Chapter 1707: Proud of the Clan
Many juniors in the clan are there, and several of Bai Ruozhu's cousins and cousins have been looking at her curiously, this kind of scrutiny is not an impolite look or scrutiny, but with some reverence and inquiry, and even some eagerness. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Bai Ruozhu was furious in his heart, but he felt that it seemed to be nothing, until Bai Lu asked them to be busy, Bai Ruozhu thought about why he felt that kind of gaze was a little familiar.
It's like seeing the adoring gaze of fans in the face of idols in his previous life, thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu suddenly felt a little proud in his heart, who doesn't want to be respected?
But soon she felt embarrassed, she didn't have any ability, but she had the advantage of crossing, where was it worthy of such worship by the clansmen?
"Ruozhu girl, you don't look very good, don't you have something hidden in your heart?" Bai Lu suddenly asked.
Bai Ruozhu smiled bitterly, and saw that there were only older and stable people in the house, so he lowered his voice and said: "King Jingli Rui rebelled, bribed the Janissaries to rebel, and assassinated the emperor at the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the empress dowager sacrificed herself to block the arrows, buying time for the emperor to escape, and now the emperor has moved to Beiyu City." ”
"What!" Bai Lu jumped up suddenly, and the other people were also trembling in fright.
Fortunately, Bai Lu was also a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, so he quickly sat down again, lowered his voice and said, "So Xiao Jiang didn't come back with you?"
Bai Ruozhu nodded, "He received the emperor's will halfway and went to the southwest camp." ”
She didn't want to deceive the patriarch and grandfather, but for the safety of the clansmen and unnecessary risks, it was better to say what Jiang Yichun had explained.
Bai Lu was silent for a long time, and then said with red eyes: "This world is going to be chaotic, and we ordinary people are the ones who suffer in the end." ”
For a while, the room was shrouded in a sad atmosphere, who said that the emperor of the sky was far away, and now the Wuning Emperor Tang Yin was not in the north corner of the city? There is also an important place in the northwest, and I don't know what will happen in the future.
After a while, Bai Ruozhu spoke again: "Patriarch Grandpa, I have discussed with my family that I have donated all my family property to the court to help the emperor recover power. The money can be made again, but the next year and a half will be in chaos, and the business may not be too good, and my family's money for the clan study may be somewhat reduced. ”
In fact, she was quite embarrassed to say this, because at first she took the initiative to say that she was funding the clan, but now she said that she would reduce it without much funding, which seems that she is not trustworthy.
"When the business is good, the family has accumulated money, and this subsidy is still according to the old rules, and I estimate that it will affect a year and a half at most. Bai Ruozhu added.
Bai Yihong also rubbed his hands embarrassedly, "Second uncle, I'm really sorry." ”
Bai Lu's eyes widened suddenly, "What are you talking about!"
Bai Ruozhu was stunned, the patriarch grandfather was angry? This is not like the patriarch grandfather she knew.
"We are a family, you can donate your family property to the imperial court, our Bai clan is too late to be proud, can we blame you for this? Besides, you are a kind of affection in the family, but you don't sponsor it, and we only have gratitude, and there is no reason to blame you. And the clan has been working hard this year, and they have also gained a lot, you can rest assured, our Bai family is working hard, and the ancestral hall was renovated a while ago, and it will not always be funded by your family when it is slowly on the right track in the future. Bai Lu said.
Oh, it turned out that people complained that Bai Ruozhu's family was too polite.
"Yes, Yihong, don't worry, the clan science can operate normally now, but you are really willing to do it, and even the five bodies that you admire have thrown themselves to the ground. Bai Lu's cousin Bai Zhanfu gave a thumbs up and praised.
Bai Yihong was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "I can't imagine that these righteous deeds were mentioned by Ruozhu girl, she said that only if there is a country can there be a home, if the country is turbulent, we people will not be able to live in peace, and the emperor and the queen mother have the grace of knowing Ruozhu and uncle, and this friendship should also be sent at this time." ”
A room full of people have said that only when there is a country can there be a home, and if they are all confined to their own small homes, the world can only go on in chaos.
Everyone talked for a while, and Bai Lu's eldest daughter-in-law came in and said that it was time to set up lunch, and everyone stopped talking.
After eating, Bai Lu asked Bai Zeji to take Bai Ruozhu to the clan study to have a look, and also looked at the fields purchased by the clan, Bai Ruozhu couldn't help nodding, I have to say that the patriarch's grandfather led the clan very well, and the clan study was also done decently, not only for the benefit of the Bai family, but also for the benefit of the children of Maple Leaf Village and nearby villages can come to school, which can be regarded as a benefit.
Therefore, when Bai Ruozhu followed Bai Zeji around the village, many people were very enthusiastic and respectful to the Bai family, and the Bai family began to have some reputation in Shili Eight Village.
Bai Ruozhu didn't care about those false names, but for a big family to really prosper, many times it started with the rise of these reputations.
That night, Bai Ruozhu's family lived in Bai Lu's house, and the courtyard of Bai Lu's house was also expanded by a few rooms, and they lived in it was not as crowded as before, and the room was lit with a brazier at night, although it was not as warm as Dilong, but it was also extremely rare in the countryside.
Early the next morning, Bai Ruozhu's family went to the main hall for breakfast, they originally planned to leave after lunch, but after the meal, Bai Lu took out a wooden box and handed it to her.
"This is?" Bai Ruozhu was a little puzzled and held the wooden box.
Bai Lu laughed and said: "Before, you gave our clan study funding, and after the clan study was established, I purchased the rest of the money to buy the fields, these fields are the wealth of our clan, I thought that instead of putting the silver, it is better to find a way to make the silver produce silver, that is, the annual harvest of the fields in the future will be enough for the operation of our clan science." ”
Bai Ruozhu nodded, "What the patriarch grandfather said is very true, so that the clan can develop better." ”
"And I have considered what you said before, to let the juniors do what suits them, like Zeji is suitable for studying, and now he is a child, although the situation is turbulent now, but there will always be a time to open the imperial examination again, I believe he can at least take the exam. In addition, your cousin Zebo is not a material for reading, but he is good at accounting and his head is flexible enough, and now he has learned to do business with the boss of the commercial house in the town, and there will be talents in our clan who will manage business in the future. ”
She had already opened the wooden box at this time, and found that it was actually some silver taels and a few silver tickets, although it was not much, but it was enough for the clan to operate for two or three years.
"Patriarch Grandpa, I can't accept this!" she hurriedly pushed the box back, but Bai Lu glared at her and said, "Why are you allowed to do your best for the country, but we are not allowed to do our best? Could it be that you still look down on us for this little bit of silver?"
"I discussed with you last night, these are all voluntarily taken out by each family, everyone means that silver can be earned again, this heart must be done, I don't care if you give it to the court, or buy grain, grass, medicinal materials and donate, anyway, it will be used by the court. Bai Lu pushed the box to her.
Bai Ruozhu didn't push it anymore, but her heart was full of pride, she was very grateful to God for arranging such a clan for her father, although their family was not related to the Bai clan here, but she was proud of these clansmen in her heart!
