[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

Outside the palace, Dong Mansion.

As soon as Guerjia lifted the curtain of the carriage, Dong Yanling personally helped him down.

"How, what does aunt say?" Dong Yanling asked in a low voice.

Mrs. Guerjia shook her head, and entered the mansion together with him. The two walked side by side on the corridor, surrounded by Mrs. Guerjia's dowry and Dong Yanling's confidants.

Dong Yanling leaned down slightly, and leaned close to Guerjia's ear, "Auntie is angry?"

As a person who almost grew up with his aunt, Dong Yanling knew Yimin quite well. He even often felt that his aunt had a world in her heart and her own set of rules of life, and she was definitely not someone who would listen to the family.

As soon as the plan of grandfather and several uncles and uncles came out, he knew that his aunt would not agree.

Mrs. Guarjia nodded, and she said in a helpless tone: "My aunt also asked my concubine to bring some words to my grandfather and uncles. My aunt must be in a hurry. These words are a bit..."

Dong Yanling immediately said: "What are you talking about? I'll help you convey it." His eyes were serious, with a strong sense of protection.

With a soft smile, Guarjia's eyes were watery, she leaned slightly towards her husband, and said in a coquettish tone: "Where can I let my husband go, if I offend my grandfather, wouldn't I have to kneel again?" .”

She is the grandson's wife, and Dong's father, as the father-in-law, naturally cannot punish him casually, but Dong Yanling is different. Grandpa punishes his grandson, and he doesn't even need to find a reason.

Subconsciously, he wanted to rub his swollen knee, Dong Yanling's face turned bitter, but he was still worried about his beloved wife, and said very firmly, "I'll go with you!"

Quite a bit of "the wind is rustling and the water is cold" is tragic.

Guerjia gave a 'puchi' smile, but she originally meant the same thing, so she pretended to hesitate for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay."

Facing the dependent eyes of his lovely wife, Dong Yanling couldn't help puffing out his chest, and very manly, he blocked her behind him, and walked towards his grandfather's yard together.

……

Without adding a single word, without subtracting a single word, and without any emotion, Guarjia just recounted the words in a straightforward manner.

Not to mention Dong's father's dark complexion after listening, even Dong Yanling was shocked by the impoliteness in those words.

But he calmed down immediately, and comforted him in a low voice: "Grandfather, don't be angry, aunt is also talking nonsense. All these years, aunt has been alone in the palace, and she finally became a noble concubine. Sending someone into the palace really hurt my aunt's face..."

The concubine's family sent someone into the palace again, and the most intuitive expression was dissatisfaction with her daughter's performance and status in the palace, dissatisfaction with her current status and the emperor's favor.

Furthermore, there is the issue of heirs...

Either way, it's a shameful thing to do.

Dong's father's chest heaved in anger, Dong Yanling hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and kept comforting him.

It's just that his reassuring words were a little special, which made Guarja's eyes, who were silent at the side, very delicate.

"Didn't you love your aunt the most in the past? This time, I will be your aunt and lose your temper with you..."

"You know my aunt's temperament. She has always said something to those close to her. My aunt is not unfamiliar with you when she says this..."

"Besides, if my aunt is in the palace, no matter how angry you are, she won't be able to see it. If you are so angry, you will not only be in a panic, but you will also have to take care of your grandson and Anyu..."

Anyu is Guerjia's maiden name.

Guarja, who was named, looked at her husband with complicated eyes.

Dong's father didn't feel comforted at all, he turned his head and stared at Dong Yanling, and shouted: "What? You don't want to serve me, kid?"

"How can this be?" Of course Dong Yanling didn't recognize this point, he immediately expressed his heart and said: "It is right to be filial to your grandfather, not to mention sickness, but when your grandfather is too old to move or lose all his teeth, you should ask your grandson to take care of you." Walking on the back, feeding soft food bite by bite, the grandson will never say anything!"

Father Dong: ...

Who are you cursing?

Although he was particularly dissatisfied with Dong Yanling's words, Father Dong also knew the virtues of his elder grandson. This kid has been choking on others since he was a child, and he is used to it.

He nodded reluctantly, pinching his nose to recognize this "filial piety".

Unexpectedly...he let Dong Yanling go, but Dong Yanling refused to let him go.

