Chapter Twenty-Three

Wang Qinghong was still thinking about delaying the pick-up for a few more days, but Mrs. Wang had already received the news and left the city for Xishan Temple.

The old monk didn't hesitate and told him directly why he was invited to go up the mountain. Since the Wang Cui family wouldn't allow it, he planned to select a family in need of an heir and adopt the Taoist idiot.[]

Mr. Wang's eyes immediately lit up, and he said eagerly: "There is no need to find someone else. Qinghe died unmarried, and there is no one to carry the incense!"

The old monk shook his head and said: "You have seven grandsons. If you wanted to arrange for someone to inherit the incense of Qinghe, you would have arranged it long ago. Why do you have to wait until today? Don't join in the fun... The world is ignorant, and the horoscopes of Taoist idiots are indeed taboo.

It’s better to choose a family with a small family, who is not afraid of these taboos, regardless of wealth, and it doesn’t matter if you are from the outside family..."

Mr. Wang still refused to give up and said: "Fifth uncle, I am not afraid of taboos. I really like that child... Rather than giving others an advantage, it is better to be my grandson. I will treat him as my own grandson and love him. I will never let that child

I feel a little wronged."

Mrs. Wang's admiration for Dao Chi was not a temporary thing. He had already praised him several times in front of the old monk. The old monk could also see that he really liked Dao Chi.

However, the four generations of the clan have lived together and the family has not yet been divided. If we really want to adopt the Taoist idiot to the name of Wang Qinghe, the third son of Mrs. Wang who died of illness before marrying, that means that when the clan is separated, the title of the third bedroom will be changed from the third son to the third son.

The interest disputes involved in the four-bedroom apartment are not trivial.

Even if these family properties now belong to Mrs. Wang, in the eyes of the clan's grandsons, they still belong to them. Money is very touching, and when it comes to money, brothers can turn against each other, let alone spare their nephews.

Even if the elders and younger generations of the clan did not stop him from adopting Wang Qinghe's name, even if he had no parents in name, his grandparents, the eldest uncle and aunt of the eldest son's wife, and the second uncle of Jingtang, could do it.

The number of elders of the Lord is not less, but has doubled compared to when he was in the Twelve Rooms.

The old monk is experienced in the world and would never let a Taoist idiot fall into a complicated situation just for the sake of temporary benefits.

Thinking of this, the old monk said: "Even if he doesn't become your grandson, you can still love him. Why bother to cause resentment among your children and grandchildren just for the sake of status, and do bad things with good intentions."

Mr. Wang did not give up and said: "Then the adoption will be under the name of Qingxi... I will go and talk to Qi Lang."

Qingxi is his fourth son and the father of Wang Qi.

The old monk shook his head and said, "Wang Qinghong won't even give a nod to the truth of adopting a son."

Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "I am not lucky..."

He thought for a while and said: "As for the families that have been having trouble choosing heirs recently, there are usually two-bedroom families in the clan. One is a young man with three-bedroom families. He has married three-bedroom wives and taken in more than ten concubines.

He didn't give birth to a single leaf and a half. He celebrated his fortieth birthday at the beginning of the month, and he revealed that he was looking for someone, and that he was destined to have no biological children, and he wanted to choose an heir from the clan. Qinghan was a man who could organize things.

The family's business extends from Guangzhou to the capital, and they are one of the richest people in the family. Now I don't know how many people are trying to give their son to the third wife as their heir..."

At this point, he felt his throat was dry, so he drank half a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "The other family that has died is Qingzhou from Waijiufang. The current head of Waijiufang, Wang Ning, is from the clan.

She is a chaste woman who lost her husband at the age of 18 and has neither begged nor relied on. She guarded a dozen acres of land, lived in a tight diet, and took her only son, who was under one year old, to observe the chastity for more than 30 years. When she was fifty years old, she went to the Yamen of Zhizhou to go to the imperial court.

, was given a chastity memorial arch. Qingzhou also strived for success, won the imperial examination, and went to Beijing to take part in the examination. Everyone thought that life in the outer nine houses was getting better, and they didn’t want God to mess with people. On the way to Beijing, Qingzhou encountered water bandits and was killed.

He cut his body into the water and fed it to the river fish. Qingzhou's daughter-in-law got the news and became seriously ill, so she went with her, leaving behind a pair of young children. Wang Ning was also stubborn, still neither seeking nor relying, and raised her grandchildren.

