Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 267 Rules
He glared at his sister-in-law. "Second daughter-in-law, what are you doing? Our two families are separated. What do you mean when you come to my house and make a lot of noise? Jinghan is my daughter-in-law, not yours. She Filial piety or not, what we say has nothing to do with you?" Mrs. He didn't care about that, she didn't deal with Mrs. Liu in the first place, so she wouldn't give Mrs. Liu face.

"Sister-in-law, look at your daughter-in-law, is this how she talks to her elders? Which daughter-in-law behaves like this?" Mrs. Liu was still relentless.

"My daughter-in-law, I have the final say on the rules, and you don't need to take care of them. You are capable, go back and take care of your daughter-in-law. Anyway, Zifu is married now, how do you like to set the rules, go back to your family Go daughter-in-law, don't tell me what to do." He waved his hand, "If you have nothing to do, go home and discipline your daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Liu's face turned red and white after being choked by Mrs. He, "Sister-in-law, we are all members of the Lin family after all, a family of flesh and blood. Could it be that Zixuan can't even help with this matter? Even if he is not in the yamen Inside, there are so many properties in Zixuan, why can't you put your brother in any place?" Mrs. Liu still didn't give up, and tried to arrange Zifu into Zixuan's property in another way.

Zixuan laughed when he heard this, "Second Aunt, do you really think that a Zhizhou is a great official? My one-year salary is not enough to support the family. There are some industries in Xizhou. But those are all bought by Jinghan's dowry, those are not my property, but Jinghan's." What was purchased with Jinghan's dowry is of course Jinghan's property.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Liu froze there.She never imagined that Zixuan's properties belonged to Jinghan.Mrs. Liu looked at her husband, and the couple were a little dumbfounded.

Zixuan and the others have a lot of property in Xizhou, and they have made a lot of money in the past few years. The Lin family knows about it.Liu originally thought that if he could get his son into Zixuan's property, they would all be brothers of the same family, and Zixuan would not say anything if he would take advantage of it.Such a large property, several thousand taels of silver, can't even be seen at all.

But who would have thought that these properties were all set up by Jing Han, and now, his plan was in vain.

"Zixuan, it's not your aunt talking about you. Since ancient times, women have married and obeyed their husbands, and they regard their husbands as their gods. Isn't what belongs to this daughter-in-law belong to you? Besides, your daughter-in-law is the wife of an official, how can you Let her manage the property in public? This is not right. In those big families, there are officials in the family, and there are clan members who help manage the property. Our Lin family is now considered a good family. If you let your wife Managing the property will make people laugh, I think it's better to let Zifu and Zixin go and take care of it for you." Mrs. Liu is not the kind of person who can let it go, and when she rolled her eyes, she thought of a way .

Jinghan couldn't help laughing, "Second Aunt, there is a law in the imperial court. A woman's dowry can only be passed on to her children, and her husband's family cannot take it. Second Aunt, I don't understand. When will my dowry be transferred? Is it Zixuan's property? That's what I left for my children."

"There is still such a law in the imperial court, why don't I believe it? Don't say anything else, in our ten miles and eight villages, all the new daughters-in-law come in, so they have to hand over the dowry to the mother-in-law to manage. The daughter-in-law's property , that belongs to the in-law’s family, where have you heard that it can’t be used by the in-law’s family? Sister-in-law, this daughter-in-law of your family really needs to be disciplined and disciplined.” Liu is still lingering here relentlessly.

"Yo, if according to what Second Aunt said, Brother Zifu's daughter-in-law also gave the dowry to Second Aunt? Then I have to congratulate Second Aunt, you have found a good wife." Jinghan is not afraid of her at all, so she doesn't believe it, any woman is stupid enough to take out her dowry.

As soon as these words came out, Liu's face was not very good-looking.Zifu's daughter-in-law is not a good stubble, how could she entrust the money to her?It would be nice if she didn't take money from her mother-in-law.

Seeing Liu's expression, Jinghan knew what was going on, and couldn't help laughing, "I have to ask my sister-in-law about it. When my sister-in-law gets married, I can't help but look at the dowry." Quite a few. Alas, Second Aunt's life is really good, it's rare to meet such a good wife."

The old man and the old lady have been silent all this time. Originally, the old man said that Zixuan was not allowed to give Zifu and the others any errands.However, this old man accidentally found out about Zixuan and the others' return this time, partly because of Xu Chengkuan's 66th birthday.The old man's heart is not strong, so no matter what Mrs. Liu said just now, the old man didn't object.

Now when he heard that Zixuan's property belonged to Jinghan, the old man felt even more uncomfortable.They are all from peasant backgrounds, and there are some deep-rooted concepts that when a woman is married, she should belong to her husband's family.As for the laws of the imperial court, the old man knows a little bit, but those are for dignitaries, not for ordinary people like them.

