(I went to the countryside yesterday, and there was no Internet, so I didn’t upload it. Sorry, please click, collect, and recommend.)

"Zong Kun, did Zong Rui really say these words?"

"Dad, it's absolutely true. I told him to come to the enclosure right away, but he didn't care. He didn't take you and your second uncle seriously, nor did he take the clan seriously. I told him to abide by the clan.

He also taught me a lesson..."

Wu Shunfu looked at Wu Shunnian sitting at the bottom and narrowed his eyes.

Everything was originally planned, and Wu Zongrui was sent to Hanming Temple to become a monk. Unexpectedly, Wu Zongrui returned home in just three months without being tonsured. If he hadn't just heard the news from his clan, he would have gone home.

Wu Shunfu didn't believe it at all.

"Zong Kun, you have to tell the truth. If there are any untruths, I will use family methods."

A look of fear flashed in Wu Zongkun's eyes, and it disappeared briefly.

Wu Shunnian, who was sitting at the bottom, caught this look, but he quickly lowered his eyes.

"Dad, second uncle, what I said is all the truth."

Wu Shunfu didn't notice Wu Zongkun's expression. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wu Shunnian.

"Zong Kun, you go down first and wait for Zong Rui outside. I think he will be here soon after finishing his meal."

After Wu Zongkun left, Wu Shunfu looked at Wu Shunnian and spoke.

"Second brother, Zong Rui suddenly came home and brought back a young man. I think it's a little strange. According to his character, he won't be able to gain a foothold in Hanming Temple."

"Master Jue Yuan, the abbot of Hanming Temple, may be compassionate."

Wu Shunfu nodded, showing a hint of annoyance.

"With the donation of twenty taels of silver, even if Master Jue Yuan is compassionate, he should not let Zong Rui go home. I think Zong Rui either bewitched Master Jue Yuan or escaped back secretly."

"The patriarch will ask Zong Rui later and everything will be clear."

"Forget it, if Zong Rui escapes, then I won't be polite and will send him to the government directly."

"What the patriarch said is that if Zong Rui escapes from Hanming Temple, the patriarch can deal with him according to the clan rules and family methods."

Wu Shunfu stood up, walked a few steps back and forth in the room, and watched Wu Shunnian speak again.

"Zong Kun just went to see Zong Rui. It seems that Zong Rui is still arrogant and unreasonable. This eliminates my worries. After all, Zong Rui has a reputation and the family needs to pay more attention. It's strange to say that Zong Rui is here.

When he was in Hanming Temple, he was confused and acted in extreme ways. Even if Master Jue Yuan has profound magical power, he couldn't completely recover Zong Rui in such a short period of time. I really don't understand."

Wu Shunnian looked at Wu Shunfu but did not speak.

Wu Zongkun came in again and reported respectfully.

"Father, second uncle, and Wu Zongrui are here, and with him are uncle Yao and that boy."

"I know, you can go down..."

"Clan Chief, I think it's better to let Zong Kun stay here and see how we deal with Zong Rui. In this way, Zong Kun can gradually become familiar with how to deal with many matters of the clan, and can assist Zong Lin in the future."

Wu Shunfu thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Okay, Zong Kun, you stand aside and see how your second uncle and I do."

Wu Zongrui, Wu Shunping and Liao Wenru entered the house.

Before Wu Zongrui could speak, Wu Shunfu, who looked serious, spoke.

"Zong Rui, it was the family's decision that you go to Hanming Temple to practice. More than three months ago, you violated the family rules and family rules. If it hadn't been for your status as a Linshan student, the family would have resorted to family law.

Sorry, I didn’t expect that you didn’t practice well in Hanming Temple and actually came home without permission. If you don’t have a reasonable explanation this time, your second uncle and I will not let you go. We will use family methods to deal with it and send you to the county government.

.”

"Your stay or stay is a matter of the Wu family. You brought outsiders into the enclosed house. Could it be that you don't understand the family rules? I have already remembered this for you. I hope you will explain it well...

"

When Wu Shunfu spoke, Wu Zongrui's expression was calm, and Liao Wenru's face did not show much expression. He turned his head curiously and looked around. Only Wu Shungui's body was trembling slightly and his face turned pale.

After Wu Shunfu finished speaking, he looked at Wu Shunping.

"Zong Rui, it is the family's decision to send you to Hanming Temple to practice. The clan leader just said that if you can't explain why you came back to the family this time, then the family will have to use clan rules and laws.

"

"The Wu family has been proud of Anyuan County for many years. The successive patriarchs have worked hard, worked hard, and maintained the family rules. As long as you are a descendant of the Wu family, no matter what kind of fame you have, you must fully protect the Wu family. As a Wu family

The children of our family must understand this truth."

"You should still remember what happened more than three months ago. That time you violated the clan rules. If it hadn't been for the fact that you had the honor of being a member of the clan, the clan leader would have used family law to deal with you and sent you to the county government.

.”

"Okay, I won't say any more and explain why you came back."

Wu Shunfu and Wu Shunnian had finished speaking. From beginning to end, they did not look at Wu Shungui.

"Clan leader, second brother, when Zong Rui just came home, I already taught him a lesson. He just went home to eat, and after eating, he came to the enclosure..."

