my grandmother

Chapter 79 Squeeze into the ancestral hall
Li Xuedong didn't stop, he was busy until the ninth day of the ninth day, and he had half a day to spare.

Just after breakfast, Li Shikuan sent his grandson A Zhuang to call Li Xuedong to discuss matters in the ancestral hall.

Li Xiaonan looked at Li Jinzhu, and Li Yuzhu also looked at Li Jinzhu.

Li Jinzhu pursed his lips tightly, looked at Li Yuzhu, then at Li Xiaonan, lowered his eyes, and stood up abruptly after a moment.

"I'm with Eldest Sister." Li Xiaonan rushed forward, standing next to Eldest Sister.

Li Yinzhu and Li Xuedong looked at the three of them inexplicably.

"I'll go and listen with you." Li Jinzhu looked at Li Xuedong.

"Okay!" Li Xuedong replied subconsciously.

Li Jinzhu followed behind Li Xuedong, and Li Xiaonan followed Li Jinzhu closely to the ancestral hall.

"Is something wrong?" Li Yinzhu moved close to the second elder sister and asked with concern.

"It's okay, Xuedong is the patriarch, and the elder sister is afraid that he will be pushed out to be a gunman." Li Yuzhu replied in a low voice.

Li Yinzhu was stunned for a moment, then slowly let out an oh.

Since the second elder sister said so, something must have happened. What happened?
Well, wait for Ah Nan to come back and ask.

Li Shikuan and several clan elders had already arrived, and they were stunned when they saw Li Jinzhu and Li Xiaonan following Li Xuedong in one after the other.

"Mr. Xiucai's decision on the wedding ceremony really needs his elder sister to make up his mind." Li Shikuan responded the fastest.

There are a few things to be discussed today, the most important one is the matter of their scholar's public engagement. It is true that this elder sister should be invited to discuss it, but he was negligent.

Li Xiaonan dragged two small bamboo chairs over with great insight.

Li Jinzhu sat a little further away, and Li Xiaonan sat behind Li Jinzhu's side, holding her chin and obeying.

The clan elders took one look at Li Xiaonan, then another, and then another.

Li Jinzhu, as the head of Xiucai's family, came to hear about the affairs of Xiucai's marriage.
Li Xiaonan rested her chin, turning a blind eye to the dissatisfaction of the clan elders.

Li Shikuan didn't look sideways, as if he didn't see Li Xiaonan, nor the dissatisfaction of several clan elders.

Li Wenliang, who participated in the clan elder's discussion as a handyman, moved a small coffee table over, put it between Li Jinzhu and Li Xiaonan, and poured two more cups of tea and put it there.

Li Shikuan watched Li Wenliang pour good tea, looked at Li Xuedong and said with a smile: "First discuss the matter of getting married with the Gao family?"

"Okay." Li Xuedong nodded.

His heart was up and down.

He felt that it was a little unusual for the eldest sister to come here. On the way here, he asked a question, and the eldest sister only hummed.

"Talk about it." Li Shikuan gestured to his eldest son, Li Wenliang.

Li Wenliang took care of all the marriage between Li Xuedong and the Gao family.

Li Wenliang first said that the combination of the horoscope is auspicious, and then that Huang Xianzun is a matchmaker, and then the dowry of the girl from the Gao family, and Li Jinzhu's plan to buy a house. ...What is going to be discussed right now is the matter of manpower for our scholar's official wedding, and the manpower of Yinzhu's marriage, especially Yinzhu's marriage, just in time for the busy farming season, so there are a lot of manpower to be used. Do you want to subsidize some copper tin, how much to subsidize per person, and how to subsidize it."

"Mr. Xiucai's betrothal gift, as well as the dowry of silver beads, can the family of Mr. Xiucai handle it?" A clan elder looked at Li Xuedong and said.

"The preserved egg shop in Xiucai's family is doing very well. Yinzhu's dowry and dowry have already been negotiated with the Hong family. It's still early for Xiucai to get married. It's best to discuss the dowry next year or two years later." Li Wenliang bowed slightly, vaguely He also clearly answered the clan elder's question.

"Some of the clan is young, and there are precedents for the subsidy, just follow the rules." Another clan elder laughed.

"Then it's agreed?" Li Shikuan looked from Li Xuedong to Li Jinzhu.

Li Xuedong looked at Li Jinzhu, saw Li Jinzhu nodding, and nodded accordingly.

"Then it's settled." Li Shikuan glanced at Li Jinzhu again.

Li Jinzhu sat firmly, without moving, while Li Xiaonan rested her chin and looked at Li Shikuan leisurely.

Li Shikuan's heart moved slightly, and he continued without a pause: "Then discuss the second matter, our Li family's ethnology, how to cultivate it, how to invite sir, let's discuss it."

"What else is your elder sister doing?" A clan elder looked at Li Xuedong and asked bluntly.

Li Xuedong looked at Li Jinzhu.

"Xuedong was young, and he devoted himself to studying since he was a child. He only started to learn how to deal with people after he was admitted as a scholar. My second sister and I were afraid that he would be ignorant, so we came to listen to him, lest he miss important events in the clan." Li Jinzhu straightened her back and said clearly.

Several clan elders frowned together and looked at Li Shikuan.

The smile on Li Shikuan's face was very kind, "It's also the same reason, Mrs. Xiucai Gongda is very thoughtful. Let's continue the discussion.

"Our ethnology, either, we will start a new one with each surname, or we will jointly organize it with the neighboring surnames. Let's discuss first whether to run it alone or jointly."

"We have a lot of children in our clan, and we have a talented man, so it would be a great loss to join someone else's family!" A clan elder frowned.

"That's what I mean too. To take a long-term view, it's better for us to start a new one." Another clan elder agreed.

"That's what I mean too." Another clan elder immediately echoed.

Some of the other clan elders smiled dryly, some turned their heads to look elsewhere, and some lowered their heads without speaking.

"What do you think?" Li Shikuan still smiled, "How many of you? Well, since you all agree, then..."

"Wait a minute, how many children are there in our clan? How does Xinxiu cultivate? How much does it cost? How will the money be paid?" Li Jinzhu's throat tightened slightly, and he asked a series of questions at an extremely fast speed.

All the clan elders frowned and stared at Li Jinzhu.

"Elder Sister is right. I also want to ask, how many children are there in our clan? How can we cultivate new ones?" Li Xuedong subconsciously stood in front of Eldest Sister.

"This!" A clan veteran pointed at Li Xuedong and stared at Li Shikuan.

"Mr. Xiucai's question is very serious. Go and get that brochure." Li Shikuan bit the word "Mr. Xiucai" and motioned Li Wenliang to bring the roster.

Li Wenliang took the clan roster, opened it, and directly reported the number of children in the clan who should go to school in the past few years.

"These people are not too many. If we cooperate with other families, how much copper cash will be shared by one person? How much copper cash will be shared by one person when we build a new house? We have to calculate the account. Our Li family is not a big family, but there are many poor families." If the rich family is less, then..."

"What is she doing?"

Li Jinzhu's words were interrupted by a clan elder.

"This is the ancestral hall, how can she, a woman, have the right to speak!" Another clan elder angrily.

"Mr. Xiucai, you have to take the lead in keeping the rules. Take a look!" Another clan elder patted Li Xuedong heartbroken.

"First, elder sister is speaking for elder brother. Can elder brother speak? Second, what sentence is wrong with elder sister's speech?" Li Xiaonan stood up and asked with her hands on her hips.

"Look at this little girl!"

"How can this little girl get used to this!"

……

Several clan elders glared at Li Xiaonan, blushing with anger.
