The two red seals of Mei’s bag, each with a string of new Yongle Tongbao.

A string of money is one hundred cigarettes, no wonder Mei Xiaoba feels distressed.

Mei shook her head and said, "It just so happens that there is less verbalism and more quarrel."

"Brother Chongyang, will other students give this?" Mei Xiaoba asked Gui Chongyang again.

The village often offers gifts, including ten or twenty ceremonies, and one hundred ceremonies is indeed not a small amount.

After all, Gui Chongyang and Mei Tongsheng are not only in the relationship between teachers and students, but also in the relationship between Mei family and in-laws. In addition, Gui family buys land in everyone's eyes. If the Gui family pays less gifts, it will be a dissatisfaction.

Gui Chongyang thought for a while and said, "Every household will most likely inquire about it privately. There should be no one giving it to you less, most of them will be fifty cents."

There are two classes in the village school, with about twenty people in the small class, more than ten people in the large class, and a total of more than thirty people. On average, each family has almost two cents of money.

Thinking of the number of students in the village school, Gui Chongyang noticed something was wrong and looked up and said, "Aunt, is the child's caretaker every year in the village school?"

The thirty-odd students have a hundred and ten thousand yuan in a year, which is not a small amount. If Mei Tongsheng has such an income every year, then with his tight and stingy temperament, he should have a savings in his hands, and he will not have to borrow money to sell land when encountering problems.

Mei shook her head and said, "It's the rule that your son-in-law set back then. The village school teacher has rice every year, but it's just a fixed amount of money, a few chunks of money and a few slates of rice. The other money is left to reward students who take the exam, repair the house, and help the elderly."

Mr. Gui Chongyang’s Gu is the founder of the village school and the father of Mei’s family, Grandpa Mei Er.

Back then, the village school was hosted by Grandpa Mei Er. It can be seen that it was because of selflessness in his heart and sincerely considering the villagers. However, I could imagine that after Mei Tongsheng took over, he specified that he wanted to change this rule, but that was to snatch food from the villagers, which would definitely arouse public anger and leave it alone.

"Is this money Du Li serious about it?" Gui Chongyang said.

With Du Lizheng's wealth, Gui Chongyang did not doubt his greed, but suspected that he used this money for favors.

Mei nodded and said, "It was originally a village school teacher who collected it here, so how can you use it? When your master takes over, the account book will not match the money, and then Du Lizheng will start to collect it."

Gui Chongyang nodded and said something else. But he knew in his heart that it would be strange if there was no trick in the expenses of dozens of chunks of money every year.

Du Li is not interested in greed for this amount of money. What about the villagers who have the right to suggest expenses?

Du Lizheng just grabbed the braids of these people, and these people became honest. Gui Chongyang and Gui Wu's previous plan to promote the position of the old Shangli in Meicun was probably going to fail.

Du Li seemed to be "ruled by inaction", but his methods were very meticulous. He first married the old surname, then "killed the chicken and scared the monkey" to expel the disobedient people, and then used the village school account book as a link to hold the four village elders in their hands.

Now that Du Li is losing his prestige in the village due to tax reduction and exemption and land sale, he is losing his prestige. Who would have thought that he will still sit on the Diaoyutai?

Gui Chongyang figured out this and was more afraid of Du Li.

Such a method does not look like an ordinary person? I had suspected that Du Li was a thief who washed his hands in the golden basin, but now it seems that he is wrong.

Mei did not expect that Gui Chongyang was thinking about Du Lizheng. He thought that he was impatient to go to Mei Tongsheng’s house for drinking, so he comforted him: “There are many designated people there today, so if you don’t like to stay, you will show up and come back… It’s hard for people to talk to you. In the future, if you want to take the exam with your fifth uncle, you may not be able to use it there.”

In the Ming Dynasty, the candidates must be guaranteed one another and the same county entitlement students as the county entitlement students. Mei Sheng is the entitlement student, so Mei said this.

Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "Don't worry, aunt, my nephew is fine."

Gui Chongyang is still in the filial piety period, and in the past he was also a gift. Can he really sit on a table and have a drink?

According to Gui Chongyang's original intention, he only planned to give someone a gift, and even he did not intend to show up.

However, the education in the north was late, and the rules of filial piety were not as complicated and rigorous as those in the south. Especially among the people in the city, after a hundred days of filial piety, they could not help but have everything.

"Accommodating local customs", if Gui Chongyang strictly abides by the rules and puts it in the eyes of villagers, it is not filial piety, but rather disagrees with the group.

Therefore, after discussing it, Gui Chongyang decided to show up with the past.

As for Mei, she originally wanted to go yesterday, but was persuaded by Gui Chongyang to reach today. The bride was afraid of collision, so she didn't go to the main seat.

It was Mei Duo, who was an engaged woman who should have stayed at home to embroider the dowry, and also made Mei Xiaoba encourage her to go over and have a drink with her.

According to Mei Xiaoba, if my aunt and Brother Chongyang don’t eat mats, he can eat as much as he can. That’s a loss. Eating more is a person.

After a moment, the family of four cleaned up and went directly to Mei Tongsheng's house without delay.

Mei Tongsheng's yard is full of tables and chairs, and there are about ten tables in the front yard.

The main meal was at noon, and now the people who came first were all the Mei clan members who helped. Seeing Mei clan and Gui Chongyang were quite enthusiastic, especially those aunts who had daughters at home, their eyes glowed green when they saw Gui Chongyang.

This person pulled Gui Chongyang and said that he had lost weight again.

This is to take the airs of elders and preach Mei, and she should not be careless about this good child, Gui Chongyang.

He heard Gui Chongyang laughing in anger.

If it weren't for the Mei family's face, who would know who these aunts and aunts were? They would dare to think that the fact that La Gui Chongyang's son-in-law had not yet been seen, they would be afraid to provoke the relationship between Gui Chongyang and Mei family.

The village woman's little tricks can be seen at a glance.

Gui Chongyang understood, and Mei's aunt and nephew could see clearly.

Seeing Mei still listening with a smile, Mei Duo grinded her teeth behind her back and whispered to Gui Chongyang: "I saw that these people are daydreaming. You can't be stupid. If you really listen to these provocations."

If Gui Chongyang really touched his heart with a word, the family would be unstable, and Mei Duo would be worried.

Gui Chongyang snorted: "My cousin is not stupid, can I be just a fool? You underestimate others."

The Mei family was watching the excitement, and even the Mei Xiucai and his wife were greeted with smiles on their faces, which made everyone wonder. After living this good life, they were not willing to change their steps and stepmothers and stepmothers, but they were unwilling to change their individuals. Mei Xiucai and his wife have always been arrogant, so why did they endure this tone?

He has a good memory, and when he thinks about the reason why Mei Xiucai sold the land, he feels that the couple is probably guilty, so he honestly allows his father to marry him.

However, Mei Zhi, the grandchild, was at the age of the time, and had a drooping face and no good intentions when he saw people, but no one was concerned about it.

Seeing Gui Chongyang coming, Mei Xiucai's smile on his face became three more points, so he made a special trip to ask him to talk to him.

Gui Chongyang did not feel flattered, but instead felt that Mei Xiucai's gaze had a deep meaning. After a few words, he found a yuzi to go out.

But he didn't know that Mei Xiucai also changed his face in the room.

Mei Xiucai looked at the red seal in his hand and said in surprise: "Has he got confused? This is the gift from the Gui family?"
