Chapter 97

Before entering the room, Rong Lanxue's heart was pounding nervously, but when she took the first step, she calmed down instead.Seeing all the people looking at her in unison, she had a slight smile on her face, her eyes were peaceful, and she looked around the audience. Everyone in the room seemed to have accepted the gaze she caressed.Several elders in the clan could even catch the earnest respect and appreciation in her eyes, which couldn't help but express themselves.

Zong Yunlong watched everyone quiet down for a moment, with a slight smile on his lips, he said loudly: "Elders in the clan, uncles, aunts, aunts, brothers and sisters, I have been back from Linjiang County for more than half a month. Because some business matters have not been handled properly, I have not been able to get together with my relatives and friends. It is rare that you are willing to show my nephew face today. I would like to thank everyone here." Zong Yunlong took the glass of wine that Ji Qing handed over, and held it up Everyone said: "I do it first to respect."

Seeing Zong Yunlong gulp down the drink, everyone let out good-natured laughter, Zong Yunlong put down the wine glass, and let Rong Lanxue sideways, with tenderness on his face, "Everyone has been guessing what kind of wife I brought back? So today I specially invite Miss Rong to come over, everyone can meet, this Miss Rong is the daughter of the largest silk and satin farmer in Linjiang County, she is well-versed in books and rituals, she is familiar with poetry and books, she is a female celebrity, and she behaves dignifiedly. Elegant temperament and outstanding appearance. Do you have any disagreement?"

Rong Lanxue listened to Zong Yunlong's introduction of herself like this, and secretly complained in her heart, but she put on a calm look on her face, looked at the crowd with a smile, and did not speak.

At this time, an old man with white beard and hair sitting in the main seat stood up, looked at Rong Lanxue, and said tremblingly: "Miss Rong, when Mr. Zong San proposed marriage, you want him to leave the room? Since ancient times, ordinary men can have three wives and four concubines, and they have never been married, how could you make such a request? This is great jealousy, how can you be the daughter-in-law of our clan?"

Rong Lanxue looked at the old man and felt angry. She had heard from the maids in each room that this white-haired man was the elder of the clan, Zong Dafu, who took care of everything.Moreover, at a young age, when she meets a beautiful girl, she still needs to send someone to propose a marriage. When Rong Lanxue heard this, she was extremely bored with this rich man. .If you are not angry, just hit one place, not to mention, the third son of your family clan proposed to disperse the Tongfang, but now it is going to be blamed on me.

Although Rong Lanxue was on fire in her heart, her face was still calm. She gave a deep salute, lightly parted her lips and said, "This elder, you left Tongfang because the third son of Zong repeatedly stated when he proposed marriage. Although my Rong family is in Linjiang There is some fame in the county, but it is also a family of rites, so how dare you make such an outspoken request."

"Since I know it well, can Yunlong marry a wife and welcome a concubine in the future?" Zong Dafu still grapples with this kind of question at an octogenarian age, which shows that he has become a habit of looking for flowers and asking willows on weekdays. Like her, one cannot live without a woman.Rong Lanxue couldn't bear it any longer, and said with a sneer, "Elder, do you have a wife or concubine?"

When Zong Dafu heard Rong Lanxue ask him this way, he thought she had a heart of repentance, so he glanced at Zong Yunlong proudly, Zong Yunlong also sneered, and thought to himself: "Uncle Zong, you asked for this, don't worry about it." Blame my nephew for not helping you."

Zong Dafu slightly stroked the three strands of goatee under his chin, and said proudly: "Of course I have, one wife, four concubines!"

"Oh." Rong Lanxue nodded, "May I ask if the elder's wife has any children?"

"There are two sons." Zong Dafu didn't understand Rong Lanxue's intention, and replied in surprise.

"There are seven stories in ancient times. Before I even got married, the elder condemned me for jealousy. The elder's wife gave birth to two sons for the elder. Why did the elder take concubines again and again? Dare to ask these seven concubines?" Is it only for women in the world? Doesn't this man need any restrictions?" Rong Lanxue looked at Zong Dafu and spoke aggressively.

Zong Dafu was speechless for a while, and said emphatically: "A man is the sky, he doesn't need any restraint."

"Oh? A man is the sky? I only heard that the emperor is the sky, the courtiers are the earth, and the people of the world are mustard seeds. Now that the elder proclaims himself the sky, do you dare to rebel?" Rong Lanxue looked at Zong Dafu's swollen face. Tong Zi's old face, a burst of hatred in his heart.

Zong Dafu didn't expect this new daughter-in-law, who had never been married, to contradict him in front of everyone. There was no place to put her old face on her face, and she yelled angrily: "This is the Zongfu, how can you allow a little girl like you to be presumptuous!"

"Little girl doesn't dare." Rong Lanxue stood up proudly, "Little girl is jealous by nature, so don't be self-righteous!"

"You...you..." Zong Dafu pointed at Rong Lanxue and was speechless: "You are simply rebellious."

"Elder Gui Geng?" Rong Lanxue suddenly said this sentence, which made everyone present stunned for a moment, the change must have been too fast.

Although that Zong Dafu had a flirtatious nature, he was also honest. When Rong Lanxue asked him, he immediately replied: "This old man is fifty-five this year."

Rong Lanxue looked at him in disbelief, with a gray beard, half of the hair on his forehead had fallen out, and his face was full of wrinkles.If it wasn't for the support of others, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground.

She walked up to Zong Yunlong, cast a glance at Zong Dafu who was still trembling, and said in a low voice, "Master Zong San, he is 55 years old!"

Zong Yunlong understood what Rong Lanxue meant, smiled silently, and replied softly: "Miss Rong, don't worry, I'm 65, and I won't look like this."

