Zilan raised her face and scolded her son, "Brother Luan, he is your little uncle, you have to respect your elders." ”

Brother Bian lowered his head, not daring to joke.

Cui Yi waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, it's okay, we're fine, don't forget to leave me a copy of any good things Brother Luan, just kidding is not in the way." ”

"Your little uncle loves you, you can't rely on the favor of your elders and don't know how to take care of it, it's not that my mother usually doesn't teach you like this."

"I see."

Brother Lu nodded obediently.

"Ming'er, your uncle Mu Xiu, do you want to go to your grandfather's house to play and find your cousin to play?"

Brother Zilan's brother understood, so he asked his son with a smile.

Brother Lu jumped up happily again and ran to drag the old lady's legs, "Master, I'm going to play, and my uncle said he wanted to give me a toy." ”

"Okay, my grandfather asked people to send you to have fun. Did you prepare a gift for your cousin? ”

"I've got my favorite toy ready."

Brother Tuan crossed his fingers and counted the things he had prepared for Ling Yun's son, Brother Qi.

Cui Yi blinked, squeezed his eyes at Zilan for help, he also wanted to play.

He has a good relationship with Brother Lu, the eldest child takes the little one, he plays crazy hard, and his relationship is more like a brother.

"Brother Yi, are you resting tomorrow, why don't you help me watch your nephew and let him stop making trouble."

Zilan thought for a while and spoke, also seeing that children usually study and ride and practice martial arts very hard, and it is okay to take a day off once in a while.

"Don't go, you didn't answer the last exam school, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Cui Jian coughed and glared at his son angrily.

Cui Yi lowered his head and looked dejected.

Brother Lu ran over and patted his hand, "Little uncle, don't be sad, I'll come back and bring you something delicious." ”

"Cut, not uncommon."

Cui Yi snorted.

"Brother Luan, you will also start practicing martial arts next year, and the year after tomorrow, you will move out of the inner courtyard and go to live in the outer courtyard, and I will let Uncle Yu Ze treat you harshly."

Cui Hao chuckled, and with a lore, he blinded Brother Xuan, and looked at his father dumbfounded.

Brother Lu turned around and pounced on the old lady, "Grandma, I don't want to practice martial arts." ”

"It's useless to beg you too much, you have to learn."

Cui Hao scolded solemnly.

Brother Yan looked like he was going to cry or not, he was very aggrieved, his eyes were purring, look at this, look at that, and see if there are any soft-hearted elders, he would be better to go over and beg for mercy.

Cui Yi suddenly laughed happily, and suddenly saw his father's dark face, and suddenly froze, and the strange expression made the people in the room laugh, he scratched his head and red ears, and Brother Yan also laughed, and stopped crying.

Zilan didn't bother Brother Lu's careful thoughts, anyway, he didn't have long to be happy, seeing that he was going to study in the outer courtyard in less than two years, the Cui family's school was very strict, it was a real fighter, and he would be punished.

Back in the house, Zilan sighed, "Erlang, I really want to have another child, I have hardly taken Brother Lu personally, it was my grandfather and grandmother who took care of me, and I have always felt indebted in my heart."

Seeing that Brother Lu is older, he won't stick to me anymore, and when he goes to the outer courtyard, he won't have time to stick to me. ”

Cui Hao smiled, "Fool, Brother Lu has a cheerful personality, you have done a good job, Brother Lu will definitely not be clinging to his mother when he is older, I have a little friend, I didn't kiss my mother when I was a child, and the same is true for my eldest brother."

Don't think about so many things that you don't have, if you want to give birth, let's give birth to one, and it just so happens that my sister-in-law is also pregnant, so we can also prepare. ”

Zilan smiled at him, "I hope to have a daughter." ”

"That depends on fate, the Cui family girl is still a little less."

Cui Hao shook his head, not holding out much hope.

The next day, Yu Ze and Su Xin accompanied Brother Lu to Song's house, and today Song Ziyan Muxiu said that he would take them to the Grange to play, and by the way, he recognized Mai Miao or something, and let the children go outside to run around and have fun.

Brother Lu happily waved goodbye to the old lady with a small gift for Brother Qi, and went to the Song family to spread joy.

Zilan smiled and went back to the study to continue working, because the sister-in-law Li was pregnant, and the housekeeper was taken over by the Jiang family again, and asked her to take care of the fetus.

Back in the study, Zilan took a look at the account book, and planned to calculate this year's accounts in advance and distribute dividends to the clansmen.

It will also give rewards to the outstanding sons and daughters of the clan and increase the investment in the school, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, printed books, and so on.

You also have to select some clansmen with special products to work in the clan industry, and if you can't pass the imperial examination, you have to learn to support yourself.

It is also necessary to cultivate some family guards and family members, practice martial arts, and the Cui family also has Deadpool, but the name is different, but the cultivation is very strong, and it plays the role of protecting the clan.

Over the years, she has figured out the family rules and habits of the Cui family, and slowly changed some rules, so that these rules can serve the purpose of protecting the clansmen.

It is true that this process is a bit long, and the people of the clan will definitely not be able to adapt to it if it is completely changed all at once, but if it does not affect the interests, or if it can still share some money and benefits, then this reform will not be excluded.

Among them, there have also been changes to the students who take the imperial examination in the academy.

If you don't pass the first time in the scientific examination, you can continue to take the test next time, but the money and resources will be halved. Continue to take the test for the third time and continue to halve on this basis, and pay for it yourself for the fourth time.

Don't feel mean, the big exam is once every three years, and the imperial examination is ten years, and no matter how big the family business is, you can't stand the gray hair in the exam.

This decision was not accepted by the clan at first, it costs a lot of money to study, and it must be distressing to pay for it yourself, but the old lady still firmly supports her.

Originally, the Cui family did not have unlimited supply, but it used to be exchanged for labor, and the default rules were not so clear.

Of course, if you do well in the exam, get on the list and are still in the top few good rankings, there will naturally be rewards, such as rewarding a house, depending on your ranking, the size of the house is different.

There will also be a reward for the field, if you want to buy a shop to collect rent so that you can guarantee the harvest in drought and flood, if you are willing to pay for the designated shop in the clan, you can get a discount.

This is not sold to you, it is a share, and the profits made by this store can be divided into 10% for you, similar to this.

Don't feel that it is less, if it is a particularly profitable store, you can earn two or three thousand taels of silver a year, and one percent of silver is also a lot, for a small family with a small population, there is a lot of money, and you basically don't have to worry about the nervous things in your hands.

You have to know that the Cui Family School is free until Xiucai, and it also provides a lunch at noon, including pen, ink, paper, and inkstone when you go to school, as long as you don't waste it, you almost need to buy very few things yourself.

If you have a field in the clan that needs to be worked by the clan, you will also be given a part of the grain, and if you contribute to the clan, you will also be given a share of the dividends according to the size of the merit.

There are almost no poor and down-and-out families in the Cui family, no matter how poor the family is, they have fields, and they have a very stable life with their fingers, and they can still have money in their hands, which is much better than the ordinary people outside.
