Chapter 45 I can’t help but feel helpless

"Haha." Pei Xiangrong said with a smile, "Xi Xi is deeply loved by her ancestors, and her marriage is decided by her ancestors. What are your motives for making random assumptions about my engagement to Xi Xi?"

"I'm just curious, I don't mean anything bad." Pei Jinfan quickly distanced himself and pretended to sigh, "If we were married to the Lin family, our situation would definitely not be so bad, but it's a pity..."

"What's the pity?" Pei Xiangrong asked.

Pei Jinfan did not dare to mention Pei Ruxi, and said hypocritically: "It's a pity that we and the Lin family were not married back then." Looking around the hall, his eyes fell on the fifth uncle Pei, "If Aunt Ying is willing to endure, she will be one of the heads and wives of the Lin family." How could the position be snatched away by Luo Mingzhu?"

Aunt Ying is the biological aunt of Uncle Pei Wu. When she was young, she made a marriage arrangement with Lin Hongyuan, the young patriarch of the Lin family, and married into the Lin family.Later, Lin Hongyuan died, Yinggu returned to the Pei family's ancestral home, and Lin Hongyuan's clan brother Lin Hongshe became the new clan leader.

It is said that Lin Hongshe once asked Aunt Ying to stay in the Lin family and hoped that Aunt Ying would marry him, but Aunt Ying did not agree.

To this day, Lin Hongshe is the uncompromising leader of the Lin clan, and Luo Mingzhu is the wife of the Lin clan clan leader.Yinggu lived like a transparent person in the Pei family's ancestral home. She rarely communicated with her clan members and never came to the hall of the ancestral hall to discuss important matters of the Pei family.Even her nephew Pei Wushu, she ignored him, and all contact between her aunt and nephew was almost cut off.

Therefore, when Pei Jinfan mentioned Aunt Ying, Fifth Uncle Pei looked at him without any expression.

Pei Jinfan still wanted to speak, but the patriarch Pei Jinlun said: "The family puts interests first, and in-laws are of no use. I married the sister of the patriarch of the Su family, and the Lin family bullied us, while the Su family stood aside. If I had known that the Su family would do this, why would I marry Su? My daughter as my wife? At least I can live a happier life by marrying Jing'er, whom I like."

He sighed, put down the melancholy in his heart, and asked Pei Jinfan: "Do you have any good way to deal with Lin's request?"

"I've told you a good idea," Pei Jinfan said, "The Lin family wants to marry Pei Ruxi, and my eldest brother has promised to marry Pei Ruxi to them. They will definitely not be embarrassed to steal our blue and white spirit fish, and will also give us a betrothal gift."

"This..." Pei Jinlun hesitated, "If my niece has the spiritual root of the seventh heaven in the past, I am afraid that no one in the Lin family is worthy of her."

"It doesn't matter if the qualifications are not good enough." Pei Jinfan ate a piece of snack made from spiritual rice, smacked it and said, "Lin Hongshe has the three spiritual roots of metal, wood and fire, and Luo Mingzhu has the fifth degree of fire spiritual root. The two of them will do the same. Husband and wife. If Mrs. Lin can afford the betrothal gift for marrying the Seventh Heaven Spiritual Root, we will marry Pei Ruxi to Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin will let Pei Ruxi marry whoever she wants."

Pei Jinlun weighed the pros and cons of marrying Pei Ruxi to the Lin clan, looked at Pei Xiangrong who was drinking, and said, "Second brother, what do you have in mind?"

Pei Xiangrong said: "Clan leader, Xixi was promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining last year, and this year he can reach the tenth level of Qi Refining."

"What? So fast?" Pei Jinlun was shocked, "How could she practice so fast?"

"Of course he ate the benefits himself and didn't give them to the clan." Pei Jinfan said in a strange voice, "The second brother is selfish, and the daughter he raised is also selfish. He uses the resources given by the clan and is unwilling to contribute anything to the clan. benefit."

His words aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. Pei Jinsheng looked at Pei Xiangrong and said, "Elder, why don't you give the opportunity to the tribesmen in need? Your daughter is only nine years old this year, and she has reached the ninth level of Qi refining all of a sudden. It's too fast. According to I think that with such a high level of cultivation, she must help the clan and not take advantage of the clan in vain."

"The fourth level of Qi refining can help the clan, how can the ninth level of Qi refining do nothing?" Sanshu Pei said.

"She is a water spirit root. Let her raise fish. All the fish ponds in the clan will be raised for her." Fourth Uncle Pei agreed.

