Two singing Miao songs

A solemnly dressed woman walked through the crowd calmly and stood in the middle of the crowd.

"Hui Niang..."

Ah Hu timidly bowed to her, eager to tell the Patriarch what happened, but saw Hui Niangyu raised her hand, even if the manuscript had reached her mouth, she could only tear it up and swallow it back.

Arranging for someone to carry Ah Hu onto the stretcher, Huiniang made a false obeisance to Ruo Lin, even though it was a salute, there was no respect at all.

"Ah Hu didn't walk carefully, and stood here to hinder the family's preparations for the festival. He was really ambitious. The saint's sentence can be regarded as a lesson for the reckless boy, so that he can grow his mind. Not everyone will listen to him. Compensation. As the head of the family, my elder thanked the saint for her decision."

Although Hui Niang was talking about Ah Hu's fault on the surface, she was actually implying that Ruo Lin was protecting her family.Although she considers herself an elder, there is a hint of gloating in it.

Ruo Lin was still too young, she could hear the sarcasm in Hui Niang's words, she was so angry that her face was distorted and she didn't know how to fight back with words.

Happy to enjoy Ruolin's angry look, Hui Niang held her head high, with a triumphant smile on her lips.Obviously this is not the first time she has embarrassed Ruo Lin.

Everything was seen by Jiang Yu.He thought to himself that this 'Hui Niang' was probably the collateral patriarch that Ruoyu mentioned before coveting the position of the clan mother.To be honest, Hui Niang has a strong aura, is calm in dealing with things, and is already the head of the collateral lineage. She has accumulated a certain amount of prestige and is absolutely qualified to sit on the position of the mother of the family.Such a woman, it's no wonder that Ruoyu Ruolin's two brothers and sisters are jealous of her.

Suddenly Huiniang tilted her head. Because of her height, Jiang Yu stood out from the crowd, and happened to meet her eyes.To Jiang Yu's surprise, Huiniang walked straight towards him, and she was able to identify him by opening her mouth.

"You are Miaomiao's son, right? I am Hui Niang, and your mother is a cousin. In terms of seniority, you should call me 'Auntie'." Hui Niang's attitude towards Jiang Yu was slightly more than when she was treating Ruo Lin. Affectionate and casual, less tit-for-tat.

"Jiang Shi Hengzhi, I have met my aunt." In order to show respect to the elder, Jiang Yu respectfully kowtowed.He had heard from He Ruoyu a long time ago that the members of the Tengqi clan shared the same surname, and they did not distinguish between the characters of the names, so he directly referred to himself by the characters, which would cause unnecessary confusion.

This trick is very useful for Hui Niang, she has a gentle face, and what she said is the advice of the elders: "Hengzhi, I know that sister Miaomiao taught you the Golden Snake Gu. Since you have the blood of the Tengqi clan, you should understand The meaning that Golden Snake Gu represents, you should think twice before teaching and using it."

Hearing the meaning behind the words, Ruolin said in a bad tone: "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. Jiang Yu came to teach me how to refine the Golden Snake Gu, and it seems that it has nothing to do with you."

Facing Ruolin's thorny words, Hui Niang just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, turned her head and left gracefully.This attitude of not taking it seriously at all naturally made Ruolin angry again.

After the crowd had dispersed, Er Zhu, who had been standing silently all this time, made a sound, and apologized.

Ruolin was still thinking about Hui Niang's actions just now, when she heard Er Zhu's words, she took a deep breath and said, "It's not your problem, hurry up and prepare the campfire, I will take care of this matter."

Watching the big Er Zhu push a cart of dry firewood away, Jiang Yu asked, "When will there be a festival?"

Ruolin was still angry, she rolled her eyes at Jiang Yu, and said in a hurry: "Three days later, my family's Nvwa Empress Ceremony will be held. You don't even know it. You are still a Golden Snake Gu master in vain." Then she turned her head and left go.

Jiang Yu, who made a gas bucket for no reason, was puzzled.Looking at the back of Ruolin leaving angrily, and recalling Hui Niang again, he took out the folding fan from his waist, shook his head, and sighed, "It's too bad."

In the small building, Ruoyu, who had changed into Hanfu, rewrapped the bandage on his ankle, and planned to go out to the street to see what happened.At this time, the bamboo and wood stairs creaked as if someone was venting, and Ruoyu knew that it was Ruolin who was losing her temper.

As the door was pushed open, Ruolin sat down angrily, picked up the teacup and poured water for herself, trying to extinguish the burning anger in her heart.

"My sister, what happened?" Ruoyu stepped forward and asked.

Before Ruolin put down her teacup, Jiang Yu who came back later said leisurely, "She was selfish, so she was spared the crime of hitting someone with a cart in my family, and was caught by Hui Niang, the head of the next family." Standing by the table, He Ruoyu was wearing barefoot clothes and silver jewelry. He was dressed just as stunningly as when he first saw him.

"I'm not taking sides!" Ruo Lin hurriedly defended, "Er Zhu didn't bump into Ah Hu."

"Why are you so sure?"

"intuition."

Jiang Yu couldn't believe his ears, he snorted softly, thinking that Ruolin was joking.

Ruoyu pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Erzhu himself said he didn't hit Ahu?" After getting Ruolin's affirmative answer, Ruoyu nodded, apparently on Ruolin's side.

Jiang Yu, who thought that Ruoyu would be more rational, did not expect this to happen. He looked at He Ruoyu in disbelief: "Teng Qi Ruolin, please go out first."

