Chapter 551: Ethnography
The purpose of Gu Changbai's return this time was to let Gu Changqing go to the capital, so that he could naturally live in the Gu Mansion.
I didn't expect Gu Changqing's family to have such a plan, so it would save him a lot of words.
"Third brother! I don't see any elders in Xiaobao's mansion in the capital, so it's better for you to follow. β
After Gu Changbai finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu didn't even look back. Do you think that if you instigate his father and mother to go to the capital, you can live in his mansion with him?
I have to say, it's so naΓ―ve. One day he doesn't want to play, and there is a way to clean them up.
"The capital must be very prosperous, right? It's just too far, and it's not easy to go back to the capital and return to your hometown. "The farthest place Uncle Gu has been to is Fucheng, how far away the capital is, he can't imagine.
Only then did Gu Chengyu turn around and smile: "Uncle! In the future, if Brother Hua is admitted to show talent and raise people, you can also go to the capital to enjoy happiness! β
Uncle Gu pinned his hopes on Gu Wanhua, so it made Uncle Gu happier than directly inviting Uncle Gu to the capital to play.
It's a pity that Uncle Gu didn't show joy when he heard it this time, but sighed slightly. The face was even more gloomy, and at first glance, he knew that there was something troublesome.
Gu Chengyu guessed that something should have happened to Gu Wanhua. He remembered that Gu Wanhuana's concubine before, who seemed to be called Yanbi, was distracted and didn't have the heart to take the imperial examination?
"Second brother, you and your younger siblings have just come back, and the luggage must not have been regulated. When you're settled, we'll talk about it. β
Uncle Gu lost the interest he had just now, he stood up and said to Gu Changbai.
Lu Shi pricked up his ears at this moment, what does this mean? Does the uncle mean that he wants to leave people in her house?
But where does her family have a place to live? I'm afraid it's inconvenient to live in the yard of her house, right?
There are only two ear rooms next to the main house, Xiaobao sleeps in one, Gu Changbai and his wife can't sleep in the other room, right? It always feels awkward.
"Oh! Second brother, do you say you live in the third brother's house, or follow me back? Uncle Gu then remembered that now the third brother's family has been divided, and the originally spacious courtyard is now separated, and it is not as spacious as it used to be.
Although the big house does not live here, the house is locked, and there are some miscellaneous items piled up inside.
Of course Gu Changbai won't go to the eldest brother's house, isn't the purpose of his coming back to be the third brother's family?
Besides, he had already asked about the general situation of the Gu family just now, the Gu family really made a fortune in only three rooms, and the eldest brother's family only made a small living, how could it be compared with three rooms?
"My previous luggage has been moved into the yard, this? You see......"
Gu Changbai couldn't speak directly, otherwise he would be suspected of disliking the eldest brother. Besides, Gu Changqing didn't speak, and he was embarrassed to say directly that he would stay, wouldn't he?
Gu Changbai's unfinished meaning, the other people in the room understood.
Saying this, although Uncle Gu was a little unhappy, since the second brother said so, he was not good at forcing it.
Besides, the third brother's family has a good life, and the second brother is indeed better off in the third brother's house than his family, and he can save himself from muttering to his mother-in-law.
Daddy Gu felt a little strange in his heart, shouldn't he have said that he would go to anyone's house for such a thing?
Before he could speak, why did the second brother decide? However, he didn't think much about it afterwards, the three of them were brothers, and it didn't matter who they lived in.
Although his house is not very spacious, the old family does not have no empty houses, so let the boss clean up one first and let them live in it.
In addition, there are guest rooms in the front yard, but they are not as spacious as the inner courtyard.
"Big brother! Let the second brother live here! Our yard is more spacious than yours, and you don't have to move your luggage around. β
Gu Changbai saw that Father Gu had opened his mouth, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
Although Gu Chengyu was disgusted that Gu Changbai moved in, he couldn't stop it.
It seems that the purpose of Gu Changbai's return is that he has to find an opportunity to talk to his father and mother, so that they will not be calculated by Gu Changbai.
"Little treasure! Da Bo Ming'er called a few clansmen to talk to you about the banquet, the archway of the champion has been set up for you, you were admitted to the champion and became an official in the capital, we can't wait. β
Gu Chengyu nodded, it doesn't matter if the archway is erected, it's the same sooner or later anyway.
"You have to open an ancestral hall while you're still at home, so that you have to tell your ancestors about the glory of your ancestors."
Uncle Gu thought about it, there were really a lot of things after Gu Chengyu came back.
"Uncle! I can only stay at home for a few months, and then I have to leave for Beijing, and some of the tedious things are still simple. β
"In such a hurry? When you come back, there will naturally be more people who come to visit, and I'm afraid this month will be very busy. β
Uncle Gu still understands these people's sophistication, Gu Chengyu is back this time, those classmates and friends can meet them, right? And the master also has to pay a visit.
Although the identity is different now, you still have to abide by the respect for the teacher.
Of course, Gu Chengyu knew that he had already made plans before he came back, and there were really a lot of things to do when he came back this time.
"Uncle! I heard that the Yang family in our village has set up a small private school, so let's Gu family also run one. There's no need for a private school, so let's run a family school! β
Because the Yang family had set up a private school in the village before, and the children in the nearby villages all went to school in the Yang family's private school, Gu Chengyu didn't think about running a clan school.
But now that the rules of the clan have risen, he plans to buy some more fields for the clan to go to school.
If you send money to someone else's private school, it is better to run one yourself, and the master you invited from your own house is more at ease. If you are not satisfied, you can change the master.
"Ethnology?" Daddy Gu is a little strange, there is a private school in the village, why do you need to run any ethnic studies?
But Uncle Gu has some insight, he heard before that those big families have ethnology. It would be good if the Gu clan could have genealogy, but the fields in the clan didn't know if they could support the expenses of genealogy.
"Of course, it's good to have ethnography, and it's barely possible to have those thirty acres of land." Uncle Gu sat down again and calculated, the little babies of the Gu family all came to study, it was definitely not enough.
If you only pick a few smart and clever ones, it should be enough.
Gu Chengyu knew that Uncle Gu was embarrassed, he originally added ten acres of land to the clan when he was admitted to Xiucai, and later he was admitted to the Juren and added another twenty acres to the clan, which is thirty acres of land.
The life of the clansmen is not easy, and if they have to pay out of their own pockets for the children to go to school, they must be really reluctant.
If the clan can be freed from the shackles, and help on the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, then the adults in the family should be willing.
"Uncle! I'll add another fifty acres of land to the clan, so it shouldn't be too little, right? β
Gu Chengyu also did this for the prosperity of the clan, if there is a child who can get out of the world by studying, then he can be regarded as doing good things for the clan.
