Chapter 4: Character
The dream turned into a frightening dream, screaming that the witch who woke up, and before she had time to recall everything that happened in the dream, she was freshened up by the little maid who broke into the door, and then she was taken to the living room in front of the mountain by her father's personal guards.
On the way, she tentatively asked what was going on, and she had to "invite" her in such a humiliating way, but the two guards didn't say anything, but the speed under their feet was a little faster.
When he arrived at the meeting room, he saw that all the elders of the Wu clan and the seniors with heads and faces were there, and the witch demon chuckled in his heart, looked at Wu Ming on the main seat vigilantly, and asked, "Old man, what are you doing?" Want to hold three sessions to close my confinement? ”
"What nonsense, is your father and I like that?" Wu Ming glared at her, angry.
"It's not three sessions, so why do all the seniors get together?" Wu Xie secretly moved to the Great Elder, this is the elder who loves her the most, when she was a child, she secretly took scissors to cut his braids, and nothing happened, so she naturally leaned towards him, if her father really wanted to teach people, she would immediately pull a good shield.
"It's not because of you."
"Because of me? What I have done is worthy of the efforts of my predecessors. The witch shook her head frantically, although she had the urge to slash her father, but she didn't do that bastard thing, so she resolutely refused to admit this crime.
"You said, did you force the Wei family's father and son away last night."
"Huh?" How is this?
The witch blinked, a little confused.
Although the Wei family and the Wu clan are world friends, the father and son of the Wei family are outsiders after all, even if she uses a sword to cut those two, as long as the Wei family does not attack the mountain, it is not worth alarming all the predecessors of the Wu clan.
Got a positive answer from Wu Xie's reaction, Wu Ming pointed at her and said several words "you", angry and incoherent, but the Great Elder, who had already figured out Wu Xie's thoughts, motioned for her to sit down next to her: "Do you know, who are the Wei family's father and son?" ”
"Yes." The witch nodded.
The Great Elder continued: "Then do you know why your mother would marry you and the young master of the Wei family?" ”
"My marriage contract with the sissy of the Wei family was made by my mother?" Wu Xie was taken aback, and the last scene in the dream suddenly appeared in her mind, the peach blossom that her mother handed her, she didn't catch it yet, so she went straight to it.
"Yes, in order to settle this family business, Madame took a lot of effort back then." Speaking of the original match, Wu Ming suddenly collapsed on the chair softly like a frosted eggplant.
Seeing the sadness flashing in his father's eyes, Wu Xie squinted, a little in a trance, and couldn't tell Wu Ming's true feelings for a while.
"Although our clan and the Wei family are both eight families, the friendship of the ancestors has not been much weight until now, how can my mother spend effort to let me marry the Wei family, and I still use the method of marriage by fingertips."
"That's not because you committed Lone Star, if you don't change your life against the sky in this way, you don't want to marry in this life." Speaking of this, Wu Ming became angry again.
In fact, this fingertip is married, and it is not necessary to find the Wei family, but his wife, who thinks about 100% interests in everything, for the happiness of her daughter, and in order to improve the relationship between the Wu clan and other families, she chooses to choose the boy of the Wei family.
In this situation, Wu Ming guessed that if Mrs. was still there, I am afraid that she would have led people to break into the Wei family a long time ago, and pressed Wei Yuan to come to Lushan to carry the witch evil back.
"What's the Lone Star? What are you talking about, old man? Why can't I understand? "This witch is really blinded, and I don't understand how things are getting more and more mysterious.
Wu Ming glared at her, did not explain her question, but discussed it with all the seniors.
It didn't take long for them to discuss the results.
It's just that the result made the witch a little unacceptable: "Down the mountain? Why did you suddenly let me go down the mountain? I haven't reached the age of eighteen yet, isn't it the rule of our clan that you can go down the mountain to practice? ”
"After this month, you will be seventeen, and you will be eighteen."
"That's right, but the brothers and sisters in the clan who usually go down the mountain to experience are all past their eighteenth birthdays, so it's not good to be in such a hurry to let me go down the mountain and spread it." Compared with other families, the rules of the witch clan are very reasonable, even if the evil star like the witch demon feels that it is too much to break the rules of the clan, so this will want to find a perfect reason.
"The rules are set by people, and now that your mother has set you a kiss has been stirred up, do you want to go down the mountain quickly, do you really want to stay on the mountain for the rest of your life, and let your father and I raise it?"
"Old man, you won't think about driving me down the mountain, and then unscrupulously empathize and don't fall in love!" Wu Xie felt that she had grasped the point, but when she said it, she realized that something was wrong, after all, there were still all the elders of the clan sitting in the hall, and Wu Ming would definitely not hide this kind of mind to calculate her, even if she was a bastard.
"Presumptuous! You're so presumptuous! ”
Sure enough, Wu Ming didn't suppress his anger anymore and vented it directly.
Looking at the wooden table under his hands that was shattered into slag, Wu Xie pursed his lips, rarely lowered his head honestly, and said, "Am I wrong?"
