This is the case in this dynasty, when you become an official, you have to give back to the clan. Although he didn't help in the reading family, he didn't need to be so slammed with this bit of silver.

"Fifty acres! That's too much, are you really willing to do it? It's given to the clan, but it's not going to come back. "Uncle Gu knows that Gu Chengyu has always been generous and affectionate to the clan.

But he was not shocked when he was given so many fields at once.

"Now that I've made a decision, how can I go back? That's it, Uncle took the time to talk to the clansmen. The patriarch asked the uncle to see which part of the village was better, and we bought the land with money. I don't have many days at home, so I try to get the family studies done before I leave. ”

Uncle Gu pondered for a while, and then said, "If you really want to do it, it will definitely not be long." It takes more effort to build a house, and I will call some people in my clan to build the house. ”

Of course, Gu Chengyu wouldn't bother with this, but when Uncle Gu mentioned the mansion, he interjected.

"If the clan has any problems, you can also come to me." Now that the clan land has been given, Gu Chengyu will no longer be stingy with the money to build a house.

Compared with the house at home, the study of building a family is definitely simpler, and the layout inside is even simpler, and it doesn't cost much silver.

"That's good! Withdraw it from the clan's public account first, and you will have to worry more about the master's affairs. ”

Uncle Gu thought about the silver in the clan's account, and there were about seventy or eighty taels left, and he built a mud brick house and covered the roof with tiles.

Gu Chengyu was also settling accounts, and the remaining silver in the clan that relied on the land in the past few years was actually not much. At that time, he only gave ten acres of land to the clan, although it was tax-free, but there was not much land, and there was less money left.

Later, he was admitted to the Juren and then had thirty acres of land, and this year, the silver in the clan did not exceed one hundred taels.

The house of the building of the clan may not be enough, since it is going to be built, then simply build a bigger one. As for the material, it is naturally a brick house.

It seems that 80 acres of land is still less, there are many children in the clan, and there will be newborns basically every two years. There is no contraception here, and it is not uncommon for a couple to have seven or eight.

In the future, the more you spend on studying every year, so when you buy land, you should make up a hundred acres for the clan!

It's not that Gu Chengyu is reluctant to give up the silver and doesn't want to add more to the clan. He was afraid that his people would become more and more greedy. He has never received the favor of the clan, on the contrary, he has helped the clan a lot.

Don't say that the clansmen have made money for each family to set up the archway, in fact, the Gu family has always been a big head. And after that, Gu Chengyu will send the same gift to the past, and he will never let everyone suffer.

Besides, the benefits brought by this archway are not enjoyed by him alone, and the most benefited is still in the clan.

If the appetite of these people is raised, and the help he gives to the clan is taken for granted, then there will definitely be a lot of right and wrong in the future.

After calculating the money, he was afraid that Uncle Gu would be reluctant to build a brick house, so he said it to the surface.

"Uncle! The house of the clan should be made of bricks and tiles, but not mud bricks. Ethnology is one of the proofs that reflect the rise of our Gu family, and this time we have to do it brightly. ”

"Ahh That's not a lot of money. Uncle Gu didn't want Gu Chengyu to really come out, after all, the clan study was from the children of the clan, and he also knew it in his heart.

A few years ago, he really did something wrong about the grain seeds, the Changqing family can get such good grain seeds, it is his own family's ability, why did he let the Changqing family help the village change grain seeds for free?

That's a lot of money, and the loss is his own brother. When he took office as a new official, he was inevitably a little impetuous, and he was bent on making achievements, which almost hurt the harmony of the two families.

You must know that his position in Lizheng is still obtained by relying on Xiaobao, and he turned around to calculate his brother when he became Lizheng, which is really chilling.

Later, he became a lizheng for half a year, and he figured it out himself. It's just that I can't pull my face to talk about it, but I always remember the care that the third family has taken care of me over the years.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Don't be afraid to spend money, it's all for the sake of the babies." As I said, not enough come to me. The clan study can be passed down from generation to generation. ”

This is the sentence of the previous life, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education.

Uncle Gu also knew that Gu Chengyu was right, Uncle Gu bowed, "Then if the money in the clan is not enough, I will go to every household in the clan to make up for it, anyway, they will benefit in the future." It is not enough to look for you again, lest thou get accustomed to taking money, and all thy people shall point their fingers at thee. ”

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he heard this, he glanced at Uncle Gu, and was a little surprised by Uncle Gu's obvious change.

But in the end, I didn't say anything about this matter, as the patriarch, I have to be fair, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.

"Then Uncle Lao will bother, and the banquet will have to be done with the help of the uncle." Such an Uncle Gu is dedicated to the sake of the clan and deserves Gu Chengyu's respect.

"Ahem! Xiaobao, where do you see your second uncle and second aunt live? Why don't you clean up the ear room next to it? ”

When Father Gu saw that the two of them were finished talking about business, he brought up the question of which room Gu Changbai should live in.

To be honest, the ear house next to it is not big, and it doesn't seem crowded for the two of them, but they haven't seen each other for so many years, and both sides have a sense of strangeness.

Immediately got together to live, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

Gu Chengyu thought about it, there was a guest room in the front yard, but it was obviously inappropriate to let the two of them live, and the villagers who came and went would have opinions on this matter when they knew about it.

The front yard is a general or single male guest with a general relationship with the main family, and they also have a second aunt Liu, but they can't live, so as not to let people talk behind their backs.

The ear room is definitely not good, living so close, their whole family is uncomfortable, and it is inconvenient for him to talk to his father and mother. Even if the walls can be soundproofed, if Gu Changbai and them have no rules and enter and exit the main room at will, it will be disgusting to death.

Gu Changbai glanced at Gu Chengyu, who was silent, and the third brother who showed a little embarrassment on his face, his heart sank slightly, is this not welcome for him to live in?

Gu Chengyu may have some opinions about him, after all, there was an unpleasant quarrel between the two because of the eldest granddaughter's affair before, but why did the third child think like this? Do you really look down on him as a second brother?

Gu Changbai didn't know that Gu Chengyu had guessed his intentions, and had already obtained evidence from Gu Wanfang, thinking that Gu Chengyu didn't know his abacus. Even if there is suspicion, there is no evidence.

After all, it was all arranged in Yingnanfu, and that person also found a child who died of illness as a stand-in. He saw that his face was full of pus, and even he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Isn't the ear room next to it always been the eldest sister's family who came back to live? When I hold a banquet this time, the eldest sister should be back. ”