The grandson also lived up to his expectations. The year before last, when he was fifteen years old, he had to take the boy's examination. The county, government, hospital and all three levels were at the head of the case. Even the magistrate personally summoned him to commend him. Unexpectedly, before waiting for the provincial examination that year, the child got an emergency.

Get through it, and then it's gone...Although three generations of Waijiufang's ancestors and grandsons have achieved fame, all three generations are young and their family wealth is poor. The Wang Ning family also has the bad reputation of being a "criminal restraint" and has a better family background.

Yes, who would be willing to send their son over to endure hardships to earn a living; but there are also poor families in the clan who take a fancy to the word "Jiurenmengmen" and want a share of the pie. The Wang Ning family looks down on them, so the matter of inheritance has been postponed. Now their family

When your granddaughter is about to have her hair, whether it’s a marriage or a marriage, the issue of an heir must never be mentioned again.”

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if a childless woman marries a wife, she must share the family property equally with the heir.

There are two choices, the former is not only rich, but also the head of the house, and has a speaking position in the clan; the latter is poor, a branch of the family, with only women and children left in the family, and no help.

For the old monk, there is no need to choose.

Therefore, he knew that for the Shilin officialdom, a wealthy family was not worth the four words of "innocent birth".

No matter how much money Sanfang has, he is still in a lowly business as a merchant, and his clan members will be envious of his wealth. But outside, it really means nothing. If the family is not protected, he may have been swallowed up long ago.

Although Waijiufang is poor, he has a scholarly family and an innocent family. For a Taoist idiot, his ancestor is a member of the family, his father is a judge, and his brother is the head of the case. This is definitely an origin that will not be shameful anywhere.

It was a complete surprise.

A grandmother who is in her 60s, a sister who is about to have haircuts, and a simple population, so she does not need to worry too much about taking care of her family.

"You will send someone to send Wang Ning over tomorrow, and I will see her first... If she doesn't find fault with Dao Chi's character, let Dao Chi inherit the outer ninth house..." the old monk said.

Although Mr. Wang is the patriarch of the clan and has never been an official in his life, he still has the reputation of being a civil servant. For a moment, he wanted to understand the key, nodded and said: "For Shiro, the ninth house outside the inheritance is indeed more appropriate than the third house.

Some...money is just a trivial matter, but fame and future should be the most important thing..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang hesitated and said: "Twelve-room three-generation single generation, and in Sanlang's generation, there are only three brothers... Even if the Wang Cui family doesn't like Silang, I'm afraid Qinghong will not be willing to adopt him out...

"

Most of the families who are willing to give up their sons are those with many sons and a small family fortune. Moreover, the side branches are usually adopted to the direct branches. After all, people go to higher places.

The twelfth brother does not have many sons and does not lack family property. His status in the clan is also higher than that of the outer ninth brother.

The twelve-fang was raised by his concubine and was brought back when he was ten years old. There was some criticism among the clan members. If he adopts his son out again, who knows what gossip will arise. Wang Qinghong cherishes his reputation, even if he follows the wishes of the Wang Cui family

, if you raise your concubine outside, you may not agree to give your concubine a heir.

The old monk's face was as dark as water, and he said: "When we meet Wang Ning and discuss this matter, I will talk to that bastard."

Mrs. Wang was surprised and said: "You want to..."

The old monk nodded and said: "It's been a while since then, and the emperor has been changed three times. What else is there to be taboo about? I've lived to be ninety years old, so while I'm still not confused now, I'll make arrangements for the Taoist idiot.

There is nothing more I can ask for in this life..."

Although there was a suitable successor family in Waijiufang, the old monk did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he felt deeply helpless...

*

When Mrs. Wang came down from the mountain, the old monk called Dao Chi into the meditation room and talked to him about the selection of heirs for the third inner and outer ninth houses. Then he said: "Since you want to join Prince Xing's house as a companion, what about the inheritance?"

It's cheaper sooner rather than later. I'll ask the clan leader to take the Wang Ning family up the mountain tomorrow. If they are of good character and don't have much trouble, I'll choose this room. You don't have to worry about your father, he will come forward to explain it to you."

The Taoist idiot did not expect that the news would come out so soon. He looked at the old monk and took two steps back. This time, he did not perform Buddhist etiquette, but a head-turning ceremony. He said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Master, for making it possible..."

The old monk took a long breath and said quietly: "Although the status can be cut off, the bloodline can't be cut off... If you can pull the Twelve Fangs in the day of your prosperity, then you can pull the Twelve Fangs..."
