On a May day, I rushed in the afternoon to find sin.

The group entered Dujia Village sweaty, and Du's father didn't enter the door, and went straight to the ancestral hall with his eldest son. When the two arrived, there were already a lot of people sitting inside, and several six or seven-year-old boys were running back and forth serving tea and water. A few gray-haired clan elders sat on the throne, and Li Zheng just sat at the end and said something.

Seeing this posture, Father Du directly dragged his eldest son to sit on his own small stool.

This kind of posture Du Daddy has only seen once in his life, five years ago, when the most prominent official of the Du family successfully changed from a nine-grade sesame official to a seven-grade official, there was a grand opening of the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.

The Du clan people are the big surname of Shanshui County before the establishment of the North-South Grand Canal, and after the establishment of the North-South Grand Canal, it is because of the good living conditions and the improvement of the fertility level.

Several Du villages usually open their own ancestral halls for the New Year's Festival, and all of them return to the ancestral hall to mean that something big has definitely happened.

The two white-haired old men sitting on the right seat are the most respected people in the Du clan today, and the one wearing a gray cloth short coat on the left is the seventh master of the Dujia Village, who is also the elder of the Dujia Village, who is eighty-three years old. The third grandfather knew that his qualifications were limited and there was no way to take the imperial examination, so he opened a clan study in Dujia Village to teach the younger generations of the Du family. Du Shi's current juniors who are officials outside are all enlightened by the third grandfather.

After waiting for half an hour, everyone who could come came.

The gate of the outer courtyard of the ancestral hall closed with a bang, and a family ushered in a new era.

The crutches in the hand of the Seventh Master lightly pestle the ground, and the entire ancestral hall suddenly quieted down: "Call you over today, depending on the situation, you also know that something big has happened." Speaking of two things, the first is the matter of conscription. The children of Du Cheng's family fought for Dujia Village, not bad! The county magistrate said that this time he would not be exempted from forced labor, and each family would be subsidized with one tael of silver, and Du Cheng's family and a few of us discussed giving five taels.

When the Seventh Master's words fell, the people below couldn't help but cheer.

"Seventh Master, do you really give silver?"

A tael of silver will last for months.

The Seventh Master knocked on the crutches and said with a smile: "Look at your monkey anxiousness, let the uncles see the joke!" ”

Sitting in the lower hand, they smiled busily, indicating that they were envious.

Although they are all from the Du clan, after all, they have been divided into several villages, and the matter of subsidizing silver is naturally only available in Dujia Village, and not in other villages. The Seventh Master didn't want to say too much about the matter of silver.

"This second, Master Xile found a mountain waterway leading to the mountain plain, the saint has decided to dig this waterway, the place where the mountain waterway joins the north-south Grand Canal is in our Shanshui County, this year's labor is advanced, and the first batch will pass in ten days, everyone take advantage of these days to decide on a good candidate and pack up their things."

The seventh grandfather's words fell, and the third grandfather directly picked up Mr.'s shelf, and began to train people with a straight face: "You also know what our Shanshui County has prospered on, and the significance of connecting the mountains and plains this time is important, you go there to show yourself well, work hard, and repair the waterway as soon as possible, and the children and grandchildren of our Du family will follow in the future." The county magistrate said that this time every village will send people, our Du family is a family when they go out, and they must unite and help each other outside, don't be bullied! ”

Everyone nodded obediently one by one, no matter how fierce the trouble in the village is, we will not go out and embarrass the clan.

After several grandfather-level figures lectured one by one, they left the stage on crutches. Li of the few Du villages, who was left behind, was discussing with everyone the specific matters of building a waterway in the mountains.

Women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and sat in twos and threes under the old jujube tree not far away to work. Seeing that his men came out one by one, he ran up to wipe his sweat and handed out water, and asked what happened by the way, but after a few words, the whole village knew that the money was going to be paid, and Dujia Village was full of joy for a while.

Daddy Du is a fat paper, and the fat paper will still drip hot even under the shade of the tree, so Daddy Du left his eldest son in the ancestral hall to line up to receive the silver, and went home with a big pu fan.

Du Dalang wiped the sweat on his head, strong men are also afraid of heat!

Dad, you left me the fan!

The crowd slowly moved forward, and the sudden shrill female voice frightened everyone's hearts.

"Holy God! Why don't I have any money? My family is not surnamed Du? Or was he kicked out? Why do other people have it but mine doesn't?

Seventh Master! Three grandpa! Five grandma! Come out and see! Someone is bullying us! ”

The chubby middle-aged woman rolled and howled, and the onlookers saw who it was, and they all scolded in unison.

Du Hai is a man who went out in Dujia Village, and when he was young, he worked as a shopkeeper in Fucheng Restaurant. When I got old, I went back to my hometown, and whoever had a happy event loved to find Mr. Du Hai to keep accounts, and this time he was entrusted to preside over the money.

After Du Hai finished writing the name of the previous person, he glanced at Wang Yan and said lightly: "Don't get in the way, the next one!" ”

Wang Yan was still sitting at the front of the team, and shouted loudly when she heard the words: "The county order to give money is obviously given according to the account, but now that there is no us, are you greedy Du Hai?" ”

"Huh!" Du Hai dialed the abacus, "See clearly, I am your uncle, but you are the same as the seventh grandfather and the third grandfather, and you call me Du Hai." I don't say anything about your Wang family's tutor, and you don't make trouble in front of me, it's not me who has your family or your family, I'm just a doer. Brother Yuan went to call Li Zheng over. ”

Du Siyuan is the youngest grandson of the old man Du Hai, who usually accumulates experience by the old man's side, and it is said that he will be sent to Fucheng in a few years. Children under the age of ten are adjusted and trained very cleverly.

"Hey, grandpa, I'll go!"

Seeing that Du Siyuan was looking for Li Zheng, Wang Yan's man Du Chengcai didn't dare to watch from the side. "Rich brother, let's go back!" If he continues to make trouble like this, he will be trained by Li Zheng again.

"You give me a side!!"

Wang Yan slapped Du Chengcai away, and then howled: "One or two silver!" That's a tael of silver! How long will it take for our family to save without eating or drinking, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the rich brother, he hasn't eaten meat for a long time! Seeing that the man stopped talking, Wang Yan's target shifted to Old Man Du Hai again. But Old Man Du Hai didn't look at her, Wang Yan stood directly in front of the table and didn't move. I thought to myself, I can't get the money, and you don't want it!

At this end, Du Siyuan hurriedly ran towards the courtyard of Lizheng's house.

"Is Uncle Rizheng at home?"

The Tang family was cooking dinner for the old men in the house, and the elders of several other villages, Li Zheng had to travel a long way back to the village, and her mother-in-law asked her to hurry up and make the meal, so that it would be dark when the elders went back.

"Brother Yuan, why are you here? The justice is discussing things with the masters, and he will wait if there is no big deal. Tang patted the water on his hands and said with a smile.

"Yikes! Big urgency! The ancestral hall is in trouble! Grandpa asked me to call Grandpa Lizheng! ”

The ancestral hall is the most majestic place in a family, and when the Tang family heard that it was about the ancestral hall, where did they dare to stop it, "You wait!" After saying that, he ran directly to the backyard and called her husband, who was plucking chicken feathers, over.
