After seeing the second tiger nodding, the old patriarch Gu stopped it with his eyes, but he was shaken his head and refused by the second tiger several times. After a long time, he finally sighed and nodded: "In this case, the old man and the others will have a good talk about this matter with the third prince." ”

He looked at Xie Xiuqi: "Although the Qian Sun clan is a little ignorant of etiquette, after all, she is an ignorant village woman, and her words are still reasonable. The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers have come from this since ancient times, and they are justified. And I, Yuan Song, advocate a gentleman and a daughter. Now, Erhu wants to return the bride price, but it is a little ...... It's even more rude. I don't know if the third prince thinks so? ”

He said in a low voice.

Xie Xiuqi took a noncommittal sip of water, but his face gradually became heavier.

Indeed, in ancient times, the etiquette was strict, and the belief was even more important, which is also present in my own historical knowledge. The bad thing about this matter is that Erhu and his mother were confused for a while, and they have already made a document......

Before he could answer, the second tiger on the side was in a hurry.

"But old patriarch, you grew up watching me. My father died early, my mother brought us up, and San'er is the pearl of my family, I just hope that she can marry a good family in the future, and don't live this kind of hard life like us...... Now it'......"

He interjected sharply.

Before the words were finished, the Qian family on the other side suddenly shouted.

The mother-in-law of the Qian family said proudly: "Isn't my family a good family, although my family is not rich, but it is second to none in Guqian Second Village." Not to mention, the fishing boat rented out by my family alone is a small fleet. Although my youngest son is a little wooden, he is more honest and loyal. Your sister is blessed to marry into my family! ”

The scholar-like Qian family on the side also posted on the side: "And at this time, the marriage contract between your and my two families has been contracted, if Junior Brother Gu wants to go back on it at will, I'm afraid it can't be you who have the final say, and it will be a bigger violation of my country's court etiquette." ”

Patriarch Qian, who had been watching coldly, sneered and snorted: "Although the kid of the Da Zhuang family is a little stupid, it is better than someone recognizing the young master - at least he won't run out and cause trouble, right?" Since you Gu Erhu even recognized such a young master, why did you have such a prejudice against my Qian family? ”

He sneered, his eyes turned around on Xie Xiuqi and Erhu's faces, and the sneer on his face grew.

Old Patriarch Gu sighed faintly on the side.

In fact, in the heart of the old patriarch Gu, he was partial to the Erhu family. Erhu was watched by the old patriarch to grow up, and the old patriarch had a little appreciation for him earlier: he was grateful for his kindness, had a pure temperament, and was a good child.

is a child of the same clan, and he lost his father since he was a child, and his mother struggled to pull his younger sister to grow up, and he followed a benefactor young master but he was also a waste bastard.

And now, his house is leaking and it rains overnight......

It's just that this ritual law cannot be abolished, and the Qian family is even more reasonable......

Old Patriarch Gu thought about it, his face was already full of sympathy, but he had some meaning that he couldn't help.

Erhu was also on the side, although he was extremely angry, but his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

The second tiger lady even hugged San'er, who was a little frightened, and wiped her tears on the side: "That's why you deceived me ignorance and deceived me...... That doesn't count, doesn't count. ”

She kept mourning on the side.

"Yo, my mother's words are wrong." The sharp mother-in-law of the Qian family suddenly picked up the conversation again.

"How can my family deceive you? The matchmaker said that day that she made it clear that if the Gu family did not want to, she could return the bride price in the future - but she didn't say how much she had to return. Your family just wants to destroy it, ignoring the letter and righteousness, and the black and white words are regarded as child's play. For such a bullying of my family, according to the rules, I will have to pay ten times the compensation! ”

The mother-in-law of the Qian family said with her eyebrows fluttering, her eyebrows were full of pride that she had succeeded in her treacherous scheme.

"Exactly." Patriarch Qian also smiled, but turned to the silent Old Patriarch Gu: "Brother Gu, I shouldn't have taken care of the affairs of the nobles, but the eldest lord discussed important matters, but a woman from the Gu Li clan was arguing with reason here, and she actually slandered us and deceived me and ruined the previous promise, what is the reason for this?" ”

When the old patriarch Gu heard this, he immediately glared at the second tiger girl, and his white beard was curled, and he was obviously extremely angry.

Patriarch Qian laughed, seeing the appearance of Old Patriarch Gu, his heart was already happy.

This old man Gu is a few years old because he is weak, he is highly respected in the place, he is not comparable, in the past, the two clans of Qian and Gu occasionally had disagreements, but he was pressed by the old man Gu, and he didn't want to turn over today.

The old man squinted at his beard and thought triumphantly.

Seeing this, the Qian family on the side was already full of momentum, and they all shouted one after another, but no one noticed that when Xie Xiuqi on the side heard the words "big man" from the Qian patriarch, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The young man thought quickly, but his eyes gradually cleared.

