I'm Liu Bei.

"Okay, but you have to promise one thing. After a while, Sister Yaya will bring the holy medicine, but you must not eat it. If you agree to this, you will be allowed to marry Sister Yaya. Also, after a while, I will say in front of Sister Yaya that you like her very much. If we both beat the side drum from the side, she will definitely say yes. After a year and a half, if you resign as patriarch and leave, we will never stop you. Xiao Ru thought she had a well-planned plan.

Walking is a must-go. The sooner the better, I have to rush back to Zhuojun to chase Miss Gan, so I said, "Okay, it's decided." A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase! ”

"Okay, it's hard to chase the horse!" Fu Jun said excitedly.

When things are settled, I am relieved. As long as I get out of here alive, wouldn't it be a small case to help them take a patriarch?

Judging from the situation in the past two days, the position of the patriarch has already been glimpsed. At least that Zhao clan elder moved his mind. Since I want to fight for the position of the patriarch, then I have to figure out the situation in the clan and know the other side, so that I can win with confidence.

"Since you have made me the patriarch, then tell me something about the clan. I don't know at all, and I believe that this will be very detrimental to the success of becoming a patriarch. ”

"Brother Fujun, you can tell him." Xiao Ru sat on the edge of the couch at her feet and said to Fujun.

Fu Jun knelt beside the table in front of the couch and said in an orderly manner: "Our Li family, after our ancestors were the officials of the Zhao State, moved to Baishui Shaanxi Valley in order to escape the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Later, three surnames came here to take refuge one after another, namely Zhao, Shan, and Baili. Xiaoru is Baili's. Later, some small families moved in, but there were not many of them. ”

"According to the ancestral system, the four clans of Li, Zhao, Shan, and Baili each have an elder elected by the people of their own clan to form the elder pavilion of the clan. Together, they assisted the Patriarch of the Canyon. All matters within the clan are decided by the patriarch. The patriarch can only be appointed by the previous officer, and the successor can be any man, and the only condition is to hold the Li clan's Xuantie token. But the previous patriarch who has passed away, that is, Yaya's father, once announced to the clan that whoever can marry Yaya will be the future patriarch. Now that Patriarch Li is gone, the Xuantie token has also been lost, so everyone in the clan acquiesces that Yaya's husband is the next patriarch. ”

Now I found out that Yaya's "marry me" last night was actually asking me for help. Alas, it's just that I didn't have the patience to ask at that time. It seems that in order to repay her for saving her life, I really have to make a personal promise.

Yaya and Fujun have the same surname Li, and there is no taboo of the same surname in the ancient marriage system, so Bailiru shouted that Li Fujun would fake marry Yaya to deceive the clansmen into ascending to the position of patriarch to save the third grandfather.

I asked. "How many people are in the clan now?"

"Last year's count was 11,010. My Li family is the largest, with more than 700 households, totaling more than 6,000 people; followed by more than 200 households of the Zhao family, totaling more than 2,000 people; again, there are more than 160 households in the single family, totaling 1,500 people; The Baili ethnic group is the least, with only about 30 households and nearly 500 people. The rest are retail investors, but there are three or four hundred people in total. ”

Wow! So many people! From the perspective of population composition, there are four clans standing side by side here, so it's no wonder that the Elder Pavilion is one for each clan. The strength of the Li family is the strongest, followed by the Zhao family, the Shan family, and the Baili family. I don't know who Elder Li is? To marry a girl, his intention is very important.

I opened my mouth and asked, "Who is Elder Li?" ”

"It's me." Li Fujun replied with some honesty.

I didn't think that the Elder Li would be a young man. No wonder he knew so much about the demographic composition of his clan. From this point of view, with Li Fujun's support and Yaya's approval, becoming her husband, it can be said that I am in the position of patriarch.

Now it can also be seen that the Li clan is divided into two factions, one is headed by the elder Li Fujun, who swears to protect the position of patriarch; The other faction is led by Yaya's grandfather to seek the power of the Li family's elder, so Yaya's grandfather joined forces with the Zhao elder, who is the second most powerful in the clan, and sold his granddaughter in exchange for his support.

Li Fujun tried his best to help Yaya in order to keep his position as an elder. It seems that that old guy and Li Fujun have become mortal enemies.

Because I heard Xiao Ru say before, "Zhao Zangfeng, the son of that stinky elder, will be unfavorable to you, and he swears to marry you." It can be seen that Zhao Zangfeng's father is the elder of the Zhao family, and his ambition is to marry Yaya and seek to seize the position of patriarch. From this point of view, I want to sit on the position of patriarch, and the two major enemies in front of me are Yaya's grandfather and the elder of the Zhao family.

Suddenly, I heard Bai Liru "flutter" and laughed: "His position as an elder is still recommended by Uncle Li." ”

I asked suspiciously, "Uncle Li you said is Yaya's father?" ”

"yes. Uncle Li said that he was brilliant and was the most likely successor to the patriarch in the future. Baili Ru said sourly and warmly.

"Where?" Li Fujun was anxious to clarify for himself.

"I just said maybe, but I didn't say it must be." Seeing that he was sulking, Baili Ru smiled happily.

"Don't- don't talk nonsense. Uncle Lee didn't—did he say it bad? Li Fujun blushed slightly, stuttering a little negative.

Judging by my experience of lying for more than 10 years, introverts often have unnatural reactions such as blushing and stuttering when lying. Therefore, it is certain that Li Fujun is lying, and he is covering up something.

From this, an idea came to my mind:

Yaya recommended Li Fujun to her father, which is enough to show that Yaya likes Li Fujun. Yaya's father appointed Li Fujun as the elder of the Li family, but he recognized Li Fujun as his future son-in-law.

Li Fujun is a literati, although he has a cowardly personality, but the intentions of the Li family's father and daughter are so obvious, a discerning person can know the intentions of their father and daughter at a glance, so it is impossible for Li Fujun not to see it. Now Li Fujun has taken the position of elder, which means that he has acquiesced in marrying Yaya in the future. That's why the previous patriarch, who was Yaya's father, said that whoever can marry Yaya is his designated heir.

However, how did things turn out like this: Li Fujun is hugging a beauty, but that beauty is not a girl. What makes me even more puzzled is that the relationship between him and Bailiru is always like a brother and sister, not like a lover in a relationship.

This matter must be clarified, otherwise wouldn't my marriage to Yaya break up the mandarin ducks? What's more important is that if Li Fujun still loves Yaya deeply, will he still do his best to help me become the patriarch? It's no wonder he didn't look for a chance to kill me.

When you find a time, you have to figure this out.
