lights went out, and Brother Ze'er was still in prison, and it had nothing to do with children. Ze Ge'er has been studying for a few years, and it is almost time to go to school, the ancestral home of the Zhao family is in Shanghai Mansion, so naturally he wants to come back to take the children's exam. Eighth uncle, you always said that you want to let the clan have a few more reading seeds, so I personally brought Brother Ze back. This kid is very smart, and he will definitely be able to pass the exam next year! In this way, our Zhao family can be regarded as having one more little talent, isn't that a good thing? ”

The heads of the houses disagreed, seven or eight of the children in the clan participated in the children's examination this year, only two of them were admitted to Xiucai, and those who did not win were not without wisdom and hard work, how could this Zhao Ze be virtuous? Twelve-year-old child, Zhao Yu dares to say that he will definitely be able to pass the exam next year?

Zhao Yu didn't notice the expressions of the clansmen, but said with a straight face: "Brother Ze is a descendant of the second room, since he is back, he should naturally live in the house of the second room, where did he think that Sister Xiu'er is unreasonable, refuses to clean up the house, and shouts and kills, it's not good to learn to be so spicy at a young age, if you grow up and are still like this, you won't be able to get married, and it will ruin the reputation of our Zhao family's daughter!" ”

Zhang's was furious, she only had this one granddaughter, although she had some minor problems on weekdays, she was smart, capable and sensible, much stronger than other daughters, Zhao Yu said this kind of thing to curse her granddaughter, it was unbearable. She angrily rebuked, "You don't have to worry about this! Now Xiao Changfang is no longer a descendant of the Zhao family, no matter how smart the people of his family are, they have nothing to do with our Fengxian Zhao family! If he wants to participate in the scientific examination, he should think about how to get rid of the name of the descendants of criminals! ”

Zhao Ze's grandfather was stripped of his title for committing a felony, and his biological mother was also a repeat offender, he was a direct descendant of the prisoner, and his net worth was not innocent, so it was a joke to be qualified for the exam. The small second room is still there, it is impossible to sit idly by, even if there is no small second room, the eyes of the clansmen are also bright, relatives and friends in the township and local officials all know in their hearts, the people of the small long room want to get by? It's a pipe dream!

Zhao Yu was shocked when he heard this: "What do you mean by this?" Why is Xiao Changfang not from the Zhao family?! Liu Ying and Zhao Ze, who was escorted by his subordinates, were also dumbfounded.

Zhao Jing's face was flushed, he pursed his lips and walked down the steps, came to Zhao Yu and said, "Father, the Niu family of Xiaochangfang bought Lu Dashou, a slave in the second room, handed him a bag of poison, and asked him to return to his hometown with his uncle and grandmother and Brother Wei, waiting for an opportunity to poison their grandchildren. The matter has been stolen, and Lu Dashou has also confessed. It was agreed in the clan that Xiao Changfang could no longer tolerate this evil deed, so the whole clan voted to expel Xiao Changfang's family from the clan. He glanced up at Liu Ying: "Fang Cai's father's room let Sister Xiu be careful, there will be a day when no one can rely on her in the future, I'm afraid she is also an insider, right?" Zhao Ze returned to his hometown with you, was it really for scientific research? Isn't it to take over the second room property immediately after the accident in the small second room? ”

Zhao Yu's face changed and changed, and finally he couldn't help but slap his son: "Son! You are not here, how dare you do such a big thing?! He rushed to the bottom of the steps of the main hall and shouted, "I don't agree! What expulsion from the clan? Referendums don't count! ”

The people are not satisfied: "The whole clan is all in ruin, how can you overthrow you because you are not happy alone?" Zongfang also voted in favor. ”

"I'm the patriarch! He is the head of the family of the clan! Zhao Yu was a little crazy, "Zhao Jing can only act for me, but he is not the head of the family, how can he nod his head if I don't allow it?!" ”

Zhang said coldly: "It's useless if you don't nod, this time, the three inner rooms are all in favor of the public discussion, and the clansmen almost all agree to leave the small long room, you alone can't change anything." In front of all the children of the clan, you should leave yourself a little dignity! ”

It's a pity that Zhao Yu refused: "I don't agree!" There are three rooms and four families in the house, as long as the two families do not agree, no matter what the topic is, it is useless, and the Zongfang and Xiaochangfang will have two votes! Ze Ge'er is here, he is the eldest grandson of Xiao Changfang, his father is not here, he can call the shots, he will not agree to this proposal! ”

The eighth old lady shouted: "Shut up! The Niu clan just gave you a girl who had a room, and you were dizzy, ignoring the wishes of all the clansmen, and reversing black and white. With the appearance of you, can you still be a patriarch?! ”

He looked around at the people and said in a loud voice: "There is nothing to do today, so I will simply discuss the matter again." Zhao Yu is dim, it is no longer suitable for the head of a sect, I am willing to submit to the clan with the second room for public discussion, and the position of the patriarch will be inherited by Zhao Jing, who agrees? Who is against it? ”

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment. (To be continued......)
