Ever since Hejian County was captured by Huang Song, the Liu clan began to live a secluded life, and all activities and invitations were swept away.
Hearing that Jiang Pengji became independent, the Liu clan's reaction was even calmer than the outside world.
The reason is naturally because Jiang Pengji and the Liu family have had little contact in these years, neither helping the clan in times of crisis, nor supporting the clan in times of glory. Liu Shi was still a little uncomfortable at first, but after a while, he understood.
People have developed, and they never thought of benefiting the clan, so they naturally couldn't stick it up with shame.
The reaction of several clan elders was more intense, and they were quite angry at Jiang Pengji's behavior.
The Liu family did not enjoy the benefits given by Jiang Pengji, but instead involved the clan to suffer, and now when they encountered a problem, they kicked the clan away.
What a ruthless woman!
A certain gray-haired clan elder sneered and said sarcastically, "It is true that if there is a father, there must be a daughter - Liu Xizhi's parents, Liu She, were also virtuous in those days. Guarding against the clan is like guarding against thieves! Think about it, if it wasn't for the support of the Liu clan, their second room would still be able to eat the entire bamboo paper workshop
Although the bamboo paper workshop was built by Gu Min with dowry, the network resources used were not from the clan
Gu Min improved the existing rough paper-making technology, making Hejian bamboo paper a treasure that the upper-class families are eager to purchase, and the profits are terrifying.
They weren't just greedy for making paper and cooking, but Gu Min took all the profits alone, which was really ugly.
Logically speaking, she should give up a few percent of the profits to the clan.
Only when the clan is strong can they protect the clan in turn.
"This is an old thing from many years ago, why do you still mention that?" Another clan elder with gray hair frowned, "Although it is a little sympathetic, Liu Xi did this to protect the whole clan. The ancestors, the ancestors are still the ancestors.”
Money, power, and status are valuable, but compared with their own lives, their small lives are more important.
"Why can't I mention it? You old guy doesn't know the current situation of the clan?" The gray-haired clan elder rolled his eyes, still angry, "The assets of the mere two bedrooms and one household are more than the public property of the clan. How much. The clan has cultivated their father and daughter for many years, and one or two do not know how to feed back! It was not a thunderstorm a while ago. The eaves of the ancestral hall were in disrepair, and the rainwater leaked, which almost wet the ancestral tablet. My great-grandson also said that the food served by Zuxue was a little stale..."
The gray-haired clan elder said, "It's not because the clan's fields are not harvested well, the clan's accounts have been losing money year after year, and the clan chief is also worried..."
"The principle is this principle, but if Liu She's father and daughter can help the clan..."
Thinking of this, the clan elder became even more angry.
The clan nurtures them, and they should feed the clan in return.
Now that there are one or two white-eyed wolves, who can't watch it
"The situation is better than people, how can you still force them to fail their father and daughter?" The gray-haired clan elder rolled his eyes indecent, "Besides, Liu Xi is the one who separates the sect and not Liu She's second house. Now? She's a woman, and she has to get married 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, and others will think that the clan is coveting the assets of the female relatives, so it's not ashamed!"
Getting married with the same surname is against the rules of ethics.
The gray-haired clan elder pretended to be angry and felt uncomfortable everywhere.
The gentry are very bright and beautiful to the outside world, but the resources in the clan are limited, and it is impossible for every clan member to have no worries about food and clothing.
As each generation produces more and more clansmen, there is less and less that no one can share.
Many nobles are getting worse and worse, and there are some reasons for this.
The huge population is not only not a help, but a burden that cannot be thrown away.
Even if the Liu clan was placed in Hejian County, he would not be able to rank first.
The life of the first-line family is relatively wealthy, and the side branches who are out of the five servers are very poor, and the clan can only barely help.
Liu She is the second family member of the direct line. The money in this house is more than the public property of the clan. Can other clan members be jealous when they see it
If the property is not the private property of Liu She and his wife, and Liu She himself has the ability, maybe some clansmen will force them to confiscate the property.
Jiang Pengji is even more amazing. After a few years, the northern border is hers, and most of the territory of Dongqing is also in the bag. As long as the dragon robe is added, she can sit on the world. As long as she is willing, she will show a little bit of style, and help and support the talents from Liu's family, and one person will be able to rise to the sky!
Now that they have to separate their sects and draw a clear line, it is strange that some Liu clan members can feel at ease.
If you are so rich, why are you unwilling to carry your clan
Jiang Pengji will always get married in the future. Are cheap people better than cheap outsiders
Even if you know intellectually that this idea is wrong and shameful, but emotionally you can't accept it.
The two clansmen talked for a while, and there was an inexorable 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.
Since Jiang Pengji and Huang Song were in the north and south of Binghejian County, and they could not stand each other, he knew that disaster was coming for his family.
He never expected that this disaster would come so quickly and so urgently.
"Father... Now the children in the clan are talking about it, do you really need to come forward to stop it?"
Liu Heng, who was about to enter his thirties, frowned tightly, leaving a shallow crease between his brows. If Jiang Pengji were here, he might have sighed with emotion that the years are not forgiving - Liu Heng, who was elegant and witty back then, is now a mature and stable middle-aged man.
"How to explain?" Liu Ji said worriedly, "Let them go."
Liu Ji was much older than Liu She, and his hair on the temples had already been dyed gray, making him look slightly older.
If it weren't for the excellent temperament, it would probably look older.
"If I don't do anything, my cousin will really be separated from the family—"
Liu Heng still liked this cousin very much, but after the accident happened during the Hua Dynasty when the cousin was twelve years old, her whole personality changed drastically. The friendship between Fang and Erfang has faded like boiled water.
Liu Ji said with a wry smile, "Centrifiable? It's been a long time ago. Back then, when the second brother went to Hu County, he had his relatives move out from the clan... Since then, there has been no contact. Lan Ting took this opportunity to break up with the clan, Being a father is not at all surprising."
Just as he was talking, there was a sound of crutches tapping the ground, and the footsteps of many people.
"Why, why don't you blame the old man now?"
A silver-haired, shrewd old Feng Jun was holding a cane, surrounded by many maids and wives, for fear that she would fall.
