Li Zhongzhi seemed to have expected it. He helped the oldest Fourth Master sit down on the chair next to him. He turned to look at Li Tian and said gently: "Sister Tian, ​​if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Auntie, on the anniversary of the death of my grandfather and grandmother, what are you planning to do this year?" Li Tian looked at Mrs. Yang with tears in his eyes and asked. Mrs. Yang's face became more blue and black, and Li Tian didn't wait for her to answer.

, and then said: "This ritual just started yesterday. The gold-leaf paper horse was driven out overnight the day before yesterday by someone from outside. This shed was put up by someone from the brokerage house in the afternoon the day before yesterday. All the people here came from outside.

The person hired by the Sixth Bureau of the Bureau was my nanny, and she used the dowry money left by my mother to me. Aren’t my grandparents the parents of my uncle and my mother-in-law?”

Li Tian stopped talking here, covered his face with a handkerchief and began to cry sadly. Mrs. Yang's face turned from green to white. Li Zhongzhi frowned, looked at Li Zhongchao and asked gently: "Sister Tian said, what on earth is going on?"

?Sacrifice is a big deal." Several old ladies also looked at Li Zhongchao. When he explained, Li Zhongchao looked at Mrs. Yang in disbelief. Mrs. Yang was so stunned by him that she turned to stare at Li Tian fiercely.

Said: "What do you want to do again? Are you still finished?!"

"Shut up!" Li Zhongchao suddenly shouted loudly, shocking everyone. The sixth old man took the cup of tea from the mother-in-law's hand and just raised it to his mouth. He was frightened by the loud shout and his hand shook, and the cup

The tea hit the ground loudly.

"What are you doing?" Li Zhongzhi looked at Li Zhongchao with a tense face and scolded him. Li Zhongchao's face was dark, and he turned to look at Li Tian, ​​his voice full of sadness: "You?? You say it, you can say whatever you want.

explain."

Li Tian's grievance and aura seemed to have turned into tears due to Mrs. Yang's question and Li Zhongchao's angry shout. He covered his face with a handkerchief and said with tears streaming down his face: "This is the anniversary of the death of my grandparents. I pity my father and mother... Mr. Yong Guo."

The mansion is the direct eldest son of the Li family. Now, as the head of the clan, Uncle Datang does not say a word or do anything. Could it be that the Li family has been so ruined? I just want to ask Uncle Datang, Duke Yongguo’s mansion has not had a chief priest for more than ten years.

As a person, my father’s eldest son has no heir, is the uncle really turning a blind eye, or is he pretending not to?"

Mrs. Yang's face was ashen, her throat gurgled a few times, and she lit Li Tian with trembling hands, but she couldn't speak. Mrs. Xu blinked her eyes repeatedly. This was completely beyond her expectation, and she couldn't react.

Mrs. Liu San's eyes were wide open, her mouth was half-opened in astonishment, and she turned to look at her husband Li Zhongjing, only to see that Li Zhongjing also had a dumbfounded look on her face. Grandma Zhou didn't know, and she didn't care about the rules of the Li clan. She married

In the past few years, the Yongguo Palace and the Li family had not had much contact. She had long been accustomed to the fact that the Yongguo Palace was the Yongguo Palace, and the Li family was another Li family. Now she saw the shaky Yang family.

Madam, with a confused look on her face, Li Xiaozu swallowed nervously and looked at his father and then his mother, not knowing what to do.

Li Zhongzhi lowered his head and admitted his mistake and said: "What my niece blames most is that my cousin lost his duty as the clan leader and made our ancestors uneasy and almost missed important events." As he said that, Li Zhongzhi turned to look at several clan elders.

He asked respectfully: "Fourth uncle, sixth uncle, seventh uncle, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

The three elders looked at me and I looked at you. The fourth elder was the oldest, so he coughed a few times and said: "You are the clan leader. Please come up with a charter first. I will discuss it with your sixth uncle and seventh uncle."

.”

"There is an iron rule in the clan that a concubine is not allowed to serve as the main priest. Duke Yong's mansion is the eldest son of the Li family, so the eldest son cannot be allowed to serve as the eldest son. This breaks the principle of offering sacrifices. Besides, it is also a big deal for Sister Tian to offer sacrifices to her parents after their death.

What I mean is that you have to choose a suitable adoptive person from the direct family members to adopt to the fourth room of Duke Yong's mansion." Li Zhongzhi's words were unambiguous.

Grandma Zhou understood now, her mouth was half-opened, and her eyebrows were raised. Li Xiaozu looked at Mrs. Yang in fear. Mrs. Yang calmed down after hearing what Li Zhongzhi said, and stared at Li Tian fiercely.

Tian lowered his eyes, pressed the handkerchief to the corners of his eyes, and stood quietly, only sobbing occasionally.

"This is right. What does Zhongchao mean?" The three clan elders glanced at each other. The fourth elder looked at Li Zhongchao with a kind smile and asked. Before Li Zhongchao could answer, Mrs. Yang took over the topic and said:

"This is not something he has the final say on his own. He has to listen to what the second master and third master want first."

"Adoption is possible. There are rules for adoption. The rule is to get close first and then grow apart. The eldest brother is the one who is the filial piety to the ancestor, and the filial ancestor is the eldest son. This cannot be adopted. I think we should let Xiaosong take charge of both families.

"Second Master Li Zhongming was ignorant and fearless in his wishful thinking. Mrs. Xu's eyes were full of golden light and she hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, this is the most suitable method. If you want to adopt an adopted child, who is more suitable than our Xiaosong?

