Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 61
The two girls went to the town to discuss with the second wife for a while, and when they came back, they started to pack their luggage.

When they moved out, the old lady lying on the bed yelled and cursed viciously, and piled up all the curse words she had learned in her life on the two girls, just like scolding enemies.

The two girls lowered their heads, feeling very uncomfortable.

Others in the village felt sympathy for these two girls.

After the two girls moved into the new house, they lived a more comfortable life. Everyone thought that the old house should have nothing to do with them, until the Tang family proposed marriage.

This evening, the sky is full of sunshine.

Ye Qiongdan helped the second brother to practice walking in the yard with difficulty. The second brother's legs were difficult to use, and he had to hold a cane in one hand and be supported by someone in the other.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Hai Yatou put down the unwashed bowls in her hand, went to the yard and opened the door, and then her eyes widened in surprise.

Standing outside the door was a fluttering girl in a white dress. She smiled eagerly, looked around the yard, and finally fixed her eyes on Ye Qiongdan.

"Adan, grandpa and grandma asked me to come and see you," Piaoxu smiled slightly, "You haven't come to the old house for several days, they miss you very much."

"You hate me, right?" Ye Qiongdan said coolly, "Say what you have to say, don't go around the bush."

"Adan, it's a family after all, the bones are broken and the tendons are still connected," Piaoxu still maintained a decent smile, "there is no overnight feud between the family, your grandparents still love you after all, no, I also found a good marriage for you."

"What did you say?" Ye Qiongdan's expression changed drastically.

Ye Qinghan's eyes also flashed a touch of coldness, the aura released inadvertently at this moment actually made Piaoxu's breathing stagnate, she unconsciously turned her head away and lowered her eyes.

"This afternoon, Mr. Tang came to propose marriage on behalf of his eldest grandson. I heard that in order to marry you, that eldest grandson knelt at home for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, until the whole family had to compromise. It can be seen that Tang Xiaoxiu is right. You are true love. How many people want to marry Tang Xiaoxiu but are rejected by the Tang family? Now, the opportunity is in front of you, how can you not seize it?" Piaoxu persuaded.

"What conditions?" Ye Qiongdan asked coldly.

"Where...there are no conditions..." Piaoxu's eyes dodged.

"Don't think I'm being fooled! The Ye family and the Tang family have been feuding for a long time, even if the Tang family gave all their wealth with both hands, Mr. Ye may not be willing to settle the feud with him!" Ye Qiongdan knew Mr. Ye too well, he was narrow-minded, He is always jealous, loves face very much and is arrogant, so it is not so easy to let go of his hostile attitude towards the Tang family.

"Girl Dan, think about it carefully, the Tang family is such a face-saving family, you won't be able to bully you if you marry. If Tang Xiucai's father really wins the exam this year, will your good days be rare?"

"If you don't mention the conditions, I will invite you out!" Ye Qiongdan said firmly.

"I said, I said," Piaoxu said hastily, "Tang Xiucai's younger brother and the daughter of the dean of Jingde Academy agree in love, and because Tang Xiucai's father is doing very well in the school, the two families have been married for a long time. As long as Tang Xiucai's marriage is finalized, we will start discussing my younger brother's marriage."

"So the old man is planning to save the country in a curve, sacrificing my marriage, in exchange for the chance for the three of the big house to go back to school?" Ye Qiongdan sneered, "How much dowry does the Tang family plan to give?"

"Grandpa said no betrothal gifts..." Seeing that there was some anger in her tone, Piaoxu weakened her tone.

"No dowry? That's really a complete sacrifice!" Ye Qiongdan looked at Piaoxu and said word by word, "Please go back and tell the old man that if you want to sacrifice my marriage for the future of the three of you, there is no way! Snow girl ,see a visitor out!"

Ye Qiongxue pushed Piaoxu to the door, and said with a smile: "The third room and the first room have severed ties, your first room should stop making ideas on the third room, it's useless!"

Piaoxu was shut out of the door with an ugly face, and her heart sank to the bottom.

Ye Qiongdan originally thought that this matter would be let go, Dafang and the old couple would not continue to be demons anymore, and would only find another school for their three sons, but unexpectedly, the matter turned to a more serious direction.

In the afternoon of the next day, the clan ancestral hall.

Ye's clan ancestral hall was built in a beautiful place surrounded by mountains and rivers. It has a history of hundreds of years. The whole building has a solemn charm under the precipitation of time.

There are very few opportunities for the clan ancestral hall to be opened. Every year during the New Year and major festivals, the ancestral hall will be opened to worship the ancestors. Other than that, it is when major events happen in the clan.

The bell rang, and hundreds of people from the Ye family gathered in the ancestral hall, staring at the third house of the Ye family who was brought here. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was very dull.

Old Master Ye took a step forward, and said to the patriarch full of grief: "Master Patriarch, please be the master for me!"

"You tell the whole thing to the people in the clan first." The patriarch said with a serious face.

"Some time ago, Mr. Zhao, the richest man in Qili Town, got a strange disease. Qili Town and Qinghe County are famous doctors in Yiling County, and there is nothing they can do about Mr. Zhao's illness..." Mr. Ye said the whole thing in a deep voice .

