Due to the increasingly difficult life of military families in recent years, everyone is reluctant to have more children. As a result, there are fewer and fewer men in the guards, and some military families only have one or two boys. If there is more, the family will not be able to support them, and their future will become a big problem. The children of military families, except for one who can inherit the virtues of their father and brother as soldiers, the other children need to find their own way. If you can't get the qualification to be a soldier, you can't stay in the guard, and after you get married, you have to join the civilian registration and become an ordinary person. It is difficult for an ordinary person who does not have his own land and his own specialties to survive. The surplus children of these military families have either been reduced to the slaves of large families, or they are the main source of sons-in-law.

In recent years, a large number of soldiers have died in the southeast coastal area because of the plague of the Japanese invaders. After the war passed, the follow-up problem arose, and after the death of the father and brother, the son or brother became a soldier. But what about families without a brother or son? What if there are no adult males in the family? Their families are faced with a choice: whether to keep their military household registration or to be driven away and become civilians with nothing. Anyone will choose the former way, which requires an adult man in the family to come out and serve in the army. Some of the more flexible-minded people thought of their brothers' children. They take over an adult child from a brother or cousin who has already separated from their own family, and not only solve the family's problems, but also leave a descendant for their own family. Some military families who do not have adult male relatives at home have set their sights on their sons-in-law. On the surface, he was looking for a husband for his adult daughter, but in fact, he used this man to supplement the army. not only solved the plight of his own family, but also his own son did not have to be sent to death. This kind of son-in-law of a military family is even more painful, not only has no status in the family, but is also looked down upon by his colleagues. They are willing to come to the military household as a son-in-law, which shows that they either can't live anymore or their living conditions are not as good as the military household. Once they become military households, they are reluctant and have no chance to leave.

The imperial court also has certain rules on the restoration of the household registration of the son-in-law, but this has become a relatively large loophole. Because once the son-in-law becomes the son-in-law of the woman's family, his original household registration will be invalid, and his household registration will fall into the woman's family. In fact, the son-in-law's household registration is attached to the woman's family, and his social status is the same as that of the slaves in the woman's family. Once expelled by the woman, his household registration will be returned by the woman. If the son-in-law's original family is willing to accept it, the son-in-law's household registration will return to the original place. However, the son-in-law's family is relatively poor, and even some families have split up and are unwilling to accept this son-in-law who has gone home. In this case, it is necessary to reapply for a new household registration, which belongs to the lowest level of civilians. The imperial court stipulated that such people were not allowed to work in the upper class, and could only be a member of the lower ninth class.

However, there is a kind of son-in-law who can live a normal life after leaving the woman's family, can still marry a wife and have children, can still gain fame and even become an official in the future. However, this is not only rare, but also subject to many constraints. First, this son-in-law needs to be absolutely innocent in his family background, whether it is the previous husband's family or the later woman's family, he needs to be absolutely clear and clear. Second, the son-in-law must be driven away by the woman's family without fault. Whether it is the father-in-law or the wife, if he finds a reason to drive away the son-in-law, the son-in-law will never have a chance to turn over. Being driven out without fault generally means that the son-in-law has a male son in the woman's family after the son-in-law comes to the door. It just so happened that the son-in-law's wife was sick and died, and the woman's parents thought that there was no reason to keep the son-in-law, so the son-in-law was returned. This kind of son-in-law can enjoy relatively fair treatment because he is not at fault. Third, this son-in-law did not leave a son and a half daughter in the woman's family. Once the son-in-law has his own blood and bones, the child will have a relationship with the son-in-law. For the sake of this child's future future, he had to sacrifice the future of this son-in-law. Therefore, after the son-in-law has his own children, even if he is kicked out of the woman's house, he will not have his own future. Fourth, this son-in-law needs to have his own knowledge, be able to pass the government's merit examination within one year of leaving the woman's family, and become a scholar with merit and fame. Fifth, the family of this son-in-law and woman is not only an official family, but also a family with a criminal record. Once the woman's family is the descendant of the eunuch, the son-in-law will not be able to gain fame after leaving the family, which is to maintain the face of the eunuch's family. If the son-in-law of a person's family has a criminal record, he cannot get away with it just because he has left the woman's family. Therefore, this son-in-law who can be famous is not only not many, but it can be said to be very rare.

