The door was suddenly pushed open, and it was Xiao Mo's mother, who seemed to be anxious: "Daughter, are you going to be a sinner for the whole clan?" ”

"Why did Grandma say this?" Xiao Mo was surprised.

"Do you think I don't know? Now the imperial court is determined to take Shu Lang away, otherwise, the entire Qiang village will be restless. And where Shu Lang goes depends on your will, if you agree to reconcile with him, he will agree to go back to Luoyang; And if you still refuse to change your mind, he has no intention of forging ahead. If you really anger the officials and soldiers because of this, how can our little Qiang village resist it? When the time comes, there will be a big mess, not only sorry for your dead grandfather, but also sorry for the whole clan. Wouldn't that be a sinner for the whole family! ”

This crime is too big for Xiao Mo to afford, coupled with Zhixin's good persuasion, Xiao Mo can't help but shake his decision. But she still has a little entanglement: "I ......"

"You and he were originally the legal husband and wife officially pronounced by Tingwei, and they had the order of their parents, and their names were correct and good, you were just worried that with this Zhixin girl, the relationship between the three of them could not be corrected. Now that the imperial court has specially allowed the left and right ladies to be equalized, what are you still worried about? Mother Jiang finally persuaded.

"Okay." Xiao Mo finally crossed the hurdle in his heart.

Jiang Mu smiled with her eyebrows: "You know the current affairs." At present, you can't be entangled in major events. Your father and I have already decided, and we will arrange for you to marry tonight. ”

"Tonight?"

"Yes. Just tonight. I'll arrange two new rooms, not only for you, but also for Dr. Xin. ”

When Zhixin heard this, she couldn't help blushing and her heart beating, and she said in confusion: "Auntie, this must not be done!" ”

"Why not? I have a clear understanding of the three of you, so don't shirk it. Although you and Shu Lang have the name of husband and wife, but they are not husband and wife, let's make a ceremony together tonight. ”

When Ye Yan heard the news, of course he was overjoyed, not only could he return to the dynasty smoothly, but he was also happy for Shu Yan himself: "I can't imagine that you have been alone for half your life, and you can hold two beauties at once, you are really envious of others!" ”

He Hao was also pleased, and said to Ye Hao with an evil smile: "Envy is envy, I'm afraid it's not easy to do." Entering two cave rooms at the same time, if it weren't for Brother Shu's sturdy body, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to cope with it! ”

When Ye Jian heard this, he immediately laughed: "Extremely, extremely." I am very relieved about Brother Shu's physical strength. Tonight will be a single-handed, two-tree begonia both red. ”

Although it was between brothers, Shu Yan was very embarrassed to be so teased by these two people: "Both of them are familiar with poetry and books, how can they say such indecent words?" Stop and stop laughing. ”

He Hao was so happy that he took out 200,000 yuan and invited all the clansmen in the village to celebrate for two days. This move had an unexpected effect, not only helping Shu Yan personally, but also improving the relationship with the Qiang people and maintaining the stability of the Qiang people.

Xiao Mo crossed the hurdle in his heart, and his heart was much happier. She was even a little scared now, and she almost made a decision that she might regret for the rest of her life. Compared with being a chief, being able to be with Shu Yan is the life he wants most. How could she ever really be willing to lose Shu Yan? It's just that it's hard to get over the hurdle in my heart.

Now, what Xiao Mo feels most indebted to is his parents. I was determined to spend time with my parents, but I only got together for a few months, and I had to part. In the past, I often went out for a long time, but I didn't feel how attached to my parents, but now that I am married, I feel completely different, and I am very reluctant.

For the past two days, she did nothing and stayed with her parents as much as possible. Parents know their daughter's mind best, and of course they are reluctant to let their daughter stay away, but they can't hinder their daughter's lifelong events because of themselves.

Xiao Mo went to boil hot tea and brought it to his parents.

Hua Qing sighed: "For more than 20 years, we have not been able to train our daughter to be like a real girl, and she has never been as attached to us as she is now. ”

Jiang's mother said: "My daughter is just big on the outside, but in fact, she is also very delicate on the inside, why doesn't she have attachment to us?" It's just that I was naïve and didn't show it before, but now I'm going to marry far away, so I suddenly realized it. It's also good that she wants to spend more time with us. Otherwise, in the future, there will be less gathering and more separation......"

Xiao Mo happened to come in with tea, and when he heard his parents' words, he deliberately retorted: "I can't accompany you more in the future, but I can't blame me, this is the choice you forced me to make, you have to suffer by yourself." ”

Father Jiang deliberately brought out a disdainful expression and said, "Who is rare for you to accompany?" When you're not around, we're happy. ”

Xiao Mo knew that his father was a white lie, so he didn't fight back, but only returned a "Hmph." ”

Jiang's mother pulled Xiao Mo to sit beside her, and said to her warmly: "When a daughter is raised, she will get married, and her parents' home can never be regarded as a serious home for her daughter." How can you delay your life's events because of your nostalgia for your parents? Although you are married a little farther, your father and I are not old, and you are in good health, and you can visit us often in your spare time, without worrying at all. ”

Jiang's father persuaded more and more: "Far is farther, but many famous women in history have married far away, including the "Book of Songs", there are records of distant marriage, and in modern times, Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei......"

