In fact, he also wanted to buy some fields to count as clan fields for the clan, so as to provide some pens, ink, paper and inkstones for the clan's children who wanted to go to school.
Based on the family's production in the past two years, one acre of land can be sold for 450 taels of silver if all is sold! Ten acres is 450 taels, which is a lot of money. Besides, after harvesting rice or wheat, you can also plant some.
Bean farming land.
"What? Are you really willing to build an ancestral hall?" Uncle Gu was very excited about this. The Gu family's ancestral hall should have been built a long time ago, but he didn't have enough money, so he kept putting it off. Now Gu Chengyu asked, "Why?"
Not exciting?
"Why didn't I listen to you?" Father Gu felt that it was sudden. After all, Gu Chengyu had never mentioned it to his family before.
"When we talked about building archways, I just remembered that the ancestral hall is too dilapidated!"
"I'm very happy that you can think of this. You are now a scholar. It's really not decent if the ancestral hall is not repaired. Let's do this! I don't want you to go out alone. I'll ask everyone and let everyone contribute some money.
, After all, the ancestral hall belongs to everyone!"
Gu Chengyu has this intention, and Uncle Gu will be very happy. When the money is insufficient, he will ask Xiaobao to make up for it.
"Then uncle, let's figure it out! I also plan to add ten acres of clan land to the clan without paying taxes. I have tax-free acres in my name, and they will be put in my name. The output of these fields will be sold for money.
Educate the children of the clan."
Gu Chengyu's words before could still make Uncle Gu excited, but what he said now made Uncle Gu stand up happily.
"Okay, okay, Xiaobao is determined, and now he can lead the clan. If you really make a decision, I will go to the clan and tell everyone, so that everyone will be happy too!" Uncle Gu has already made a decision.
I began to think about the bright future of the Gu family in the future. Gu Chengyu will definitely lead the Gu family to glory.
Uncle Gu couldn't sit still after receiving the good news, "I'll go to the clan first and tell everyone about the clan field. What are the rules for the plaque and archway? It depends on everyone's opinions."
Gu Chengyu was a little helpless. He was just a scholar, and he really felt that it was unnecessary. However, he still couldn't bear to look at his father Gu and Lu and ruin their fun. Such achievements are usually reserved for future generations to admire, and they are the glory of the Gu family.
After Uncle Gu finished speaking, he left in a hurry. He wanted to build the ancestral hall, but there were still many things to do next!
"Xiaobao! Why did you think about the family land? You can only have 80 acres of tax-free land in your name. This time you give away 10 acres. You have to pay for these 10 acres yourself!" Lu thought about it.
She was a little reluctant to part with her. The clan had never given her family any benefits, and those people had not been close to them before.
"What do you know? Xiaobao is right to do this. These fields are not for the clan, but for the children who cannot afford to study." Father Gu only thinks that women have long hair and short knowledge.
"Our Gu family is now the eldest brother's family. There are people in our family and the third uncle's family. Currently, only Xiaobao has been admitted as a scholar. From now on, there will not even be anyone to help him. If he is lucky enough to become an official, who in the family will be successful?
Can’t we also support each other? Didn’t Xiaobao say that? It’s hard to support a tree alone!”
Dad Gu still remembered what Xiaobao said to him a few years ago. After thinking about it later, he felt that it was absolutely right!
"Does our little treasure need to rely on others? It would be nice if they didn't hold him back." Ms. Lu curled her lips, what kind of future can those few in the family have? Those kids chase chickens all day long.
It's a dog's, and it's all in disarray.
Lu's words successfully made Gu Wan laugh. In her mother's eyes, Xiaobao was the smartest and filial son in the world.
Gu Chengyu was also dumbfounded by Lu's matter-of-fact tone. It was true that the baby was all for his own good.
"Dad is right. Besides, our family doesn't rely on my tax-free land to live, right? It can be regarded as doing our best for the clan. Besides, our family's tax-free farm has 80 acres! By then, everyone in the clan will want to
If we put the farmland in our name, they will definitely arrange it everywhere."
Gu Chengyu has also considered this matter, but which family should he hang up with as the current tax-free Tian Shao? Clan Tian can not only silence their mouths, but also do good things for the clan, which is the best of both worlds.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she could only mutter, feeling that it was an advantage to the clan.
"I'm going to pay my respects to Master Wen tomorrow. Besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so I'm going to bring the Mid-Autumn Festival with me this time."
"By the way, our family is holding a banquet, but I don't know if Brother Sun can handle it?" Gu Chengyu thought of Sun Xian. Sun Xian is also a scholar now. Besides, they will all be members of his own family in the future. It seems that he should prepare a gift.
.And Ye Zhiqiu, we are all classmates, so we still have to give congratulations.
"Oh! I have discussed this matter with your father. No matter whether brother Xian holds a banquet or not, our family's gifts must not be missing. His family's life is very tight, and our family has to make up for it a little, Wan'er
It's also a good blessing. He is a scholar. If he can win the imperial examination in three years and Wan'er gets married, it will be really glorious."
Mrs. Lu was still satisfied with her son-in-law. Although Sun Xian's family was poor, he seemed to have a good character and was capable. Xiaobao's taste in choosing people was beyond praise.
"I'm going to my husband's house tomorrow. When I come back, take your brother Sun with you and ask him to come over and play." Mrs. Lu knew that unmarried men and women were shy and would not scream, and Sun Xian was too embarrassed to come to the house all the time.
"I know! If there is a banquet, then I have to invite my wife and classmates. Dad, what do you think of the eighteenth day?" It is an unwritten rule for scholars who have passed the examination to host banquets. Even people from poor families will do it. Whose family
I won’t be reluctant to part with this money.
"On that day! You ask an entourage to go to your aunt's house and let her know, and let her come for a drink on the 18th." Father Gu thought of Gu Xiu, and felt that it was better to inform him in advance, but not then.
Is there anything I can't get away from?
"Then we've decided on a date, and I'm going to write a post to my wife and classmates." He was going to town early tomorrow morning, and Gu Chengyu planned to write the post now.
After Gu Chengyu left, Mrs. Lu glanced at Mr. Gu and said, "Your eldest sister came here once and we couldn't even see her black eyes. Let her have a look this time to see if there are scholars in our family! Her family is
A tofu seller, what's so cool about him?"
Father Gu was helpless about this. Mrs. Lu and his eldest sister had always been at loggerheads and disliked each other. They would have a quarrel when they got together.
"Isn't this all in the past? When has she come here in the past few years without a smile on her face? Why talk about what happened in the past?"
"Isn't it just to see how our family's life has improved? When our family was poor in the past, did you think she would come? These few times she came, when did she not get something from our family and leave?"
Mrs. Lu got angry when she said this. Gu Xiu is short-sighted and loves to pretend. When did she leave without taking food and materials from home? She was so thick-skinned that she just grabbed them. She used to look down on people all day long.
, in the past two years, she has also performed a drama about bitterness just to take advantage.
"Then what can I do? If I don't give it to her, she will sing a big show, which will make people's heads hurt!"