Seeing his grandfather nodding, Dong Yanling, who thought he had been recognized, was motivated, and he said persistently: "But that's the case, you old man has to think about us!"

He said seriously: "Grandson, I have just been newlyweds. I am just newlyweds. My second brother will take the imperial examination next year. It is time to concentrate on studying. If you are sick at this time, there is nothing wrong with An Yu and I. It's a big deal. Let Ama Erniang hold her grandson later..."

Guarjas: ...

She buried her head very low, trying to reduce her sense of existence, feeling ashamed and angry in her heart, wishing to seal her husband's mouth that dared to say anything.

"It's not enough for the second brother. Think about it, if you get sick with qi, at most my aunt will give you some medicine, but the second brother is different. He wants to serve his filial piety in front of your grandfather by delivering soup and medicine. He also has to light the lamp and stay up all night studying hard, he is only a teenager, and when he is still growing up, how can he bear it..."

Dong Yanling's tongue was very sharp, once he opened the chatter box, the words would come out one after another like leeks that had been injected with hormones, without giving anyone a chance to interject at all.

In this regard, he and his aunt are ten to ten like each other.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in his own world, and he couldn't see the burning anger in his grandfather's eyes and his wife's unbearable expression at all.

He predicted on his own: "There can only be two results if you come and go again and again. Either you will be delayed and hurt your body, or you will delay your studies. Next year, you will have to take the imperial examination... hey!"

"Shut up for me!" Father Dong kicked him out.

His angry hair was about to stand on end, and the fingers pointing at Dong Yanling were trembling.

"Bastard!" Dong's father yelled in such an exasperated voice that the entire yard could hear it.

Dong Yanling staggered two steps from that kick, and when he came back to his senses, he was startled by Dong's father's roar, and complained in a low voice: "Grandfather! You kick people as soon as you kick them, why are you so loud? Doesn't the whole government know that you reprimanded your grandson, if it gets out later, where will your grandson put his face?"

He still has the nerve to show face?

Father Dong took a deep breath unbearably, raised his hand and slid him in front of him, came up and hit him hard on the head twice, gritted his teeth in a low voice: "You bastard, just curse me, I won't follow you!" You idiot care about it, but you should never curse your second brother! I tell you, if Yanshou fails to go to high school this time, it will be all because of your bad mouth!"

Dong Yanshou, the second grandson, is Dong's father's favorite grandson. He has always placed high hopes on him and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

Logically speaking, the elder son and grandson are the most favored by the elders in the family.

Even in the homes of ordinary people, the eldest grandson is the one with the most resources, let alone in a wealthy family, especially Dong Yanling is still the eldest grandson of the eldest son of the first branch, so he should pay more attention to it.

But Dong Yanling's mouth is a talent brought out from the mother's womb, since he can speak, he will choke people.

And this is a trigger skill!

To his aunt Yimin, to his mother Xilin Jueluo, and to his wife Guarjia, he has gentle words, humorous and elegant sentences, and even more meticulous and considerate conversations...

But as soon as it fell on his grandfather and father, he became all kinds of jealousy. If it was to tear down the stage, it would be from novels to adulthood, and he would not even look at it.

It's just... amazing.

Unlike Dong Haoshan who became a father for the first time, the eldest son born to this first wife naturally has an 800-meter filter.

Dong's father is very tempered. After being bullied by the eldest grandson a few times, he began to dislike him very much.

All the anticipation and love were given to the second grandson Dong Yanshou.

Dong Yanshou is a very elegant young man, he is filial and respectful to his grandfather and parents, he also reads quietly on weekdays, studies the scriptures very hard, and only wants to get a name in the exam.

This point hit Father Dong's rough heart even more.

You must know that although Dong's father started out with military exploits, when he was young, he also wanted to be a talented person who could write beautiful articles.

But the current situation is turbulent, plus I have selected the wrong talent and skill points, scratching my head and knowing nothing about literature, but in terms of military affairs, it is a talent that God appreciates.

Under the balance, Dong's father could only reluctantly give up his ideals, and rushed to the route arranged by fate.

But in his old man's heart, he still respects scholars very much, and he has some expectations for his son's training.

But what bothered him was that the eldest son, Tian □ □ Wu, refused to develop into a civil servant at all. Although the second son liked to study, his talent was not good, and he stagnated after barely passing the exam. The third son is talented, but he was born with treachery in his bones, not someone who can settle down to study...

