The old patriarch is indeed a thousand-year-old fox who knows everything.

Even Chen Jian is not very clear about this matter in Zhihua Technology.

Unexpectedly, the old patriarch was able to learn such important information.

Li Xiang looked at the old patriarch pretending to be horrified, speechless for a long while.

The old patriarch continued with a somewhat smug smile:

"Li Xiang, I promise you to use this personal investment for at least one year for free."

Seeing that Li Xiang didn't have the slightest intention to express his opinion, the old patriarch decided to give another dose of strong medicine and said:
"Don't worry! I won't bully you either. As long as you make other reasonable requests, I will try my best to satisfy you with the authority of my patriarch. Of course, this also includes the fact that you mentioned adding Zhang Ling Xiaodouzi to the family tree."

After hearing this, Li Xiang relaxed his frown a lot.

But his expression is still dignified.

After all, the core secret of Zhihua Technology was discovered by an outsider.

It would be reasonable for Li Xiang to show serious worry.

Zhang Ling saw Li Xiang's face was a bit ugly, and nervously stepped forward to help him and asked:
"Are you OK."

She guessed that the old patriarch must have threatened someone or something that Li Xiang cared about most.

people?
She first thought of Xiaodouzi who had been playing with another little girl in the ancestral hall.

Zhang Ling wanted to move away with a worried face, and wanted to check Xiaodouzi's safety as soon as possible.

Before Li wanted to speak, the old patriarch smiled and explained:
"It's all right, you don't have to worry about it. He's just had unbelievably good news to digest."

These words seemed to be specially addressed to Zhang Ling.

Li Xiang then nodded and looked at Zhang Ling and explained:
"That's right! It's rare for the patriarch grandpa to take such good care of my grandson. I'm just not used to it for a while."

The old patriarch looked at Zhang Ling kindly and said with a smile:
"Anyway, I am Li Xiang's grandfather, and I will never do anything to deliberately harm my grandson."

As expected of an old fox.

The words against his will came out of his mouth.

Always have a sense of at least [-]% convincing.

If it weren't for Zhen Li wanting to introduce the old patriarch's ruthless personality in advance.

Because of these words, Li Xiang really thinks that the old patriarch is a simple and kind elder grandfather.

But Zhang Ling seemed to believe the old patriarch's expression to some extent.

With a bit of accusation, he said that Li Xiang didn't know how to treat elders and grandpas with respect.

Everything went through a lot of twists and turns according to the real Li Xiang's setting.

The old patriarch happily agreed to Li Xiang's three requests.

which is:
Second, after he takes over as patriarch, he must be allowed to join the Li Family Consortium and have one vote of the Li Family Consortium's decision-making power.

Because Zhen Li Xiang has not been welcomed by the old patriarch.

No matter how good he used to be in the family?

The old patriarch never thought of letting Li Xiang join the Li's consortium.

Article [-], after he takes over as the patriarch, he has the absolute right to speak.

Even the old patriarch cannot use his status as an elder to interfere in all his decisions.

Maybe the old patriarch agreed to these requests too readily.

Li Xiang, an outsider, also began to worry about the fate of the real Li Xiang.

Because like Zhang Ling, he also faintly felt that the old patriarch was definitely planning a big conspiracy against the real Li Xiang.

A towering tree must have its roots;
The water that surrounds the mountain must have its source.

As we all know, bright and filling scores are only performed in the ancestor worship ceremony in the Year of the Dragon and Tiger.

Generally, when filling out the notation, the shaman will choose an auspicious day, and the patriarch will lead the clan to kneel in front of the genealogy.

The old patriarch lit the candles on the altar, and then lit a stick of incense in the incense burner.

After the incense burns for a while, the patriarch recites the sacrificial speech, then kowtows three times, and the patriarch and the shaman please take down the music box, remove the outer red cloth, unfold it and hang it on the west wall.

After the family tree is opened, a yellow silk curtain should be hung on it to prevent others from directly seeing the family tree.

It turns out that this is a hanging type filling in the family tree.

This is not the same as a book-style family tree, but a family tree that is hung or rolled up for collection.

The folks call it the genealogical axis (referred to as the hanging book).

This kind of family tree is actually a kind of family tree scroll, which is generally large in size, with stylized patterns drawn on it and blank spaces for filling in.

Patterns were traditionally drawn by hand by professional painters.

The patterns generally include halls and pavilions, mascots such as pine and bamboo.

There are altars painted in the pavilion, on which there are tablets with the words "worship the ancestors of the past dynasties".

Spaces of different sizes are drawn in turn on both sides of the altar, like tablets, used to fill in the names of deceased ancestors, elders or people of the same clan.

The order of the names is generally arranged according to the highest seniority, and the other elders are arranged in order of seniority.

