Patriarch Xia's biggest headache was the problem of the house. Of the three fields, the largest one was in his hands, and the other was in Xu Lichang's hands. As soon as they entered the city gate today, the servants of the Xu family held a box in their hands. They stopped at the gate of the city, and inside was the land deed they reissued later.

As soon as he got the box, Patriarch Xia understood what Xu Lichang meant. He had returned the land, but the so-called rented son definitely didn't exist. Not only did Xu Lichang not have it, but he also wouldn't take out too much. After all, it is something that has already been eaten in the stomach, and it is too uncomfortable to spit it out.

These two fields are very easy, only the other field, the half of which is used as a sacrifice field is not enough, the half that has been distributed to each household, it is too difficult to get it back.

In addition, there is also the mansion currently occupied by Xia Yi.

They're not very talented people, but they can't stand their crowds, and people are mixed up. Even if he is the patriarch, he can talk about it in the clan, and it's impossible for them to spit things out.

Patriarch Xia didn't want Zhou Man to see the jokes of the Xia clan, and he didn't want to tear his face with the clan, but seeing that she didn't mention anything else, he just mentioned the house, and he could only say stiffly, "Miss, your parents back then. We haven't heard from you for a long time, we all thought..."

He sighed and said: "According to the rules of the patriarch, your family's property, especially the house, should be reserved for the house closest to your grandfather. After all, Xia Yi is still your cousin. The same ancestor."

It was her mother's great ancestor, several generations had passed, so it was impossible for the cousin, but Man Bao didn't speak, and the smile on his face withdrew.

Patriarch Xia's face softened slightly, and said, "After all, the family has lived in the house for twelve years, and they are very affectionate. Do you want to live here in the future, or not? I mean, it's better to let them If you lose money, it will be like buying the house."

Seeing that Man Bao's face was not worried, he said: "Of course, there is no other way, you change your surname and go back to the genealogy, even if you support your grandfather's family, that house is your grandfather's relic. , the clan is naturally on your side to get it back for you."

Magistrate Zhai, who was sitting at the top, raised his teacup and drank tea. He lowered his eyes and said to himself: If he really came, he just said, how could it be so harmonious?

Man Bao withdrew his hand from Patriarch Xia, sat on a chair, and smiled with Patriarch Xia: "I don't plan to change my surname."

Patriarch Xia frowned, "Your father is married, so you should be Xia."

"I didn't let her change her surname," Qian said suddenly, who had been sitting quietly, "She was made big by me with shit and urine. When she first arrived at our house, she couldn't even eat much. I took great pains to pull her up, and even took the whole family's life to save her, now she wants to change her surname and leave home when she grows up, don't even think about it."

Patriarch Xia was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "My in-laws misunderstood. Although we asked her to change her surname, we have no intention of letting her leave you."

Qian snorted coldly: "The surname is different, doesn't that mean you left?"

Xia Xia sighed in his heart, and seeing that Old Zhou Tou still didn't say a word, he knew that this matter would be over in the end.

Patriarch Xia chatted with her, "But Zhou Yin is in the family."

"I didn't say that he wasn't married, it's written on your genealogy, and I didn't let you change it," Qian said, "but Zhou Man's parents are still me and her father. It's not easy for us to pull her up, she can't help but Repay your kindness."

Patriarch Xia said with an ugly face: "What about Shengen? My Yandi has only her bloodline."

"We also thought of this," Qian said, "We are not rude people. Although I have never met my father-in-law, he is a good person who can take in Zhou Yin. Naturally, we do not want to let him die. So we have discussed with Man Bao's great mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and the children they have in the future, the second child after the eldest son, will take the surname of Xia, and it will be considered as the heir of the in-laws."

Patriarch Xia did not expect this operation, and his eyes widened for a while, before he found something to say, "If you want me to say, the eldest lady is still young, so there is no need to get married so early, when you grow up, recruit from relatives. If you come to the door, you will have a few more children, and Yandi's family will flourish, and maybe two children will be freed up to follow Zhou Yin's surname."

Man Bao sat on the side feeling uncomfortable, was she treating her like a pig?

She glanced at Bai Shan, who coughed lightly, put down the teacup, and said, "Patriarch Xia, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and grandfather Xia are all faithful, so it's not good to break promises in front of me?"

Patriarch Xia talked so much that he forgot Bai Shan's identity for a while, mainly because he was still unfamiliar, and there were many people from the Zhou family, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Bai Shan glanced at Daji.

Daji took a step forward and said with a blank face: "Patriarch Xia, my young master was born in the Bai clan of Longzhou, and has been an official in the court since the time of the young emperor. Is his family background not worthy of Miss Man, or is he not worthy of appearance?"

Man Bao and Bai Erlang turned their heads to look at Bai Shan. Bai Shan didn't say much on his face, just lowered his eyes and slid the cup.

The head of the Xia clan leader is a bit big, which emperor is the young emperor?

The magistrate of Zhai County kindly helped him popularize science, "Emperor Shao is the Shao Emperor of the Han Dynasty. It is rare for the Bai family to get up in times of trouble."

However, during the Han Dynasty, officials were basically selected for the quality of life. If Bai was selected, at least his family background was not small, and he was regarded as a well-known local squire.

And Han Shaodi has at least 400 years of history. After 400 years of ups and downs, after three major turbulent times, countless minor chaos can still exist. No wonder it is recorded in the clan annals.

Daji continued: "Let's not talk about family background and appearance, just talk about character and talent. Our young master is now a student of Chongwenguan, accompanied by the prince, and he has already entered office with half a foot when he was only fifteen years old. Look around, can you find someone better than our young master?"

He added: "Let's not talk about our young master, just talk about Miss Man. She is now a sixth-grade imperial physician and a fifth-grade editor. What kind of person is worthy of her?"

Man Bao nodded.

Qian said, "If you guys wronged my child for the sake of recruiting children, and let her choose someone to hire, I won't agree."

Patriarch Xia said with difficulty: "Yes, it's not casual."

Qian asked, "Is it as good as Bai Shan? Is the family background good? Although it is a recruit, the in-law's family is a serious in-law family, and there is always a relationship. Is the in-law family knowledgeable? Are people good? We don't ask for appearance, but character Talent should not be underestimated, we are so good at Manbao, if you don’t know big characters, or you have only read one or two articles like this, you shouldn’t.”

Old Zhou Tou nodded again and again, but couldn't help but interject: "We Man Bao have read a lot of books, and if there is a person who has not read a lot in the whole room, he can't talk to Man Bao, then he will live his life. What does it mean?"

The hearts of everyone in the Xia clan collapsed: Who is the one who has the ability to study and still come into the house?

Isn't it good to make money by taking the exam and becoming an official?
