Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 39 Entering the Ancestral Hall
Although the third floor of the library was quite far away, Wen Ran's sharp duck voice was quite piercing. Several older men were about to go downstairs when they saw the mistress of the Xie family raise her hands and feet and deal with the two men.
Especially the sentence: "Say it again?" At that time, Xie Xian raised her eyebrows and glanced over here. They were far away and couldn't hear what was said, but looking at Wen Ran's arrogant look, it didn't seem to be a good thing.
Then, Xie Xian took off her jacket in public to protect her younger sister, and slapped and kicked the two men into the lake.
Just like the chivalrous hero who takes pleasure in avenging his enemies as described by the storyteller Cha Liao, with his eyes and eyebrows shining like the sharp sword, it is truly captivating.
Xie Zilin usually follows Xie An and is not very familiar with the lady from the second house. Just now, several of his sisters were bullied and he was about to go downstairs. But when he saw Xie Xian show up, he was no longer panicked.
It was nothing, Xie Xian handled the problem much better than he did, and the result was as he expected. Tsk tsk ~ This time, big brother is going to have a headache again.
When Xie Xian returned home, she needed to kneel in the ancestral hall immediately. Thinking it was something that would happen sooner or later, Xie Xian did not think much about it. She settled Xie Minyan in the inkstone pool and went there with peace of mind.
Qingdai was packing her things when she saw Aunt Yin coming with a group of servants in a menacing manner.
"Where is the second lady?" asked Aunt Yin.
She looked at Qingdai with some surprise, carrying so many bags, not knowing where she was going.
"Aunt, my wife said that she would go to pray for the ancestors in the next two days." Wow, the clan was preparing to hold a grand meeting in the hall, but she did it in one step and even skipped the whole process.
This is a bit too much. What should they do? What can they do? Should they go to the ancestral hall and drag the queen out and take her to the meeting hall?
She brought these people with her to give herself courage. God knows if every family heard about it this time, and the face of the person who was jumping for joy was almost taken away.
I don't know where this girl gets the strength from.
I don't know whether she felt regretful or relieved after the fact. Aunt Yin waved her hand and said, "Let's go back."
Tsk! It's up to you, my lady, to take care of the affairs of the Second Chamber. If you want to use this opportunity to curb my lady's arrogance, you're dreaming!
Aunt Ma beside her glanced at him worriedly and said, "My lady, this matter..."
Qing Dai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. My wife never does anything she is not sure of, and we are right this time." What Qing Dai didn't say was that the ancestors were still in the ancestral hall, so it was most appropriate for him to protect my wife.
Magu turned around and whispered, "We will meet sooner or later..."
Xie Xian and Xie Miao walked quickly. The ancestral hall of the Xie clan was next to the library, which was a half-acre blue brick courtyard in the center of the clan's land.
In front of the courtyard gate, an old man in black was sweeping the steps with a broom. He was a little hunched. When Xie Miao saw him, he bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Mr. Weng!"
Xie Xian's heart skipped a beat. This must be the grandfather that her original body had never met. Damn it. Her mind raced and she quickly followed suit and saluted: "Greetings, Mr. Weng!" She still couldn't call him "Mr. Weng."
The sour-faced old man snorted coldly and dropped the broom in his hand.
Qingdai stepped back and gave Xie Xian a look that begged her for good luck.
Xie Xian sighed inwardly, and had no choice but to pick up the broom and sweep the stairs obediently.
While people were being forced to do hard labor here, there was also chaos in the meeting hall over there.
"How ridiculous! Marriage is a serious matter decided by the parents and the matchmaker. How can it be changed so easily? This is too much of a joke." The elder She in the clan has always followed the old rules, but this matter is the responsibility of each branch, and other branches rarely interfere.
Xie Feng took a sip of tea. Today's green bean buns were a little sticky. These old guys never get up early without benefits. I don't know what benefits they have received. But this time the second house is not like before. Now there is a eldest son. Although she is just a girl, she is not at the mercy of others.
But this matter really has nothing to do with his third wife.
Xie Zhong lowered his eyes and watched coldly. The crowd below seemed very excited. If one didn't know, one would have thought they were someone from the Wen family. Xiao Yao had just gone to Mrs. Lu to cry and complain. Wen Ran was really useless and it was a waste of his family's favors.
