The first wife of the strongest peasant daughter

Chapter 144 I Must Be The Patriarch

Gu Dalang never thought of taking the lead, even if their family is a big family, writing the genealogy is the first, but he doesn't think his father can do the position of patriarch.

"Da Lang! Are you so stupid!? We don't dispute those, but we can't give up all the family tree patriarchs! Let the other houses ride on our big house's head to shit and pee! In the future, the big house will never carry it. If you can’t hold your head up, you and Erlang Saburo’s sons and grandsons can’t hold up their heads either! Your daughter-in-law doesn’t have children, you don’t have a son and a half daughter, and you can’t even think of a younger generation!?” Sun began to use his children and grandchildren to oppress him.

Gu Dalang took a deep breath, "Father! Mother! A thousand acres of Yitian is not a trivial matter. There are also Yixue and Yizhuang. If the news spreads, those people surnamed Gu who migrated out will return to the village. These people are together. , Nothing is trivial. I have written to Jiulang and Wulang before, and I have said that in the matter of the patriarch, one must convince others with virtue, so that he can sit firmly and manage it well."

"What's the matter? Your father is immoral in your eyes!?" Boss Gu's face turned blue with anger.

"Father's seniority is not enough! The second grandfather is still there!" Gu Dalang frowned.

Gu Chuhan knew that there was a big family and a second house on Gu Lingshan, so it was reluctant to let him be the head of the family, but if he was the patriarch, the second house could be justified, but the big house would definitely not be able to.So I didn't even think about being the patriarch at all.

Old man Gu has a younger brother, Gu Shande, who is the most rigid and stubborn by nature, and he does whatever he says.The two sons are not cunning either, the grandchildren Hachiro Shishi and the others are in the same generation as Gu Dalang and Gu Jiulang.

A few years ago, Gu Shande took good care of his nephew's family, and also extended his hand to the third house, but the village did not know who reported that Gu Shande's wife died, and Gu's wife died of a man, so he wanted to have sex with his sister-in-law. Ashamed, she almost made Mrs. Gu angry, and Gu Shande was so angry that she almost died, so she didn't have much contact with her.

Gu Shande has the longest seniority in the old Gu's family, and he has a good temper and a good body. Gu Chuhan sees that it will not be a problem for him to survive for a few years.At the beginning of Yitian and Yixue, he also needed a more rigid and stubborn old man to sit in the township, so as to suppress those villagers and clansmen.Otherwise, Gu Lingshan would have to use all kinds of abilities to suppress it, and using money to suppress it would become coercion, so it's just right to find him!
Then choose a few clan elders from other sects, with these ancestors sitting in the town, even if the juniors have something, they dare not jump around!They were so excited that they must have carefully deducted a catty and a tael, and found out one by one, and Guanbao was doing a good job in Yitian Yixue's affairs!
Boss Gu didn't expect that they had already discussed this issue, and they wanted an outsider to be the patriarch!Even if the second uncle is the second uncle again, if he doesn't pay a penny and has nothing, he will be the head of the clan and take care of this big mess! ?
"Da Lang! You have been cheated by Gu Jiulang, right? Let your second grandfather be the head of the patriarch! What about his father? His father will definitely take care of things! Your second grandfather is just pulling out to block Arrow! The benefits belong to their family!" Sun felt that she could see through it all at once.

"Third Uncle has a business to manage! Even if Dad wants to manage it, if I really leave it to you, I can't keep such a huge property!" Gu Dalang was disappointed and sad, why couldn't his parents see clearly! ?

Boss Gu's face was extremely ugly, "With your son who is an official, I can't even hold a piece of land!?"

Gu Dalang sighed and shook his head, "Father! You should go out and try it! Even if I am an official outside, I am only a seventh-rank official. The first-level official crushes people to death. Thousands of people are crushed on my head. Whoever wants to punish me and plot against me, I dare not say that I can protect myself! It is the lack of this county magistrate, and Jiulang used his relationship to take money for me! He is still walking on eggshells even though he is valued by the current emperor. If you are not careful, you will be plotted and murdered! Do you really think that if you become an official, you will be lawless? This is also the purpose of Jiulang's raising Yitian to run a free school! Integrating the entire Gu clan as one, developing and strengthening the entire Gu clan, we are powerful Only if I can survive! Even if I or Jiulang are really broken, the Gu clan has other talents, and they will not fall!"

