Chapter 8: Going and Staying (1)
The old woman glanced around and watched as these elders who were quite respected in the clan couldn't wait to look at the young beast they were tightly guarding in their arms with surprise, expectation, or greed, and their hearts were both disdainful and disdainful.
But she finally hid her thoughts, and respectfully saluted the chief elder at the head: "Great Elder, my son Xi Wan'er has had a difficult birth for a long time, and she was tortured and fought for her life to finally get a daughter. ”
"It's a girl?" The old man with the dead wood and dragon staff frowned, carefully removed the cotton cloth covering the young beast, and after confirming it again, he closed his eyes and sighed: "That's it, it's okay, it's okay girl, it's okay......
The old woman couldn't stop her tears at this time, took a step closer to the Great Elder, and knelt down with a puff: "Great Elder, no, uncle!" Ning'er, for the sake of my daughter's efforts to give birth to offspring for the Xi people, and for the sake of this poor child who has lost his mother and is so weak, let me take this child back and raise it myself! ”
"This ......"
The Great Elder looked at the old woman whose hair had begun to turn gray, thinking back to the appearance of her young Cheng Huan's knees, his face was moved, and he was about to agree, but unexpectedly, there were one after another voices of opposition.
"Never! Big brother, the family rules are strict! Since our father's generation, it has been stipulated that all newborns must immediately verify the blood blood concentration, distinguish the blood blood level, and then send them to the corresponding chick room according to the blood blood level to be fed by the nursing mother. How can you break the rules just because this child is Xi Ning's granddaughter? ”
The first to speak was the second elder of the clan who was in charge of punishment.
Several elders standing next to the second elder also seconded the proposal.
"Second uncle! Didn't your grandson Xi Chi also be brought up by your side at the beginning? He hadn't been in the hina room for a day! The old woman was still kneeling, looking up at the second elder with a straight back, and the resentment in her eyes was not concealed at all.
"How can this be the same? Chi'er is a male, and the bloodline level reached the upper level when he was born, and I brought it with me to raise in order to cultivate an excellent successor for the Xi clan! Look at Xi Chi's current achievements, he is the best young man in the history of the Xi people! He will also be the best patriarch in the future! ”
The second elder was full of pride, and said unsatisfied: "Besides, this child is Xi Chi's daughter, even if she is not as talented as her father, she has to be taken back by the people in my second room to take care of her, how can you bring it back in the fifth room?" What do you want me to do in my second room? ”
The middle man standing next to the second elder, dressed in a brocade robe, and wearing a black jade wrench on his right hand that proves the identity of the head of the clan, he glanced at the old woman gloomily, stepped forward to face the great elder and saluted, and then said: "Uncle, presumably Xi Ning of the fifth room has not stepped out of the forbidden land for a long time, and the rules of the clan have been forgotten, so unruly, let her continue to go back to the forbidden land to guard the tomb of her ancestors!" ”
At this time, the old woman did not hide her resentment towards the patriarch standing beside the second elder: "Xi Liangyun! You framed me ten years ago and imprisoned me in a forbidden place to guard the tomb, when Wan'er was still young, you bullied me and had no one in the five rooms, and you were insatiable to seize the property of the five rooms! It was my ears that were too soft, overestimating Xi Chi's conscience, seeing him kneeling in front of me for three days and three nights, begging me to marry Wan'er to him, so I nodded and agreed! It's all a deception by your father and son! Brute! ”
"Xi Ning, Hugh is rude!" The Great Elder slammed the dragon staff in his hand to the ground, stopping the two who were about to quarrel in time.
