Chapter 599 Choose an excellent nephew to be my heir
Shao Ying is younger and has an impetuous temper. The more she speaks, the more excited she becomes, and the louder she speaks, it attracts the attention of people around her.
Arranging the elders is no small matter, not to mention Mrs. Shao, even their respective parents can't spare them!
Shao Ya covered Shao Ying's mouth angrily, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Are you crazy? What should you say and what should you not say, don't you have any idea?"
Shao Ying finally realized that she had gone too far, and quickly shut her mouth.
Seeing that Shao Ying had listened to her warning, Shao Ya let go of her hand, and said in a volume that everyone around her could hear: "When the family meeting is over, follow me to Grandma's to receive the punishment."
"Oh, got it."
Seeing this, the people around stopped paying attention to the two sisters, but turned their attention back to Yunmo.
Ms. Shao and Shao Lin's mother and son sang together, presented the facts and reasoned, and used the excellence of their daughter (granddaughter) to block all the voices that tried to prevent Yunmo from going on the family tree.
Sunrise in the east, rain in the west.
The matter of Yunmo's access to the family tree was settled, and the elders of the clan began to talk about Shao Lin's lifelong events.
It is nothing more than that Shao Lin, as the head of the family, has to think about the overall situation, and has to get married and have children as soon as possible, so that no successors of the Shao family will be like this.
In the past, Shao Lin would at most say "I haven't met a woman who can take care of the mistress of the Shao family and me", and blocked everyone back.
But today, he prepared a new set of rhetoric for the first time.
"I know that all uncles and uncles have good intentions. They are worried about my personal affairs and the inheritance of the whole family. It is true that I did not do well. I am over forty and still live alone. Worrying about me for so many years, being a son of man is really unfilial and unrighteous.
Today I am here to make a promise to everyone, and to my mother. If I have not resolved my personal affairs before the age of forty-five and have no children under my name, then I will choose from among the young nephews in the family. A fine nephew to be my heir. "
These words had a much greater impact than Yunmo's background, the roof of the entire ancestral hall was almost blown off.
Everyone whispered in twos and threes, with different expressions.
Yun Mo looked at Shao Lin on the left, and Mrs. Shao on the right. The mother and son were both calm and composed, apparently they had reached a consensus on this matter in private.
"Patriarch, are you going to choose an heir from the main family or the clan?"
"What requirements and conditions do you have for the heir?"
After discussing for a while, some impatient people began to ask Shao Lin questions.
Shao Lin answered one by one without haste, "First of all, I have a prerequisite for choosing an heir from the nephews of the family, that is, there is no family background and no heirs before the age of forty-five.
Secondly, what I choose is not only a stepson, but also the future heir of the family, so this condition and requirement should not be established by me unilaterally.
As for the others, I will hold a small internal meeting with all my uncles to discuss it when I am free some other day. "
"I agree with the Patriarch's proposal!"
"I agree too."
Shao Lin's words were unanimously supported by the whole clan.
Can you not support it? Among the older generation present, there are not many young grandsons. If they are lucky and their grandsons are picked by Shao Lin, wouldn’t they be able to ascend to heaven alone?
The family meeting came to an end with everyone's satisfaction.
Shao Lin, Yun Mo, Mrs. Shao, and several clan elders who were in charge of offering sacrifices stayed behind, and accompanied Yun Mo to worship the ancestors of the Shao family, while the other Shao family went back to each family to find their own mothers.
Shao Ya followed the crowd to the outside of the ancestral hall. While walking, she couldn't help but look back at the girl in the white dress inside the sacrificial hall.
It is also a good thing for Shao Lin to choose an heir from the family. Her younger brother Shao Yixuan is 15 years old this year, and will be 18 or 9 years old in a few years, so he has a great advantage in age.
But she was also worried that Shao Mo would hinder her brother's election because of his personal grievances with her brother.
I knew earlier, when my younger brother went to trouble Shao Mo that day, she should have stopped her.
Shao Ya thought with regret, and went back to the west courtyard with a heavy heart.
Shao Ying struggled to follow behind her, "Eldest sister, walk slowly, hurry up to reincarnate..."
Shao Ya stopped, turned to stare at Shao Ying, "What should you call me?"
"Big...second sister?"
Shao Ya looked at her seriously, "Shao Mo has already entered the genealogy, and is recognized by the whole family as the young lady of the Shao family. You and I have to move one seat back in our generation. Forget it this time, and call it wrong next time. I will never forgive you lightly."
Shao Ying was rather disapproving, "Eldest, second sister, are you really willing? You have been the eldest lady for eighteen years, but now you are being taken away by a country bumpkin who doesn't know where you come from..."
"Shut up! She is my uncle's own daughter and our eldest sister. If you don't understand etiquette, you can go back and learn it!"
Shao Ya has always cared for her younger brothers and sisters, and she has never scolded them in public like today. Shao Ying was angry and wronged, her eyes were redder than rabbits.
"Sister, you scolded me, you actually scolded me for an outsider..."
Seeing that Shao Ying is so out of touch, and still keeps saying that Shao Mo is an outsider, Shao Ya didn't bother to talk anymore, turned around and quickly disappeared.
Shao Ying froze on the spot, totally not understanding what she did wrong.
Until an old uncle who had a good relationship with the East Courtyard pulled her aside and said, "You, you are such an adult, and you are still so impetuous. This person comes and goes, and you call Sister Aya one by one, and then call her "Sister Aya". Say Shao Mo is an outsider, don't you think about what your uncle and grandma will think when these words are heard?
Even if you are not afraid of making your uncle unhappy, you still have to think about your elder brother. Your elder brother is the son of the family, and he is the most qualified to be the heir of the head of the family. Don't ruin his future..."
Hearing these words, Shao Ying broke out in a cold sweat.
"Fifth uncle, what should I do now? What I said just now must have been heard, and it might reach the ears of the grandma and the others one day. It's over. If I cause the second brother to fail to be the heir, I will Dad will definitely kill me."
"You should also know something, learn more from your sister Aya. How can she feel at ease when her good young lady is robbed? But you see, she doesn't show her beauty, so she can't be seen by others. It's a little bit of a mistake, she scolded you just now for your own good, you go to her and admit your mistake, and then go home and tell your mother about it, let her find a way to remedy it."
"Well, I see! Thank you Fifth Uncle!"
After entering the West Courtyard, Shao Ying went straight to Shao Ya's bedroom, but the bedroom and study room were empty. After asking, she found out that Shao Ya hadn't returned to the West Courtyard at all.
"Eldest sister, no, second sister! So you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time."
Shao Ya glanced back at Shao Ying, turned around and continued to casually feed the goldfish in the pond.
