439 Divergence
Jiang Shuncheng and a few people from the Shun generation had already arrived, and said loudly: "The daughter of the Jiang family is not allowed to be a concubine, and in the next few days, he will make a contract with the people of the three generations of Shun, Shu, and Chuan, and the "Xiling Jiang Ancestral Teachings", which is the same as the Jiang family's sons and daughters not accepting concubines. If you want to be a concubine, you can break off the relationship with the Jiang family first! ”
Jiang Shunxin's expression was serious, he had never been so serious as he was now, "You girls, listen well, what the old lady said is our unanimous agreement." The sons of the Jiang family can not take concubines, and the daughters of the Jiang family cannot be concubines. No one must break the rules! ”
Chuanzhu cried sadly, first because of the refusal to ask for the Yu family to go to the imperial city, and now some clansmen said that she was not allowed to be a concubine with others, but she felt very shameless, crying with tears on her face, and touched her face indiscriminately.
Jiang Shunyi was also in the meantime, staring at the mother and daughter kneeling in the hall quite embarrassed, it was really embarrassing, a few of them discussed the "Xiling Jiang Ancestral Teachings" in the ancestral hall, and there was a mess in the upper hall, a woman who passed on the word dared to collide with the ancestors of the Shun generation. "Someone came, take Chuanzhu down, and punish her to go to the nunnery to meditate for three years. Don't come out without my command! ”
Chuanzhu was dragged by two mothers-in-law and shouted, "Grandfather, grandfather...... You've spared me this time. ”
The Xiling Jiang clan is trying to use Jiang Shuncheng to return to his hometown and province, and he has to elect a new patriarch, and the second uncle of the last Yao generation is now paralyzed on the bed, with a clear mind and a good amount of food, as long as the family serves well, it will not be a problem to live for a few more years. The second uncle can't be the patriarch anymore, and now he has to choose a new patriarch to lead the clan to live a good life.
This is a great opportunity for people who are Shunzi and calligraphy.
No one will be born out of the ordinary at this juncture.
Jiang Shunxin had a disagreement with Jiang Shunyi a few years ago, and said coldly at this moment: "How did Brother Shunyi teach his descendants, Chuanzhu actually made a big fuss in the house, confronted the grandmother in the clan, and spread the face of going to the Jiang family?" A young lady is clamoring to be a concubine......"
Jiang Shunyi gritted his teeth ruthlessly and said loudly to Chuanzhu Niang: "Let her shave her hair and be a sister-in-law!" She must not be mistaken for the names of other women in the clan because she is alone! ”
Chuan Zhuniang was stunned and bowed deeply, "Weng ...... Daddy Weng ......"
"You still have the face to call me, as a mother, how can you raise your daughter to say such things. Get lost! Send her to the Jiang family's nunnery, and tell Mrs. Wuxin to shave Chuanzhu's hair and be a sister-in-law. "At first, I was forced to come up with an idea, but now I have already made up my mind that it cannot be changed.
Jiang Shunxin was considered by the clansmen to be more elegant than decisive. Now is the time to compete for the position of patriarch, Jiang Shunyi is the most promising candidate to become the patriarch, he can't let his position as patriarch fall into the hands of others because of a pearl. As the patriarch, you can take care of the Jiang clan members of your own line to a greater extent and win the greatest benefits.
When Chuanzhu heard the news, he opened his throat and cried.
Chuanzhu Niang wanted to ask for mercy, but when she saw Jiang Shunyi with a solemn face, she didn't dare to speak.
Another Shunzi generation man, Jiang Shunhong, is about sixty years old, with gray hair and a twisted beard, he is the most qualified among the Shunzi generation, and Jiang Shuncheng is the most helpful to the clansmen, and many people think that Jiang Shuncheng is the best for the patriarch. But Jiang Shuncheng has already resigned, and asked everyone to recommend three people to come out, and then convene the head of each family in the most Lu clan to elect a patriarch.