After all, Dong Yanshou was born among his grandchildren. He is talented, loves to read, and can calm down...Dong’s father is like picking up a golden bump. He wants to carry it wherever he goes, and wants to show off For this second grandson, not to mention obedience and obedience, it is almost the same.

Faced with Dong's father's glare, Dong Yanling felt very wronged.

He said aggrievedly: "What are you talking about? How could I curse my second brother! I have such a good relationship with my second brother. I hope that my second brother can hurry up to high school, realize his ambition, and have a bright future..."

He looked at Dong's father with resentment in his small eyes: "You can't wrong people! If the second younger brother hears it and believes it, it won't affect our brothers' feelings!"

Finally, he whispered: "One more thing, don't be angry if I told you... Actually, every time I hear you call yourself 'Lao Tzu', I always feel weird..."

"Get out!!" Father Dong grabbed the teacup and threw it on his forehead.

Fortunately, Dong Yanling was well prepared this time, and dodged to hide, and slipped out of the room nimbly, not forgetting to pull away the Guerjia family who was standing blankly beside him.

Only one sentence remained: "Grandson takes An Yu away first, grandfather, you must take care of your health! Just consider it for the second brother..."

……

After running for a long distance, Dong Yanling released the panting Guerjia's hand, and the two of them stood resting on the edge of the cobblestone path.

It took a long time for Guarjia to calm down after running so fast, and then stood there looking at her husband, as if getting to know him all over again.

Her eyes are subtle, and her understanding of her husband and her husband's family has been refreshed.

Feeling a little embarrassed by her staring eyes, Dong Yanling coughed lightly, and changed the subject uncomfortably: "Tell me about you, you won't move even if I gesture for you. Fortunately, I react quickly. La I gave you a hand...Be smarter next time, as soon as I make a gesture, we will run outside, and we will never give grandfather a chance to explode..."

And next time? !

Looking at the slightly shy smiling face of the other party, Guerjia felt his heart gallop, feeling that his previous distress for this guy had been fed to the dog.

——You were fined to kneel down, and you were despised...it's really not wronged at all!

……

When the letter from the capital was quickly spread to Huzhou and Shengjing, the brothers Dong Haoshan and Dong Dianbang had almost the same thoughts.

——It's time for the clan to clean up!

Huzhou General Military Mansion.

As soon as Dong Haoshan received the letter, he immediately went to the backyard to discuss with his wife.

As soon as he saw the content on the letter paper, Xilin Jueluo's anger burst from his scalp.

She slapped the table hard, and scolded the same words as Yimin: "A bunch of idiots, if you don't make progress, it's fine to honor the imperial concubine, but dare to hold back the empress! It's really itchy and I owe a lesson!"

When Xilinjueluo married Dong Haoshan at the beginning, she was the head wife. No matter how many years she married into the Dong family, she took care of the family for as many years, and had dealings with those Dong family members countless times.

How should I put it... just... I have a lot of grievances!

At first, because the previous generation of the Dong family had passed away the two mistresses early, and Dong's father was unwilling to remarry, the family had a group of elders with a baby girl, so it was natural that someone would be in charge of the housekeeping and human relations.

So some affairs of Dong's mansion were handed over to Dong's father's two younger brothers and sisters, that is, Dong Haoshan's two aunts.

Father Dong was indeed a good hand in leading the army and fighting, but he couldn't be regarded as an excellent head of the family when it came to running the family. This move was not only inappropriate, but also planted the seeds of disaster for the future.

To be honest, the Dong family is the nouveau riche created by the heroes of the times. Compared with those big families and surnames, their background is not 01:30 points worse.

Dong's father made a fortune on his own, and the two wives he married before and after were all Manchu surnames. While improving his own blood genes, he was supported by his in-laws.

Other clansmen, including his two younger brothers, did not have this ability, nor did he have the same luck.Those who marry are women from the Baoyi family who are well-matched.

Originally, the whole family relied on Dong's father to get up, and they were all flattered and grateful in their hearts, but as the gap between the two sides became wider and wider, it was inevitable that they would feel a little psychologically unbalanced.

This is also human nature and understandable.