When arranging, follow the traditional habit of men left and women right, and husband and wife should be more symmetrical.

The writer will report the list of living and dead tribe members in each branch in the past 12 years, and the tribe will confirm it again.

And the writer used a red pen to fill in the name of the person who was born under his father's name, and used the ink pen to mark the red name of the dead person in black.

If there is no child, it is necessary to be adopted by the next generation (uncles and brothers), and both families will be present to instruct the adoptive name to be filled in by the writer.

Under the instruction of the old patriarch, the writer even wrote the names of Zhang Ling and Xiaodouzi into the genealogy.

It is worth noting that in the genealogy of the Li clan, the words "match" and "marry" are used together for men to marry, but it must be understood that these two words are different.

Matching and second matching both refer to a woman's first marriage;
Marriage and succession both refer to the woman's remarriage (that is, remarriage).

So Zhang Ling used the word "matching" in the genealogy.

Start the moment the writer puts pen to paper!
The souls of their family of three seem to have an inexplicable bond at this point.

Looking at the writing brush in the hand of the writer, dancing stroke by stroke, she began to unconsciously recall all the beautiful moments in her mind.

When I met Li Xiang for the first time on a blind date, he had an embarrassing appearance of a migrant worker;

On the first date, he boldly asked him to take her to the barren mountains to see the wind turbines, and stood at the wind to enjoy the refreshing feeling of the wind blowing every inch of the skin;

There was laughter when Xiaodouzi called Li Xiang's father for the first time, and the family of three went to Disneyland for the first time.

……

When the names of the family of three were perfectly presented on the genealogy, the beautiful things in her mind came to an appropriate end.

She smiled and looked sideways. From the moment their eyes met, she found that he was looking at her with warmth.

As Haizi described in "Summer Sun":

I think of children born during the day

must be intentional
you come to the world

you have to look at the sun
and your sweetheart
walking down the street together

get to know her

also know the sun
……

At that moment, time seemed to stand still on purpose.

Let her know clearly.

Come to the world to see the sweetheart who makes her happy.

At this moment, although we are not walking romantically on the street together.

But the happiness of a family of three whose names are written in the same family tree is still difficult to express.

Now she is more eager to understand him than ever before.

If she hadn't been concerned about the current situation, she really wanted to hug|hug|kiss him impulsively in front of everyone.

In order to show favor to Li Xiang, the old patriarch deliberately made Xiaodouzi the eldest sister of his great-grandchildren despite the uncertainty of Xiaodouzi's birth date.

The eldest sister of the great-grandchildren enjoys the privilege of preferentially enjoying the family's high-quality resources.

That is to say, Xiaodouzi has the priority to choose any resources with limited quota.

As for Li Xiang's succession ceremony of the patriarch, it is planned to be held during the time of offering sacrifices to heaven.

The score-filling ceremony is over.

Before, there were quite a few people who targeted Li Xiang with their words and deeds.

At this moment, the dormitory is full of joy and harmony.

I can't wait to take out my heart in front of Li Xiang to express my sincerity.

Maybe some parents of the tribe have to let go of their status just for the sake of their children. When Xiaodouzi gives up his privileges, he can think of their children;
Maybe some clansmen had to let go of their posture because of their words and deeds that offended Li Xiang in the past, and asked Li Xiang not to remember the mistakes of villains;
The so-called emperor and courtier.

Maybe some clansmen have no choice but to let go of their pride just to have a stage to show their strengths, just to fight for more favor with those who have ghosts.

……

No matter what purpose these people have?
Li Xiang's family sacrifice, the phased substitute task, has been completed.

The only thing left to worry about is Zhen Li Xiang.

Now he just wants to join hands with Zhang Ling to leave this place as soon as possible, to find the little Douzi who is having a good time playing somewhere.

After walking through a few doors, I returned to the Xiangtang area.

Xiaodouzi was not found, but Qi Diaozhe appeared in front of him for some reason.

"Master Qi, why did you appear here?" Before Qi Diaozhe could answer, Li Xiang said with a teasing smile, "Oh, you are the illegitimate son of someone from my Li family. My son came here specially to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan."

Li wanted to know that it was probably Li Pan's masterpiece.

He already knew the relationship between Li Pan and Qi Diaozhe through the last meeting.

After all, their relationship is no secret.

As Li Pan, he could bring a friend into the ancestral hall.

Qi Diaozhe waved his hands with a slightly livid face and explained:
"It turns out that Mr. Li has always said what he says in the business world, and he pays the most attention to the spirit of the contract."

Having said that, he deliberately paused, observing that Li Xiang's face was slightly dignified.

So I'm sure he's on the right track.

So he smashed his mouth and shook his head and continued:

"It seems that the rumors are just rumors, without any credibility."

