The errand has been decided, the friendship banquet has also been held, and Liu's mother, Uncle Kui and others began to prepare for the three Shujie brothers and sisters to "return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors". The emperor not only granted Shujie a month's vacation according to the usual regulations, but also assigned a ceremonial official from the Ministry of Rites to preside over the ceremony, and he would return to his hometown with Shujie at that time.

Although the emperor is not interested in the Xia family, he loves Shujie as a talent, and thanks Donnie Yen for completely curing the queen mother's thirst, as well as the wonderful medicine that the Shujie brothers and sisters dedicated to him and the queen...... In addition, now Xia Linxuan is still helping Jin Xida on the southwest border.

The news that Xia Shujie, the champion of civil and military affairs, returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors spread throughout Yulin County, and Yulin and the surrounding counties were a sensation. Sanyuan and the first, civil and military double champions, such a world-class talent actually appeared in their small county, blessed land, really blessed land!

The hands and feet of the Xia family patriarch and several clan elders trembled with excitement, their mouths were not good, and they almost didn't look up to the sky and laugh, the Xia family is finally going to be revived again!

The patriarch was about to send his grandson to the Xia Mansion to confirm with Hongmei, but Hongmei brought Uncle Rong, the chief steward of the Xia Mansion, to the door, Uncle Rong has been assisting Uncle Kui in taking care of foreign affairs, and this time he specially brought two people to Yulin to fight the outpost first, and assisted the patriarch and others in arranging the preparations for opening the ancestral shrine and worshipping the ancestors.

Uncle Rong brought Shujie's letter to the patriarch, as well as three thousand taels of silver tickets, saying that Shujie's three brothers and sisters sent them back to repair the temple and run the school.

Hongmei asked the fifth grandfather and other clan elders who were not present to come over. Many clansmen heard that Shujie had sent people from Beijing to send money to repair the temple, and they also came over to watch and join in the fun.

Uncle Rong, the chief steward, spoke and saluted very aura: "The eldest young master of our family said that these silver are entrusted to the fifth grandfather to collect, and the patriarch and the clan elders will arrange for use. Today's imperial court promotes frugality. Our Xia family is not a big family. The ancestral hall does not need to be built too luxuriously. Most of the remaining money was used to re-establish the ethnology. In order to revitalize the family, the most important thing is to cultivate the children of the family. In addition to repairing the house of the patriarch, buying tables, chairs, and other things, and buying some fertile fields, the production of the fertile fields will be used to pay for the expenses of the husband and the daily expenses of the patriarchy.

The eldest young master also said that repairing the ancestral hall and running a clan school are major matters for the whole clan, and every family should bear it according to their ability. If the Xia family wants to revitalize, it can't just rely on the three young masters and girls in our family. He also asked the patriarch to arrange for a person to be responsible for the accounts of the income and expenditure of the clan school. It is easy for the clansmen to see, so as to avoid grievances and criticism. ”

The patriarch was slightly stunned, and quickly responded: "That's natural, Brother Jie and their branch only have three children, and now that they have just stood up, they can think about the major events of cultivating the ancestral hall and revitalizing the clan study, which is really rare." The old man is ashamed to be the patriarch, but he can't do anything over the years, which is really worrying. Now that Brother Jie has taken the lead, the old man's family cannot be left behind. Just give a thousand taels. ”

Before the patriarch's father, the old patriarch, passed away, he wanted to give five hundred taels of silver to the shaky and closing. At that time, the patriarch's family was all against it, and it was difficult to support it alone, and five hundred taels of silver could save it for a while, but it couldn't last long. Now Shujie took the lead in donating three thousand taels, and also put forward a good idea of buying a field to raise a family to learn, the patriarch naturally thought about his father's last wish, and added another five hundred.

The fifth grandfather also said: "Our family pays five hundred taels." ”

Several clan elders present and clansmen with better family conditions all responded more or less, and the patriarch assigned a child from a poor clan who had just passed the examination to be responsible for keeping accounts, saying that the good clan would give him half a tael of silver every month.

