I saw a few people in front of the road, followed by a group of young people riding tall horses, and then there are two gorgeous sedan chairs.
The sedan chair was surrounded by people, and a long line of men and horses fell behind.
Look at this situation, there are 50 or 60 population alone!
And look at these people's dress, that is called a bright yo! Men's eyes are dazzled!
"Is it not the emperor's tour of the south of the Yangtze River?" He guessed in a low voice that his feet had already given way to the side to give way to the team.
Naturally, the team passed by him. No one turned his head to look at him, whether it was the one who opened the road or the rear.
Helplessly, the man watched the team come to Gu Tuo's door.
Then, the first Gonger rushed to knock on the door: "dare to ask is it the villagers Gu Tuo's house?"
Gu Tuo came out. "I'm Gu Tuo. Are you?"
"The imperial court has a decree, and the villagers of gujia village, Changshou Town, Qingshan County, Jiangbian Province, receive the edict from Gu Tuo!"
On hearing this, all of them were awe inspiring.
So, she hurriedly gathered together the incense table. Xia Ying and the children came out together. The family knelt down on the Xiangtan money. The old eunuch with white beard and white hair came out of the sedan chair, slowly unfolded the bright yellow edict in his hand and began to read it word by word.
"It was carried by heaven, and the emperor ordered that..."
Then, a couple of crazy nonsense, just a few words about Gu Tuo's contribution to the capture of mountain bandits years ago, and then a praise that Xia Ying had never heard of. He almost boasted about Gu Tuo in a different way!
In the end
"The imperial edict gives Gu Tuo a hundred mu of good farmland and a hundred taels of gold, which is a tribute to him."
After listening to this lengthy edict, Xia Ying kowtows with Gu Tuo. "Long live my emperor
Seeing that Minghuang's edict was sent to Gu Tuo's hand, Xia Ying couldn't help looking at it more.
I didn't expect that she would have the chance to see the edict with her own eyes in her life!
Although the so-called imperial edict was not issued by the Emperor himself, it doesn't matter. At least in gujia village, this remote small place, the weight of this edict alone is enough!
Gu Tuo's face was calm. Even if the edict was in his hand, his hand did not shake even for a moment.
But the patriarch is happy and crazy!
He quickly took the initiative to step forward: "a few officials, we have come from afar, hard work. Villain, let's kill chickens and ducks, and prepare a table for you
The one who read the edict glanced at him and turned away.
However, the disdain of his eyes is obvious.
Seeing this, the county magistrate who accompanied the proclamation said, "in fact, the lower official has already ordered people to prepare the banquet in the county government office, and your bedroom has also been cleaned up. Now that the edict has been read out, let's turn back quickly! Otherwise, if we delay for a long time, I'm afraid it will be dark when we return to the county seat! "
"Well, let's go." Duke an nodded coolly.
A group of people on the mighty left.
Although the dislike is still a little embarrassing, it is still a pity to be abandoned by the clan leader.
Respectfully seeing off these people, he ran to Gu Tuo. "Togo, you are really promising! Now even the emperor knows your credit
"Oh, does he really know? This thing is clearly made up by the people of the Ministry of punishment to fool us, but it's just a trick of the fool! " Gu Tuo said coldly.
The patriarch was white with fear.
"What are you talking about, brother? Pooh, Pooh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
After several times of taunting, he pulled on Gu Tuo. "This is the first time that our grandchildren of gujia village have received a decree! Such a big happy event, we must tell the ancestors to know! Let's go and open the ancestral hall and invite the ancestors! "
Gu Tuo did not move.
The patriarch pulled him several times, but he was helpless to turn back. "Togo, why don't you go?"
"Second uncle, let me enter the ancestral hall. But I have to go in with my daughter-in-law and my children Gu Tuodao.
"How about that? You can't go in with GE fu'er-in-law! According to the rules handed down by ancestors, women are very unlucky. They can't enter the ancestral hall! "
"But half of the credit I have made this time is due to my daughter-in-law. Therefore, if you want to tell Gu's ancestors this news, she must be present. If she can't get in, I won't either. "
"Togo! Don't you mean it The ancestors blushed.
Gu Tuo lowered his eyes. "I've done a good job, but if even I can't let my daughter-in-law and children share the glory with me, then this credit will not be of any use to me."
As he spoke, he threw the edict to the ground!The patriarch rushed to pick it up and hold it in his arms.
"Brother Tuo, you..."
He wanted to scold. But looking at Gu Tuo's firm expression, he finally shut up.
"Well, let your daughter-in-law and your daughter-in-law come in! However, such an opportunity is only once, and we can never make an exception next time! "
"Second uncle, how can this be done?" Did the man actually give in when he saw him? He quickly exclaimed, "for generations, there is no rule for women to enter the ancestral hall. Why can Gu Tuo's daughter-in-law enter? What if she went in and angered her ancestors and let them blame them? "
He was really scared. Many villagers began to shake their heads.
Gu Tuo said: "we want to enter the ancestral hall by ourselves. Even if there is an accident, we should be blamed by our ancestors. We can't turn to you!"
"And we have already planned that we don't want the reward of 100 taels of gold. We will take them all out and rebuild the ancestral temple."
Boom!
No matter how much opposition, they are far less than Gu Tuo's words!
A hundred taels of gold, that is, a thousand taels of silver, he didn't leave one or two for himself, and took out all of them to build the ancestral temple?
The patriarch's eyes twinkled with joy. "Tober, are you serious? So much money, all of it? "
Tuogu nods. "Yes, all of them! First, repair ancestral temples and memorial tablets for the ancestors, and the rest of the money will be left in the clan to see who has the old, weak, sick and disabled who can't take care of themselves, or whose children are smart but can't read because of poverty, so we can help them. "
"Of course, it's up to you to handle all these fairly. I'm still young, and I don't know as much about family affairs as you do, so I won't interfere much. "
He's so cheerful!
Such a large sum of money, said not to do not want!
Under this, the patriarch's heart is thoroughly happy, the others are also blocked by the heroic spirit of 100 taels of gold, and can no longer spit out a word of opposition.