It's normal until now, as long as you comfort him a little bit, give some benefits, and promote some outstanding disciples, the clan will be very satisfied, and they will be more obedient and respectful to Father Dong.

But everything went wrong because Dong's father asked his two younger siblings to help him with housekeeping.

Some people always want to fill the gap.

After experiencing the prosperity and wealth of the Dong Mansion, the two wives were dazed. They began to get used to being dressed in silk and brocade, being served in and out, and the wives of dignitary families whom they had never even seen face to face before. socialize...

Almost everyone thought that the rest of their lives would be like this, living in the bustling heap.

But at this moment...

Dong Haoshan has grown up, and it's time to marry a wife, and his wife is the veritable and justifiable Dong family's mistress.

The two ladies are like Cinderella at the ball. When the time comes, they will take off their gorgeous dresses and turn back into that simple woman.

This is the time to test your mentality. If you can see it, you can adjust your mentality for a few days. If you can't see it, you may be blown up on the spot.

Obviously, the mentality of these two ladies is not very good.

In order to keep their "own" glory and wealth, they really did a lot of jaw-dropping stupid things. After all, people get dizzy when they are in a hurry, and although they have been in charge of the house for two years, they can only gain a little bit of knowledge, but can't. IQ.

Such as procrastinating Dong Haoshan's wedding date, alienating the relationship between husband and wife, giving Xilin Jueluo's eye drops in front of Dong's father, withholding the housekeeping power in his hand and refusing to hand it over... I won't say much about it.

The most unbearable thing for Xilin Jueluo was that they dared to give Dong Haoshan a concubine before marriage, and they were still good concubines!

This is a humiliation that no bride or her family can bear.

What's more, Xilinjueluo's marriage is still low!

As soon as this incident came out, even Minhui, who was as strong as Xilin Jueluo, had plans to divorce, after all, the elders of this family seemed to be seriously ill if they said something bad.

But fortunately, with a group of relatives holding back, Dong Haoshan not only kept his innocence, but also visited Xilinjueluo's house in person several times, protecting his marriage and his wife's heart with danger.

But this incident directly caused Xilin Jueluo and the two aunts to tear their skins apart, and then they were ruthless in many things.

Although the two aunts are older, in terms of IQ and skills, they are really inferior to Xilin Jueluo, who was carefully raised by the family and trained for many years according to the courses of the mistresses.

Anyway... it’s just that it’s been miserable, and Uncle Dong, Uncle Dong and others who have been hiding behind the scenes to seek benefits for their family have not been settled.

At this moment, after knowing that these defeated generals dared to jump out of the capital not long after he left the capital, Xilin Jueluo snorted coldly: "It seems that I was soft-hearted in the past, and I let them have the opportunity to disturb Min'er's peace. Knowing today, these people should have been crushed to death in the first place..."

As she spoke, she looked at her husband coldly, with a hint of anger in her eyes: If this guy hadn't stopped him...

Dong Haoshan, who was watching, hurriedly defended himself: "Then he is also my uncle and aunt, and my father's younger brother. You can't really ignore everything, and if you attack too hard, it will not be good for your reputation... "

Xilin Jueluo understood the truth, but he was very angry in his heart!

She stood up with a 'huh', and said in a word: "No, I have to go back to the capital to have a look."

Dong Haoshan was dumbfounded, he said anxiously: "Madam wants to go back to the capital alone? That family..."

He was not allowed to leave his post at will, and of course he couldn't accompany his wife back to the capital. After many years of marriage, the husband and wife were almost inseparable, and the longest separation time was no more than three days!

Glancing at him, Xilin felt that Luo Shi was tired and said: "Just do what you want, there is no shortage of servants and maids at home, I will only go for two months at most, what can happen?"

Dong Haoshan immediately felt that the price of his old rice had dropped. If he was young and handsome in the past, his wife would never treat him like this.

Ignoring her husband who was getting older and more troublesome, Xilin Jueluo simply started packing his bags, arranged for his entourage, and set off for the capital as quickly as possible.

Being left behind by her fiery figure, while Dong Haoshan sighed, he couldn't help venting his anger on those relatives who caused troubles all day long, and...he just detested his two sons who couldn't even be coaxed by his grandfather...

Furious, he strode into the study and wrote two letters to the capital, one to Dong's father and one to his third brother Dong Dianbang.

