Chapter 12: The Council of Clans
One more
"Niece and daughter, not to mention this recipe, is there a share of marrying out a daughter. Just talking about the recipe, the rule passed down by the ancestors is that even if there is a new recipe, the old recipe is useless, and it has to be burned on the spot, and no one is allowed to show it. Do you know weishenme? One doctor and one side, the prescription is the doctor's painstaking efforts, and those who have a heart can infer the dosage of other prescriptions from one party, so other prescriptions cannot be kept secret. Do you still want it now? A clan elder said. He doesn't know medicine, but he knows the ancestral teachings.
"Their family has this ability, why do they want us?" Aunt Gu's mind was not slow at this, and she immediately refuted it.
"Their family doesn't have this ability, what if there is someone who has the heart? Auntie, even if it's for the sake of my cousin, I can't agree to this. If you want your cousin's good, you'd rather find that poor scholar and help him improve. It's done, and my cousin is the official's wife; No, I raised it, and I didn't dare to do anything to my cousin. It's more reliable than that. Gu Yi frowned and proposed.
Qiluo nodded, after listening to it for a long time, this sentence is the most pertinent, and it is 100% sincere for Yilan. This is my cousin, I would never think like this, not that I couldn't think of it, but I wouldn't bother to think like that. Glancing back at Gu Ren, he pursed his mouth and pretended to be dumb, but he didn't open his mouth anyway. Qiluo smiled, she admired Gu Ren more and more.
Thinking that she is really not that good-tempered person, she doesn't like Yilan, so she won't really think about Yilan. She said that she could help Yilan write a new prescription, but in fact, she was looking at her father-in-law's face, anyway, she should send it to the Bodhisattva, and it would be better to send it early. Of course, if her father-in-law didn't mean that, she shouldn't have said it.
Now I see Gu Ren's indifferent look. She was very happy. If you really take care of anyone's business, you must not be busy to death. So whether you are the head of the house or a doctor. Trade-offs are necessary, and you must learn to hide yourself in a timely manner at all times.
Gu Ren saw Qiluo smiling at him, and he also smiled. However, Aunt Gu didn't notice Qiluo's smile, but when she saw Gu Ren smiling, she exploded.
"Ren'er, are you just watching your cousin die?" Aunt Gu screamed.
Gu Ren didn't speak, but he actually knew that he couldn't speak about this. Because everything is wrong. agree, the family will not spare him; disagreed, so he became a merciless person. He hurriedly cleared his throat.
The nephew smiled because he felt that the second brother was right. That's exactly what I want to say. A discarded prescription is nothing, it really can't be done, so let my father-in-law slightly change a few flavors of medicine to ensure the taste. The same effect is sufficient. It's just as the second brother said. Is this good for my cousin? Do you want a prescription or a cousin? I gave one today, and my cousin married me and said it badly, and then what? Do you come back and ask for it, and we will give it again? If you don't give it, how can your cousin live in that house? It is for the sake of my cousin that I can't give it, our family's precious daughter. You can't be cheapened by outsiders. When the old lady was alive, she chose a husband for her aunt. Isn't that what you think about? If my aunt really loves her cousin, that's the right thing. Gu Ren said it reasonably, and by the way, he pulled the old lady out and expressed that we were not reluctant to give it, but because we loved our cousin.
Qiluo lowered her head, she noticed that Gu Ren pushed the matter of changing the prescription to her father, obviously, he didn't want people to know that she had this ability. Is this to protect her? That's right, if you have this ability, it's better not to let people know. At the beginning, the hemostasis was also entrusted to his father's name.
"Today, your daughter-in-law wants to drive our family away, you are telling this lie now, I am still alive, if I died, you would have turned your face a long time ago." Aunt Gu had obviously gotten into the horns of the bull and couldn't get out at all.
"The Zongzhai is everyone's Zongzhai, not our one-room Zongzhai. We live in it now because my father-in-law is the sect master, my senior brother is the grandson of the sect, and our children will be born here. This is the system of the clan. When the old lady was there, she let the second uncle and aunt's family live because the old lady was the last generation of clan women, and she had the right to let her children live in the clan house. But my father-in-law doesn't have that right. Kira slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand and raised his head.
This was not what she said, it was said by the old lady at the clan meeting of the Cheng family. The Cheng family's hometown also has a clan house, the Cheng family has taken root in Beijing, and the hometown is somewhat uncared for, and if there are interests, it is naturally coveted, so the old lady said something similar, indicating that she is not not denied to live in the family, but this is the system of the sect family, I let you go in to live, does that mean that we will give up the position of the sect master? If so, then we're going to split up. At that time, the old man had already gone, and the Cheng family only had Cheng Xi and Cheng Xi's son. For the sake of his descendants, the old lady can't back down. So at that time, Qiluo knew that a worthless dilapidated house represented the clan, and at this time, Aunt Gu was aggressive at the clan meeting, and if it wasn't good, their clan was infighting, but it made people say that their house was not tolerated.
Master Gu and Gu Ren originally didn't want to let this matter go, but at this time, Aunt Gu didn't care about the system, making them feel that they had lost face for a while, and at this time, let Qiluo redeem it, Master Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately looked helpless.