"Shungui, this is not the place for you to talk..."

Seeing Wu Shunfu speaking to his father like this, Wu Zongrui spoke coldly.

"I don't understand what the patriarch just said. As a member of the Wu family, my father is naturally qualified to speak here. The clan rules clearly stipulate that any member of my Wu family can come here no matter what their appeals are.

Go to the meeting hall and report to the family and clan chief for help. The family and clan chief must give a reasonable explanation according to clan rules."

"Second uncle also said just now that our Wu family has continued for so many years and has stood proudly in Anyuan County because the people in the family strictly follow the clan rules, including the clan leader. On the contrary, as the head of the clan,

What’s more, we must set a good example, lead the whole family, and make unremitting efforts to revitalize our Wu family.”

"The patriarch just forbade my father to speak, which was against the clan rules. Could it be that the clan leader wanted to ignore the clan rules and put himself above the entire family."

After Wu Zongrui finished speaking, the meeting hall fell silent instantly.

Wu Shunfu and Wu Shunping looked at Wu Zongrui, with shock written all over their faces.

Wu Shungui's body was still trembling, and his face became even paler.

Wu Zongkun, who was standing aside, couldn't help but speak.

"Wu Zongrui, this is the family meeting hall. You don't understand the rules and respect your father and second uncle. You roared. I think you can be dealt with according to the family law. Do you think that you can ignore the family rules because you have achieved fame?

Can it be lawless?"

Wu Zongrui turned to look at Wu Zongkun, with a disdainful smile on his face.

"Wu Zongkun, what you just said makes me feel ridiculous. You think that this family's meeting hall is just like your home, where you can come and go freely. The rules of the Wu family can be distorted by you, and you can turn your hands for clouds and turn your hands for others.

Yu, can you make the decision of the Wu family on behalf of the clan leader?"

Wu Zongrui just finished speaking, Wu Shunfu looked at Wu Zongkun, his face turned slightly red and spoke.

"Zong Kun, don't talk nonsense, retreat..."

Wu Zongkun left in dejection, and the meeting hall fell into silence again.

Wu Shungui was already a little unsteady on his feet and his body was swaying. Liao Wenru, who was beside him, had quick eyes and quick hands and stretched out his hand to support him.

"Zong Rui, don't say any more, and quickly admit your mistake to the patriarch and second uncle..."

"Father, this is the family's meeting hall. It is a place for talking. It is said that you can travel all over the world with reason. You can tell me what your father wants. If you are shrinking and do not dare to insist on it, just tolerate it and admit your mistakes. On the surface,

It is to maintain the unity of the family, but it actually harms the interests of the Wu family. If things go on like this, our Wu family will definitely be indifferent to right from wrong and will be taken advantage of by those who are young. At that time, our Wu family will fall into the abyss of eternal destruction."

Probably because he saw Wu Zongrui's tough attitude and reasonable words, Wu Shungui's expression improved a little.

Wu Shunfu's expression changed several times, and it took a while before he spoke.

"Zong Rui, you are a scholar and have a great reputation. You should not speak in alarmist ways or bring harm to our Wu family."

"Clan leader, the rules of the Wu family, I know that everything I just said is in line with the requirements of the rules. If there is anything wrong with what I said, the patriarch can point it out. Besides, I participated

In the county examination, government examination and court examination, I am already a member of the Linshan School and have a good reputation. I must not only abide by the rules of the Wu family, but also abide by the etiquette of the court. If I behave erratically, it will damage the etiquette and taint the scholars.

According to the provisions of the "Da Ming Law", one must first accept punishment from the court, and then bear the family law. Just now the patriarch said that I want to bring the Wu family to a disadvantage, so he asked the patriarch to tell me what I did.

Things that harmed the interests of the Wu family, what words were said that harmed the rules of the Wu family..."

Wu Shunfu's face turned slightly pale. He looked at Wu Zongrui and didn't know what to say for a while.

A glimmer of light flashed in Wu Shunnian's eyes, and he looked at Wu Zongrui and spoke.

"Zong Rui, what we just said is just a matter of fact. The clan leader also reminded you that despite your fame, you must always safeguard the interests of the Wu family. I won't say much else. Before March, the family will send you to

You practiced in Hanming Temple, and now you have returned to the family. I hope you can explain the reason."

"What is the identity of the young man next to you? He actually entered the meeting hall of my Wu family. Please give me an explanation."

...

Wu Zongrui looked at Wu Shunnian, and he suddenly realized that he had overlooked something.

Returning home from Hanming Temple this time, Wu Zongrui thought of the patriarch Wu Shunfu. Among the many memories he received, Wu Shunfu had the most profound impression. As for Wu Shunnian, although he had some impressions, they were not very deep. Today's contact

Later I discovered that in comparison, this Wu Shunnian was probably even more powerful.

At least Wu Shunnian's ability is not weaker than Wu Shunfu's, why would he willingly follow Wu Shunfu's arrangements?

Heirs, these two words suddenly popped up in Wu Zongrui's mind. Wu Shunfu had five sons, two legitimate sons and three concubine sons, but Wu Shunnian only had one son, and he was unsatisfactory.
