Thinking of this, Gu Rong paused slightly, there was no surprise on the faces of the Gu clan people in the ancestral hall, Gu Huai looked left and right, and knew it in his heart.

It turned out to be waiting for himself here.

That way, the fact that they invited them to drink can be explained... It's nothing more than knocking on the side to find out how he made his family, how much money he has, and when he heard that he was doing business in Beiping, he wanted to slaughter himself as a pig that year.

Three hundred taels of silver... Used to repair the ancestral hall? It's enough to have another ancestral hall.

His body moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound, just quietly listened to Gu Rong finish reading the list before he spoke: "Wait, I have something I want to ask." ”

Gu Rong looked over: "Gu Huai, what do you want to say?" ”

"I don't understand, why the Gu clan's various branches only need to go out..."

"There are no rules! When the patriarch asked, he didn't even know that he bowed, this was the family ancestral hall! The third prince paused his crutches again, and pointed at Gu Huai with trembling fingers: "What sage book did you read?" Is he a reader? ”

Gu Huai was silent for a moment, his forehead was tense, but he still eased up, did not say anything to the old man, and bowed slightly: "Patriarch, the juniors don't understand, why is there only ten taels of silver at most in each room, but the juniors have to pay three hundred taels?" ”

I've been waiting for you to ask this for a long time.

Gu Rong stroked his beard with a smile, yin and yang weird: "Well... Naturally, it is calculated taking into account the financial resources of each house, most of my Gu children make a living from farming and studying, and their family backgrounds are different, but the honest ones are not as good as you, you see that you come back to build a lot of construction and spend money like flowing water, and now who in Qing'an Town does not know that you Gu Huai has made a fortune? After all, it's a family, what if you can work harder, what if you have more? ”

Gu Huai straightened up and seemed to smile: "Back then, when my father was in business, not only the clansmen criticized, but the patriarchs also reprimanded and opposed it, and it was even more difficult everywhere, but now the clan wants me to bear so much burden in this house?" ”

Gu Rong's eyes drooped slightly, and before he could speak, the third prince on the side waved his crutches again: "Cultivating and reading heirlooms, that is the ancestral training set by the ancestors!" Abandoning agriculture and engaging in business is to be willing to be cheap! At the beginning, the old man said that no matter how rich he is, it is still a lowly business, even now, it is still like this! ”

This old man is really annoying...

Gu Huai's hanging hand clenched into a fist slightly, but after seeing the plaque hanging on the ancestral hall, he still retreated helplessly.

I am a modern person, and the concept of clan is different from these people... But no matter how you say it, they are still elders, this ancestral hall is also dedicated to the ancestors of the Gu family, no matter how sorry these people are for Gu Renli's father and son, presumably if they are alive, they must be very in favor of repairing the ancestral hall.

He could do it before, but it was because these people had touched Gu Huai's bottom line, but he should always make some efforts to repair the ancestral hall.

He didn't have three hundred silver left in the south, and if he really wanted to take it out, he would have to touch the military expenses of the secret spy department, according to his estimates, the Gu family's twenty or thirty households had bits and pieces of silver, and he would give another one hundred taels, which would be enough.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes slightly, and recognized the matter.

Gu Rong smiled proudly, put away the roster, and continued in high spirits: "This second thing is the righteousness in the clan, my Gu clan is spreading branches and leaves, and it is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more and more school-appropriate children in the clan, but the scale of the original Yixue private school is not enough, three acres of thin land, how many gentlemen can be raised?" Time has passed, the scale of this Yitian should also be expanded, and the clan has decided to expand the Yitian to 30 acres! In this way, not only can you hire a few more gentlemen and expand the private school, but you can also give some help to the people who are studying! ”

As soon as these words came out, the clansmen in the courtyard were a little commotion, the Gu family cultivated and read the heirloom, the private school in the clan is important, but the field is the lifeblood of every family! Thirty acres of land is spread out for a family of more than one acre, so it doesn't make people feel distressed to death?