"Why..." Ruo Lin, who wanted to refuse, turned to Jiang Yu, but saw that he had put away his gentleness at this time, and his eyes were calm and clear.Ruolin's heart skipped a beat, she knew this man was serious.This realization extinguished the flame in her heart without a trace, leaving only a trace of fear.

She quickly drank the tea in one gulp, and ran away without looking back.For a while, only Jiang Yu and Ruoyu were left in the room.

"I kind of understand why you asked me to swear that you can only teach the Golden Snake Gu to Teng Qiruolin alone." Calling her by her full name was also because Jiang Yu was extremely disappointed in this girl.

"Why, do you want to break your oath?" Teng Qi Ruoyu didn't deny it, and then asked back.

The vows made cannot be broken.This is Jiang Yu's principle.He Ruoyu also saw through this point, so when he left Jiangfu, he asked Jiang Yu to swear an oath, and he had to confirm it again and again before he was satisfied.At that time Jiang Yu felt strange and didn't understand what his intention was.Thinking about it now, I'm afraid He Ruoyu also vaguely felt that his sister was not enough to support the Tengqi clan, and worried that she would not be recognized by Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu raised his head and said, "Joke, I, Jiang Hengzhi, keep my word and will naturally abide by my oath. But," the subject changed, Jiang Yu stared into He Ruoyu's eyes, "I don't intend to teach her right now."

He Ruoyu just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he heard Jiang Yu's refusal to teach, his eyes turned red instantly.Regardless of other things, he stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yu's lapel, and said angrily: "Jiang Yu, you promised, how can you keep your word! The clan mother and grandma are unconscious, and one of the clan mother is hanging in the air. Those people The heads of the collateral families are all eyeing him, each with their own ghosts. The Tengqi clan may fall apart at any time. The only way now is to let Amei refine the Golden Snake Gu, officially take over as the clan mother, and unify the families. You actually told me, you Not going to teach?!"

He Ruoyu's eyes were red with anxiety, never thought that Jiang Yu would not be angry but smiled, and said: "If I teach her now and let her take over as the mother of the clan, it will be harming your clan. Just because she can do it without any evidence to support it. I can't help her to the throne if I make a decision so easily. Now it's a private dispute among the clan. If she makes such intuitive judgments on major clan affairs in the future, it will only bring disaster to the clan. This principle, Come to think of it, you also understand."

"She's still young now. When she becomes the clan mother, I can teach her slowly." People's hearts are always biased, and He Ruoyu doesn't know that Ruo Lin is not yet mature.The expectations of the patriarch and grandma have already weighed on Ruolin's thin shoulders like a huge mountain, how can he, as an older brother, be willing to criticize repeatedly.

"No one else can teach you this truth, unless she realizes it herself." Hearing He Ruoyu's words, Jiang Yu shook his head, unceremoniously destroying He Ruoyu's illusions, "Don't think that you have cleared the obstacles now, she will go Then everything will be smooth sailing. To grow, she must go through pain."

Although he didn't want to admit it, He Ruoyu knew in his heart that what Jiang Yu said was true.Even so, he still doesn't want to agree with Jiang Yu, doesn't want to admit that he agrees with Jiang Yu.It seemed that once he agreed with Jiang Yu's statement, it would be a betrayal of his sister and a compromise with Jiang Yu, just like when he was in Suzhou.

Just when he was racking his brains to reply, Jiang Yu chuckled untimely.

Facing He Ruoyu's puzzled and angry eyes, Jiang Yu raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry about it, you should have a good rest first." After saying that, he turned and left.

Even if Jiang Yu said so, He Ruoyu was not the one who could lie down and wait.He put on the silver bracelet, tidied up his appearance, and stepped out the door.It was also a coincidence that as soon as he went out, he met a passing pregnant woman.When the pregnant woman saw He Ruoyu, she bowed low and saluted.He Ruoyu hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Sister Yun'er, you are pregnant, so there is no need to be polite."

Yun'er is also a careful girl, she quickly noticed the bandage on He Ruoyu's ankle, and asked, "Since Shengzi was injured, why didn't he take a rest and go out?"

He Ruoyu didn't take it seriously: "Small injuries, as long as you don't rub the wounds, you can move freely. I have been away from home for a few days, and I am coming back today. I want to meet the clan mother." He was wearing shoes and socks before, and every step he took could move freely. Taste the heart-wrenching pain, and now that the soles of my feet are on the familiar land, the pain is naturally gone.

"Holy Son is really filial." Yun'er smiled, nodded and left.He Ruoyu also raised his head, took a breath of the familiar air of his hometown, and walked towards the small building where the clan mother was housed.

Besides, Jiang Yu, who was in a better mood, caught a glimpse of a familiar figure of a woman running away as soon as he went out.He narrowed his eyes and thought, maybe it's a good thing she knows.

After going out, Jiang Yu strolled on the village street, casually browsing the small buildings on both sides of the street, feeling particularly at ease.Although the 'communication' with He Ruoyu was not pleasant, it made Jiang Yu breathe a sigh of relief.He found that this Teng Qiruoyu was still the little man he knew in Suzhou who could argue with anyone he met.

That was enough to put a smile on his lips.

"Master Jiang seems to have met something happy."

It was Teng Qisinai who had met in Suzhou who was walking towards him.See her wearing complicated silver ornaments, shining in the sun.