Jiang Shunhong said with a smile: "Brother Shunyi is really courageous. ”
Jiang Shunyi looked upright, "If you dare to ruin the reputation of the Jiang family, even my own granddaughter will not be spared." ”
Several people glanced at the girls gathered here, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, for fear of being caught by the elders.
Chuanzhu has been flying since she was a child, but she didn't expect that this time she was ordered by her grandfather who loved her the most to be sent to the Jiang family's nunnery to become a nun.
Even Chuanzhen was so frightened that she couldn't even breathe down.
Chuanling had a gloating expression on her face, glancing at everyone from time to time.
There are people who have a private friendship with Chuanzhu, and they look down at the elders, holding their hearts that are beating faster and faster, for fear that the disaster will happen to them, so they become more and more cautious.
Jiang Shuncheng said: "Alas, when I go back to the ancestral hall to continue to discuss, I have to come up with a charter and results, and set a new patriarch earlier." ”
The men saw that the matter had been dealt with, and they all seemed to have nothing to do.
The women were shocked, especially the daughters of the Jiang family, who stood quietly in the queue, their faces shocked.
Chuanzhu made a big fuss because of Sapo, and she was going to be shaved to be a sister-in-law.
When they walked away, Mama Tian and Mama Qing came back to their senses.
Mama Qing shouted, "Next!" ”
A woman answered the call and went forward and received the silk and gold hairpins that had been distributed to her.
In the ancestral hall of the Jiang family, the elders of the Shunzi generation came back, and the people of the book and character generation stopped talking again.
Jiang Chuanliang continued to read a passage of "Xiling Jiang's Ancestral Teachings", which Jiang Shuncheng took several months to revise and revis, in this ancestral teachings, not only have strict regulations on how to raise children and grandchildren, but also Jiang's daughters.
Jiang Shunyi shook his head and said, "The daughter of the Jiang family is not a concubine, this one is ......" He paused for a moment and swept everyone's faces, "Not for the concubine of a small family, it is still good to be a concubine for the prince, the emperor's grandson, and the second and third grades." ”
Jiang Shunxin was stunned for a moment, "You don't want to intercede with your granddaughter." ”
Jiang Shunyi said: "I have already punished her to go to the family nunnery to shave her hair and be a sister-in-law, and I still took this idea." ”
If he pleaded again, wouldn't he be a slap in the face?
Jiang Shunhong shook his head, "I agree with Shunyi's words." ”
Jiang Shunxin thought that Jiang Shuncheng had already said in the courtyard of the upper room that "Jiang's daughter is not a concubine", but he had to oppose these two, so he naturally stood on his brother's side, "I agree that Jiang's daughter is not a concubine." ”
In Jiang Shunhong and Jiang Shunyi's view, the daughter should make some sacrifices for the family, as long as that person's human rights are strong enough, she will be a concubine, and there is nothing wrong with it.
There are four people in the Shunzi generation, two are against and two are in favor.
Jiang Shuncheng asked a few people from the scholarly generation again, and almost all of them in Xiazhuang supported Jiang Shunyi, and there were many people in Shangzhuang who supported Jiang Shunyi's opinion.
The Jiang family's sons and daughters do not accept concubines, which is harsh enough in their opinion, but this is set by the ancestors, but now they have to make new rules, and if they can speak, they naturally have to seek the greatest benefits for themselves.
In the clan, there was a daughter who married Jin Yanghou as a concubine, and she helped them a lot, if you support Jiang Shuncheng, wouldn't you have to cut off relations with her.
Jiang Shuncheng sighed, "Since everyone is against it, this article is not part of the clan rules and ancestral teachings." But we, the people of the house, still have to obey. Second brother, I will enter the family rules when I see it. ”
Jiang Shunxin echoed: "Brother is right, I listen to you." ”
Everyone discussed in the Jiang ancestral hall until the second watch and two o'clock at night, and only then did they finish interpreting a copy of "Xiling Jiang's Ancestral Teachings", and where everyone thought it was inappropriate, Jiang Chuanliang took a note.
