Chapter 254 Seventy percent (two more)
The clan elders next to were stunned at first, then thoughtfully, turned their heads and whispered to each other.
“Gu Jian, did you lose your title because of you?” the patriarch asked coldly, with every word of his heart, “You lost the title of your ancestor, and now you have to disobey the rules of the clan!”
The patriarch stared at Gu Jian coldly, with anger in his eyes.
Gu Jian seemed to be slapped in the face after being slapped in public, with a hot face.
When he was in the palace, he held his breath, but he was afraid that the palace would lose his honor, so he could only hold it down, but now that they have returned to the Hou’s mansion, the person he faced was not the emperor who was high above and who had the power to kill and kill, but a An old man with no official status.
The humiliation that Gu Jian had buried in his heart for a long time suddenly erupted like a volcano, and he scolded: “You people who are high and low, now I’m only down for a while, you’re going to bully me, aren’t you?!”
“Uncle, you don’t even think about you… and you guys, how did you get the good days now? It’s not me, my father, my grandfather!”
Gu Jian became more and more excited as he spoke. He pointed at the patriarch and the patriarch, and felt that they were really inferior. It was obvious that they relied on the Hou Mansion to have a good life today.
He is only down for a while now, but he may not have the time to turn around in the future.
One emperor and one courtier, as long as King Kang ascends to the top of the treasure in the future, he will surely make the Hou residence return to its former glory.
That’s right, he definitely can.
Gu Jian told herself over and over again in her heart.
said a lot, even he believed it, his eyes were burning.
“Snapped!”
The patriarch slapped his palm on the coffee table heavily, furious.
The atmosphere was instantly tense to the peak.
He raised his finger and pointed at Gu Jian, who was a few steps away. His right hand trembled and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: “Gu Jian, you don’t follow the rules of the clan, and you don’t look down on me as an old man, then I really can’t help you. Let’s get rid of this room.”
The two words “Excluding Zong” caused an uproar in the hall.
Gu Jian’s face was pale, and he swallowed hard.
The clan elders also gasped.
Since ancient times, a person’s surname has represented the clan to which a person belongs, which is a person’s “root”.
Exclusion is to expel a person from the family and remove the name from the genealogy, which means that the person has no roots.
Normally, only a person who commits a heinous crime will be excommunicated.
“Father.” Gu Xiao looked at Gu Jian nervously.
He was only fourteen years old, and in just one incense stick, he had to face the two major events of his father’s deprivation and excommunication, which made him completely lost.
Gu Jian was equally panicked in her heart, but she held on strongly on her face, made a strong look, and said firmly, “Uncle, it doesn’t matter if you say it alone.”
After hearing what his father said, Gu Xiao raised his neck again.
“Wait a minute!” Mrs. Gu Tai’s voice suddenly came from the direction of the gate.
Mrs. Gu Tai appeared at the gate of the main hall with the help of Li Ma.
She had just rested in the carriage for a while before she regained her senses. She learned from Li Ma’s mouth that there was a branch here, so she hurried over, not wanting to hear the angry voice of the patriarch outside saying that the second house was to be removed from the clan.
Mrs. Gu Tai’s face was as pale as paper, and she thought more and more deeply than Gu Jian.
As Gu Jian said, what the patriarch said alone does not count, but if more than 80% of the clan elders agree, then the second house can be forcibly removed from the clan.
Now that the second room has lost the title, these people in the clan are hating it.
Not only the patriarch, but other clan elders are afraid that 99% of them will agree to take revenge on their second room.
The wall was pushed down by everyone, and now the second room is in trouble, I am afraid that no one wants to step on it, and a few people will help in the snow.
Mrs. Gu Tai stepped into the main hall and hurriedly explained to the patriarch: “Patriarch, Hou… Ah Jian didn’t mean that.”
Mrs. Gu Tai walked to the center of the hall and stopped, slowly looking around the familiar faces in the hall, set her mind, and said in a calm tone: “Although Ah Jian has been there, but Gu of the eldest room back then Tactics, committing the crime of subjugating the enemy.”
As she said that, she gave Gu Yuan a faint glance, the implication being that this time the second room had been there, but the long room was not much better, and she was not qualified to inherit the family business.
Mrs. Gu Tai said plausibly: “The third, fourth and fifth rooms are all descendants of concubines, and it is even more impossible to inherit the family business.”
“This title was lost by the Second Household, and the Second Household will be responsible for earning the title back.”
Her words were actually well-founded. Gu Xiao nodded frequently on the side, thinking that he was no worse than Brother Hall. They are all ancestors. What a great-grandfather can do, so can their descendants.
“Push.”
As soon as Mrs. Gu Tai finished speaking, a crisp laughter sounded softly, breaking the original condensed atmosphere.
Gu Yanfei’s laughter was very harsh to Mrs. Gu Tai’s ears, as if her eardrum was repeatedly stabbed by a needle several times.
