Chen Danxia had planned to give 1,000 taels of silver to fool Xu Kui, but now Chen Danxia threw all the 1,000 taels of silver into the river and drifted it, and was not going to give it to Xu Kui. Just as he was about to make another harsh words, Mingxiang trotted in from outside, "Third Mrs., the letter from the third master has arrived."

"Give it to me quickly." Chen Danxia had no time to pay attention to Xu Kui, and cut the mess quickly. "Mo Li and Mo Qi, send the old man out and let the old lady and several old concubines go back to the farm to rest with the old man."

After saying that, Chen Danxia took the letter and went straight into the warm room.

In the warm trunk, Qing'er struggled in the wet nurse's arms. Seeing Chen Danxia coming in, she shouted urgently, "Mom."

"Okay, Qing'er, it's okay." Chen Danxia signaled the wet nurse to let go of Qing'er.

Qing'er rushed over, grabbed Chen Danxia's skirt, and asked, "Mom, when will Dad come back and ask Dad to come back, beat that bad guy, beat him to death, beat him to death."

"That bad guy, your father is back, so you can't beat him, let alone beat him to death." Chen Danxia touched her head, "You go and play with Grandma Yu." Outside the house, Mo Li and Mo Qi knocked Xu Kui unconscious and carried him out. There was no way he refused to leave obediently, and was still shouting for money.

"Oh, mom, I'll be back to have dinner with you later." Qing'er smiled.

"Okay, go." Chen Danxia drove Qing'er away, and she focused on Xu Lang's letter. The letter did not have long, and his handwriting was written in a hurry. The letter said that when he was pursuing the bandits, a group of people who had occupied the mountain and became king were now encircling and suppressing them.

After reading it twice, Chen Danxia folded the letter and put it into the small wooden box. He called Mingxiang in and asked, "Who is the sender, please ask, why is it two days late?"

"The person who sent the letter was Brother Chang Mo next to the Third Master. The road collapsed due to heavy rain." Mingxiang said.

Chang Mo is one of the most important guards around Xu Lang and will not leave him easily. This time Xu Lang sent him back to Beijing, definitely not to send a letter, so why? Chen Danxia was unwilling to make random guesses, so he called Mo Si in and said, "Go and tell Chang Mo that before returning to Yunnan, come to see me first."

Mo said that he was right and went out to contact Chang Mo.

After reading the letter, he knew that Xu Lang was fine. Chen Danxia had the intention to continue dealing with Xu Kui. "Send the old man, the old lady and the old ladies to the farm, stop all offerings, and let the news go out, and say that the old man needs ten thousand taels of silver to enter the temple to practice the Taoist temple, so he is preparing to sell the Xu family's ancestral home. If anyone needs to buy it, he can come to the Xu family to negotiate."

Chen Danxia curled his lips and sneered. In order to raise 10,000 taels of silver, he would sell his ancestral home. It was natural to stop all offerings, but it was not that his sons and daughters-in-law were unfilial.

Once the news of selling the ancestral home was released, the person who was most angry and anxious was Mrs. Xu Er. That was the ancestral home, and that was the foundation of the Xu family's legitimate lineage. How could it be sold? Although the second and third houses were divided into legitimate branches, if the eldest house could not maintain the ancestral home, according to the Xu family's ancestral teachings, the second and third houses could be replaced.

The second old lady came to Xu Mansion in a soft sedan chair despite her age and weakness. During the Chinese New Year last year, she was unable to come to worship her ancestors because of her physical discomfort. Everyone thought she could not survive, so they all started to prepare for her funeral. Unexpectedly, she survived with a lot of tonics and lived until the end of this year.

When Chen Danxia heard the second wife of Xu coming, she sighed inwardly. It was her inadequate consideration that made the old man suffer. But in order to attack Xu Kui and Xu Lang's reputation, she had to do this.

When the two old ladies saw Chen Danxia and the other four, they asked: "Where is that evil man now?"

"The old man has gone to the village." Chen Danxia said.

"Did he have to sell his ancestral home?" the second old lady asked in a deep voice.

"The old man wants 10,000 taels of silver, but there is no one in the mansion, so he can only sell his ancestral home to raise money." Chen Danxia said calmly.

The second old lady took a deep breath. She had already understood Chen Danxia's intention at this time. The foundation of the eldest son's house for so many years was impossible to not be able to afford 10,000 taels of silver. The reason why he wanted to sell his ancestral home was that the father and son of the eldest son's house were fighting. Xu Lang was in Yunnan, which means that the person who wanted to deal with Xu Kui was Chen Danxia.

This little woman is so bold

Yes, she has five sons under her knees, and she has the confidence.

In an instant, the two old ladies figured it out and made a choice, "The eldest nephew wants to enter the meditation and practice Taoism. If he can truly practice the method of immortality, he will embark on the path of immortality. We ordinary relatives in the world should not stop it. Cut off this bond, and don't miss his great opportunity. Lang Ge's daughter-in-law."

