Nguyen Ancestral Hall.

Uncle Ruan and Aunt Ruan's expressions were a little ugly because of Ruan Jiyun's accidental appearance, but they were surrounded by neighbors from the same clan, so even if they were reluctant, they could only smile.

"It's not that you are getting married soon, we also want to get things done before you get married, so that you have the support of your natal brothers, and the Jiang family will not dare to neglect you." The aunt said as she greeted Ruan Jiyun, "Yun Mother, this is all for your own good."

Under the bright light, Ruan Jiyun watched her performance coldly. She first blessed the patriarch, and then asked: "Grandpa, since my father is going to adopt a son today, as the eldest sister, I am here to be a witness." , should it be?"

Seeing her solemn face, the patriarch didn't seem cowardly in his impression, but had a more calm aura, he was not sure about Ruan Jiyun's intentions, so he twisted his beard and said: "It stands to reason that there is no room for you girls to intervene in such a big matter. But you are the only one under your father's knee, so please listen to it."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Uncle Ruan, and added slowly: "The ancestral hall is the place where the ancestors live. You must follow the rules carefully, and don't disturb your father's peace."

Ruan Jiyun smiled and said, "Of course my little girl understands." Without looking at Aunt Ruan, she went straight to the other side of the incense table and stood still.

The patriarch saw that she was really quietly preparing to watch the ceremony, so he didn't say any more, and turned his head to order several clansmen to light incense and prepare for the sacrifice.

The Ruan family moved here from the north during the Qing Dynasty, so the ancestral hall was built later.Because it is a side branch, and there are no prominent officials, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the ancestors is naturally simple, offering incense to the ancestors, and then the patriarch himself notes the name and transfer in the genealogy, and it is completed.

Uncle Ruan commanded Ruan Xiaoxian to kneel down in front of the incense table. Just as the patriarch was about to take out the family tree, he heard Ruan Jiyun say from the side: "Wait a minute—"

"Yunniang, what do you have to talk about after the adoption is over, don't delay the business." The aunt was always worried, and when she saw her speak, she quickly interrupted, "This is the ancestral hall, the girls don't want to interrupt."

Ruan Jiyun turned to look at her: "I am the daughter of the Ruan family. Why can't my ancestors speak before their death? Auntie, you are not a woman, why bother to teach me a lesson? Now Xiaoxian is adopted into my room. As the eldest sister, I should Ask clearly."

"No noise is allowed in the ancestral hall!" The patriarch hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yunniang, speak quickly if you have something to say."

Ruan Jiyun respectfully bowed to the incense table to the end, and then said calmly: "Dare to ask the patriarch, Ruan Xiaoxian adopted my third house, and the eldest house lost its incense. How should we explain this matter?"

"Because your Ruan family only has one male now, so naturally he has two wives."

"Then I can't agree." The corners of Ruan Jiyun's mouth curled up, "All uncles must know that my father ran a weaving workshop when he was alive. After his death, because there was no one to inherit it, my uncle sold the property and bought enough money. There are 120 mu of high-quality paddy fields, and the annual output alone is [-] oceans."

"I have been engaged to the young master of the Jiang family since I was a child. The Jiang family is one of the richest families in Shanghai." She looked around at everyone's expressions. "As we all know, Master Jiang only has one son."

"My natal family has thousands of assets, and the family I want to marry is even more dignified! Ordinary families with three or five households can file lawsuits. If I inherit the incense for my father, there is a condition-this son must only belong to my three-bedroom family. Isn't that too much to ask for?"

Ruan Jiyun's words undoubtedly dropped a bomb on the calm water. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, but they couldn't help but set off a huge wave in their hearts.

120 acres of high-quality paddy fields, this is an asset worth thousands of oceans!As for the Jiang family, looking at Yunniang's style of clothing, how could she lose money if she became a young mistress in the future? This Ruan Da looked at it quietly, and his idea was really clever, and he actually wanted to take all the advantages into his own hands. Here, no wonder the adoptive has to rush to open the ancestral hall in the middle of the night!

Their Ruan family has no promising children for many years, and every household is guarding the fields to dig food. Now, listening to the implication of Ruan Jiyun's words, if they can give up a complete son... none of them would have it!

The eldest aunt had already seen the expressions of these clansmen, and said eagerly: "But... But Xiaoxian is his third uncle's nephew after all, and the blood relationship is no closer!"

"I didn't say I disagree, I just hope to have a complete successor." Ruan Jiyun sneered, looking at his cousin kneeling at his feet, "Xiaoxian, let me ask you, are you willing to give up your uncle and aunt?" Family, be my brother alone?"

In the flickering candlelight, Ruan Xiaoxian raised his head, meeting Ruan Jiyun's eyes.He already had a psychological shadow on this cousin. At this moment, the ancestral tablets in the hall were covered in darkness. His heart was tense, and he blurted out: "I am adopted to continue the incense for your third wife! What are you? Let me sever ties with my parents?"

When the eldest aunt felt something was wrong and wanted to make up for her son, Ruan Jiyun had already laughed. Before everyone could react, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Ruan Xiaoxian hard!

This slap was extremely heavy, even with Ruan Xiaoxian's physique, he was beaten to the side.His mind was buzzing, half of his face was in hot pain, his blood surged up immediately, he stood up and cursed angrily: "Are you crazy!"

