Chapter 679 The Single Seedling in Thousands of Lands 8
Chapter 679: The Single Miao Miao in the Thousands of Grounds 8 (Third update)
Because the second wish of the petitioner is to give his eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle and sixth uncle, an adopted heir to the family, and to train them to become talents, so that the uncles and aunts will have someone to rely on in their old age and enjoy their old age.
In addition to their five-bedroom house, it means that he must have at least six sons!
The chance of having a boy or a girl is 50/50, so it is absolutely impossible to expect a woman to give birth to a boy. Therefore, he may have many women in this working world.
At the beginning, Jianjiang planned to have a mixed-use six-bedroom house, so that the uncles and aunts in each house would have a daughter-in-law to take care of them. The children in each house would all be legitimate children, and they would be able to inherit more property and resources, as would the brothers’ birth status.
Pretty much the same.
However, this idea was killed by Jian Jian within a few seconds after it came out. It was reasonable to have two bedrooms at the same time, but it was absolutely impossible to have six bedrooms.
In ancient times, men could have many women, but they could only have one wife.
His situation meant that the family fortune he earned would have to be divided into six parts. After all, those children were all his children, right?
In addition to dividing the family property into six parts, the simple heart must also be divided into six parts. After adoption, the children are no longer concubines, so there is no way to distinguish them in upbringing.
Therefore, the children of the fifth family born to the legitimate wife will at most get a small share of the family property and a big share of the official career and connections, but certainly not the rest.
Putting all the conditions together, the requirements for wives are quite harsh.
First of all, if the concubine adopts a concubine, he will become the legitimate son of another house, and the child's mother will almost become the daughter-in-law of the other house. So the legitimate wife should not manage the concubines and concubines of the husband, but should do it for the sake of the uncles and aunts.
Treat your concubine as your sister-in-law and be tolerant in everything.
Furthermore, in this dynasty, the division between legitimate concubines and concubines was quite clear. For example, the eldest son received 80% of the family property, the second legitimate sons received 10%, and the concubines received a total of 10%.
Therefore, this also means that the legitimate wife has to watch the property belonging to her children be distributed to the concubine's children, and not just a little bit.
Looking at the conditions, it turns out that being a wife in this mission world is really hard.
However, there is no way, this is not what Jian Yi wants. Now Jian Yi can only try to choose a wife with a strong family background, sufficient confidence, a big heart and a virtuous heart, and then try to favor her and her children in all aspects of life.
It's too late.
For example, in the future, the family property will be divided into ten points. The five-bedroom house will get ten points, and the other five-bedroom houses will get one ten-cent share.
Hey, the tasks in this world are really daunting.
There are many thoughts in my mind, but in reality they only happen in a moment.
Looking at the teacher who was looking at him with a smile and full of earnestness, Jian Yi shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Not yet."
Magistrate Zhang is such a smart person. He knew there was something going on just by looking at Jian Yi's face, so he hurriedly asked: "But is there something unspeakable? Is there anything you can tell me? I can help you with the details."
Jian Yan hesitated and said: "I'm afraid the student's marriage will be more difficult."
"Why is this?" Magistrate Zhang asked.
He briefly and slowly talked about the difficulties at home, what might happen after his wife gets married, and his own thoughts about each house and children.
After saying that, the room became quiet for a while, and you could hear a needle drop.
This is the first time even Magistrate Zhang has seen this kind of thing. It’s the first time he’s encountered it, so it’s so difficult to handle!
Magistrate Zhang looked at his unlucky apprentice with pity, sighed, and then slowly said with relief: "Master Yi, I understand your difficulties. This matter is indeed quite difficult."
"But it's not a big deal. Let's just see each other slowly."
"You have good looks, good knowledge, good conduct, and a bright future. Your family is harmonious, and there are many girls from good families willing to marry you."
Originally, Magistrate Zhang kept Jian Yi at his wife's request to talk about the two families she was optimistic about and ask for their opinions.
It's fine now. Needless to say, he has to make his wife look good again.
Jian Yi lowered his head and was comforted by Magistrate Zhang. Then he pretended to be persuaded and regained his energy. He shyly thanked him: "Thank you, Teacher, for enlightening me."
The reason why Jian Jian wants to explain his difficulties in such detail today is because he wants his master's wife to look up to him. After all, he is a man now and has few girls to come into contact with.
And even if he could use spiritual detection to screen out qualified girls, he couldn't ask them if they were willing to accept their family's situation.
So she had no choice but to ask her wife for help.
As for the grandparents, aunts, and mothers in the family, well, that’s not necessary. After all, they don’t have much contact with each other, and they don’t easily integrate into the circle of wives. Those who meet his wife’s qualifications are unlikely to get in touch with them.
After leaving the matter to the teacher and his wife, he simply put his hands down for the time being.
After setting a time with Magistrate Zhang and Zhang Yongyong to take a boat to Beijing to take the exam, Jian Jian returned to Lao Ji's house.
Jian Yi's return was once again warmly welcomed by the whole family. Soon, all the aunts and cousins who had not gone out rushed over. Everyone crowded in the main hall to talk to Jian Yi, and exchanged greetings with each other for a while.
At the same time, Jian Jian also received baskets of gifts, including robes made by her aunts, purses and handkerchiefs embroidered by her sisters, which made Jian Jian feel so heartbroken. The old lady and Ji's mother beside her even narrowed their eyes with laughter.
It became a seam.
In the evening, after the uncles and Ji's father came back, Jian Jian told them that he would go to Beijing to take the exam soon.
"Hua'er, why don't dad accompany you? It's so dangerous outside. I heard there are bandits in many mountains and forests." Ji's father looked at Jian Yan worriedly.
Mr. Ji glared at Ji's father and cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't cause trouble to my dear grandson."
Ji Daman nodded and agreed: "Lao Wu, if you don't worry about the caravan, can you still worry about the soldiers in Ren Zhifu's house? And now that Hua'er has passed away, he will be a guest in Ren's house.
It would be inconvenient for you to go there."
When Ji's father heard this, it seemed to make sense. It was Magistrate Zhang who had a master-disciple relationship with his son, not his father and grandfather. It would be inappropriate for him to live as a guest in the past.
Therefore, before Jian Yi could take action, Ji's father's idea of following him and Zhang Yongyong north to Beijing to take the exam was abandoned by his grandfather and uncles.
It's not that Jian Yan has any thoughts about Ji's father and doesn't want to take people to the capital, but that Ji's father has been too nervous with him during this period, even more than other people in the family. He greets him several times a day and insists on it.
She had to watch him study hard and not allow him to do any other activities that had nothing to do with reading. He even had to personally bring him water to wash his hands, change his clothes and fan him, which made Jian Jian feel at a loss.
All the family members saw Ji's father's strange behavior, and they probably understood why he was so nervous, which made people feel uncomfortable.
However, for this reason, everyone in the family did not agree with Ji's father going to the capital like a frightened bird, for fear that it would affect Jian Yi.
Regarding this, what can Jian Jian say? Jian Jian feels that Ji's father is in the same state as the original owner in the original plot. He is under too much mental pressure and puts all the burdens of the family on himself.
Seeing that his uncles had persuaded Ji's father to come down, Jian Yi found something for Ji's father to do, and tried to get people to go as far away as possible to see the outside world.
After arranging things at home, I picked a good day and set off by simple boat.