"The nephew and grandson-in-law are here." Chen Dan responded, with his lips slightly raised. Xu Kui was trying to die by himself. Don't blame her for taking the opportunity and cutting off his bad tumor.

"A tribe meeting will be held in three days, and you will have someone call your eldest nephew back." said the second old lady.

"Grandma, the third master is now suppressing bandits in Yunnan and cannot take over as the clan leader in three days. Can the child Junyan take over the position of father?" Chen Danxia asked.

The second old lady didn't expect that Chen Danxia would just take the patriarch into his bag. She was stunned for a moment and said, "The position of the patriarch of the nephew and grandson-in-law must be elected by the elders of the clan."

"Grandma, my husband is the only one in the tribe who is an official in the court and is ranked fourth in the official position. Now he is ordered by the emperor to suppress bandits. Who else is qualified to be the leader of this tribe except my husband?" Chen Danxia looked up and looked at the two old wives with a firm look. The leader must be made by Xu Lang, and he wanted her to make wedding dresses for others, but there was no way.

After being implicated by Gao Jing, Xu Qi has been mourning for his mother. He is still hopeless to seek an official position. Xu Qi, the son of the second wife, has a low official position and is only sixth rank. The Xu family has been demoted by Xu Kui. Now the highest official position is only fourth rank. This is the lowest-grade leader in the history of the Xu family. This is the tragedy of the Xu family. Of course, Xu Lang is still young and has unlimited room for improvement.

The second old lady closed her eyes, Chen Danxia waited for her to think clearly, but did not urge her. Qin, Xiao Wang and Sun Zhenniang stood aside and did not dare to speak. After a long time, the second old lady opened her eyes, looked at Chen Danxia, ​​and slowly said: "Lang Ge's daughter-in-law, I am just a dying old woman. There are only a limited number of people who are willing to obey my words. Major events in the clan are decided by the clan elders."

Chen Danxia smiled faintly, "Grandma is too modest. Those old men of the tribe want to call their uncle and grandmother, I think they will definitely listen to it."

The second old lady took a deep breath and said, "Let Jun Yan work hard for a day that day."

"Uncle Xie." The reason why Chen Danxia wanted Xu Lang to be the leader of the Xu clan was just in case, so that the clan's binding force was not weaker than the imperial power; although the Xu clan was still stable, there were no long-term plans and there must be immediate worries; in order to eliminate all possibilities, Chen Danxia must let Xu Lang replace Xu Kui as the leader.

The second old lady waved her hand tiredly and called someone to come in to carry her home. Chen Danxia and others took her out and got on the carriage. The second old lady lifted the curtain and looked at Chen Danxia standing on the steps with a smile on her face. She sighed softly. If Xu Lang was her grandson, she would be her grandson-daughter-in-law. How great would it be? The second house could replace the eldest house. Unfortunately, with their husband and wife, the second house could only be a legitimate branch.

In the afternoon, Chen Danxia gave her a reward and gave her a gift to the second room. She also gave her a quota to study at Tai Academy to Xu Qi's youngest son. The second old lady didn't care much about the gift, but she had to accept the quota from Tai Academy. After all, she should do her job to Chen Danxia, ​​contact the wives of the old tribes, and invite them to drink tea.

The ancestral sacrifice of the Xu clan is held every ten years. At that time, the Xu clans from all over the country would return to Jindu. Usually, the three legitimate families attended the festival at the end of the year. The urgent convening of this clan meeting was that there was no notification, and there was no time to notify the clansmen outside the country.

The day before the clan meeting, Chen Danxia asked someone to "invite" Xu Kui from the village; Xu Kui was so angry that he shouted in a sharp voice: "What clan meeting is there for me, the clan leader, who is the one who is good at holding a clan meeting?" Xu Kui's object was burned, the beard on his chin became sparse, and his voice became feminine.

"It's the second old lady." Chen Danxia told him calmly.

Xu Kui seemed to be strangled by something, without any sound.

The next morning, the ten elders of the Xu family, accompanied by their children and grandchildren, arrived at the Xu Mansion. Mrs. Xu also came in a sedan chair. Mrs. Xu's complexion was worse than three days ago, and she looked dead gray, and the deadline was approaching.

The people who came forward to entertain guests were Xu Yi, Xu Shuo and Xu Sheng. Xu Kui sat in the main seat with a gloomy face. The clan elders ignored him and politely spoke to each other. After drinking a cup of tea, they entered the innermost room of the ancestral hall.