Pei Xiangrong didn't even look at the two younger brothers and said, "Before going to Su's Academy, I spent sixteen months raising blue and white spirit fish. Now she is a monk at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and I will arrange her work. , lead her to contribute to the clan."

"You should do things as you should, but as Pei Ruxi's father, what should you do if you favor and protect her?" Pei Jinfan refused to give up.

"The patriarch heard it with his own ears. My ancestor told me to take care of Xixi." Pei Xiangrong said, "Seventh brother is dissatisfied with my ancestor. Please ask your ancestor for an explanation."

Pei Jinfan was speechless.

Pei Jinlun said: "Ruxi's niece has to ask the ancestors about her marriage, but the ancestors didn't nod. Even if Ruxi's niece decides to marry someone else, it won't count. As for Ruxi's niece's arrangements..." He muttered, "Let's take care of the marriage." Let her raise the blue and white spirit fish in the mountain, she has experience in raising fish."

"Where are the training resources for this year?" Pei Jinfan pointed at Pei Ruxi with determination, "Pei Ruxi's training progress is fast. She must have concealed the opportunity and not turned it over to the clan. There is no need to give her training resources in the next ten years!"

"Spiritual food must be given, but nothing else can be given," Pei Jinlun said.

Pei Xiangrong and Pei Ruxi were already united. After hearing this, he immediately argued with Pei Jinlun: "Clan leader, the past opportunities have nothing to do with the clan. The clan has no rules requiring her to hand over the opportunities..." However, Pei Jinlun was dissatisfied that he and Pei Ruxi had taken the opportunities for themselves. , Pei Jinsheng and others were also dissatisfied. Pei Ruxi's cultivation resources ended up at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and were cut off by two-thirds.

At the same time, Pei Ruxi has to feed ten acres of fish ponds and can get 100 yuan of spiritual stones a month.

Pei Xiangrong used the messenger talisman to inform Pei Ruxi of the matter.

Pei Ruxi, who was eating, frowned, finished the meal, stood up and said to Uncle Pei, "Uncle Eighth, I'm leaving."

Uncle Pei's cultivation was the same as hers. He didn't stop her strength or her ideas. He said: "Please use your discretion and don't make things worse."

Pei Ruxi nodded, turned around and saw Pei Yuxia, and said hello: "Sister Yuxia."

Pei Yuxia, who was two years older than her and still at the fifth level of Qi Refining, asked her: "Are you going to the hall of the ancestral hall?"

Pei Ruxi should be.

"What's going on with the clan?" Pei Yuxia was fed up with the clan elders who made everyone unhappy every New Year's Day.

"Reduce my resources and ask me to feed ten acres of blue and white fish." Pei Ruxi said simply.

"Why?" Pei Yuxia didn't understand.

"Because I didn't give the third-level spiritual fruit to the clan." Pei Rushi said, "This is my business alone. You can eat with everyone."

Pei Yuxia grabbed her and said, "Sister Ruxi, I want to help you."

Pei Ruxi felt her kindness and said, "I don't want to see you punished because of me."

Pei Ruxi came to the ancestral hall, and the guards blocked her way, "Fifth Miss, please don't embarrass us."

They did things according to orders, and Pei Ruxi didn't want to embarrass them, nor did he want to wrong himself.So she cast a spell to bind the guards, passed them to the hall of the ancestral hall, and saw the patriarch and two elders.

The patriarch didn't want to see Pei Ruxi, "What are you doing here?"

Pei Ruxi: "I can accept your reduction of my cultivation resources. However, you ask me to feed ten acres of fish ponds and give me 100 yuan of spiritual stones a month. This is too bullying. Before, I fed half an acre of fish ponds. It’s ten spiritual stones a month, and ten acres of fish ponds will give me 200 spiritual stones a month.”

The clan leader said: "Your food, clothing, and housing are provided by the clan, so you have to contribute to the clan."

Pei Ruxi: "Others get 200 yuan of spiritual stones for feeding ten acres of fish ponds, and I want it too."

The patriarch said: "You get more than others, and you should pay more than others."

Pei Ruxi felt that his words were one-sided, but he was not good at speaking and didn't know how to refute him.

She glanced at the clan leader in the early stage of foundation establishment, then at her sixth uncle in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and walked to sit next to Pei Xiangrong.Pei Xiangrong picked up a piece of snack and brought it to her mouth, teasing her with a smile: "Xixi, ah."

"Thank you, Dad, I'll eat it myself." Pei Ruxi took the snack and ate it.

The snacks are sweet, and the sweetness lingers on the tip of the tongue, but cannot be conveyed to the heart.