Mrs. Gu Tai clenched the string of beads in her hand, couldn’t help but looked at Gu Yanfei and asked, “What are you laughing at?”
Gu Yanfei rested his cheeks in one hand, and his smile was as beautiful as dewdrops on the tip of petal grass.
She said slowly: “My great-grandfather gathered troops and joined the state in his early years, and later he returned to Emperor Taizu. He followed Taizu’s northern expedition, broke the capital, and defended the two northeastern states. He has made outstanding achievements. Taizu gave the Gu family the Marquis of Dingyuan.”
These remarks made the clan chief and clan elders feel a little excited, and nodded again and again, especially those who were over fifty years old and who had experienced the hard days of the previous dynasty when they were young, even more showing the color of reminiscence.
The next moment, Gu Yanfei’s tone suddenly became cold, and he asked with a light smile, “You want to earn, how do you plan to earn it?”
Her eyes swept over Gu Jian’s body lightly, “Do you want Wen Neng to put a pen to settle the world, or Wu Neng to set the world on a horse?”
“When it comes to riding and shooting, I’m afraid I’m not as good as me!”
Gu Yanfei sighed and shook his head.
When she said this, everyone followed her gaze to Gu Jian.
At this moment, Gu Jian’s face was extremely ugly, blue veins burst out on both sides of his forehead, anger filled his skin, causing his body to tremble subtly.
Not only the patriarch, but also the elders of the clan who were present watched Gu Jian grow up. Gu Jian was not successful in writing and martial arts. He had neither taken the imperial examinations, nor had he ever been on the battlefield. That is, Gu Ce had an accident eight years ago. Only then did Gu Jianbai pick up the title.
Gu Jianjian is really capable, so he won’t lose his title, and he won’t have any military exploits for eight years.
Unlike Gu Yuan, he entered the military camp at a very young age to hone his skills. Two years ago, he went to the coast with the Imperial Army to fight against Japanese pirates. In 2008, Gu Yuan had already shown his sharp-edgedness and had risen to the rank of 4,000 households. Now he has made a contribution to the rescue, which is very similar to Gu Yao and Gu Ce’s style back then.
Seeing that the situation had changed again because of Gu Yanfei’s few words, Mrs. Gu’s face was sinking, she glared at Gu Jian and motioned him to say something.
Gu Jian also really spoke up and said angrily, “Gu Yanfei, you are a troublemaker, the family is not at peace because of you!”
Up to now, Gu Jian still does not know how to review.
The patriarch was extremely disappointed, and resolutely made a decision: “The long house Gu Ce is the direct descendant of Yuan’s concubine, and Gu Yuan is Gu Ce’s only son. This business is inherited by the long house, and it is justified.”
The elders of the clan have already heard the explanation from the patriarch, and they all know that Mrs. Gu Tai is the successor, and Gu Ce is the son of the big Qi clan in front.
Do not! There was a voice in Mrs. Gu’s heart, screaming with a bit of hysteria: “Gu Ce has surrendered to the enemy!”
The usual graceful and dignified woman couldn’t hide the mean look on her face at this moment.
The patriarch asked indifferently: “Then, can the court have a decision?”
“When the younger brother and sister made an upturn on the grounds that Gu Ce surrendered to the enemy, could the late emperor be convicted?” The patriarch looked at Madam Gu Tai mockingly.
“…” Mrs. Gu Tai seemed to be blocked in her throat, unable to say a word.
Everyone knew that Gu Ce was guilty, but the late emperor did not formally convict him.
The patriarch stared at Mrs. Gu Tai’s dark eyes, and said: “Gu Jian falsely accused and deceived the emperor, and he was punished for both crimes. This was the result of his dismissal. This is the emperor’s personal decision today.”
“If Gu Ce is guilty and cannot inherit the family business, then Gu Jian is even more unworthy!”
Gu Jian was so ashamed and annoyed by the words of the patriarch that he could only dig a hole and get in.
The patriarch didn’t even look at him, he looked around the other clan elders and asked, “What do you guys say?”
Every time the clan elders think of Gu Jian’s loss of the title, they feel heartbroken, angry, and even resentful.
At this moment, even the several clan elders who are close to Gu Jian on weekdays are no longer on Gu Jian’s side, and they all made their stand:
“The patriarch is right.”
“Gu Jian committed a heinous crime and has a flawed character. He really can’t afford to be a family business.”
“If the family business is in his hands, I’m afraid it will be completely lost.”
“…”
Even the younger brothers of the old Marquis Gu Xuan also stood up to express their stance, and they all chose to support Gu Yuan.
For a time, Gu Yuan became what people wanted and what everyone wanted.
The patriarch was satisfied, his eyes were bright, and he made a decision while the iron was hot: “Then I will act on behalf of Cousin Xuan, and in the future, Cousin Xuan’s lineage will be inherited by Gu Yuan, the eldest room.”
“According to the ancestral system, 70% of the property is inherited by the one-family house.”
“The long house accounts for 70%.”
