The punishment seems to be a bit heavy, the Pei clan has a total of 77,000 words, and it is more than 700,000 words that are copied ten times. Don't say copying, it takes a lot of time to read 700,000 words once.

The people in the hall looked at Pei Chenglie, their eyes showed pity and sympathy, and some felt schadenfreude.

But Pei Ruxi was dissatisfied with this severe punishment, she asked: "Eighth uncle, when do you want to get the patriarchal law that the third brother copied ten times? The third brother copied 5,000 words a day, and it would take at least more than 150 days to copy, so he could copy it in peace?"

Uncle Pei didn't give a deadline for copying, and when Pei Ruxi asked, he glanced at Pei Chenglie and said, "The punishment of copying the patriarchal method ten times is indeed severe, and it will delay cultivation, so you might as well reduce it." ”

Then, the eighth uncle used a consultative tone: "As my niece in the past, I think it is more appropriate to punish him for copying once, five thousand words a day, and just half a month to copy." Do you think it's appropriate?"

Before Pei Ruxi could answer, Pei Chenglie, who couldn't speak, cast a grateful glance at Uncle Pei.

Punishment is a sure thing, if you really have to be punished ten times, Pei Chenglie will hate Uncle Eight. At present, Uncle Pei proposed to reduce ten times to one, although the punishment is still a punishment, Pei Chenglie will not hate Uncle Ba anymore.

The eighth uncle is good, Pei Ruxi is bad and vicious, he hates Pei Ruxi.

Pei Ruxi didn't care about his annoyance.

She looked at Eighth Uncle Pei, who was both grateful to Pei Chenglie and wanted to satisfy her, and said, "Eighth Uncle is an elder, and how to punish the third brother is the eighth uncle's business." ”

Uncle Pei smiled gently, pulled up Pei Chenglie, who was lying on the ground, gave him a dust avoidance technique, and said to him: "You promise not to shout, and I will untie the forbidden technique." ”

Pei Chenglie, who was frightened by copying the patriarchal law ten times, was very well-behaved, and the eighth uncle unlocked his forbidden speech technique and asked him to sit down.

Today is the New Year, and all the children of the Pei clan who are under the age of fourteen are sitting in the hall, and Uncle Pei has said some words in accordance with the custom.

In his mouth, no matter whether the qualifications are good or bad, all children are the future of Pei's. He hoped that everyone should think about the clan in life and work, and the arrangements of the clan should be carefully obeyed, and they should not be selfish and only care about their own well-being.

Pei Ruxi listened absentmindedly while cultivating, and Pei Xiangrong also said a lot of similar things, but Pei Xiangrong emphasized that she was born to call him father, and she had to listen to him and not disobey him.

After speaking, the eighth uncle praised Pei Ruxi, Pei Chenglie and others who had performed well in the past year, and those who did not perform well also took them out to show everyone. Then, Uncle Eight encouraged everyone to work hard to cultivate in the new year, and asked the servants to deliver the New Year's gifts prepared by the clan to each child's table.

He said that all gifts were the same, and on the face of it they were.

Pei Ruxi opened the silk sac containing the gift, and inside was a spirit stone and a small porcelain bottle, which contained an ordinary Qi Nourishing Pill, which could speed up the cultivation progress of the monk. As far as she was concerned, the aura provided by a Qi Nourishing Pill was worth two hours of cultivation.

However, most of the pills will accumulate erysipelas in the monk's body, Pei Xiangrong once cautiously warned her not to take the pills casually, and if she wanted to take them, she had to ask him and get his permission to take them.

Pei Asi, who was sitting next to him, also opened the gift and asked Pei Ruxi: "Xixi, what gift did you get?"

Pei Ruxi handed her his silk sac and said, "It should be the same as yours." ”

Pei Asi looked into the silk sac, and was comforted by the envy of Pei Ruxi's good qualifications, and said, "You are the seventh-degree water spirit root, I thought your gift would be better than mine." ”

Pei Chenglie on the other side also exchanged gifts with the people next door, disgusted that the gifts were too shabby, but in previous years, they were also shabby, and he was used to it.

After distributing the New Year's gifts, the eighth uncle instructed the servants to bring meals to the little friars, and everyone had two dishes, one soup and one bowl of rice, and no one was an exception. Because the amount of food is different for each person, you can add a bowl after eating.

Pei Ah Si took a sip of the soup, satisfied, and said to Pei Ruxi: "The last time I ate spiritual food was last year, and I ate it again this year! The spiritual diet is so delicious, every bite is like eating spiritual energy, and every bite is like cultivating! If only I had spiritual food to eat every day, I could improve my cultivation without cultivating, and I could still eat delicious food...... Well, the food is delicious! I won't talk to you, I'm going to concentrate on eating. ”

Pei Ruxi, who eats three meals a day, also took a sip of soup, and wondered in his heart: "Is the clan too good to me?" Or is the clan too bad to Pei Asi?"

She didn't know.

But she lives in the Pei family's ancestral mansion and will know sooner or later.

When Pei Ruxi and the others were eating, Uncle Pei went to see Pei Xiangrong and briefly explained Pei Ruxi's request to punish Pei Chenglie.

After listening to Pei Xiangrong, he felt that Pei Ruxi was deliberately targeting Pei Chenglie, angry and funny.

"Xi Xi was probably angry that I snubbed her and wanted to get my attention. Pei Xiangrong said, "Children are actually no different from women, they always like to compete for favor." Women can cover up, children don't know how to hide it, and their minds are clear. ”

"So, the matter of copying the patriarchal?" the eighth uncle asked.

