Chapter 12 Entering the Genealogy

Xu Hanhai listened to words such as children, enlightenment, and future from a distance.

I felt sad for a moment.

His father and several younger brothers were all killed in the battle. Two of the younger brothers married but had no heirs.

The second brother just got married a few days ago.

In the huge Xuanwu Hou Mansion, there is only one grandson named Zhi'er.

Fortunately it's a girl.

Xu Hanhai knew that his mother-in-law had always been dissatisfied with the children of their concubines. His own mother had also been assassinated by his mother-in-law. If Ruozhier was a boy, he would have died long ago.

My aunt will not tolerate anyone who can threaten the status of the second wife.

Xu Hanhai bowed to Mr. Song and Elder Xu in a thorough manner.

Mrs. Song didn't want to see him, so she responded casually.

Xu Hanhai did not ask for trouble. He walked to his wife and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing? Who wants to enlighten you?"

His family's Zhi'er had already started enlightenment last year and had been studying at clan school for a year. Why would there be anyone in the family who needed enlightenment? This alarmed Elder Xu.

Li Shi smiled: "Uncle, I forgot to tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

"My mother took pity on my eldest family for having no children. A few days ago, she specially sent two children from a branch of the Xu family to be adopted by my eldest family. Today is the day to enter them into the family tree!"

"Bullshit!"

Xu Hanhai is tall, with square cheeks and a rough temperament. If you look closely, his facial features are handsome.

He had a low voice and roared out. Everyone else was startled, but they were not close enough to hear what he said.

He smiled at everyone and took Li to the distance.

"Why don't you discuss such a big matter with me? I told you that a branch is enough. My mother and the old lady have sent people over, but I refused. The two people in the house have also been fed. Tang, don’t you understand what I mean?”

He was a concubine, his mother was of low status, and although his father favored him, he could not interfere much in the backyard.

The old lady was cold-hearted, but she would protect her second brother before he was born. After the second brother was born, the old lady stopped caring about these disputes.

He knew that the old lady just wanted to preserve the bloodline of the Hou family, and that bloodline was his, or the second brother, or the third brother...

She doesn't care.

As long as it is the blood of the Hou family, it will be fine.

His childhood experience made Xu Hanhai not want to have so many children, but just wanted to live in harmony as a family.

Li knew what Xu Hanhai was feeling. She held Xu Hanhai's hand and said, "Sir, I know."

"But there are deep reasons for what happened today. I will tell you in detail when I get back home. This incident may be an opportunity for our big house."

"What chance can there be?"

He has a daughter and no shortage of children!
"My uncle loves Zhi'er, but Zhi'er is a girl after all. She will get married in the future, so we have to make plans for her! With her current status, if Zhi'er marries a lord from a noble family, she may not be able to become his wife. You suffer every day; if you marry a businessman, you probably don't want to."

Xu Hanhai was silent.

His daughter certainly deserves to marry the best.

But now he is just an idle official with no power. Now he can still rely on the Marquis Mansion. When his second brother succeeds as Marquis of Xuanwu, his aunt may immediately let him go out to open the mansion.

He was the son of a military commander, and the Qingliu family looked down upon him; he was separated from the Marquis Mansion, and the military officers nearby would not want to marry him; and he did not have the strength to capture his son-in-law.

"Let's go over and enter the genealogy first."

Li persuaded softly.

The atmosphere there is still deadlocked.

Song was still hesitant.

In fact, she had no intention of letting Qi Ge'er join the clan and study for enlightenment. The gentleman invited by the Xu clan to study was the most ordinary scholar, and his knowledge was only average.

This is why she must discuss it with Xie Lingyu.Xie's disciples are all over the world.

It is not difficult for Xie Lingyu to ask members of the Xie family to come forward and hire a top scholar to enlighten Brother Qi. There are also those bachelors with large family backgrounds and profound knowledge, who are better than Mr. Xue Xue!

Xie Lingyu stopped trying to persuade him and just bowed his hands to the great elder.

"Elder, please trouble me to enter Brother Xu into the family tree first. Brother Xu is already seven years old and smart. He has studied hard for a year and will take the county examination next year. He may not fail!"

The great elder took everyone to the Xu Ancestral Hall.

Kneel down and worship your ancestors, burn incense and salute, and ask for a genealogy.

"Xu Jiaxu, the son of Xu Bao, a side branch, is seven years old. He has passed into the second house of the Xu family of Marquis Xuanwu in Shengjing and is named Xu Jiaxu."

After the great elder washed his hands, he took a pen and wrote Xu Jiaxu's name in a straight and straight manner.

Then burn incense and ask Xu Jiaxu to worship his ancestors.

After a set of processes is completed.

Mrs. Song said: "I would like to ask the elders to enter the family tree for these two children. Under the name of the eldest family."

She and Aunt Zhou had discussed carefully just now, and it was better to enter the child into the family tree first.When the time comes to learn from Brother Xu, Xie Lingyu will not treat his children badly.

Moreover, what Xie Lingyu said did not make sense. Brother Qi was younger than Brother Xu and smarter than him. If he could pass the county examination at the age of six, he would be a world-famous genius.

Although Xu Hanhai was reluctant, Mrs. Li kept poking him from behind. Under the gaze of the Great Elder, he stepped forward, raised his hands and saluted, "Excuse me, Great Elder."

outside the shrine.

Xu Jiaxu's face was pink with excitement, and he looked up at Xie Lingyu.

He is his mother's child!

Seeing how happy he was, Xie Lingyu was naturally happy, but there were some things that needed to be said.

"You may or may not listen to what I just said."

Xu Jiaxu looked confused.

Xie Lingyu: "Studying hard is a must, starting from today! You also have to take the county examination. You are old enough to try it. Although the county examination is only the most basic and simple test in the imperial examination, your foundation is weak, even if you study hard It’s a bit difficult to pass in one year.”

"When you study in the future, you don't have to take the county examination to your heart. If you think about it every day, you won't be able to meditate while studying. I have told you before that you are not required to pass the imperial examination and high school, as long as you study and be sensible."

"Yes, mother, the child will definitely keep it in mind!"

Xie Lingyu smiled and stroked his hair with satisfaction.

"I have asked people to find a well-lit room for you to use as a study room next to the southwest corner door. There are few people there and it is quiet. It is a good place to study."

"Thank you mother."

Xu Jiaxu happily wanted to hug Xie Lingyu, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he retracted it.

He remembered that Xu Jiaqi also wanted to do this in the morning, but was blocked.

I guess my mother wouldn't like this.

Xu Jiaxu had no choice but to secretly remember that he must listen to his mother's words in the future, study hard, and repay his mother's kindness.

Xie Lingyu didn't notice Xu Jiaxu's little movements.

Taoyue and Heyue behind her did see it.

The two of them looked at each other and nodded. It seemed that Master Xu was much more sensible than Master Qi.

"I remember asking someone to call two young men for you yesterday. Where are they? It's such a big deal today, so I won't be there to serve you."

Xie Lingyu frowned. She had seen Xu Muhuan surrounded by two maids early in the morning, and only Xu Jiaxu was empty.

Xu Jiaxu opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But still bowed his head.
