Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 149 Ancestral Hall (5)
Although Uncle Taigong kept his eyes half-closed, none of the movements in the hall escaped his half-closed eyes, including Wang Jiulang's eyes looking at Zheng Ruo.As an old man who has lived for nearly a hundred years, the elders of the clan always know what to do to bring the greatest benefit to the whole clan.

"I don't dare... I only came to help out after I got the trust of my friends. If I take the liberty, I hope my uncle and grandpa won't be offended!"

Wang Jiulang and Li Yun got up and returned a salute. After sitting down, Uncle Taigong said calmly, "Today, thanks to the rescue of two heroes, the whole family can be saved. How dare you say that?" He paused, "Today , we are here to elect a new patriarch, and I invite the two of you to be witnesses."

"Don't dare."

Uncle Taigong stood up, looked around, and said loudly, "I have elected a new patriarch today." He looked at Zheng Yuanyi, and said, "Zheng Yuanyi is upright, benevolent, filial, loyal, and in times of crisis, he never forgets to help the clan. The best candidate for the patriarch! Do you have any objections?"

As soon as Uncle Taigong finished speaking, Zheng Ruo smiled.The suffering tonight was finally not in vain.Father, brother, as I said, in this life, I will do everything for you, I want you to be respected and loved by others, and you will not die like in the last life!
"The old man thinks that Zheng Yuanyi is the candidate for the new patriarch, do you have any objections?"

Uncle Taigong's words made people listen, although it was a bit surprising.But these tribesmen have received Zheng Ruo's food and clean water for the past few months, and rescued them in tonight's catastrophe.Moreover, Zheng Yuanyi also has some prestige among the scholars. Although his son Zheng Jinxiao was a bit stubborn in the past, he is now a disciple of the famous scholar Liu Sanbian.The most important thing is...the people of the clan secretly took a look at Wang Jiulang, who looks like a banished fairy... Zheng Yuanyi will have such a son-in-law in the future, and the Zheng family in Liaoxi will help the Langya Wang family. Wouldn't that be of great benefit?

If you are smart, if you figure out the joints, you will naturally agree with both hands.There are simple and honest people, who have been favored by them, and there is a madman like Zheng Yuanshun in front of them. In comparison, it is natural to feel that Zheng Yuanyi, who is kind and kind, is more reliable as the patriarch.Yes, no one objected.

When Zheng Yuanyi heard that Uncle Taigong made him the patriarch, he didn't react for a long time.He never thought that one day he would become the head of the clan.Even Zheng Jinxiao was shocked and talked for a long time.It was Zheng Ruo who quietly tugged on his father's sleeve, and Zheng Yuanyi stood up, bowed to his uncle, and said, "Uncle, this seems a bit inappropriate..."

Uncle Taigong waved his hand, "This old man has made up his mind, and besides, the clansmen have no objections, so let's settle this matter."

"This……"

"Father, don't refuse. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to be the patriarch?" Zheng Ruo said in a low voice.

"Not really." Zheng Yuanyi just felt that it was too sudden and didn't accept it all at once.

"Father, if you refuse again, you will appear hypocritical." Zheng Ruo said in a low voice.

Zheng Yuanyi glanced around, and saw that most of the clansmen showed eager anticipation.He nodded decisively, "Since you trust me so much, I will be disrespectful."

Uncle Taigong nodded, and said to him, "Yuanyi, I don't know when this severe drought will end. Originally, everyone was discussing moving to the south. If something like this happened tonight, you can just figure it out." As he said that, he glanced at the three of Zheng Yuanshun who were in a panic on the ground, and said, "As for how to deal with these three people, it's up to you to make the decision. After a whole night of tossing, the old man is also tired, so I'll go back and rest first. "

"Yuan Yi respectfully sends uncle grandpa off!" Zheng Yuanyi immediately got up to send uncle grandpa off respectfully. He got up together, and Zheng Ruo, two brothers and sisters, Wang Jiulang and Li Yun all stood up and sent off respectfully.

After Uncle Taigong left the ancestral hall, someone asked: "Patriarch, what should we do with these three people?"

"killed……"

"Kill it, to comfort the soul who died unjustly tonight!"

"Yes, Patriarch, don't be soft-hearted, just kill him..."

When the clansmen thought of all the suffering they had suffered tonight, they wished they could pounce on and peel Zheng Yuanshun's skin, drink his blood, and gnaw his flesh.

Zheng Wan, who was still protecting Zheng Yuanshun tightly, was now intimidated by the aura of the tribe and hid behind him.Hearing that these people were going to yell and kill him, he felt extremely panicked.He secretly looked up, and suddenly saw Shi Yue standing behind Zheng Yuanyi, his eyes lit up, and while everyone was not paying attention, he stood up suddenly, rushed to him, pulled his sleeve, and said sadly: " Brother Yue, help me! Help me!"

Shi Yue didn't expect that Zheng Wan would rush over suddenly, and he was dazed on the ground for a moment, at a loss for what to do.

Zheng Ruo looked at the scene in front of him with a half-smile, saw his father's astonished expression, and involuntarily showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and turned to look at Shi Yue.

Shi Yue inadvertently turned his head and saw the smile on the corner of her mouth, he came back to his senses instantly, and forcefully broke off the hand that was holding on to his sleeve one by one.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" He frowned.

Zheng Wan opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "Brother Yue, what's the matter with you? I'm A Wan... Didn't you and I meet each other in the garden yesterday? Why did you not recognize me in a blink of an eye? Brother Yue ?”

Shi Yue's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he took a step back, moved a little further away from Zheng Wan, and said, "Sister-in-law, you and I don't know each other, how can we talk about meeting each other in the garden? It's just nonsense!"

Zheng Wan, who originally thought she had grasped the last straw, was panicked by Shi Yue's two words, and took a few steps, looked at him anxiously and said, "Brother Yue, what's the matter with you? What's the matter?" ? Awan is already yours, and you said you would marry me, why are you pretending not to know me now?"

"Sister-in-law, if you talk nonsense again, I won't be polite to you!" Shi Yue shouted.

"Brother Yue..." Zheng Wan burst into tears.Although she is usually unruly and willful, she is not a scheming person, and she used to bully others.To put it bluntly, she is a brainless and extremely reckless silly elder sister.After being frightened tonight, suppressed by Zheng Jinxiao's several words, and then beaten and scolded by the clansmen who respected and respected him all the time, he no longer had the arrogance he had before.Knowing that these people can't wait to kill themselves at this moment, their minds have already lost their minds.Now, listening to the heartless words of the lover who used to talk sweetly in front of me, she completely lost her previous coquettish attitude, and began to cry.
