"Plop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info。。 ”

Wu Qingtan knelt in front of Wu Mianqing and the other three elders.

"Third uncle, elders, there is too much depression in my mother's heart, just now I am unscrupulous, nonsense, third uncle and the elders don't care, the younger generation must accompany the mother more to resolve the resentment in the mother's heart...

"Tan'er, you are the patriarch, what do you kneel, I am very sober...

"Mother, don't say any more, do you want to force the child to death?"

Wu Qingtan's words made Mrs. Wu completely shut up, her face instantly turned gray, she was slumped to the side, and her eyes were full of despair.

Seeing such a situation, Wu Fanhui didn't speak, he knew that today's blow was catastrophic, and this Mrs. Wu wouldn't last long.

"Patriarch, the affairs in the family should have been in charge of you, just now, several people and I have seen it, we are all worried about the future of the family, the sister-in-law has not been very normal recently, so she is ordered to be grounded at home, don't go anywhere, as for how long the grounding time, the elders in the family make a decision."

Wu Mianqing glanced at her sister-in-law coldly.

"Patriarch, you have a special status, and your every move is related to the rise and fall of the family, if you still act according to the previous style and don't know how to be self-reliant and self-reliant, then I will not only deprive the elders of the family of your patriarch, but also expel you from the family."

Mrs. Wu heard these words clearly, and at this time, she was a little sober, it seemed that Wu Mianqing was really angry, if she was ready to fight back, in exchange for not only being kicked out of the Wu family, but even her son would be expelled from the house.

Tiger poison does not eat children, Mrs. Wu does not think about herself, but she always needs to think about something for her son.

Reluctantly propping up her body, Mrs. Wu staggered towards the outside of the wing.

Wu Qingtan was about to step forward to help, but when he saw Wu Mianqing Tieqing's expression, he didn't dare to move.

"Patriarch, help your mother to leave, the punishment of grounding, starting today, I will preside over the next ancestor worship ceremony."

The Wu family has been in Mizhi County for more than 300 years, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, the family moved here, took root, hundreds of years have passed, the Wu family is also the same as the Ming Dynasty, from prosperity to gradual decline.

When he walked into the ancestral hall, Wu Fanhui's face was very solemn.

Today's worship of ancestors, has the meaning of recognizing ancestors and returning to the ancestors, Wu Mianqing for him to take the word Qianjue, from this moment on, he and his father Wu Qingchao's names, including the names of his mother and two sisters, will enter the family genealogy.

Wu Fanhui does not believe in the gods, but he shows an attitude of awe, respect for ancestors is respect for history, but also respect for themselves, which has nothing to do with superstition, this is the embodiment of human nature, if you do not know the fear and respect for ancestors, regardless of their own origin and identity, lost the nature of being a human being, such people are truly hopeless.

Above the incense case, there are many ancestral tablets, and the incense case is already surrounded by smoke.

In fact, the ceremony of worshiping ancestors has ended, but Wu Mianqing made a temporary decision to let Wu Qingchao and Wu Fanhui enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

"Listed as the ancestors, the descendants of the Wu family came to worship."

Wu Qingchao held three lit incense sticks in his hand, walked to the couch and knelt down and kowtowed, and there were words in his mouth.

Then there was Wu Fanhui, he knelt down naturally, without the slightest discomfort, in front of him were the deceased predecessors of the Wu family, and he should kneel.

"The Wu family is not a descendant, Wu Fanhui of the Ming character faction, the word Qianjue, worship the ancestors, and implore the ancestors to bless the family, bless the family, and bless the younger generations. . . ."

Wu Mianqing and the rest of the people looked at Wu Fanhui who was worshipping, and their eyes revealed relief and a little concern, after all, Wu Fanhui was their junior.

When he came to the wing room again, the butler had already placed the twenty taels of silver on the table in a wooden plate.

When he saw Wu Qingchao and Wu Fanhui at the door, the housekeeper's expression also changed, he bent over, and naturally showed a smile, with humility in his attitude.

However, in about two hours, the housekeeper's attitude has undergone a earth-shaking change, which cannot help but make people feel emotional.

Wu Qingchao saw the silver on the table, and instinctively thought about refusing, but Wu Fanhui was not polite, reached out and took the two ingots of silver, and handed them to Wu Qingchao, don't be a fool if you have money.

Wu Qingchao's face was slightly red, but twenty taels of silver was not a small amount, it was a huge amount of money, so after he took the silver, he carefully put it inside the placket on his chest, and deliberately touched it from the outside.

Wu Fanhui and Wu Qingchao's actions are different in Wu Mianqing's eyes.

