Because Ding Zhuang is going to be the patriarch, he feels that he has to be like an official. Those people should be beaten when they make trouble, but if they are broken, they still have to pay money to treat their diseases. He gave ten taels of silver to the two men whose bones were broken, and no one else was responsible.

Five people on his side were slightly injured, and they were given a hundred wen to the usual money. Ding Sanfu was the most seriously injured, and he worked hard in the fight, giving two pieces of money. Other people who came to help, including craftsmen from "Bao Tie", each had two catties of meat.

In a few days, his family invited guests and people from his clan and those who helped him to eat and drink.

also told Bai Dazhang to take charge of the matter, and opened all the children who came to make trouble.

Ding Zhuang was busy, and took out fifty taels of silver to let Ding Youcai of Beiquan Village and Ding Zhuan of Nanquan Village buy land to find someone to build an ancestral hall, and the two ancestors supervised.

He pointed to Ding Youcai's nose and said, "Lao Tzu will give you a chance, if you dare to fight the idea of this silver, Lao Tzu will no longer take care of your family in the future, and he will break your dog's leg."

Ding Zhuang felt that although Ding Youcai had a lot of problems, if he taught him well, he could still do something for the family. Ding Li and Ding Youshou are hopeless, so Ding Youcai is optimistic. Ding Dafu was unproductive, and He looked at it.

Through several times of troubles by the clansmen, Ding Zhuang felt that he had to pay close attention to the clansmen in order to cause less trouble to his family. Especially if their children and grandchildren want to go to other places to become officials, they can't let the old family go to the township under their guise.

The patriarch is important.

In the future, if he wants to follow his children and grandchildren to the capital, he must find a trustworthy person to be the patriarch. We must not only look good at these families, but also look good at the ancestral tombs.

Even if the Ding family in the capital is divided in the future, it will have to maintain a good relationship with the patriarch here.

His family's ancestral grave is here, and An An is buried here

In the future, when he dies of old age, he will come back to accompany An An.

Ding Shan's family is leaving, none of the men who stayed at home in the big house have become talents, and the second ancestor is old, so he has to let Ding Xuan help take care of it. Ding Xuan is the son of his cousin, and the relationship is a little distant, so Ding Youcai assists him......

If you set the rules of the clan well, whoever violates the rules of the clan will be dealt with immediately.

Ding Zhuang played a trick and didn't say who was in charge of the silver.

Ding Youcai was excited, for the first time in his life, he was a big use, and he made promises one after another.

He knew the virtues of his daughter-in-law and third son, and he also knew that his ears were soft, so he didn't dare to touch the money, but took the initiative to hand over the silver to Ding Xuanguan......

Ding Zhuang was very satisfied with Ding Youcai's move.

He sealed another five taels of silver, and carried two jars of wine to the town to find Mr. Li, asking him to help write the "family rules".

Lilac felt that her grandfather was becoming more and more a leader. She is not interested in those things, her family has nothing to do, and her grandfather is also an official, which is a good thing.

After exaggerating a few words without hesitation, he reminded him that the most optimistic people in this clan are Ding Sanfu and the Wang family.

Although Ding Youshou is bad, irresponsible, and not responsible, he is timid and does not dare to cause big things.

And Ding Sanfu is especially like a few-stirring sticks of that clan, bad, lazy, stupid and bold. I am most afraid that he will cause trouble, or be provoked to do bad things.

Although Ding Sanfu helped his family fight this time, his character was really not good.

The Wang family has a bad mouth, and many things come from the mouth......

Ding Zhuang said, "I know the virtue of the three rich, and I won't let him stay in the countryside as a bastard all the time, and when he is two years older and thrown into the army, let the two rich people watch it."

Thinking that the Wang family was like Ding Xia's family, Ding Zhuang was very annoyed by her. If that stinky girl was his daughter-in-law, he would have divorced her back to her parents' house.