Seeing this, Gu Rong stretched out his hand and pressed it, and said loudly: "Of course, this matter of Yitian is also the same as offering money to repair the ancestral hall, and there is no need to share it!" I, Gu Rong, as the patriarch, although my family background is average, I should also set an example and donate five acres of good paddy fields! ”

The clansmen applauded and admired one after another, Gu Rong stroked his beard, bowed his head slightly, and looked at Gu Huai: "This is another field..."

Gu Huai seemed to smile: "Patriarch, my family doesn't have any land, and the ancestral house has not been repaired, so I won't want to go out of this field, right?" ”

"If you don't have any land, you can pay for it," Gu Rong said with a smile, "You can pay as much as the market price of these twenty-five acres of land, and when the time comes, the clan will buy it from the outside and prosper the clan learning, but it is a great thing for future generations!" ”

The third prince also smiled, and there were not a few teeth left in his swarthy mouth: "Your house has not contributed to the clan for so many years, but the clan still did not return the house allocated to you, and now you have returned to your hometown in fine clothes, and your family is rich and rich, so it is time to contribute." ”

At this moment, Gu Huai only felt that his decision to give out a hundred taels of silver just now was a mistake.

He shook his head, shook his sleeves and turned around to walk out of the ancestral hall: "It's funny! ”

"Bold!" Gu Rong's face changed, "Obviously, the family is well-off, but you don't even want to pay for the renovation of the ancestral hall and donate to the family?" Do you still have a clan in your eyes? But are there still these relatives? Great rebellion! ”

"Loved ones? Is this also considered a relative? Gu Huai sneered and turned around, "Take away my ancestral house, insult my parents, and feel that Gu has some money, so I can't wait to tear it up and crumple it as a fat sheep and swallow it, this is what you call relatives?" ”

"You..."Gu Rong was extremely angry, "This is the ancestral hall of the clan!" Aren't you afraid of being expelled from the family tree and causing your deceased father Gu Renli to die without turning a blind eye? ”

Gu Huai looked at Gu Rong steadily, seeing that his whole body was cold, and his hands and feet were cold, he smiled coldly: "I can't ask for it!" ”

Seeing that Gu Huai was about to walk out of the ancestral hall gate when he turned around, Gu Rong gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "There is no respect for the elders, and it is extremely rude!" Come on, practice patriarchy! ”

There were a few shouts among the clansmen who were originally watching the play, and several young people in the clan with big shoulders and round waists walked out to block Gu Huai's way, stretched out their big hands and grabbed them.

This move is not excessive, in this era, even the law can not interfere with the clan to the clan's descendants who are recognized as violating the clan rules of the patriarchal law, as long as it is not killed on the spot, the government will not investigate, in fact, even if it is a punishment such as dipping in a pig cage, as long as it is a fait accompli, the government also acquiesces, you must know that the government is not omnipotent after all, in remote places, often the clan speaks more effectively than the government, and the clan law is more popular than the law.

After all, the family is the country, the family is the epitome of the country, and the clan management can also save the imperial court a lot of effort, but Gu Huai is a person in the future after all, and he is subconsciously defenseless against this kind of thing, I heard that he is coming to the ancestral ancestral hall, so he simply didn't even bring Wei Laosan, and asked him to escort Tsundere Lori home, at this time he is in danger, if Gu Rongxin is ruthless...

Thinking of this, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he shouted: "Who dares?!" ”

The young men in the clan were basically standing at the back of the queue just now, and their rank was not as good as Gu Huai, and the figure of Gu Huai waving the whistle stick that night was also left in their minds, and they couldn't help but be a little afraid, and when they saw Gu Huai being furious, they couldn't help but shrink their necks and stop moving.

Gu Huai put his hands behind his back and shouted at the man in front: "Get out!" I'm your uncle! ”

The man was so frightened that he unconsciously got out of the way, Gu Huai flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly and walked away.

Seeing that this kid was so rude even in the ancestral ancestral hall, the clansmen became a little angry, but Gu Rong and the third prince above didn't say anything, but the corners of their mouths were sinister.

Little Bunny... If you don't ruin your future and ruin your reputation this time, how can you be worthy of the ancestral ancestral hall behind you?

The two looked at each other and understood.

It's time for Nian'er to do it.
