Chapter 195: From Family Rules to Law
Shu Yunniang will refuse, this is something that everyone understands, no matter what aspect it is, she really doesn't have the energy to take care of this child. But what the old lady thought was that this was the eldest grandson, and she should let her wife take care of it.
Shu Yunniang's refusal made the old lady a little unhappy. The old lady said:
"He's also seven years old, but he just wants you to keep it in his name."
Shang Ruonan raised his eyes to look at his grandmother, raised in his name? How did the old lady come up with this? Last night, Shang Ruonan and Chun Tao had a good talk, and learned about what happened to the children born in this era, if this is raised in the name of the main mother, it will be treated as the main house, and it will be related to the inheritance of the family property in the future.
How much does the old lady love this grandson, so she will have a son's Shu Yunniang to raise her?
When the old lady said this, even Shang Dongliang was a little surprised, looked at his mother, and didn't know what his mother was going to do.
Shang Dongliang was silent, this was the biggest harm to Shu Yunniang, Shu Yunniang thought that Shang Dongliang also agreed. That's why I pushed myself like this with my mother.
Shu Yunniang's face was pale, and she stood there so angry that everyone shook for a moment. It's also the merchant sisters who are also very angry, the small ones may not understand, but the big ones understand. If this Shang Lin determines the throne, then many things in this family will change.
Although she was trembling with anger, Mrs. Shang did not nod in agreement, but still stood there straight. Seeing his mother like this, Shang Ruonan stood up again, and said with a gloomy face:
"Grandmother, have you thought about it? Let a wild child be a businessman's son-in-law? What is Xiao Jiu? ”
"Presumptuous! What a wild child! That's your brother! ”
The old lady glared at Shang Ruonan. Shang Ruonan raised his head and said stiffly:
"My brother only has Xiao Jiu!"
"You ......"
Mrs. Shang raised her hand and pointed at Shang Ruonan, Shang Ruonan still glared back fearlessly, and Shang Dongliang stood up and said:
"Mother, there's something wrong with this."
Old Madam Shang looked at her son and said in a deep voice:
"What's wrong? You're also in your thirties. If you don't cultivate a person, do you have to wait until your beard turns gray before you don't go around? I'm also thinking about you, let Xiaosi be the young head of the family for the time being, just thinking that she will take care of the affairs of the city for you, and you have to let the man do it when you go out of the city. ”
Shang Dongliang looked at Shu Yunniang, and then replied:
"Yun Niang wants to bring two small ones, and she really doesn't have the energy to take care of them. That's not right. ”
Shang Dongliang directly refused this time, and Mrs. Shang seemed to look at Shu Yunniang's appearance, and then said:
"I know that she lost her body by giving birth to two children, and she will have to raise children and take care of her own body in the future, and she can't take care of you. In this way, let the He family stay, be an aunt, and then let her take care of Shang Lin. ”
"Thank you, old lady, thank you, old lady!"
As soon as the old lady's voice fell, He Ye over there kowtowed and thanked him repeatedly. This is the old lady giving her a seat!
Shang Dongliang didn't speak now, for him, it was just one more woman, and she was also Shang Lin's biological mother, so it was reassuring to take care of everyone like this. Yun Niang doesn't have to be so tired!
But the little sisters of the merchant were not happy. Shang Nianlan, who was holding Shu Yunniang, felt her mother's whole body tremble after hearing the news!
Only then did Shang Ruonan understand that his grandmother turned a corner to find a concubine for his father. Because her mother is not in good health, her father has been living alone since she was pregnant with Xiao Baxiaojiu, and this old lady is afraid that her father will be lonely!
But where does this leave the mother?
Shang Ruonan immediately stood up and said bluntly:
"Grandmother, that's not right. First, not to mention that you didn't let people investigate, and you don't know if this Shang Lin is really the merchant's child, you have arranged everything, which is not appropriate. ”
Shang Ruonan saw that the old lady was about to refute, and immediately said:
"Your old man will listen to me first."
"Second, even if Shang Lin is his father's amorous species, but he is also the son of the outer room, and he earns the main house, do you want the ancestor of the merchant to slap you in the face? It used to be said that the merchant didn't have a son, but now there is Xiao Jiu! Besides, I don't have a son, but I have a business sister! She has ten sons! ”
"Third, take a step back, even if Shang Lin is the son of a merchant, he is seven years old, and he is not a person like Xiao Jiu who still needs to be hugged by a nurse. At the age of seven, they should eat at separate tables and live in separate houses. He is a man, he should live in an outer courtyard, where does he need a woman to take care of him? If it is the father's will, then let the father take care of it, how can I let my mother take care of it? ”
"Fourth, according to the law of the Daxing Dynasty, the outer room is not allowed to be carried into the palace as a concubine, you have to accept this He family, this is to go against the law of Daxing?"
Shang Ruonan: This is step by step. First of all, he only gave Shang Lin the reputation of the son of the outer chamber, which is to put it nicely, and if it is not good, it is an illegitimate child.
This is an illegitimate child, and his mother is just an outer room, so he can only live outside the business.
Listening to Shang Ruonan's words, he also said everything from family rules to laws. The old lady was speechless. If you oppose this, then it's not quite right, a seven or eight-year-old child understands the rules, and a ten-year-old lady herself, can you still understand?
If you don't understand this, you can't pretend you don't understand, right?
He Ye, who was leaning over the ground, listened to Shang Ruonan's words, and suddenly collapsed to the ground. This is for her not to enter the house, not to mention, and not to see her son again. The son can't integrate with the people of the merchant yet, and can only live in the outer courtyard? That's not what I'm here for!
Shang Ruonan's words gave the merchant sisters some confidence, and also gave Mrs. Shang a reason to refuse Mrs. Shang's unreasonable demands.
Shang Dongliang looked at this daughter with a somewhat complicated expression, but he didn't expect that at such a young age, he could think about things far, and people couldn't refuse.
Shang Xianglan too, always thought that he read a lot, but he didn't expect that he was reading useless books, my sister let me borrow the law book a few days ago, I didn't have it, I also borrowed it from Miss Hu, at that time, I also laughed at my sister for not learning good poetry, to learn the law, it turns out, learning the law can protect your family!
After Shang Ruonan finished speaking, he looked at the people in the family, and it seemed that no one refuted, mainly because they were embarrassed to refute, so Shang Ruonan made a decision, let Chun Tao go to Uncle Gen, and let Uncle Gen clean up the Luoyang Courtyard. Just for Shang Lin to live.
looked at the way my father wanted to speak and stopped. Shang Ruonan also said:
"If my father wants to teach Shang Lin in person, he can also live in Luoyang Courtyard, that courtyard is not bad, I can live in it."
Luoyang Courtyard is the closest courtyard to the merchant gate. To put it nicely, it was originally a guest house, but to put it mildly, it was the gatekeeper's courtyard.
