Zhou Weiji listened to Yu'er's matter, and he was helpless.

"Li Er's lame man lost money a few days ago, and was arrested for stealing things in the bazaar, and was given 20 canes to the yamen, and was imprisoned for three days. I thought that after this, he should lie at home for a month and it would be difficult to come out and cause trouble, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen. ”

Lan Yi helped Zhou Weiji put up the window flowers, turned his head and asked, "Brother Tuesday, if Yu'er breaks away from the Li family, will it be difficult?" ”

This family is just a bunch of troubles, and Yu'er and them don't seem to come out of the same door at all.

Zhou Weiji frowned and shook his head, "No." Breaking away from the Li family means being expelled from the family tree, and only those who are disobedient and unfilial and commit adultery will be removed from the clan. Yu'er is not wrong, he should grow up and study, and he needs to open a note in the clan to prove his goodness, if he is expelled from the family tree, he is afraid that it will be difficult to get out. ”

Lan Yi sighed, Yu'er is still so young, she can't cut him off a way out for this matter, "Second brother, Yu'er is my adopted son, can't he follow me into the family tree?" ”

Zhou Weiji warmed her little hands with her hands, wearing so much, it was still colder than her own hands, "Follow you into the family tree, after we get married, you will follow me into the Zhou family tree." The law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the family tree is renewed every three years, in order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, the ancestors will leave rules, and the adopted son cannot enter the family tree. If Yu'er is expelled from the Li family tree, it will be even more difficult to enter another family tree. Therefore, in general, families without children adopt children and only accept children in the clan, just to ensure that the children can be in the family tree. ”

It turned out that there were still such regulations, Lan Yi frowned and asked, "Like the second uncle's family, they moved out of their ancestral hometown, and what should they do with the additional population?" ”

"When Second Uncle Wang's family came out of their ancestral home, they brought a genealogy with them. The genealogy of their ancestral home records that they took this branch away. After the ancestors of the second uncle settled in Beigou Village, they would put the ancestral tablets and build an ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. Then report the genealogy to the inside, and add more people to the family to continue to bring out the genealogy. It is also a three-year continuation, although the population of the second uncle Wang is small, but it will not mess with the rules, after Lin Shan's father died, the second uncle is the longest in the Wang family, that is, the patriarch of the Wang family. If it is a family with big rules, it will bring its own branch of the family tree, and return to the ancestral home every ten or twenty years to add the genealogy. "Since I knew that Lan Yi was from another time and space, I was not familiar with the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou. Zhou Weiji always explained to her in a lot more detail, "Next autumn and winter will be the year of the family genealogy, you came back with Wen Xuan at the beginning of last year, and you have not yet entered the Wang family tree, and after we get married next year, you will follow me into the family tree of the Zhou family, and you will really become my Zhou Weiji's daughter-in-law." ”

Zhou Weiji has always been silent, and if he says so many things in one breath, others will be shocked when they hear it. Lan Yi, who was only thinking seriously, didn't notice this, she considered what Zhou Weiji said, and then asked: "Wenxuan is a person born in the fifth year of Puhe, according to what the second brother said. Puhe should have continued the genealogy in the fifth year, has he entered the genealogy of the Wang family in Meixian County? ”

Zhou Weiji had already warmed her little hands and kneaded her soft white fingers with satisfaction. "Probably not. Although the law does not stipulate it, it is generally only for men who can walk with their mouths spoken. ”

And that's reasonable. The medical conditions in Dazhou are not as good as in modern times, and the mortality rate of newborns is not low. Waiting for the child to be older before entering the family tree is also to avoid trouble.

"Isn't the girl in the genealogy?" She remembered that some families in modern times have genealogies, and girls are also in the genealogy.