Look at it again, if she commits an unforgivable thing, Ding Youcai will not divorce her, and he will divorce her as the patriarch.

A few days later, Ding Xuan and Ding Youcai found a vacant lot on the north side of Beiquan Village. I specially asked the Taoist priest to see it, and said that the feng shui was excellent.

Ding Zhuang and the second ancestor also agreed, and the ancestral hall was built there.

By the middle of July, the fruit on the apple tree had grown to the size of a fist, and a small amount of fruit was still tinged red. The number is much higher than that of the previous year, and the growth is gratifying.

Hundreds of apple trees have been planted in the orchard on the side of the mountain, and although they vary in size, the red apple orchard that Lilac had in mind when she was a child has begun to take shape

Scale.

Ding's ancestral hall was also built.

A stone tablet was erected outside the ancestral hall, and Ding Zhuang asked Mr. Li to write a text praising himself and Ding Zhao for adding glory to the ancestors, and invited the ancestors' tablets in.

On the fifteenth day, Ding Zhuang took all the clansmen of his clan to worship their ancestors.

Lilac also went. It was the first time the women went, and the last time they went, except for the women who had broken the rules and were dragged in to be punished.

The ancestral hall is built behind a forest in the north of the village, by the mountains and rivers, sitting in the north and facing south, very imposing, and the ancestral hall of the Xia family is far compared to it.

Maybe it's a psychological effect, as soon as you enter, you feel eerie and solemn.

Ding Zhuang stood at the front, recited the clan rules loudly, and expressed his determination to the ancestors.

Kneel down and kowtow.

After coming out, all the clansmen went to Ding Zhuang's house for a banquet.

These families are very happy, there are few clansmen, the patriarch is rich, and life is much better than before.

Early in the morning of the nineteenth, Lilac got up early and found a set of silver-red embroidered Luo skirts to wear.

Today is her real birthday, and she turns nine years old.

The east courtyard in the morning light is beautiful and peaceful, and the leaves swirl in the morning breeze. The mountains in the distance are hidden in the morning mist, and it is impossible to see the true face, as mysterious as a fairyland.

Lilac came to the kitchen in the west courtyard and offered to eat noodles.

Li Maigao's family was busy, He would do it, and Zhang was watching from the sidelines.

Breakfast is still the same, pancakes, buns, eggs, rice porridge, and a bowl of boiled milk for cloves.

Hearing that the girl wanted to eat noodles, Zhang immediately rolled up her sleeves and made it herself.

Lilac hugged Zhang's back and coquettishly.

Zhang smiled and said, "I will be nine years old tomorrow, and I am still coquettish with my mother."

Li Maigao said with a smile, "My sister is nineteen years old, twenty-nine years old, and she will still be coquettish with her wife. Hello daughter, daughter is the mother's intimate little padded jacket. It's a pity that the old slave was not blessed, and only gave birth to two boys."

He Hui smiled and said, "My mother wants her son every day, so Aunt Li will be content."

I made eggs and leeks, marinated noodles, and shredded noodles with mushrooms and meat.

Ding Zhuang saw it and ate noodles with his granddaughter.

Seeing off her grandfather, Lilac sat in the backyard pavilion and thought about her thoughts.

The morning mist had not yet completely dissipated, and it was floating in the mountains one by one.

Feifei lay on the stone table, staring at his sister with soybean eyes. Heiwa squatted aside, puffing out her bigger eyes, looking at this, and then at that

The courtyard was very quiet.

Nine years ago, she was born in that splendid pile and came to this home in a circle.

In nine years, the family has changed dramatically. From well-off to poor, and then to extremely rich, now my father and eldest brother have become officials, my grandfather has become a patriarch, and my second brother has been admitted to Tongsheng......

Except for a few special events, her life is happy, leisurely, comfortable, and joyful.

Even if she is content with the status quo and does not expose the fake Xunxiang, it is not surprising that she and her family will have to enter Beijing and enter a new world in the year after tomorrow.
