I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

When Kong Yingda returned to Kong's house, he still hadn't put down the package on his body.

He was invited to the ancestral hall.

The smell of sandalwood, sesame oil, and the gloom. Sitting in the center of the ancestral hall are the elders of the family, followed by many ancestor spirit tablets, and the most prominent statue of Confucius hanging on the wall.

"Chongyuan, you really have the guts to come back." The clan elder on the right said, with a hint of reprimand in his words.

Chongyuan is Kong Yingda's word, at least at this time, they have not completely turned their faces.

Kong Yingda's face was calm, but his attitude was firm: "It seems that you all know what I'm going to do?"

"When will I change my resolution?"

The clan elder on the left hand side shook his head: "Your confidence comes from that man from Changle County, right?"

Kong Yingda didn't speak.

He also knew that this matter could not be kept hidden for a long time, nor could it be kept hidden from the elders in the family, but if he didn't tell the truth, he wouldn't be implicated in that shop owner.

"I advise you to wait for a while, maybe you will find that your poor confidence is just a joke." The clan elder on the left continued, with the wind calm and the chance of victory in his hands.

Kong Yingda suddenly looked up at the clan elder: "What do you want to do to him?"

The clan elder just waved his hand, smiled slightly, and didn't speak.

Kong Yingda took a deep look at them and didn't bother to continue. He bowed to the ancestor's spiritual tablet and the portrait of Confucius, and then walked to his room with his luggage.

After he came back, he just wanted to give lectures in the Kong family - in his capacity, even if the Kong family didn't allow it, the Qufu County male would not even be able to have a place in Qufu.

Then take a group of young people away.

But now he doesn't intend to do this, he has to figure out what the Kong family wants to do to the store.

Could it be that they would attack the store so blatantly in Chang'an City?
Do not.
If that's the case, it's not just a conflict between the Kong family and the store, it's slapping the court in the face, attacking a county man from the court in the important place of Gyeonggi, at the foot of the emperor?

Maybe he did this that day, and in less than a month, he would be the only one left in the Kong family.

This is still due to Kong Yingda's failure to attack Yin Xuan, and the face of the master's ancestors.

So what will they do?
Why do you say that your confidence is just a joke, and you are so confident.

In the next few days, Kong Yingda spared no effort to inquire about the news at Kong's house, but... he found that he, the patriarch, seemed to have become an outsider.

When talking to other people in the clan, most of them avoid him.

The young man's attitude was a little better, and while he refused to talk to him, there was still some shame on his face.

But those middle-aged and elderly people only had pure disgust on their faces.

They looked at Kong Yingda as if they were looking at a bedbug.

until five days later.

Concerned, Kong Yingda slipped out of the Kong family one afternoon to take a stroll, but bumped into a group of young people from the Kong family beside a Qushui Pavilion.

Kong Yingda didn't care about her face, so she stooped and eavesdropped.

Hearing this, these young people from the Kong family were really talking about what he wanted to know.

"You say, which house elder will betroth this younger sister to that county man in Chang'an?" A young man said, sighing.

Someone made fun of him: "You are afraid that Yaomei will be married off."

The person who spoke first blushed, raised his hand and gave a hammer.

"But speaking of it, it's really possible that it's Yaomei." Someone began to analyze it seriously.

This made the young man who was beating someone startled, and hurriedly looked over.

The man continued to analyze: "A mere county man, who came from a poor background, and married into my Kong family, how could he betroth a few younger sisters from the direct line?"

"Yaomei is a suitable candidate."

"Her grandfather was married to my Kong family, and the daughter she gave birth to also recruited a son-in-law for my Kong family, so it's only natural for my sister to do this."

He spoke frankly, without paying attention to Yin Xuan's identity as a county man.

Obviously he is the head of the Kong family, Kong Yingda is just a county man.

But the young people around did not think this statement was strange.

The young man who spoke first was a little disappointed, he opened his mouth, a little weak: "Is there no other candidate in the clan?"

"Gone."

"I also think Yaomei is the best candidate."

Several other people agreed cleanly.

After a brief silence, the young man who spoke first suddenly mustered up his courage again, widened his eyes, and said with a little surprise: "You said, if that person doesn't want to join Kong's family, is Yaomei Don't you have to marry him?"

His words just landed.

Several young people around looked at the young man in disbelief.

"What nonsense are you talking about, we are the Kong family!"

"Is there anyone in the world who can refuse my Kong family's recruitment?"

"Look at Qufu, how many people want to marry my Kong family is not available. He is so mad that he is willing to give up this opportunity to reach the sky in one step."

Young people are always proud and arrogant, especially the young people of the Kong family, who are used to hearing good things, and they are so proud that they can't wait to climb to the moon.

Kong Yingda, who was eavesdropping, walked away. He was afraid that if he listened any longer, he would not be able to help laughing.

The Kong family actually had such an idea?
Want to recruit the store owner to be your son-in-law?

He trotted, and waited until he could no longer see the small pavilion from a distance. He faced the frozen river and smiled ferociously, heartily and wantonly.

The rotten and frozen river water didn't react at all—or rather, it was hidden under a thick layer of ice, and it was so dull that it didn't even notice Kong Yingda's smile.

The cloud accumulated in Kong Yingda's heart was swept away.

He had been worrying about what method the Kong family would use, but he never expected to use such a method.

How did they think, how dare they?
Yin Xuan is a man valued by the royal family, and even the royal family has never thought of recruiting him as a bride.They all knew that Yin Xuan was a proud man who didn't take authority seriously.

If the Kong family did this, it would only arouse Yin Xuan's disgust.

No, more than that.

There is also Li Shimin, the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

To rob a man with the royal family, perhaps from the bottom line, the Kong family is much better than the Li Tang royal family, but in reality, does the Kong family have the capital to grab it?

Thinking of this, Kong Yingda laughed again, until he couldn't breathe, and rubbed his chest before stopping.

This is a good opportunity, I can't give up.

So it was decided that tomorrow I will give lectures at Qufu Academy for a month, and I will return to Chang'an after a month to completely separate from the present Confucius family.

This was delivered to the door by the Kong family themselves.
