Speaking of Xue Boqing, it is definitely a material that can read, at least in the eyes of the Xue family.

Especially in the eyes of his grandmother Tang, his mother Shen and his aunt Liang, this precious eldest grandson of the Xue family seems to be the future Xiucai master who has not run away, and they are the elders of Xiucai master, just waiting to enjoy his blessings, and they usually regard themselves as Xiucai elders.

Anyway, even if grandma and mother are forgotten, why can even an aunt be so precious?

Because she doesn't have a son!

If you don't have a son, you're doomed.

If you don't want to die and don't have a son, you either recruit a nephew, or you recognize your nephew as an heir.

So which one to choose?

If you choose to recruit a lot, your reputation is not good.

Another one, Boqing of the big house will be a talented master in the future, and the court stipulates that if the two brothers have only one heir who can inherit the incense, the childless house can recognize the nephew as the heir as long as it is agreed by the other room, and when he has an heir in the future, he will inherit an heir to continue the incense for his family.

For the second room, as long as the nephew is recognized as the heir, the nephew is also regarded as the heir of his second room, and when the nephew is admitted to Xiucai, they are the heirs of the master of Xiucai, and their grandson will be Xiucai's son in the future, how decent this face is.

can be a talented father and have a son, how can he recruit an outsider to inherit the heir in the future. Although they are the heirs of a room, they are also the blood of their old Xue family.

Although the reputation of the heir is not very good, it is still better than recruiting.

And what about the big house? They can't wait for their son to be recognized as an heir, not to mention that everything in the next two rooms will be inherited by their son, as long as the son inherits the two rooms, then there is no need for the big house, and the second room will also move forward, and they can't wait to invest all their resources in their son. As for the issue of heirs, they are not afraid that their big house will be diluted, anyway, each house will marry a wife for him and give him a son, and they can also justifiably marry two wives to hug each other, which is simply a good and harmless thing.

Originally, everyone's calculations were perfect, and they were waiting for Xue Boqing, who was given high hopes by them, to be admitted to Xiucai.

But I don't know what's going on, this kid is just unlucky, they should have dotted the money, but every time they are one or two, two or three and fall off the list, since the age of sixteen I took the exam for eight or nine years, I didn't get in, you say it's not angry.

In order to let him concentrate on studying, and also to save money, he didn't think about family affairs, after all, reading is the most expensive thing, whether it is the cost of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, or the bundle of the academy, as well as the accommodation and food in the county, as well as the dots of all parties during the exam, it all costs money.

This also led to the fact that he is already twenty-four years old and has not yet married a wife, ordinary people, men of this age, not to mention that their sons can make soy sauce, some of them can work in the fields.

Over the years of Xue Boqing's study and scientific research, almost all the money accumulated by the previous generations of the Xue family has almost been exhausted, and even the land property is now sold only two acres of thin fields and the house where he lives now.

Although the scientific expedition is a major event, marrying a wife and having children to start a family is the foundation of a family's inheritance, although they attach importance to his scientific expedition, but as he grows older, based on the concern about the heirs, the Xue family has to give priority to giving him a kiss.

Especially if you can't take the exam again this year, you have to take the exam for another year, and the remaining money in the family will not be enough to marry a daughter-in-law, especially if you want to marry a wife who is worthy of his status as a scholar.

So no matter what, we must say kiss this year, and it is best for the Bodhisattva to bless them in this year's examination, so that their Xue family will be happy.

Otherwise, we will have to find a way next year for the scientific expedition, but we must not delay the marriage.

However, they are doomed to disappointment.

Why is it so bad every time? Because the examiners have a good idea of Xue Boqing's talents, although they have received the money, they also have a score in their hearts, which cannot be exaggerated.

If a few children are about the same in learning, then for those who have received the money, polish you, do some small actions or something, then the position of Xiucai is you, but if you really can't do it, then there is no way.

But since you have received the money, it can't be collected in vain, although you can't pass the exam, it's still okay to mention the ranking for you, after all, it's a person who is famous in Sun Mountain, who will have the spare time to see how your article is.

