For Ouyang Ling's eldest mother, Lu Yao didn't pay too much attention, and followed Ouyang Ling to a hall, at this time, there were many people sitting or standing in the hall, men and women, old and young.

The older ones basically sit, and the younger ones basically stand, and when Ouyang Ling and Lu Yao walked into the hall, everyone threw them with good or disgusted looks. The expression on the face of an elderly man in his seventies was very flat, as if he had not seen the two of them.

"Ling'er is back!" An elderly man in his fifties on the right hand side of the old man saw Ouyang Ling and Lu Yao walk in, and said with a smile.

"Father, the child is back." Ouyang Ling hurriedly saluted the other party and replied. Then he hurriedly walked to the old man and knelt down, kowtowed, and greeted: "Grandpa, Ling'er has given you a greeting." ”

"Sit down!" The old man was still without joy or sorrow, and said casually, but his next second was to surprise Lu Yao.

The old man then waved, and a solid wood chair that was originally five or six meters away from Ouyang Ling seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, and it "flew" behind Ouyang Ling lightly.

"Thank you, grandpa!" Ouyang Ling thanked her and sat down slowly.

A chair, and the other party's meaning is obvious, it is for Ouyang Ling to sit, and there is no Lu Yao's share, since Lu Yao followed Ouyang Ling into the hall, no one said anything to him at all, treating him as if it was air.

Lu Yao felt uncomfortable, but he didn't have a seizure, after all, this was not his territory, but fortunately, Ouyang Ling still secretly gave him a look and apologized.

"This family gathering is to determine the future heir of our Ouyang family, the stakes are very high, and we must not be sloppy, today I will gather everyone together to discuss the number of candidates, everyone can speak freely if they have ideas, if there is no problem, the matter will be settled, and tomorrow, our whole family will vote." Ouyang Ling's father, Ouyang Yuxuan, glanced at the crowd and said.

It turned out that Ouyang Ling came back this time to participate in the competition for the heir of the family, but why did she bring herself? Lu Yao's heart was full of doubts.

I haven't seen anyone express my opinion for a long time, and an elder on Ouyang Yuxuan's right hand who is almost the same age as him said: "Father, eldest brother, let me tell me what I think, there are now a total of thirty-two young talents in our Ouyang family, but there are not many people who are qualified to participate in this heir competition, Ouyang Bing, Ouyang Dong and Ouyang Xi should be the three most qualified candidates, according to my meaning, it is better to choose one of the three of them, what do you say?" ”

"I don't think so!"

As soon as the former's voice fell, someone immediately stood up to object, this person looked the most similar to the appearance of the old man, except for a terrifying scar on his face, the rest of the place was almost carved out of a mold, even Ouyang Yuxuan was inferior to him, Ouyang Ling whispered to Lu Yao that the first person to speak was her second uncle Ouyang Yuxin, and the person who stood up to oppose was her fourth uncle Ouyang Yujin.

"Oh, if the fourth brother has different opinions, it's better to say it and listen to it, anyway, it's still the stage of discussing the candidates." After Ouyang Yuxin said a word to Ouyang Yujin, he said kindly to the juniors present: "If you have any opinions, you can also talk about it, it is related to the future of the Ouyang family, you can all speak freely." ”

This sentence caused a lot of repercussions in the crowd, the young descendants began to whisper, Ouyang Yujin coughed lightly, and the hall was quiet again, he looked at Ouyang Yuxuan and Ouyang Yuxin and said: "Ouyang Bing, Ouyang Dong and Ouyang Xi are indeed very good, but I think Ouyang Tu is also very good, Ouyang Bing is the eldest son and eldest grandson, Ouyang Dong is the second brother your child, Ouyang Xi is my son, although Ouyang Tu's father is no longer there, but I feel that he is also qualified to participate in the selection of heirs." ”

Ouyang Ling whispered to Lu Yao that it turned out that Ouyang Ling's third uncle had traveled west because of his practice, and at present, there were only three brothers in his father in the older generation, and it was also for this reason that Ouyang Tu, the son of the third uncle, had not been very popular in the Ouyang family over the years, except for the fourth uncle Ouyang Yujin who was better to him, everyone else was unwilling to associate with him.

At this time, Ouyang Yujin proposed that Ouyang Tu should also participate in the selection of the heir, which caused many people to discuss.

All of a sudden, both the younger generations and the elders began to whisper about this proposal. Although the selection of the heirs of the Ouyang family this time is only selected from the descendants of the lineage, some elders of the side line are also involved, although they and their heirs are not qualified to participate in the selection, but their opinions are also very important, after all, the selected heirs will have to manage the members of the entire Ouyang family in the future.

