"I don't agree. Jiang Ning is just a relative. How can she be worthy of being the legitimate daughter of my Zhang family!" The old man in black clothes slammed the teacup on the table and said with an angry look on his face: "Master, I'm afraid you are in the family.
If you stay here for too long, your brain may be damaged!"
"You..." The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the main hall said in a low voice, his face blue and red, "Great Elder, are you going too far?"
The old man in black snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Passed?"
"From a public point of view, you are the head of the family, but I am also the elder of the family and have the right to decide family affairs. From a private point of view, you, Zhang Qingshan, want to call me uncle. Why, are you going to do it for a relative?" The old man in black bit the last three words particularly hard.
Obviously, if this matter is not done according to what he said, he will not let it go.
Zhang Qingshan was speechless. The old man in black was right. He, the head of the family, could not decide whether it was public or private matters. However, the Zhangjiang family had a long-standing marriage. If he regretted it,
If word gets out, wouldn't it mean that the Zhang family is snobbish and unfaithful?
He looked at the young man standing in the hall with complicated eyes, his eyebrows forming a knot.
The young man has a tall and straight figure, handsome features, long hair reaching his waist, and is dressed in Tsing Yi. Although his clothes are not gorgeous, the aura he stands there is not inferior to that of any young master from a noble family.
The young man is the person involved in this incident, Jiang Ning, a relative of the Zhang family.
The atmosphere in the main hall was tense, but Jiang Ning, the master, looked like it had nothing to do with him. He was even a little impatient. If it weren't for Zhang Qingshan's sake, he would have gone back to his room to practice. Why would he be here?
Stand and listen to others criticize you.
Seeing Jiang Ning's empty eyes, Zhang Qingshan thought that he felt aggrieved by what he heard. He couldn't bear it and said sternly: "Ning'er, don't worry. My uncle agreed to the marriage, and it is also the ancestral promise of the Zhang family. No one can stop it.
, if you have to stop it, it would be a treason, a violation of the ancestral covenant, and you will be expelled from the family!"
Zhang Qingshan seemed to be telling Jiang Ning, but in fact a pair of tiger eyes remained on the old man in black.
Little did he know that Jiang Ning didn't care at all. He never thought about marrying a girl from the Zhang family.
Hearing this, he cupped his hands and replied: "Uncle, the Jiang family suffered a disaster. Thanks to my uncle for not giving up and taking Jiang Ning in, this is already a great kindness. How dare you expect to be like a dragon and a phoenix? When our ancestors were engaged, please let go and let your ancestors die." "Ning'er, you..." Zhang Qingshan's expression changed slightly, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
He never expected that Jiang Ning would take the initiative to ask for the marriage to be canceled. Didn't he know that if there was no marriage, the Zhang family would not be able to tolerate him sooner or later?
The old man in black didn't expect Jiang Ning to be so understanding. He glanced at Jiang Ning deeply and said in a deep voice: "You are a little self-aware, head of the family. Since he has said that the marriage is over, how can we, as elders, not be successful?"
It’s true, don’t you think?”
Seeing this, other clan elders sneered and agreed.
Zhang Qingshan clenched his teeth and remained silent for a long time.
The elder in black sneered and said: "If the master of the house doesn't say anything, I will just assume that the master of the house has agreed. The marriage is over and there is no need to mention it anymore." As he said that, he stood up tremblingly and walked towards the door before crossing the door.
, he stopped and turned around and said, "Don't forget, the Jiang family is not the Jiang family of the past, and the Zhang family is not the Zhang family of the past."
The other clan elders followed and left, leaving only Zhang Qingshan and Jiang Ning in the main hall.
Jiang Ning understood the last words of the great elder. He just saw that the Jiang family was in decline and could not compete with the current Zhang family...
Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Ning'er, don't take what is going on today to your heart. My uncle will definitely make it happen if he agrees to your marriage. When the Zhang family suffered revenge from their enemies, my father and I went to Feng County to ask for help but had no way. If it weren't for your grandfather and your father, they brought people here.