Zhou Weiji shook his head, "After a woman marries, she enters her husband's family tree, if a woman is not married in her life, she cannot be included in the genealogy, and her father's family will not care about her livelihood." ”

What a patriarchal society! Inequality is everywhere. In the Great Zhou, if a woman doesn't get married, she doesn't even have a family, what should she do after her parents die? Oh, by the way, it seems that when a woman reaches a certain age and does not marry, her parents still have to pay a poll tax for her, this damn society!

Lan Yi was thinking about it in her mind, Zhou Weiji was very nervous when she saw her wandering, and squeezed her little hand a little hard, "One by one? ”

Lan Yi came back to her senses and looked up at him.

Zhou Weiji looked at her clear eyes and let go of his hanging heart, "Don't be afraid, they just want Yu'er to go back to worship their ancestors, and they can come back that day." I'll go to Lijia Village tomorrow, say hello to Li Lizheng, and let him take care of it, don't let Li Erlame and others bully him, and besides, if there is a brother-in-law when worshipping the ancestors, he can also take care of one or two. ”

The brother-in-law in Zhou Weiji's mouth is Zhou Yue'e's husband Li Jianye, who is from Lijia Village and is also of the same clan as Yu'er.

Lan Yi nodded, and suddenly asked curiously: "Brother Tuesday, are the people surnamed Zhou in our village also your clansmen?" ”

Zhou Weiji smiled and nodded, Lan Yi thought of the black and fat Zhou Yang daughter-in-law who quarreled with her last year, Zhou Lao Li, who sold meat, and the husband of the eighth mother-in-law and second sister-in-law, etc., but she didn't expect that she and they would become members of the same family.

Lan Yi's big eyes narrowed, and she smiled like a well-behaved cat, "Then, who is the patriarch of the Zhou family?" ”

Zhou Weiji saw her like this, and couldn't help but take her into his arms and kiss her, "It's grandpa, although the surname Zhou in our village is the same clan, but many of them are out of Wufu, and there are not many people who move around." Grandpa has four sons and one daughter, my father is three, our generation's big names all carry the word "Wei", my cousins have a total of seven, respectively, the eldest brother Wei Wen of the uncle's family, the third brother of the second uncle's family Wei Kun, the fourth brother Wei Peng, the sixth brother Wei Yuan, the fifth brother of the fourth uncle's family Wei Hai and the seventh brother Wei Jiang, in addition to me, the sixth brother and the seventh brother have not yet married......"

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the weather was surprisingly good, the sky was blue with large snow and white clouds, the snow on the ground was melted by the fiery sun, and the distant mountains were also moistened, faintly yellow-green.

Also, because of the leap month, this year's New Year is extremely late, and it is the same day as the rainy season, and now it is the real spring.

Lan Yi hugged Yu'er and rode a donkey slowly to Lijia Village, she did not wait at the entrance of the village. Zhou Weiji had already said that she would take Yu'er directly to Zhou Yue's house.

Yu'er recognized the way and took her mother directly to Zhou Yue's house. Zhou Yue's daughter Min'er had been watching at the door, and when she saw Yu'er coming over, she hurriedly ran back and asked her mother to come out.

When Lan Yi jumped off the donkey, Zhou Yue'e was already waiting at the gate with a smile, "Brother and sister, come in, come in." Yu'er is wearing it so well today, this dress was made for you by your mother? ”

Yu'er touched the new clothes and shouted, "Uncle, the new clothes were made for Yu'er by grandma." ”

"Second sister, I'm sorry for you." Lan Yi smiled and pulled the allergic child, "This kid looks so good, his eyebrows and eyes are like you." ”

Zhou Yue'e smiled widely, "Yu'er, do you remember your Sister Min?" The two of you have played together a lot before. ”

Min'er looked at Lan Yi and Yu'er curiously, unlike ordinary country children, but they were not afraid of life at all, "Uncle, Yu'er." Yu'er, we often beat pigweed together, and I will help you carry the basket. ”

PS: Thank you for all kinds of ticket support, at the end of the month, sure enough, there are more tickets, and Xiaolan's heart is warm. (To be continued......)
