Unparalleled Concubine

According to the rules of the Jin Dynasty, purple clothes can only be worn by those who are above the third rank or noble.

…………

In the Xiao family compound.

The head of the family, Xiao Mingli, summoned seven or eight clan elders, and after unanimous discussions, they finally agreed to reclassify Xiao Qinglan as a clan member and write it down in the genealogy.

Originally women were not allowed to enter the genealogy, but those who became famous could. Such a county lady from the second grade entered the genealogy, even if the magistrate came to the Xiao family in the future, he would have to respectfully salute!

As the head of the clan, Xiao Mingli knelt down in the ancestral hall with a solemn face, and wrote Xiao Qinglan's name under his own. He hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to write Li Xin's name.

In fact, it can be written. After all, Li Xin has no father's family, so he can be included in his mother's family. It's just that Xiao Mingli thought that Li Xin had recognized his ancestors in the capital. Therefore, Li Xin did not dare to write.

After finishing writing, he dried the ink, and respectfully put the genealogy tree back on the shelf in the ancestral hall.

Then he kowtowed to the ancestor's spiritual throne and said: "Respectfully tell the ancestors, the little girl Qinglan, because of her great virtue, was conferred an imperial order by the court, which is quite honorable, and she is specially included in the genealogy. May…"

In the old days, women had to follow such a set of etiquette when writing in the genealogy, otherwise the ancestors in the sky would not approve, and it would be useless to write in the genealogy.

After chanting, Xiao Mingli lit three sticks of incense and respectfully put them on the incense case.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind him.

"The ancestors of your Xiao family agreed, did you ask me if I agreed?"

Xiao Mingli was startled, he turned his head suddenly, and saw a purple-clothed young man with a sword hanging from his waist, looking at him coldly.

The members of the Xiao family were about to ask about the young man's background, but the black-clothed Habayashi guards next to the young man each pulled out their sabers from their waists, scaring the Xiao family from speaking again.

Xiao Ming shivered politely.

But he didn't dare to turn against Li Xin directly.

The old man gritted his teeth: "Qinglan is the daughter of this old man. Does this old man need permission from you, a young man, to write his daughter into the genealogy?"

Li Xin put his left hand on the hilt of the Green Pheasant Sword, his face was cold: "But I heard from my uncle that the Xiao family had already expelled my mother from the house 17 years ago."

Xiao Mingli's complexion changed, and he continued: "There is no hatred between a family and a surname. Now that the old man is getting older, thinking of Qinglan's pity, he can't bear to let her be a lonely ghost, can't he?"

"No."

Li Xin looked at Xiao Mingli with a blank expression on his face: "A year and a half ago, my uncle knelt in front of you and begged you, just to let Aniang's tombstone have the word Xiao on it, so as not to become a wandering spirit." , do you remember what you said?"

Xiao Mingli's face was embarrassed, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

Li Xin's uncle, that is Mrs. Xiao Mingli's elder brother, his eldest brother-in-law, his uncle has no descendants in this life, so he especially likes these nephews of the Xiao family, especially Xiao Qinglan, the niece who was also an uncle after Xiao Qinglan was kicked out of the Xiao family. She has been taking care of their mother and child, otherwise, how could she, a weak woman, survive in a valley like Qishan?

A year and a half ago, my mother passed away, and my uncle was very sad, so he came to Xiao's house to beg Xiao Mingli, not for money, but just to let Xiao Qinglan have the name of Xiao's family, so that he would not die without a name.

Xiao Mingli felt ashamed and did not agree.

"You refused at the time."

Li Xin said word by word: "Tell me, if there is a word Xiao on my mother's tombstone, you will lead someone to dig her grave."

"Clang" sound.

Li Xin pulled out the Green Pheasant Sword from his waist.

The tip of the sword pointed directly at Xiao Mingli.

"Originally, I have some skills now, and it is only natural to give you some credit, but everyone in the Xiao family is ruthless and cold-blooded. Based on you, you are also worthy of my mother's surname?"

Li Xin's mother is a kind and gentle woman. Even though she has suffered so much in the second half of her life, she has never blamed anyone or blushed with anyone. In the past ten years, she has been weak It took all of my strength to pull Li Xin into a man.

When my uncle went to see her in the mountains, he often said a word.

All the kindness of the Xiao family was taken up by her alone.

Li Xin strode towards the ancestral hall of Xiao's family, and slashed down the green pheasant sword in his hand!

The Green Pheasant Sword is the national treasure of the Zhongshan Kingdom. It is also a saber that has been used by Zhong Shuai for 30 to [-] years.

Xiao Mingli was completely stunned.

The long sword in Li Xin's hand pointed at the lofty tablet of the ancestors of the Xiao family, but then he changed his mind and put it down.

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Mingli coldly.

"From today onwards, all of your Xiao family members will change their surnames to this Marquis!"

"You are also worthy of the same surname as my mother?"

Chapter 352

Forcing people to change their surnames, especially forcing a family to change their surnames, is a very excessive thing in this age when clans are supreme.

Generally, only people at the level of the emperor can do it. For example, the Emperor Zetian Dasheng once forced the two families to change their surnames.

Xiao Mingli trembled all over, and pointed at Li Xin tremblingly.

"My Xiao family has not violated taboos, and has not violated national laws. Why do you want us to change our surname?"

Li Xin did not have the right to force the Xiao family to change their surname, he could only force the Xiao family to change it themselves.

Lord Jing'an put his sword back into its sheath, and gave the old man a cold look, then he turned his head and said to the onlookers behind him: "Is anyone present here belonging to the Xiao family, and leave now, so as not to hurt innocent people later."

Habayashi Wei had already drawn his sword, and some people who came to see the excitement were so frightened that they left in a hurry, and even the timid Xiao family members also ran out while in disorder.

Xiao Mingli's face turned pale, and he turned to look at Li Xin.

"There are four to five hundred people in my Xiao family, and they are all kind men and women who abide by the law. How do you treat them?"

Up to now, he still thought that Li Xin only inherited his father's title in the capital, and now he still thought that the reason why his daughter Xiao Qinglan was conferred the second-rank county lady was because Li Xin's father was a second-rank official .

He thought it was because of Li Xin's father's guilt.

But he thought about it.

There was a shocking sound of neat footsteps, and Mu Ying, who had re-approved Habayashi Wei Hei's family, rushed into Xiao's house with nearly a hundred Hei family Habayashiro.

This general Habayashi Wei Youlang shouted to Li Xin: "General Zhonglang, according to your order, the Xiao family has been surrounded by the lower ranks."

Zhong... Zhonglang general?

Although the Xiao family is located in a remote place, they are considered scholars after all, and they know a little about the official position of the court. Xiao Mingli naturally knows what position Habayashi Wei Zhonglang will hold.

It's time to rush!
