The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 19

After Xie Yujiao finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving He Wenhai standing at the door, and everyone picked up the pipes and continued on their way.

Mrs. Xu saw that Xie Yujiao's complexion was not good, but it was not easy to ask her anything at the moment, so she suppressed her doubts and followed.

When Xie Yujiao and the others arrived at the cemetery, the magistrate Kang Guangshou and the head of the Xie family were already waiting there.The patriarch of the generation of Xie's family is the brother of Mrs. Xie's concubine, that is, the second uncle in Xie Yujiao's mouth.Originally, the position of patriarch belonged to Mrs. Xie, but he was busy with business and didn't have much time to take care of the family affairs, so he resigned from the position of patriarch.In Mr. Xie's generation, he only cares about giving some money to these uncles who have no income every year, and never cares about the affairs of the clan. Anyway, everything can be paid for with money, so it is not a big deal in Mr. Xie's opinion. .

But who would have thought that when this matter happened now, Mr. Xie died early and had no son, so this would become the top priority of the Xie family.The last time Xie Yujiao saw this second uncle was choosing a grave for Master Xie, this man invited four or five Feng Shui masters in one go, making it look like Master Xie wanted to bury a treasure cave of dragon veins.In fact, Boss Tao knew in his heart that he just wanted to get some more money out of it. Boss Tao also told Xie Yujiao about this matter.

At this time, the second uncle just regarded himself as the head of the patriarch, and felt that he had face, represented the entire Xie family, and approached the county magistrate.

Seeing Xie Yujiao approaching, he pretended to be the head of a family and said, "Yujiao, come here to greet the magistrate."

Xie Yujiao raised her eyes and glanced back, her face still indifferent, she only suppressed her anger and said, "Second Uncle, I still hold my father's spiritual tablet in my hand, you are asking my father to greet the magistrate ?”

It is an unwritten rule that the dead are the biggest. No matter how the county magistrate is one of the parents, Xie Yujiao does not have to salute him while holding Master Xie's spiritual tablet.This sentence reminded Kang Guangshou, he bowed his hands and bowed to Master Xie's spiritual seat.

Xie Yujiao stood up straight and suffered without even raising her eyelids.

When the second old lady saw him, he felt suffocated and panicked. He didn't know how such an honest and kind person, Boss Xie, gave birth to such a tricky girl. He originally thought that Boss Xie was dead and he had no son. He has the final say on the matter of choosing an heir.Although he also has a grandson under his knees, he is still a baby boy, and he thought that Mrs. Xu may not be interested in it, but no matter whose child Mrs. Xu likes, must he go through his relationship?

Therefore, the second old man has received gifts from several families in private these days, and he is very proud of himself!Besides, the county magistrate is here today, so it's time to mention this matter to the county magistrate to see how long Xu and Xie Yujiao can delay.At that time, as long as the child enters the house, the Xie family will know how much property and money the Xie family has. At that time, everyone who sees will have a share, and everyone will share it together?
The second old man hadn't woken up from this sweet dream yet, and Xie Yujiao gave him such a bet again, so he felt unhappy, but there was nothing he could do, he could only endure it, and smiled awkwardly at Kang Guangshou.

The tomb was built early in the morning. The coffin was dropped, soil was filled, and green pine trees were planted first. Craftsmen were required to do the follow-up work. Today, only the tombstone and merit monument are erected.

Because there were so many people present, Boss Tao purposely built a shed on the side. Everyone was tired after walking for a day, so Xie Yujiao accompanied Mrs. Xu to the shed to rest.Several aunts came over with tired looks on their faces, Mrs. Xu also let them go to rest in the shed next door.

Xu Yuxing was outside to greet friends from the shopping mall in front of Mr. Xie. When he saw Mrs. Xu and Xie Yujiao enter the shed, he followed him in, with a bit of anger on his face: "Your second uncle, I really can't see it, what? Everything has to be interfered with, and now I am trying to please the county magistrate, it really embarrasses the Xie family."

"Let him go, there is no one in this village who can stand on the stage!" Although Xu did not look down on the country people, but these years, she still felt that these country people were difficult to take care of, and only Mr. Xie was good of.

Seeing the sad look on Xu's face, Xie Yujiao comforted her, "Mom, stop worrying about it. Today is a good day for Daddy to go to the grave. Let's not think about these unhappy things."

Mrs. Xu nodded vigorously, and said: "I am afraid that he will offend the new county magistrate, and he will blame our Xie family in the future."

Xie Yujiao just smiled and said, "The magistrate is not so stingy, I think he is quite kind."

Although Xie Yujiao didn't know Kang Guangshou, the Second Elder Master had recommended him just now. Seeing that Kang Guangshou not only didn't put on airs, but saluted Master Xie's spirit seat, she knew that he should be a reasonable official.

Xu Yuxing said a few words, but when he saw someone shouting outside, he had to go out again. When he reached the door, he turned back to Xie Yujiao and said, "Jiaojiao, if he asks your mother to recognize his heir later, you can say that you want to recruit a son-in-law, today's county The grandfather is also there, he understands the laws of Dayong, and if you recruit a son-in-law, the ancestral property of the Xie family will belong to you alone, and it will belong to your children in the future."