The former is some chattering homework, with some complaints from the son to the old father, 'tactfully' persuading Dong's father to have a better life and not to indulge the clansman too much.

The latter is to ask the third brother Dong Dianbang to restrain the clansmen, and to be tougher when necessary, and not to be polite to some shameless things!Clean him up to death!

……

Sochoro Mansion in Shengjing.

Dong Dianbang, who accompanied his wife to raise a baby at Yue's house, returned to the yard with the newly received letter. From afar, he saw his beloved wife with a slightly protruding belly sitting on a rocking chair, and their eldest son Yanhe was shaking his head and reading a book beside him.

Amidst the rattling of the rocking chair and the sound of the boy reading aloud, a fallen leaf floated to the feet in the breeze, and the years were quiet.

Dong Dianbang's originally slightly angry face softened, and he slowly stepped into that quiet world, and with a light cough, he attracted the attention of his wife and children.

"Husband is back," Suo Chuoluo stood up holding his belly, wanting to get up to greet him.

"Don't, don't, just sit down," Dong Dianbang hurriedly walked to her side, held her arm, and helped her back to the chair.

Suo Chuoluo is a very gentle woman. She was the youngest daughter in her natal family, and she was loved by her father and brother the most. After she got married, she met Dong Dianbang, an indomitable and considerate husband. Jiaohua, who is cared for carefully, even though she is the mother of two children, still has a trace of innocence in her eyes.

"My husband seems to be unhappy. Is there something wrong at home?" Observing her husband's expression, Suo Chuoluo asked worriedly.

Just now, someone came to report, saying that there was a letter from the family in the capital, and the husband just went to get the letter, but when he came back, his face became gloomy, presumably the letter said something bad.

The three brothers of the Dong family are all people who love and respect their wives very much, and they don't think that women are shallow. The husband and wife have always respected each other and negotiated with each other.

After he finished the matter in detail, Suo Chuoluo's face became tangled, and she sighed: "Not to mention anything else, my sister and sister-in-law must be very angry."

Although she was the last to enter the door, she has a gentle nature, and the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law is very good. Besides, sister-in-law Xilinjueluo is a straightforward person, and sister-in-law is also considerate in every way. She really treats these in-laws as her own relatives.

She looked up at her husband and asked, "Does my husband want to go back to Beijing? I will make arrangements..."

When something like this happened, Dong Dianbang, as the closest of the three brothers, would definitely go back to Beijing to have a look.

At this moment, facing his wife with an unstable fetal image, he comforted him in a low voice: "It's fine for me to go back alone, and you take Yanhe and Yanping to stay at your father-in-law's house, and I will come back to pick you up after I finish dealing with those things... ..."

Suo Chuoluo was a little worried, but she was having a difficult pregnancy, she couldn't eat well and sleep well, and it was really not suitable for the bumpy road, so she agreed hesitantly.

……

Dong Dianbang drove his horse with his entourage alone, which was naturally faster than Xilin Jueluo's with a group of people in a carriage.

He had just arrived at the capital mansion, and before he had time to meet Dong's father, the letter from his eldest brother Dong Haoshan was delivered to him first.

He opened the letter and read it again. When he saw the words "severe punishment" and "rectification" popping up from time to time between the lines, as well as the news that his sister-in-law Xilinjueluo was about to return to the capital in person, he raised his eyebrows and pointed at him. The servant who sent the letter asked: "Did Brother only send this letter back?"

The servant lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "The uncle also sent a letter to the master, which was sent to the master's yard earlier."

Dong Dianbang is a clever and cunning person. When he heard this, he rolled his eyes and said to the attendants on the side: "I just remembered that there are some things I haven't done yet, so I have to go out quickly. In a few days You won't be back until two hours later, so go tell your father so that he doesn't have to worry about it."

Although I don't know what the eldest brother said in the letter to his father, but the eldest brother has always been a decent and filial person, and at most he would complain a few words, and then say some earnest words of comfort.

But in the end, there will be no words of praise. My father has grown older in the past two years, his ears have become softer, and his face has become more serious. He only likes to listen to nice words. If he is not good, he will have to be disciplined, not to mention the eldest brother who has always been upright.

Right now, my father has just read the elder brother's letter, and he is probably angry. If he gets close at this time, he will use it as a punching bag if he doesn't keep it all intact.

