Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 192 Looking Back at the Village

Although Gu Yao's arrival caused a sensation, she knew that it was not to show off or to establish good relationships with these people, but to bury her third father in the ancestral tomb.

Village Chief Gu had already prepared everything. On the second day, Lei was buried in the ancestral tomb with great fanfare. Gu Yao also planned to stay here for a few days.

This is the ancestral tomb of their Gu family, and it must be renovated, and even the old house needs to be repaired.

She thought that when she got old, she might live in Gujia Village.

In the future, when the elders in the family pass away one by one, they will also have to observe mourning here.

Gu Ping saw the old house and sighed: "Mom, is this our ancestral home? It looks really nice. Although it is not as big as the houses in Beijing, it is still one of the best here."

"I spent money to build it after I passed the imperial examination. It has been repaired every year. From now on, the repair of the house will be left to you."

Gu Yao is usually quite busy and has a lot of things to do at home, so she may not be able to come very often, but Gu Ping and the others can.

"Mom, my sisters and I will come back when we have time. This is our hometown after all, and we will definitely live here well in our old age."

Gu Ping also likes Gujia Village very much. It has beautiful scenery and it is her hometown. Moreover, she likes this place and naturally has feelings for it.

After staying in Gujia Village for two days, Gu Yao went to visit his former classmates and his teacher. He stayed here for almost half a month.

She also donated a sum of money to the Gu family's ancestral hall and sent a lot of books to the private school. Seeing so many scholars coming out of the private school in Gujia Village, she was naturally very satisfied and pleased.

If Gujia Village wants to make a name for itself, it cannot just work in the fields and rely on the weather for its food. Otherwise, they will starve to death. Otherwise, why did her mother and her family become increasingly poor even though they were so hardworking?

Therefore, if you want to get rich, you still have to use your brain, study and do business, and studying can be said to be the most socially prestigious.

Why did so many people want to study there after she built the private school, even if it meant selling everything they had?

Gujia Village can be considered a village of scholars. Almost half of the people are studying. Even if they cannot finish their studies, they will find jobs in the town or county.

Every household can afford to eat meat and change their clothes every now and then.

The people in Gujia Village respected Gu Yao very much. After all, if it weren't for what Gu Yao did, they wouldn't be able to have such a life in Gujia Village.

People from Gujia Village who have studied abroad will also give back to Gujia Village, and almost every year there are donations, so the people in Gujia Village respect these scholars very much.

After seeing this, Gu Ping sighed: "Mom, the decision you made back then was really a good one. Now the Gujia Village is really respected when people go out. If they didn't know that they were from the countryside, they would probably really think that they were sent by some educated family."

"It depends on how hard they work. Even if I provide these things, if some people can't read them, there's nothing I can do. After all these years, there are still people who can't read."

Gu Yao didn’t think that all the credit was hers, after all, half of it was due to themselves.

Gu Ping immediately retorted upon hearing this: "But if it weren't for what you did at the beginning, they really wouldn't be able to reach this threshold."

After staying here for half a month, Gu Yao and the others were about to leave.

Village Chief Gu was quite reluctant to let her go. He still dreams about the days when she and Gu Yao played together at midnight.

And now Gu Yao has become the high and mighty Mr. Gu, and his whole family has become a wealthy family.

If it weren’t for her third father coming back, she probably would never see Gu Yao again in her life.

"Ayao, you guys should take good care of yourself in Jincheng. If you have any problems, you can write back. Don't worry, I will send someone to clean the ancestral tomb.

Gu Yao smiled when she saw her and said, "Thank you very much, Dazhu. I heard that your daughter became a juren. If she can take the exam, she can continue to take it. It is not bad to be an official in the capital. Educate your children well."

Listening to Gu Yao praising her daughter, Village Chief Gu's face was filled with joy. The two things she was most proud of in her life were having a friend from the same village, Gu Yao, and her daughters.

They are all very good, even their granddaughter is studying. Now her granddaughter has become a scholar, and their family has also become a family of scholars.

She was particularly grateful to Gu Yao, and thought that it would be great if he could come back instead of being an official, so that they could have a good talk then.

After saying goodbye to the people from Gujia Village, Gu Yao and his companions headed north towards the capital.

Seeing Gu Ping's reluctant look, Gu Yao smiled and said, "I didn't expect you like Gujia Village so much."

Gu Ping smiled and said, "I think Gujia Village is really good. The people there are honest and kind, and the scenery is pretty good. If I have the chance, I would like to come back again."

"We'll talk about it when we have the chance. We still have one more year of mourning to observe. After that, we'll be busy again."

Hearing the mourning, Gu Ping's face was filled with sorrow: "Mom, the elders in the family are getting older day by day. The death of my third grandfather makes me nervous. You said that my grandfather was sick again before. I don't know how long he can hold on."

It can be said that the elders of the Gu family live a pretty good life, and to be able to live to such an old age, Gu Yao and the others have indeed done a good job.

But after all, they are our relatives. How could we not want them to live a few more years?

It’s just that life’s age is unpredictable, and this is something you can’t beg for. You must die at the same hour the King of Hell wants you to die.

So no matter how much you think and worry, you cannot stop the passage of time.

After hearing this, Gu Yao sighed: "We can only ask the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to see them more often, and let the children stay with them more often. When they see their younger generations, they will be happy and naturally feel better."

Gu Yao was also very worried, especially since her mother and father were already old. Their previous poor life had damaged their bodies, and even if they took care of themselves until the end, they would not be able to maintain much.

After Lei's death, her father fell seriously ill again and almost died.

Without him, I feel a little uneasy now. I am afraid of receiving the news of his father's death again.

He thought he wouldn't be like this. It was impossible for him to lose two fathers within a year.

Gu Yao was worried, so she quickened her pace and finally returned to the capital by the middle of next month.

The Gu family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Gu Yao and the others were all fine.

Seeing that Father Gu was doing well, she was happy: "Fortunately, fortunately, his father is in good health. It seems that we should ask the imperial physician to prescribe more health-preserving prescriptions for them to drink, so that she can feel at ease."

The return of Gu Yao and the others made the Gu family lively again. Although they were in mourning, it was generally more lively because there were so many people.

Seeing how exhausted Gu Yao and the other two looked, Lin Wulang and the others felt very distressed.

He immediately asked the servants to prepare bathing supplies for them, and asked the kitchen to make some nourishing soup and some meals to be ready for them later.

They were indeed tired, after all, they had been riding at full speed. Although half of the journey was by boat, overall the journey was not very comfortable.
