Zheng Yue'e sighed: "What can I say? Even Erlang knelt down before Third Uncle, but they refused to get up. If it weren't for the fact that my temper has improved over the years, I would have to scold others."
Chen Yu smiled: "You can't scold. It will definitely damage our Yue'e's reputation. Come on, let's go out and have a look."
Zheng Yue'e was worried, but the matter involving the Su family was a big deal, and she didn't dare to make her own decision no matter how unwilling she was.
At the gate, Chen Yu saw Su Erlang kneeling towards Su Cheng and a large group of men, women and children kneeling behind Su Cheng, and he understood immediately.
"What can't you say properly? Are you taking advantage of the large number of people to force you to come?" Chen Yu's tone was not harsh, but the words were not taken lightly.
Su Cheng's old face turned red: "Second sister-in-law, it was my idea, not because of the large number of people, but because everyone thought so. Our Su family cannot afford not to be a family member, and there is no one who is suitable for the clan leader. Anyway, we all think that you are the most suitable one."
Already."
"Sancheng, aren't you confused? Where in the world can a woman be the leader of a clan and be in charge of an ancestral hall? Let outsiders laugh at me for not having a man in the Su family? Get up!" Chen Yu's face darkened.
Although I can understand the mood of these people, Mu Qiang.
But if he really became the patriarch of the Su family, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?
Among the rules left by our ancestors, only the ancestral hall cannot be broken. Officials and businessmen outside the Su family cannot let others laugh behind their backs.
Su Cheng still dared to kneel. He got up and looked back. Everyone stood up.
Chen Yu looked around at everyone: "No woman can decide the affairs of the ancestral hall. Since everyone is here, I will leave my words here and don't think about it. In my eyes, the sons of the Su family are not weak, and no one is weak."
It’s good.”
After a pause, he said: "Of course, the clan leader is related to the clan. This is a major matter for our Su family. Let me make a suggestion. The elders should choose one person to be the clan leader, and then nominate a person with good moral character to convince everyone as the clan elder.
Major matters should not be discussed in public. After the clan leader and clan elders discuss the charter, everyone will express their position. If everyone agrees, then it will be settled. If there is anything inappropriate, just raise it. In the family, everyone has a share and everyone has something.
responsibility."
Zheng Yue'e felt relieved at once, "This is a good idea!"
Su Dexin bowed: "We are all willing to let Su Cheng be the leader of the clan."
Seeing that Su Cheng was about to speak, Chen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "I think that's okay, Su Cheng is the eldest person in the direct lineage. Firstly, everyone will give face to the direct lineage. Secondly, the priorities are clear, so it can be brought along with everyone."
Let's live a good life, but Su Cheng can't do it alone. You guys should go to the ancestral hall to discuss it. But I have to say one thing, do the women of our Su family have a say? No one should let me see the disharmony in the family.
, the mother-in-law bullies the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law hates the aunt, the Su family just doesn’t favor sons over daughters."
These people were divided into two groups, the men went to the ancestral hall, and the women went home.
Min Yuchan was so anxious that she rubbed her hands together and followed Chen Yu back: "Second sister-in-law, what kind of temper can Sancheng have? You don't know that taking control of the caravan will reveal all the savagery in your bones."
Here you are, it would be embarrassing if you become the leader of the clan and you can’t fight with others one day.”
Chen Yu smiled and glanced at Min Yuchan: "Look at your achievements, how can you be a man without any blood? Besides, Sancheng is the eldest male in our family, so you are suitable to be the patriarch.
I also keep my heart in my heart, the person who can mess up the Su family has not been born yet. If a traitor really comes out one day, someone will be able to crush his spine with just a finger!"
Min Yuchan looked at Chen Yu in astonishment: "What does second sister-in-law mean?"
"Look at how Qianxiu and Shao Li are doing in our family. In the future, the clan leader will have some talent, but they are still young." Chen Yu sat down and said, "You haven't had breakfast, right?"
Min Yuchan sighed: "It's not that good. I even got angry with Sancheng. He was very stubborn and told me that the position of the patriarch of the Su family must be in the hands of his direct descendants. Now, it's in his hands."
It’s in.”
"Okay, let's have dinner with the second sister-in-law." Chen Yu asked Xunmei to buy a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Min Yuchan sat next to her, looking at the porridge and side dishes, then looked up at Chen Yu: "Second sister-in-law, who can believe it? Your food and drink are too simple, right?"
"Don't underestimate this porridge and side dishes. Madam Leng has put a lot of thought into it. Try it." Chen Yu picked up the bowl and took a sip before saying: "No matter how good our family's life is, in fact, it is everyone's turn."
As far as I'm concerned, I only have three meals a day, so I'm satisfied."
Min Yuchan smiled: "So, how do people outside know that the man who made the Su family live a good life can eat so simply."
The two sisters don't see each other as much as before, but a bowl of porridge makes the two of them feel much closer.
"Looking back, Sancheng doesn't have to drive the convoy all over the country. The two Zhou brothers can carry it. The six sons have also grown up a lot. There is nothing else over there at the ancestral hall. Spring plowing and autumn harvest are a school for the children.
, once these are done, our Su family will be a family of farming and studying." Chen Yu said.
Min Yuchan nodded. The second sister-in-law had to go back and tell Sancheng exactly what she said. The second sister-in-law promoted Sancheng, and this matter should not be done wrongly.
After breakfast, Zheng Yue'e accompanied Chen Yu for a walk in the mansion.
This is the first time I have looked at the house so carefully after it was built.
The river water was introduced into the pond, and then entered the underpass, turning the pond into living water, and the koi carps became swarms.
"Didn't the koi run out with the current?" Chen Yu asked Zheng Yuee who was next to him.
Zheng Yue'e smiled: "No, Erlang asked Zhou Dahu to build an iron net. The water is living water, and fish must grow wings if they want to escape."
"Our Erlang is a good family man." Chen Yu tilted his head to look at Zheng Yuee: "He doesn't have the knowledge of Sanlang, nor the strategy of Silang, but he has the calmness of the elder brother."
Zheng Yue'e supported Chen Yu: "Mom, the five fingers are not the same length when they are stretched out. I think Erlang is good. From the day I came here, he has always been humble to me. He is responsible when the family is poor and responsible when the family is rich.
He has responsibility, even though he hasn’t done any great things, but he has taken good care of everything in the house, and both of us are content.”
Chen Yu patted Zheng Yue'e's hand: "If a reward from the imperial court comes one day, will Erlang be able to accept it?"
"That's terrible. Erlang has told me several times in private that he is willing to live with our family. He also hopes that you will stop being busy and is content to stay by your side." Zheng Yuee'e said.
Chen Yu nodded. When it comes to the mutual understanding between husband and wife, no one else can compare.
Once the ship plan is successful, depending on Xiao Qiyu's thoughts, Su Erlang's reward will not be small. But Zheng Yuee'e is right, Su Erlang really can't handle other things.
But there is no need to rush this matter. Erlang's skills cannot be hidden, and they must be revealed when they show up, because his two sons are both powerful.
The bamboo forest was lush, and Su Erlang was busy with a wine jar in the bamboo forest.
"Erlang, what are you doing?" Chen Yu asked.
Su Erlang turned around and smiled: "Mom, my son saved some fruit wine for you in the bamboo. Fu Niang said that mom will like it after drinking it. It's been a year. I took out some for you to try. Yue'e Said you didn't sleep well."
Chen Yu walked to the stone bench next to the bamboo forest and sat down: "That's great, take it and let me have a taste."
