"What Tang Ni'er said makes sense. Since we have been granted the title of County Lord, don't offend His Majesty and think that we don't know how to be grateful and behave ourselves. Then..." A clan elder said this halfway, but did not continue.
But everyone knows that it is not easy to become the county leader. If the emperor does not perform well again, it will not be easy to cancel the title of the county leader if he is not happy. In that case, the gains outweigh the losses.
"His Majesty the Emperor values filial piety the most. Since I have been favored by His Majesty and given the title of County Lord, I should set an example.
So after much thought, I felt that although being granted the title of County Lord was a great thing and should be celebrated in the ancestral hall, it would be unsightly to do so during the period of observing filial piety.
But it is always not good if such things are kept hidden from the family, so this decision was made.
The clan leader and other clan elders are all here today. Why don't we simply revise the family tree, and then wait until the filial piety period is over, and then we can have formal etiquette in our Su family's ancestral hall. "
Su Tang gave a very good reason, and with the emperor as her banner, the Su family was completely led by Su Tang, and they didn't feel anything was wrong.
Now I hear Su Tang talking about the Su family ancestral hall. Speaking of this, it is also the pain of the Su family. When their Su family ancestors came to Qinghe Town and settled in Sujiatun, the Su family also had an ancestral hall at the beginning.
But later, there was a flood, the ancestral hall was destroyed, and the Su family's life was average. So in the past few decades, although the Su family was not a famous family in Qihuang Kingdom, it was still a serious family, and it didn't even have an ancestral hall.
When Su Yongqiang heard what Su Tang said, he also sighed, "Tang Ni'er is right. Your Majesty has been granted the title of County Lord because of His great grace. We must be even more cautious and constrain our clansmen in order to live up to His Majesty's expectations."
"As for the ancestral hall, hey..." Su Yongqiang and the others firmly believed in what Su Tang said, and felt that it would be more appropriate to wait until the filial piety period was over to celebrate. But when they talked about the ancestral hall, they really sighed.
Su Tang never thought that they would not agree. Even if they suspected it, if she, the county leader, said it, could they still object
But now everyone is willing to listen to her, and Su Tang is more trouble-free. Hearing the sigh of the clan elder after talking about the ancestral hall, Su Tang also smiled, "Fellow relatives, don't worry. I'm inviting everyone here this time. First, I want to keep a low profile for the time being." Some, don’t publicize the county lord’s affairs, lest His Majesty know about it and cause unnecessary trouble, and there is another good thing that I want to discuss with you clan elders.”
Hearing Su Tang's words, the Su family looked at her.
Su Tang didn't give in. "Brother Qiang, Brother Shun, and Chang Le all know about this. Last spring, several members of the Su family followed me to raise seedlings, and they all made some money.
I came back this time just to ask the elders of the Su family if they are willing to plant two new vegetables, tomatoes and peppers, this spring. I will buy them when the time comes.
These two things were not available in our Qihuang Kingdom before. Even if I don’t buy them, I will sell them for at least ten cents per pound. "
It's a good thing that Su Tang herself became the county head, but she doesn't just want one person to be good, she wants the right to speak for the entire Su family.
If she can make the Su family live a good life, no one will say a bad word about her in the future, and no one will dare to say a bad word about her.
Enough benefits can win people's hearts, not to mention that the Su family are very loyal, and they are not the kind who don't know how to be grateful after receiving benefits. Su Tang is naturally willing to lead the people to become better. She said that one day, she will Let the Su family be her Su family.