Xiao Mo smiled unconsciously, and retorted: "What did Father say, those people are all princely marriages, how can I compare with them!" ”

"Of course they can't compare to you. Although he was in the family of the princes, he had no personal freedom, and no matter how much he missed his parents, he could not go home to visit him at will. In contrast, you are uninhibited and can come back anytime, anywhere. ”

Xiao Mo knew that this was because his parents were afraid that he would be sad because of his distant marriage, so he deliberately made excuses to coax himself to be relieved, so he no longer refuted, and deliberately nodded yes.

In addition to his personal feelings for his parents, Xiao Mo, as the chief, also has clan affairs to deal with. One of the most important things is to quickly choose a successor of oneself and hand over the affairs of the clan to him. Of course, she already had a goal in mind for the selection of the chief, but she didn't want to make a statement, and she had to pass a vote of the whole clan.

That night, Xiao Mo gathered all the people together and announced that he was about to leave the country and step down as chief. During this period, Xiao Mo not only eradicated the big devil of Quirich, but also paid close attention to the affairs of the clan, especially the abolition of many unreasonable clan rules with oppression and imprisonment that have been handed down since ancient times, which won the hearts of the majority of low-level clansmen. Therefore, although everyone already knew about Xiao Mo's decision, when she made the announcement, it still caused a lot of throbbing in the group. However, although they were reluctant, they also knew that they could not change the outcome.

Xiao Mo calmed the crowd, and then said: "The family can't be without an owner for a day, and the country can't be without a king for a day." Although my Qiang village is small, I can't do without the chief. After I am gone, a new chief will come and take my place, and he will be the master of everything. This chieftain was originally inherited by my family for generations, but unfortunately my family has no heirs, and although I have been a chief for a few days, it is not a long-term solution. Now a new chief is to be chosen from among the clan, regardless of his or her origin, as long as he is fair and courageous. Whoever has the right person, can be said now. ”

Although there have been many small meetings of the clan assembly, most of them are chiefs who make a speech and directly announce their decisions, and never give the clansmen the right to speak. The matter of electing the chief is even more unique, not to mention encountering, everyone has never even thought about it, and they don't know how to elect at all.

Xiao Mo saw that everyone was messing around for a long time and there was no result, so he said to himself: "Since everyone has no unified candidate, I will propose one person." Although he was young, he was not afraid of life and death, dared to act, and showed valor in the fight against Quirich, especially in that he was open-minded and not ignorant. He is Duba. ”

Duba's heroic performance against Quiritch was obvious to all, and everyone was impressed by this young man. In addition, everyone didn't agree at all in their hearts, so when they heard that Xiao Mo had made a nomination, they all disagreed, and they called Duba's name to show their agreement.

Xiao Mo immediately summoned Du Ba to stand in the center of the crowd and handed over the position of chief.

The chief is a hereditary nobleman in the Qiang village, while the other clansmen are only slightly high and low, separated from the world of the chief's house. Duba knew the dignity of the chieftain's position, he never dreamed that he could become a chief from the lowest clan, and he felt extremely frightened, and he didn't even dare to accept this recommendation.

"Little aunt, this, this can't be done, how can I be a chief?"

Xiao Mo smiled and comforted the young man: "I personally let me Zen, and I have also been recognized by everyone, what do you dare not accept?" So saying, he gave him the horn, which symbolized the chief's appeal.

Du Ba could only take it respectfully.

Xiao Mo smiled and said to him with a serious face: "The chief is not easy to be, since it has been granted to you, you must do your best for the sake of the clan, be fair and impartial in everything, and lead the clansmen to the right path without being biased." You can't use power for personal gain, let alone do anything wrong. If you disobey, I will not only take back the chieftaincy, but I will punish you, so that you can do it yourself. ”

Du Ba is the only way to say yes.

Xiao Mo nodded with satisfaction. However, she also had a major concern that often lingered in her heart, and immediately solemnly instructed in front of the whole clan: "There is another important thing, everyone must remember: Huaqiang have the same origin since ancient times, like brothers, and our people must not follow the example of other Yi tribes and harbor different intentions towards the Chinese." No matter what the circumstances, we Baimaqiang people can never do anything to rebel against the imperial court. ”

Du Ba immediately assured: "We Baimaqiang people just want to live in peace and stability, and fighting against the imperial court will not do any good except for the disaster of extermination." Not only did I promise that the village would not rebel, but I also had to convince the other Qiang villages to do the same. ”

The clansmen listened to the instructions and assurances of the two, and agreed one after another: "We just want stability, not trouble." ”

Xiao Mo was very pleased, and told Duba and Kangma to help take care of their parents. When everything was arranged, he said goodbye to his parents in tears, and rushed to Luoyang with Shu Yan, Zhixin, Ye Qing and others.

Some people died, but not completely......
