Chapter 261: Son-in-law
Liu Ruyun is a relative!
Note that this is not some obscure statement taken by women out of shyness, but actually come to relatives!
Liu Ruyun and Chen Zhonghou never thought that they could still have relatives in the capital! After all, if Liu Lie had relatives back then, he would not be isolated after being turned back by Shi Zhenxiang.
But the guy in front of him with a family tree not only claims to be a real relative, but also a very remarkable character!
Liu Tai looked at Liu Ruyun with a smile, and his tone was full of regret and guilt.
"Providence makes people, providence makes people! I have been in the capital for decades, and I don't even know that my family is by my side, I am really ashamed, ashamed! ”
Liu Ruyun looked at him coldly, as well as the genealogy in his hand.
Yes, this genealogy does record that the two families were the same four generations ago, but that was four generations ago, more than a hundred years ago.
"Lord Liu, I don't know if this genealogy is true or not, even if it's true, what good is it for you to come to a relative who runs a restaurant with us?"
Liu Tai grinned in embarrassment: "You kid, how can you talk?" According to the genealogy, I am still your uncle, no manners!
Relatives are relatives, how can they be distinguished by whether there is benefit or not? ”
Liu Ruyun snorted: "When my grandfather died, when my mother died, when we were cornered by Shi Zhenxiang, where was your uncle?" ”
Liu Tai grinned again: "It's not, I didn't know at that time." This genealogy was recently seen by someone from my hometown.
You know, this official and dignified three-grade squire, the glory of the ancestors, the family revised the family tree, naturally came to ask for my opinion, this is how I saw it. ”
Of course, Liu Tai didn't know about it, but it turned out that when he entered Beijing as an official, when the spring breeze was proud, Liu Lie had already died, and the Liu family had already fallen.
For a person like him, I wish no one knew what he had to do with the Liu family in the Drunken Immortal Building.
It wasn't until Yan Shifan summoned them to find a way that he remembered that he could still make a fuss about it.
Liu Ruyun didn't bother to talk nonsense with him: "Lord Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it, what do you want to do?" ”
Seeing Liu Ruyun's attitude, Liu Tai knew that the trick of pulling the relationship set seemed to be useless, so he simply stopped pretending, his face was stiff, and his tone became serious.
"Eldest niece, since you are my Liu family, and I am the head of the Liu family, there are some things that I can't ignore! As a woman, what kind of system do you have to show up and stir-fry on the street?
It's better to get married as soon as possible and get married, otherwise let others say that my Liu family doesn't abide by women's morals and has no tutor! ”
Liu Ruyun was furious, and the hot frying spoon pointed directly at Liu Tai's nose, and the heat made Liu Tai, who was sitting on the chair, lean back.
"Which of the Da Ming laws says that women are not allowed to open shops? You're okay, aren't you? The squire of the Criminal Department is such a big official, but he can't control those of us who keep to ourselves! ”
Liu Tai tilted his head and watched distressedly as the oil dripping from the frying spoon fell on his new official uniform, and he couldn't help but be annoyed.
"You, hmph, if it weren't for Xiao Feng, you see that I can't control you! Follow the straight and narrow? Whether you are in peace or not, that has to be my final say!
Let me tell you, today I am not speaking to you as a squire of the Criminal Department, the clan has decided to appoint me as the deputy patriarch, and if the patriarch is not there, I have the right to exercise the clan rules! ”
Liu Ruyun's frying spoon approached again, and Liu Tai couldn't avoid sitting on the chair, so he simply moved the chair back.
"Which of the clan rules prohibits women from opening shops? Which of the clan rules does not allow women to be cooks? You said! ”
Liu Tai sneered: "I don't care about these clan rules, but the clan rules govern one, and your family has no heirs!" According to the rules of the clan, your family's property should be owned by the clan! ”
Liu Ruyun's frying spoon hung down, and her heart felt cold, because she knew that Liu Tai was not talking nonsense.
In fact, from the generation of grandfather Liu Lie, there were no heirs, but fortunately, there was a daughter, and the son-in-law was recruited to continue the incense, which was reasonable, legal and compliant, even if it was a family rule, it couldn't say anything.
But when Liu Lie died, Chen Zhonghou and the little junior sister failed to give birth to a son, in fact, Liu Lie's incense was over. Of course, Liu Ruyun can also recruit a son-in-law, but in fact, this is already a sideline.
If it is in a poor rural area, where the clan is powerful, this kind of side-kicking may not be allowed. But the capital is the capital after all, and the royal law is current, even if the clan rules are recognized, the clan rules are generally not too strict.
So Chen Zhonghou couldn't help but speak: "Yun'er is still there, she is the Liu family, so naturally she can recruit a son-in-law and continue the incense!" ”、
Liu Tai glanced at him with contempt: "My Liu family is talking, what is the matter with you, stay and go!" ”
Chen Zhonghou really stopped talking, even if Liu Tai was not a servant of the Criminal Department, what he said was indeed right, Chen Zhonghou was not a member of the Liu family, and his son-in-law could not participate in the affairs of the clan.
Liu Ruyun rushed up with anger, and once again raised the frying spoon straight, showing his amazing wrist strength.
