The ancestor spoke, but the second cigarette didn't dare not listen, so he called the accompanying little guy and whispered a few words.

"Second brother, there is no concealment in this eight rafters hall, as an elder, have you even forgotten this? Or deliberately bullying my dream girl! The ancestor of the Yan family knocked on the ground with his cane and said angrily.

The second cigarette waved his hand to the little guy, signaling him to run quickly, and then looked at the ancestor with a bitter gourd face.

He had been afraid of his old father since he was a child, and the older he got, the worse it became, not because he was afraid of punishment, but because he was afraid that his elderly father would become ill.

"Dad, how dare I bully Meng'er girl, the ancestors have rules, whoever sits on the chair is in charge, I just secretly told Tong'er to let Qiu Niang hot wine and wait for me."

Yan Lao Zu has a total of five sons, the third died young, the eldest is the father of Yan Qi and Jiuniang, and now he has also passed away, so now only the second, fourth, and fifth are sitting in the eight rafters hall.

These three people all belong to Yan Jiuniang's elders, and it stands to reason that the boss should be elected from among them to be a family member after his death, but none of these three have the mind to be businessmen.

The second is a well-known gourmand in Kyoto; The fourth child is quite cultured, self-sustaining, loves poetry and painting, and does not love copper smell; The fifth child has a soft spot for business, and he is dedicated to competing for the position of being a family member, but he can be cunning, make good use of caution, and basically occupy all the damage and is not atmospheric enough.

Therefore, in comparison, Yan Jiuniang is even more outstanding, especially since she is the daughter of the eldest son of the main wife, so she is more favored by the ancestors.

Ling'er is the daughter of Yan Lao'er, formerly known as Yan Miaoling, a round of Jiuniang at the age of Jiuniang, the third oldest in the clan, known as Lingsan'er when he was in the pavilion, but now he is a concubine, and he gave birth to a dragon son for Huizong, and he is in the limelight.

In the Yan family, only the ancestor is still called Ling'er, that is, the biological father Yan Er, and when it comes to his daughter, he is also called Shufei Niangniang.

"Dad, for the sake of a wild boy, is it worth the painstaking effort?" Yan Lao Wu lost no time in interjecting.

Hearing the fifth uncle call her future husband a wild boy, Yan Jiuniang immediately felt displeased, but with the ancestor here, it was not her turn to defend herself, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

"The fifth, the fifth, how can you live so old, I don't know how to respect people, they are all raised by my parents, which one is a wild boy."

The old ancestor of the Yan family shook his beard a few times, and he looked like he hated iron but not steel, and then said:

"Even if one of you can support the smoke family, my dream girl will already be married, why bother sitting here and listening to your criticism."

Yan Lao Wu was unconvinced: "Meng'er girl is indeed capable, but after all, she is marrying, not marrying, and in a few years, you will be gone, Na Ye ...... The kid surnamed Li is a backbone, and if he can't keep it, he will turn the tobacco industry into the Li family, and let us drink the northwest wind when the time comes. ”

Bang!

The second brother of Yan is the most filial, and when he heard the fifth brother's disrespectful words, he knocked down the table heavily and scolded: "Fifth brother, how can you talk to your father!" ”

Yan Lao Wu was so frightened that he shrank his neck, this second brother can't afford to offend, the two sons are officials, the daughter is a concubine, and the existing official backer of the Yan family has to rely on other people's branches.

"Okay, second, what the fifth said is not unreasonable. In big things, I don't favor any one person or any branch. You are all my sons, grandchildren, granddaughters, and what I want to do is to bring this family together, not to be divided and separated. ”

Old Ancestor paused, and said in a softened tone: "Meng'er girl, you can say a few words about the question raised by your fifth uncle." ”

Although Jiuniang was sitting on the chair of Zhongquan, her heart had already flown to Li Yan in Yanggu County, and she only hoped that the news from the palace would be sent back soon, and she could plan what to do next.

Hearing her grandfather ask her to speak by name, she reluctantly squeezed out a smile at the uncles, and pondered: "Meng'er would never do such a thing, and Li Yan would not do that." ”

A very unconvincing sentence.

Lao Wu continued to ask: "Girl, you said you wouldn't, we believe it, uncles all watched you grow up." If the surname Li can't, I don't believe the fifth uncle. What did you see what he did in Yanggu County? swallowed several big households one after another, a lesson from the past! Dream girl, wake up, don't think about that kid, the fifth uncle will find you a good one again. ”

Obviously, Yan Lao Wu's words were to the point, and even Yan Lao Er, who had always maintained Jiu Niang, echoed him, and the Eight Rafter Hall became chaotic.

Ahem......

"Elders, Rong Xiaoqi has a word."

Yan Qi was lying in a wheelchair on the side, his condition was getting worse and worse, and now he couldn't even stand up, his face was pale and weak, as if he was about to die, but when he saw his sister-in-law's sad face, he raised all his strength and wanted to defend his sister-in-law.

The ancestor knocked on the dragon head in his hand and said, "Be quiet, listen to Xiao Qi." ”

When the hall was quiet, Yan Qi struggled to sit up, but Rao tried his best and didn't move a bit, but instead caused a violent cough.

For this grandson, the ancestor of the Yan family can be described as loving and hating.

