One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty: The War Will Start (11)

Since Hejian County was captured by Huang Song, the members of the Liu clan began to live a secluded life, pushing away all activities and invitations.

Hearing that Jiang Pengji's clan was independent, the reaction of the Liu clan was even calmer than that of the outside world.

The reason, of course, is that Jiang Pengji and the Liu family have hardly had any contact in these years, neither did they ask the family for help in times of crisis, nor did they help the clan members in times of glory. At first Liu Shi was still a little uncomfortable, but after a long time, she also understood.

The family has developed, and they never thought of benefiting the clan at all, so they naturally couldn't be cheeky and stick it up.

The reactions of several clan elders were quite intense, and they were quite angry with Jiang Pengji's behavior.

The Liu family didn't enjoy the benefits given by Jiang Pengji, but instead brought the family members to suffer, and now they encountered difficulties and kicked the family members away.

What a ruthless woman!

A grey-haired clan elder sneered, and said sarcastically, "Like a father, like a daughter—Liu Xi's parents, Liu She, were also virtuous back then. Guarding clansmen is like guarding against thieves! Liu She and his wife didn't use it Think about it, if it wasn't for the support of the Liu clan, would their second wife still be able to eat the entire bamboo paper workshop? The daughter they gave birth to is also a white-eyed wolf."

Although the bamboo papermaking workshop was built by Gu Min with dowry, the network resources used are not from the clan?

Gu Min improved the existing rough papermaking technology, making Hejian bamboo paper a treasure that the upper-class families rushed to purchase, and the profits were scary.

They are not greedy for a mere paper-making and cooking, but Gu Min swallows all the proceeds by himself, it is really ugly to eat.

Logically speaking, she should donate a few percent of the profit to the clan.

Only when the clan is strong can it protect the clansmen in turn.

"It's all been a long time ago, so what's the point of mentioning that?" Another gray-haired clan elder frowned, "Although it's a little heartless, Liu Xi did it to protect the whole clan. Ancestor, ancestor is still an ancestor.”

Money, power, and status are precious, but compared with one's own life, one's own life is still more important.

"Why can't I mention it? It's not like you don't know the current status of the clan?" The gray-haired clan elder rolled his eyes, still angry, "The assets of a mere second house and one household are more than the clan's public property. How much. The clan has nurtured their father and daughter for many years, and one or two don’t know how to feed back! A while ago, there was a thunderstorm, and the eaves of the ancestral hall were in disrepair for a long time, and the rain leaked, which almost wet the ancestral tablet. The ethnology of the clan is also not good. My great-grandson also said that the food served by Zuxue has gone bad..."

The gray-haired clan elder said, "It's not because the crops in the clan fields are not good, the clan's accounts are losing money year after year, and the clan leader is also worried..."

"That's the reason, but if Liu She's father and daughter can help the clan..."

Thinking of this, the clan elder became even more angry.

The clan nurtured them, and they should feed back the clan.

Now that one or two match white-eyed wolves, who wouldn't be heartbroken?

"The situation is stronger than people, can you still force them to be father and daughter?" The gray-haired tribe rolled their eyes indecently, "Furthermore, the independent person is Liu Xi, not Liu She. Is it? She is a woman, and she has to marry in the end—"

Having said that, the gray-haired clan elder became even more angry.

"Married? Isn't her assets cheaper for outsiders?"

"Could it be that you want her to marry the same clan? Calm down, others will think that the clan covets the assets of the female relatives, so it's not shameful!"

Marriage with the same surname is against ethics.

The gray-haired clan elder feigned anger, feeling uncomfortable anywhere.

The gentry clan is very glamorous to the outside world, but the resources in the clan are limited, and it is impossible for every clansman to have no worries about food and clothing.

As generation after generation bears more and more people, there are fewer and fewer things that no one can share.

Many gentry are getting worse and worse as they become more and more mixed, and there are more or less reasons for this.

The huge population is not only not a help, but a burden that cannot be shaken off.

The Liu family is not ranked first in Hejian County,

At most, he will have a name in the second class.

The life of the direct line is relatively rich, but the offshoots after the fifth service are very poor, and the clan can only barely provide relief.

Liu She is the second wife of the direct line, and the money of this house is more than the public property of the clan. Can the other clan members be jealous?

If it weren't for the fact that the property was all privately owned by Liu She and his wife, and Liu She himself had the ability, maybe some clan members would force them to confiscate their property.

Jiang Pengji was even more amazing. For a few years, Northern Xinjiang was hers, and most of Dongqing's land was also in her pocket. She could control the whole world just by wearing a dragon robe. As long as she is willing, show off a little bit, support and support talents from the Liu family, and ascend to heaven alone!

Now that they have to go out separately and draw a clear line of boundaries, it's strange that some members of the Liu clan can feel at ease.

If you are so rich, why don't you want to support your tribe?

Jiang Pengji will always marry in the future, isn't it better to be a cheap tribe than a cheap outsider?

Even though I know intellectually that this kind of thinking is wrong and shameful, I cannot accept it emotionally.

The two clan elders talked for a few words, and there was an indelible sadness between their brows.

They were worried, and Liu Ji, the patriarch of the Liu clan and the eldest brother of Liu She, was even more worried.

Ever since Jiang Pengji and Huang Song stationed troops in the north and south of Hejian County, and they couldn't stand each other, he knew that something bad was going to happen to his family.

He never expected that the disaster would come so quickly and urgently, and the Zhang family in Hejian rebelled and betrayed the Liu family, which caught him off guard.

"Father... Now that the children in the clan are talking about it, there is really no need to stop it?"

Liu Heng, who was about to enter his thirties, frowned tightly, leaving a shallow crease between his brows. If Jiang Pengji was here, she would probably feel that the years are not forgiving - Liu Heng, who was elegant and funny back then, is now a mature and stable middle-aged man.

"How to explain?" Liu Ji worried, "Let them go."

Liu Ji is much older than Liu She, his temple hair has been dyed gray, and he looks a little old.

If it weren't for his excellent temperament, he would probably look older.

"If you don't do anything, the cousin will really break away from the family—"

Liu Heng still likes this cousin very much, but after the accident of Huachao Festival when the cousin was 12 years old, her whole temperament changed drastically. Not only did she no longer get close to him, she even didn't exchange gifts at all seasons. The friendship between Fang and Erfang has faded like plain water.

Liu Ji smiled wryly and said, "Civilization? I have been centrifuged a long time ago. Back then, when my second younger brother went to Hu County, he asked his relatives to move out from the clan... Since then, we have lost contact with each other. Lan Ting took this opportunity to break ties with the family. , as a father, I am not surprised at all."

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of crutches being tapped outside, as well as the sound of many people's footsteps.

"Why, why don't you blame me now?"

A silver-haired, hale and hearty old Feng Jun was holding a cane, surrounded by many maids and women, for fear that she would fall.