The sharp mother-in-law of the Qian family on the side couldn't wait to conclude her sentence: "That's it, if the Gu family can come up with ten times the bride price to make amends today, then my family will be fine." ”

"Otherwise, my family will take my daughter-in-law home today to raise her - such a family that does not know what etiquette is, and my daughter-in-law is raised in his house, but I am really not at ease, I am afraid that they will teach my beloved daughter-in-law badly...... And who knows when they'll regret it again? People say, isn't it? ”

"Exactly!" "As it should be!" The Qian crowd immediately shouted.

Everyone in Gujia Village was full of anger, but there were also many gloom. Old Patriarch Gu closed his eyes and sighed.

The teeth of the two tigers were gritted, and their faces were already blue.

When the second tiger mother heard this, she immediately hugged her daughter in her arms, and there were tears on her old face, and the little girl Gu San'er cried in her mother's arms.

An Qian looked at Xie Xiuqi nervously, seeing that he had been silent, but a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he was also anxious.

Seeing that the mother-in-law of the Qian family had rushed in to take San'er from the arms of the second tiger lady, the little girl gritted her teeth and opened her arms to block the second tiger girl.

"Get out of here!" The mother-in-law of the Qian family shouted sharply.

Then, she looked An Qian up and down, and a hint of banter appeared in her eyes: "The little lady is also moved, but she wants to marry into my family together?" I'm sorry, you're so weird-looking, even if it's a concubine for the boss of my family, you can't do it - I'm afraid you'll mess with my family's bloodline! ”

She screeched, and the crowd burst into laughter.

"You! Shame on you! An Qi's face was flushed, and there were tears rolling in her beautiful blue eyes.

In the midst of her anxiety and anger, a clear voice came from behind her.

"An, get out of the way."

An Qian looked back, but it was his young master who had already stood up, smiling at him, but his face was full of light and breeze.

"Young master, they want to snatch San'er...... Can you really bear it......" An Qian immediately wiped away her tears and said hurriedly.

Didn't he change back again? How long has it been...... I knew it was so bizarre that he must have lied to me...... How could I believe his nonsense, but tell Erhu about it, so that Erhu also believed it at this time, and let him call the shots......

The little girl was very annoyed for a while.

Xie Xiuqi smiled, but he didn't ask An Qian to give in again, but just turned to the patriarch of the Qian clan, who had been stroking his beard and watching coldly: "Patriarch Qian, right?" ”

He asked with a smile.

"Exactly."

Patriarch Qian laughed secretly. Seeing that the matter is urgent, do you want to ask the old man to intercede? Come on, come and beg the old man, if you ask enough, the old man will naturally ...... Reject yours.

The old man sat proudly, but he squinted at Xie Xiuqi and said proudly.

Xie Xiuqi smiled again: "Patriarch Qian is highly respected, and he is familiar with etiquette, I don't know?" ”

"That's nature." Patriarch Qian said proudly. Then, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes - he asked what was he doing here? is still smiling, and the look on his face, somehow at the beginning, it always makes people a little panicked.

The smile on Xie Xiuqi's face became more and more prosperous: "Then the Qian patriarch must know a lot about women's three obedience and four virtues, and there is no criticism at all?" ”

"That's the golden rule." Patriarch Qian said quietly.

I'd like to see what kind of medicine you're selling in your gourd. The old man thought to himself.

Xie Xiuqi nodded, but he glanced at Erhu Niang, and then turned to Patriarch Qian: "The Gu Li family married into the Gu family, but it's a pity that the husband died early." According to the principle of three subordination, the father is obeyed at home, the husband is married to the husband, and the husband is subordinate to the son when he dies...... Now, who should she follow? ”

Patriarch Qian was a little inexplicable: "That's his son Gu Erhu...... You ask what he is doing, is it because he wants to take care of the left and right? I'm afraid this will drag on for a while, but it won't even drag on for half a day......"

He chuckled.

The room full of people was also puzzled, but they calmed down and looked at Xie Xiuqi in unison.

I saw that the smile on the young man's face was getting bigger and bigger: "It turns out that you always think so...... I suddenly wondered, if the parents' orders conflict with the three obedience and four virtues...... What should I do? ”

"Now it's ...... Who should be the head of the family in the Erhu family? Who should have the final say on the marriage of the sister of the two tigers? ”

He asked leisurely.

Patriarch Qian was stunned, and suddenly, his face changed greatly.

With a bang, the old patriarch Gu on the side suddenly stood up.

The rest of the people were full of confusion, but they heard Xie Xiuqi look at them leisurely again: "Everyone, is it ...... your family?" Isn't it a man who has the final say? When will the ride on your head? If you admit it, I, Xie Xiuqi, didn't say a word, turned around and left. ”

"But if you don't admit ......"

The young man sneered: "Then we have to talk about it...... Gu Li's husband is especially dead, she is an ignorant woman, why is she the master of the family? The marriage contract of the Gu family's daughter did not have the permission of the head of the Gu family, why is that waste paper valid? ”

The young man asked in a sonorous voice.