"

The third master, Li Zhongjing, frowned and was about to speak, but Mrs. Liu San pulled him. Li Zhongjing looked back at Mrs. Liu and swallowed the words that came to her mouth. Mrs. Liu San, looking back and forth at everyone, was making her own little calculations.

Looking at it like this, the fourth house must be adopting an heir. I don’t know how difficult it will be in this house in the future. The fourth house has an heir, and it was Wu Nizi who made the decision. She will definitely help him in the future?

?It seems that we have to find a way to separate the family as soon as possible.

"Unmotivated thing!" Li Zhongming, the fourth old man, glared angrily and scolded: "Your surname is Li, and you don't even know the rules of the Li clan? Your eldest cousin just said it clearly. This adoption is for your eldest son to inherit the family and the chief priest. If a concubine gives birth to a son,

If you can inherit the family, why should you use the inheritance?"

"Our Brother Song is a legitimate daughter!" Mrs. Xu, who was extremely clumsy, argued with her neck stiffened. The fourth old man glared at her angrily, but the sixth old man laughed out loud and patted the fourth old man.

Said: "She is a stupid woman, please ignore her."

"This is all a sincere plan for the eldest son," Li Zhongchao glanced at Li Tian, ​​then looked back at his son, and said in a tired and low voice: "Fourth brother should have adopted a son long ago. It's my fault. This guy, you guys

Let’s pick someone sensible.”

"Back then, the old lady gave the Duke Yong's palace to Sister Jing as a dowry. This is an adoption, and there must be an explanation for the separation of the inheritance." Mrs. Liu San couldn't help shouting, Li Zhongzhi frowned, and the seventh old man said

He laughed and said: "What we are discussing today is adoption. As for the division of property, that is a matter for dividing the family in the future. How to divide the family is a matter for your brothers. We cannot discuss this today."

"What the Seventh Uncle said is," Li Zhongzhi took over the words: "Since everyone feels that adoption is inevitable, the matter can be considered settled." Li Zhongzhi pondered for a moment and looked at the three clan elders: "This is the person who will adopt the family.

, you have to choose carefully.”

"This is all a matter of rules, and there is nothing to choose from. It's just a matter of getting close first and then growing distant. When it comes to getting close, your father is the direct younger brother of Duke Lao Yong. You are the closest to this family. You are the eldest son. First of all,

From your family, Xiao'an is the eldest son, so let's choose Xiaoning." The fourth old man was straightforward, and the sixth and seventh old masters nodded in agreement. It is not a good thing to adopt the Yongguo Duke's palace, and there is no title after the adoption.

Secondly, no one in the clan knows that Duke Yong's mansion has been empty for a long time. Although the Li family is not a distinguished family, they all live a prosperous life, especially the old masters. Their families all live better than those in Duke Yong's mansion.

, and does not intend to let his descendants adopt him.

Li Zhongzhi didn't say yes, nor did he say no. He turned to look at Li Tian and said warmly: "What do you mean, Sister Tian?" Li Tian bent his knees and said, "Tian'er listens to the arrangements of our cousin, Weng Weng."

"Yeah," Li Zhongzhi agreed and turned back to look at Li Zhongchao. Li Zhongchao lowered his head. Mrs. Yang looked at everyone angrily. It turns out that adoption is so simple. It turns out that all her hard work in the past ten years is worthless. It turns out that she was too late.

After thinking hard, she posted countless coins, but they were all worthless! Madam Yang suddenly jumped up, rushed over and overturned the tribute table, turned around and rushed into the inner courtyard.

"Auntie!" Li Xiaozu screamed in horror and hurriedly chased after her. Grandma Zhou also hurriedly followed Li Xiaozu in. Li Tian glanced coldly at the furious Mrs. Yang, lowered her eyes again, and looked around.

The old lady watched Mrs. Yang suddenly lift the table, blinked her eyes, and breathed out softly. The seventh old lady glanced at the sixth old lady, and they both shook their heads.

The adoption of the fourth house of Duke Yongguo was decided so simply. Li Zhongzhi's second son, Li Xiaoning, and his wife were transferred from Li Zhongzhi's house to the house of Yongguo. They were recorded in the name of Li Zhongxian, the fourth house, and became Li Tian's brothers.

Sister-in-law.

Mrs. Yang held on to her words, transferred the ownership, and became a member of the Yongguo Duke's Mansion. However, Mrs. Yang forcefully refused to enter the Yongguo Duke's Mansion. The Yongguo Duke's Mansion was small and there was no place to arrange the newly released four people.

Heir to the house, if you want to live there, go live in Qingtongyuan.

Li Tian was lying on the couch in the upper room of Qingtong Courtyard, squinting his eyes as he listened to Yin Hua talk about how Mrs. Yang had kicked out Li Xiaoning who came to greet him, and how the servants in the mansion were talking about it. He listened to Yin Hua's detailed explanation.

, lowered his head and grasped the agate beads on the corner of the handkerchief, thought for a moment, looked at Yin Hua and said: "The third room has spoken to the third room, and said that I said that since there is no separation of households, each room should be handed over to the public servant."

If you win, you won't lose a single point." Yin Hua smiled and bent her knees and agreed. She looked at Li Tian and waited for her to give further instructions. Li Tian glanced at her and smiled and said: "Don't pay attention to the second room, the third room and the first room.

Mention, the second roommate must agree. By the way, Grandma Zhou also said the same thing. My eldest brother received a repair job from the shop downstairs. I don’t believe Grandma Zhou is willing to take out the proceeds from my eldest brother.” (To be completed.)
