Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Many of the younger generations in the clan were there, and several of Bai Ruozhu's cousins ​​had been looking at her curiously. This kind of looking at her was not a disrespectful look or examination, but with some reverence, inquiry, and even some eagerness. .

Bai Ruozhu felt a little confused when she looked at her, but she thought it was nothing. It wasn't until Bai Lu told them to do their own thing that Bai Ruozhu thought about why she felt that look was familiar.

Just like seeing the adoring eyes of fans when facing their idols in the past life, Bai Ruozhu suddenly felt a little proud when thinking of this. Who doesn't want to be respected?

But soon she felt embarrassed. She didn't have much ability, she just had the advantage of traveling through time. How could she be worthy of such admiration from her tribe?

"Girl Ruozhu, you don't look very good. Isn't there something hidden in your heart?" Bai Lu suddenly asked.

Bai Ruozhu smiled bitterly. Seeing that there were only older and more stable people in the room, he lowered his voice and said, "King Jinglirui rebelled, bribed the imperial guards to rebel, and assassinated the emperor at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve. The queen mother sacrificed herself to block the arrow. , bought time for the emperor to escape, and now the emperor has moved to Beiyu City."

"What!" Bai Lu jumped up all of a sudden, and several others were so frightened that their mouths trembled.

Fortunately, Bai Lu was also someone who had experienced strong winds and waves. He quickly sat down again and lowered his voice and said, "So Xiao Jiang didn't come back with you?"

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "He received the emperor's order halfway and went to the southwest camp."

She didn't want to lie to the clan leader, but for the safety of her clan members and unnecessary risks, it was better to follow Jiang Yichun's instructions.

Bai Lu was silent for a long time, and then he said with red eyes: "The world is going to be in chaos, and it will be us common people who will suffer in the end."

For a time, the room was enveloped in a sad atmosphere. Who said that the emperor is far away? Isn't Emperor Wuning Tang Yin in Beiyu City now? The northwest is also an important area, and we don’t know what will happen in the future.

After a while, Bai Ruozhu said again: "Grandpa Patriarch, I have discussed with my family and donated all the family property to the court to help the emperor regain power. We can make more money, but the next year and a half will be in chaos, and the business may be in turmoil. It won’t be too good, and my family’s money to fund family studies may be somewhat reduced.”

In fact, she was quite embarrassed to say this, because she was the one who took the initiative to support the clan in the first place, but now she said that she would reduce the funding even though it was not much, which seemed like she was not keeping her word.

"When the business is good and the family has accumulated money, this subsidy will still be provided according to the old rules. I estimate that it will affect it for a year and a half at most." Bai Ruozhu added.

Bai Yihong rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Second uncle, I'm really sorry."

Bai Lu suddenly opened his eyes, "What are you talking about!"

Bai Ruozhu was stunned for a moment. Is the clan leader angry now? This was not like the patriarch she knew.

"We are a family. You can donate family property to the imperial court. We, the Bai clan, are too proud. How can we still blame you for this? Besides, you are sponsoring the clan out of love. Even if you don't support it, we can only be grateful. I have no reason to blame you. Moreover, the clan has been working hard this year, and I have made a lot of profits. Don’t worry, everyone in the Bai family has been working hard. We just renovated the ancestral hall a while ago. We will be slow in the future. We can’t always let your family support us if we slowly get on the right track,” Bai Lu said.

Ha, it turns out that they complained that Bai Ruozhu's family was too polite.

"That's right, Yihong, don't worry. The family science can now operate normally, but you are really willing to give it up. Lian Ke is so impressed." Bai Lu's cousin Bai Zhanfu praised with a thumbs up.

Bai Yihong was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "I never thought that these righteous deeds were carried out by girl Ruozhu. She said that only a country has a family. If the country is in turmoil, we common people will not be able to live a stable life, and the emperor and the queen mother I have been grateful to Ruozhu and my uncle for knowing each other, so it is time for us to provide help in times of need for this friendship."

People in the room all agreed that only when there is a country, there is a family. If everyone is limited to their own small family, the world will only be in chaos.

After everyone talked for a while, Bai Lu's eldest daughter-in-law came in and said that lunch was going to be served, and everyone stopped talking.

After dinner, Bai Lu asked Bai Zeji to take Bai Ruozhu to the tribe to have a look, and also looked at the properties purchased by the tribe. Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but nodded. I have to say that the patriarch of the tribe has led the tribe very well. Ethnic studies have also been started in a decent manner, which not only benefits the Bai clan, but also children from Maple Leaf Village and nearby villages can come to school, which can be considered a blessing to one party.

So when Bai Ruozhu followed Bai Zeji around the village, many people were very warm and respectful to the Bai family, and the Bai family began to gain some fame in the villages of Shiliba.

Bai Ruozhu doesn't care about those false reputations, but for a big family to truly prosper, it often starts with the rise of these reputations.

That night, Bai Ruozhu's family stayed at Bai Lu's house. The courtyard of Bai Lu's house was also expanded to include several rooms. Their stay was not as crowded as before. A brazier was lit in the room at night. Although it was not as warm as Dilong, it was still warm in the house. It is also extremely rare in the countryside.

Early the next morning, Bai Ruozhu and his family went to the main hall to have breakfast. Their original plan was to leave after lunch, but after the meal, Bai Lu took out a wooden box and handed it to her.

"Is this?" Bai Ruozhu held the wooden box with some confusion.

Bai Lu laughed and said: "Before, you gave us financial aid for our clan school. After the clan school was established, I used the remaining money to buy properties. These properties are the wealth of our clan. I thought that instead of leaving the money, , it is better to find a way to make money produce money, so that the harvest of the fields every year will be enough for the operation of our clan school."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "What the clan leader said is absolutely true. This way the clan can develop better."

"Also, I have considered what you said before, letting the younger generations do things that suit them. Zeji, for example, is suitable for studying. He is now a child. Although the situation is turbulent now, there will always be a time when the imperial examination will be held again. I believe He can at least pass the exam. In addition, your cousin Zebo is not a material for studying, but he is good at calculating accounts and has a flexible mind. Now he has learned business from the owner of the trading house in the town. In the future, our clan will also have management Talent for business.”

She had already opened the wooden box and found that there were some silver coins and a few banknotes inside. Although it was not much, it was enough to run the clan school for two or three years.

"Grandpa Patriarch, I can't accept this!" She hurriedly pushed the box back, but Bai Lu glared at her and said, "Why are you allowed to do your best for the country, but we are not allowed to do our best? Is it possible for you? Do you still look down on our little loose money?"

"I discussed it with everyone last night. These are all voluntarily provided by each family. Everyone means that the money can be earned again. This must be done. I don't care if you give it to the court or buy grain and grass. , Donate medicinal materials, they will be used by the imperial court anyway." Bai Lu pushed the box to her.

Bai Ruozhu didn't give in anymore, but she was full of pride in her heart. She was very grateful to God for arranging such tribesmen for her father. Although her family was not related by blood to the Bai family here, she was very proud of these tribesmen from the bottom of her heart!
