The ancients could only rely on their sons to inherit incense.

What if I don't have a son?

Most of them will inherit an heir from the same clan to inherit the family business, Meng Huaijin told Cheng Qing the old history of the royal family of this dynasty is like this, the fourth Emperor Xianzong of the Great Wei Dynasty is the heir of the third Emperor Daizong, because Daizong has no children, he can only pass the son of the prince as the prince.

This practice of succession is very common in the royal family, let alone the people!

And from the perspective of etiquette, Emperor Xianzong is the son of Daizong, and he has nothing to do with the original biological father and mother.

Great Wei has a law, the heir cannot be an only child, and if the only child is passed out, the biological parents will have nothing to support, which is absolutely not allowed.

Xuandu Ji family, Ji Laoshangshu has a younger brother, who is Ji Hao's own grandfather, and the two brothers are brothers-in-law, just like Cheng's big house and second room, but they are divided into two rooms to live, and everyone is still blood relatives.

Ji Lao Shangshu has not seen the third generation of grandchildren born in ancient times, his old people are seventy years old, the eldest son is more than fifty, the youngest is also more than forty, the grandchildren are all little ladies, and there is no one with a handle, which has become Ji Lao Shangshu's biggest obsession - the family business is earned, who will it be passed on to in the end?

The granddaughters will have a dowry when they get married, but they can't accompany the entire Ji family's big house!

Ji Laoshangshu wants to have a 'grandson'.

There are still some members of the Ji family, and they can't wait to send their children to be the grandson of Ji Lao Shangshu and inherit the Ji family's big house in the future.

But Ji Lao Shangshu disagrees!

First, the relationship between Dafang and those people in the side branch is far away, and second, Ji Laoshangshu has carefully inspected the younger generation of the side branch, and none of them can look at it.

Occasionally, there are one or two well-qualified, but they drag bloodsuckers-like Laipi relatives, Ji Laoshangshu is not afraid of raising more family for his heirs, he is afraid of having such a-stirring stick close relatives, and when his grandson grows up, he throws away the incense of the Ji family's big house, and just wants to be warm with his biological parents, and after a long time, everything in the Ji family's room becomes someone else's.

Pick and choose, not as good as Ji Hao.

Ji Hao is his nephew, and he is closest to Ji Lao Shangshu.

Ji Hao can also study, and he was selected for Xiucai when he was a teenager, and his family wanted to make his hometown exam more stable, so he pressed him to wait until next year.

And although the second room of the Ji family is not as prominent as the big house, it also has a rich family business, Ji Hao's father was also born in Jinshi and is now an official in the capital, Ji Hao, the only grandson of the second room, has not suffered since he was a child, and has developed a mellow and gentle temperament, not a white-eyed wolf who is greedy for money more than family affection.

Such a good boy Ji Laoshang didn't choose, but chose those who didn't know the roots, Ji Laoshangshu was just old and confused.

But Ji Hao is the only grandson of the second room, not to mention that there is a law in the court that restricts the only son from succeeding, even if he doesn't, Ji Laoshangshu can't snatch the incense of his younger brother Ji Er.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below.

This situation like the Ji family is not unique, the predecessors have long prepared a way to deal with it, Ji Hao can not succeed from the second room, he is still the grandson of the second room, and at the same time the heir of the big house, one person inherits the incense of the two families at the same time, this is called 'Jian Yao'.

After the two funerals of Cheng Zhiyuan and Cheng Rong, Cheng Qing could feel the importance that the ancients attached to these traditions...... It's herself, obviously a daughter, but she was pretended to be a son by Cheng Zhiyuan and the Liu family to grow up, and her family attaches great importance to incense, so why should she scold others for feudalism.

So whether Ji Hao wants to have two rooms at the same time, that is the Ji family's own business, and Cheng Qing can't care about it.

Ji Hao swore in front of her, she didn't accept concubines and didn't find a room, she was full of sincerity, Cheng Qing was still happy for her eldest sister, the stupid roe deer she sent to the door was not easy to find, the eldest sister fell in love, and her vision was not bad.

But if Ji Hao wanted to marry two rooms in the future, he could have married two wives, and the marriage was justified, and even the imperial court recognized it - one is the Ji family's big house for him, and the child born will inherit the big house in the future, and the other wife will be married by the second room of the Ji family, and the child born will inherit the second room, if both wives can give birth to sons, the incense of the two rooms of the Ji family will be inherited, which is the meaning of the existence of 'Jian You'.

is a good Ji Hao, he doesn't accept concubines and doesn't find a room, what he says is sincere, but he is selectively informed.

Si Mo didn't have Si Yan's lips sharp, and when he saw Cheng Qing's expression changing back and forth, he scratched his head:

"Young master, this is all a small inquiry, maybe it's not allowed."

Cheng Qing snorted, "There is no wind and no waves, you can casually inquire about these when you go to Xuandu Mansion, it can be seen that the Ji family does have this plan." It's not going to happen now, maybe the big house and the second room haven't negotiated the conditions, or maybe it's something else...... In short, what you can inquire about is not a secret, could it be that Ji Hao, the person concerned, would not know? ”

Si Mo smiled embarrassedly.

Since the eldest lady is in charge of the grange, Simo has dealt with the eldest lady a lot.

But the eldest lady and Ji Hao met, it happened that Cheng Qing wanted to extract rose dew, Si Yan went to find a craftsman to build a still, and went to other places to buy spices so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, Si Mo stayed in the countryside from the beginning to engage in rose trial planting for Cheng Qing, and he couldn't leave at the critical time of extracting the dew, so Si Mo didn't know before, Cheng Qing deducted the monthly money, and Si Mo was not among them.

Does the eldest lady know that Ji Gongzi wants to have two rooms?

If Ji Gongzi deliberately deceives, it is Ji Gongzi's bad.

If Ji Gongzi didn't deceive the eldest lady, the eldest lady knew that Ji Gongzi wanted to have two rooms, and she would ...... Ji Gongzi

Alas, no matter what the case may be, it's no wonder that the young master is angry.

Ji Gongzi lied to people, and the young master was angry with Ji Gongzi.

If Ji Gongzi didn't deceive people, the young master would probably be angry with the eldest lady!

Si Modu was about to scratch his hair bald, Cheng Qing sent him back, "Don't tell the eldest sister about this matter first, don't let the eldest sister meet with the surname Ji again for the time being, and if there is something in the grange, I will order the Zhuang family to go to Yangliu Lane." ”

"Young master, the little one knows!"

Si Mo took the order and left, Cheng Qing's eyes swept away, and Cui Yan couldn't help but tremble.

This glance is not beautiful, it is a cold knife.

Hey, this cold knife should be thrown at Ji Hao, why did he shoot at him, an innocent person?

Could it be that he refused to give up his right to be a brother-in-law after marriage to Cheng Qing, so Cheng Qing complained about him? Cui Yan straightened his chest, he is indeed a rare good son in the world, Cheng Qing should want to marry his sister to him.

But he can't marry Sister Cheng Qing.

Although Cheng Qing's three sisters are all beautiful and lovely, they just can't marry.

Cui Yan felt that the reason was that after becoming the son-in-law of the Cheng family, he had to give up the idea of being romantic, and there was a faint voice in his heart to refute: It's not like this, it's because ......

Because of what, he didn't dare to think about it, and subconsciously changed the topic: "I'll just say that the price of a bottle of fragrance is 20 taels, it's right, the first batch you gave is only a few dozen bottles, I asked people to send it to Yangzhou, the supply exceeds demand, when will the second bottle of fragrance be handed over to me?" ”
