Since ancient times, if a woman stays at home to recruit money, if her son-in-law is incompetent, then it will be difficult for a family to rely on this woman.

If the son-in-law is capable, there is a chance that the family will be replaced in the end.

Therefore, ordinary people would rather choose the sons and nephews of the same clan to succeed, rather than recruit for their daughters.

If it really comes to the point where there is no choice, then the son-in-law who chooses is willing to be incompetent, and must not be a shrewd and capable person.

These Xue Ling know that she never denies that women are always weaker than men, and if she has a brother she can trust, she is willing to choose to support her.

However, because she didn't have a choice, it stimulated her deep disposition to admit defeat, she shook her head gently, "Grandmother, I don't choose either, I choose the third way." ”

Old Madam Xue's face changed, and she naturally heard Xue Ling's meaning, "No,"

Such a panicked appearance made Xue Ling startled.

"Ah Ling, this time is different from the past, the document issued by the prince is extremely unfavorable to the Xue family,"

Old Madam Xue slowed down a little before she calmed down a little, but her expression was still heavy, "The meaning that your uncle and grandfather just revealed also has a bit of the meaning of letting you inherit the family." ”

This sentence surprised Xue Ling, Xue Chengjing has an old-fashioned temperament, patriarchal and female, even in his previous life, he never took the initiative to reveal the intention of letting her take over the Xue family, but he didn't have to choose it later.

Her original plan was to wait for the third uncle to take the initiative to resign, and now this trend is obviously unexpected.

However, one thing she can be sure of is that the current head of the Xue family, unlike the previous life, should be like a hot potato, if not, who would want her.

Old Madam Xue continued, "Ah Ling, I specially called you over, just to tell you again and again, you must shirk no matter what, and grandmother will help you." ”

Xue Ling's heart was touched, at least, there was still a grandmother standing next to her, she said, "Grandmother,"

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice from outside, it turned out to be Qiu Shi walking in and urging, "Mother-in-law, the hour is almost up, Ye and Ah Hao have passed, I just saw that my sister-in-law has also passed, and my mother-in-law and Ah Ling have also gone earlier." ”

Old Madam Xue sighed slightly, estimating that the hour was almost up, but when she thought about her thoughts, she couldn't take a step.

Qiu Shi observed the words and said, "Uncle is the first seven today, the position of this heir must be decided, I heard my master say that the whole Jiangling is paying attention to this matter." ”

Old Lady Xue got up, "Yes, this matter is very important, and the elders of the clan are also urging this matter, no matter what, we must have a resolution." ”

She looked at Xue Ling and reached out to hold Xue Ling's hand, "Let's go, prepare to open the ancestral hall and discuss this matter." ”

After Qiu Shi said that to Xue Ling that day, now he is like no one, "Ah Ling, don't worry. ”

Xue Ling nodded.

Her little hand was tightly held in the palm of Mrs. Xue's hand, Xue Ling could feel the cold temperature of Mrs. Xue's hand, and she held her grandmother's hand with her backhand, "Grandmother's words, I wrote it down." ”

When Mrs. Xue heard this, her expression did not ease by half a point, but the strength in her hand was a little heavier, as if she couldn't protect Xue Ling as soon as she let go.

When you step into the ancestral hall.

Xue Ling glanced around, the people in the room had almost arrived, and this time there were more mothers and two cousins than before.

In addition, the full house of uncles and uncles is the same as before.

Among the juniors, Xue Yuan and Xue Hao appeared in the ancestral hall for the first time, and both of them were one of the candidates for the heir, so they naturally wanted to participate.

Xue Ling, as a girl, was not qualified, but she held the future lifeblood of the Xue family in her hands, and it became a matter of course for her to participate.

This is also the second time Xue Ling has appeared in the ancestral hall.

Of course, Xue Ling had participated in many deliberations in the previous life, but he did not participate in this time.

Her position at the moment was arranged next to Old Lady Xue and Jiang Yue.

And Xue Yuan and Xue Hao were both sitting behind their respective fathers.

After everyone in the room sat down, they looked at each other.

In the end, Xue Ling's uncle and grandfather Xue Chengjing glanced around, and spoke first, "Jiyuan has no heirs, and he didn't decide on an heir before leaving, and now it is related to the Xue family's hundred-year plan, there must always be a resolution, and you each have your own opinions." ”

Everyone was hesitant to speak.

Xue Jihong spoke first, "Naturally, it is to choose an heir among Ayuan and Ahao to inherit, is there any other way?" ”

He only felt that everything was not going well in the past few days, and at this time, listening to Xue Chengjing say this, he always had a bad premonition, and he couldn't help but say it first.

Xue Jiman didn't speak, after Qiu Shi chatted with Xue Ling once, he went back to talk to him, so this time, he planned to wait and see what happened.

The ancestral hall was already dark, and after such silence, it was extremely depressing.

All of them are weighing and don't dare to speak out easily.

Xue Jihong looked at Xue Jiman, his eyes were a little puzzled, why Xue Jiman didn't say a word, he was anxious in his heart, but he was a little confused.

After a moment of silence, Xue Jihong couldn't hold it back, and said again, "Our A-Yuan is the eldest grandson, and he is very stable in life, and over time, he will be able to take on heavy responsibilities, and A-Hao under the knee of the third brother is not bad, it is not a matter for us to sit like this, we always have to choose one to take on a big responsibility." ”

Xue Chengjing stopped Xue Jihong's words and said, "Jiyuan passed away, the Jiangling witch doctor family is about to move, and gradually has a tendency to be unable to suppress, today the king of Jiangling met with the three of us brothers, revealing one thing, this year's choice of the witch master is different from the past. ”

This sentence was like an explosion of the pot, and everyone began to talk to each other.

Only the three older elders were silent.

Xue Chengjing is the younger brother of Xue Ling's grandfather, ranking second in that generation, and there are still three elders of the ancestors who are still alive.

The fourth ranked is called Xue Chengli, and the fifth is called Xue Chengxiao.

Xue Chengli is also a concubine.

And Xue Chengxiao is a descendant, and Xue Ling's grandfather is a compatriot, so he is closer to him in terms of blood.

Xue Ling glanced at it, the three elders still had heavy expressions, and even the fifth uncle and grandfather, Xue Chengxiao, who had always been easy-going, couldn't see the smile on his face.

Xue Ling sat upright without any mood swings.

The Witch Doctor's Choice is held once a year, while the Witch Master's Choice is held every five years.

The witch doctor exam focuses on the talent of practicing medicine, and most of the children of the witch doctor family, as long as they are not too low-qualified, can almost all be selected.

And the choice of the witch lord is more about the support of the family and the family.

This has always been the case in previous years.
