Chapter 1030
His father has only been a fourth-rank official after half his life, and the fourth-rank official is still precarious.

Therefore, on the basis of not being implicated, the old men made a new decision in their hearts, that is, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not to be implicated!

It's not that the Wen family has never been an official. There have been officials in Beijing in the past dynasties, but none of them have been from the third rank as soon as they entered the officialdom.

In the face of this absolute glory, they unanimously decided to take advantage of this ancestor worship to report the misdeeds of Wen Chengxu and Wen Haonan's father and son to their ancestors, and hold a meeting at the ancestral temple.

As long as the people living in Wenjiazhuang have no objections, they will start rebuilding the roster before the new year. When the ancestors are worshiped in the new year, Wen Haotian and Wen Shi's Menglei will form a family of their own and take the family tree alone.

At this time, the family tree is the household registration in a family, and it is also a comprehensive index of identity and background with a large number of sub-categories.

Each house receives a sub-volume, in which there are detailed records of the situation of each house, but above the sub-volume, there are different levels of summary family trees such as the big sub-volume and the general volume.

If Wen Haotian manages to separate this time, Wen Chengxu's family tree will not update his situation, but will end it.His future begins with his own family tree, and he will also become the head of the new generation.

This situation is somewhat different from modern times.

But the ancient family was huge, and the family members also multiplied. If it is not subdivided, even a tree or a ring cannot record the renewal speed of members who take in a concubine, take in a housemate, or give birth to a concubine from time to time.

Wen Haotian and his wife in the Hui family used several large horse-drawn carts to drag gifts, and sent them to every household with elders. When they saw children coming to greet them, as long as they were juniors, they would all have red envelopes.

After that, ten thousand taels of banknotes were presented to the family temple as the incense oil money for this ancestor worship.

Such a large sum of money has never been done before, and everyone was stunned for a while.

But he explained humbly that he didn't come back to show off, but wanted to do his part to support the clan.In addition to the sesame oil money, another 5000 taels of silver was given to the family school as support.

But pens, inks, papers and inkstones and books are not given much except for enriching the library of the school, and only a small part is provided every year to reward the younger generations of students who study hard.

As for the reason, it is that I don’t want to enrich scholars. Without any worries, I can concentrate more on my studies, but the disadvantages may also be to raise unprofessional, unlearned and incompetent dudes.

Wen Haonan is a negative example!

Only those who can bear hardships can endure hard work, and only those who know how hard-won are hard-earned will cherish them.

Even his fame today is not in vain. He was enlightened at the age of four, became a famous teacher at the age of six, and became the head of the case at the age of 13. He traveled around the world for five years, failed the local examination, continued to travel, entered the county school, opened a bookstore, and became famous all over the world.

His current achievements are also due to a lot of hard work that others don't know.

In the school, Wen Haotian gave an impromptu speech on the topic of reading and life, which not only won warm applause from the scholars, but also unanimous praise from the gentlemen.

Although he has to come once a year, he has to support the school with 500 taels of silver, and he can also say these inspirational words, but the reading boys have grown up year by year, even if the same words are different in different age groups. Think differently.

When I was young, I listened to the excitement, but when I grow up, I will feel it.

Naturally, Wen Haotian's popularity and popularity in the family far surpassed that of his father, and as for Wen Haonan, no one was familiar with it.But when they had a rare chance to get acquainted with each other, what they heard was all kinds of bad deeds.

They had heard about these things before. After all, Wenjiazhuang was separated by a town to the north of Qingyang County, so even if such a big event was delayed, it would always come.

Therefore, the scolding spread from the school to the family temple and ancestral hall. Naturally, everyone would not object to Wen Haotian's splitting up, and even clamored for the patriarch's grandfather to split up quickly, and don't wait too long to prevent changes and miss major events.

The patriarch and the others naturally have their own ideas, and what they are waiting for is everyone's approval. Even if Wen Chengxu comes to make a fuss, will there be public outrage from so many clansmen?
After worshiping the ancestors the next day, Wen Haotian's goals were basically achieved. Adding gifts and red envelopes, the cost was nearly 2 taels.

Wen Chengxu, who was on the way back to Qiyunzhou, never expected that the unfilial son would move so fast. He can afford 2 taels, but how can he compare with an unfilial son who runs a bookstore as an upright official?
What he doesn't know is that since Wen Haotian opened the first bookstore, he has tried his best to support the clan, and the 500 taels he gave to the school every year is [-] taels.

Moreover, there are discounts for people in the clan to patronize the bookstore, but they don't specify how much discount or how much they will give away. As he said, he doesn't want to enrich people with bad intentions.

Wen Haotian and his young wife stayed in the clan for two days to complete these tasks, and also went to worship at his mother's grave.On the third day, we set off in the dark early in the morning, and arrived at Shijiapo at noon to return home.

In order to speed up, this time he was riding a horse, and the gift for returning home was Xiaolin driving a carriage and waiting at the entrance of the town. After the rendezvous, they took a carriage and Xiaolin returned on horseback.

The schedule is tight, and the time can only be grasped well.

When the Shi family saw that the people who came back at noon had not returned, they couldn't help looking anxiously in front of the door, and even attracted the villagers to watch the fun, but no one dared to speak sarcasticly.

Today's Shi family can't afford to offend.

Even the old lady of the Shen family ran over on purpose and asked, "Why hasn't Meng Lei returned home? Isn't she not coming back?" She was ridiculed and scolded by the neighbors in the village.

It wasn't until the carriage came from the entrance of the village that everyone's anxiety, nervousness, and uneasiness turned into loud shouts, and the firecrackers were lit and crackled.

Wen Haotian stopped the carriage at the gate of the courtyard, turned around and jumped down with Menglei in his arms, his intimate gesture immediately aroused gratified laughter from the elders.

Menglei was already a married woman, and she was already dressed as a woman. At this time, she got out of her husband's arms with a blushing face, and saluted her family.Wen Haotian cheerfully followed suit, then turned around and took the gift from the carriage.

The crowd of onlookers had no interest other than the wine jars, they were all staring at the boxes stacked high at the door of the carriage, wishing they could see through the boxes to see clearly what was inside the boxes.

The Shi family distributed candy to the neighbors in the village, and they all went into the house. Shi Yixiang drove the carriage into the yard behind, closed the gate, and shut out the eyes of watching the excitement.

Knowing from Menglei that after marriage, the Hui clan worshiped the ancestors, entered the roster and even separated the family, the adults of the Shi family were very moved, Menglei married a good husband.

Wen Haotian and Menglei went back to the county without staying after lunch. Apart from the custom of not staying overnight at their mother's house when returning home, they also meant to hurry before dark.

Of course, I have to go to my uncle's house the next day.

After returning, there were Wen Jiuye's house, Fat Aunt's house, and even the county magistrate's back office had arranged two tables.