The old man seems to have forgotten that his grandson is also an official now, and Jing Han is not an ordinary woman, but a princess appointed by the emperor himself.

"Okay, shut up, everyone. Why are you arguing here? It's noisy. Second child, second daughter-in-law, you think about Zifu, this is good. Zixuan, if you are really capable It doesn't take much effort to arrange one for Zifu. They are all close relatives of the family, so they can't be too unfamiliar, right?" The old man looked at Zixuan and said.

Zixuan frowned when he heard this. "Grandpa, is it really easy for you to be the official of your grandson? My grandson was in Zhendong for four years, and then he was promoted to be the magistrate of Xizhou. Do you know how hard your grandson worked to get this magistrate? You Do you know how many people your grandson has offended? If it weren’t for the emperor and King Fu’s care, grandson wouldn’t say what he is doing to know the state, I’m afraid he would have been ginned up by others, and it would be trivial to demolish an official for the people.” Zixuan was a little I don't understand why Grandpa's attitude has changed.

Zixuan was exhausted, he didn't expect that in the eyes of his relatives, it was wrong for him not to help. "Grandpa, it's not that I don't care about my family. If Zifu wants to start a small business and has no capital, I can give him some money and help him, all of which are fine. But it's a firm decision to put him in the yamen. No. It would be fine if Zifu had some ability, but he doesn't even know many characters, so I really can't arrange this."

Zixuan looked at his grandfather and father, and said with a firm expression, "When we came back from Chunwei, my father-in-law, Jinghan's father, made rules with the Xu family. No one is allowed to rely on the name of the family Head, go out to make trouble, run rampant in the village. I have to say this today for everyone to hear. Don't think that I have become a sesame-sized official, as if I am so great, and my family can follow suit and become rich and prosperous gone."

Before Zixuan finished speaking, Ziwen just came in from the outside, "Big brother said well, the ups and downs of the officialdom, how can it be so easy? Countless people are staring at you. Big brother and sister-in-law are in the east of the town. Do your best to benefit the common people. So what? Didn’t someone see Zhendong as a piece of fat and want to take a bite? Then the original prefect of Longzhou, didn’t he go to the court to impeach my elder brother? ? If there was no flood at that time, I am afraid that the prefect of Longzhou would have secretly attacked it."

Ziwen once stayed in Zhendong for a period of time, so he knows Zixuan's actions the most, "You think my elder brother became the magistrate at a young age, is it because he is a prosperous official? No, it was my elder brother who worked hard It came out. During the heavy rain, my elder brother stood on the embankment, without closing his eyes for three days and three nights, just staring at the rising water. If the flood really broke the embankment, I am afraid that my elder brother would be the first People who were swept away by the flood.”

Ziwen turned to look at Erlin and his wife, "Do you think my elder brother has a lot of property and earned a lot of money, do you think it's because he got benefits from being an official? No, that's my sister-in-law, who is thinking hard about ways to get rich, He also took out all his dowry. Then he led the people in the east of the town to build so many workshops, and only then did he have the current industry. My elder brother wanted to build a dam, and my sister-in-law took out 5000 taels of silver at once. , I support my elder brother's approach. My elder sister-in-law is a rare and rare woman in this world, and she is also my elder brother's good helper. If there is no elder sister-in-law, what do you think my elder brother can do in that poor place in the east of the town?"

Ziwen's series of rhetorical questions left everyone in the room speechless.There were tears in He's eyes, "Zixuan, Jinghan, come, come to mother. You have suffered a lot these past few years. Mother is here to tell your father, if anyone in the family dares to mention anything If you make things difficult for my son, I will be the first to not forgive him."

The Xing family continued from the side, "I think our family should establish a rule. In the future, if someone uses Zixuan's name to bully others outside and do evil, then he is not a descendant of the Lin family. I am the head of the Lin family. , What I said represents the Lin family, and anyone who dares not listen will be expelled from the Lin family directly."

The old man opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.

Lin Xingye and Mrs. Liu were a little stunned. What's wrong?I came here for a while, but I failed to find an errand for my son. Not to mention, I asked my elder brother to make such a rule.

Zixuan looked at his uncle, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Zifu should just farm the land at home honestly. I have already discussed with Jinghan that we want to buy a forest near our house, and we will work together to cultivate the land at home. Plant some sticks. If the second uncle is willing, I can give you two hundred feet of ginseng soil a year, so that you don’t have to pay taxes on it, and you can save a lot of money. I can’t do anything better than paying for it myself. Do it yourself, be down-to-earth, and don’t need to be controlled by others.”
