Female Official In the East Palace: Chapter 193

The elder brother also turned a blind eye to her nonsense, but Ji Ya and Wan Qi looked at the old lady Bao in surprise and anger, and Dong Zhu paid no attention to the people who Rong Xin was surprised by. .

The second daughter-in-law of Mrs. Xu became more and more annoyed, stepped forward, and scolded: "If you continue, I will tear your mouth!"

"Changshun's!"

"The second one's!"

Two snorts, one from Patriarch Li and one from Old Madam Xu.

"Changshun's family, how can you contradict your elders?" Patriarch Li rebuked Mrs. Xu's second daughter-in-law, and without waiting for Mrs. Xu to speak, she said helplessly at Mrs. Bao on the ground. "Second aunt, there are nobles here, don't make trouble unreasonably."

And when the old lady Bao heard Patriarch Li say this to her, she fell to the ground crying, crying loudly: "You are turning your elbows out, helping outsiders to bully your aunt, I might as well be dead..."

"Second aunt." Patriarch Li glanced at Rong Xin and the others with a red face, and said urgently to the second uncle, "If you don't help the second aunt get up, don't lose the Li family in front of outsiders. face!"

"Li Changhe! You call me a shame! I'm dead..."

Seeing this, Rong Xin suddenly chuckled.

But Rong Xin thinks that the men of Li's second family are not good things. They don't say a word to the old lady to make trouble outside. They have no choice but to stay out of it at any time.

Rong Xin put down the cup and made a sound, but the old lady in the hall naturally couldn't hear it, but the few people around her could hear it clearly.

Don't be angry.

Rong Xin curled the corners of her mouth, and even said kindly: "Patriarch Li, it's a little noisy, please ask this old lady to shut up, otherwise, I will ask my people to ask her to be quiet. ."

The cry of Mrs. Bao stopped abruptly, and there was not a single tear on her face.

"This is how good it is to communicate calmly and at the bottom?" Rong Xin nodded with satisfaction, turned slightly sideways to Mrs. Xu, patted her hand, and said with a smile, "Anyway, they are of the same clan, Kindly, what does the old sister say?"

They will leave sooner or later. Old Mrs. Xu is all women. This world is strict with women, and it is necessary to have clan protection. Complete discord with the clan.

She hadn't communicated with Mrs. Xu about this before, and she mentioned it now because she wanted to see her attitude.

And Mrs. Xu is also sensible, no matter how ugly the trouble was, the matter was directed at Patriarch Li, and she reluctantly raised the corner of her mouth, "Exactly, I have been married to the Li family for decades, I don’t want to see the reputation of the Li family ruined, but if the clan forces us orphans and widows…”

Rong Xin held Mrs. Xu's hand down, signaling her to stop, and then said to Patriarch Li: "The previous clan said that they should adopt stepchildren, allow the two nieces-in-law to remarry, and give Man Yue that The girl introduced people, this is the best in the clan, and they are actually grateful."

"Madam!" Changshun's daughter-in-law said anxiously, and then shut her mouth under her mother-in-law's eyes.

Old Mrs. Bao's eyes lit up and said with a smile, "A noble lady like you is sensible."

Rong Xin glanced at her with a smile, and continued: "It's just that who is the adopter, whether you want to remarry, and where the girl in the family will marry, it's up to my sister of the Xu family to have the final say, the clan is forcing it. , can't really tell."

Patriarch Li hurriedly said: "Never forced, never forced..."

Rong Xin raised the teacup, looked at the tea leaves in the cup, and said softly, "If that's the case, let's prove it with words. I'll hire a middleman, and I'll be there later."

"This, this doesn't have to be a document, right?"

Rong Xin ignored Patriarch Li's words, looked sideways at Mrs. Xu's three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and asked herself, "Whether or not to remarry and the marriage of the girls in the family, your family will decide in the future, As for this adoption, you will be right today, do you really want it or not?"

The old lady Xu and her two daughters-in-law looked at each other for a long time, and said, "I will not oppose the remarriage of the daughters-in-law, but the full moon and the full moon are the girls of my Li family, I can't bear them in the future No brother to trust."

That is to want someone to inherit the incense.

Rong Xin ignored Mrs. Bao's family who were getting brighter and brighter, and said to the patriarch Li: "So, it is time to choose a child who will be compatible with the Xu family sister. What about the patriarch?"

Patriarch Li nodded, "Madam is right."

"That person..." Rong Xin glanced at the Li family members in the courtyard unintentionally, "Either an orphan or the second son of the family, what does the patriarch think?"

"That's right, Madam."

"There is one more thing," Rong Xin suddenly remembered something, wondering, "Sister Xu has two sons, whose name is this adopted?"

Patriarch Li affirmed: "Of course it is under the name of the eldest son."

"Isn't it a bit unfair?" Rong Xin seemed to be the family of Mrs. Xu, and became more and more worried.

Patriarch Li said: "We are all ordinary people. If you have a son, you will inherit the incense, and you don't need to act according to the etiquette."

"The patriarch said, can one son inherit two cases?"

The elder brother looked sideways, and Patriarch Li nodded without thinking: "Exactly."

Rong Xin heard the words, rubbed his palms and smiled and said: "In this way, if one son has two cases, it's not necessary to choose the orphan and the second son, it's okay to choose a child to inherit the two cases. what."

"This..." Patriarch Li felt that something was wrong, but he had something to say in advance, so he couldn't change his words temporarily, so he had to nod, but he didn't think Mrs. Xu would choose such a child.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the Li family standing at the door, and then someone outside the hospital shouted: "The county magistrate and the village chief are here!"