But Mrs. Sun didn't quite believe it, "Da Lang! You have official prestige when you become an official. You have only been in office for a short time, and you haven't learned it yet! You can't let others climb on top of you!"

Gu Dalang smiled wryly and sighed, "After the Chinese New Year, follow me to take up the post! I can barely find time to entertain the rich lords who deal with each other, but I can't entertain those wives and wives. Others bring their family members with them when they are in office. You just come with me! The workshop at home is handed over to Erlang or Sanlang!"

Mrs. Sun had this idea before, but she couldn't get used to Mrs. Meng, and wanted to get rid of her, and marry her eldest son with a good family, so that she is qualified to be an official wife!But now the Yitian Yixue at home is in full swing, and the eldest son asked them to take up the post at this time. This is obviously to take them away, and it doesn't hinder the third room's business!

Boss Gu disagreed, "You are worthless! You are the eldest grandson! You have become an official, but you have no dignity at all! Why do you want to live without fighting for anything!? Now you want us all to go, give them Jiateng place!? No way!"

Gu Dalang's face turns pale and blue.

Seeing the ugly face of the eldest son, Sun also felt distressed, and pulled him to persuade him in a low voice not to back down. If the big house wants to look like a big house, it must stand on top of the door!
Boss Gu has already stood up and called Gu Erlang and Gu Sanlang, "Go and call those families over! Discuss the building of the ancestral hall!" He is the chief house!It's the boss!To build an ancestral hall, you have to come to him to discuss!Reflect his status as the boss!
But as soon as Gu Erlang and Gu Sanlang went out, they were stopped by Gu Lizheng, who told Gu Boss and Gu Dalang to go to Gu Shande's house to discuss about the ancestral hall.

Gu Erlang and Gu Sanlang looked at each other, and Gu Sanlang laughed, "Let's discuss this with our own family first, and then discuss it with the village!"

"As I said before, it just so happened that your elder brother came back, and they all called your second grandfather's house to discuss!" Gu Lizheng waved his hand.

Gu Erlang knew that his father's plan to show his status would not work, so he turned around and went home to spread the word.

Hearing this, Boss Gu gritted his teeth in annoyance. He didn't want to go but was afraid that he would really leave him alone. He turned his eyes and walked out quickly to stop Gu Lingshan first.If the third child dares to mess with the moth, he will let Yitian fail to do it!
Gu Lingshan was really waiting for him!Seeing him coming over, he was aggressive, and smiled coldly with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Third brother! I will not stop the matter of Yitian Free School, but the ancestral hall and genealogy must be done by me!" Elder Gu stared angrily and aggressively.

Gu Lingshan nodded, "Okay! Then leave all matters concerning the construction of the ancestral hall to the big house! It just happens that the [-]-acre free field has been completed, and our third house is about to be emptied!"

"You..." Boss Gu gritted his teeth angrily, his eyes were ferocious.The ancestral hall needs to be built, at least twice. If there are officials in the family, the size of the ancestral hall can also be large, and even the land occupied, it will cost at least 300 taels of silver!The third child is going to empty out their big house!
"The third house paid tens of thousands of taels of silver, so let the big house pay for the small head of two or three hundred taels! Moreover, the status of the ancestral hall is extraordinary, and it just fits the status of the big house!" Gu Lingshan nodded and raised his foot. Go to Gu Shande's house.

Gritting his teeth angrily, Mr. Gu quickly stepped forward to stop a step, "Mr. Gu! The position of patriarch should have been taken by the eldest brother! If you dare to mess with me, I will make it impossible for your Yitian Free School to run!"

Gu Lingshan laughed, "Brother! I really don't know how you are so ignorant, how did you give birth to a good son who is as calm and insightful as Dalang! Don't you understand now? If you dare to mess with me, my Yitian will not do it! "After finishing speaking, go straight away.

Boss Gu is just angry and resentful, but he hasn't figured out what the consequences of Yitian's refusal are.

