The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 373 Family Rules
"My elder brother said that if you borrow it in half a year, you can double it several times. That's a lot of money! It's been two months since you borrowed it, and you can get the money after another four months."

After hearing this, Gu Chengyu thought to himself, the first few times seemed to give some benefits, but the latter seemed to be fishing for big fish with a long line?

"Did you give any evidence for the money you lent?" Gu Chengyu was afraid that He and Gu Chengyi would blindly press their fingerprints on the certificate. Both of them were illiterate, and they would be calculated by others, but they didn't know.

"What proof? I don't know. My elder brother helped me do all these things. How can I, a woman, understand these things?" He's face was blank, and she gave the money directly to her elder brother, asking him to help She just went to get the money when the day came.

"There is a set of rules for lending loan sharks, don't you put your fingerprints on the paper?" Gu Chengyu thought of something, maybe the situation is not as bad as they thought.

"No! I just give it to my elder brother. Why don't I have my fingerprints? My elder brother will give me the money when the day comes."

After listening to Gu Chengyu, she felt that her 2000 taels were in vain.The process of releasing loan sharks has not gone through, it may be cheated by others.Of course, it could also be that she was cheated by her elder brother. No matter what it is, as long as He and Gu Chengyi didn't sign and press their fingerprints, there would be nothing to do.

As for whether the money will be returned or not, that is not his business.

"Little Treasure! What do you say?"

Gu Wanhua had borrowed usury before, and Uncle Gu knew that no matter whether it was borrowed or borrowed, there must be proof.It's like He's, who has nothing. If her elder brother doesn't admit that the money was given by He's, then He's got nothing?

"There's no need to settle this matter, our Gu family didn't give loan sharks." Gu Chengyu smiled, there are advantages to being stupid.

Uncle Gu understood immediately, and then looked at the He and his wife with the eyes of a fool.

When Gu Chengyi heard what the two said, he immediately felt bad, "What does this mean? Then the 2000 taels of silver won't come back?"

Gu Chengyu ignored Gu Chengyi's call, and asked Mingyan to go to his room to bring out the clan rules.

"Uncle! Today's incident has made our Gu family lose face." Speaking of this, everyone forgot about Wang Yueniang who was still shrinking behind. Only now did they mention it, and everyone remembered that there was still an unresolved trouble.

The Gu family has already obtained Wang Yueniang's divorce letter, but the Gu family has not yet figured out what to do with her.

Uncle Gu also sighed. He had waited a few more days before he would be able to happily host a banquet, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Uncle! You are the patriarch! You should know that there are no rules, and there is no circle. Our clan has a large population. If we don't come up with a charter, I'm afraid there will be such things in the future."

"you're right!"

Uncle Gu deeply believed that Gu Chengyu was the hope of the whole family now, and when the Spring Festival passed three years later, he might become an official.Their Gu family became a noble family in one leap, and they changed their family from then on, and they are no longer mud legs.

"I have drawn up a family rule here, and I ask uncle to read it. After all, how can the prosperity of the Gu family be supported by me alone? I will fight for everyone in the front, and I hope that the people behind will not trust me. hind legs."

Uncle Gu quickly took the genealogy in his hand, and read it one by one.

While watching, he nodded, "Well! The examples are very detailed. Our Gu family has no capable people in our ancestors, and the family rules were set by the big family. But now it is different, and the family rules have to be established. .”

"Tomorrow, I will open the ancestral hall and let everyone memorize the clan rules. If our Gu family wants to prosper, we must have rules."

Uncle Gu is a person who thinks wholeheartedly about the clan. As the patriarch, he must of course put the interests of the whole clan first.

"No! It's not tomorrow, it's today, and the family rules are enforced today!"

Gu Chengyu had already made up his mind, and set up a new family rule, and he must kill chickens to scare monkeys.Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of effort if the clansmen didn't abide by it?

Besides, although Gu Chengyi lost his body and money in this incident, it was not enough to deter him.If you want him not to cause trouble, you can only be cruel to him.He was the one who cared about affection before, and handled it a little softer.

Now, he is also thinking about it.Some people, if you try to persuade them with nice words, even if you give him your heart and soul, he won't even think you are nice.That being the case, then he might as well be a villain, and only by making him afraid of you can he calm down.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Gu raised his head and glanced at Gu Chengyu.The face is still the same, and the expression of the smile has not changed, but he always feels that the smile is different from the past.

He touched the family rules in his hand, trembling slightly, and dealt with them according to the family rules.Gu Chengyi had to be slapped ten times. Gu Chengyu himself was weak, so if he was slapped again, wouldn't that kill him?

Father Gu was illiterate, so he was a little anxious when he saw that his elder brother was silent.

"Brother! What's the boss saying?"

"I'll be whipped!" Uncle Gu replied softly after a while.

"What?" Papa Gu didn't speak for a long time after hearing the words.

Gu Chengyi panicked when he heard that he was about to be beaten, "What kind of clan rule is this? Fifth, you wrote it by yourself, so it's called a clan rule? Did you get the consent of the older generation in the clan? Our Gu family can't take it anymore." It's up to you to be the master!"

Gu Chengyi saw that Gu Chengyu was going to implement it today, wouldn't he want to take him under the knife?

"Mingmo! You and Mingyan invited a few elders from the clan to come over and said they had something important to discuss."

Those elders are not young, so they didn't come when such a big event happened today.

"Fifth, you are determined to have trouble with me, aren't you?" Gu Chengyi panicked when he saw that he really went to invite the clan elder.

Papa Gu pursed his lips, but he didn't make a sound after all.In the end, it turned into a sigh, and I only hope that the second child will not make detours in the future.

"Second brother! People who make mistakes will eventually be punished. The rules of the Gu family should also be established."

Today, Gu Chengyu has decided to impose rules on the tribe.If it continues to be so loose, sooner or later something will happen to the clan.At that time, he was in the capital, and a huge hole was stabbed behind him, and he didn't even have time to mend it.What does the speaker eat?A book is enough for you to drink a pot.

Several people waited for a long time before inviting the three elders of the clan.

"Like I said, there must be a family rule in our clan. Changqing! Look at your second child, he's messed up our Gu family. I can't stand my old face when I go out."

"Third Uncle!" Father Gu was called out by name, so he could only come forward to make amends.

Gu Chengyu greeted them one by one, "Uncles! This is the family rule drawn up by the younger generation."

Then, the family rules were read aloud.

"There are no rules and it's not good to restrain the tribe. I think it's good! That's it! I'll open the ancestral hall later." There is an uncle who has a bad temper and feels that he should be restrained.

Although Gu Chengyu had only just been admitted to Juren, if he didn't restrain his clansmen well and wait until he became an official, it would be too late.

Many high-ranking officials did evil in the local area because their tribe was far away, relying on the support of high-ranking officials. There are quite a few officials who are dragged down by their tribe.
