Chapter 11 A putrid quagmire
The punishment seems a bit severe. The Pei family's patriarchal law has a total of 70 words, which is more than 70 words if copied ten times.Not to mention copying, it would take a lot of time to read through the [-] words.

People in the hall looked at Pei Chenglie with pity and sympathy in their eyes, and some felt gloating.

But Pei Ruxi was dissatisfied with this severe punishment. She asked: "Eighth Uncle, when do you want to get the patriarchal law copied ten times by the third brother? The third brother copied 150 words a day, and it will take at least more than [-] days to finish. Can he copy it safely?"

Uncle Pei did not give a deadline for copying. When asked by Pei Ruxi, he glanced at Pei Chenglie and said, "The punishment for copying the patriarchal law ten times is indeed harsh, and it will delay cultivation, so it might as well be lighter."

Then, the Eighth Uncle used a negotiating tone: "Niece Ruxi, I think it is more appropriate to punish him by copying it once, five thousand words a day, and he can finish it in half a month. Do you think it is appropriate?"

Before Pei Ruxi could answer, Pei Chenglie, who could not speak, cast a grateful look at Uncle Pei.

The punishment is a sure thing. If he is really punished ten times, Pei Chenglie will hate his eighth uncle.Now Uncle Pei proposes to reduce the number of times from ten to one. Even though the punishment is still punishment, Pei Chenglie will not hate Uncle Eight anymore.

Uncle Eight is good, but Pei Ruxi is bad and vicious. He hates Pei Ruxi.

Pei Ruxi didn't care about his dislike.

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

Uncle Pei smiled gently, pulled up Pei Chenglie who was lying on the ground, gave him a dust-proofing spell, and said to him: "Promise not to yell, and I will undo the silence spell."

Pei Chenglie, who was frightened by copying the clan law ten times, was very well-behaved. Uncle Eight unlocked his silence and asked him to sit down.

Today is the New Year, and all children with spiritual roots under the age of 14 in the Pei family are sitting in the hall. Uncle Pei followed the custom and said some words.

In his words, no matter whether their qualifications are good or bad, all children are Pei's future.He hopes that everyone should consider the clan in their conduct and conduct, and should conscientiously obey the clan's arrangements, and not be selfish and only care about their own well-being.

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

After speaking, Uncle Eight praised Pei Ruxi, Pei Chenglie and others who had performed well in the past year. He also picked out those who performed poorly and showed them to everyone.Then, Uncle Eight encouraged everyone to practice hard in the new year and asked the servants to deliver the New Year gifts prepared by the clan to each child's table.

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

Pei Ruxi opened the silk bag containing the gift. Inside was a spiritual stone and a small porcelain bottle. The bottle contained an ordinary Qi-nourishing pill, which could speed up the monk's cultivation progress.As far as she is concerned, the spiritual energy provided by one Qi-nourishing pill is worth ten days of practice.

However, most elixirs would accumulate erysipelas in the monk's body. Pei Xiangrong once carefully warned her not to take elixirs casually. If she wanted to take them, she had to ask him and get his permission before taking 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 his envious heart of Pei Ruxi's good qualifications was comforted, and he said, "You are the seventh-degree water spirit root. I thought your gift would be better than mine."

On the other side, Pei Chenglie also looked at each other's gifts with the person next door. He thought the gift was too shabby, but it was also shabby in previous years and he was used to it.

After distributing the New Year gifts, Uncle Eight ordered the servants to deliver meals to the young monks. Everyone had two dishes, one soup and one bowl of rice, no one excepted.Since everyone has different appetites, you can add another bowl after finishing the meal.

Pei Asi took a sip of the soup and said to Pei Ruxi, "The last time I ate Lingshan was last year, and I'm eating it again this year! The Lingshan is so delicious, every bite feels like eating spiritual energy, every bite It’s all like practicing! If only I had spiritual meals to eat every day. I could improve my cultivation without practicing, and I could also eat delicious food... Well, the spiritual meals are so delicious! I won’t talk to you anymore, I want to concentrate on eating. .”

Pei Ruxi, who eats three meals a day, also took a sip of soup, wondering in his heart: "Is the clan treating me too well? Or is the clan treating Pei Asi and the others too poorly?"

she does not know.

But she lives in the Pei family's ancestral home, so she will know sooner or later.

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

After hearing this, Pei Xiangrong felt that Pei Ruxi had deliberately targeted Pei Chenglie, which was angry and funny.

"Xixi is probably angry that I ignored her and wanted to attract my attention." Pei Xiangrong said, "Children are actually no different from women. They always like to compete for favor. Women can hide it, but children don't know how to hide it. You can see their thoughts clearly."

"Then, what about copying the clan law?" Uncle Eight 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, "I indulged Chenglie too much, and his mother-in-law also indulged him when she was alive, allowing him to develop arrogant and domineering dandy habits. "

He said: "Badi feels free to punish Chenglie. He has the guts to make mistakes. If you pick him up and give him a good beating, he will become obedient. If he is disobedient, you can beat him a few more times to see if you can change his temper. .”

The parents made it clear that they did not care about their children being punished. Uncle Ba breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye.