……

Dong Dianbang guessed right.

After reading Dong Haoshan's letter, Dong's father was indeed overwhelmed, especially when he was angered by Dong Yanling a few days ago, and now he was sent a letter by the eldest son thousands of miles away to "teach" him. General nest fire.

Adhering to the principle of repaying the father's debt with the son, he slapped the table and said angrily to the attendant at the side: "Go, tell the young master to copy the filial piety scriptures ten times, and hand them over to Lao Tzu in three days. If you don't finish it, you will double it, and when you finish copying it!"

Attendant: "...Yes."

……

When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.

Dong Yanling, who was happily playing chess with his wife, was stunned for a moment when he received the news.

But with such a mouth, he can still grow upright and heartless under Dong's father's nose, so he naturally has a strong heart.

"Hey," he sighed, and said sullenly: "I see, you go back and tell your grandfather, three days later, I will definitely copy the filial piety scriptures and send them to his old man, so that the old man must pay attention to his health and be angry." Hurt..."

When the attendant left, Guarjia worriedly said: "Ten times is too much, my husband usually not only practice martial arts and study, but also go out to do business, how can I have spare time to copy books?" ?”

She was full of dissatisfaction in her heart, and she hated father Dong, the father-in-law who always disturbed their relationship with husband and wife.

She stood up, took two steps, then turned her head and frowned and said, "Let's copy my husband's handwriting with my husband. I can also imitate my husband's handwriting by six or seven points. Be careful, and you probably won't be discovered."

Dong Yanling: ...

His originally sluggish mood was healed in an instant. He opened a pair of big black and white eyes, and looked at his wife without blinking. Obviously there was no trace of moisture, but it gave off an inexplicable wet feeling.

People can't help but feel pity.

Guarjia immediately felt distressed, desperately wanting to comfort the other party.

but don't want to...

Dong Yanling came close to her ear, and revealed in a low voice and mysteriously: "You don't need to be so troublesome. Ever since I was a child, my grandfather would have someone copy the filial piety scriptures whenever he was upset. Among all my brothers, I copied the most, and I have long been used to it... ..."

"I still have more than [-] stocks in my study. When the time comes, I just take it and give it to my grandfather..."

Guarjas: ...

Why do you sound so proud?

She looked at the other party without a word, but bumped into the other party's smiling eyes, those eyes were bright, reflecting the stars, which made her stunned for a moment.

After a while, the husband and wife laughed lightly together, feeling more and more intimate in their hearts.

……

I found a restaurant outside, ate and drank all afternoon, reckoning that it was almost time, Dong Dianbang walked home calmly.

The first thing I do when I get home is to say hello to my old father.

At this time, Dong's father had basically calmed down and was studying military books in the study. When he saw him walk in, he just glanced at him and pointed to a chair for him to sit down.

Dong Dianbang observed his father's expression, thinking about various words in his heart, just as he organized his words, he was about to speak, but his father took a step ahead.

"What? You are also the rescuer brought by that kid Yanling?" He caught a glimpse of his small movements from the corner of the eye, and as soon as Father Dong put the book down, his sharp eyes swept over.

With a shudder in his heart, Dong Dianbang couldn't help but sit up straighter.

Not to mention the natural suppression between father and son.As far as father Dong is concerned, even though he is old and fatuous now, the evil spirit from fighting on the battlefield still exists on his body.

Although the wolf king is old, his power is still there.

Dong Dianbang replied very cautiously: "Yanling did send a letter to his son. After the son knew what happened at home, he was a little worried, so he hurried back to the capital to see the situation."

"Then what did you see?" Dong's father sneered, looking at the third son who had always been slippery with a half-smile, until he saw the sweat on the forehead of the other party's faltering, and then looked away a little.

Feeling that the scalp-numbing aura disappeared, Dong Dianbang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "The son sees that the children in the clan don't want to make progress, and don't idle about their business. The prestige and the reputation of the imperial concubine are rampant, and it's time to make efforts to rectify it!"

Now, in his opinion, it doesn't matter whether the girl is sent to the palace or not. Anyway, if the imperial concubine disagrees, even if they scratch their heads, they can't send the girl to the palace.

