I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 280 Sap

as predicted.

On the day when the family tree was rebuilt, all the men in the village gathered at the gate of the ancestral hall.

Not surprisingly, Xia Ying and Sister Fu were two red spots among the green bushes.Except for their mother and daughter, all the people who appeared here were men!

And seeing them majestically standing next to Gu Tuo once again, the repulsion and displeasure in the eyes of the men in the whole village have faded a lot.

After watching this kind of picture too much, they gradually become numb.

Seeing the little daughter-in-law walking side by side with Gu Tuo smilingly, the old patriarch twitched his wrinkled face, and immediately snapped: "The ancestral hall is important, on such a serious occasion, who allowed you to laugh? Don't laugh!"

Xia Ying quickly put away her smiling face. "Second uncle, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Hmph, you still know how to measure!"

However, after regaining some face from her, the old patriarch felt much more at ease, so he turned his head away. "Okay, the auspicious time is here, open the ancestral hall, please ask for the genealogy!"

To be honest, Xia Ying didn't have much affection for this kind of clan system.

Especially now that the old patriarch is giving orders in the village from time to time just because of his status as the patriarch, and he doesn't even pay attention to the women in the village, she doesn't like this feudal system that is extremely strict on women.

However, when a thick genealogy was invited out, the old patriarch put on reading glasses, he opened the genealogy with a serious face, found the page where Gu Ji was located, and then picked up a pen to write down the names that had been blotted out. As soon as she wrote it, Xia Ying still felt an indescribable sense of solemnity coming over her face.

In this era dominated by farming, the clan system should be considered the best choice at the moment, right?At the very least, clan cohesion has never been higher.

Now that she is in it, seeing people with the same surname gather together, this power alone makes her feel awed.

She couldn't help holding her breath, and watched the old patriarch fill in the names one by one with a solemn face, and then Gu Tuo and her names were also written on it, followed by Brother Long, brother and sister name.

After writing these, confirm that they are correct, and wait until the ink is dry before the old patriarch closes the genealogy.

"Okay, the family tree is over!"

With a loud shout, he hurriedly put the genealogy tree back in its original place, and everyone saluted and offered incense to the tablets of the ancestors, and the matter was considered over.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a job of adding a page to a book, but the early worship, asking for the genealogy, and the later posting of the genealogy, apologizing to the disturbed ancestors, and other links accounted for it. Ninety percent of the time.

So after finishing this matter, half a day has passed!
Coming out of the ancestral hall again, the sun is already at noon!
After tossing for a long time, it only took 10 minutes to get down to business, and the rest of the time was spent on red tape.Xia Ying immediately hated this old society where form was more important than anything else.

After finally walking out of the ancestral hall, Xia Ying thought she was liberated now!

She's going home to sleep in!

However, as soon as this idea came to mind, the old patriarch had already walked to Gu Tuo's side.

He still didn't look at Xia Ying directly, and just talked to Gu Tuo: "Brother Tuo, we should have a banquet in the whole village to celebrate when you came back that day, but I was afraid that you were too tired at that time, so I didn't want to bother you anymore. But now I think you have all rested, and now that the genealogy has been completed, you go to my house, and let's have a glass of water and wine to celebrate!"

"It's not urgent. After I get all the bones of Gu Ji back and bury them, let's set up a three-day banquet together." Gu Tuo said.

The old patriarch's face twitched again, and he nodded quickly. "That's it! That's fine, that's fine, that's fine. That... I'll go first!"

He hurried away in a hurry.

Xia Ying saw it, and she asked Gu Tuo quietly: "What's the matter? Why did the patriarch's face become so weird when you talked about picking up the bones?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Tuo asked her back.

Xia Ying thought about it. "Looking at how aggressively they deleted the names of Gu Ji and his party from the genealogy, then the entire army of Gu Ji's men must have been wiped out at that time, and they must have desperately distanced themselves from them. Therefore, Even if people died, they never thought of helping to collect and bury the bones."

"That's why people have been dead for three or four years, but they haven't been buried in their ancestral graves for a long time. Am I right?"

Gu Tuo nodded. "That's right. So as long as I mention this matter, the patriarch will feel ashamed to see me."

Xia Ying twitched the corner of her mouth. "Listen to what you said, why do I feel that the existence of this clan is to stick to it if it is beneficial, and run away if it is not beneficial?"

"When you say that, it seems to be true!" Gu Tuo nodded.

"However, when I brought Taki and the others back, the patriarch still decided to accept us. So it can only be said that they are too timid."

"I understand. So you will blame them for being unreasonable in your heart, but if you really want to blame them, you can't blame them very much." Xia Ying said.

"Yes!" Gu Tuo nodded.

"Maybe it's also because of my identity! I have a natural separation in my heart, so I don't even resent them."

"That's good! Anyway, from now on, we just need to respect each other, as long as the well water doesn't violate the river water!" Xia Ying said.

"Yeah." Gu Tuo nodded, and he pulled Xia Ying up, "Let's go! Next, we should go and bring back the bones of our ancestors!"

Now, he has transformed again and has become the real Gu Tuo!
Huh?
Xia Ying was startled. "Do you know where their remains are?"

"Of course I know, because I buried those people! This is also one of the original agreements between me and Gu Tuo." Gu Tuo said softly.

Xia Ying's heart skipped a beat, she suddenly wanted to ask - the real Gu Tuo?Did you also collect and bury his remains?

But she still didn't ask.

On the second day after the completion of the genealogy work, Gu Tuo took Gu Yuanlong and Gu Yuanhao brothers out, and their father and son went to the place where the bones of Gu Ji's ancestors were buried to collect the remains.

Xia Ying was at home with her sister Fu and Xiao Qi, so she naturally picked up the previous picture books and began to fill in the knowledge points that the children had missed.

But two days had passed since such a peaceful day, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

A strange face appeared at the door.

Xia Ying held the door, she looked at him coldly: "Who are you?"

"My name is Zeng Ping. I used to be an apprentice of Gu Ji. When Gu Ji fell down, I went back to my hometown and became an ordinary carpenter. Now I heard that Gu Ji was wronged. Gu Ji's ninth son is here. I'm here. Dedicated to him!" The other party replied quickly, and he excitedly took out a delicate wooden plaque, which was engraved with Gu Ji's mark and his name.

Xia Ying took a look at the wooden sign in her hand, and then she nodded. "Okay, come in first!"

When Zeng Ping stepped over the threshold, he heard a bang from behind, and Xia Ying closed the door!
Then--

A gust of wind came from behind.

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a thud in his ears, a pain in the back of his neck, his eyes immediately became dark, and he lost consciousness.
