Uncle Gu first went to the ancestral hall to ring the bell, a signal to summon the entire clan. No matter what you're doing, every family must immediately send someone over.
"Hey? Isn't that the bell from the Gu Family's ancestral hall? What's going on now?"
"No idea! Maybe some drama is brewing again, we do have a spectacle to watch!"
Gu Chengyu followed the clan elders and Uncle Gu into the ancestral hall, watching the Gu clan members slowly enter the courtyard. Only when everyone was inside did he close the main door, blocking the view from outside.
"I've called you all here today to make an announcement. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. The clan elders and I have discussed and formulated the clan rules. Today, I will read them out loud for everyone to hear. From now on, everyone must come here daily to memorize them until they're well-learned."
"Clan rules? What's this all about? We were doing fine before, why are we suddenly imitating big households?"
