I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 190 My Wife Wants to Enter the Ancestral Hall
I saw the first few people beating the gong to clear the way, followed by a group of young people riding tall horses, followed by two gorgeous sedan chairs.

The sedan chair was surrounded by people, and there was a long group of people behind it.

Look at this situation, the population alone is probably fifty or sixty!

And looking at the clothes of these people, they are so glamorous!The man's eyes are dazzled!

"Could it be that the emperor is here for a tour down the south of the Yangtze River?" He guessed in a low voice, his feet had already voluntarily moved to the side to make way for the team.

This team also walked past him as a matter of course, no matter whether they were leading the way or the rear, no one turned their heads to look at him.

Helplessly, the man watched the team arrive at the door of Gu Tuo's house.

Then, the person who knocked the gong at the front hurriedly stepped forward to knock on the door: "May I ask if this is the residence of the villager Gu Tuo?"

Gu Tuo came out. "I'm Gu Tuo, may I ask who you are?"

"The imperial court has an order, and Gu Tuo, a villager in Gujia Village, Changshou Town, Qingshan County, Jiangbian Province, accepts the order!"

When everyone present heard this, they were stunned.

So, hurriedly assembled the incense table, Xia Ying brought the children out together, the whole family knelt on the incense table, and saw the old eunuch with gray beard coming out of the sedan chair slowly unfolding the bright yellow imperial decree in his hand, and began to read word by word. Read it.

"Follow the sky, the emperor's edict said..."

Then, a pair of dizzying nonsense, in the middle of which was a few words about Gu Tuo's credit for catching bandits alive years ago, and then a compliment that Xia Ying had never heard before, which almost made Gu Tuo He exaggerated and exaggerated in different ways, almost exaggerating him!
to the end-

"I rewarded Gu Tuo with a hundred acres of good farmland and a hundred taels of gold. This is it!"

After listening to this lengthy edict, Xia Ying hurriedly kowtowed along with Gu Tuo. "Grass people lead the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Seeing that Minghuang's imperial decree was delivered to Gu Tuo, Xia Ying couldn't help but take a few more glances.

I really didn't expect that in this life, she would have the opportunity to witness the imperial decree with her own eyes!

Although, I'm afraid that this so-called imperial decree was not issued by the emperor himself, but it doesn't matter.At least in a small and remote place like Gujia Village, the weight of this edict alone is enough!

Gu Tuo's face was calm, even if the holy decree was in his hand, his hand didn't even shake.

On the contrary, the patriarch has gone crazy with joy!

He hurriedly stepped forward: "Masters, it's been hard work for you all from afar. The villain's words make people kill chickens and ducks, and prepare a banquet to welcome you!"

The one who read out the imperial decree only glanced at him, then turned his head away.

However, the disgust in his eyes was obvious.

As soon as the people who accompanied the announcement passed, the county magistrate hurriedly said: "Eunuch An, in fact, the lower official has already ordered someone to prepare a banquet in the county office, including your bedroom. Now that the imperial edict has been read out here It's over, let's turn back quickly! Otherwise, if we delay for a long time, I'm afraid it will be dark when we return to the county town!"

"Well, let's go!" Eunuch An nodded coolly.

A group of people left in a mighty manner.

Although the patriarch was a little embarrassed to be rejected by this person, he was still happy in his heart.

After sending off the group of people respectfully, he hurried to Gu Tuo's side. "Brother Tuo, you are really promising! Now even the emperor knows your credit!"

"Oh, does he really know? This thing is clearly made up by the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to fool us. It's just a trick to fool the people!" Gu Tuo said coldly.

The patriarch turned pale with fright.

"Brother Tuo, what nonsense are you talking about? Bah, bah, bah, kid talk!"

He poohed several times, then pulled Gu Tuo. "This is the first time the children and grandchildren of our Gu family village have received the imperial decree! Such a big happy event must be told to the ancestors! Let's go, let's open the ancestral hall and invite the ancestors!"

Gu Tuo didn't move.

The patriarch pulled him several times before he turned around helplessly. "Brother Tuo, why don't you leave?"

"Second uncle, you can let me enter the ancestral hall. However, I have to go in with my wife and my children." Gu Tuo said.

"How can I do that? It's okay for you and brother Hao to go in, but your wife and sister Fu can't! According to the rules passed down from the ancestors, women have a lot of bad luck, they can't enter the ancestral hall!"

"But half of the reason why I was able to make this contribution this time is due to my wife. Therefore, if you want to tell the ancestors of the Gu family, she must be present. If she can't enter, then I won't enter either. "

"Brother Tuo! Aren't you looking for trouble on purpose?" The ancestor blushed anxiously.

Gu Tuo lowered his eyes. "I have already made meritorious service, but if even this cannot allow my wife and children to share this honor with me, then this credit will be of no use to me."

As he spoke, he threw the imperial decree on the ground casually!
The patriarch rushed to pick it up and hugged it in his arms.

"Brother Tuo, you..."

He wanted to scold.But seeing Gu Tuo's determined expression, he finally shut up.

"Forget it, just let your daughter-in-law and daughter in! However, there is only one chance like this, and there will be no exception next time!"

"Second Uncle, how can this be done?" The man actually gave in when he saw him?He hurriedly shouted, "There has been no rule for women to enter the ancestral hall for generations, so how can Gu Tuo and his wife be allowed to enter? What if she goes in and offends the ancestors and makes them blame them, what should I do?"

His resembling cry really scared many people.Many folks started shaking their heads.

Gu Tuo said: "We are the ones who want to enter the ancestral hall, so even if something goes wrong, the ancestors should blame us, and it's not your turn!"

"And we've already made up our minds. We don't want the reward of one hundred taels of gold. We will take it all out and rebuild the ancestral hall."

boom!
No matter how much opposition there is, it is far from being able to overcome Gu Tuo's words!

A hundred taels of gold, that is, 1000 taels of silver, he didn't keep any taels for himself, and used all of it to build the ancestral hall?

The patriarch's eyes sparkled with joy. "Brother Tuo, are you serious? So much money, all donated?"

Gu Tuo nodded. "Yes, I donated all of it! First repair the ancestral halls and memorial tablets for the ancestors, and the rest of the money will be kept in the clan. It depends on whose family is old, weak, sick and disabled, or whose children are smart but unable to take care of themselves because of poverty." Those who study, then use it to support them.”

"Of course, it's all up to you, the patriarch, to handle it impartially. I'm still young, and I don't know as much about the affairs of the clan as you do, so I won't interfere much."

He is really refreshing!

Such a large sum of money, if you say no, you don't want it!

Now, the patriarch was completely happy in his heart, and the others were also gagged by the arrogance of the 100 taels of gold, and could no longer utter a word of objection.
