Some messy, inexplicable abnormal thoughts, accompanied by time, began to gather in Cheng Jinyang's mind.
Although he wanted to complain, Zheng Qiupei was obviously stubborn at this time, but now he is possessed and has no choice but to hold it up, so he can only endure it in extreme discomfort.
At the same time, he also saw clearly the wrong characteristics of Zheng Qiupei.
Too humble.
This girl is very sensitive to other people's emotional state and attaches great importance to the relationship with her cousin and sister-in-law.
My cousin Zheng Wengong has a pretty good impression of her. After all, she is her cousin in her seniority and has a good personality. My cousin Liu is smiling in front of her face, and she is a model of MMP behind her. She not only has strong hostility towards her, but also often
Fan the flames and exaggerate the words in front of Zheng Wengong.
For example, once the old patriarch inherits Zheng Qiupei and becomes the patriarch in the future, will he not get married? As long as he finds a husband within the Zheng clan, the power of the patriarch will inevitably fall into the hands of her husband.
Zheng Qiupei has no parents or relatives, and his only relative is his cousin Zheng Wengong. In order to control his wife, her future husband won't try every means to squeeze Zheng Wengong's family out of the center of power? Even if you don't consider our future,
We must also consider our children.
Zheng Qiupei must not be adopted by the old patriarch!
Zheng Wengong's attitude was also very swaying. Every time Liu said in his ear, his attitude towards Zheng Qiupei became a little distant; then Zheng Qiupei tried hard to restore the relationship, and he felt guilty again and changed his attitude again.
Perhaps this is the reason, which made Zheng Qiupei keep trying to please his cousin and his family, so that he could not stand Cheng Jinyang.
For example, Zheng Qiupei likes to do work with the maids at home, wash clothes, cook, clean up the garbage and clean the sanitation, which made Liu privately complain about "the appearance of a young lady". Zheng Wengong was very pleased, thinking that "she has this."
His mind is very sensible," which made Liu so angry that he rolled his eyes.
Of course, no matter how capable a person can do it, he will not be able to bear all the maid's work. So Zheng Qiupei spontaneously became the headmaid and often told the maids in detail about the living habits of Mr. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng, and how to take care of him and serve him.
They are a family.
This made Liu even more disgusted. When Zheng Wengong's second son was full moon, relatives came to visit him for the full moon wine. Liu slowly came to the kitchen door and saw Zheng Qiupei talking to the maids about dinner:
"... My sister-in-law just recovered after giving birth. Her diet is still light, with more fruits and less meat, which will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines..."
"Little Pei!" Liu grabbed the door frame and shouted exaggeratedly, tremblingly trying to pull her out of the kitchen, and said with a smile, "What are you busy with in the kitchen? Are you guiding the maids again? Don't be careful?
These trivial matters are coming, and relatives are waiting outside to talk to you!”
So the attention of relatives outside is attracted. In any case, a young lady who is obsessed with family care can easily leave people with the stereotype of "unintentional cultivation", which is a negative evaluation in the aristocratic family - after all, only tribe members who are not talented
Only then will I be keen on housework and clan affairs (for example, Sister Yuexian).
"Sister-in-law." Zheng Qiupei bit his lower lip. Through the perception of possession, Cheng Jinyang knew that she had completely understood the intention of Liu's words. However, at this time, Miss Pei did not have any resentment or disgust, but was only full of grievance.
And sad.
She wanted to defend herself, but she didn't want to anger her sister-in-law, so she could only nod her head silently, cover her face and hold back her tears and walk out.
After leaving the house, Zheng Qiupei walked alone in the clan field, and unknowingly came to the clan leader's office.
Uncle Zheng Junming usually works here, but occasionally returns to his son and daughter-in-law's house to live. Seeing Zheng Qiupei knocking in and coming in with a sad expression on his face, he was a little puzzled and confused.
"What's wrong, Xiao Pei?" Zheng Junming signaled her to sit down first.
However, Zheng Qiupei refused to say anything and just shook his head.
After about ten minutes, she whispered:
"uncle."
"Um?"
"I don't want to compete with my cousin for the position of the patriarch's heir." Zheng Qiupei whispered.
Zheng Junming's brows frowned.
He did mean to let Zheng Qiupei adopt it to his name, but that was just a preliminary idea. Who went to Zheng Qiupei to gossip?
"Xiao Pei." Zheng Junming picked up a piece of information and said slowly, "You can take it to take a look first."
Zheng Qiupei took it silently, looked carefully, and then showed a somewhat surprised expression.
This document shows that Zheng Wengong's second son, who was born, has excellent bloodline talent for genealogy identification, and is also a guaranteed fourth-grade sprint third-grade. The probability of entering third-grade is as high as 35%, which is only 20% lower than himself.
.
"Uncle, what do you mean?" Zheng Qiupei asked softly.
"I'm still thinking." Zheng Junming put his hands on the table and said in a deep voice, "My grandson, Dehui... He has the potential to sprint for the third grade like you, so he has the qualification to become the heir of the patriarch.
”
"But your probability of entering the third grade is 20% higher than his. This is a considerable number. Although the genealogy identification may not be accurate, the actual result will not be known until you are forty years old, but the patriarch will be the leader.
It is impossible for the heir to wait until thirty years later to establish it. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Zheng Qiupei bit his lower lip, "If you are still thinking about choosing one from me and him, then I am willing to quit."
"You..." Zheng Junming was a little speechless and said after a while, "Do you don't want to adopt me?"
"No." Zheng Qiupei shook his head and said, "Uncle treats me well. I am grateful to you if I have reborn parents."
"Then are you worried about Wen Gong's attitude towards you?" Zheng Junming frowned again.
"I don't want my cousin's family to have a grudge against me because of this incident." Zheng Qiupei said bitterly, "I don't want to be this patriarch either."
"You have to understand what you gave up." Zheng Junming sighed and said, "If I established Dehui as his heir, you would not have a higher blood talent than him, and it was as much as 20%. Do you understand?
?This will arouse unnecessary thoughts and ambitions of some tribe members."
"If you choose to give up your heir position, then your external genealogy appraisal results must be modified, at least one level will be reduced to five and four, and you will not reach the third grade... And this will undoubtedly seriously affect your family.
The reputation, status and treatment in it will be unless you are really promoted to the third rank after you are forty. Are you really willing to give up what you deserve?”
"Uncle." Zheng Qiupei said seriously, "Do you think these are more important than family?"
Zheng Junming was aphasia for a moment.
After a while, he held his forehead weakly and waved weakly with his other hand, indicating that she could leave.
Zheng Qiupei walked out of the clan leader's office in silence, came to the window by the corridor, and looked at the sunset gradually falling in the distance.
"I did it right." She said to herself.
"I don't have many relatives, and I don't want them to hate me."
"What do you think?" She suddenly looked at the half of the window that was open on the side.
The reflected figure on the pane glass reveals Cheng Jinyang's face.