Everyone was silent and looked at each other.

"This incident can only be regarded as a self-defeating accident. First of all, since Dan girl has never studied medicine, she should not treat Mr. Zhao's illness. Think about the future of the eldest family," the patriarch said, "Secondly, since Mr. Zhao has turned his anger on Da Fang, and Dan girl should plead for Da Fang, after all, Da Fang also has good intentions."

"But the Zhao family's maid said that if this matter fails, Dafang will beat me to death, and then said that I died suddenly, and then dragged my body to make amends to the Zhao family, lest the Zhao family be angry with Dafang's third brother." I'm a scholar," Ye Qiongdan said coldly, "it's true that people don't hurt people, but tigers hurt people's hearts. What's more, beg for mercy? I broke up with Dafang when we separated. How can there be any affection? Not begging for mercy, it's just my duty."

"You don't want them to have no books to read, but they have no books to read because of you. Are you responsible for this matter?" Mr. Ye hammered the ground hard with his crutch.

"First, your starting point for this matter is to allow the three scholars in Dafang to continue studying in Jingde Academy. You are starting from the perspective of your own interests; second, it is not the medicine I asked you to change. Where do I need to be held accountable?"

"You are too selfish!"

"Why didn't you say you were selfish when you wanted to kill me?"

"I did it for the future of the entire Ye family, for the future of the entire Ye clan!" Mr. Ye said with a righteous face, "Our Ye clan has nearly a thousand members, and among the thousand members, there are only two Scholars, one of them is your uncle. The Ye family is quite well-off, and they can spend money to donate a child to your two cousins ​​this year. They are the future of the Ye clan, and they can shade the clan in the future!"

"Really? If my uncle's knowledge is excellent, the dean of Jingde Academy must be reluctant to expel him. Who would give up a favorite student? After all, the favorite student will flourish after his birthday, and it is easy to take revenge on him." Ye Qiongdan said lightly.

The clansmen nodded, approving Ye Qiongdan's remarks.

Mr. Ye blushed with anger: "Your uncle was selected as a scholar at a young age, which shows that he is very talented in reading, but now he is only temporarily blinded by the disturbing world. When he puts down the world and reads at ease, Natural progress can be made by leaps and bounds. In short, he is the hope of our Ye clan. If you don’t let him continue to study in Jingde Academy, you are harming the interests of the entire clan! If he wins the election, the entire clan can rely on him. At that time, they will be exempted from taxes by the court."

"That's right," the patriarch nodded and looked at Ye Qiongdan, "You have to think about the clan. Besides, the Tang family is not bad. Tang Xiaoxiu is young and promising, with good features, gentle temperament, and a bright future. Baxiang is a rare candidate for a good son-in-law. He is your grandfather again, and your parents are gone, so he should be able to decide your marriage."

"What if I am determined not to marry?"

"Then you are the sinner of the clan, and the clan has the right to expel your three clans!" The patriarch said coldly, "You have to think carefully!"

The three clans meant parents, brothers, and husband and wife. If Ye Qiongdan was expelled from the three clans, it would mean that her parents and two elder brothers would be expelled from the Ye clan.

The clansmen didn't expect that the patriarch would punish them so severely. After being stunned for a moment, they felt a little pity at first, but when they thought about the future of the clan, their hearts hardened again.

Ye Qiongdan glanced over the expressionless faces, and seeing that no one here pleaded for her, she didn't have the slightest attachment to this clan in her heart.

Ye Qingyu has always loved his younger sister, and because he was treated indifferently by the old man since he was a child, and no one in the clan has helped him, so he doesn't have any sense of belonging to the Ye family or the Ye clan.

"Third sister, don't marry if you don't want to!" Ye Qingyu, who has always been gentle, said firmly.

"Don't marry!" Ye Qinghan pursed his lips, and his eyes were icy cold, which made the temperature in the ancestral hall suddenly drop by a few points.

Old Man Ye was trembling with anger, grabbed his crutches and beat them up, cursing while beating: "White-eyed wolf! White-eyed wolf!"

Naturally, Ye Qinghan couldn't be beaten by him in vain, he quickly picked up Ye Qingyu on his back, avoiding the old man's crutches accurately every time.

The surrounding clansmen hurried forward and stopped Mr. Ye.

"I don't want to marry!" Ye Qiongdan said loudly, "If Ye Fengxian is really a good student for studying, and my two cousins ​​also have a bright future, so what if he was expelled from Jingde Academy? Among the good schools in Qinghe County, only Being chosen by them! With all due respect, a person's vision determines how much he will achieve in the future!"

"Then I can only expel your three clans, and let the entire Ye clan see it. This is the end of no one's benefit!" The patriarch said with a straight face, "Come on, go to the genealogy!"

Soon, someone brought up the family tree and turned to the page with the name of the third family member of the Ye family.

The patriarch took a pen and dipped in ink, heavily scribbled out their names, and then presented the family tree to the altar.

Mr. Ye turned gray and looked at everyone: "Why don't you all raise some money for the three scholars in my family and send them to the best school in the county? Don't worry, my Ye family is a farming and studying family, and I have always been clean. Gui, in the future, I will definitely return the money to everyone one by one."