What he is more concerned about is some problems that have been exposed by this incident, and the people of the Dong clan can't wait any longer, and some problems that need to be improved urgently.

Dong's father is not ignorant of what he said, and even a lot of it was connived by him inappropriately, but he has been ignoring it due to reasons such as face and affection.

Hearing the words of the third son at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

He didn't know in his heart that he was actually not a good patriarch.

At the beginning, the candidate for the head of the Dong family should be his big cousin, who was cultivated with all the strength of the clan, and the person who was placed in high hopes was also his big cousin, and Dong's father was not trained according to the patriarch at all.

It's just that there was an unforeseen circumstance. The talented and beloved eldest cousin died of a serious illness at the age of 25. At that time, Dong's father had just shown his talent in military affairs and performed military exploits. Take the lead in the army.

So, he just sat on the seat of the young patriarch in a daze.

It is unavoidable that his behavior is not appropriate, and because he has been in the military camp all year round since he was young, it is not easy for his uncles and elders to teach him. Straightened back.

When those elders were around, there were still people who gave him ideas and opinions. After those elders passed away, Dong's father would be completely free to play and let himself go.

And because he was not valued by the family when he was young, Dong's father attached great importance to the position of the patriarch who fell from the sky, and he was too tolerant of the clansmen. He only asked him for many things, and rarely did not help.

To sum up, a series of coincidences have created the situation of the Dong family today.

Sighing, Dong's father asked with some hopelessness: "Then how do you want to rectify?"

"If someone has committed a crime, he should be dealt with. If he should be sent to an official, there will be no mercy at all! Among the younger generation, if anyone is willing to make progress, whether it is sent to school or sent to The military camp has made great military achievements. As long as we are willing to do a good job, our brothers will naturally not be stingy with resources and help, but those who are stubborn, my brothers will never be polite, and these people will drag the clan in the future , we can only send it away far away, and find a place to arrange for someone to guard it..."

"But father, don't worry, for the sake of the same family and surname, their food and drink expenses will not be reduced..." But they will only care about food and drink.

Dong's father frowned and said: "This is too harsh, and according to what you said, your second uncle, third uncle, and your cousins, don't they all..."

"Father!" Dong Dianbang asked with a serious expression: "Several uncles and cousins, aren't they all members of the Dong family? You can't be the first when it is beneficial, but now when something happens, you hide Clean? If you really let them off the hook, how will you convince the public in the future?"

Father Dong was speechless.

I can only listen to the third son talking there.

"Father, you should understand the meaning of the family better than your son. One is prosperous and one is damaged. As the patriarch, the father has the responsibility and obligation to protect the tribe, and the tribe should also support the father, consciously restrain themselves, and not cause trouble for the father. , and our brothers, like the disciples of the younger generation, should work hard to earn glory for ourselves and the clan, this is the way to build a family!"

In the end, he also expressed his opinion on behalf of the two elder brothers who are far away in the field: "This is the common thinking of the three of us, and the eldest brother and the second brother also think the same way."

Seeing him opening his mouth and saying "our brothers", and closing his mouth with "our brothers", Father Dong felt a kind of unpleasant feeling of being excluded by his sons.

He snorted, "You brothers are very close!"

Dong Dianbang raised his head slightly, looked straight into his eyes, and said with a light smile: "I still remember when I was young, you always told us that brothers are of one heart, and their profits cut through gold, or we should trust and support each other at all times..."

Seeing Dong's father recalling memories, he continued: "Later, my sister was born and lost her mother not long after. You even pulled our three brothers and told me to take good care of my sister and not let anyone bully her... "

"Brothers are united, love your sister, what you taught us, we have done it now, but why are you not satisfied?"

Father Dong froze on the spot when he said these words, unable to recover for a long time.

"By the way," Dong Dianbang said quickly without giving Dong's father any time to think, "Sister-in-law is on her way back to Beijing, father, do you know?"

"You have the time to worry now, why don't you remind my two aunts and a few cousins, so as not to see my sister-in-law by surprise and poke her away in fright, it would be a real joke."

Father Dong: ...

To be honest, for Xilin Jueluo, a daughter-in-law with a noble background and strong wrists, the old man is also a little panicked.

In the early years, when Xilinjueluo started to clean up his two younger brothers and younger siblings, he thought that it was right for the younger generation to let the elders down.
