Chapter 133

"Sacrifice to the ancestors, my lords: today... come to offer incense to your ancestors, and hope that the ancestors will bless the descendants of the Chen family in Changshun and safety! One kowtow, two kowtows, three kowtows! Open the family tree!" The priest dragged out a long nasal voice, and after speaking, the two white-haired tribesmen worked together to open the family tree.

In the silent hall, only the clang of the family tree could be heard, as if a century had passed before the priest said in a long voice: "The ceremony is over! Fire the cannon!"

"Uncle Clan, please take a step!" Wang hurriedly pushed through the crowd and came in front of the Patriarch Chen.

Li Sanlin's father in the Chen family is the largest in the family business, so he has a certain status in this family. Similarly, the Wang family also has a certain amount of weight in speaking.

The elders of the Chen Clan were not very happy to see such a big event involving a woman from the Daoist family. The patriarch asked in an unhappy voice: "My nephew, this is a big event in the Chen Clan. What's the matter with you? Go home." explain!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly saluted: "Uncle, my nephew and daughter-in-law, although I am a woman, I always remember the prosperity of the Chen family! The issue of family heirs is not just a family matter, so my niece and daughter-in-law I would like to ask for the consent of the elders in the clan, which is a little bit of my mother's heart! Clan uncle, you also know that my father's family is weak, and he is the only one who has this flesh and blood son, and I feel uneasy as a first wife!"

The patriarch nodded when he heard Wang's words and said, "I know I can't blame you, my nephew, it's because Zhongsheng's nephew hit the heirs weak! You have done your duty! But what do you want to say today?"

Wang pretended to be virtuous and open-minded and bowed to all the elders: "Everyone, uncles, niece and daughter-in-law Wang herself is incapable of doing anything for the master, and I feel very uneasy! Now that the old man has found his flesh and blood, my heart is broken." I am also very pleased! It's just that Lin Da'er is over [-] years old and has only one man and one woman. He has not married a wife of the Lu family for three years, so the niece and daughter-in-law specially selected two women from a good family for the sake of Chen's generation. Serve the uncle together with my daughter-in-law, so that I can spread the branches and leaves for the Chen family as soon as possible, and now I invite all the elders of the clan to bear witness!"

"Hehe, good deeds and good deeds! What a double blessing! Jilin's nephew and grandson are really lucky! But, Mrs. Wang, you don't need to ask the family for this matter, you only need to nod from Jilin's first wife, Mrs. Lu!" An uncle in the clan laughed loudly. !
"Good thing! Sister-in-law really deserves to be a good mistress!" This is a cousin in the clan, who relies on Master Chen for food.

Wang's heart is full of pride, this has surpassed the ordinary wives and good concubines in the clan, as long as there are no excessive things, it will not be easy to divorce!She smiled decently and said, "It's all uncles who praised you! Today is an auspicious day, and all the drinks and drinks at home have been prepared. I just need to ask the clan to agree, and then I will take care of things for them. Please come to the house at night, all elders." Have a glass of light wine!"

The uncle laughed "haha" and said, "Okay, we have to have a good drink tonight, everyone go home and prepare a gift! It can be regarded as a little love from our uncles to our nephew!"

The patriarch also felt that this was a family matter, and besides, it was for the sake of the Chen family's heirs. : "Mr. Lu, are you willing?"

Li Sanlin was about to step forward, but Lu Yumin gave him a gentle tug before replying, "Patriarch please! My nephew and granddaughter-in-law are not willing to do this!"

In an instant, the faces of the elders in the clan changed drastically, and the clan leader scolded: "Mr. Lu, you have to think about it before answering! Let me ask you again, are you willing to take a concubine for your husband?"

Lu Yumin said calmly: "The Hui clan speaks a long word, but my nephew and granddaughter-in-law don't want it!"

There has never been such a bold woman in the Chen family. This time Lu Yumin completely angered the elders of the clan, and the elders were indeed furious: "Lu family, you are so jealous, how can you be worthy of the position of the first wife of the eldest son of the Chen family?" Do you want Jilin's nephew and grandson to divorce his wife?"

Li Sanlin was in a hurry and wanted to speak, but Lu Yumin grabbed him again, and then smiled slightly: "Patriarch, please don't be angry, let me explain the reason, Mrs. Lu!"

The patriarch's expression was not good, but he didn't dare to be unreasonable in front of the clansmen, so he said in a bad tone: "I see how cunning you are! If there is no legitimate reason, I will let the Chen family divorce you in the name of the patriarch. !"

Lu Yumin gave the patriarch a disgusted look, while the Wang family on the other side showed a smug look on his face, resisting the disgust, Lu Yumin respectfully blessed him: "Elders, as a wife and daughter-in-law, the Lu family is a branch of the Chen family. Scattering leaves is originally a responsibility, but also a duty. There is indeed a reason for refusing to accept relatives to Xianggong here today. Before my aunt proposed to take a concubine to Xianggong a few days ago, my husband had clearly rejected her willingness! Elders, I'm afraid the Lu family is not in charge of this matter!"

