Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 944: Male Lead Outsider

As the real head of the family, unlike Liu who stays at home, Gu Erzhu, who works outside the home, cannot go home early even if he is extremely tired today.

Qian Huaizhi, Cheng Xianyu and others went back home, but the old patriarch and elders of the Gu family still asked him to go to the village.

It could be that he was asking whether the county magistrate had returned satisfied, or that he was trying to find out about the relationship between Gu family's Qilinzi and the county magistrate.

This time, even though his eldest uncle and second uncle had not sent their juniors to wait for him, he had to go see the elders first when they invited him.

The treatment he received was similar. The head of the Zhou family also sent people to wait for Zhou Sishun on the road. The two relatives did not have time to say much. They looked at each other and then split up.

Each of them brought their eldest son with them. Gu Erzhu arrived at the home of the Gu clan leader first. When he arrived, Gu Erzhu saw that almost all the elderly people of the old Gu family were already seated in the main hall.

Of course, this does not include his old man who accidentally sprained his ankle this morning, but there are all these old men and middle-aged men in this room, all looking at him?
His legs were about to go weak.

Quickly bow.

"Alright, alright, why are there so many rules?" Old Uncle Gu waved his hands impatiently, his face full of wrinkles.

Don't be too happy!
Gu Erlang, who was not even qualified to enter the main hall, escorted his father to the door of the main hall. After his father went in, Gu Erlang bowed outside and retreated to the sides of his eldest cousins, then he heard these words.

He almost mistakenly believed that the elder's words were directed at him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Otherwise, he would have responded loudly for fear that the old man had poor hearing.

It was also at this time that he discovered something very interesting. Almost every family of his grandfather's generation had an eldest grandson guarding outside the main hall, but his grandfather's eldest grandson was the only one who didn't have one.

He didn't even have to think about it. His cousins, who were of the same generation as his father and the eldest sons of the "Yang" generation in each family, were not present even though they were in the east wing at this moment.

Does this count as his grandfather's family line? His father is already the eldest son, so he is also the eldest grandson? I just wonder how his good uncle feels when he finds out.

It is said!

According to the information his wife got today, when his parents went to the nursing home this morning to visit the old man who had sprained his ankle, they did not hear anyone mention that his uncle was recuperating at home.

but!

While his parents were sitting in the main room, his good uncle was lying on the kang in the west room, and the door was closed tightly for fear that someone would push it.

It's just like covering one's ears and stealing the bell.

Why bother!
If he was smart, he should take advantage of the opportunity when his parents were sitting in the main room and apologize to them in person instead of hiding.

Even if this will not bring the two families closer together, at least he has done it and taken responsibility for it. On the contrary, now that he is avoiding the issue, it seems even more irresponsible.

"I heard that your grandfather sprained his ankle this morning. Did you two brothers go there?"

While Gu Erlang was thinking about it, he and his cousin beside him listened carefully to the movement in the main room. However, he never expected that someone pulled him from behind and asked him something in a low voice.

"Your third uncle's Wulang accompanied your third uncle to visit your grandfather this morning. Your third uncle also wanted Wulang to go to the city to find Dalang and tell Dalang something."

And this thing?
Where is my uncle?
Gu Erlang looked at the other person in confusion.

This person is the eldest grandson of the Seventh Grandfather, Gu Wenfeng, who is three or four years younger than him. He is usually close to Wu Lang, so it is not surprising that he knows this. However, their yard is next to his uncle's house. Could it be that the Third Uncle did not pass by his uncle's house before taking Wu Lang to the old yard?

"But later it seemed that your uncle said that Sanlang and Silang went to the city to look for Dalang this morning. I wonder why Dalang is still nowhere to be seen even though Sanlang has returned."

It turned out that he overestimated his status. It was not that Dalang was not regarded as his grandfather's eldest grandson, so he didn't stay here and listen to what the elders in the main hall said.

Rather, Dalang has not returned to the village at all, otherwise there would be a place for Dalang here! "Really? Maybe he is busy with his studies and can't come back for a while."

Gu Wenzhan realized something was wrong when he heard the mocking sound. He quickly waved his hand and winked at Gu Erlang, indicating that Gu Erlang should follow him and talk at the back.

Gu Erlang glared at him unhappily and quietly took a step back, pointing his finger at his great-grandfather's eldest grandson Gu Wenzhan, who was Gu Wenyu's elder brother, who was standing in front of him.

To be honest, among those present, including Dalang, his great-grandfather's eldest grandson Gu Wenzhan was the true eldest grandson of their Gu family.

Naturally, the status of this eldest cousin is also unique. If nothing unexpected happens, this eldest cousin will be the next patriarch of their old Gu family.

For the sake of his great-grandfather and great-uncle, he couldn't leave without permission when his great-cousin was waiting for orders from the elders inside.

Moreover, he had something urgent to do and had to leave first to go home, or he was still whispering with Gu Wenfeng in the back of his great-grandfather's house.

Gu Erlang didn't know if Gu Wenfeng understood what he meant, but he saw Gu Wenfeng tiptoeing and stretching his neck to come over stealthily, "He is busy with his studies, aren't you afraid that I will laugh my teeth off?"

"…" Then what do you want me to say? Gu Erlang glared at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and whispered, "Be careful that your eldest cousin will hear you and punish you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wenfeng glanced ahead guiltily, and seeing that his cousins ​​in front of him did not turn their heads, he could not help but smile, and stretched out his handkerchief and put his arm on Gu Erlang's shoulder.

You are so small, and you are still holding me like this, aren't you tired? Gu Erlang didn't know whether he should take the other person's arm down.

Well, no thanks!
"Who doesn't know who? He has taken the county exam so many times and he can't even get a tongsheng. He is still busy with schoolwork. It's so funny!"

This mouth!

But listening to it makes me feel so comfortable!

"He is just deceiving outsiders. Everyone in our Gu family knows his character. He is afraid of being tired from working in the fields. He is almost thirty years old, but he still insists on staying in school."

That's exactly the truth!

Although he is still a few years away from the age of 30, his children are already grown up. It would be shameless for him to expect the whole family to raise his wife and children.

"Only your grandfather thinks that his eldest grandson is destined to be an official. Any scholar who is destined to be an official cannot even pass the examination for a scholar, so all the money he has spent is wasted.

It was fine before your family split up, anyway, you spent all the money from the public treasury, but now, I heard from Silang that the family can no longer support his eldest brother's studies."

I can’t hold on any longer!
As long as the money can be mobilized, they can make up for the shortfall. Not to mention the money owed to others, they had already paid back the forty taels of silver owed to San Ya before borrowing again.

Otherwise, everyone knows the principle of "borrowing and returning, it is not difficult to borrow again". They just can't make up for the loss with just one thing, so they just give up and set their sights on that grocery store.

It's a pity that they forgot that not everything can happen once, twice, and three times. After the third time, there is no chance anymore. So when their family asked for the third time, Liu Lang decisively refused Si Lang's request to borrow money!
