Honglou: I really didn't want to rebel

Page 166

But I found that my mother was looking at me with a smile.

After a little change of heart, I knew what was going on.

"Then my mother is going to be the host today, so I need to pay more money. If the sisters are not happy with the food, it will be embarrassing."

Aunt Xue laughed and said:

"Don't worry, today will definitely make you happy!"

"What do you want to eat, just tell me, I'll ask Pan'er to pick it up from the shop!"

Just when the sisters were happy,

In Rongguo Mansion,

Wang Xifeng took Ping'er back to the courtyard wearily,

"Hey, I still have to rest for two days, and I'm still tired."

"Grandma, now that you have the regulations, you must not spoil your body."

Wang Xifeng nodded and did not speak.

When I entered the house, I saw a sealed box on the ground.

"Hey, who sent this?"

Hui Jin outside the door replied:

"Grandma, it was sent by the third master of Dongfu, saying that it was only for grandma and sister Ping'er.

Looking at the one-meter-high box in front of me,

Wang Xifeng thought to herself that it must not be those things that trample people, otherwise how can Lian'er hide it when she comes back? ! .

Chapter 170 The Jia Family Meeting (Flowers plus more)

at dusk,

At the ancestral hall of Ningguo Mansion, hundreds of people gathered in the courtyard,

There are dozens of soldiers standing guard outside the ancestral hall.

Several older people sat beside Jia Cong.

Today, I suddenly notified the clan meeting,

Many people are confused about what to do.

Although the coffins of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are now parked in Tiekan Temple,

But it hasn't come out yet.

Could it be that Jia Cong is in a hurry to live in Ningguo Mansion?

Many people came to watch the fun,

After all, everyone said they were in the same vein,

But they didn't think much of the glory of the Ningrong Second Mansion.

Jia Cong glanced at Jia Zheng sitting next to him,

"Second master, are all the clansmen complete?"

"There are still three rooms that haven't arrived yet."

"Don't wait!"

After Jia Cong finished speaking, he stood up.

Looking at the strange eyes of hundreds of people below, he said loudly:

"Since becoming the head of the Jia family, I haven't met the family members properly."

"One is because Jin Yiwei is busy with official duties, and the other is because there are some preparations to be made."

"Today's clan meeting, there is something to announce."

"Since the death of the second Duke Ning Rong, my Jia family has never made any achievements in civil and military affairs.

"Among them are descendants who are not up to expectations, and there are also family members who are having a hard time."

"I won't talk about merits and demerits today, I have a few things related to you to announce today.

The people below were stunned for a moment.

This Jia family has not held a clan meeting for many years.

In the past, it was nothing more than going to the Ningrong Second Mansion to say auspicious words during the New Year's Eve.

Then take some silver taels or rice meat back.

Only a few people were able to get some work, but it was far from as good as outsiders imagined

"Could it be that the patriarch wants to give us some money and food?"

"The patriarch's new appointment must be better!"

"Maybe it's giving us some work in the shop!"

"It's a good idea. Those are controlled by the stewards of the East and West Mansions. It's our turn?"

"Isn't it going to be a direct payment of money? Then I have to thank the patriarch!"

Looking at the inconspicuous clansmen below,

Let alone Jia Cong, even Jia Zheng couldn't hold his face.

Jia Cong pressed his hand,

After everyone slowly calmed down, they continued to speak:

"Recently, I used the original silver in Ningguo Mansion to buy some land and fruit trees outside the city."

"These are all counted in the family property of the Jia family. I'm going to hand them over to you. Except for the three families who didn't come, you will divide them."

Immediately there was another noise and compliments below,

Jia Cong glanced at the third child who was guarding the entrance of the ancestral hall,

The third child suddenly shouted: "Quiet!"

Then dozens of soldiers shouted in unison,

Immediately scared the people inside.