"I don't agree with the fourth brother's statement, Ouyang Tu has made any contributions to the entire Ouyang family in addition to being idle over the years, and I want to include him as a candidate for heir, I am the first to disagree." One of Ouyang Ling's distant uncles was the first to stand up and voice his objections.

This distant uncle was the first person to eat crabs, and then someone began to review, especially when they saw Ouyang Yuxuan and Ouyang Yuxin showing a smile on their faces after listening to the words of this distant uncle, they were even more scrambling to get up, lest they fall behind.

"I agree, even if Ouyang Ling and Ouyang Yan participate in the selection, I agree, but Ouyang Tu can't." Ouyang Ling's other distant cousin also stood up against it.

"I don't agree with that either."

"I agree with the words of the fifth uncle, I would rather vote for Ouyang Ling and Ouyang Yan than vote for Ouyang Tu, he eats Ouyang's family, wears Ouyang's family, and uses Ouyang's family, but he has never made a contribution to the family, and now I don't agree with him."

“……”

For a while, both the elders and the younger generations were opposed to Ouyang Yujin's proposal, although Lu Yao had never seen Ouyang Tu, and he couldn't tell who Ouyang Tu was from the people present, but he could feel that this Ouyang Tu was very unpopular, and even made everyone present a little disgusted.

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing!" Ouyang Yuxuan saw that everyone was very opposed to whether Ouyang Tu was qualified to participate in the selection of the heir, and even some people were a little emotional, patted the table next to him, snorted lightly, and then turned to look at the old man beside him, and respectfully asked: "Father, what do you think about Ouyang Tu?" ”

"Tu'er doesn't participate in the selection of heirs, which may be a good thing for himself." The old man said slowly: "However, what Xiao Ding said just now also makes sense, so it's better to let Ouyang Ling and Ouyang Yan also participate in the selection!" ”

"This ......"

The old man's words made the young man who claimed to support Ouyang Ling and Ouyang Yan rather than Ouyang Tu just now, he didn't know if he should slap himself with a big mouth, saying something bad, he had to say this, now it's okay, lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, in a word, it made many people unhappy.

"Father is right, Ouyang Yan is the daughter of the third brother, she is eligible to run, Ling'er is the daughter of the eldest brother, she is more qualified, I agree." Ouyang Yujin was originally depressed because everyone opposed his proposal for Ouyang Tu to run, but at this time, when he saw the old man naming Ouyang Ling and Ouyang Yan to run for election, the depression in his heart was swept away.

"Father, it's okay for Yan'er to run for election, but Ling'er can't." Ouyang Yuxuan became the first person to stand up and object, he looked at his father and said: "The ancestor of the Ouyang family has a word first, all women must be married or close to married to participate in the selection of heirs, and more importantly, the man is willing to join my Ouyang family, and the young talents who have contributed to my Ouyang family, Yan'er and her husband have been accepted by everyone, but Ling'er has not yet had a crush, I'm afraid this won't work, right?" ”

"Young man, what's your name, and what's your relationship with our Ling'er?" The old man ignored Ouyang Yuxuan's words, but looked at Lu Yao and asked.

Lu Yao didn't expect that the Ouyang family still had such a funny ancestral training, and he didn't expect Ouyang Ling to let herself pretend to be her boyfriend have such a layer of intention, obviously Ouyang Ling herself really wanted to participate in the selection of the heir, otherwise she would not have brought herself to this kind of party, and after thinking about it, since she had already promised others, she naturally wanted to cooperate with her to act in this play.

"Back to the old man, my name is Lu Yao, and I am Ling'er's boyfriend." Lu Yao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Boyfriend?"

"Ling'er, is that so?"

Lu Yao's answer was like a boulder that had lost a pool of stagnant water, and it instantly stirred up a wave, many people had a strong skepticism about Lu Yao's words, and even Ouyang Ling's father, Ouyang Yuxuan, didn't want to believe such a fact, and asked with an ugly face.

"Father, Lu Yao and I are indeed boyfriend and girlfriend, and I think if you and Grandpa agree, we can get married soon." Ouyang Ling's face was red and out of breath, and she replied calmly.

When Lu Yao heard Ouyang Ling's words, he was no longer calm, and said to Ouyang Ling: "Nani, you still want to get married, haven't you told me about this?" ”

"Help!" Ouyang Ling replied to Lu Yao with her talking eyes.

Ouyang Ling's words made Ouyang Yuxuan speechless, although he was Ouyang Ling's father, it was not good for him to stand up directly against it on this occasion, otherwise everyone would question his intention to do so.

"Lu Yao, right?" Ouyang Yuxin had been carefully observing Lu Yao's expression, wanting to find any clues from it, but what disappointed him was that with his experience, he found nothing, so he had to smile and ask Lu Yao: "How long have you known Ling'er, did you know her true identity before?" ”