Today, not only the Li family are here, but there are also many villagers outside watching the excitement.

Zhan Xingwen, magistrate of Qinghe County, hurriedly stepped into the hospital, ignoring others, and bowed directly to the elder brother, "Xiaguan Qinghe County magistrate Zhan Xingwen, meet up...sir!"

The village head, together with other villagers inside and outside the courtyard, saw the county magistrate like this, and knelt on the ground together in a daze and panic.

The elder brother didn't even look at him, his attitude was even a bit arrogant: "You're late."

The county magistrate Zhan was dripping with sweat instantly, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "Please forgive me."

The eldest brother has no plans to punish him, and said in a flat voice: "The old lady in the family wants to take care of the Li family's affairs. Use the evidence as evidence, you are a middle-aged person."

When Rong Xin heard the three words "old lady", the corners of her mouth twitched, Rong mama is not enough, does she still have to bear such a weight?

And the county magistrate Zhan immediately replied: "Yes, it is not humiliating to be an official." Then he turned to Rong Xin swiftly, although he did not know which "lady" she was, he still respectfully saluted, " Madam An, even if you tell the lower officials to do so."

Although the eldest brother has a better reputation, the rhythm is always in Rong Xin's hands, so she smiled and said: "It's the Xu family's sister who is preparing to adopt the children of the family, and she wants a son. As for the two cases, please ask the magistrate Zhan to be a witness."

"One son and two sects?" The magistrate of Zhan County was surprised. Seeing the acquiescence of the Zhijun king, he raised his hand, wiped his sweat, and said, "Yes, yes, this is the order of the lower official. People set up written evidence, dare to ask who is the candidate for adoption?"

The old lady Bao shouted sharply: "It's my little grandson!"

But Mrs. Xu clearly doesn't like their grandson.

Everyone looked at her one after another, and Patriarch Li stared wide-eyed and said angrily, "Don't be presumptuous in front of adults!"

The old lady Bao looked at Rong Xin, the others and the county magistrate, and reluctantly stood back behind the man at home.

County magistrate Zhan looked at Prince Zhi's face, then looked at Rong Xin, "Madam, this...?"

Rong Xin smiled disapprovingly: "The candidate has not yet been decided, Magistrate Zhan will wait a moment, may I have a talk with Sister Xu?"

"If you please."

Old Mrs. Xu's house is not far from the house of the patriarch Li, Rong Xin got up and prepared to talk with them back to Mrs. Xu's house, and when she moved, Dongzhu immediately stood up, and then Jiya and Wan Qi also looked like he was going to follow.

The eldest brother didn't move, he sat on the chair and gave the guards a look, motioning them to follow.

Rong Xin brought her three children and returned to her house with Mrs. Xu, and asked straight to the point, "Old sister, how is Li Nan?"

"Li Nan?!" Mrs. Xu and her two daughters-in-law were surprised by her proposal.

Rong Xin calmly said: "In the case of adoption, although this child is old, he has an excellent character. I see that he has some difficulties in his family.

Old Mrs. Xu clenched her sleeves tightly, then loosened them, and said uneasily: "Li Nan is a scholar, I am very happy to have such a grandson, but how can such a good thing be possible?"

"Whether it will work, ask him and his mother to come over and chat to find out. If it doesn't work, it's okay to settle for the next best thing." Rong Xin asked again, "This matter still has to be done by you guys first. Your opinion is the top priority, and if you have other ideas, it’s fine.”

The old lady Xu said directly: "Li Nan is a kind-hearted child, he has a future, we have no reluctance."

So, Rong Xin sent someone to invite Li Nan and his mother to come here. After Mrs. Xu said the reason for inviting them, she added: "I took the test to teach Li Nan yesterday. The foundation is good, if you can go to school again, it is not necessarily a good thing, you two have their own difficulties, and mutual benefit is not a bad thing."

Old Mrs. Xu only said that she received one hundred taels of pension silver, but what the government gave was actually one hundred taels per person.

It is also a pity for him to be a heroic man, or to teach Li Nan's mother to boil down his body.

Good family, Li Nan can also help through them..."

As soon as Rong Xin said this, Li Nan's mother was the first to agree, and the two families decided to become a family and help each other.

Go back to the house of Clan Chief Li, and under the witness of the magistrate Zhan, set up a letter.

The county magistrate Zhan also stated in front of Rong Xin and the elder brother that when the ancestral hall is opened in the Li family, he will come to testify in person, and he will report it like the two of them.

The eldest brother is absolutely necessary, Rong Xin smiled and greeted him a few words. Before leaving, he was a good person. He asked the magistrate of Zhan to protect him. You can enter the county school to study.

That's all, Rong Xin and others got on the carriage and returned to Huai'an Mansion.

On the carriage, Wan Qi babbled and recounted the events of Mrs. Xu's house from beginning to end.

Rong Xin did not expect the little girl to have such a good memory, and was slightly surprised.

The elder brother listened to the whole part cooperatively, and said thoughtfully, "Auntie met that Li Nan yesterday, so she has this plan?"

"I heard what the child said yesterday, and every sentence is from his mother. Although I didn't ask, I guessed that he may have lost his father." Rong Xinxi said, "I will test and teach him to recite. At the time, he did not see whether his talent was outstanding or not, but since his husband allowed him to take the county exam at such an age, it must have been a bit extraordinary, and it would be a pity if it was delayed."

The big brother nodded in agreement, but his eyes were not very focused.

Seeing this, Rong Xin asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

The eldest brother looked at the two daughters, then shook his head, "Just looking at the granddaughter of the Li family, she is only as big as Jiya..."