Seeing that everything was quiet, Jia Cong said with a smile:

"These fields and fruit forests, [-]% of the annual output will belong to you, and [-]% will be collected and returned to the public, and reserved as rewards for sacrificing ancestors or rewarding clan members every year."

"Excluding Ning Rong's second mansion and the third house that didn't come, there are still thirteen houses left. What do you think you are suitable for? Report to Jia Yun, and he will assign it to you.

"In addition, there are some people who feel that they can do other jobs, such as managing a shop, and they can talk to Jia Yun."

"These field orchards are not just for you. If you can't even wait for the harvest, don't blame others for robbing you."

The people below immediately made promises with their eyes shining,

Everyone praised Jia Cong, the patriarch, for his competence.

Even Jia Zheng and the old people beside Jia Cong looked relieved,

This era pays attention to family, country and world, and family is the first!

Harmony with the clan and unity with the clan is a very important virtue. If a patriarch and the clan members of an ancestor are harsh, Emperor Longzheng would not dare to reuse such a person!

Not to mention the manors, supermarkets, and restaurants outside Jia Cong,

They are not going to use the rotten members of the Jia family,

So they must be arranged elsewhere.

Jia Cong didn't like the shop industry outside Ningguo Mansion at all.

Together with these field orchards as a means of winning people's hearts,

Just kills two birds with one stone!

What's more, so many properties have been confiscated recently,

The Clan Mansion was also eager to cash in, and just bought it back at a low price with the status of Jin Yiwei.

Jia Cong clapped his hands, the people below are more obedient this time,

It was quiet for a moment,

They looked helplessly at Jia Cong and Jia Yun who was standing on the side below.

Everyone knows

Jia Yun will definitely develop in the future!

Everyone can get something, but what about Jia Yun who is holding the patriarch's thigh? !

"The first thing is just about you now. There are so many regulations. In a word, do things with your heart, and those fields and orchards will be yours. If you can't do it well, leave it to others

"The next matter is related to the Jia family's century-old foundation, and it is also related to your descendants!"

Looking at the confused faces below,

Jia Cong sighed inwardly.

?0 asking for flowers...

These people are no longer able to support the wall with mud!

"The Jia family, together with many old relatives and in-laws, jointly built an academy outside the city."

"You all know what the family studies of the Jia family are like. Nowadays, the academies outside the city are different. All the children of the Jia family's school age can enroll, and they don't need to study."

"This academy is completely closed. There are veterans who have come from the battlefield to exercise their bodies, and old judges who have retired to teach them the "Great Law". The four books and five classics are also required to be read by sages!"

"When you have learned the number of years, you will be able to graduate. Someone will take you to travel thousands of miles to increase your knowledge!"

"The academy closes for half a year and one month! Don't disturb the academy at ordinary times!"

"Jia's family has eighteen houses, so I don't believe that there can be no one who can raise a champion! Within five years, there must be a member of the family. Within ten years, there must be a juren!"

As soon as these words came out, the place below was like a vegetable market.

They know they are useless, they know they are not good enough,

But the more this is the case, the more I hope my children will do it!

So when I heard Jia Cong's words, I immediately boiled up,

"The patriarch's decision is wise and mighty, and I am the first to agree!"

"That's right, the Jia family should have done this a long time ago! In the past, they couldn't afford to go to school, but now they finally have hope!"

"I was the first to sign up! The child will be beaten to death for disobedience!"

"Yes! As long as I can become a talent, I will admit it even if I kill you!"

"Those who have been trained in this way must be both civil and military! The patriarch is wise!"

Everyone is praising Jia Cong loudly,

Not even the fields and orchards just now.

Jia Cong returned to the capital in such a short time,

How majestic they can see,

Now vigorously rectify the family and train the children of the family,

They really recognized Jia Cong!

Because this is not only about them, but most importantly about the future of their children and grandchildren!

Jia Cong pressed his hand, and there was a sudden silence below.

All of them looked at Jia Cong helplessly.