Uncle Rong and Aunt Mei looked at each other and smiled, nodding secretly, the Xia family, especially the patriarch and several clan elders in charge, are still reasonable and reasonable, and they are not in vain for the hard work of the young master and the girl. When the family is big, there are all kinds of people, and the key is the backbone of the family and the attitude of the talker.

Xia Linang, who had just arrived when he heard the sound, pouted: "I heard that their tofu shop and what dim sum shop are doing very well, and now they are the champions of civil and military affairs." Since you want to repay the clan, you have to bear it with all your might, and you have to let everyone come out, what is it? ”

The fifth grandfather said coldly: "When you were still in the Hou Mansion, you were in the limelight, and I never saw you generous, when did you ever take out three thousand taels once?" Speaking of which, there have been no three thousand taels in so many years, right? Take three hundred taels and be proud in front of the clansmen. ”

The other clansman also glanced at Xia Linang with contempt: "Isn't it? Brother Jie has not touched the slightest benefit of the clan, and if you want to repay him, the queue didn't get him so quickly. Back then, it was so difficult for orphans and orphans, and they didn't get a copper plate in the clan, and they were almost framed by some clan relatives for stealing secret recipes when they did some small business. Now people are willing to take out 3,000 taels to repair the temple and run a school, let's laugh secretly! ”

Everyone agreed:

"That's it, that's it, our Xia family has been aggrieved for more than ten or twenty years, and now it's hard to stand up again, don't they all rely on their branch?"

"Who said it wasn't, first the Zhen family earned face for the Xia family's daughter-in-law, and now Brother Jie has soared again, and he can even let the emperor send a ceremonial official to preside over the ceremony, how many years has our Xia family not had this kind of glory?"

"Isn't it? Now that the ancestral shrine has been repaired and the clan study has been reopened, there is hope for the Xia family again. Brother Jie attaches great importance to love and righteousness, as long as the children in the clan are angry, they can also help one or two when they have the opportunity in the future. ”

"Hehe, now that our Xia family's sons and daughters are married, it shouldn't be as difficult as in previous years, right?"

……

Xia Linang's face was red, and his provocation not only did not get the expected positive response, but was also despised and ignored, and even caused everyone to "sing praises and praise" to Shujie.

The patriarch and the others didn't have time to pay attention to Xia Linang, and began to discuss with Uncle Rong about the cultivation of the ancestral hall, which must be completed before Shujie and the others returned, that is, within a month.

Xia Lin returned to the Xia Mansion in a gloomy manner, and Xia Ruoxue was talking to Mrs. Xia about moving.

Xia Ruoxue returned to Yulin ten days ago, and when Xia Linyu's brother saw the things she brought back with three carriages, he thought that she was coming back to visit relatives and deliver things as before, but when he heard that she was "abandoned" (coerced and left, isn't it abandonment?). ), immediately changed her face, scolded her for being ignorant, why didn't she discuss it with her mother's family and signed and left the book without authorization? He also blamed her for her bad ideas, which harmed herself and caused them to lose face at the patriarch's family banquet.

was reprimanded by Mrs. Xia for a few words, and the two brothers couldn't wait to ask for the dowry.

Xia Ruoxue saw that her biological brother was so affectionate to herself, and she changed her face faster than turning a book, she was very cold, and she only said that a lot of dowries had been sold in the early years, otherwise where did the rich New Year's gifts sent back to Yulin come from every year for more than ten years? Now he has only left some antique calligraphy and paintings for his son and jewelry for his daughter. The three carts of things brought back to Yulin this time, more than 3,000 taels of silver, and a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing are already her entire net worth. She is going to take half of the silver out to buy a house, and then buy a shop to do business, and the other half to keep for self-defense and retirement.

Of course, Brother Xia Linyu knew that this sister was not easy to handle, and Mrs. Xia was there, but they didn't dare to force her to take out all the money, but they just added a lot of money to the small courtyard on Xitang Street and sold it to her. Xia Ruoxue did not refuse, and agreed. Today, the small courtyard has been basically cleaned up, and Xia Ruoxue is ready to move over. (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
