Xiao Nianzhi promptly introduced Yan Nanrong and Grandpa Feng.
When the clan leader heard this...
Oh my god!
There is also a prince coming!
Then, they bowed and said hello again.
After the pleasantries ended, Xiao Nianzhi had a simple exchange with the clan leader.
When they returned to their hometown this time, besides paying homage to their parents, they also had other work to do.
Therefore, there is no need to bother with the countryside, everything has already been arranged.
Although the conditions in the town were average, Xiao Nianzhi felt that it was not bad. After supervising the affairs in Chenzhou, she could move to other places.
Moreover, there is still time, so there is no need to rush.
When the patriarch heard this, he felt a little relieved.
The clan leader was naturally happy that the children in the clan had achieved success, but when he heard that there was also a prince coming, he was actually uneasy, fearing that the one coming would be a troublesome master.
Their village is not particularly wealthy, it can only be said that their life is pretty good.
Therefore, the people in their village still don't know what will happen if they are really tormented by the nobles.
Now that I heard Xiao Nianzhi say this, I finally felt at ease.
After that, Xiao Nianzhi talked about some gifts brought back by his uncle Xiao Zhuo.
Some are unique to the capital, and these were brought here all the way by Xiao Nianzhi.
There are also some that are actually bought on the road. This is what my uncle said before, bringing some gifts to relatives, it doesn’t have to be particularly expensive, it just needs to be helpful to their lives.
A bunch of gifts are in the carriage behind.
Now Yan Nanrong's entourage helped to take it down, and the villagers, with the permission of the clan leader, also went to help.
Li Zheng was also there, and Xiao Nianzhi also talked to him.
Xiao Nianzhi looked friendly and unassuming, which made everyone feel a lot less stressed.
However, everyone is not stupid. They were warned repeatedly by the clan leader early in the morning.
Therefore, even though he saw Xiao Nianzhi being approachable and easy-going, he did not dare to be too presumptuous.
After all, everyone's identity is different from before.
Although, after Xiao's father left, they took some care of Xiao Nianzhi.
However, that was also because Father Xiao had taken care of the family in the past.
Therefore, they could not and did not want to use this small favor to coerce Xiao Nianzhi.
Although it is said that every village also has shallow eyes and only focuses on immediate interests.
However, most still take a longer-term view.
When Xiao Nianzhi became successful, it was because of the Xiao family in Lianshan Village. In the future, he would naturally not forget his roots, remember their good deeds, and take care of the village.
Therefore, at this time, what they have to do is to cooperate well and give her a face, so that they can get more things later.
Because tomorrow is the official day of worship, although Grandpa Feng felt a little anxious, he did not say that he would go up the mountain at this time.
The graves of the Xiao clan members are all on the hilltop not far behind.
The mountain is not high, but it is a mountain road, and cars will not go there immediately.
Therefore, they need to climb up by themselves tomorrow.
Because of this, Xiao Nianzhi was actually a little worried about his grandfather's health.
In response, grandpa waved his hand: "It's okay, I can do it!"
The carriages and horses have been slow lately, but he is doing well.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Nianzhi felt a little relieved.
After that, I chatted with the clan leader for a while and asked about clan matters.
The clan leader also intended to talk to Xiao Nianzhi more to reassure her.
After all, it is very easy to get involved in crimes these days, so the clan leader has to reassure Xiao Nianzhi that the management of their clan is pretty good and there won't be any trouble that will affect her again.
They sat in front of the new house of the patriarch's house, recalling the past from time to time, and talking about the future from time to time.
Naturally, Xiao Nianzhi was also concerned about the children in the clan studying.
No matter what era, it is not advisable to fight alone in the court.
Without alliances and friends, it is ultimately not a long-term solution.
Although Xiao Nianzhi doesn't want to form a gang with anyone, he still needs to have the right alliances.
In addition, by taking care of the Xiao clan and helping them gain momentum, it can be regarded as using the daughter's body and enjoying the rewards of the Feng family's care.
Xiao Nianzhi now has a stable income, a large sum of money from his grandfather, and many shops and fields.
From now on, the income will just keep coming, so there is no need to worry.
In this way, ethnology can be considered.
However, considering that there are not many households in the village, the ethnic group is still a bit too conspicuous.
Therefore, first just set up a school in the village and invite one or two teachers to teach. After that, when you are successful, you can send it to the county school or the government school to continue your studies.
As for the cost?
She doesn't need to consider every aspect, she just needs to give money to the clan.
As for how to divide the money?
That depends on the clan leader’s management ability.
You can't spend a lot of money. Xiao Nianzhi has figured out all the specific details and little things, so let her plan them carefully, right?
Xiao Nianzhi thought about it and discussed it with the clan leader.
Of course, Xiao Nianzhi did not directly say that he paid for it himself, but also included his uncle Xiao Zhuo and his grandfather Feng's family.
Originally, this included more than just his own money, so this favor must be remembered by the Xiao family.
When the clan leader heard this, he was immediately elated.
Study!
Who doesn’t know that only by studying can one be successful?
Even if you have no talent, after you learn how to read and write, you can go to the town or the county and do some errand work.
Although these jobs may not necessarily pay as much as those working as coolies.
But at least it’s easy and decent!
However, everyone knows very clearly that the cost of studying is too expensive.
Whether it's repairs or pen and ink, it costs money.
Adding all these things together can easily bring down a home.
Now that I heard that Xiao Nianzhi was willing to invest money in the clan, how could the clan leader be unhappy?
The two people discussed this issue in detail.
Afterwards, Xiao Nianzhi brought Grandpa Feng along again, giving him a sense of participation.
After all, she said, the Feng family was involved in this.
This was considered a potential investment. When Grandpa Feng heard about it, he naturally became interested and actively helped.
Because if one of these people is promising, he will think of the Feng family to some extent in the future and will also be of great help to the Feng family.
Yan Nanrong was listening on the side...
Well, I don’t understand, so I’d better watch the children circling in the distance.
The children looked at the luxurious carriage and couldn't control it, and they didn't dare to get close.
Therefore, at this time, I only dare to look in circles from a farther distance.
Yan Nanrong found it interesting, but he couldn't get involved in the topic here, so he just sat there and watched the fun.
There are some things that make time fly very quickly once you talk about them.
The morning passed quickly, and when it was approaching noon, the clan leader naturally invited Xiao Nianzhi and the others to have dinner at his home.
My family has been preparing for this for a long time.
However, because of the hot weather, many things could not be stored.
Meat, eggs and the like were specially prepared this morning.
Some are delivered by various families, and some are bought in the town.
They showed all the sincerity they could.
Even so, they were still uneasy, fearing that the noble people who came would not like their food.