Looking at Zhang Ling who was at the side again, she tried to instigate:
"Ling'er, I would like to remind you as a friendly reminder that a man like Mr. Li is very dangerous. I don't want to see you get hurt because of him. My heart will hurt then."

Qi Diaozhe was covering his chest with one hand, with the painful look on his face, one would think that he was really sick from a distance.

Zhang Ling didn't make Li Xiang speak. She took two steps forward, feeling like she was protecting Li Xiang and said:

"Heartache! Haha, Master Qi, did you come to tell me a joke on purpose? I didn't know you still have a heart! If possible, can you satisfy my curiosity and let me see your heart? Where?"

It's a bad feeling to hide behind a woman's back.

Li wanted to try several times to stand up.

Unfortunately, they all ended in failure.

The main reason is that I worry that my excessive behavior will inadvertently hurt Zhang Ling.

That would give Qi Diaozhe another excuse to provoke him.

"My heart is..."

Qi Diaozhe smiled triumphantly, patted his chest with one hand, and just said a few words, he realized the hidden meaning of this question.

Where did Zhang Ling ask her where is her heart?

And it was short of saying directly that Qi Diaozhe had no intentions at all.

"Say it! Where are you?" Zhang Ling urged with some disdain.

Qi Diaozhe explained with an awkward smile:
"Well, you can pretend that I'm careless. After all, I, Qi Diaozhe, owe you something."

Zhang Ling sneered and said:

"No, you mustn't talk like that. It makes our relationship seem extraordinary. But in fact we have no relationship at all."

She suddenly remembered that her name had already been placed in the Li family tree.

In front of Qi Diaozhe, he took Li Xiang's arm and continued:

"I'm sure you've heard of it too. My Zhang Ling's identity on the Li family tree is Li Xiang's wife. So the opposite sex with whom Zhang Ling has a close relationship with is Li Xiang. My husband!"

When she said the words "my husband", she buried her blushing face in Li Xiang's arms.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Qi Diaozhe's blood pressure instantly rose, his head was dizzy and he almost lost his footing.

"Okay, okay, very good!" Qi Diaozhe looked at Li Xiang with eyes like a wolf, "Mr. Li, you are really good! It's really fun to play secretly with Chen Cang. It's ridiculous that I chose to believe in your contract spirit. "

When Li Xiang heard Qi Diaozhe's accusation, a trace of guilt appeared on his face.

In order to eliminate his sense of guilt, Zhang Ling deliberately snorted at Qi Diaozhe and said:

"That's not right. I seem to remember that breaking one's word is your patent, Master Qi. What's more, my Li Xiang is not as bad as you are."

"But he..."

Zhang Ling followed Qi Diaozhe's words and continued:
"That's right! We are indeed together now. We were together before we met you again. We have a lovely daughter. And we both love this daughter very much."

Li Xiang was overjoyed to hear this, while Qi Diao was stuck in his throat.

"When I found my husband last night, he has been fulfilling his responsibilities as a father. As a wife, how can I easily give up my responsibilities as a mother?"

Only then did Qi Diaozhe realize that he had lost to the child.

And it's an unrelated child.

"Although I don't know how you cunningly let my husband reach a bullshit gentleman's agreement with you that he can't meet with me. But my husband has always kept it very honestly."

Qi Diaozhe didn't believe Zhang Ling's words.

Just when he was about to open his mouth to refute, Zhang Ling's cold gaze made Qi Diaozhe's body shiver.

"It wasn't until I found out that your gentleman's agreement created a huge contradiction with our fulfilling our parents' responsibilities. I didn't realize that your Qi Diaozhe's intentions are so evil and vicious!"

"I...why am I evil and vicious?" Qi Diaozhe asked inexplicably.

Endless disappointment appeared in Zhang Ling's eyes again and continued:

"You, Qi Diaozhe, are willing to be a complete scumbag. You want Li Xiang to become a complete scumbag like you. You want to prevent Li Xiang from becoming a responsible husband!"

Qi Diaozhe tried to argue:

"I didn't. I..."

Zhang Ling didn't give him a chance to argue, she gave him a vicious look and continued:

"That's why it's not enough for you to hurt me once. So you think it's not enough to use Li Xiang to hurt me again, right?"

Qi Diaozhe tried to argue again:

"No, it's not...you listen to me..."

Zhang Ling scolded loudly:

"To shut up!"

Seeing that Qi Diaozhe no longer continued to argue, she seemed to recall her bitterness in the past ten years again in her mind.

With tears of disappointment in her eyes, she shook her head and said:

"It's nothing more than you hurting me as an adult one after another. How could you plan so viciously that we, husband and wife, would hurt another child who was hurt before. So that my Xiaodouzi wouldn't have a complete family!"