"Oh? Nephew, is this true?" The patriarch asked in surprise, isn't this the most normal thing for a man to marry a wife and take a concubine?This first wife agrees, how can there be something that the man himself disagrees with?
Li Sanlin smiled slightly and bowed to the end: "What the head of the Hui family said, my daughter-in-law didn't lie, she really meant what I meant! The grandnephew had already reported it to his mother that day. My two children are closer than my own mother! When the eldest son came out of the anesthesia clinic, he cried and screamed. It was she who went to the ancestral hall to accompany the eldest son for ten days, so that the eldest son survived safely! Such a daughter-in-law, how can I accept another woman for the next life? Some sons and daughters come to her to gamble?"

The patriarch nodded slightly: "As a stepmother, the Lu family is indeed a good mistress if she can do this. It's just that she hasn't been born for three years, and you have only one son and one daughter! There are not many bastards in any family What about the concubine? Why bother to care about these things!"

Li Sanlin bowed again: "Patriarchs, it's not that my daughter-in-law is incapable of giving birth, it's just that she hasn't taken good care of her health. I've invited the best doctor in the city to see her. Her health is fine! I am a bastard myself. I know the helplessness of a bastard, so I will never give birth to a bastard in this life!"

The patriarch was even more confused: "Mr. Wang, what's going on with you? Whether this man wants to take a concubine or not? Although the elders can interfere, you have to respect his opinion, right?"

Wang cast a contemptuous look at Li Sanlin and his wife before saying, "Uncle, Lin'er said just now that he would not take concubines and have no concubine children, but he has no concubine, so he can marry a common wife, right? Those born in that way are not concubines! "

Mr. Chen’s family’s main branch of the family’s economy, Wang’s words also have to be considered, so the patriarch thought for a while and said: “As long as she is a woman from a good family and her status is decent, it is reasonable to marry an ordinary wife for this reason! Grandnephew, what do you think?” statement?"

Lu Yumin nodded slightly at Li Sanlin, and he replied respectfully: "Patriarch, what the aunt said is reasonable. It's just that my nephew and grandson have already stated that my first wife Lu's status is extraordinary, how can I marry a woman who was born as a slave to insult her?" Woolen cloth?"

The patriarch was taken aback: "What's the difference in the identity of the nephew and granddaughter-in-law? Could it be that the daughter of some great family is not successful?"

Wang said disdainfully: "Uncle, the father of this daughter-in-law used to be a well-known scholar! It's just been many years! Although the two girls I chose were born as slaves, they have now recognized my distant relatives as relatives. There is not much difference in birth!"

Li Sanlin shook his head and said, "Ma'am, you are wrong! My father-in-law passed away a few years ago, but my daughter-in-law and elder brother are still here. Although they are not from a great family, their status is indeed noble!"

Mrs. Wang snorted: "What kind of noble status? Is it still impossible to be a high-ranking official! You just made up an excuse on purpose. I have never heard that this daughter-in-law has any noble relatives!"

The patriarch also didn't believe that his grand-nephew used to be a person who couldn't even eat enough. Even if the grand-nephew's daughter-in-law had one or two wealthy relatives, it was impossible to say that the family was an official family!

Is there a lady from an official family married to a farmer?

Even if there are any rich relatives, they can't go anywhere!The Chen family is quite wealthy in this place. The Wang family is the head of the house, and the Lu family is the concubine's daughter-in-law. The patriarch still weighs the importance clearly in his heart!So he cleared his throat and said: "Nephew Jilin, I think you still respect your aunt's meaning. Since she cares about you so much and agrees to marry you a common wife, don't refuse! I think you can't object, Mrs. Lu." Bar?"

Lu Yumin is really disgusting to this patriarch. It's your business to please the Wang family. How can you be so unfair?A husband and wife are unwilling to let other women in. You, the patriarch, don't speak your conscience, but use your power to suppress others?

Lu Yumin was very annoyed. Didn't your patriarch presume to have me as a scholar's daughter, so it's impossible that I don't have some noble relatives?So I don't have to be polite, just don't be so scared that you piss in a while!
snort!Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, I still understand the ranking!Although this patriarch is the patriarch, but in the past twenty years, the development of the patriarch is far inferior to that of Chen Zhongsheng!

Lu Yumin still looked calm: "Patriarch, if my husband-in-law disagrees, please forgive my nephew and granddaughter-in-law for not following orders!"

When the patriarch heard this, he immediately felt ashamed: "You! Really thought it would be okay without your consent? With such an immoral daughter-in-law, the clan can decide to divorce her!"

Lu Yumin smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll just wait for the patriarch to decide to divorce me! Let's see why the patriarch divorced me. I want to show the world how fair the patriarch of the Chen family is." !"

The patriarch was furious: "Come here, wait for me with pen and ink! How can such a shrew be included in my Chen family tree!"

Chen Zhongsheng was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Patriarch, please calm down! The child is young and doesn't know the severity, so my nephew will persuade them both!"

Li Sanlin saw that the patriarch had come for real, and that Mr. Tang hadn't appeared, he was a little nervous, so seeing Lu Yumin was very disturbed, Lu Yumin smiled at him, signaling him not to panic.

The patriarch saw that Chen Zhongsheng began to intercede, so he had no choice but to take care of his face, turned to Li Sanlin and asked, "Nephew Jilin, express your opinion!"
