After the banquet, Luan Zhi separated from his mother, but he did not cry and endured the redness of his eyes.

Xinqu was busy with other things. When he finished, he realized that this boy had been sitting on the chair for half an hour.

"What's wrong? Miss your mother?"

"Father, I don't have it." Luan Zhi pursed his lips, obviously he wanted to do it, but he still had to endure it.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it in a few days. The child will have to leave the nest one day, but sooner or later.

Living in this era, there are many people who take charge of their own affairs early. Xinqu rubbed his head and said, "If you want your mother, you might as well learn a few words, learn them early, and write to your mother early."

As the saying goes, words are like faces, and thoughts are dispersed. "

"Really?" The child didn't understand very well, but he still said firmly, "Mother said that whatever the adoptive father says will be whatever he says!"

"She feels relieved." Xinqu chuckled and asked the female slaves to take their children back to rest and stay in Xinqu and Axe's house.

Then when they returned to Changping County, just after crossing the suspension bridge, Xin Qu dismounted and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I didn't even know I had an extra nephew! Can't you come and ask?" Ax walked out of the darkness and glanced at Lujia holding a torch, "What on earth are you thinking? You can't give birth? What's the meaning of justice?" son?"

"You know nothing!" Xinqu said angrily, "I have drawn up the household law and will post it tomorrow. The adopted son will not be able to inherit the title and property of the head of the household, only the stepson can."

"Stepson? What does this mean?"

"The meaning of stepson is that if you cannot give birth to a child, you are allowed to adopt a child from your direct or collateral line with the same surname and the same clan within five generations as your eldest son.

And this eldest son must be related to you by blood.Like Luan Zhi, he is just my adopted son. To put it bluntly, he cannot inherit my land.

On the contrary, your boy is my first heir at this stage.

According to the patriarchal tradition, after the father dies, the son succeeds, and the elder brother succeeds the younger brother.

If something happens to me, without a stepson, the land and family property will be given to you. "

Xin Qu spoke straightforwardly about the patriarchal clan.

Ax scratched his head: "Before I left, that thing about Laozi's patriarchal clan that you said you were going to write, was it already finished?"

"It's basically completed. This time it's completely settled and things will be done according to the rules, which will save a lot of problems."

"Okay." Ax thought for a moment, "Since the adopted son will not interfere with the issue of inheritance, then...will other families recognize a bunch of adopted sons, and will it have a great impact on the situation?"

"Don't worry, I'm on guard." Xin Qu curled his lips, "The adopted son cannot inherit the title and land of the head of the household, but he can get the grain savings and slave quota of the head of the household, just like the case of a concubine.

Unless you choose to terminate the relationship with this child.

Illegal adoption of an adopted son will be punished as illegal slavery.

According to the previously revised rules, any slave who owns the public property of the Xin family needs to be registered. Anyone who keeps slaves illegally will be deprived of their slave quota and usage rights for ten years. This price is not low, especially for those who have large fields. For people.

Now that we can manage it, we will implement it according to this, and leave the future matters to our descendants to handle. "

"Okay." Seeing that Xin Qu was still as thorough as before, he felt relieved.

I thought that my brother was confused by someone.

"By the way, hurry up and arrange a place for him. That kid cried secretly as soon as he came back. He woke me up even if I wanted to sleep." Ax said helplessly.

"Okay, didn't I take care of you like this back then? You should also take care of your nephew. If you tame this boy well, he can become a good sword in the future."

Xin Qu followed the axe as he walked.

"I'm annoyed!" Hu said speechlessly, "Zixun asked Ziyu to come and talk to me and asked me if I wanted to follow him back to the south. Ziyu said that I could let him be Zixun's chariot."

"Hey! I'm willing to open a position for you! Che Zheng, this is your confidant!"

Xinqu laughed.

Ever since the old-fashioned driver, he has been a confidant.

Being able to drive for your boss basically means that your boss has entrusted you with his wealth and life.

In the pre-Qin Dynasty, there was an incident where the boss shared the meat but did not give it to the driver. The driver was so angry that he directly dragged the boss to surrender to the enemy.

As a result, the boss was caught and the camp collapsed.

Therefore, Ziyu personally invited him to drive for Zixun. It was basically certain that he was trying to win over the Xin family.In today's terms, this is the brother of the owner of the invested company, working as a driver for a director of a listed investment company. It's all business.

"It's good. It's up to you to make your own choice. Whether you want to stay with the Youxin clan and develop with the clan, or go to a larger platform to develop, you can."

Xinqu did not give his own thoughts, but gave the choice to this boy.

"I just didn't know how to choose, so I came to ask you! But you still..."

Ax was speechless.

If he had known, he would have made his decision long ago.

Xinqu, seeing how troubled he was, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You kid, I thought you would be mature after you went out for a while, but I didn't expect you to be so childish. When you say you don't know how When you choose, haven’t you already made your choice?
Actually you'd rather go south, right? "

Ax was stunned, then lowered his head after a moment: "I just want to look for them again."

Xinqu didn't say anything. The young man who went out with Ax was separated from him.

He might be dead, or he might be thriving somewhere, but in the end he was treated as missing by Xin Qu.

According to the new rules, those who go missing in the field and do not return within three years will be compensated as killed in action.

During the time that Ax was in the clan, he was often questioned by family members who were uncertain about his life or death, and some of the questions were heated.

After all, Ax came back as an outpost for the Shang prince, and upon his return, he immediately became a scholar.

And they still have to wait, not knowing what the future holds.

Therefore, the ax is also suffering.

In addition, the Xin family changed too quickly, and he couldn't adapt to it.

"I……"

"Okay, just make your own decision. Go find your uncle and tell him what you think, and he will help you pave the way.

The fourth cousin was accepted by Zi Xun. After all, she also needs to be relied on. If you become a car driver, you can also become a nail in the south for the Xin family.

Strengthen yourself. I will collect the slaves pledged by Luan Bu in the past few days, give some to you, and take them south with me.

Then...well, I'll give you a clan. "

Xinqu squatted down and wrote the word "Lu" on the ground.

"When you feel that your merits are almost equal to that of a scholar-official, then crown yourself with this family name."

Xin Qu pronounced the word, and the young man remembered it and nodded solemnly.

"Okay, let's go back then. It's getting late, so have a good rest."

Xin Qu patted him on the shoulder, smiled and told him to go back and rest quickly.

When he left, the smile disappeared.

Ax's confusion and the choice he made also made Xin Qu understand that the current Xin family is not strong enough!
If Xin was strong enough, this kid would endure the discomfort and stay.

Forget it, sooner or later we have to arrange a nail in the south to become an anchor to contact the relatives in Henan, so it's better to go there early.

The next few years will be the climax of the entire Ninth Generation Chaos. In the chaos, everyone is like gravel. Whether you can avoid being eliminated and turn into gold depends on your own efforts.

Of course, so do I.

Troubled times and current situations are opportunities for development in marginalized areas!

The summer harvest is coming soon, and we are ready to start a double harvest. After the winter wheat matures, what should we plant for one season?
Well, plant a season of soybeans, cabbage, mustard greens, and prepare some other food for the winter.

Then plant spring wheat the following year.

Very busy.

Xinqu sighed, he had no choice, who asked him to choose farming?

You have to be busy all year round!
But that’s it!After working for the past few years, the Changping and Yanqing bases have been improved, and we can use them to expand, and life will become easier and easier in the future.

Farming and crushing is the way to go! (End of chapter)
