"Brother Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about, go, go and write the paper with your uncle."

The people in the hall, the first to come back to their senses was Xia Ru, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbed Xia Yuan's sleeve, and pulled him to the door.

"Uncle, I'm not talking nonsense, I... Hmm..."

Before Xia Yuan finished speaking, one of Xia Ru's hands directly covered his mouth, making him unable to make a sound.

"Xia Ru, let go of your hand and let him continue."

"Patriarch, you also know that Brother Yuan is sick now, and his brain may be the root of the disease, don't be like him, and..."

"I said let him go and let him continue!"

The crutches in the hand of the patriarch Xia Youde slammed into the ground, making a muffled sound, and everyone in the hall trembled in their hearts.

Xia Ru hesitated for a moment, gave Xia Yuan a look of self-begging for blessings, and then slowly lowered his hand.

"Xia Yuan, come, no one will stop you this time, you can say as much as you want, let me, a bad old man, listen to what you want to say."

Xia Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the old patriarch's eyes that flashed with a sharp color, and understood that the other party was on the verge of rage.

He also knew in his heart that sending Zhao Yuerong back was the best solution, but for Zhao Yuerong, once she was sent back, her end would only be miserable.

Xia Yuan didn't think he was a good person, and he had only been with this little girl for a short time, but he really couldn't bear to watch this cowardly and sensible little girl fall into a miserable situation, and even teach this so-called honor to kill her.

"Uncle, this matter can be handled in another way, but Zhao Yuerong can't be sent back, I have promised to keep her, and I can't break her trust."

Xia Youde sneered again and again, "You can't break your trust in others, that's good, it's really good, you are a scholar, a gentleman, you can't be untrustworthy to others, and the Zhao family is a businessman, so you can destroy the marriage contract and ruin your reputation, a gentleman can bully him, and a scholar will be bullied by others in vain, is that so?" ”

Speaking of this, he held the cane in his hand and slammed it on the ground, "Let me ask you, there is such a reason in the world!" ”

Xia Ru saw the stitches and said: "Of course there is no such reason in the world, patriarch, this matter must not be resigned!" ”

"Yes, we must not give up!"

"Ask them for an explanation!"

“......”

The people in the ancestral hall are full of righteous indignation, the imperial power does not go to the countryside, the neighbors in the township take the same surname clan as the relationship link, everyone has a surname, worships the same ancestor, regardless of the distance between relatives, as long as the door is closed, it is a family.

This is why whoever raises troops is always the first to gather the villagers with the same surname.

Because we are all a clan.

Reflecting the indignation of the people around him, Xia Yuan sighed and helpless in his heart, "Uncle, uncles and aunts, I have been ill for a long time, maybe I will die at any time, people with daughters naturally avoid it, although the Zhao family has an old relationship with my father, it is normal for people to refuse to marry their own daughter, and it is benevolent and righteous to replace the adopted daughter."

What's more, I used to marry in order to give me joy, but after I got married yesterday, I already feel that my body is very good, and it seems that this joy is indeed effective. ”

In order to convince the patriarch, Xia Yuan had to come up with feudal superstitions, and as soon as these words came out, everyone present, including the patriarch, looked him up and down, and their faces eased a little.

Looking at it like this, Chongxi really had a great effect, and in this way, it made them feel a lot better.

Even the gaze that looked at Zhao Yuerong became not so unkind, and even had a bit of inexplicability, could it be that he really married a blessed woman by mistake?

Seeing everyone's expressions, the patriarch snorted, then looked at Xia Yuan and said: "You are kind-hearted, you helped the Zhao family to exonerate, the ancestors accumulated virtue, and my Xia family actually produced a humble gentleman." ”

Xia Yuan didn't know how to take this, so he simply remained silent.

Seeing that he was silent, the patriarch was a little angry, his lips moved and he just wanted to reprimand, but he couldn't help but pause, staring at the young man in front of him for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

He rubbed the crutches in his hand, "Uncle knows, you are a scholar, thin-skinned, and your parents are... Ay.. The Zhao family relied on a little floating wealth, and saw that there was no one in your family, so they dared to bully you like this.

If you swallow your anger, you will only be looked down upon for no reason, there is no one in your family, but you still have your uncle, and we elders, we will help you uphold justice.

Besides, it was the Zhao family who made the mistake first, no matter where this matter goes, we will take advantage of it, what are you afraid of? ”

Xia Yuan shook his head, "Uncle, I'm not afraid, I just don't want this to make a big fuss, once this kind of thing gets big, it's not good for anyone, not to mention that I have to thank the Zhao family, if they hadn't changed their daughter-in-law to someone, my body might not have recovered to the point it is now." ”

Hearing this, the patriarch squinted at Zhao Yuerong, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Xia Yuan again, and sighed for a long time, before sighing heavily, "I really should be thankful." ”

"It's just... It's just, hey, you don't want to make things bigger, and your uncle is not like this, but the Zhao family is really too deceitful. Besides, this matter is not good for your reputation, and when it spreads, others think that we are afraid of his Zhao family..."

"The patriarch doesn't have to worry, the reputation is damaged, and this kind of thing can't affect the imperial examination, Brother Yuan is so smart, he will definitely be able to get fame in the future, and when the lintel is glorious, who dares to laugh." Xia Ru interjected again on the side.

As soon as these words came out, the patriarch's face loosened a lot, indeed, as long as he gained fame, who would dare to laugh at him?

Even people from ten miles and eight towns will help beautify it and achieve a good story.

What's more, Xia Yuan's grades in reading have always been outstanding, and he has always been a prodigy in the surrounding townships, and has always been regarded as the hope of the clan.

Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Well, since you like this woman, then stay here, but you must not relax when it comes to studying, I, a bad old man, are waiting for the day when you are in high school." ”

"I... This, I tried my best. ”

Xia Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but after holding it for a long time, he still responded hard, and by the way, he handed his uncle Xia Ru a grateful look, and said in his heart I thank you for your eight ancestors.

Thinking about it, I don't think it's appropriate, his ancestor is my ancestor, which means that I thank my own eight-generation ancestor.

"It's not about trying, it's about getting in, you're a once-in-a-century reading seed in our clan, you won the first place in the high school exam at the age of fifteen, if you can't pass the exam, our clan doesn't know how long it will take..."

Saying that, the patriarch's eyes looked at Zhao Yuerong again, sighed and said: "Let's not make a big deal about this matter, but we must not swallow this breath easily, I will take the clansmen to the Zhao family for a while, find that Zhao Fugui and say, all the gifts will come back, from now on, this girl will have nothing to do with their Zhao family, lest they will be exposed to your light in the future." ”

"Everything is up to my uncle." Xia Yuan nodded with a complicated expression, and the hell-level task of gaining fame suddenly pressed on his body, and he felt that his life had lost his happiness.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Ru again, and thanked everyone again for their common eight-generation ancestors.