When everyone rushed to Gu Shande's house, not only Gu Lizheng, but also elders from several other schools.

Only the old Gu family has three more juniors, Gu Chuhan, Gu Dalang, Gu Wulang, two of the three are officials, Gu Wulang is famous.This Yoshida Yoshikaku is also in charge of the three juniors, so they are also here.

Gu Shande was sitting on the side seat. Before that, he didn't like Gu Chuhan's being too feminine and not masculine at all. He looked weak and useless. He couldn't even carry a hoe, let alone a sack.But now, everything is pleasing to the eyes of Gu Chuhan, and the serious face looks at Gu Chuhan with an appreciative smile.

Gu Chuhan is wearing a black and blue cotton silk leather jacket today. Although it is a regular dress, it is also half-sleeved and the hem is flying.In the eyes of the elders, there are both youthful and frivolous, but also pleasing to the eye and calm, that is how satisfying it is!I wish this grandson belonged to my family!
Boss Gu snorted coldly in his heart, "It's not about building an ancestral hall, what do you think?"

Seeing that he came out to speak, Gu Shande, Gu Lizheng and others discussed the establishment of the ancestral hall and the family tree without saying anything.

Gu Dalang's official position is the seventh grade, and the specifications of the ancestral hall can be higher. There is no need to discuss this. The place has already been selected. It is in the woodland at the north end of the village. I cut down a few trees. The potholes are leveled, and the place is enough. It is big and has good feng shui, facing south from north, as if hugging the villagers living in the village from behind, forming a blessing.

Then there is the genealogy. Yitian Yixue and the ancestral hall are both from the old Gu's family, so they are taken as the direct branch, and the others are the side branches, and then written into the genealogy from the previous generation.

There is no opinion on this, the main reason is the choice of the patriarch, and the money for seeing the ancestral hall and the righteous school.

Gu Laoer just watched the big house take it. His family earns more than the big house anyway, so he just takes as much as the big house gets.

Gu Laosi also told Gu Laosan in advance, and also told Gu Shande and Gu Lizheng that he was in the worst situation, so he should spend less.

The Wang family in Wufang is the head of the house and is planning to spend more.The third room doesn't care about things, she wants Gu Laowu to take care of things in the clan, and also let him think more about the clansmen and take more responsibilities, even if he can't take on the big responsibility, he can't learn to be like the big room and the second room in the future!She still hopes that her son will become a talent!
Before Gu Lingshan could say that he respected Gu Shande as the patriarch, Gu Boss said first, "Our family is in charge of the ancestral hall, and the genealogy is listed. Our family is the head of the house, and our family's eldest son is also the highest official, and he was born in a serious imperial examination. The future future is also absolutely good! He asked us to be the old man in his position before, but I can't just leave such a big thing in the clan for the sake of pleasure! I will never shirk the responsibility that should be on me! This The patriarch's accusation is incumbent on me!"

"Brother! It was discussed before that the second uncle will be the patriarch. He is senior and has great virtue. He is also suitable to be the patriarch. Hold your feet! What can you do as the patriarch? Is the money from your family? Or can you accept it?" Everyone!?" Gu Laoer said unceremoniously.If the boss really wants to be the master of the house, their second wife can't make any money!
"Second brother, what are you trying to do?! Slap me in the face in public? Slap Da Lang in the face!? I'm the boss, the head of the eldest family, and I can't be the patriarch!?" Gu boss yelled angrily.

Gu Dalang looked embarrassed and frowned, "Father!?"

Gu Laoer hehe, "Where did I slap you in the face? Could it be that the second uncle can't be the patriarch? We discussed it before and chose someone who convinces people with virtue, otherwise how can we control so many people and things in the clan?" Son!?"

Gu Lao Wu also spoke, "It's true that the eldest house is the head of the house, but it's still unreasonable for you to be the patriarch! The money for Yitian Yixue is not paid by your family! It's only natural for you to stand up and take charge! Tens of thousands of taels The silver came from the third brother's family!"

"This matter was also thought up by Jiulang and Wulang at the beginning!" Gu Lao Er took the opportunity to give his son a lift.