Xue Boqing belongs to this category.

As for how Xue Boqing learned, how could the Xue family, who didn't know a single word, know, it wasn't what he said, so everyone thought it was just his bad luck.

In terms of family affairs, after more than half a year of running, the Xue family set two marriages for Xue Boqing, saying that the big house was Jiang Qianyue, the daughter of the Jiang family who was separated from Zhaojia Village by a few villages.

And said to the second room is the third daughter of the Liu family in Kangtian Village next door, Liu Huining, this year's nineteenth, she is a complete peasant girl, her family background is not good, plus there are many children in the family, although the foundation is good, but because of the lack of food, she also looks yellow and thin, and only gave a dowry of five taels of silver.

For this daughter-in-law, the second room is not satisfied, but the family's savings have almost been spent over the years, and there is no money left to talk about two satisfactory family affairs, so even if the second room is dissatisfied, it can only be accepted.

It is said that in view of the serious atmosphere of drowning women in the previous dynasty, this dynasty strictly prohibits folk drowning women.

If you can't drown, you can only keep it, but it's hard to say how to raise it.

Especially in recent decades, because of the serious forced labor and taxation, the life of the people has become worse and worse, especially the people at the bottom, who have a difficult life, how can they have so much money to raise so many children, especially the daughter who has to marry into her mother-in-law's family after all, it is simply a waste of money, so they simply raise it cheaply.

Even if you have money, if you spend too much on your daughter, the distribution to your son will be thin, and you will choose to raise it cheaply.

Therefore, in this dynasty, although the problem of drowning women has been greatly improved, and ordinary people are willing to give birth to daughters, another trend has been formed, that is, daughters are raised cheaply, and they can feed them to grow up, without spending too much rations, and they have helped the family to do farm work and housework since childhood, and they can also recover a bride price for their sons as a dowry, so the adopted daughter is not a loss.

Because of this atmosphere, the daughters of ordinary people's families are generally rough, and those who stutter will not starve to death, and the daughters of nine out of ten families are all yellow-skinned and thin.

As for the Xue family, it is even worse, without him, although the family has money, but what needs to be left for the eldest grandson to study, it is also a waste of money to spend on these girls.

Especially there are many girls in the family, nine granddaughters, Baba's nine mouths, even if one eats less, nine add up to a lot.

As the granddaughters grow up, their bodies have grown up, and they have all reached the top, so the amount of food will naturally go up.

Other families are okay, the daughter can marry early and exchange some bride price, but his Xue family can't, the grandson is a scholar, and he will be a showy master in the future, and the scholar is the most interested in the rules and regulations of the sect, Xue Boqing, the eldest grandson, has not married, so the younger sisters behind him cannot cross this brother to marry first, and the eldest and youngest must be orderly, otherwise it is inconsistent with the etiquette and will affect his reputation.

Therefore, even if they want to marry several granddaughters in exchange for a bride price, they can't give their grandchildren a scientific examination, not to mention whether the bride price of these granddaughters who were raised by them is enough for their granddaughters to take another year's scientific examination, even if it is enough, this bad reputation, the impression of this child in the eyes of the examiners will be greatly reduced, and if the impression is bad, you can still be given priority?

In this way, it is conceivable how the life of the granddaughter of the Xue family will live.

Especially at the top of the rankings, they are looking forward to the eldest brother being admitted to Xiucai every day, so that they can marry earlier, just like Xue Linjing, the eldest girl in the second room, is already twenty-three and three, and she is the only one in the village who has not yet married at this age, can she not be afraid that she will not be able to marry an old girl when she is older.

But my brother has not been able to pass the exam, and it is useless for them to be in a hurry.

If there is no accident, the life of the Xue family is estimated to continue to live so peacefully, and the elders are looking forward to the baby grandson and son being admitted to the examination as soon as possible, marrying a wife and having children happily, improving the status of their Xue family, and allowing them to enjoy a good life.

The granddaughters have also been looking forward to the eldest brother being able to marry a wife and have children, so that their younger sisters can marry and live a normal life.