"I want to recruit a son-in-law and keep the incense of the Liu family, since you are the deputy patriarch, do you say, is it allowed?"
This made Liu Tai very embarrassed, because he didn't expect Liu Ruyun to be so simple.
In fact, Liu Ruyun's best way out is to marry a good family and live a good life, which is normal. Recruiting a son-in-law is a helpless move.
Liu Ruyun witnessed the hardships and hardships of her parents' generation, and naturally knew that the status of her son-in-law was extremely low, and the whole family would be looked down upon by society.
What's more, Liu Ruyun is twenty-six years old, she is an absolute old girl in this era, and no one wants to be a son-in-law, so it is even more difficult, not that you can recruit it.
But Liu Ruyun's question, Liu Tai is not easy to answer. Because since he is speaking as the deputy patriarch, he must reflect the interests of the clan.
The greatest benefit of a clan is to maintain its scale and continue to expand! Therefore, the women in the clan said that they did not want to marry outside, and they wanted to recruit sons-in-law, which is a good thing!
Marrying one less person, recruiting one more family, and continuing to spread the branches and leaves, it is all the incense of the Liu family!
Therefore, Liu Tai can't say that he doesn't agree, so he himself will not abide by the clan rules first, and what moral supremacy will he use to sanction Liu Ruyun?
Liu Tai had no choice but to say with a straight face: "Okay, of course I agree!" But this matter can't be delayed forever, even if you are not in a hurry, the clan can't afford to wait!
As the deputy patriarch, I ask that you must recruit a son-in-law within a month, otherwise, it will be dealt with according to your family's last resort, and all property will belong to the clan! ”
Liutai's move is really ruthless enough, I can't stop you, so push you hard and see what you do! You said that you want to recruit a son-in-law, but you can't keep saying this, let's talk about seventy or eighty!
You're twenty-six now, and I'll let you recruit a son-in-law within a month, is it a hurry? Of course, it's not in a hurry!
Liu Ruyun was so angry that she couldn't speak, and raised the frying spoon violently, and Liu Tai jumped up in fright.
"You dare! If you dare to beat up your own official, then it's not a matter of clan rules! This official is the squire of the Criminal Department, and he will directly arrest you and send you to the prison of the Criminal Department! ”
Chen Zhonghou hurriedly stopped Liu Ruyun, and the father and daughter watched Liu Tai get on the sedan chair briskly, humming a little song and leaving, and their hearts were sad.
If Xiao Feng was alive, who would dare to bully people like this......
Yan Shifan is cautiously testing Jiajing's bottom line, and he will never personally take action to embarrass the people of Xiao Mansion, but through other officials of the Yan Party.
He will never let Yan Dang directly move the core figures of Xiao Mansion, but from the periphery, such as Liu Ruyun, it is difficult to say whether he is Xiao Feng's person or not.
Recruiting a son-in-law within a month is not impossible to achieve, but Liu Ruyun's life is likely to be ruined.
In the past, when people recruited sons-in-law, they dared to make a decision after several years or even more than ten years of investigation. Because he entrusts his life with his wealth, how can he not be cautious?
In a month, recruiting a guy can't guarantee a good job, how can recruiting a son-in-law be a good guarantee?
Chen Zhonghou gritted his teeth, and between his father-in-law's wish and his daughter's lifelong happiness, he decided to choose his daughter.
"Xiaoyun, let's not recruit anymore, turn all the property into a dowry, and find you a good mother-in-law!"
Liu Ruyun shook her head firmly: "No, grandpa and mother work so hard to support the Liu family, I can't just give up, don't worry, Dad, I have a way!" ”
Chen Zhonghou looked at his daughter in surprise, what can you do about such an impossible task?
At night, in the new house, Xiaomei jumped up and looked at Liu Ruyun: "Are you crazy?" Let my lord be your son-in-law? ”
Liu Ruyun smiled bitterly: "I also know that this matter is too difficult for Miss Xue'er, but I was really desperate, so I thought of this way."
If Xiao Gongzi was alive, I would definitely not dare to think so, but Xiao Gongzi ...... Gone, it's just a name, I'm just borrowing this name to use it, okay? ”
Liu Xueer was not as intense as Xiaomei, but she was also scared. But when she came to her senses, she began to think about it seriously.
"You're a friend of your late husband, I know that. If you have a problem, of course I should help.
It's just that this thing is really incredible, can a man marry a wife and become a son-in-law? ”
Liu Ruyun has already inquired: "The living are definitely not good, but there is really no law that says the dead are not good."
I asked the lawyers, and they said that in my case, in fact, I just want to have a son-in-law in the name of a door-to-door son-in-law, and then adopt a child to continue the incense.
Just like you, if you don't marry Xiao Gongzi, then even if you adopt a child, you won't be able to inherit the incense justifiably. ”
Liu Xue'er bit her lip, slightly moved. Indeed, if Xiao Feng is alive, then she is also reluctant. But Xiao Feng is gone, and it doesn't seem too much to help his friend in the name of helping.
Thinking of this, she nodded, and came up with a better idea.
"In any case, there is a loophole in the law. I have an idea to make the government say nothing wrong! ”
Liu Ruyun was overjoyed: "Good sister, say it quickly, what is your idea?" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
