Chapter 23 Little Patriarch

With a cold face, Huang Xianzun picked up his cup, took a few sips of tea, put down the cup, looked at Li Wengang, and asked in a cold voice: "Li Wengang, you know nothing about what Li Wencai and his family in your clan have done. right?"

"Li Wencai is in Xiaolizhuang, the little one..." Li Wengang sweated coldly on his forehead.

"Then let me ask you again, did you think of Li Xiucai's high school trip, or not?" Huang Xianzun then asked.

"I think, no, I didn't expect that." Li Wengang stammered.

"Li Xiucai is an orphan, with three sisters and one younger sister. He is the only boy. He is only 17 years old this year, and he is still a child. Let me ask you, Li Xiucai is going to Hangzhou this time. Who will accompany him in your clan? of?" Huang Xianzun looked at Li Wengang.

Li Wengang looked up at Huang Xianzun, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

How could he know!He didn't know that Li Xuedong had entered high school until he received the good news.

"Who accompanied Li Xiucai to Pingjiang City for the April Mansion Examination?" Huang Xianzun raised his voice, obviously very unhappy.

Li Wengang bent down, his head almost touching the ground.

"Then let me ask you again, Li Xiucai passed the county examination in February, do you know about this?"

"I know, I know!" Li Wengang hurriedly straightened his upper body, nodding non-stop.

He really knew about it.

"When did you know? How did you know?" Huang Xianzun's tone softened.

"Just two days after he passed the county test, his elder sister pushed him over in a small car. He was in the ancestral hall, right there, and we were all there. He said that he took the third place in the county test, and said he would Go to the examination office, come to ask for copper tin..."

Li Wengang's words stopped abruptly.

Li Xuedong and his elder sister came to ask for copper tin, but they didn't give any.

"Well, I asked you for money, after that, you continue to talk." Huang Xianzun glanced at Li Wengang sideways, and picked up the cup.

"Well, this is the county test. In the small clan, everyone who got the first place in the county exam has passed the exam, but they didn't pass the exam later. In the past few years, the small clan has not been rich. Small, this is not a small one. People, it’s everyone, this is everyone’s meaning, it’s them! They all said that if the clan is poor, it’s better to wait for the Xuedong to be a scholar, and wait..."

Facing Huang Xianzun's cold sideways glance, Li Wengang's words became more and more vague.

"Well, I understand." Huang Xianzun slammed the cup on the table, raised his finger and pointed at the people kneeling on the ground, "What about you? Do you understand?
"The patriarch of your Li family, Li Wencai, murdered his fellow clansmen, allowed his descendants to commit crimes, and swallowed up other people's property. He knows nothing about it. The seed of your clan, a child prodigy like Li Xiucai, he doesn't care about it, and it's even more embarrassing. We need to let people get the talent first. Sigh!"

Huang Xianzun let out a long sigh, pointed at Li Wengang, looked at the crowd and said: "With such a patriarch, it's not surprising that your Li clan's family style is corrupt and your children fail."

Huang Xianzun sighed a few times, and swiped his fingers around, "How many rooms are your Li family divided into? Have the heads of each house come? If you come, stand up.

"Let me ask you, do you want to let such a person continue to be the patriarch, and continue to harm your Li family until you kill your Manchu family, or do you want to eliminate the evil and revive the family?"

"Naturally, we want to revive the reputation of the family. Please give advice from the county lord." Li Shikuan, the clan elder of Wangzifang, straightened his upper body hastily and raised his voice to answer.

"You all mean that?" Huang Xianzun looked at the heads of each house one by one.

The heads of each house met Huang Xianzun's eyes and nodded quickly.

"To revive the reputation of the family, you must elect another patriarch and patriarch. In my opinion, it's time to push a patriarch out first, and then the patriarch will lead you to negotiate a way to re-elect the patriarch. I will take some responsibility , I will be a witness for you." Huang Xianzun's voice softened.

"The villain thinks that we scholar should be our patriarch." A middle-aged man in Manzifang bowed to Huang Xianzun, cupped his hands at Li Xuedong, and raised his voice.

Li Xuedong stared wide-eyed, and waved his hands like windmills, "Ah? Me? No, no, no! I can't! No, no, no!"

"Cultivating one's morality and family, governing the country and the world, this is the duty of a scholar. Li Xiucai can't just care about himself. Your people are your reliance and your responsibility." Huang Xianzun looked at Li Xuedong with a gentle tone and expression. But solemnly.

"Yes." Li Xuedong didn't dare to wave his hand again when he was put under the big hat of Huang Xianzun. He could only say yes to what he said.

But how could he have the ability to be the patriarch, he has never even been a parent!

He was scared.

"In your clan, although there are dead branches like Li Wencai and ignorant people like Li Wengang, there are also many sensible, wise, kind-hearted people. These clan elders are not all ignorant. You, the clan leader, You must first learn to know how to employ people." Huang Xianzun taught Li Xuedong warmly.

Li Jinzhu stood beside him, staring at Li Xuedong and blinking non-stop. Li Xuedong subconsciously looked at his eldest sister, stunned for a moment, blessed to the heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Student, student often listens, listens, listens to the elders, Wang Zifang Tang Weng is very sensible, Mr. has also said that it is rare to find a Tang Weng who speaks Wang Zifang is very sensible, that..."

The old man Kuan stood among the elders of the various clans, with his head slightly lowered, showing a slight smile.

Their scholar is very smart, but he is a little young, and no one taught him before, but now he can react like this in a hurry, and he will definitely become a master in the future. This is their Li family. The blessing is even more the blessing of their Wangzifang.

"Uncle Lo is really reasonable and fair, and the people in Manzifang are most convinced by Uncle Lo!" the middle-aged man in Manzifang who spoke just now raised his voice.

"That's right! In these ten miles and eight villages, who doesn't say that uncle is good!" Third uncle Li Wenhua also hurriedly chimed in.

There was echoing sound all around.

"Which one is?" Huang Xianzun bowed slightly, looking at the elders of various clans standing in a group.

"Young Li Shikuan." Li Shikuan hurriedly stood up and bowed to Huang Xianzun.

"You don't want to refuse. Firstly, Li Xiucai is young. Secondly, the most important thing for Li Xiucai is to concentrate on his studies. In my opinion, he is the master of the family affairs. As for the daily chores, you can take care of your nephew and grandson. This is also a matter of the Li family." Huang Xianzun looked at Li Shikuan and said with a smile.

"Yes. I would like to take the county's orders." Li Shikuan replied respectfully.

"You must renegotiate the method, recommend the clan elders, and I am afraid that you will have to rewrite the clan rules. These are all meticulous efforts, so I will not keep watching. Choose a good clan elder, re-establish the clan rules, and let Li Xiucai Write a post for me to see." Huang Xianzun looked at Li Shikuan, then laughed.

Li Shikuan hurriedly bowed and agreed.