Yan Qi's appearance is undoubtedly the most top-notch in the third generation of the Yan family, and it is also the closest to the ancestor.

He grew up with his ancestor since he was a child, and his ancestor's words and deeds, the two ancestors and grandchildren are nine points similar, including being romantic when they grow up, and they also have the true heritage of their ancestors.

is so sympathetic, so it is even more spoiled, so it will be unscrupulous and misbehaving, resulting in the sick body now, if I can stop it in time, it will not be like this.

Old Ancestor still blames himself a little for Yan Qi.

"Ahem...... Grandpa, elders, Xiao Qi is willing to use his life to guarantee that Meng'er and Li Yan will never do anything that is not good for the Yan family, cough cough, I have met him, this person has a flexible mind, courage, morality, and affection, and will never be as the fifth uncle thinks, so, cough cough ......"

Old Ancestor sighed lightly and said, "Needless to say, everyone understands your consciousness, go back and rest, with grandpa here, you can rest assured, no one can bully your sister." ”

After that, two servants walked up, pushed the smoke out of the eight rafters, and listened to the coughing sound getting farther and farther away, and everyone in the hall shook their heads and sighed.

At this time, a small servant held a scroll in his hand, ran into the eight rafters hall, respectfully handed it to the second Yan, and said, "News from the palace." ”

The second cigarette asked, "Why is it so fast?" ”

The little guy said: "Back to the lord's father, before the hostess left, the lady concubine Niangniang took the first step to hand over the news to Xiao Linzi, saying that it was for the ninth aunt and grandmother." ”

Yan Lao Er handed the scroll to Yan Jiuniang and said, "Since it is for you, it is not easy for the second uncle to be an elder first." ”

Yan Jiuniang hurriedly took it, knowing that this matter must be related to Li Yan, because she had only entered the palace not long ago to see the third sister, and told her sister about Yanggu County.

hurriedly opened the scroll, and sure enough, as expected, Concubine Shuniang wrote the content of the holy decree in its original form, and also attached her analysis, saying that she was very optimistic about the future aunt of the Yan family.

Yan Jiuniang's heart instantly relaxed, and the expression on her face was undisguised and smiled.

Seeing that his baby granddaughter was smiling so happily, the ancestor also stroked his gray beard and smiled with relief.

Yan Jiuniang looked at it, handed the scroll to the second uncle, and the second Yan also leaked a smile after reading it, got up and handed it to his father.

"Oh, what are you doing when you pass it around, the old man's eyes can still see it clearly, the second brother gave it to me, and I just read it out." Yan Laosi said impatiently.

Yan Lao's face sank and said: "I see that this is called a family letter, and when I read it, it is Yi's will, and you want my father to kneel down and listen to it." ”

Yan Lao Si was reprimanded, lowered his head and played with the wrench in his hand, and said no more.

"Haha." Old Man Yan smiled: "I don't have to look at it, I can guess what Ling'er girl wrote, it must be to let Meng'er girl marry Li Xiaozi earlier, yes or no?" ”

"Grandpa......" Yan Jiuniang said coquettishly with a red face.

Just when everyone was smiling, Yan Lao Wu had a straight face, he thought that in terms of business ability, except for the eldest brother, no one in the Yan family could beat him.

After the death of the eldest brother, it must be himself who sits in the middle of the power chair, but he just killed a Yan Jiuniang, he was very unconvinced, thinking that a woman is a woman, no matter how strong her ability is, she will eventually get married.

"Dad, brothers, even if that kid is pardoned, it can only be said that it will not affect my Yan family, but in the end, the problem has not been solved. Meng'er girl, the fifth uncle's words below are a little unpleasant, don't take it to heart, you know that I have always been right about things and not people. "Smoke old five.

Jiuniang is in a good mood now, her spirit and agility have also recovered as before, and she said with a smile: "Although the fifth uncle said that Meng'er is still young, and her experience and experience are not as good as your uncles, Meng'er sits on this chair and knows that the responsibility is heavy, if you do something wrong, please tell me bluntly, Meng'er must accept it humbly." ”

The sudden change made Yan Lao Wu stunned for a moment, and Yan Jiuniang revealed an extremely confident temperament, which made him instantly feel a strong sense of oppression.

This feeling is just like when the eldest brother was alive, which makes him worry everywhere, for fear that if he is not careful, he will be served by the eldest brother's family law.

He stabilized his mind, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and said loudly: "Meng'er girl, I admit that you are a good hand in business, but you are a girl after all, you are going to marry into his Li family. If we don't give a solution to this matter, I don't agree with Uncle Five. ”

"Presumably, the fifth uncle already has a way, why don't you just say it." Yan Jiuniang said with a smile.

Yan Lao Wu tilted his head, full of ruffianism, and said: "Yes, what the fifth uncle means is that you won't marry anyone in your life......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw his father's dragon head crutch flying, he was also dexterous, his body was weak, and he hid directly under the table.

Bang.

The solid wooden crutches carried the sound of the wind, and smashed it impartially on the position where he was sitting just now, and shouted with a crying voice: "Old man, you want to smash me." ”

Old Man Yan pointed at him with his finger, trembling with anger, and said, "Son, did you say this kind of thing as an uncle!" I'm all panicked for you, get out of the smoker's house for me, and don't take a penny from the smoker's house from now on, get out, get out! ”