Without help, where would the Zhang family be today?"
"This is a great favor and must be repaid!"
Zhang Qingshan stood up and walked over, patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder and said.
Jiang Ning raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in his forties with a complicated expression.
In his opinion, everyone in the Zhang family did not want to see him, and only advocated Qingshan to treat him as his own son. But how did he know that this descendant of his benefactor, who he must repay his kindness to, had already been there a few nights ago.
He is already dead.
The Jiang Ning standing in front of him now is Jiang Ning who traveled from China, not the original young master of the Jiang family in Feng County.
"Uncle, there is no need to mention this matter. You have already made the family dissatisfied by taking me in. If you want to force a woman from my direct line to marry me again, then I'm afraid..." Jiang Ning smiled bitterly and said in turn: "I'm afraid a few of them
The clan leader is going to reduce your power."
He wanted to say that he was afraid he was going to die again, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.
Even if he said it, how could he explain that he was still here alive and well, let alone asking Zhang Qingshan to punish the Zhang family for a relative of his? Even if Zhang Qingshan agreed, the Zhang family would not agree.
Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Zhang Qingshan's face became even more angry.
"They dare!"
"These ungrateful white-eyed wolves!"
The Zhang family was in trouble that year, and Zhang Qingshan came out to ask for help. He had seen too much indifference, so he felt deeply about the Jiang family's help. However, other clan members had not experienced it, so they just assumed that the Zhang family had given enough compensation and the Jiang family had taken the money.
Just doing errands.
Now that the Jiang family is in decline, if they can still take Jiang Ning in, they are already benevolent and righteous. If Jiang Ning still wants to eat meat like a toad, then don't blame them for falling out.
Jiang Ning smiled and did not answer.
More than just a white-eyed wolf... what he saw in the memory of the original owner was more humiliation and trampling.
He took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said: "Uncle, calm down, let's let this matter go. Uncle doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Jiang Ning accepts it. If there is nothing else, Jiang Ning will go down first."
After saying that, Jiang Ning took two steps back and prepared to leave.
Seeing Jiang Ning's resolute attitude, Zhang Qingshan clenched his teeth and showed struggle in his eyes.
"Ning'er." Seeing Jiang Ning about to go out, Zhang Qingshan shouted: "You...if you really don't want this marriage, then my uncle will give you a place in the academy this year as compensation!"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ning's body suddenly stiffened.
Academy quota... After coming for a while, Jiang Ning also understood the general situation of this world.
This place is called Jiuzhou Continent. Unlike China, Jiuzhou Continent is full of spiritual energy and there are practitioners walking around the world.
However, becoming a cultivator is not easy. It requires not only qualifications, but also the method of practice. However, the method is not spread outside the world, so if you want to become a cultivator in Kyushu, the best way is to join a sect or a Taoist temple.
But the temples are high and the rivers and lakes are far away. The thresholds of those sects and Taoist temples are frighteningly high. How can a non-rich family fly up a branch and become a phoenix?
As a result, the number of people who worship the mountain gate becomes extremely important.
The Zhang family has a quota because there is an academy in the outskirts of Meng County. It is affiliated to the Shangqing Taoist Academy, one of the four sects of the five academies. There are powerful practitioners in it, and the teachings are all top-notch. As the Zhang family is a big family in Meng County,
Tributes are paid all year round, so every three years there is a quota that can be directly sent to the tribe to practice.
Now that Jiang Ning heard that Zhang Qingshan was going to give him the spot, one can imagine the shock in Jiang Ning's heart.
"Uncle... This is absolutely impossible!" Jiang Ning felt that he was not far from death, so he subconsciously refused, but Zhang Qingshan didn't listen at all, and waved his hand and said: "That's it.
This time, let me see which old guy dares to speak out. Do you really think that I am a tiger cub without claws and claws?"