He thinks that Wu Fanhui's attitude towards money is natural, he will not deliberately pursue it, and he will not look at money too much, after having money, he must be generous, and he is willing to pay money to do big things, which is a very rare quality, as for Wu Qingchao, he has a lot of childishness, and Wu Fanhui cannot be compared.

Wu Mianqing already has a plan in his heart, Wu Fanhui is indeed a talent, and has a very strong family affection, such a talent family must be enveloped, although it is said that Wu Fanhui is a child of the Wu family, but if you want to let him really do things for the family, I am afraid it is not so simple.

"Qian Jue, March is the county exam, you still focus on studying, don't be distracted by other things, participating in the county exam is the most important thing for you."

"Qingchao, you once studied in the school, so you went to the family's account to do the housekeeping, in the future, all the expenses in the family will be controlled by you, your monthly salary is five taels of silver, with these salaries, you can also maintain the family's expenses."

Wu Qingchao's mouth opened wide, and he didn't know how to answer.

The Wu family, which has lasted for 300 years, still has some family properties, nearly 1,000 acres of thin fields, and some shops in the county, all of which are owned by the family and are the main source of maintenance expenses.

In the past, all the affairs of the family account were directly controlled by Mrs. Wu, but now that Mrs. Wu has been grounded, it is impossible to continue to be in charge of the affairs of the family account, so Wu Mianqing made a decision to let Wu Qingchao take charge.

Patriarch Wu Qingtan would never and would not dare to object, not to mention such a thing, Wu Mianqing must have exchanged opinions with other elders in the family.

The power to control the account is very great, but over the years, the Wu family has gradually declined, and I don't know what the situation of the account is, and where the money and money that are earned every year are spent.

Anyway, Wu Qingchao and Wu Fanhui didn't see a penny.

Wu Fanhui instinctively wanted to refuse, but in the end he didn't speak, he had a mature mind, knew what Wu Mianqing meant, Wu Qingchao became the head of the Wu family's account, and his monthly salary was five taels of silver, which exceeded the amount of the county's annual income, but the county also had other incomes.

Five taels of silver is enough to maintain the family's expenses and allow my mother and sister to live a good life.

But the five taels of silver per month are not so easy to get, and anyone who manages the accounts of a family needs to be particularly shrewd, need to grasp the big and small matters in the family, need to calculate every income in the family, including every expense, and be able to coordinate the relationship within the family and even outside the family.

Wu Qingchao does not necessarily have such ability.

Wu Mianqing and even the entire family have thrown an olive branch, if Wu Fanhui still refuses at this time, it will be counterproductive, and he will definitely not do such a stupid thing.

In fact, what Wu Fanhui is most worried about is the open and secret struggle between several major families in the county, the Wu family is already in a weak position, and if they are involved in these struggles, they can't take the slightest advantage, if Wu Qingchao is involved in these struggles, the trouble he gets into is actually the trouble of his Wu Fanhui.

"Qianjue, do you have any concerns?"

Wu Fanhui looked up at Wu Mianqing, he was really powerful, so he didn't ask Wu Qingchao directly, but asked him about this junior.

"The third grandfather is grateful to his father, and the younger generation is grateful, the younger generation just thought, my father took over the family's account, there are too many things to deal with, I am afraid that you need to be careful everywhere, the strength of the He family has continued to grow over the years, even if the Wu family wants to show weakness, people may not necessarily give up."

"Hehe, yes, I just said about the account room, and you thought of such a far-reaching follow-up, the five major families in Mizhi County have lasted for hundreds of years, and they will not tear their faces for the time being, Qingchao, you also heard it just now, I know that you have some bad opinions about the patriarch, but this is all in the past, in the future, you still have to assist the patriarch, take care of the internal affairs of the family, and sometimes give some suggestions to the patriarch."

Wu Qingchao nodded again and again, and finally spoke.

"Third uncle, don't worry, I will do my best."

On the way home, Wu Qingchao smiled from ear to ear, and touched the silver on his chest from time to time, which made Wu Fanhui a little speechless, from this moment on, his parents and sister have a status in the family, and it is impossible to continue to be obscure, but the promotion of status also means the increase of responsibility, in a gradually declining big family, the possibility of holding silver and not doing things does not exist, and then Wu Qingchao does not know how much hard work to pay.

Wu Fanhui can't help his father for the time being, after all, he has his own things to do.

Back home, Wang Hecui, Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang were waiting at home, which made Wu Fanhui a little strange, it is said that today's events, mother and sister did not know, until Wu Qingchao said all the things today, Wang Hecui said, the family has sent someone to inform Wu Qingchao of the matter of serving as the family account manager.

Wu Fanhui blinked, this family is a family, even if it is a family in Mizhi County that is not particularly prominent, it has the means to do things, think about it, if it is not capable, it is impossible for the Wu family to maintain it for hundreds of years.