There were about a dozen people eating in the same hall as Pei Xiangrong, all of whom were high-level officials of the Pei clan, who made decisions on major and minor matters within and outside the clan.Among them, Pei Xiangrong is a monk in the early stage of foundation building, and the patriarch's cultivation is also the same.The third foundation-building monk has white hair and a childish face. He is one level higher than Pei Xiangrong and the clan leader, and one generation higher.

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

When the patriarch heard that Pei Ruxi and Pei Chenglie seemed to be at odds, he asked with concern: "Is there no big trouble?"

Pei Xiangrong smiled: "No, it's just children playing around, not worth mentioning."

The clan leader always trusted Pei Xiangrong, so he looked around the clan members in the room without asking any questions and said, "The Su family is related to us by marriage, but they deliberately alienated us. I'm afraid they secretly made a contract with the Lin family that we don't know about, and they have bad intentions. "

He sighed and said with worry: "We, the Pei family, don't have many people, and our ancestors are closed to each other. The Su family still abides by the rules and doesn't attack us, but the Lin family is becoming more and more domineering. Last year, we were beaten by the Lin family again We invaded 23 acres of spiritual land, and I personally met with the head of the Su clan, but he didn’t say he would help us seek justice, nor did he say he wouldn’t help us. He just stood by and watched.”

Everyone's expressions turned ugly. Lingtian was the foundation of the Pei family in Luoxia City. Without Lingtian, wouldn't the Pei family become a small, declining family?

Pei Xiangrong was playing with the small and exquisite wine glass, his eyes dark.

The sixth uncle moved his eyelids, stared at the patriarch and said: "The patriarch of the Su family is your brother-in-law. You have not treated his biological sister well these years, but instead doted on a village girl who has been married and had children. How can the Su family give this to you?" How do you look? I won’t kick you out because you shoulder the position of the patriarch of our Pei family and don’t want to hurt the harmony between Pei family and his Su family!"

The patriarch lowered his head in shame.

The sixth uncle said: "Drive away the village aunt and her son, sincerely plead guilty to your wife, and ask her to take you back to her natal home to seek help from her patriarch brother, do you understand?"

The patriarch wanted to argue: "Uncle Liu, Jing'er and I love each other. It would be too heartless to drive him away right away!"

The sixth uncle stroked his gray beard and said more ruthlessly: "Are you willing to take away the 23 acres of spiritual land from the Lin family, but unwilling to drive away the village girl and the wild bastard she gave birth to? Okay, today next year will be the village girl's death anniversary!"

"No! Never!" The clan leader panicked, "Uncle Six, please don't get angry, I will send Jing'er away immediately! Please Uncle Six, please spare her life!"

"Come here!" Uncle Six called the guards in loudly, saving some face for the clan leader. "The clan leader's concubine stole the Pei family's treasures. The Pei family cannot keep such a thief. I order you to quickly take her away." Drive out of the ancestral home! And make this matter public!"

He casually fabricated a charge, and the guards immediately took the order and left.

The beloved concubine was driven away and splashed with dirty water. The clan leader lost his mind and turned pale.

Pei Xiangrong glanced at him with disdain in his heart, and said through a message: "Brother, don't worry, there are people in the guard who are mine, and they won't do anything too wrong."

"Second brother understands my difficulties and can share my worries." The clan leader replied through a message.

He regained some energy, sorted out his messy thoughts, and then talked with his tribe about last year's events and this year's arrangements.

Due to the loss of more than 20 acres of spiritual land last year, Pei's income will be reduced this year. Some people have proposed reducing the cultivation resources given to monks by the clan.

This man is the seventh in the same generation as Pei Xiangrong, his name is Pei Jinfan, and he is the biological son of his sixth uncle.

Pei Jinfan said: "Second brother, your Linggen daughter has excellent qualifications that day. You don't need to give her the resources to practice. Her cultivation level has also increased as fast as flying. Moreover, your daughter is outgoing and female cultivators are weak. As for cultivation, you can just practice casually." There’s no need to take it too seriously. Anyway, with the qualifications of Tianzhu Tianlinggen, even if she doesn’t practice, there will be many people who want to marry her and have children.”

Pei Jinsheng, who ranked sixth, echoed: "That's right. Girls cultivating immortals is a waste of the clan's resources. The second brother's daughter is sensible and does not need resources for cultivation. Other girls have to learn from her. As I say, don't give it this year. Those girls have resources.”

The two of them peeked at Pei Xiangrong's face from time to time. Pei Xiangrong thought of Pei Ruxi's deliberate targeting of Pei Chenglie, and neither said that he would not provide resources nor that he would give them.

If a son misbehaves, he can be beaten, and if a daughter misbehaves, she should also suffer.

He had to let Pei Ruxi know that without his protection, Pei Ruxi had excellent seventh-dimensional spiritual roots, and the putrid quagmire of the Pei family would not cherish her, but would only cruelly submerge her.

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

 Why does Qidian's collection always increase and decrease?

  The status of the work has changed today, I’m happy.

  In addition, the author's account can speak in "This Chapter Talk", but cannot speak in the comment area. The author of the comments in the comment area wants to reply.

  To explain, Pei Ruxi is the only female protagonist. No one will wrong the author if she feels wronged, and all those who bully her will be beaten back by her.