Duan Xingao arranged such a birth opportunity for Xiao Lingzi. Lucian is dead, but very few people know about it. Lucian was born into a good man, but he was orphaned by a plague in his family. Lucian's family's land was unable to grow food because of the plague, so Lucian lost all his support. A landlord surnamed Huang took away a dozen orphans, including Lucian, without spending a penny. A few years later, the landlord sold Lucian to a merchant as their son-in-law, and the money in exchange became the landlord's expenses to raise Lucian. After Lucian entered the woman's house, he did everything hard-working and was deeply liked by the woman's family, but it was a pity that Lucian's wife was only thirteen years old and could not get married immediately.

Lucian finally got his wife growing up, but he didn't expect a disaster to come. A good ** came to Lucian's house with a little boy in his arms, and insisted that this child was the seed of Lucian's father-in-law. After Lucian's father-in-law asked someone to drop blood for a family test, it was confirmed that the child was his own blood. Lucian's mother-in-law was angry and quarreled with her husband, and Lucian's wife went up to persuade her to fight, but Lucian's father-in-law accidentally injured his daughter, who was about to get married. As a result, Lucian's wife died, ** and the child entered the door, but Lucian was kicked out of the house for no reason.

Lucian went out without fault, plus this family is not from an official eunuch, has Lucian and his wife officially married, of course, they have no children of their own, so Lucian asked for the restoration of the household registration of good people, not the household registration of untouchables who were generally kicked out of the house. Don't underestimate the difference between a word, just because the treatment of this word in the future will be very different. Lucian knew a few words, so he had this plan, to seek an opportunity for himself.

Unexpectedly, this Lucian had no luck, and he fell ill as soon as he reported his household registration information. Duan Xingao found that this Lucian's condition was very suitable for Xiao Lingzi, so he concealed the information of Lucian's death and let Xiao Lingzi come out as Lucian. With Xiao Lingzi's ability, he was able to quickly pass the children's test and the middle school test, and became a quasi-reader. In this way, Xiao Lingzi's identity is not only there, but also has a formal opportunity to gain fame, and he can officially participate in the imperial examination in the name of Lucian. Not only can you get fame, but you can also use Lucian's name to become an official in the future. Although Qin Tai hadn't inquired carefully, he could guess some clues from Xiao Lingzi's letters in the past.

Ge Hao, like Xiao Lingzi, is also a person who has no suitable background. He wanted to be Jia Baishun's master and needed to be famous, so he had to use Xiao Lingzi's fake identity. Besides, Jia Baishun wanted to use the relationship between Xiao Lingzi and Qin Tai, so Ge Hao wanted to use Xiao Lingzi's identity to get close to Jia Baishun. It seems that this Gelhao must have a close relationship with Xiao Lingzi's disappearance, but I don't know if Xiao Lingzi is dead or alive now. Qin Tai was very eager in his heart that Xiao Lingzi did not die, even if he suffered a little, it didn't matter. But Qin Tai knew very well in his heart that Ge Hao would not easily let go of Xiao Lingzi, who was easy to expose his identity. Even if Xiao Lingzi was not killed by Ge Hao, Ge Hao was sure that Xiao Lingzi would not be able to threaten him. If Geer had other helpers, Xiao Lingzi might have a chance to live. If Geer does it alone, the possibility of Xiao Lingzi's survival is really too slim. But Qin Tai didn't want to believe it, and he wouldn't say it easily, and he didn't want Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qiu Xiaoqiu to worry about Xiao Lingzi.
