Xuanxue boss, she became rich in ancient times by selling houses

Chapter 289
After eating the dumplings on the morning of the new year, the family set off for the clan ancestral hall.

There are many prejudices against women in this era, including that women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall.

Li Junze, Li Chengxiao and his son went in with the men of the Li family to worship, and Gu Xixi waited outside with Wang Shuanghua and others, and said hello to the family by the way.

Because of Zeng Cuifen, the older generation, most of the Li family's women had to come and take the initiative to pay New Year's greetings.

The third aunt Fan Lanhua didn't come with her. She had just given birth to a baby and couldn't help being cold for a long time.

Gu Xixi was wearing a new jacket, and Wang Shuanghua drove her out after working overtime for the past two days.

It was stuffed with cotton wool, so Gu Xixi couldn't feel the coldness of the cold winter months at all.

What's more, before going out, Wang Shuanghua also gave her the hand stove prepared in advance?

Originally this year it was discussed that Li Junze's family should invite the ancestors to the house, but the plan later failed, so let it go.

However, even if the ancestors are worshiped in the clan ancestral hall, there must be some sacrifices.

The sacrifices were all prepared by Li Chengyi and his wife.

As a woman, Gu Xixi couldn't enter the ancestral hall to see it with her own eyes, but seeing the faces of the men from the Li family as black as carbon when they came out, it's not hard to imagine that the greedy Li Chengyi and his wife messed things up.

Perhaps she herself felt guilty, so Liu Yun slipped away with oil on her feet before the elders of Li's parents came out of the ancestral hall.

The head of the Li family and several elders are of the same generation as the old man Li Yancheng, and they have dark faces.

It's not easy to talk to Li Yancheng, so I have to catch his three sons to make a fuss.

Among them, Li Chengyi was a cunning figure, so he found an excuse to leave.

Only brothers Lee Seung Hyo and Lee Seung In were left, and they were scolded bloody.

Both of them are middle-aged and middle-aged men, but at this moment they are constantly reprimanded in front of the juniors.

Although there is something wrong, but the patriarch and several patriarchs are upright, so why do they care so much?

"Patriarch, we have already separated from Uncle's family. Uncle's family is responsible for this matter. How can we blame my father?"

Li Junze couldn't bear it, and sounded a reminder from the side.

He opened his mouth and attracted the attention of the patriarch and the elders.

Patriarch Li was the first to bear the brunt and scolded angrily: "Jun Ze, you should understand the principle of breaking bones and connecting tendons. Even if the family is separated, they are still brothers."

Gu Xixi was not too far away, she heard the words of the old patriarch Li, and couldn't help but think, isn't there a reason to say, 'Brothers have to settle accounts too? '

Sure enough, the next moment, Li Junze used the sentence she thought in her heart to attack Patriarch Li back and forth.

Those who can sit in the position of patriarch are often those who are highly respected.

Patriarch Li saw that Li Junze even contradicted himself, how could he bear it?

In addition, he was already angry because of the tribute.

"Li Junze, don't think that if you go out to study for two years, you will be superior to others. You are a child of the old Li's family, and this will never change."

"Last night, your family moved to a new house to hold a flowing water banquet. There are big fish and big meat, what? Why don't you bring some tributes to honor your ancestors?"

"They are all family members with the same surname, why should they be clearly distinguished?"

Patriarch Li had a straight face, and his wrinkles added a bit of majesty.

After his words fell, the clan elders nodded in agreement.

"Last year's harvest was not good, and everyone's situation is difficult. We all know this, so let's help each other if we have the ability."

"Junze, your family opened a dental shop in Yanzhou City. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It's easier than us mud-legged people."

"Chengyi can be considered your uncle. He has no children under his knees. In the future, he may have to be a nephew like you to help with his retirement."

Everyone, you say something to me.

Gu Xixi followed Wang Shuanghua and Zeng Cuifen not far away, although she was chatting with the female relatives, her attention was all here.

She never expected that moral kidnapping is everywhere!

According to the meaning of the head of the Li family and the elders, it doesn't mean that Li Junze's family has money, so they should help everyone else.

If it's Li Chengren's family, Gu Xixi thinks it's time to help.

But Lee Seung-yi?The uncle who bullied the orphans and widows while his second brother was away, called him a dog, felt a little insulted to his loyal partner.

"I heard that the patriarch's family had three white and fat grandchildren last year!" Gu Xixi walked over with a surprised tone.

Speaking of his own grandson, Patriarch Li couldn't help puffing up his chest.

Farmers, the more people there are, the more prosperous they are. Who doesn't want more children in their family?Especially males, the more the better.

Those are all high-quality laborers who have made a fortune.

"Patriarch, you have so many children, why don't you inherit one for Uncle Chengyi?" Gu Xixi blinked her big innocent eyes, as if she was serious about doing good for both parties.

"They are all from a family surnamed Li. Since Uncle Chengyi has no son, and your family has many children and grandchildren, why not give him one?"

This sentence was directly asked to everyone present.

Several patriarchs looked at patriarch Li with hesitation in their words.

Yes, according to what Patriarch Li said just now, everyone is of the same root and should help each other.

"Patriarch, why don't you think about it?" Someone asked.

Patriarch Li's face was as black as ink in an instant, how could he be willing?
They were all from my own family, how could I be willing to give them away?
"Let's talk about it another day."

"Okay, let's all go away, those who should pay New Year's greetings, and those who should do what they should do."

Patriarch Li waved away impatiently, and he took the lead to leave the clan hall with his sons and family members.

Wang Shuanghua felt sorry for Gu Xixi, fearing that she would freeze out for too long, and as soon as the patriarch left, she couldn't wait to come over and pull people towards home.

Li Junze and Li Chengxiao father and son looked at each other, and they both raised their heels.

Back home, third uncle Li Chengren was full of praise for Gu Xixi.

Compliment her wit and spare them a scolding.

"It's just a heart-to-heart comparison. The reason why they persuade us to help the uncle's family from a moral high point is because they have not harmed their interests."

"Once their own interests are damaged, they are more anxious than anyone else."

Although Li Chengren and others were unfamiliar with many words in Gu Xixi's words, they all understood her meaning.

The patriarchs wanted to be good people themselves, and it was the two of them who contributed.

Li Junze's family didn't have any relatives to leave in Daniu Village, so after the family came back, they chatted around the stove and didn't intend to go out.

It was Cheng Miao who followed Yue Pingchuan and brought gifts to visit for New Year's greetings.

Gu Xixi couldn't help blaming Cheng Miao for being so polite to her and not treating her as a sister.

Cheng Miao herself was wronged, but she still explained to Gu Xixi that Yue Pingchuan must come to thank her.

They came to Li's house just after they left Cheng's house.

Knowing that Yue Pingchuan was repaying his kindness, Gu Xixi didn't say any more.

Gu Xixi accepted the gift Cheng Miao and the others brought, and before she and Yue Pingchuan left, she handed Cheng Miao another package.

"Return."

Cheng Miao opened it, "Xiya, these are my favorite snacks."

Gu Xixi had no choice but to support her forehead and smiled, flicking it on her little head, "You, eat less sweets, don't eat bad teeth."

After sending the two away, Li Junze looked at her with a sly smile, "Xi Xi, do you want to set off fireworks?"