Xu Qi also helped Mrs. Xu into the house. It has been fifty years since Mrs. Xu married into the Xu family. According to the ancestral teachings, she can already enter the room that worships the ancestors of the Xu family. Xu Kui, as the current patriarch, led the way in, followed by ten clan elders, then Mrs. Xu Er, and then the heads of each house of the Xu family in Jindu. Xu Lang was outside the city and could not come back, so the one who came forward on his behalf was his eldest son Xu Junyan; Xu Chao was dead, and the heads of his house were his son Xu Junkun. Two children who were under ten years old were serious.

After they entered, the door was closed. Chen Danxia and Sun Zhenniang could not enter, so they could only wait outside. Half an hour later, the door opened and Xu Kui rushed out of the inside with an angry face. Chen Danxia and Sun Zhenniang heard the sound, walked out of the small hall, and met Xu Kui. Xu Kui looked at Chen Danxia, ​​as if he saw an enemy, raised his hand and was about to slap Chen Danxia.

"Stop" the second old lady went out and happened to see this scene, and she almost angrily passed away. A father-in-law beats his daughter-in-law, and if there are any human ethics rules to spread, the juniors of the Xu family don't want to get married.

Chen Danxia is not a fool, so she stood and asked Xu Kui to beat her, not to mention that Mo Si Mo Wang was beside her; Mo Si grabbed Xu Kui's wrist and pinched it hard, so that Xu Kui screamed in pain, "Bitch, you actually dare to offend me, I will never forgive me."

"Lang Ge's daughter-in-law, let your maid loosen your hands and don't make trouble in the ancestral hall." The old clan said in a deep voice.

Chen Danxia raised his lips and said something interesting. You should not make a fuss inside the ancestral hall. It means that you can do it outside the ancestral hall. Chen Danxia naturally would not ask. Judging from Xu Kui's angry look, he knew that the change of leader was a foregone conclusion. Chen Danxia did not have to beat the dog in front of everyone at this time. He obeyed the words of the old clan and said, "Don't miss it, let go."

Mo Shi threw Xu Kui's hand away and retreated behind Chen Danxia.

"Xu Kui, since this thing in the world is over, you can go back to your Taoist temple to practice." The second old lady helped Chen Danxia drive people away.

"This practice of Taoism is not an easy task. Don't get involved in these worlds, so as not to ruin your practice." The old man from the ten clans agreed.

"Come here, send the Taoist priest back to the Taoist temple." Chen Danxia changed his name to Xu Kui, and from then on there was no old master in the Xu family.

The person Chen Danxia arranged immediately set up Xu Kui and walked out. Xu Kui is now in a difficult situation. He had changed his words and said that he would not practice Taoism, but the clan elders didn't listen to a word and advised him to say that this was a great opportunity and should not be missed. He said that the ancestors would bless him, and the Xu family would have to force him to practice Taoism. It would be fine to force him to practice Taoism, but he also forcibly exempted his patriarch and let the rebellious son who was still outside be the patriarch.

Although the clan elders have agreed to be the leader of Xu Lang as the clan leader, they have to wait for the ancestor worship to inform the whole clan, so the clan leader Xu Lang is justified; next year is exactly the year for the Xu clan to hold the ancestral sacrifice, and today the clan elders have also calculated the day for the ancestral sacrifice next year, September 25th.

After forcibly sending Xu Kui away, Xu Shuo smiled politely: "It's a cold day, I'm sorry for all my uncles and uncles to come and go for a trip. I've prepared a small wine. I'll also ask my uncles and uncles to have a few drinks to warm up my body."

The second old ladies did not stay for dinner, and the clan elders and their children and grandchildren stayed. Xu Lang, the freshly released clan leader, was not at home. Xu Junyan replaced his father with tea instead of wine, toasted the clan elders three cups. The clan elders had enough wine and had their own meals and left.

Chen Danxia brought Xu Junyan back to Lingxiyuan, "Thank you for your hard work today. Are you afraid when you are with the clan elders?"

"Don't be afraid, mom, my son doesn't feel it's hard." Pangpang was very happy to be able to share the matter for his mother. He took out a plain satin purse from his arms and handed it to Chen Danxia. "Mom, this is the key handed over by the clan elders and the former clan elders. The clan elders asked me to hand it over to my father." He said that he was handed over, but in fact he was robbed.

"The clan elder asked you to hand it over to your father, why did you hand it over to me?" Chen Danxia asked with a smile without answering it.

Pangpang smiled and said, "Mom, you and your father are one. There is no difference between giving it to you and marrying a father. Besides, I don't know when my father will come back. I hold this key, what if it is lost?"

Chen Danxia took the purse and took out the key. It was a copper key with an ancient pattern. Looking at the pattern, Chen Danxia felt very familiar, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he pondered for a moment, and said, "Pangpang, you go back to your room and rest."

After knocking Pangpang away, Chen Danxia tied the door, entered the inner room, twisted the mechanism, opened the secret compartment, took out the two copper keys given to her by Master Fazong from it, put the three keys together, and you can immediately see that this is a set.
