Chapter 939 Relatives appearing out of thin air

After the meal, Bai Lu talked to Bai Zepei and others about ancestor worship. Bai Ruozhu was a female family member and did not need to participate, so she was happy and relaxed.

Because all the items have been prepared by Bai Lu's family, Bai Zepei only needs to pay attention to some procedures. Therefore, Bai Ruozhu's family is even more grateful to Bai Lu.

These things that should have been done by my grandfather were done by my second grandfather.

"Grandpa Patriarch, I'm afraid we will have to move our family to the capital soon after we return this time." Bai Ruozhu said, "Second brother can go to the Royal Academy to study. I also have a shop in the capital, so I don't have to worry about the expenses."

Bai Lu showed a look of relief, "Okay, okay, the capital is a good place, and Zepei will also be an official in the future."

"If our Bai clan wants to develop and progress, it's not enough for one person to be an official. I want to help the children of the clan go to school." Bai Ruozhu had discussed this with his parents and brothers early in the morning. In the past, the family didn't have a lot of money. If you dare to force yourself to be the big head, now you don't have to worry about money. It doesn't matter if you can help the young people and children in the clan. If a family wants to prosper, it still has to start from childhood. The most direct way is to study and learn skills.

Originally, Bai Ruozhu asked her father to tell the clan leader, but Bai Yihong refused to agree, saying that you earned the money and the ideas were yours, so naturally it was up to you.

Bai Lu's face showed excitement, but he soon became worried, "These, these children are very naughty, I'm afraid they won't be able to read anything, and they will waste money in vain."

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said: "You don't have to take the imperial examination route to study. Even if you can't be an official, it's good to learn more knowledge and improve your understanding. Even if you are not suitable for the imperial examination, I can send someone to teach him a skill, such as Settle accounts, do business, and some crafts, etc., the clan will always rely on these children to prosper."

"Okay, okay, it's hard for you to have such a heart. I'd like to thank you on behalf of the children of the clan!" Bai Lu said and was about to bow and salute, but Bai Ruozhu held him with his sharp eyes and hands.

"My family and I feel that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. What does the patriarch think?" Bai Ruozhu asked with a smile.

Facing Bai Ruozhu's bright eyes, Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. He understood what Bai Ruozhu meant, which was that he wanted him to control the people in the clan and not want everyone to be "fish".

Bai Lu understands this truth, not only whether Bai Ruozhu can afford it, but once this happens, it will harm the Bai family. The children of the Bai family have lost their ambition and just want to wait for others to help. Then the Bai family will really There is no chance of success.

"You are right. Don't worry about this. As the clan leader, I will fully cooperate." Bai Lu said seriously.

Bai Ruozhu's family trusted and respected Bai Lu very much, and felt relieved after hearing his words.

The Bai Lu family vacated a room in advance, and Bai Ruozhu and Deng Deng were given the best treatment and were given a small room alone. Bai Yihong and his son lived in a room with three people. Bai Lu's family was a little crowded, but no one seemed unhappy at all.

After a good night's sleep, everyone got up early the next morning and started preparing to worship their ancestors. Soon the Bai Zeji family made a donkey cart back from Houshan Village, taking the old lady and Saburo with them in the cart.

No matter whether everyone likes these two people or not, it is difficult to exclude them from ancestor worship.

Bai Yihong stepped forward and saluted the old lady, "Mom, how are you doing recently?"

The old lady glanced at him sideways and said, "I'm fine. You're not dead yet. How could I die first?"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the courtyard fell silent. Bai Lu glared at the old lady angrily. What the hell, it was as if Bai Yihong's family owed them a lot of debt.

Bai Yihong coughed twice. In order not to cause trouble, he could only hold back and say nothing.

Sanlang kept looking around the yard, but the look in his eyes made people very uncomfortable. No one in the Bailu family wanted to interact with him, so they all quietly avoided it.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at Sanlang and found that he had grown taller and was about to catch up with her elder brother. He was also stronger. The previously broken leg had healed, but he was not walking fast and seemed to have some problems.

His eyes were even more sinister, and he didn't look at anyone directly, as if everyone in the Bai clan was his enemy.

Thinking of how Sanlang had beaten Xiaosi like that, Bai Ruozhu wanted to put him down secretly and make him bedridden again.

"Where's that bastard? Don't you treat him like a treasure? Why don't you dare to bring him back?" Sanlang suddenly asked, his tone frivolous and sinister, as if he must deal with Xiaosi as long as he is here.

Bai Ruozhu was really angry this time. She should have killed this kind of person in the first place!

"You don't deserve to mention Xiaosi! You were the one who beat him the most in the past, and you have suffered retribution and still don't know how to repent." Bai Ruozhu said through gritted teeth.

Sanlang's expression became extremely ferocious, "Bai Ruozhu, it was you who caused my broken leg, right? It must have been done by a bitch like you!"

A figure flashed past and slapped Sanlang on the face. Jian Qi stood behind Bai Ruozhu again and said with a cold face: "Master is a quasi-elder of the Chamber of Commerce. He dares to insult her without mercy! Look! Since you are a relative of the master, I will only teach you a lesson this time. If you do it again..."

Jian Qi made a long voice, and the sword was unsheathed. No one saw what he did. The tip of the sword had already pointed at Saburo's throat. The tip of the sword even pierced a little bit of his skin, and a drop of blood seeped out. out.

"Ah, murder! Report to the officer!" The old lady screamed like a ghost. Before she could call me, Jian Qi's sword had been sheathed again. She just warned Saburo.

Bai Ruozhu gave Jian Qi an appreciative look. His ability to scare people was unmatched by Mu Yu.

Saburo was a bully and his face turned pale with fright. He stammered, "How dare you kill your cousin?"

"Are you dead? Do you really want to try?" Bai Ruozhu asked with raised eyebrows.

"You..." Sanlang stared angrily, but he was afraid of Jian Qi and did not dare to say anything more.

Bai Lu didn't want his ancestor worship to be ruined by Bai Fu again, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, everyone, get ready, we are going to start worshiping our ancestors."

The daughters-in-law of Bai Lu's family placed the altar and sacrifices, and then silently stepped aside. Bai Ruozhu also held Deng Deng and stood aside to watch. Bai Lu lit incense and candles and said to the ancestor's tablet. He said some words, it was nothing more than Bai Lu, the head of the Bai clan, leading the descendants of the Bai clan to worship their ancestors, and Bai Zepei, the direct grandson of the Bai clan, passed the imperial examination, which was the glory of the Bai clan, etc.

Bai Zepei waited for him to finish speaking, then stepped forward to kneel and kowtow, then stood up, took the incense candle from Bai Lu's hand, and placed three sticks of incense on the ancestor's tablet.

At this time, there was a sudden call at the door, and a hoarse male voice said: "Is this Bai Lu's house? I'm here to recognize my marriage on behalf of my old man!"

People from the Bailu family, look at me and I look at you. Is this person talking about a relative who appeared out of nowhere? ——