At the beginning, the old lady was reluctant to leave her children and grandchildren, but when she was alive, she had already separated the two rooms. As for saying that my sister is married to the Liu family, it is not a marriage. Even if it is a rich family, it is not said that the children of the separated family will live in the clan house. When the old lady first separated, she made it very clear that if she lives, you can live. Now the old lady's filial piety has passed, but I think that you are also so old, you will think, so you don't speak. However, the sect woman is right, the system of the sect family must be maintained, and I am not only your brother, but also the sect master. Second child, sister, you can move out of the sect house one day. ”
Second Uncle Gu glared at Qiluo, and Qiluo lowered his head again to focus on his tea bowl. What should be said, she said, it is not she who is forcing this step now, but Aunt Gu. However, she couldn't help sighing, now that Aunt Gu had moved out of the sect mansion, the things that followed would be even more difficult. Qinghetang didn't know what he thought, he was really connected, and she had a headache in the back.
This is a clan meeting, the clan elders are here, at this time, Master Gu's words, there is no room for turnaround, and people will naturally not stand on the side of Second Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu to speak. Their ancestor is also the second son, and they can't live in the sect's mansion, so naturally they can't see the second uncle Gu living there. Even Second Uncle Gu can't live, and the daughter who married out can't live. So everyone unanimously shouted that it should be so, and they didn't look at the second uncle's face at all.
Aunt Gu was defeated, pointing at the sky and scolding the earth, looking like a complete shrew, while Second Uncle Gu had an iron face and stared at Qiluo viciously. And Gu Yi was a little dazed on the side. They're moving out of the mansion, and they're also on the sidelines.
Back in the inner house, Second Uncle Gu's family and Aunt Gu's family naturally still have to make trouble, it is inevitable that they will go, but it is impossible to let them go like this. They still want to do Zuihou's struggle, at least let them take something with them.
Old Master Gu lost the calmness he had just had at the clan meeting, and instead stared at them viciously.
"I owe you?" Master Gu stared at his younger siblings fiercely. He didn't care about others, he only looked at his own siblings of his mother's compatriots, "You must say that you have been oppressed by me all your life, and I went up the mountain to learn art from Master at the age of four, where are you?" I went down the mountain at the age of fifteen to help out in the shop, where are you? When the mother wanted to give you an engagement, she chose the only daughter of the Yongqingtang family, and you won't know what you think, you said that you don't want to be a son-in-law, so you went to someone else to make a big fuss, Yongqingtang and Changchun Tang had a bad relationship, and Changchun Tang gave up the business in Tongzhou. And then none of them dared to marry our family. That's what you do! It's easy to marry you and have children. Ren'er went to Renxintang to learn art, what did her mother say at that time, let Yi'er go together. What do you say, your righteous son will read and glorify the lintel. Ren'er was beaten by his father-in-law until his hand was swollen, gritted his teeth and didn't cry, and went back the next day. Your righteous son specially invited Xixi, and offered delicious food and drink; Ren'er went home to help at the age of twelve, and went out to do business independently at the age of fifteen, where are your father and son? Over the years, I have opened one eye and closed one eye, tossed by your father and son. Don't think that I owe you, if it weren't for my mother's face, you and I would have been blown out. No one doesn't let you study medicine, you have been in the pharmacy for so many years, you can't even read a prescription, do you really think that it's just because you're the second child that you can't get this position? ”
Aunt Gu wanted to cry, but seeing that the eldest brother was so angry, she didn't dare to cry all of a sudden, for fear that the eldest brother would transfer his anger to herself.
Gu Yi stared at his father for a while, then knelt down to Master Gu, "Uncle, let us for two days, and when we are cleaned up, we will move out immediately." ”
"You're out of luck, but you're too self-conscious, and you think too highly of yourself. After taking the test once, I refused to take the test again and went home to help. Over the years, I have also watched that your heart is useless on the right path. But if you are stronger than your father, I will forget it, I just hope that you can support your house for him, and now it is still the case, you can come back to help, what do you want to learn, I still support, you are also a descendant of the Gu family, I will not be biased. However, wipe your eyes clean, put your heart right, and don't be ruined by your stupid father and mother for the rest of your life. "Master Gu finally didn't hate Gu Yi so much, although he spoke harshly, but in general, he didn't take away his errand.
Gu Yi kowtowed and went to pull his parents, Second Uncle Gu still wanted to make trouble, but was stopped by Gu Yi, Second Aunt Gu cried out, Gu Yi was a little helpless, but he still calmed down and yelled at the maid behind Second Aunt Gu, "Still stunned, help Mrs. Go back." ”
Second Aunt Gu was yelled at by her son and didn't dare to cry anymore, and she was dragged away, of course, when she turned around, her resentful eyes shot straight at Qiluo. Kira didn't see it, she was concentrating on boiling tea, as if the commotion just now had nothing to do with her. But Gu Ren saw it and frowned involuntarily.
Gu Yi saw Gu Ren's brows, and couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, pulled his father to take a step back, successfully blocked his mother's sight, and the family left in a bit of embarrassment. (To be continued......)
