Zhang An's mother glanced at the men around her, and felt that it was very inappropriate for Xiao Man to stand here as a woman, so she said to Xiao Man: "Su Governor's Mansion, that's the case, the women are all gathered in the back house, you can go to the back house with me at this moment." ”

Xiao Man thought about it, if he was still a lady in the boudoir before, he would naturally go to the back hall and sit with the women to eat, but his current identity is a court official, how can he not sit at the same table with these colleagues and discuss important matters, but go to the back house and listen to the rights and wrongs of the women.

So Xiao Man made a straight face and refused: "Madam, I'm really sorry, my current identity is not just a woman, I am still the prefect of Yuzhou, I should naturally stay here, listen to your colleagues discuss important matters, thank you Mrs. Zhang for your kindness." ”

Hearing that Xiao Man was going to stay in the front hall, Mrs. Zhang's brows furrowed even deeper, and her face began to darken, to say that she had adhered to women's morals for so many years, and she had never seen such a deviant woman as Xiao Man.

So at this time, the voice became louder, as if he deliberately wanted to humiliate Xiaoman.

"What the hell is going on with you woman, let me remind you, you are a daughter's family, so I specially invited you to the back house for a gathering, but you don't appreciate it, you have to mix with these men, you are a woman, such a show, what kind of system, it is really a shame for your family."

Xiaoman didn't expect that this Zhang An's mother was so pedantic that she still treats herself as an ordinary woman.

So Xiaoman's tone also became serious, and he took out his momentum as a prefect, and said to Zhang An's mother: "I said it, my current identity is the crown of the imperial court, and the prefect of Yuzhou, you woman actually dare to accuse the imperial court of being difficult to order officials, do you want me to ask you for the crime?" ”

Although this Zhang An's mother is useless, she has also been the housewife of the Zhang family for so many years, so she is naturally not afraid of Xiaoman at this time, and always thinks that if she is afraid of getting into trouble, she will also have a husband and son to clean up the mess for herself.

And her son is now the overlord of Yuzhou, and his power is better than this Su Xiaoman, Su Xiaoman is just an empty shelf now, so she said to Su Xiaoman: "You still want to arrest me, I kindly remind you to let you go to the back house, but you are shameless, show your face here, if you want me to say, you should be immersed in the pig cage, so that your patriarch can punish you!" ”

Su Xiaoman sneered, to say that the clansmen of his Su family are still in Taoyuan County at this moment, how could they not expect that they would have such a majestic today.

Even if he was so accused by Zhang An's mother, Su Xiaoman did not have a look of fear on his face, and immediately gave Li Ran a color, and said in front of everyone: "Someone, this person dares to insult the imperial court officials with words, arrest her for me, and bring her back to the yamen for trial." ”

Li Ran naturally immediately stretched out his hand and escorted Zhang An's wife, Zhang An saw that his mother was arrested, and there was no panic on his face, but he looked at this scene quite funny.

It seems that the person who was arrested was not his mother, but just a woman at the entrance of the village, and he was also leisurely watching the excitement.

Lu Li was on the side, seeing Xiao Man's decision to kill, he already had the demeanor of a strict official, and he couldn't help but feel a little more proud in his heart.

If you want to say that women who can decide affairs in the backyard, there are many women in the world, and the wife who may have fought side by side with him in the previous dynasty is only Su Xiaoman, which makes Lu Li's love for her a little deeper.

Although Lu Li was dressed as a small servant, Zhang An was thoughtful and quickly captured the love for Xiaoman in Lu Li's eyes.

Looking at Lu Li, this person is very handsome, and there is a kingly air between his eyebrows, which is not worthy of his little clothes at all.

Zhang An squinted his eyes, thought about it, and guessed Lu Li's true identity, and had some ideas in his heart, since the emperor is coming, how can he not entertain him, it seems that today's succession ceremony is a good show.

At this time, Zhang An's mother rolled directly in the middle of the hall, saying that she didn't want to be arrested by Li Ran.

To say that she herself is also the wife of the family, how can she accept such a humiliating thing, seeing that her son was unmoved by his situation, he could only kneel down and beg Su Xiaoman.

said to Su Xiaoman: "I'm sorry, Lord Prefect, it's me who has no eyes, I shouldn't treat you as an ordinary woman, you are our parents in Yuzhou, and we in Yuzhou should naturally listen to you in the future." ”

When Su Xiaoman heard this, he felt very useful, and he was worried that he couldn't give them a disgrace in front of these dignitaries.

Since this Mrs. Zhang is willing to do it for her, she is naturally willing.

Seeing what happened to Mrs. Zhang, these dignitaries and dignitaries next to them were a little faintly worried, thinking that this Su Xiaoman was not a cowardly and incompetent woman, but her eyes seemed to be burning with a flame of fighting spirit.