Besides, the second brother's family had already rejected the marriage proposal, so for the sake of their own face, they had to let it go. He had wanted to use this matter to pressure his sixth brother, but now it seemed like a mistake. The second uncle was sweeping the steps at the ancestral hall again, and when Xie Zhong thought of this, his brows twitched.
Glancing at the third brother Xie Feng who was still eating, he felt a nameless anger rising in his heart.
Xie Feng almost dropped the green paste on the table when he saw this, feeling wronged: "Who wouldn't be afraid of the second uncle's actions! "It's no use looking at me, who allowed you to let the clan suppress the second branch, now the retribution has come!"
If it weren’t for... Second Uncle coming out long ago, no one in this room would be able to escape.
"Where is Xie Xian from the second house?" asked one of the elders, his eyes wide open like bells, as if he had regained the vigor and vigor of his youth. However, he was interrupted by an old man who had just entered the sect before he could even take two breaths.
The man walked straight, the keys hanging on his waist jingling as he walked, and the huge conference room suddenly became quiet.
"The lady of the second house has been punished by my master to sweep the stairs." The visitor said slowly. Although he lowered his head, his words made the whole hall quiet.
Xie Zhong, who was sitting in the main seat, sat up straight and said softly, "Second uncle, do you have anything else to say?" Everyone looked solemn, and Xie Feng also put down his tea and snacks and pricked up his ears to listen.
"Reporting to the clan leader, the master said to act according to the clan rules," he said and glanced meaningfully at the person who had just spoken.
Old She hurriedly turned his head away and didn't dare to look at him. Damn it, he just couldn't control his mouth. He made fun of the second room and now Xie Yun was thinking about it. It was all over. He was a petty-minded man.
As for the matter of marriage, there are regulations in the clan, and everything is done according to the wishes of the elders of each family. They have never interfered with the affairs of other families, so what are these people worried about?
Xie Feng finished the last piece of green paste on the plate, clapped his hands, stood up, and prepared to leave. Seeing the elders watching, he said slowly, "This girl Xian would rather take action than talk. I heard that the one who picked the fight got slapped so hard that his face is still swollen...tsk tsk."
Yes, this word is a bit subtle.
Everyone looked at each other and thought, forget it, they couldn't afford to offend him. Why were they so afraid of Xie Yun? It was because the second brother was also a cruel and ruthless person when he was young. Everyone present had been punished by him.
Mr. Suo walked back with a smile on his face, and now everything was finally quiet.
Speaking of the marriage certificate, there seems to be one in the ancestral hall, and the master has not made a decision yet.
Mrs. Lu sat in the hall with the marriage certificate spread out in front of her, her face expressionless.
"Madam, my eldest son feels extremely guilty towards the fifth lady and hopes to meet her." The messenger from the Wen family tried to flatter him in his tone, trying to get closer to the Lu family.
Mrs. Lu sneered in her heart, but her face remained calm. She raised her chin slightly, and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Wen wants to see the Fifth Lady? Why don't you come here yourself? This inkstone pool is an important place of our Xie family. You cannot enter without permission."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the messenger's face, but he quickly adjusted his expression and continued, "Madam Lu, what you said is wrong. Since the two families have already made an engagement, they should visit each other more often to enhance their relationship."
Mrs. Lu snorted and stood up impatiently. She walked up to the messenger, stared at him and said sarcastically, "Mr. Wen is about to marry Miss Xue, but he still wants to see Miss Wu. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?
"I am a woman of humble origins, but I know propriety, righteousness, and shame. Such behavior is truly despicable."
The messenger was choked by Lu's words and was speechless. His face turned pale and blue, and he obviously didn't expect Lu to be so direct. Seeing this, Lu felt even more disdainful. She picked up the teacup and gestured to send the guest away.
"It is not convenient for Fifth Lady to meet guests now. The prince has already issued an order for the marriage. You can go your own way from now on. Please!" There was a warning in Mrs. Lu's tone.
The messenger nodded helplessly and could only leave a sentence: "My husband is an old friend of the eldest son of the Xie family. I will come to pay a visit again in a few days." Then he left in shame.
