Xujiawu Fort, in the master bedroom of the south building, a lady with a delicate appearance and about twenty Xu knelt on the couch and wiped her tears silently. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing this, Xu Yun reluctantly put down the book and sighed: "Yueniang, my father wants to raise Hui'er personally, this is a good thing, why do you have to make such a demeanor and make my father unhappy?" ”

"How can the slave not know these truths? It's just that when I thought that Heng'er had only been raised by the slave for two years, he was taken away by his grandfather, and now Hui'er ...... again, "Thinking of Xu Heng, the eldest son who is not very affectionate to him, Ping's began to wipe his tears again, "The slave can't control his tears and ......falls down."

Hearing her say this, Xu Yun had to sigh.

Xu Ze married his wife Pingyang Huo, and had a total of three sons-in-law, the eldest son Xu Rong was the most outstanding, and he was famous all over the world when he was young. The emperor heard the name of Xu Rong, summoned him to Jiankang, several Qing talks and strategies played right, the emperor greatly appreciated Xu Rong, Xu Rong of the eighteenth year of the year was out in advance, for the author, the world was shocked.

The work Lang Lu ranks 400 stones, the seventh official product, and is in charge of the history of the country and the emperor's living notes. And because he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he can often be promoted in dozens of days, and non-top high-ranking children are not allowed to appoint. Xu Rong's demeanor and talent can make the emperor even break the family background and age, which shows how extraordinary it is, although out of political considerations, Xu Rong pushed off the position of the author, but his reputation became more and more resounding.

With the eldest son Zhuyu in front, Xu Ze took care of the second son who was a little too weak and the young son who was reckless and impulsive. Who would have expected that the sky was jealous of the talent, Xu Rong died early, and the position of being too guarded by the party fell to Xu Yun, the second son of Xu Zechang.

Thinking of his father's evaluation of himself, Xu Yun stood up a little irritably and paced repeatedly in the room.

[Temperament is gentle, when the judgment is continuous, there is more than enough, and there is not enough progress. 】

These sixteen words, like a spell, firmly bound Xu Yun, making him extremely unwilling, but he had to admit that this evaluation was really ...... It's too appropriate.

If he was born in a family with the surname Qiao or Wu, he would have no worries with such a temperament, but he was born in the Xu family of Shangdang, and he is still the future head of the family. For those of them who were still humble five generations ago, and because they held the military power in the north, they barely entered the ranks of the last families, and the four words "if you don't advance, you will retreat" are really no longer correct.

If he hadn't been optimistic about this son, Xu Ze would not have taken Xu Heng away and taught Xu Heng personally when Xu Yun's eldest son Xu Heng was two years old.

Xu Yun was in awe of his father, and his talent was indeed far inferior to that of his father and brother, so he didn't dare to say anything, but it was impossible to say that he was not depressed or sad.

Ping's only cared about his own sadness, and he didn't see her husband's irritability at all, and complained in a chattering voice: "Doesn't Grandpa like the vegetarian of his uncle's family the most?" If you really want to raise a granddaughter by your side, why don't you take Susu away? It's Hui'er ......"

"A woman's opinion, a woman's opinion!" Xu Yun shook his head again and again, but he couldn't say anything about his wife, so he had to kneel in front of her, sighing and teaching, "Auntie is such a daughter, how can we make the widowed Auntie sad for our own feelings?" Besides, now, I am the heir of the Xu family, if my father raises my brother's children and ignores our children, what will outsiders guess, what will we think? ”

Seeing that Ping's finally stopped his tears, Xu Yun didn't show it on his face, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

In order to seek harmony in the family, Xu Ze and Huo took a lot of thought in the choice of their three daughters-in-law. The wife of the eldest son, Xu Rong, will be the wife of the Xu family in the future, so naturally everything is good. The second son Xu Yun has a gentle temperament, if he marries a powerful daughter-in-law and holds his son, the house will be restless, but it will not be beautiful. For this reason, Xu Ze and Huo asked to marry the gentle and kind, but not assertive, blindly virtuous and tolerant Ping. As for the third Xu Pan and his wife Lin...... The two of them are a couple, one is impulsive, the other is spicy, but they get along unexpectedly.

Yingchuan Zhong is a real family, poetry heirloom, Mrs. Zhong is beautiful, good bearing, full of poetry and books, acting moderately, soft and strong, born in the north surnamed Haoqiang Ping and Lin in front of this eldest sister-in-law, have always felt that they are shorter. They deliberately imitate Mrs. Zhong in their words and deeds on weekdays, and after the death of their mother-in-law Huo, they are also accustomed to obeying Mrs. Zhong's command. The law of the partial birth of the Great Qi stipulates that non-real sons are not allowed to inherit the family business, and as a result, as soon as Xu Rong died, Mrs. Zhong's position was quite embarrassing.

In order to avoid suspicion, Mrs. Zhong was a widow for her husband wholeheartedly, raised her only daughter Xu Su, and did not interfere in internal affairs. Keping still has some skills in governing the family, talking about talent and knowledge, as well as political vision...... It is not an exaggeration to say that he was dumped by Mrs. Zhong for 108,000 miles.

