Chapter Seventy-Eight: Flogging

When the Zhao family heard this, they felt a little more comfortable, and their faces improved a little, Zhu Zhuangzheng, Zhang and Zhu Xiaoxian were directly dragged to the ancestral hall

Originally, the people in Zhujiazhuang were aggressive and wanted to fight with the Zhao family, but when they heard that because of this reason, they all wilted

It's so embarrassing, I thought that the kid was really in the Zhao family, and no one believed that Zhu Xiaoxian would do this

So I just listened to this matter, I didn't take it seriously, but after listening to Zhu Xiaoxian say it himself, they really didn't have a face to face the Zhao family

However, the Zhao family's approach, the patriarch does not agree, it is reasonable, no matter how there are still the clansmen of the Zhu family here, the patriarch and the clan elders are here, and there is really no one in their eyes

Such a blatant smash, what did Zhujiazhuang do? It's too arrogant

As soon as the ancestral hall opened, the clan elders came, but the patriarch who turned his face with the Yun Shu family did not come, saying that he was sick

As soon as the patriarch told the clan elders about this, the clan elders were very angry, what was going on with this Zhu Zhuang family, and the shameful things came from his family

If you don't give the clan a long face, it's just a shame to go back?

They unanimously agreed to let the patriarch look at the treatment, and if there were different opinions, they would point it out to their faces

In the end, the patriarch announced in public, "Zhu Zhuangzheng and his wife, the godson is not strict, knowing the reason, his son Zhu Xiaoxian discarded his parent, it is really shameful, and he has no intention of harming the young son, so he expelled the three out of the family tree"

The clansmen all sighed, it sounded so scary, but there was no substantive punishment, seeing that the Zhao family did not react, the patriarch read again

"Reading that Zhu Zhuangzheng and his wife are old, they will not be punished for other purposes, Zhu Xiaoxian's family law will be punished by twenty strokes, whipping, and immediately executed"

The patriarch didn't have any opinions, and the patriarch looked at the Zhao family, squeezing out a smile on his face, "Are you satisfied?" ”

Zhao's eyes were red when he cried, "What kind of intention, no matter how much punishment is given, my grandson will not come back, my poor grandson, my poor daughter"

Old man Zhao sighed, "That's it", he knew that everything should be done in moderation, their Zhao family was rampant in their village, and they came to other people's territory, no matter how reasonable it was, it couldn't be excessive

In public, Zhu Zhuangzheng and his wife and their three sons were crossed out from the genealogy, and the Zhao family watched Zhu Xiaoxian be whipped twenty times, and then they took people away

In the ancestral hall, the patriarch pointed at Zhu Zhuangzheng and scolded angrily, "You dog, if I don't expel you from the family tree today, you will be beaten half to death by the people of the Zhao family, and maybe you will even make trouble with the yamen."

The Zhang family is still not convinced, "Patriarch, it was just an accident, we didn't think about harming our grandson."

"Ahh

"No, I mean, we just want that Liu family to come back, and they can get back together, in short, Xiaoxian thinks the original match is good"

"Ahh Are you stupid? As far as your family is concerned, the shell lang will go around with disgust."

The tribesmen couldn't hold back, and they all burst out laughing

A clan elder raised his eyelids, "Zhuang Zheng, and this Zhang family, today, it is still the patriarch who left you a way to live, only expelled from the genealogy, and did not drive you out of the village, you should be grateful to the patriarch"

Zhu Zhuang immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times at the patriarch and patriarch

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's my fault that I didn't teach my daughter-in-law and children well, it's my fault, thank you for the kindness of the clan, and let us live in the village"

The patriarch sighed, "It's good if you know, settle down a little in the future, the current life is not like before, don't toss for a little silver"

"Hey, hey", Zhu Zhuang agreed, and he and Zhang helped Zhu Xiaoxian up and left the ancestral hall

After everyone in the village left, the patriarch couldn't hold back, and spit out another mouthful of blood