Mr. Gu was furious, and patted the table, "Are you thinking about it!? The head of the house can't be the head of the clan!?"

Gu Shande frowned, with a sullen face, "Boss, what do you want to do? It's a good thing, you really want to make trouble!?"

"I'm making trouble!? We donated the money to build the ancestral hall and do Yitian Yixue, but I can't be the patriarch!? We want an outsider to be the patriarch to manage the affairs!? Then what money do we have to pay?!" Gu Lao was furious Humph.

Gu Shande's face was livid with anger, "You..."

Gu Lizheng and several clan elders also looked ugly. Although they also felt that the old Gu's family paid money to do these things, it is understandable to be the patriarch, but the virtue of Gu Boss is not enough to be the patriarch!This first generation patriarch's top priority!It is necessary to choose someone who can stand up for the family, manage the affairs of the entire Gu family, and keep this huge family property!Since Gu Lingshan is unwilling to respect his elder Gu Shande, he is indeed a person who will not mess with the rules and do bad things, so he is very satisfied.But if Boss Gu wants to make a fuss like this, if the incident happens before it even starts, what will happen next?
Gu Lingshan sighed deeply, "Wu Lang and Shi Lang came back with Jiu Lang's letter, saying that they wanted to set up Yitian to run a free school, but the elder brother strictly opposed it! I also understand that the family is not in a good situation. The third house will pay the money! My family is willing to use all their property to set up the Yitian Free School and strengthen the entire Gu clan! But everything is not going well, and now the elder brother is talking about this again. Just now you said that we can’t do it, I... If this is the case Let our brothers turn against each other, and things are not smooth, so let’s not do this Yitian! My family will donate to the village to build a school!”

"What!? Don't do it!?" Gu Lizheng was stunned.

Several other clan elders were also a little dumbfounded. This is a great thing for the development of the whole clan!It was not easy for Gu Jiulang to set up Yitian Free School to train the children of Gu's surname to take the scientific examination and become officials. Seeing how many years later, the Gu family has grown stronger.It's all started, don't do it again! ?Everyone in the village knows about it!Just looking forward to it!
Gu Shande's face turned green with anger, and there were juniors around, he didn't want to slap Gu Boss in the face like this, so that he would not be able to lift his head up in the future, but with his appearance, he didn't pay attention to the elders at all, and even made troubles, pointing angrily at He, "You... You can really piss off your father! The juniors all have the ability to see, do you have the ability to do shit, and want to do bad things?! Selfish, only thinking about yourself! Even the juniors know that they want the whole family! You If you go out like this, you won’t even know how you died!”

Boss Gu also quarreled with him angrily, "I'm the head of the house, and I should be the patriarch! I don't know why if I go out to die, I will be the old man when I go out! They have to salute when they see me! I can't do this patriarch, so don't even think about it!"

Gu Chuhan frowned to wink at Gu Wulang, and pulled Gu Dalang out together, "Let's discuss this matter with the grandpas and uncles, if it's really impossible, let's go out and have a look first!"

After he went out, the second grandfather and Li Zheng must have resented and suppressed his father because of Yitian's failure. Gu Dalang couldn't bear it, but he didn't want to indulge him. He was dragged out by Gu Chuhan and Gu Wulang with an ugly face.

"Brother! Let them talk about the matters of the elders themselves! Let's discuss our affairs!" Gu Chuhan pulled Gu Dalang with a treacherous smile.

Gu Wulang also had this expression.

Gu Dalang looked at the two brothers, "What's the matter with us? What's the matter with you two? I'm so pissed from laughing!"

"Jiulang, tell me!" Gu Wulang smiled and pushed the words to Gu Chuhan.

Gu Chuhan found an open space and squatted down, beckoning the two of them to squat down too, "Discuss how we earn money! The money I earned before, this time I ran the Yitian Free School, and bought the dowry for my second sister, and it was all gone! The second room is not rich, and the second uncle has no great ability to make a lot of money! Brother, you will be even poorer, and we will only get poorer if we don’t become corrupt officials! Corruption is definitely not acceptable, but we can think of other small ways to earn money Make small money! Then use the small money to earn big money!" Holding a small stick, she said while drawing on the ground, expressing her thoughts.

