Chapter 767: There Is No Way to Get a Farmland

Looking at the energetic Xiao Wu, he was still wearing new clothes. No need to ask, they must have been made by the Zhang family's mother and daughter. Baiyunxi looked up and down and nodded.

"Not bad, very good."

Xiao Wu straightened out his clothes, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground with his forehead on the ground, "My son has been hanging out for several months, which makes my mother worried. "

Looking at Xiao Wu's posture, Bai Yun Xici looked at him carefully. He was indeed a newly minted master, and his aura was really different. Look at this expression, look at this posture, especially those deep eyes.

These are changes visible to the naked eye.

"Get up and talk. We, mother and son, don't have to do this."

"My mother's words are wrong. My son is grateful for your training. Without my mother's encouragement in the past few years, my son may not have achieved the results he has today. My son is deeply grateful and thanks his mother for his upbringing."

Xiao Wu said, and kowtowed again, with a bang, Bai Yunxi's cheeks twitched, he was really a little old-fashioned.

"You are talented in reading, and these are the results of your hard work. If you are not good at reading, it will be useless no matter how much you supervise me."

Bai Yunxi looked at him and spoke softly,

"You are very successful, and Mom is very pleased. The lintel of our family has been re-erected with you... Mom has prepared the offerings. You can take a short rest and go to the grave with your second brother and fourth brother to comfort your father's spirit in heaven. "

After listening to Baiyun Xi's arrangement, Xiao Wu agreed. As soon as he returned to the room to wash up, there was a noise at the door.

The Bai family heard that Xiao Wu was back, and almost all of them arrived.

Looking at the people in the half yard, Bai Yunxi's scalp tightened, and he ordered his wife and daughters to prepare tea, let a few people sit down in the main room, and asked the second brother to move a few chairs. The older ones and those with higher seniority were all prepared. Sit alone.

"Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, why are you all here in such a cold weather?"

The old clan leader looked at Bai Yunxi and stroked his beard with a smile, "Xiaowu worked hard and won the prize. This is a major event for our Bai clan. How can we still sit still? We have to come and take a look."

"I have long said that Xiao Wu is destined to be the number one scholar, and sure enough, next spring, it will be time to go to Beijing to take part in the examination. We are all looking forward to Xiao Wu's success."

Bai Laosan was holding the pipe pot, his eyebrows and beard were completely white, and his smiling eyes were narrowed into slits, like an old birthday star.

Listening to San Bo's tone, Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly,

"It's also Xiaowu's good luck. He won the title of Juren, which is enough to comfort his father's spirit in heaven. As for participating in the examination, it depends on God's will."

"What the third uncle said is that if Xiao Wu is destined to be the number one scholar, he will definitely pass the exam."

"That's right, her sister-in-law must not be modest. Xiaowu has a promising future, and we are happy to see it."

"That's right, our Bai family is as close as one family. This is a great event that honors our ancestors, and we can all take advantage of it.

Listening to the compliments from everyone, Baiyun Xi looked calm.

"Fifth Five is still young. If you know how to try, you can try to reach out. As for those who don't win, don't have too much hope, and don't put too much pressure on Xiao Wu."

Everyone is the icing on the cake, so naturally she knows what is good to hear, but she can't take it seriously.

Bai Laosan looked at the basket prepared on the table and the yellow paper placed inside.

"Xiao Wu wants to visit the grave?"

"Yes, Xiao Wu got the result, which is what his father is most happy to see." Bai Yunxi picked up the basket and handed it to the second child who was waiting at the door. He asked him to put it on the corridor first and entertain the guests before going to the grave.

】

Listening to Bai Yunxi's explanation, several people nodded.

"That's the truth. Yunhui knows something underground, so it's time to rest in peace."

The old patriarch said, looking at the new Xiao Wu,

"After worshiping your father, choose an auspicious day to worship your ancestors. Just take care of the ancestral hall."

As soon as he said this, Xiao Wu pursed his lips and looked at the people in the room, and nodded.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll go to worship my father first. I'll discuss ancestor worship with Grandpa later."

The old patriarch pondered for a moment and nodded, "In this case, we won't delay you. It's the same as discussing it later."

With that said, the old man stood up directly on crutches, and a group of people left noisily. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard someone asking the old patriarch in a low voice.

"Old man, why didn't you mention the farm?"

"Yes, we are all waiting for you to speak."

The two people speaking were both members of the Bai clan. They held the old man's arms and urged him anxiously.

The old patriarch glared at them, and when he turned around, he saw Bai Yunxi standing not far away, his expression suddenly awkward.

Baiyunshan walked at the end and also heard these words. He frowned.

"What are you talking about? Although the meritorious service can grant you a tax exemption of 200 acres, my cousin's own farmland is already on the rise. How can there be any extra for you to rely on?"

Baiyunshan said and glared at the two people.

When their faces turn red, they don't want to give up.

"It's enough to give him two acres, but it doesn't take much. After all, we all belong to the same clan. If An Sheng is admitted to the Juren Examination, he can't deny him all the glory, right?"

The tax saved on two acres of land is almost as much as one person's rations.

Listening to the man's tone, Bai Yunxi narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Xiao Wu.

Then he turned to look at that person, his tone was calm,

"It is a great joy for my son to pass the primary school examination. I am willing to share the joy with my clan members. But don't think about the matter of being affiliated with the fields. My cousin is right. My family has many fields and there is no more for you to be affiliated with. ”

As soon as Bai Yunxi finished speaking, those people were unhappy.

"Aunt Bai is so unkind. When Father An Sheng was here, every clan member would be given one or two acres of land, so we didn't ask for more..."

Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Yunxi's cold face.

"If you mention it to me before, then I'll ask you, our family was so kind to you in the past, how did you repay it?"

Listening to Bai Yunxi's impolite question, everyone was stunned and subconsciously lowered their heads or turned their heads away.

"I don't want to mention the past. You insist on dragging me to settle the accounts. I don't mind the settlement..."

When they heard about the liquidation, everyone looked unhappy, feeling guilty and unwilling.

Bai Yunxi looked at everyone mockingly,

"Having said that, don't even think about working in the fields. If Xiao Wu is a member of the imperial examination who is supported by the whole clan, it is absolutely non-negotiable for him to give back to the clan. It is an obligation and responsibility. But my son has never been away from home to study and passed the exam. I have never eaten a grain of rice from my clan, and I have never asked my clan to raise a penny for education. I welcome you to congratulate you, and I will prepare tea, water, and melon seeds. If you dare to make unreasonable demands, don’t blame me for not caring about my clan members. ”

As soon as Bai Yunxi said this, everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked at the old patriarch.
