During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 32 Why don’t you donate?

Uncle Jiang Wu panicked. It was one thing to find Jiang Qian displeased, but it was another thing to bring it out openly, "Of course not."

"Since it's not the case, then it's settled." Uncle Qi said fairly.

Uncle Jiang Wu thought of the money sent by Jiang Yongguo and gritted his teeth, "I... I just think that His Majesty governs the world with benevolence and filial piety. As a scholar, Jiang Qian should contribute to the family education, but he cannot ignore filial piety."

"..."

"I heard that he and Jiang Miao have made some money recently, so why not donate a sum of money to the clan school and give the tax-free quota to Jiang Yongguo and his wife? This would be the best of both worlds."

Everyone frowned, even Village Chief Jiang didn’t agree.

Not only did Jiang Qian give up his tax-free quota, but he also had to donate an extra amount of money. This plan was too loud.

If outsiders knew about it, they would think that the Jiang clan was bullying the weak!
The more Uncle Jiang thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea, and he said with a proud face, "I really do this for the sake of our Jiang family, without any favoritism."

"I bother……

Before the words could be spoken, Jiang Miao's mouth was blocked by her elder brother.

So angry, so angry. Could it be that Fifth Uncle thought that his family was taken advantage of.

Jiang Miao really wanted to tear his mouth apart.

The good-tempered Uncle Ninth frowned.

The outspoken seventh uncle knocked on the pipe pot and asked: "You say it is so righteous, why don't you donate?"

"I?"

Uncle Jiang Wu pointed at himself and whispered: "How can my family have so much money? All eight members of the family need to eat, and there are only two of them, a brother and a sister. It would be a waste to keep so much money. It is better to donate it to the clan school. In the future, The younger members of the clan have become famous, can’t their brothers and sisters also benefit from it?”

"Ha ha……"

When Luo Tingye heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect there to be such shameless people in the world. Today I really opened my eyes."

Only then did everyone realize that there were outsiders present.

Village Chief Jiang: ...I don’t know if it’s too late to clear the place now.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Uncle Jiang asked dissatisfied.

Jiang Qian quickly introduced, "He is a friend I met when I was studying. His surname is Luo. Because he suffered some injuries on the road, I took him home to take care of him."

There have long been rumors in the village that Jiang Qian brought back a friend from outside. Unexpectedly, his temperament was so outstanding.

Village Chief Jiang asked cautiously: "So, he is also a scholar?"

"Yes, Brother Luo's talent is not inferior to mine."

Village Chief Jiang's expression immediately changed and became much more enthusiastic, "It turns out to be Mr. Luo."

However, Luo Tingye walked around a few people and patted Jiang Miao on the head skillfully, "What time is it? Why don't you go cook quickly? Don't forget, we have to go to town to deliver things in the afternoon."

"Oh, I forgot about it."

The boss of Fuguilou liked Fulu very much after seeing it, and ordered another twenty bags to be delivered in the afternoon.

Jiang Miao ran to the kitchen in a hurry, shouting as she ran, "Help me get firewood." Luo Tingye had no intention of taking care of others, and moved a bundle of firewood into the kitchen.

No one else present showed any expression.

Only Uncle Jiang's face turned green. He was a scholar. This young master named Luo just ignored Uncle Seven and the others. How could he ignore himself.

Therefore, Uncle Jiang Wu, who felt strong malice, vented his dissatisfaction on Jiang Qian.

"Jiang Qian." Uncle Jiang scolded with a sullen face, "Look how you taught her? This girl has attacked her grandmother and second aunt before, and now she is disrespectful to her elders. How can she act like a girl?"

Jiang Qian's face darkened, and he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Amiao has always been well-behaved and sensible in front of me."

As for how he behaves in front of you, that's none of his business.

Uncle Jiang Wu was so angry that he fell down and wanted to find a rope to beat Jiang Qian a few times.

"All right."

Village Chief Jiang's tone became a little more serious. He didn't understand why Lao Wu didn't have a long memory after suffering so much from the two brothers and sisters, but he chose to go against them.

"It's getting late, so let's go back first. As for the tax-free quota, let's leave it to our clan. Aqian, I know you don't like your second uncle's family, but your grandma loves you after all. If you have time, you still have to do it. Go over and take a look.”

Jiang Qian smiled and neither agreed nor objected.

The yard was silent for a long time before Luo Tingye said, "Since you don't like getting along with them, why not find a chance to move out."

"It still doesn't work. Although they have their own ideas, they are actually not bad. It's just that they value different things."

Yes, everyone has something they value, but everyone values ​​​​different things.

At this time, Luo Tingye looked at Jiang Miao who was cooking in the kitchen. She still had a pure and bright smile on her face. For some reason, he had the idea of ​​protecting this innocence.

He hoped that this girl could always live so innocently.

But can he do it?

Luo Tingye had doubts about himself for the first time.

"That's not right, brother, when did Jiang Qian buy a carriage? I just saw a carriage parked in the yard, and it seemed to be two horses."

Village Chief Jiang also noticed it, and grabbed Uncle Jiang who wanted to rush back to find out what was going on. He said seriously: "The young man named Luo must have a good background. He should have bought the carriage and horses. You have nothing to do during this time." Go provoke those two brothers and sisters."

Uncle Jiang Wu jumped, "Why am I provoking them? It's obvious that they don't take me seriously."

Village Chief Jiang said angrily: "Do you have to tell me clearly? Who provoked whom?"

Seeing that Uncle Jiang Wu didn't speak, Village Chief Jiang continued: "I know you have always hated Jiang Qian in your heart, but if you ask me to say that it is not Jiang Qian's fault at all, it is his ability to become a scholar, but you insist on your own You put money on your face, but suffered a loss in the end, who is to blame?"

"Without me, he wouldn't have been able to pass the exam as a scholar. I worked so hard to train him, but I didn't expect that he would turn his back on me after he passed the exam."

Back then, when Jiang Qian was admitted as a scholar, Uncle Jiang Wu wanted to promote himself, but he didn't expect that that boy didn't take him seriously at all, and even made it difficult for him to get off the stage in front of everyone. How could he not be angry?
"Why did he turn his back on me? He left the village because he had to take the imperial examination. It was you who wanted to use his name to do things, but you failed and instead relied on him."

Uncle Jiang Wu lowered his head unwillingly.

Village Chief Jiang's eyes were deep, "How many of the children who study ethnic studies today can pass the exam to be a scholar? Let alone a scholar, how many can pass the exam to become a child student?"
