Chapter 186: Beating Gongs and Drums
Looking up, the distant mountains are empty.
Gu Chengyu and the others were getting closer and closer to the village, and even Mingmo and the others were speeding up the carriage.
As the old saying goes, the gold nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, although this is rough, but this is not rough!
There were no pedestrians on the road, it was already approaching evening at this time, and Gu Chengyu was eager to return to their hometown. Seeing that the carriage was about to drive into the village, Gu Chengyu was looking towards the Gu family's courtyard.
"Ouch hey! It's the master who lifts people back! Aunt Wang happened to come out of the Gu family's courtyard with a handful of lentils in her hand. There are lentils planted in the courtyard of the Gu family, and sometimes there are so many that they can't eat them all, so they will ask familiar people to pick them.
When Aunt Wang saw the carriage that was about to arrive at the entrance of the village, wasn't it Mingmo and Mingyan who were sitting on it? She slapped her thigh and ran towards the village. The old man has returned to the village, and he has to tell the patriarch of the Gu family.
Mingmo was confused by Aunt Wang's actions, Childe is back, what is Aunt Wang running? Aunt Wang likes his son-in-law, if she sees her in the past, she will definitely say a few words.
Gu Chengyu was sitting in the carriage, and he had already heard Aunt Wang's loud voice, and he felt that Aunt Wang was still so cute.
The car had already driven into the entrance of the village, and was about to reach the big tree, but Gu Chengyu heard the noise of gongs and drums in the village, and he didn't hear it just now! Whose family is going to do a happy event? He didn't hear that the girls and boys in the neighborhood said they kissed.
Mingmo drove the carriage, looked forward, and found that it was Li Zheng, that is, Gu Chengyu's uncle, who actually led a group of people to the entrance of the village with gongs and drums.
"Childe! Look, isn't that your patriarch? Ming Yan shouted and asked Gu Chengyu to take a look, after all, there were many people who came over, blocking the road to the entrance of the village, and he was about to arrive home.
Gu Chengyu heard this, and hurriedly opened the curtain to see that he was really the patriarch's uncle. The group of people who followed behind turned out to be members of the Gu clan, and there were some villagers on the side, and Aunt Wang was also among them.
Some people are blowing suona, some people are playing drums, the patriarch's face is obviously excited, and the clansmen behind him are all full of smiles, as if they have encountered some great joy, and the villagers next to him are envious, all standing aside to watch the excitement.
Gu Chengyu understood that this might be to greet him, because he was admitted to the Juren, the only Juren in the village, and the only person in the clan who had a meritorious reputation.
"The master is back!" The tribesmen stopped blowing, and they all looked at the carriage and shouted.
Gu Chengyu naturally couldn't stay in the carriage at this time, he got out of the carriage and prepared to salute the clansmen.
"Uncle, third uncle, seventh uncle, brother Chengming......" There are many people in the Gu family, and Gu Chengyu can't recognize them all, so he nodded and said hello if he didn't know him, anyway, he is a big generation, and some of them are his juniors.
Sure enough, there are many clansmen who call him uncle, and there are even those who call him uncle.
"Good, good! You really lived up to expectations and were admitted to the Juren, which can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors of the Gu family. Our Gu clan finally jumped up and became a scholar clan, this is all your credit! ”
With tears in his eyes, Uncle Gu patted Gu Chengyu's shoulder and said three good words in a row!
The previous generations of the Gu family also had a few scholars, but none of them were famous. Gu Chengyu doesn't care if he can be named on the gold list, he can also be awarded an official just by raising people.
"Little treasure! Our Gu clan has finally raised his eyebrows, you really have a chance. ”
This was said by the third uncle, Gu Chengyu hurriedly stepped forward to support him, the third uncle was not young, but he didn't expect to come out to greet him.
There will not necessarily be a lifter in these ten miles and eight townships, but it is conceivable that there is a lifter in Shangling Village, what a glorious thing it is. What's more, it's still the Gu family, and the clansmen can be more or less stained with light, even if they go out, their waists are straight.
If you want to talk about benefits, you can hang the sacrificial field and not say it, whoever causes something, you are looking for someone with merit to talk about Xiang Pingping. Therefore, there are many clans that rely on the presence of big officials in the clan to do evil, and there are not a few such clans. However, it depends on the binding power of the patriarch. As long as someone in the clan becomes a big official and the clan is willing to manage it well, life will not be bad.
The most important thing is to be able to sustain future generations. As long as there are children in the clan who are sent to study, if any one is a little promising, promotion is indispensable, which is one more shortcut than others.
Therefore, such a good thing cannot be left unexcited.
"But my little treasure is back?"
When Gu Chengyu heard it, this was Daddy Gu's voice.
When Father Gu heard the movement outside, he guessed that his old son had returned. Hurriedly walked out of the courtyard of the Gu family, and saw a bunch of people standing in front of him. He hurriedly opened the crowd and saw Gu Chengyu standing inside.
"Daddy!" Gu Chengyu walked a few steps quickly and grabbed Father Gu.
"Good! Come back, go back to dinner, your mother asked your mother-in-law to burn ribs for you. "Father Gu only saw his son in his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to the clansmen at all.
"Ahem! Third brother! Xiaobao has just come back, we still want to talk about the archway and the plaque, and we want to open the ancestral hall! Uncle Gu said with an excited expression, and the clansmen behind him also nodded again and again.
"Big brother! Xiaobao finally came back, it took more than half a month on the road, and he was already tired, so let him go home and rest! I'll talk about that later. "Father Gu is of course excited that his son has been admitted to the lifting of people. However, his mother-in-law is still waiting at home!
Uncle Gu patted his head when he heard this, "Yes, yes, yes!" Patronized and happy, I didn't expect these. Xiaobao went back to rest quickly, the boat was tiring, and he also suffered a lot when he thought about it. ”
Subsequently, Gu Chengyu thanked Uncle Gu and the clansmen, and followed Father Gu back to the courtyard of the Gu family.
As soon as Gu Chengyu entered the inner courtyard, he found that his mother had gotten off the kang and was standing in the courtyard with Gu Wan waiting for him!
"Mother! Second sister! ”
"Xiaobao!" Lu Shi looked at his son standing in front of him, and only felt that two or three months had been like two or three years.
"Xiaobao is back?" Gu Chengli was also in the courtyard, and when he saw the little brother who came back, he smiled in surprise.
Gu Chengyu turned around and shouted, "Big brother, second brother!" ”
He was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Gu Chengyi to be there. I saw that although Gu Chengyi didn't have a smiling face, he might be afraid that Gu's father was there, so he also hummed and went back to the house. Gu Chengyu was used to his attitude, as long as he didn't make trouble, he didn't bother to pay attention.
Just shout on the surface, and other times, they never speak.
"Did the eldest brother eat it? Come to the main house to eat. "At this time, it was time to have dinner, Gu Chengyu also wanted to get together with the eldest brother, as for the second brother, he didn't think about it at all. Anyway, he has a bad relationship with his second brother, everyone knows it.
The third and fourth brothers are not at home, they are both in the town shop. They don't know that he will come back today, so tomorrow will go and carry a letter.
"Your sister-in-law has already burned it." Gu Chengli refused.
Father Gu looked at his loyal eldest son, and also said, "Let's eat in the main house today!" ”
Father Gu wanted to call the second child as well, but he couldn't make up his mind in a blink of an eye. called, with the temperament of the second child, I'm afraid it's a little disappointing. Don't call it! It's not good to call the boss, not the second.