Zong Dafu was far away, he didn't hear what they were talking about, but he saw that the two of them seemed to ignore him, and their anger was about to flare up again.Zong Yunlong waved his hand slightly and said: "Uncle Zong, sit down and calm down when you are old. My wife has a stubborn temper since she was a child, but her character is very good. My wife, you are an old man who can't afford to be angry."

"Hmph, with such a hot temper, no matter how nice the person is, there will be no peace at home." Xu Shi was robbed by Rong Lanxue, and Zong Dafu didn't care about his status, and said it out of his mouth.

Zong Yunlong's complexion changed slightly, his eyes became fierce in an instant, and he looked at Zong Dafu. Zong Dafu knew he had made a mistake. Although he was an elder of the clan, his family's salary depended on Zong Yunlong, so he couldn't help lowering his head, pretending to drink tea.Zong Yunlong let out a muffled snort, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the elders were filled with righteous indignation at Rong Lanxue's rebuttal.The younger generation already hated the dignified appearance of the elders of these tribes, but now that the new sister-in-law is so refreshing, some of them have already worshiped her as an idol.

Zong Yunlong looked at the stern faces of the elders in the hall, and didn't take it seriously.He was worried that Rong Lanxue would be wronged, so he couldn't help but look at Rong Lanxue who was standing beside her, but Rong Lanxue had a calm expression on her face, as if nothing had happened at all.

Zong Ruyun sat beside her mother, watching Zong Dafu embarrass Rong Lanxue in public, and felt angry in her heart. Rong Lanxue's unyielding appearance had already become a hero in her heart.Seeing her standing there, she whispered something in her younger sister Zong Ruyue's ear. Zong Ruyue nodded immediately, got up and left her seat, ran to Rong Lanxue's side, pulled her arm and said, "Sister Lan, hurry up!" Come to me and my sister. Save the bad guys from bullying you."

Rong Lanxue listened to Zong Ruyue's words, worried that she would be troubled again, so she quickly took her hand and followed her to the banquet.In each room of the Zong family, except for the one who is in his arms, this is the youngest Ninth Miss Zong Ruyue. On the one hand, they like it, and on the other hand, they don't want to offend Zong Yunlong.Now that the atmosphere in the hall was awkward, Zong Ruyue ran out and dragged Rong Lanxue to sit, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Several elders comforted Zong Dafu there.A few little sisters here are sitting together, chattering, so excited that they can't help themselves.Zong Ruyun watched Rong Lanxue sit down, and immediately stretched out his thumb quietly.Rong Lanxue smiled slightly.The fifth wife also smiled and said: "Miss Rong, you are tired too, hurry up and have a cup of tea." Before the fifth wife finished speaking, a maid came forward to pour the fragrant tea.

Rong Lanxue took a sip lightly.Before he could speak, Zong Yunlong stood up again, held a toast and said: "Everyone, we have a happy gathering at home today, come, let's drink this cup together." Everyone stood up one after another, and there was also that Canadian, who thought he was highly respected, still sitting in his chair superior.Zong Yunlong didn't think it was a pestle, he picked up the wine and drank it down.

After drinking this glass of wine, the atmosphere suddenly became much more lively.At Rong Lanxue's table, besides the Fifth Wife, Zong Ruyun, and Zong Ruyue, there were two other young ladies sitting there with gentle manners, watching Zong Ruyun and Rong Lanxue chat speculatively, but quietly Just listening, Rong Lanxue sized them up, but couldn't guess which room they were in for a moment.

Seeing Rong Lanxue looking at the two ladies, Zong Ruyun immediately said, "Look at me, I was only talking to Sister Lan, but I forgot that there are two sisters here." She pointed to one of them who was wearing a blue jacket. The woman said: "This is the third cousin and the fourth cousin. They are the daughters of the third uncle."

Rong Lanxue smiled and said, "Hello, sisters." The third cousin, Zong Rumei, and the fourth cousin, Zong Ruxue, were all about the same age as Rong Lanxue. Hearing Rong Lanxue's address, she immediately replied, "Hello, sister Lan." .” The atmosphere on the table immediately became more harmonious.

Zong Yunlong's banquet today is all relatives and friends from his clan. The clan is a large family with a mixed crowd of people. Those who come and go with relatives only stay close to those who are close to their own family. There is an attitude of not getting in touch with each other.Men because they always have to worry about the overall situation.Sit down by seniority.The women didn't think about these things, and everyone sat together with the ones they were close to.

Zong Yunlong looked at Rong Lanxue sitting a little far away from the chairman's table, and thought for a while.With everyone's persuasion, Zong Dafu calmed down a little.Seeing Zong Yunlong's uneasy state, he reminded him earnestly: "Yunlong, a man should focus on big things, and don't miss his own future for the sake of his children's personal relationship."

Zong Yunlong listened to the words, but replied respectfully: "Uncle Zong said, come, come, Uncle Zong, all uncles, uncles, Yunlong toasts you."

Not far from the main table, the eldest wife, the second wife, and the third wife were sitting together. Tian Yueru sat beside the eldest wife with her head down, and looked up at Zong Yunlong from time to time, her eyes flashing with sadness.Seeing Tian Yueru's lovely and pitiful appearance, the eldest wife said distressedly: "Yueru, do you feel unwell?"

Tian Yueru shook her head, and whispered: "Auntie, I'm fine." The second wife watched from the side, couldn't help but smiled and said: "Miss Tian, ​​you are young, you must pay more attention."

Tian Yueru's face flushed with shame, "Thank you second wife, Yueru is fine." "This disease can't be sloppy, don't delay it because you haven't left the court, and you will regret it in the future." Go into the cracks in the ground.

After hearing what the third wife said, the eldest lady immediately stood up unhappily, and sternly shouted: "Old third family, what are you talking about? The child called you aunt, and you can say such words. Disrespectful!"