However, a person with a gentle personality also has the benefit of a mild personality, no matter how much Xu Yun thinks that his wife is inferior to Mrs. Zhong, he will not give her face, so he instructed uneasily: "You must not be resentful because of this matter, and have any neglect of Ah Ji and Su Su." The charcoal and leather used in the West Building, as well as the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, all need to be checked one by one by the confidants. ”

Although Ping is somewhat short-sighted, he is impeccable in terms of "virtuousness". So she put away her sadness and nodded lightly: "The slave has already ordered it, and no one dares to snub Auntie." ”

Speaking of this, Ping remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "I heard that a few days ago, the Yingchuan Zhong family came again?" ”

Hearing his wife ask about this, Rao is temperamental Xu Yun also accumulated a belly of fire: "Yingchuan Zhong's many well-educated people, and he is a famous scholar for generations, who would have expected that in terms of concubines, he is so unsophisticated." Looking at our northern surnames, which family's concubine can enter the genealogy and claim to be the brother of the concubine? The parents of the partial concubine did such a foolish thing, and they had no children to inherit a son-in-law from the clansmen next to them! Why did Baba put the concubine in the name of the mistress? This is good, he is not a real son, he is not recognized by the law, and he is also treated as a concubine when he is determined, but according to the family rules, he is also the brother of Auntie, and he is qualified to interfere in the matter of Auntie's remarriage......"

"It's just a ruffian, if he doesn't take care of Auntie's face and the Yingchuan Zhong family, he won't even want to enter the threshold of our Xu family!" Ping has always been easily provoked by the emotions of others, and when he saw that his husband was so angry, he shared the same hatred with him. But she has been with Xu Yun for several years, and after thinking about it a little, she also came back to her senses, "The surname Zhong comes every year, and I don't see any time when the husband is really angry...... What's going on today? ”

Xu Yun didn't want to talk to his wife about these things between men, but since he knew the news, his heart was depressed, if he didn't tell Ping, who could he talk to? My brother Xu Pan's temper was like charcoal, and he really told him, and the latter must have rushed directly to the east building to question his father, wouldn't it be even worse? Although his wife has no political vision, she can keep her mouth shut, even if her father sees some clues, as long as she doesn't say it, she won't make too much trouble, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Yun moved closer to the Ping clan and lowered his voice very low: "You also know that my father has always felt that my Xu clan has too few people, so he took advantage of the convenience of the fixed product to set Xu Zhongping and Xu Shubi as the sixth grade, and promoted them to officials step by step." This move is for the benefit of the whole family, but the news that has come out in the past few days may want to ...... the two of them Recorded in the family tree. ”

Hearing her husband say this, Ping's face changed.

A few generations ago, the surnames of the Northland were all from the Han clan, with few exceptions. Because of the fear of being looked down upon by others, the surname Bei is much stricter than the surname Wu and the surname Qiao. If the Wu family surnamed Qiao has no son-in-law, the concubine may be able to come out, but it is absolutely impossible in the north.

In the north, the main wife is the absolute authority, and it is normal for everyone to kill and call concubines at will, and it does not affect the reputation of virtuous people at all. After all, in their eyes, a concubine is just an ornament, a plaything, can you say that she is not good because the master broke a vase that belongs to her?

Xu Ze not only gave the concubines enough education, but also carefully checked their marriages, and distributed them some land, assets and slaves, so that they could have no worries about food and clothing. As for the Haoqiang family from the Ping family and the Lin family, the concubine is not allowed to study, and can only lead the horse and fan for the concubine, which is no different from a slave, and the concubine is just a tool to marry out as a concubine or to collect money. Not to mention others, just talk about Xu Yun's two concubines, now they don't even have a name, they are only called by the eldest mother and the second mother, not to mention Xu Yun, even the Ping family can't remember what these two concubines look like.

Xu Ze's two concubines are better than Xu Yun in temperament and talent, but in the end, they are concubines, and they can be officials rather than officials, which is already the result of the Xu family's single-handedly covering the sky in the party. If the two of them enter the family tree, the official road will be more prosperous, and the children will enjoy more benefits. Although these interests do not infringe on the power of the son-in-law, they also make Xu Yun and the peace clan more vigilant.

The awe of Xu Ze has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the Xu family, not to mention, the Ping family has no way to do this kind of thing between men, and after panicking, she can only ask uneasily: "That...... Master, we should ......."

"At present, my father is just thinking about this, and he has not made a clear statement." Xu Yun shook his head lightly and sighed, "Now we are the best if we don't do anything." ”

PS: Wei and Jin knowledge science popularization - father and grandfather are father and father-in-law, mother and aunt are called mother and mother-in-law, son-in-law and uncle Ji are talking about uncle and brother-in-law, Di Ji popularized science yesterday, Ji is sister-in-law Di is brother and sister.

In addition, the inheritance right of Daqi imitates that of the Western Han Dynasty, and non-real sons are not allowed to inherit, that is, in addition to the son-in-law of the head of the family, concubines, successive sons and grandchildren, there is no way to inherit the land and title. I privately think that the establishment of such a strict inheritance right is really the welfare of the wife and sister-in-law, and there is no need to worry about any concubine and concubine, and even the genealogy cannot be entered, and it is even more difficult to jump.