Ruan Jiyun dared to hit him, so he was already prepared for this. At this time, she retreated nimbly to the back of the incense table. Seeing that Ruan Xiaoxian wanted to pounce, she grabbed the copper candlestick on the incense table, pointed the tip at Ruan Xiaoxian, and shouted loudly:

"Dare to make a fool of yourself in front of your ancestors and disturb the peace of the ancestral hall. I will teach you this stupid bastard for the ancestors and religions today!"

Ruan Xiaoxian's face was still hurting, suddenly seeing his always docile elder sister speak harshly, with the sharp point of the candlestick in his hand facing him, he gasped: "Why did you hit me?"

Ruan Jiyun didn't look at him either, and just said coldly: "Grandpa patriarch, everyone of the same clan, Yunniang's arrogance today is really a forced and helpless act. Thinking of my father's hard work all his life, there was never a time when he didn't give his full support whenever there was anything in the clan. Now that he wants to adopt him, is he not qualified to choose a good one? Uncle, do you think what I said makes sense? "

The patriarch saw that people were angry, and seeing Ruan Xiaoxian's muddy appearance that could not support the wall, he could only sigh and said: "We are all a family, so talk well if you have something to say."

Ruan Jiyun stood upright. At this moment, she was emotionally agitated, and the knuckles of her fingers holding the candlestick turned white due to the pinch.She said word by word: "As long as I am alive, I will not agree to let my father adopt such a son with ulterior motives. If this matter must be done today, I will die here immediately and go underground Apologize to father!"

"I'm afraid you're not crazy!" The aunt wanted to rush forward, but she was afraid of Ruan Jiyun's appearance at this time, so she could only say in a trembling voice,

"Aren't we doing these things for you? Thanks to me, I brought you up. Are you trying to avenge your kindness?"

"Shut up!" The patriarch finally ordered someone to drag Ruan Xiaoxian to the back first. Seeing that the aunt went to the battle in person, he immediately cursed a stupid thing in his heart, "Yunniang, this is the Ruan family's ancestral hall, please put down the candlestick first!"

Ruan Jiyun shook his head: "I am a soft-spoken person, and I can only use this life as a bet. Please give me justice."

The patriarch's lips moved, knowing that it would be difficult to fool this matter.Before he could come up with a countermeasure, someone walked into the ancestral hall again. Before the person arrived, the voice had already resounded:

"Sister Ruan, how can such a trivial matter be worth your life?"

Hearing this voice, Ruan Jiyun's eyes flickered, as if all the strength that had been desperately supporting her just now had a home, she raised her head trembling slightly, and saw a pair of familiar bright eyes.

On the way to follow Ruan Jining to the ancestral hall, Jiang Peifeng finally pieced together a rough story. She actually didn't care about the Ruan family's adoption issue. After all, in her plan, raising the little white flower herself was not a big deal.But when he saw Ruan Jiyun standing alone in the ancestral hall, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

The little white flower that I took good care of was actually forced to hold a candlestick to her neck?

If she comes one step later, she doesn't know how bullied she will be!

Thinking of this, her complexion sank: "I'll see who dares to touch you."

Jiang Peifeng's words were not without confidence. As her words fell, another respectful voice came from outside the ancestral hall: "Miss, Jiang Ming has already taken your name card to the county to find the county magistrate Yu. This movement, but something moved? Do you need to tell the police station by the way?"

The patriarch complained in his heart, originally it was only an internal matter of the clan, but this young lady was lucky enough to move out of the county magistrate.But he knew that Jiang Peifeng was not joking, what she was doing at this time was really trying to make a fool of Ruan Jiyun.

"Miss Jiang, this is a misunderstanding! I didn't make it clear..." He rubbed his hands and said, "It was originally a family matter, but it turned out to be a little anxious."

Jiang Peifeng walked up to Ruan Jiyun, first took off the candlestick in her hand, and then took Xiao Baihua's cold hands, and then said calmly: "The matter of adoption is based on your affection. I wish it. The one left by Uncle Ruan Property, we, Jiang Furniture, will not interfere at all, but whoever really has a good child, the Jiang family will naturally treat them as relatives."

She looked around at everyone in the room, and the corners of her lips curled: "Although our Jiang family is not a big family, it is not a problem to pay the tuition fees for the promising children to study abroad, or find an errand..."

The patriarch's heart sank more and more as she talked about it, and he knew that Ruan Da's end was hopeless.

Who has no selfishness in her heart, just now Yunniang publicized the Ruan family's wealth in front of everyone, and clamored to adopt an obedient and sensible one, many people were already moved.Coupled with Jiang Peifeng's words at this time, as long as he is not a fool, he probably knows how beneficial it will be to have Ruan Yunniang.

Even as the patriarch, he couldn't easily suppress the selfishness of a group of people.

Jiang Peifeng observed his expression quietly, then lowered his voice, and said as if he had no intention of saying: "Now is a new society. I heard that the county is vigorously promoting the rectification of bad habits. Just now, I saw that the situation was almost fatal... ...."

She didn't say this casually to scare people. Others may not know it. The patriarch has seen the county magistrate's low profile in front of the Jiang family. Although Jiang Peifeng is a girl, every word he said hits the heart of the patriarch.

"It must not, it must not be like this!" The patriarch hurriedly assured, "I just told Yun Niang that the matter of adoption needs to be discussed slowly. It was originally a good thing, and it was all for the good of the clan... .”

Jiang Peifeng smiled and said, "Then look at today."