Such a woman became a prefect, I'm afraid it is not an ordinary trick to deal with, and then look at her methods, it can be said that she is a little ruthless, maybe after she is stable, she will start to gradually clean up Yuzhou.

When the time comes, if anyone in Yuzhou City disobeys her and threatens her, I am afraid that she will get rid of them one by one.

Zhang An frowned and looked at his mother, he didn't expect that his mother was useless at this time, and she looked so cowardly in front of Su Xiaoman, she was no different from a shrew who had suffered a loss.

Looking at her tear-stained face, Zhang An felt disgusted in every way, but in order to save the face of the Zhang family, he still reluctantly stretched out his hand and helped his mother up.

He bowed to Su Xiaoman and said, "Su Zhifu, it's my mother who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and she offended you, and I ask you to ignore the villain, read that she is a first offense, and let her go." ”

Seeing her son, she finally spoke for herself, this Zhang An's mother was like grabbing a life-saving rope, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of Zhang An's clothes, echoing Zhang An's words and said: "Yes, Su Zhifu, you must not be like me, I am a woman and I don't understand anything." ”

Zhang An looked at his mother holding the corner of his clothes, and felt a churning in his stomach, and he wanted to vomit, so he gently slapped it to let his mother let go of her hand.

Although it is said that his mother has the grace of giving birth to him, Zhang An has a quirky temperament and is not close to his relatives, and he has never looked down on the strong in this world, and he naturally despises the role of his mother.

Su Xiaoman is not a very vicious person, since the people of the Zhang family have already made enough face, she naturally let Zhang An's mother go.

So he gave Li Ran another look and asked him to retreat first.

After Li Ran saw Su Xiaoman's eyes, he immediately let go of Zhang An's mother, Zhang An's mother felt that her hand was about to be broken by Li Ran at this time, so she quickly escaped from Li Ran's men, moved her activities, and said to Su Xiaoman: "Su Governor, thank you for sparing me this time, I will never dare to do it again in the future." ”

Su Xiaoman nodded slightly, and looked around at everyone again, at this time, there was a trace of fear of her in everyone's eyes, and after achieving such an effect, Su Xiaoman was satisfied.

At this time, a member of Zhang An's clan next to him said to Zhang An and Zhang An's mother: "Young Master, this auspicious time has come, let's start the succession ceremony." ”

Zhang An nodded, he has been waiting for this day for a long time, and now his name is not right, and it is not convenient to start a war with Su Xiaoman and Du Yue, the two prefects, and when he really inherits the patriarch, he can control the entire family, I am afraid that Su Xiaoman and Du Yue's life will not be so easy.

Just after this ancestor worship ceremony was completed, and the clansmen next to him were about to announce that Zhang An was about to become the new patriarch of the Zhang family, Xiao Man suddenly stood up and said in front of everyone: "Wait, I don't think Zhang An is qualified to become the patriarch of the Zhang family. ”

Hearing Xiaoman say this, Zhang An's mother suddenly became nervous, staring at Su Xiaoman, as if hoping that Su Xiaoman would shut up immediately.

But Zhang An looked at Su Xiaoman with a smile, he knew that Su Xiaoman, a woman, would definitely not let him down, if Su Xiaoman really watched him inherit the position of patriarch, but did not make any action, then it was not the Su Xiaoman he liked.

Zhang An's mother said angrily to Su Xiaoman: "Governor Su, we invited you to come to watch the ceremony, not to let you make trouble, tell me, why can't my son inherit the position of the patriarch of the Zhang family?" ”

Su Xiaoman looked at Zhang An's mother and said lightly: "Because he doesn't have a token of your Zhang family patriarch, isn't he?" ”

Hearing Su Xiaoman say this, the people below began to have some discussions, they have been in Yuzhou for a long time, so they naturally know that the patriarch of the Zhang family has a ring that has been passed down from generation to generation, but at this time, since Zhang An wants to inherit the position of the patriarch, it is indeed a little strange that he failed to take out the ring.

was told by Su Xiaoman about his heart, this Zhang An's mother instantly turned red, the whole person was like a boiled crab, and she began to stammer, and her mouth trembled and said: "What do you say, this family's ring has long been lost, no one knows where it is, since there is no ring, as long as the clansmen agree, why bother." ”

Hearing Zhang An's mother say this, Su Xiaoman sneered, and then said to everyone: "The ring of the patriarch of the Zhang family, but I have never lost it, I know where the ring is, but I think the ring should be handed over to the person who really should inherit the position of the sect master." ”

Seeing Su Xiaoman making trouble here, Zhang An's mother felt a little impatient, so angry that she hit the tea cup on the table to the ground.

Zhang An frowned deeply when he saw his mother's rude behavior, to say that Su Xiaoman was not a clever trick, but he made his mother angry and out of proportion, which was really a bit of a loss for the Zhang family.