"It's not difficult to copy it once, let him copy it. Pei Xiangrong didn't care that Pei Chenglie was punished, his expression was indifferent, "It's me who connived at Chenglie too much, and he also indulged him when his aunt was alive, even if he was infected with arrogant and domineering habits." ”

He said: "The eighth brother punishes Cheng Lie with confidence, he has the courage to make mistakes, you bring him up and beat him, and he will be obedient." If he doesn't obey, you can beat him a few more times and see if you can change his character. ”

The parents made it clear that they didn't care about the child's punishment, and the eighth uncle breathed a sigh of relief and left.

There were about a dozen people who ate in the same hall with Pei Xiangrong, all of whom were high-level members of the Pei clan, who decided the big and small things inside and outside the clan. Among them, Pei Xiangrong was a monk in the early stage of foundation building, and the cultivation of the patriarch was the same.

The third foundation building monk has a childish face, one realm higher than Pei Xiangrong and the patriarch, and one generation higher.

He is the nephew of the old ancestor, and Pei Ruxi should call him the sixth uncle.

The patriarch heard that Pei Ruxi and Pei Chenglie seemed to have a conflict, and asked with concern: "Didn't there be a big incident?"

Pei Xiangrong smiled: "No, it's just a child's trouble, it's not worth mentioning." ”

The patriarch has always trusted Pei Xiangrong, so he didn't ask much, looked around at the clansmen in the house, and said: "The Su family is in-law with us, but he deliberately alienated us, I am afraid that he secretly reached a contract with the Lin family that we don't know, and his heart is not good." ”

He sighed and said worriedly: "There are not many people in our Pei family, and the old ancestor is closed and does not show up, and the Su family still abides by the rules and does not attack us, but the Lin family is becoming more and more domineering." Last year, we were invaded by the Lin clan and occupied 23 acres of spiritual land, and I personally asked to see the patriarch of the Su clan, but he didn't say anything about helping us get justice or saying no, and stood by and watched. ”

Everyone's faces became ugly, Lingtian is the foundation of the Pei clan based on Luoxia City, without Lingtian, wouldn't the Pei clan be reduced to a declining small family that does not enter the stream?

Pei Xiangrong played with the small and delicate wine glass, and his eyes were deep.

The sixth uncle moved his eyelids, stared at the patriarch and said: "The patriarch of the Su clan is your brother-in-law, you have not treated his own sister well all these years, but you have spoiled a village girl who has married and given birth to a child, how can the Su family give you a good look? If you don't knock you out, it is because you are shouldering the position of the patriarch of our Pei clan, and you don't want to hurt the harmony between the Pei clan and his Su clan!"

The patriarch bowed his head in shame.

The sixth uncle said: "Drive away the aunt and son in that village, sincerely plead to your wife, and ask her to take you back to her mother's house to ask her patriarch brother for help, do you know?"

The patriarch wanted to argue: "Sixth uncle, Jing'er and I love each other, and if we say that we will drive away, it will be too ruthless!"

The sixth uncle stroked his gray beard, and said even more ruthlessly: "You are willing to take away twenty-three acres of spiritual land from the Lin family, and you are reluctant to drive away the village aunt and the wild mongrels she gave birth to? Okay, today next year will be the death day of the village aunt!"

"No! never!" the patriarch panicked, "Sixth Uncle, don't be angry, I'll send Jing'er away immediately!"

"Someone!" the sixth uncle shouted to the guards to come in, and in the end he saved three points of face for the patriarch, "The patriarch's concubine stole the treasures of the Pei family, and the Pei family can't keep such a thief, I order you to drive her out of the ancestral house quickly!

He casually fabricated a crime, and the guards were immediately ordered to leave.

The favorite concubine was driven away and splashed with sewage, and the patriarch lost his soul and turned white.

Pei Xiangrong glanced at him, disdainful in his heart, and said, "Big brother, don't worry, there are my people in the guard, and I won't do things too well." ”

"The second brother still understands my difficulties and can share my worries. The patriarch replied.

He regained his senses, cleared his messy thoughts, and then talked to his people about last year and this year's arrangements.

Due to the loss of more than 20 acres of spiritual land last year, the Pei clan's income will be reduced by a part this year, and some people propose to reduce the cultivation resources that the clan gives to the cultivators of their clan.

This person is the same generation as Pei Xiangrong, ranked seventh, called Pei Jinfan, and is the biological son of the sixth uncle.

Pei Jinfan said: "Second brother, your Linggen daughter has excellent qualifications that day, and she doesn't need to be given the resources to cultivate, and her cultivation has also risen as fast as flying." And the daughter is extroverted, the female cultivator is weak, so she can cultivate casually, and she doesn't need to take it too seriously. The qualifications of the horizontal and vertical heavenly spirit root are here, even if she doesn't cultivate, there will be no fewer people who want to marry her and have children. ”

Pei Jinsheng, who ranked sixth, echoed: "That's right, it's a waste of clan resources for girls to cultivate immortals, the second brother and his daughter are sensible, they don't need the resources of cultivation, other girls have to learn from her." According to me, don't give those girls resources this year. ”

The two peeked at Pei Xiangrong's face from time to time, and Pei Xiangrong thought that Pei Ruxi deliberately targeted Pei Chenglie, and did not say that he would not give resources or give it.

If your son is not well-behaved, she can be beaten, and if her daughter is not well-behaved, she should be made to suffer.

He had to let Pei Ruxi know that without his protection, Pei Ruxi would have an excellent seventh-degree heavenly spirit root, and Pei's rancid quagmire would not cherish her, but would only drown her cruelly.

If she wants to live a good life, she must be well-behaved and obedient.