The geographical location of their village is good, relying on a stretch of mountains, farming and planting is not a problem, but this is all small money, and the most profitable ones are in the hands of others, and their power is weak, and they can't get a share of the pie.Gu Chuhan thought about it, mining would definitely make money!And she wants to open a mine that will be reused in the future but no one else has taken the lead.So first rely on their Gujiazhuang to start a small business to earn some capital, and then invest in mining.

"As for the breeding, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, deer, minks, and rabbits! Not to mention black potatoes and konjac, we need to find a few farmers to study hybrid rice and hybrid wheat, and first increase the yield. Come up! When I find corn, I will plant corn! There are also palm trees on the mountain, which are also very useful, and I will squeeze some juice to get some sago later! And those mushrooms, fungus, and white fungus, do it all! The imperial court of agricultural and sideline products There is no limit, first use this to earn some money, and it will just make the clan work!"

There are a lot of blah blah blah blah. Although Gu Wulang has heard of it, he still looks serious, full of admiration, and keeps nodding.

Gu Dalang was shocked for a long time, "Jiulang! How did your brain grow!?"

The corner of Gu Chuhan's mouth twitched, "Father gave birth to mother!"

Gu Dalang patted her head, "You are born in our family, so it is hoped to be prosperous!"

"Blood can flow or be broken, and the hairstyle must not be messed up!" Gu Chuhan patted his head away.

Seeing that her hair was really frizzy, Gu Dalang couldn't help laughing out loud, "Tell me! Seeing the way you smile, you must have some idea!"

Gu Chuhan chuckled, "Borrow my sister-in-law for a year!"

Gu Dalang stared at her with a wrinkled face.

Gu Wulang hurriedly explained, "Brother! It's not good for you to interfere in this matter, but you have to have your sister-in-law come forward for a share. Otherwise, it's hard to talk about sending you a share of money every year!"

Gu Dalang wouldn't want to give him money every year if he didn't do anything.But considering that his husband and wife have been separated for so long, he originally thought that he would take Meng Shi with him to take up the post after the Chinese New Year.

"Come on! You stay at home for a few more days on leave, and work hard to make enough money these few days! My sister-in-law will be wronged for another year temporarily to earn some money! She doesn't have any dowry left, relying on you alone With some salary, the two of you can sit in the county government office and eat pickles!" Gu Chuhan patted him.

Gu Dalang's face turned black and then red, red and then green.Why do you work harder to earn enough money? !Kuro is not ashamed at all for saying this!Thinking of Meng's dowry, he had to take care of it, and his salary was really meager, so corruption was definitely not an option. Jiulang was trying to help him, so he sighed and could only nod, "Okay!"

The three brothers discussed for a long time, and then talked about breeding and planting. There are not only people with the surname Gu in the village, but also people with other surnames. In the village, but mainly to provide relief and development for the Gu family.Therefore, we can divide the planting and breeding among them, and let them develop themselves. Don't get pink eye disease and cause damage. After all, they all live in the same village!
As for how to divide the farmed things, how to raise them, how to grow them, process them, sell them, etc.

The three people said they were devoted, and the people in the room came out after solving the matter, and stood not far away to listen, all with serious and solemn expressions.

When Gu Chuhan said that his mouth was dry, Gu Lizheng took the lead in applauding, "Jiulang! You are indeed a genius! Our old Gu's family can produce you because of the virtues accumulated by our ancestors for several generations. Only today's planned development and tomorrow's prosperity Only hope!"

Several clan elders also praised Gu Chuhan severely.

Gu Chuhan kept being modest, and quickly asked, "How's the talk about building the ancestral hall going?"

"It's all settled! Your second grandfather will be the patriarch, and each of the Gu clans will choose a patriarch, and I will help manage the affairs!" Gu Lizheng said with a smile.

Gu Chuhan nodded with a smile. No matter how stupid Gu Chengshan was, no matter how stubborn he was, he knew that their family would not pay for the free farm, and he would definitely provoke public outrage.Those people in the village were looking forward to this good thing from heaven, and if they were destroyed by him, they must hate him!This thing can be said for sure!
Boss Gu's face was extremely ugly, he snorted angrily, and left directly, but he didn't call Gu Dalang away.Really called the eldest son away, if they have something good to do, they must leave Da Lang behind!

