Zhu Youning's words attracted a lot of discussion among the people around him, and the sounds came like a tide, and Old Master Zhu frowned.

"Absurdly, you are a little girl, where can you participate in the conference competition? You won't leave! Don't waste time!" Old Master Zhu waved his sleeves and glared at Zhu Huating fiercely, his eyes stabbing someone like a knife, signaling him to take the person away quickly.

Zhu Huating lowered his eyes slightly and avoided Mr. Zhu's gaze and pretended not to see it.

Although the eldest son is useless, he has always been obedient. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhu didn't think that Zhu Huating didn't listen to him now?

The anger surged. If it weren't for the hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him, Mr. Zhu would have been afraid that he would have been cursing out loud.

After some observation, Zhu Youning saw that Mr. Zhu was still very concerned about his face and would not do anything to her in public. He felt confident and said with a more open voice:

"What my grandfather said is wrong! Our Zhu family's ancestral teachings have been passed down to this day. Has it been written on the black and white text that women are not allowed to participate in the competition for the clan conference?"

Mr. Zhu was asked so much that he recalled carefully that Zu Xun really didn't say that women could not participate in the competition.

"Nothing!"

"The granddaughter is not a fool, but she just follows the teachings of the ancestors and wants to contribute to the Zhu family. The granddaughter is young and cannot learn from her cousins ​​as home as her identity. She asked my father more in private. My father is very talented and taught me a lot. Now that my granddaughter has grown up, she also wants to contribute to the family and make contributions."

"Absurd, Zi Chen, why don't you take your daughter back!"

Zhu Huating's name is Zichen.

Previously, Mr. Zhu just looked at him and said that Zhu Huating could still pretend to be invisible.

But now that he is being named in public and does not obey the orders, it is a violation of his father's orders and is unfilial.

Zhu Youning said loudly without waiting for Zhu Huating to move, "Grandfather, you are not following the ancestral teachings! You just said that as a descendant of the Zhu family, you must contribute to the family. Is it because I am a girl, so I am not surnamed Zhu? Moreover, the ancestral teachings did not clearly state that girls are not allowed to participate in the competition. Grandfather, you have preconceived ideas about men being respected and women are not allowed to show off. This is simply unfair!"

The little girl's voice became crisp and crisp when she rose. In addition, she was confident and fluent in her speech. She spoke softly and pleasantly with a slightly southern accent. She looked like a pearl falling from a jade plate, which was extremely beautiful. After hearing this, people didn't realize that she was a child making unreasonable trouble, but she really said it with reason.

Among the crowd, a young man with a duck-voiced voice said, "Miss Jiu is right. It is an open and fair competition. Zu Xun did not say that women were not allowed to participate. Why didn't Miss Jiu contribute to the Zhu family as well?"

Old Master Zhu suppressed his anger and looked in the direction of the duck's voice. He didn't say anything he wanted to scold.

Zhu Youning also looked back in that direction, but this person was Mr. Li, the shirtless young master who gnawed sugarcane two days ago.

Today he wore a robe with a robe with a sleeve of Yunjin arrows, a jade belt on his waist, and a jade hairpin with his hair. His sword eyebrows were very heroic. He didn't look like a "young hero", but he had a bit of a noble son.

Seeing Zhu Youning's opinion, Mr. Li still squeezed his eyes at her.

Mr. Zhu was so angry that his disobedient son and granddaughter were so angry that he took a deep breath to tidy up his mood, and then he showed a friendly smile again. Just as he was about to speak, he ordered someone to take Zhu Youning back, but the prefect Lu spoke first.

"Old Master Zhu." Magistrate Lu said with a smile, "Old Master Zhu won't mind if I make a fuss."

When Mr. Zhu heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Prefecture, this is an honor for my Zhu family."

The prefect Lu said, "I am fortunate to see the Zhu family's clan meeting with my own eyes. After listening to Mr. Zhu's words, I was deeply impressed by the Zhu family's ancestral teachings and the glory of the family. It is rare that this little girl has the courage, courage, and the determination to contribute to the Zhu family. Why don't Mr. Zhu agree?"

The prefect Lu looked at Zhu Youning and saw the little girl tilting her neck and looking at her with her big and bright eyes, her eyes full of admiration. A gust of wind blew, and she had a few disobedient hair on her head, which was combed with "Jiujiu" and raised her head. She looked obedient and soft, which made people feel very soft-hearted.

"I saw that this little girl was beautiful and had a good conversation just now. She was a smart child. The Zhu family really deserves its reputation. All of her children are so outstanding." The prefect Lu looked at the young people behind Mr. Zhu with approval.

These five teenagers are among the top five in the preschool exams a few days ago.

Judging from the position, the first place is Zhu Yanfeng, the cousin who had asked Zhu Youning for love a few days ago, was thirteen years old.

The third place is Zhu Yanlan, the concubine's son of the third uncle's family, who is eleven years old.

The rest are from other old men's rooms.

The youngest one is the legitimate son of the fourth wife in the fourth house of the Fourth Old Master's Mansion, which is the family that persuaded Zhu Youning to adopt, named Zhu Yanping, who is ten years old this year.

The young men received praise from the prefect, and they all bowed humbly.

Mr. Zhu was embarrassed to continue to object when he was praised like this.

The prefect spoke and said so tactfully that if he refused again, he would be ungrateful.

Mr. Zhu politely greeted the prefect Lu, and finally nodded, "Forget it, since the prefect Lu is speaking, Jiu Mei, come to the front and stand with your cousins."

"Yes!" Zhu Youning felt relieved, walked to the front happily, and stood beside Zhu Yanping.

Zhu Yanping was half a head taller than Zhu Youning. When he saw her standing up, he snorted disdainfully.

Zhu Youning didn't mind either, but just looked at Zhu Huating and smiled confidently at him.

Zhu Huating smiled back, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings. His daughter, who was once obedient and silent, was now forced to make a move because of his implication. Zhu Huating's heart was really uncomfortable as if it were cut by a knife.

After greetings with the prefect of Lu, Mr. Zhu invited the prefect of Lu to take his seat, and then turned to the second, third and fourth masters to take his seat one after another. The sons and grandsons of the four old masters also looked for seats behind them.

Old Master Zhu raised his hand and called Zhu Huazhang, the second uncle of Zhu Youning.

"You can host the competition."

"Yes, father." Zhu Huazhang smiled and walked into the open space, and said loudly: "There are three questions in the competition, all of which are rules passed down by ancestors. The general outline of the questions remains unchanged and the content changes. I believe you come to visit every year and know what the questions are, so I won't explain them in detail."

As he said that, he looked at Zhu Huating and secretly disdained him.

He has been expelled from the house and even urged his children to come forward. He doesn't believe that he only knows how to read books. What kind of smart children can an incredibly innocent nerd teach!

Zhu Youning probably doesn’t know what these three questions are about, right?

Zhu Huazhang raised his chin and waved to the servants who had been prepared.

"People come, everything is brought up!"