That night, Jiang Shuncheng led Jiang Chuanliang to revise the "Xiling Jiang Ancestral Teachings" and re-check the proofreading, and was quite satisfied, and was busy until most of the night, and then stopped.
On April 20, the Zhao family returned to the door of the three dynasties, and Jiang Chuanwen accompanied his newlywed wife back to Zhao's house in Beiwa Town.
The Jiang ancestral hall was very lively, the men sat in the main hall of the ancestral hall, and the women gathered in the courtyard outside the hall gate, talking a lot.
Jiang Chuanliang recited the "Xiling Jiang Ancestral Teachings" in a loud voice, most of which was Jiang Shuncheng's hard work, and some of them were the result of discussions with his clansmen yesterday. The men exchanged heads, and almost all the men in the Jiang clan, especially those under the age of forty, had read books and could read and write, and there were many discussions.
"Xiling Jiang Clan Ancestral Training" was set as a family rule.
However, in the matter of everyone choosing the patriarch, everyone has their own support, and most of them support those who are good friends with them. What's even more interesting is that Jiang Shunxin was unexpectedly defeated, and someone pushed his second son Jiang Shuhai out.
Jiang Shunhong and Jiang Shunyi are both listed, but most people still push Jiang Shuncheng.
Jiang Shuncheng is Wen Zhonghou, although he is a minister, but his children and grandchildren are all officials in the court, and the eldest son and second son are even more literary and martial arts in the court, and the future is limitless in their opinion.
The clansmen thought very simply, as long as Jiang Shuncheng was the patriarch, they would take more care of the clansmen, and when they came back this time, they would take the descendants of the clan to study in the imperial city, even if they were not on the list of the three candidate patriarchs, everyone still shouted that Jiang Shuncheng would be chosen as the patriarch regardless of it.
Jiang Shuncheng said loudly: "This ...... Earlier, I told you that everyone should choose a patriarch in Xiling Township. ”
A young man shouted: "Old Wait, we all believe in you." We choose you, you don't have to shirk! ”
A big family will have a lot of clan affairs, and he is elected as the patriarch, but he is in the imperial city.
Another old man who has passed on the word said loudly: "Uncle Cheng, don't shirk, it's a big deal, let's choose another deputy patriarch, and he will temporarily take care of the patriarch's affairs." ”
Someone shouted: "I choose Uncle Hong!" ”
"I choose Uncle Yi, he is the most courageous."
For a time, there was a lot of gossip in the ancestral hall.
The women stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall and whispered: "I think it is better to choose Jiang Shuhai to succeed, Jiang heirloom is good at reading, and he is the closest to the old master, even if there is something in the clan, it is most appropriate to have him ask for help." ”
The first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the issue of interests.
Although women do not have the right to express their opinions, they can also influence the thoughts of the men in the hall.
Today, all men who are fifteen years old have been summoned to the ancestral hall.
Near noon, Jiang Shuncheng took the position of the patriarch of the Jiang clan in Xiling because he could not resign, and Jiang Shuhai was elected as the deputy patriarch, and when Jiang Shuncheng was not in Jinyang, he handled the affairs of the patriarch on his behalf.
Jiang Shunhong and Jiang Shunyi actually watched the position of patriarch fall to Jiang Shunxin's second son Shuhai, a result that many people did not expect. But Jiang Shuncheng seemed to have expected it early on.
Everyone knows that it is Jiang Shuncheng in name, but in fact, Jiang Shuhai is the patriarch.
Before leaving, Jiang Shuncheng said: "Shuhai, go back and find the descendants who write two words well, and write the "Ancestral Training" on the east wall of the ancestral hall to show future generations. Then pick a few descendants to copy a few times, leave a few copies in the clan, and in the future, if the Jiang family's sons and daughters are eight years old, they will have to memorize the "Ancestral Teachings". ”rs! ~!
