Chapter 432: Removing the Clan
Qiao Yixi shook her head, "No, I should go and see, my name hasn't been written into the family tree yet, and the name of the county lord is about to go up." ”
It's a pity that I didn't take advantage of this opportunity to play on the topic.
Although the Gu family made a fortune early, it is not glorious, and several generations have relied on women, so the Gu family looks bright, but they can't change the kind of small family spirit in their bones.
Therefore, the clansmen of the Gu clan are still in the capital, the birthplace of the Gu clan.
In the words of the clansmen themselves, it is that they must not forget their roots.
No matter how developed the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is, they can't forget their roots, forget who they used to be, and they can't learn luxury and gentleness because of their different identities, and the Gu family's family motto has the word "self-discipline".
Sounds lofty.
In fact, it's just that the "strength" of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is not enough for the people of the Gu clan to move to the capital and enjoy the life of a human being.
Instead of living a humble life in the noble circle, it is better to live a "noble" life in this "poor country".
At least, the surrounding villages and towns are all looking at their horses, and the patriarch and others are too addicted to officials.
The people of the Gu clan are very smart, especially in "calculation", and they have a natural shrewdness.
Qiao Lixi was the first time to go to the Gu family's "old nest", there was nothing new about it, on the contrary, it didn't feel good for her at first sight.
How so?
Qiao Yixi glanced around.
Can't forget your roots?
However, the village of the Gu family is extremely "luxurious", almost every household is a brick house, and the yard is large and small, just depending on how much foundation each family can buy.
No wonder the Feng clan doesn't have a good face for the Gu clan, these face-saving things are all "funding" from the Hou Mansion every year.
The people of the Gu clan love face, especially the existence of such a "noble" as the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, looking at the patriarch's tone, Qiao Lixi felt ridiculous, turned his head, and out of sight.
For the sake of the genealogy of the lord of Nishang County today, the clansmen have been busy for several days, and the pomp and circumstance can be described as not ordinary.
The patriarch invited the uncle with the highest rank in the clan.
Looking at Uncle Tai's trembling figure, the corners of Qiao Lixi's eyes twitched.
"Uncle Tai is over seventy years old, and it is not a particularly important occasion, so he will not go out easily." Gu Jinzhen gave a rare explanation to Qiao Yixi.
Qiao Yixi nodded.
The ancients could live to this age, which is really a long life.
There are a lot of opening remarks, which are nothing more than a vision of the Gu family's vision, as well as a compliment to the lord of Nishang.
Qiao Lixi and Gu Jinzhen stood side by side, the two cooperated very well, and it was rare that they did not find fault.
This also made the patriarch and the Marquis of Dingguo breathe a sigh of relief.
"Qiaoqiao, you don't have to care, my name is not on the family tree."
Therefore, that Rausch family tree is a piece of waste paper in his eyes.
Qiao Lixi quietly held Gu Jinzhen's hand.
How could it not be cared for?
The ancients paid the most attention to the family and their roots, no matter what the contradiction between Gu Jinzhen and the Marquis of Dingguo, he was the son of the Marquis of Dingguo, a member of the Gu family, and a member of the Gu family.
But it was these so-called relatives who deprived him of the right to a surname and abandoned him.
Don't care?
It's just a kind of relief that I persuaded myself after countless disappointments and abandonments.
"Well, don't worry, in the future, we will open our own clan, you are the patriarch, I am the patriarch's wife, and the whole clan has the final say."
Thinking of something, Gu Jinzhen raised his eyebrows, "In this case, you have to have a few more children, whether it is a son or a daughter, otherwise the few people who are lonely on the genealogy will not have the momentum of the General's Mansion at all." ”
"General's Mansion?" Qiao Yixi rolled her eyes, "Speaking of which, the old emperor rewarded you with so many things, why didn't you reward a mansion?" ”
"With the house, we will move out, what else can the people in the Hou Mansion get?" Gu Jinzhen said disdainfully.
Qiao Yixi didn't really care about the house, Gu Jinzhen had her own courtyard, and if she really wanted to move out, they moved out by themselves, but now they enjoyed the group of people in the Hou Mansion gritting their teeth, but they were helpless.
The two of them whispered as if no one was around, and they didn't pay attention to what the patriarch said, until the old patriarch called Gu Jinzhen's name, and the two of them came back to their senses.
"Brother Zhen, for various reasons, your name was not on the family tree before, and I know that you have always had a prejudice against us clansmen. But if you think about it carefully, you are surnamed Gu, but you are against your father and us everywhere, and we have been tolerant of you again and again, but at that time, you were in a rebellious period, and you didn't get in, no matter what we said, you thought we were quibbling and covering up the truth of the matter. We don't know where you heard what you heard from and that we had such a big misunderstanding that in desperation, we decided to punish you appropriately. ”
The patriarch spoke with emotion, but the two were indifferent.