"It's good to know that it's wrong, the patriarch is also for your own good, and the rules in the left and right clans only say that eighteen-year-old disciples need to go down the mountain to practice, and eighteen years old is eighteen, and no one in the clan will object."
The Great Elder spoke, this matter has become a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much reluctance the witch demon has, there will be no chance to protest again.
In order to reflect her identity as the eldest lady of the Wu clan, the great elder naturally handed over the list to her, and also said in a serious tone: "The mountain is not better than the mountain, everything must be thought twice, and you must not be competitive and attract people's attention, you must know that those people under the mountain will not care if you are the eldest lady of the Wu clan." ”
"The witch knows."
"You are a generous child, and you have cultivated your kung fu well, if you encounter danger, you must take care of your fellow disciples."
The Great Elder has always been nagging endlessly, and usually when the witch demon hears the beginning, he will think about what excuse to escape, but now he has no idea at all, just an inexplicable sore nose, and he wants to throw himself into the old man's arms and cry.
"Okay, okay, it's good that the evil child doesn't make trouble for everyone, and the Great Elder still shouldn't put too much pressure on her, lest other disciples be affected by her."
"Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths."
Knowing that there were no good words in her father's mouth, Wu Xie protested vaguely, Wu Ming asked her what she said, and she immediately sat up and waved her hand, saying that she didn't dare to say anything, and she looked like she was listening to the teachings.
After Wu Ming made a fuss, the Great Elder stopped nagging, coughed lightly and stood up: "Since the matter has been decided, we will go back first." ”
"All the elders and seniors are fortunate to come here, and on the day when the evil child comes down the mountain, please come again with great hardship." Wu Ming got up and handed him off.
The witch didn't understand why he had to alarm the seniors when he went down the mountain to practice, so he made a clever mistake, took advantage of the situation to help the great elder, and respectfully sent him out of the living room.
Seeing her thoughts, out of the living room, the Great Elder patted the back of her hand and said, "No need to send it, Little Evil Er should go back and pack her luggage earlier." ”
"There are still ten days left in this month, no hurry, no hurry."
"It's only been ten days, and the little evil child should have a lot to do."
"What can I do?"
"Go and say hello to the ladies, and take care of my younger brothers and sisters, and ......"
"Great Elder, you won't worry about me leaving, my father will really let those people in the Chunguang Building steal my mother's position."
"Don't worry, as long as our old bones are not dead, your mother will always be the wife of the patriarch of our clan, and you will always be the eldest lady of our clan." In the face of this kind of thing, the Great Elder still has the majesty he deserves, but what he wants to tell today is: "Your father is determined to let you go down the mountain this time, let us work hard again, and he is also worried that you will become a deserter halfway, so you still have to pay more attention to the things that should be paid attention to, after all, none of the women in the Chunguang Building are fuel-efficient lamps." ”
"I see."
"Well, think about it yourself, I'll go first."
"Elder walk slowly." Bending down and saluting, he respectfully watched the Great Elder leave, and Wu Xie stood in place and thought for a long time before turning back to the meeting room and staring at Wu Ming.
"That Mrs. Ruan, what is the origin of Daddy really clear?"
In the past Cold War, it was always Wu Ming, the father, who lowered his posture and begged for mercy first, but today it has changed, and before the Cold War reached the critical point, Wu Xie took the lead in opening his mouth.
It was rare to hear her call "Daddy", even if he was offended by her question, Wu Ming's heart was happy: "Naturally, it is clear." ”
"It's good to be clear, my mother left early, and the family really needs a wise housewife, but my father is affectionate and amorous, and some things have to be carefully considered, although Erniang has reached the age of being old and yellow, but she gave birth to the eldest son, as far as my younger brothers and sisters are concerned, only Wu Shi can be of little use."
"Aren't you annoyed that I married the Thirteenth Lady?"
"My mother is right, if my father likes it, we can't stop anything, it's better to follow my father's wishes, but my daughter is about to go down the mountain, and no one can say for sure if she can come back this time, so I patiently said a few words to my father."
"Little evil child, you should know that Daddy is very fond of your mother, if she is still here, I naturally will not marry so many women and come back to compete with her for favor, but she has been gone for too long, and I can't even remember what she looks like."
Wu Ming said very sincerely, so he couldn't believe it.
In fact, she is not qualified to criticize Wu Ming, after all, she can't remember her mother's appearance, but she clearly remembers the tenderness she left behind.
After all, it was a dead person, there was no need to compete with the living person for favor anymore, Wu Xie pursed his lips, feeling that what he wanted to say had been said, so he pondered whether to meet the new Madame Ruan.
I never thought that Wu Ming, who had opened the knot in his heart, would feel that he was a lot closer to his daughter, so he begged inch by inch: "I haven't seen your mother for a few days, why don't you take me to worship?" ”
"It's better for you to go by yourself, why do you need me to bring it."
"I'm not afraid that Madame will be annoyed with me, with you, she will naturally be embarrassed to be angry at me."
"......" Everyone is dead, and you are still afraid of a yarn. Wu Xie couldn't help but roll his eyes, very suspicious of whether Wu Ming liked her mother or was afraid of her mother.
