Li Heng, who stood by, suddenly changed his face when he saw these old men.
Li Qieyou also had a bitter face. He had no choice but to respectfully bow and greet: "Qieyou has seen the patriarch and several grandfathers."
Several old people are the elders of Li clan in Huxian county.
The Li clan in Huxian county is a side branch of the Tang clan. Li forget worry's family is one of the Li clan in Huxian county.
In the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult for modern people to understand the great influence of clan on the people in the family.
With the patriarchal power as the core, a strict clan was established by means of genealogy, clan rules, ancestral halls and clan fields. Even if Li forgets to worry about the dead ghost's father Li Zhou, who once supervised Huxian and had a prominent scenery, he must obey the will of the clan head and the clan elders.
The so-called family rules, family rules, that is the case.
In addition, Li Zhou had to give away a lot of family property for clan communism, named "tongcai", "Gongcai", "Zhongcai", "Zhongye", "Zhongfen Tianye" and so on, to support all the people in the clan.
It can be said that a large part of the huge debt of 2 million yuan that Li forgets you is now carrying is because Li Zhou is demanded by the clan and has no savings at home. He can only borrow money from the public and hand it over to the clan as clan property.
Since it was reported that the Wang family in Taiyuan had plans to withdraw their marriage, the most fierce opposition was these patriarchal elders.
Unlike Li Heng, a loyal servant, the elders of the Li clan in Huxian county only consider the face and interests of the family.
They don't care who Li forgets to marry.
Even if he marries a pig of the Wang family in Taiyuan, they don't mind, on the premise that they can't lose the face of Li family in Huxian county.
Family interests always come first.
Li forgot to worry about bowing and greeting, but received a cold reprimand: "evil, kneel down!"
Kneel down?
Li forgets to worry some silly eyes, NIMA. I haven't knelt once in my last life. Now I'm going to kneel when I cross over?
After hesitating for a moment, Li forgot to worry and decided to bear it. People had to bow their heads under the eaves. He lifted his robe and knelt down slowly.
"Li Xiaolang, do you still have some of our grandfathers in your eyes? Are you going to write a divorce letter if we don't come today?" the old clan leader went straight to the main seat of the main room and sat down. Several elders also sat down one after another before asking.
"I..." Li forgot to worry and was silent. He scolded in his heart. Shameless old things are not your marriage. You are so excited!
"Li Xiaolang, I tell you, unless I die today, it won't be up to you, a hairy boy!" the gray haired old patriarch clubbed the floor with his crutch.
"The patriarch said that even if Li Zhou was here, it would not be up to him, let alone the hairy boy." several elders agreed one after another.
"The patriarch has to make up his mind about it."
The old clan leader smiled, stroked his beard, and asked politely to the restless Wang you, "is this the Wang from Taiyuan?"
"I've seen Duke Li. It's Wang you, the steward of the Wang family in Taiyuan." Wang you had no choice but to stand up and salute.
"Housekeeper Wang has been working hard for a long time. I'm the head of the Li family in Huxian county. You can talk about the marriage with me." the head of the family said with a smile and waved to the little girl Peilan: "come here and beat my legs. I don't have anything to see."
Pelan dared not disobey. Wei knelt down beside the old patriarch and helped him gently beat his legs.
Seeing that the old man was so impolite that he completely regarded his home as his residence, Li forgot to worry and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, but he endured it and didn't speak.
The old patriarch's words made Wang you very bored. He had already talked with the little husband of the Li family. It seems that there will be changes.
"Li Gongyan is serious. The marriage has just been settled with the little husband of the Li family. You see..."
"He's a young generation. I have to help him decide these things. Housekeeper Wang, I'll never leave the Li family for this marriage. Please tell housekeeper Wang to reply to your master." the old clan leader interrupted rudely.
"This..." Wang you didn't know what to say in the face of Li's patriarch and elders in Huxian county. He turned his eyes to Li forgetful, who knelt in the middle of the main room.
Li forgets worry, but can only say: "old clan leader, several grandfathers, this matter has been settled with housekeeper Wang before forgetting worry. People can't break their promise."
"Presumptuous! When is your turn to speak? Kneel down there." the old clan leader slapped several cases and angrily scolded.
Li Qieyou was so angry that he almost ran away. Is there any human rights? I have no say in my marriage. It's an evil feudal society!
His temper also came up. These ethnic elders completely regarded themselves as a dish and wanted to knead as much as they wanted.
Li forgot to worry about his neck and said in a loud voice, "tell the patriarch that when my adults were alive, they often taught my children to keep their words. Confucius said: words must be believed and deeds must bear fruit. However, villains! Suppression can also be secondary. Since I have promised housekeeper Wang, how can I go back?"
The adult in his mouth refers to his father Li Zhou.
With a slap, the old clan leader directly overturned several cases in front of the table: "how did the Li family in Huxian give birth to such a evil obstacle? Li's face was lost by your Li family and son!"
"Like your dead father, you know what's disgraceful and worthless for Li!"
"Yes, Li Zhou is also an asshole. He disobeyed the Lord and lost his job for no reason, which shamed the Li family in Huxian!" several elders also spoke one after another and targeted Li Zhou, Li forgetful's father.
Li, who had maintained a respectful attitude, trembled with anger at the words of several ethnic elders.
Although he hasn't even met Li Zhou, he is, after all, the father of his current body. Why should he be humiliated by several ethnic elders!
Even Pei LAN, a servant girl who knelt down to help the old clan leader beat her legs, couldn't help saying, "Hui clan leader, my old master is a good man, he..."
The little servant girl's voice didn't fall, but he saw the old patriarch directly raise his hand and slap him, "pa", beating the little servant girl directly to one side.
"Uncivilized bitch, when is your turn to interrupt!"
"Li Zhou's son's discipline is not good, even his maidservant is so unruly." the old man also shook his head and sneered.
"Sure enough, there are as many slaves as there are masters. If I had been in my house, I would have dragged them out to kill and feed the dog."
Li forgot to worry and couldn't help it any more. Teng stood up, walked quickly to Peilan, and looked carefully at whether the little girl was hurt.
But I saw a dark palm print on the little servant girl's pink face. In an instant, the little face swelled, the corners of her mouth were broken, and a trace of bright red blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth.
Seeing Li forgetting to worry, Peilan didn't dare to cry for pain. Instead, she quickly knelt down and buried her head low: "Lang Jun, the maid is wrong."
"Silly girl, you're right. It's them who are wrong." Li forgetful wiped the blood from the corners of Peilan's mouth with his sleeve, turned back and stood up and roared, "that's enough! I don't care about my marriage. Please go back! Li Heng, see off!"
