Lin Ruan shook his head: "Old lady, in fact, you know very well in your heart that the patriarch and the clan elders have agreed to the succession, and it will not be your turn to speak in this matter." You came to make trouble, just to tie my father with the affection of mother and son and make him change his mind. But don't bother with that, even if you do make my dad change his mind, you won't take advantage of it. What kind of person am I, you should know very well, you think, I will let you take advantage of my father? ”

Lao Wang's face trembled: "It doesn't matter if you take advantage of it or not, as long as it can make your father feel bad, I will be happy in my heart." He's not happy, you don't want to please! ”

The green calyx didn't know where it came from, and said in a cold voice: "This old lady, standing in front of you is the county lord of the imperial court, don't think that you can casually squirt feces with your mouth full of feces if you occupy the position of an elder, not to mention that you are not an elder here." If you don't know the rules, I don't mind teaching you myself. ”

As he spoke, Lu Cao looked at Lin Ruan expectantly, and just waited for the master's order to teach the rules.

Lin Ruan waved his hand at her, and then continued: "Old lady, don't think that you are acting bravely here, it will not have any effect on me. You have the leisure to sing a big show here, so you might as well quickly find a way back for yourself. My father, don't count on it in your life, even if you don't succeed, we have a way to keep him away from you. Instead of putting your hope in my father, it is safest to go to your daughter who is a noble lady. ”

Hearing Lin Ruan mention his daughter Lin Xiang'er, Lao Wang's face became even more ugly.

Lin Xiang'er has been away from home for a year, and no news has come back, and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead.

She had actually prepared for the worst in her heart, and her daughter was afraid that she would not be able to come back.

Lin Ruan looked at her like that, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened: "Old lady, don't you know that your good girl really became a noble lady?" Why, for such a big thing, she didn't even send her maid to give you a letter? This Lin Xianger is also too unfilial, she lives a life of fine clothes and food in Qingzhou, and she actually lets her mother live a hard life in this countryside. Old lady, you feel so sorry for her, you are close to her for everything, but she treats you like this, is she cruel, or do you have no way to teach your daughter? ”

Lao Wang didn't hear her words clearly, and only asked excitedly, "What did you say?" Xiang'er, has she become a noble lady? ”

Lin Ruan nodded: "Yes, not only that, she also opened a very magnificent restaurant in Qingzhou City called Miwei Zhai, and the business is so good. The last time I saw her, she was surrounded by slaves, chariots and horses, brocade clothes, and wealth pressed people. ”

Where can the old Wang family still care about the trouble of finding Lin Zhong at this moment. Lin Xiang'er is the meat of her heart, after a year of walking, she can be regarded as having news, and she has become a noble lady, she must go and take a look immediately.

So the old Wang family left the villagers who were still in a state of confusion and ran away in a hurry.

Lin Ruan hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction. I don't know what Lin Xiang'er's reaction will be when she sees Lao Wang?

The king of Chu has such a "mother-in-law", I am afraid that it will be a lot more fun in the future.

As far as the virtue of the old Wang clan is concerned, when he arrives in Qingzhou Village, he will definitely toss a lot of moths. She suddenly wants to watch the play now.

After sending away the old Wang clan, Lin Ruan looked back at the villagers: "Everyone go back first, I have already handled the matter by the patriarch and the clan elders, and I will inform you when the results are available." ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were even more anxious. This is left to the patriarch and the clan elders, so can they still have hope?

But they didn't dare to stay here and not leave, after all, Lin Ruan had spoken, and they didn't have the courage to use their attitude towards Lin Zhong to Lin Ruan.

So even if they were reluctant, the villagers dispersed.

When everyone was finished, Lin Ruan said to Lin Zhong: "Dad, don't think about it, the people over there won't bother you anymore." ”

Lin Han didn't speak, but his eyes were full of light when he looked at Lin Zhong.

Lin Zhong looked at the light, and suddenly felt a trace of satisfaction in his heart.

He finally did something that pleased his children.

In the evening, the patriarch and several clan elders arrived at Lin Ruan's courtyard.

Several people who were two or three hundred years old wanted to salute Lin Ruan, but Lin Ruan hurriedly stopped them and invited them to take a seat.

The patriarch didn't make many detours, and after sitting down, he said: "The candidate for succession has been decided, the fourth son of your third uncle's ancestral family, Guangxian." ”

This name Lin Ruan was very unfamiliar, and he didn't have a trace of impression at all: "Patriarch, isn't there only three clan grandfathers in the third uncle's ancestral family?" ”

The patriarch sighed: "It's normal that you don't know, Guangxian is the son of your third uncle, he is the most righteous and straightforward, and he has a good craft, and the key is to read and write, but unfortunately he got an emergency after less than two years of marriage, and he couldn't leave a man and a woman." Passing your father to his name is also considered to be a legacy for him. Your third uncle said that if you don't ask for it, you won't let the family things cause you trouble, but I hope that in the future, when your father celebrates the New Year's holidays, you can burn paper money for your Guangxian grandfather, so that he can have a better time below. ”

This request was nothing to Lin Ruan.

She originally thought that eighty percent of the clan would find a couple without a son, but she didn't expect to find such a person.

has passed away, so naturally there will be no trouble in supporting the elderly with filial piety in the future, plus Lin Ruan has a good impression of the third uncle, so this successor is simply perfect.

Turning his head to look at Lin Zhong, who had not spoken, he asked, "Dad, what do you mean?" ”

Lin Zhong nodded: "It's good." ”

So, the matter was decided.

Because of the urgency of time, the next day, Lin Zhong transferred the household registration to the third uncle's ancestral house under the auspices of the clan, and at the same time, the family tree was also changed.

When the two most important things were done, the patriarch announced to the public who Lin Zhong would succeed.

At that moment, there was another tremor in the village.

No one caught it, but no one said anything.

After all, the third uncle is the most respected person in this Lin family village, and even the patriarch has to be polite to him. Besides, Lin Guangxian has been dead for decades, and when he succeeds to his name, he just occupies a name.

They didn't take advantage of it, and others couldn't take advantage of it, and the people in the village were extremely harmonious for a while.

Originally, if the succession matter had to be handled carefully, it would be a very troublesome matter, but the patriarch and the clan elders clearly knew the inside story, so everything was simple, and only let Lin Zhong take Lin Han and Xiuxiu to Lin Guangxian's grave to incense, and kowtow to the third uncle and ancestor, and the matter was over.

Since then, Lin Zhong's branch has become the fourth room of the third uncle's ancestral family, and it has nothing to do with the old Wang family.