Without him as a stumbling block, other stumbling blocks are not a problem. The whole village held a meeting, presided over by Gu Lizheng, and then Gu Shande was appointed as the patriarch, the five patriarchs were appointed, and the responsibilities for various matters were also appointed.

Gu Silang watched coldly, and expressed his support with a half-hearted smile, but no one cared much about his opinion.

When things started to be arranged, the whole village was very happy, regardless of not doing work during the New Year, the strong labor force went out together, and quickly cleaned up a vacant lot at the north end of the village.

Gu Chuhan asked Gu Shilang and Gu Wulang to prepare everything for the kiln and brick-burning guys, and then found someone to pull soil and mud to make bricks, and then fired the kiln and bricks and tiles.

She once passed by an island village, and there was a small kiln in the village, which fired bricks, tiles and ceramics for her own village.In the future, when the village becomes richer, there must be quite a few flip houses.

For the Chinese New Year, bricks from several kilns were fired, and the beautiful red bricks and black tiles made the villagers very happy to see them.

A half-grown kid made gongs and drums, and bought two lion costumes with the lucky money. They beat gongs and drums to encourage the lions in the village during the New Year. This year is also extremely lively.

Except for the relatives of the Gu family, they are not as happy as they are.

The anger and resentment in Xie Gaozhi's heart couldn't be stopped, "He also said that we have relatives in his eyes, what the hell! From the beginning to the end, only their surname Gu was in his eyes! We have lived a miserable life, Da Lang even They don’t even have any fame and fame, and their senior high school officials are officials! They even spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to set up Yitian Free School for them surnamed Gu! They don’t even have relatives like us in their eyes! Wolf-hearted bastards! I have forgotten all my kindness!"

Although Xie Yuanzhi was dissatisfied, he didn't complain like him. He only felt that Gu Chuhan had some purpose or was really stupid.If you spend your money to support others, you can only get a good name, what else can you get! ?Helping their relatives is a hundred times better than those outsiders!
But visiting relatives, in person, is to praise Gu Chuhan again and again.

Xie Siniang's husband-in-law admired Gu Chuhan very much. Although he was called cousin brother-in-law, he pulled Gu Chuhan to toast like a fanboy.

Gu Chuhan is not drunk for a thousand cups, so why does her cousin get married and she is not at home, I am sorry to toast if I didn't make it in time, and then said good things to my cousin, and said a toast.After drinking, she had three drinks and Liu Jin had one, which directly knocked down this cousin-in-law.

Seeing Liu Jin drunk and unconscious, Gu Chuhan was fine and didn't show his face, Xie Erlang and the others were stunned.

Gu Chuhan patted his ass and left, and the rest of the relatives finished their journey in a day, and then went home to work on developing the village.

Many things are easy to say, but not easy to do, especially for these villagers who have been farming for generations.However, this hope is huge. When visiting relatives during the New Year's Eve, the topic continues to spread. It spreads to ten miles and eight villages, and everyone envies the people in Gu's Village.

Some old people who have few relatives and don’t need to leave their relatives can’t help but walk around the ground of the ancestral hall in the north of the village. The more they look at it, the more satisfied they are.

The ancestral hall in the north, the school in the south, and the bricks and tiles fired in the small brick kiln not only need to build the ancestral hall, but also the school.

There are so many things that have to be taken care of, and almost everyone in the village is busy.

The Gu family brothers are responsible for one piece, and Gu Chuhan is in charge.

The first month is good, and the foundation can only be laid and started on the 24th.

Gu Chuhan thought, if she takes two months off work, forget it, and in about three months, her second sister gets married, and she still has to come back.

Just thinking about it, Yan Jiang came over on a flying horse, "Ninth Young Master! Something happened to our Young Master!"

Seeing his pale face, panicked and frightened, Gu Chuhan's heart tightened, "Su Jin? What happened to him?"

"My lord... he's gone!" Yan Jiang's eyes turned red.
