Chapter 425: On the Importance of Status
Chapter 425 on the Importance of Status
"Nonsense, you pushed me."
The girl was a little reluctant. Maybe it's because her grandfather is an elder above. But Shang Ruonan stood there very coldly, the girl shouted and accused Shang Ruonan, and the other girls and their parents also accused.
Shang Ruonan only saluted the patriarch and elders above, and said lightly:
"Look, everyone, I'm only so tall, this girl is nearly half a head taller than me, and her body is much stronger than mine, not to mention that I can't push her, and the position where she is standing is so far away from mine, even if I stretch out my hand, I can only touch her clothes. Even if I pushed, I could only push her to the side, not forward. Pushing forward is exerting force from behind. I didn't move while I stood here, and I'm sure the patriarchs and elders standing above saw it too. I wasn't there to run. It was she who tried to kick me, but I didn't get a foot on my feet. So he threw down the girls in front of him, one after another. ”
The patriarch on the upper throne was originally half-squinted, but now he is glaring at the boss.
On such occasions, there are not many people who dare to talk like this to the older generation. And it's a girl, who speaks so well. This girl is good.
An elder stood up with a dark face and said:
"Destroying the sacrifice, you still use strong words!"
"Grandfather, she pushed me."
When Shang Ruonan heard that this girl was called the elder grandfather, he suddenly remembered that this elder was the elder invited by the second uncle and aunt last time. The one who was later evicted from his own home.
Shang Ruonan sneered.
"Elder, if you want to say that I am strong, then you can push it and show us, how can I only touch someone with a little finger and still push her from back to front. If you don't believe me, ask this girl where I pushed her. ”
"You're just pushing me in the back."
Shang Ruonan said lightly:
"Then you can tell me clearly, how did I push you in the back? Can my arms stretch out that long? ”
"You're the closest to her, not you or who?"
Qingyun on the tree on the side listened impatiently. A stone quickly popped out, hitting the elder's knee, and the elder also pounced, and knelt down and lay down.
The crowd was amazed. Shang Ruonan also couldn't help laughing:
"Elder, look at you. Did the patriarch closest to you push you? I think that your family has been cared for by your ancestors and ancestors today. I want you to prostrate two more times. ”
When the others heard this, they all laughed.
Although the patriarch didn't see how this elder fell, he also knew that this matter could not be entangled any longer. So he said:
"Where is this little girl?"
Shang Dongliang was in a hurry. First, I am worried that something will happen to my daughter, and second, I am afraid that today's major event will offend these elders, and I am afraid that it will not be good. This is the clan.
Hearing the patriarch ask this, he hurriedly stood up and said:
"Patriarch Hui, this is the fourth girl in my family!"
"Oh? Is that the girl you said last time you came back to be the young head of the family? ”
"Yes, Patriarch. Then she was engaged to the little Marquis of Murong Murong's family in Beijing. ”
Shang Dongliang moved Murong Qing out because he wanted the patriarch to pay attention to Shang Ruonan's current identity, but it was not easy to offend.
And when the patriarch heard that Shang Ruonan was engaged to Hou Ye, he sighed secretly:
No wonder, this girl can be looked at by the Hou family at such a young age. ’61
Originally, some people in the clan laughed at Shang Dongliang's person who only gave birth to a daughter, but now that he heard that this daughter of the family will be Mrs. Hou in the future, they all looked at it differently.
The patriarch frowned and said:
"There is a girl who is engaged to the Hou family, why don't you talk to the clan earlier."
Shang Dongliang responded:
"This is the fourth daughter Shang Ruonan, the eldest daughter was originally engaged to the second young master of Zhenxi Hou, and later, because the second young master shouldered three rooms, the emperor gave the title of Chengde Hou, so now the eldest daughter Nianlan is also engaged to the Hou Ye."
This is not Shang Dongliang wanting to show off, this is also a fact, don't say it, I'm afraid that I am hiding it, I said it, the two daughters were ordered to the two marquis. Isn't this showmanship?
As soon as he said this, even the patriarch was moved, and took a step forward and said:
"So, two daughters of your family are engaged to the Hou family? It's all the main room! ”
Shang Dongliang nodded!
Shang Ruonan replied on the side:
"Grandpa Hui, a merchant girl, will never be a concubine!"
"Good! This is a long face for the clan, and our merchant has produced two Mrs. Hou in a row! ”
And the elder who came out to accuse Shang Ruonan just now had a very ugly face now. In fact, he had known for a long time that the merchant had dealings with the two Hou families. If it wasn't for that Murong Marquis last time, wouldn't what they wanted to do already be done?
But now I heard that the Hou Ye actually took a fancy to these little things. I really don't know what kind of vision Hou Ye has.
But now there was no reason to pay attention to him. The patriarch directly called Shang Ruonan to the front. accused the elder's granddaughter of making trouble in front of the ancestral hall, and ordered her to go back to confinement and think that she would not be included in the family tree this year.
The elder and the elder's wife were frightened. This kind of thing spreads, and this girl will not be able to get engaged in the future. But the patriarch firmly disagreed with her in the genealogy.
As a result, when the girl heard that she could not be included in the genealogy, she burst into tears and cried:
"Grandmother, it's all you. It's up to you for me to trip her. Now I can't be included in the family tree. Everybody was going to laugh at me. ”
What else is there to say?
The elder's wife looked embarrassed, raised her hand and slapped the little girl and scolded:
"Little slut, what nonsense are you talking about? Why did I tell you to trip her up? ”
"It's you, you said that last time your grandfather didn't get the money, it's because of this girl."
The patriarch's face was even more ugly. What does this mean, and what else do you not know?
Shang Ruonan is not a master who can spare people, as long as you offend her, as long as you have the opportunity in the future, she will definitely step on you.
So, Shang Ruonan stepped forward again and replied:
"Patriarch Hui, grandfather, I remember one thing, I'm afraid that the elders of this girl's family have a grudge because of this."
So, in order to get the promise of money from the second room of the merchant, the elder joined forces with the second room of the merchant to bully his own family, and explained that the Marquis of Murong and the Marquis of Chengde were present at that time.
Such an addition can make the patriarch angry. This is ruining the reputation of the clan outside. I really want to be an elder of my own clan! These messages are kept from themselves.
The patriarch said angrily:
"In the future, you don't want to say that you are the old man of the merchant! I'm a lot older. Go back and think about it behind closed doors, I will record the lineage of your family here, if anyone commits anything in the future, I will remove your family! Bad for the reputation of my people. He is a sinner of the tribe! ”