The patriarch said solemnly, "We just want to give you a warning, not really to exterminate you. If you think about it carefully, how can we talk to you about you like that at that time? Now that you have a family and a business, you understand more truths, and we can also have a good talk and open the knots in our hearts. Take advantage of the fact that the county lord enters the family tree today, and you also re-enter the family. ”
"What about Jojo? Jojo is my wife. ”
Jojo ...... Naturally, it is also to be included in the family tree. The patriarch said without hesitation.
It seems that he didn't deliberately "forget" Qiao Lixi before.
Gu Jinzhen smiled slightly, "Forget it." ”
"What do you mean, Brother Zhen?" The patriarch "groaned" in his heart for no reason.
Dingguohou's face was ugly.
This rebel, really doesn't want the Hou Mansion to be good, and he doesn't want the Gu clan to be good!
"Brother Zhen, are you complaining about us? ...... at the beginning"
"The patriarch is too worried," Gu Jinzhen interrupted the patriarch's words, "I am not in the family tree, and it has nothing to do with the original matter." I just think that the Gu clan can't tolerate me, so why should I stick it upside down? ”
"Rebel son, don't you even recognize your ancestors?" Dingguo Hou asked preemptively.
Gu Jinzhen's gentle appearance made people grit their teeth, but they couldn't do anything about it.
"I will naturally recognize my ancestors, and I will not forget my roots."
"And what do you mean?" The patriarch's face was ugly, he had already put down his face and said so much, Gu Jinzhen was still as strong as a cow, and the oil and salt did not enter, and slapped him in the face.
"I will not forget what my surname is, nor will I forget the ancestors of the Gu family, and of course, I will not forget my mother's death."
"Brother Zhen, we know that you are filial, and you have always been obsessed with the death of your mother, but if there is no evidence, you can't talk nonsense," the patriarch changed to the seriousness of the elders, "I know that you have questions about your mother's death, and we also helped you find the imperial doctor who diagnosed your mother's pulse back then, which is the dregs, and you kept it yourself and went to check it in person, and the truth is in front of you." You don't want to accept it, you don't want to admit it, and you are bent on treating us as enemies, and in that case, I have to make the decision to let you expel you temporarily. First, I want to sharpen your temperament, and second, I also want to give an explanation to my clansmen. Really, you were young and stubborn at that time, and if I didn't do that, what if you did something that caused a disturbance to our people? Now that you have a successful career, a family, and a lot of understanding, I have also carefully considered letting you re-enter the family tree. ”
"Yes, in the eyes of the patriarch, I am not what I used to be. I have a successful career now, not only the first-class general of the imperial dynasty, but also the famous Shen family army in my hands, and most importantly, the emperor's wife-Nishang County Lord. These make the clansmen of the Gu clan particularly face-saving, and make the Dingguo Marquis Mansion more decent in the noble circle, so you are not afraid that I will make a mistake now, do something wrong, and affect the clansmen? Personally, I think that my current state is more willing to do big and undesirable things. ”
The patriarch's face was dark, the Marquis of Dingguo tried his best to forbear, and the Feng clan stood aside without caring about himself.
If she didn't have anything to do today, she wouldn't be the first bird.
"General," said the county lord of Nishang sagefully, "it is a big deal to enter the family tree today, and I know that you are uncomfortable, but you must not be stubborn at this time. Everyone has their own roots, the higher the power, the more you can't forget your roots, you must know that without the efforts of these clansmen, the Hou Mansion will not go so far and so stable over the years. ”
The patriarch's face softened.
Therefore, what people with different identities say is that there is a level.
The words of the county lord of Nishang raised the people of the Gu clan extremely high.
"Family, everyone is an ancestor, general, if you talk like this, it hurts not only the clansmen, but also the spirits of the ancestors and ancestors in the sky, and when they see it, they will also be sad. The previous misunderstanding, now that it has been made clear, general, you should also let go, you are a person who does big things, and you shouldn't worry about these small things. The patriarch did that, but also for the sake of the clan, and he made a decision in desperation, so why should you be obsessed. ”
Gu Jinzhen looked at the neon dress county lord who was talking with a smile, "The county lord thinks so much about the Gu family's genealogy, the patriarch will definitely fulfill the county lord's wishes." As for me and Jojo, we'll start a separate clan. ”
"What did you say?" Gu Jinzhen's words slapped his face every word, so that Dingguohou couldn't sit still anymore, "What is the other clan?" The ancestors of the Gu clan are enshrined in the ancestral hall, and they have been like this for hundreds of years, do you want to open a clan? Where will you take your fathers and your fathers? ”
"Of course it's a better place, the ancestors of the Gu clan stay in this kind of smoky place, they can't speak of their suffering, and they don't know how aggrieved they are."
"Rebel, you ......"
"I'm here today to inform you, not to ask for your opinions," Gu Jinzhen said slowly, "How can I take back the decision that has been made?" Patriarch, this will make you appear to be very unauthoritative. ”