"Are we really wrong?" , and then fainted with his eyes closed

His daughter-in-law hurriedly found someone to carry him home, and asked for a doctor and sent someone to the county seat to call her son home, not to mention this

Those clan elders were in the ancestral hall, offering incense to their ancestors, and they all sighed when they came out

"The Zhu family is declining more and more, it's our elders who haven't taught the children well, it's our dereliction of duty, hey~"

"Seeing that this is true, this patriarch is estimated to not be able to last long"

"Well, Suo Xing will choose another person with both ability and political integrity and long-term vision to be the person, don't take the real risk that his son is promising, but he can't, we elected him in the first place, it was a bit rushed"

"Yes, if Shikuan can come back, then our Zhu family will not be like this"

"We're all old"

Several clan elders discussed the change of patriarch while walking, of course, this is also a communication between them, after all, they still want the current patriarch to abdicate by himself

It's all from a family, so do a little better, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, after all, the two sons of the family are promising, and they are mixed in the county

Within a few days, the patriarch Zhu Shimao really applied for abdication with the clan elders on the grounds that he was unwell

No, first, his body can't stand the blow anymore, second, the people don't accept him, third, his daughter-in-law makes him retreat, and his two sons all agree with him to retreat

Then retreat, so it didn't take long for the ancestral hall to open again, this time the clan elders and clansmen participated, for the sake of Zhujiazhuang's reputation in the future, this time it was more prudent

It's hard to be too smart, I'm afraid it's not really for the family, it's too honest to be too honest, and it's really difficult to convince the public

In the end, there was really no way, and a clan elder proposed that whoever had the most harmony would choose the head of the family as the patriarch

So, Zhu Xiangtian was elected as the patriarch of Zhujiazhuang

Zhu Xiangtian, thirty-five years old, is the eldest in the family, his brothers have separated, and his parents have followed him

Before the separation, the family never blushed, after the separation, they got along in harmony, and the reason for the separation was also to reduce unnecessary troubles, and there was no contradiction in the time-sharing

As soon as Zhu Xiangtian heard that he was asked to be the patriarch, he immediately shook like a rattle

This patriarch, to be honest, is really reluctant to take over

First, he has his own business to do and to feed a large family;

Second, a mess was handed to him, and it was a headache to watch

But the clan elders and the clansmen, drove him to the shelf, and let him be, then, just be it, hey

Someone stepped down and was in a bad mood, and someone came on stage and was not in a good mood

I thought the patriarch was a good official, he had no money, no power, just a broken patriarch

Fortunately, his children are all older, and they can help him share the burden, otherwise he will not take this position in life or death, and his efforts are thankless

However, he also asked his clansmen that if he was allowed to take over, it would be fine, he must listen to what he said, and if he didn't listen, don't look for him if anything happens in the future

I don't have to say anything about this, the clan elder first expressed his stance and passed, and the clansmen naturally followed

It was also the new patriarch who had seen the world, and on the second day of his new appointment, he began to gather idle clansmen and dig drainage ditches around Zhujiazhuang

When the rainy season comes, many families are afraid, either because the crops in the fields will be flooded and the harvest will be reduced, or because the houses will be flooded and will collapse

This thing is for the benefit of the clan, and it is naturally supported by the whole clan, and they all say that it is a hundred times better than the previous one

It's a good thing it didn't reach the previous patriarch, otherwise I would have to vomit blood

At the same time as digging the ditch, the new patriarch introduced another item, and every family contributed one or two pieces of silver, and he was going to find someone to build a primary school in the village and purchase all the facilities inside

Mr. is taught by the children of the Zhu family in the village, and the requirements must be Xiucai or above, and those with poor character and learning are not wanted

And the school only needs a showman, two taels of silver per month, which is shared by all the clansmen surnamed Zhu, and anyone's children can come to school, no tuition, but the book fee must be paid by yourself