Xie Yujiao nodded, thinking that before her daughter got married, she had to rely on her natal brother to be good, but now seeing an uncle supporting her, it really feels different!

It wasn't long before Xu Yuxing left, and sure enough, a little maid came back and forth, only saying that the second old man had invited his wife and girl over to the tea shed ahead.As soon as Xie Yujiao heard it, she knew it must be because of her son's affairs, so Xu only frowned and said, "I won't go..."

The little maid was about to go back to answer, when Xie Yujiao hurriedly stopped her and said, "Just say we'll be there in a while."

Clutching her chest, Xu said, "I feel uncomfortable seeing them."

Xie Yujiaosu knew that Mrs. Xu had been doted on by Mr. Xie these years, but she was still the same as before, with some young ladies' temper, so she smiled and persuaded: "Mother, come with me, the magistrate of the county is here today! The mother must be present, the county magistrate must be present, and the elders of the clan must be present, so everyone has made a final decision, and their thoughts will be resolved in the future."

Mrs. Xu made some sense, so she reluctantly said, "Then I'll go and listen."

Xie Yujiao helped Mrs. Xu to the county magistrate's shed. Several old people from the Xie family had already sat around.Xie Yujiao supported Xu Shi to the second position on the bottom, while she stood behind Xu Shi.

Seeing that everyone was here, the second old master said: "It is reasonable for this matter to be discussed in the Xie family's ancestral hall, but it happens that the magistrate of the county is here today, so I will ask him to be a witness to confirm this matter." .”

At this time, people were surrounded inside and outside the shed, and everyone wanted to see the Xie family's excitement this time, and no one seemed to want to leave. Seeing the crowd, Xie Yujiao was not afraid, and she still had a slight smile on her face. , this effect is what we want.

Kang Guangshou didn't know what was going on at first, and it was only after the second old man said that he realized it. It's just that he didn't know the reason, and thought that the Xie family had already selected a candidate for the heir, but he was asked to be a witness, so he agreed. , just sitting there, the second old man continued.

"Yun Jing is the most promising person among our juniors. I originally reserved the position of patriarch for him, but I didn't expect him to walk ahead of us now. As the elder of the Xie family, his uncle, the patriarch of the Xie family , I have to come out to speak now, this Yun Jing can't have no heirs, the Xie family can't have an heir, nephew and daughter-in-law, and now the county magistrate is here, you can tell me exactly when Yun Jing will be allowed to give Gao Xiang to his descendants Woolen cloth?"

Mrs. Xu was taken aback by the second old lady's question, but when she was about to answer, Xie Yujiao who was standing behind only patted her shoulder, walked out and said, "Second uncle, don't you invite us over today? , we still want to invite you to come here! As you said, the Xie family cannot live without descendants, and the legacy left by our ancestors cannot be lost in our hands. My mother and I thought about it day and night, and finally came up with a plan that has the best of both worlds. Find a way."

As Xie Yujiao said, she turned around, with a wise smile on her face, her eyes were bright and sharp, and she glanced at the sitting elders and relatives who were jealous of their money, and said with a smile: "I plan to wait for three years of filial piety. , just recruit a son-in-law, and my son will be named Xie in the future, and the Xie family's foundation will be preserved."

The second old man originally thought that the two of them would agree with him, so he just took a sip of the tea cup and happily waited for an answer, but Xie Yujiao paused for a moment, then changed the subject suddenly, and even said that he wanted to recruit a son-in-law.The second master couldn't swallow a sip of tea, he just stuck it in his throat, his cheeks flushed from holding back, he lowered his head and coughed vigorously.

"You...you said...what? You want to recruit a son-in-law?" Hearing this, everyone present turned green, except Kang Guangshou, who stood on the table and smiled at everyone with a bit of admiration. Xie Yujiao.

Seeing everyone's surprise, Xie Yujiao deliberately pretended to be confused, and asked Kang Guangshou, "Master Kang, according to Dayong's regulations, if I recruit a son-in-law and give birth to a son, will I be considered a descendant of the Xie family? Can I inherit the ancestral business of the Xie family?" ?"

Although there are not many recruited son-in-laws in this world, there is indeed such a rule in Dayong's regulations. As long as the man is willing to step in and become the son-in-law, the heirs will take the woman's surname, and the woman's family property will be inherited by the two heirs.

"There is indeed such a thing. Miss Xie is right." Looking at the faces of the relatives and elders, Kang Guangshou finally understood. The best way is to not only keep the family business, but also serve my mother at home until she dies, so I will admire you."

Seeing that Kang Guangshou hadn't met yet, Xie Yujiao felt a little grateful in her heart, and deliberately put on a serious expression on her face, and said, "Master Kang is ridiculous."

The people of the uncle generation here all looked depressed, and they still thought to themselves, could it be that the two of them were in collusion?
At this time, Xie Yujiao's servant girl, Xi Que, hurried over and said anxiously: "Madam, Miss, it's not good, Aunt Shen fainted!"
