After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yan Qingqing and the other three were all smiling from behind when they saw that Li Xiangping and Li Xiangan were running away.

Yan Qingqing No matter what they think, the long-term family rules that a family wants to develop must be correct and have something unexpected and shocking.

Even though those rules may seem inhumane, they are profound when you look closely.

Yan Qingqing has already decided on the family rules, and there is no room for maneuver.

Later, Li Sanniu and Mrs. Xu heard about this and ran over excitedly to have a look. They are said to be a family and they should abide by it.

Yan Qingqing looked at the two of them and said helplessly: "Third brother, younger brother and sister, we have separated our families, you don't have to abide by it.

In fact, I mainly set these rules for a few children.

No rule can be applied forever. If there is any inappropriateness, the future head of the family can modify it as appropriate. "

After hearing this, Li Sanniu said: "Second sister-in-law, although our families have separated, I will always be a part of the Li family.

I don't have much ability, but I know that the rules set by my second sister-in-law will definitely help the Li family go further.

So no matter what kind of rules I am willing to abide by.

I can't control the eldest brother's side, but our third brother-in-law is willing to follow the second sister-in-law's side. "

Seeing Li Sanniu's frankness, Yan Qingqing asked Ruyi to get the family rules.

In order to manage the workshop, Li Sanniu has actually worked hard behind the scenes in the past two years.

In the past, Li Sanniu could not read a single Chinese character, but now he is not only literate, he can even do accounting without much problem.

Even Li Xiangan lamented that Li Sanniu was very clever.

After Li Sanniu took it, he looked at it carefully, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

The rules of his second sister-in-law's family are indeed different.

Yan Qingqing saw this and said, "If even Third Brother himself can't accept it, it's better not to force it.

Since this is a family rule, it must be observed from generation to generation. As the elders, we must set an example for them. "

Hearing this, Li Sanniu quickly replied: "Second sister-in-law, I either think this family rule is bad, or I feel sad that I don't have a daughter."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu twisted Li Sanniu's ears and said, "Well, Li Sanniu, are you lamenting that you don't have a daughter, or do you think it's a pity that you can't have a concubine?

What a pity. It is clearly written in the family rules that a man can only take a concubine when he is forty years old and has no children.

Although my stomach is not up to expectations, I have given you a son, and you have no hope in this life.

If you dare to raise an outsider, that would be even more serious, but you will be kicked out of the house. "

Li Sanniu covered his ears and explained: "Conscience of heaven and earth, I don't mean that, I just think the rules of the second sister-in-law's family are good.

If we have a daughter, we can definitely support her.

Don't let her suffer any injustice at her husband's house. "

Mrs. Xu is good at everything else, but she can't mention her children.

Having only one child, Li Xiangbao, in this life is a hurdle that the Xu family has never been able to overcome. There is no way anyone can make the ancients think that having more children is a blessing.

Yan Qingqing looked at Mrs. Xu's appearance and thought to herself that it was fortunate that Mrs. Xu still had Li Xiangbao, and the child was up to par. If Mrs. Xu really didn't have a child, she would probably be in trouble.

Yan Qingqing was afraid that the two of them would argue again because of this matter, so she quickly comforted her and said: "It's okay, brother and sister, the third brother didn't mean this either.

With a son as good as Xiang Bao, what do you have to be afraid of? "

Mrs. Xu calmed down after hearing this. She felt that her reaction was a bit too much. She said with some embarrassment: "I really made my second sister-in-law laugh. This is my problem. I can't bear to hear others say that I have few children."

Yan Qingqing coughed and said: "To be honest, my siblings should not be angry. In fact, if my siblings want to have more children, this family rule may not be applicable.

After all, you only have one child, Xiang Bao.

If the younger siblings are unable to have a grandson for a long time, they may be anxious and find it difficult to wait until Xiang Bao is 40 before taking a concubine. "

Yan Qingqing thought very clearly that although she could restrain several of her sons from taking concubines, she could not restrain everyone.

In this era, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines.

However, Xu's words made Yan Qingqing look at her with admiration.

Mrs. Xu said: "The reason why family rules are family rules must be strict in some way.

Although I hope to have many children and grandchildren, I am not an ignorant person.

As far as this rule against taking concubines is concerned, there are many benefits.

I'm not afraid of the second sister-in-law's jokes. Sanniu and I don't have much ability, but most girls still look down on us.

I thought that if I could marry him a girl with a slightly higher family status, it would be a great help to my grandson in the future.

But how can a girl with a higher family background know that we are from a wealthy family?

But with this provision, it is not necessarily the case.

Moreover, as a woman, she does not want her husband to take a concubine, so how could her daughter-in-law do so?

They are all women, why bother women.

Furthermore, although I have never gotten along with concubines, I also know that those concubines are all charming people.

If this man is deceived by them, if he gives birth to a child in the future, the house will be a mess and the backyard will be uneasy, how can this man still work hard outside with peace of mind. "

Seeing that Xu had thought so thoroughly, Yan Qingqing did not dissuade her any more. Of course, these family rules also laid the foundation for the continued growth of the Li family in later generations.

In the blink of an eye, the days entered August, and Yan Qingqing estimated that Li Xiangkang had already entered the examination room.

Yan Qingqing, who never believed in gods and Buddhas, burned incense for the first time.

Ruyi helped Yan Qingqing up and said with a smile: "Madam is so pious, the fourth young master will definitely pass the exam."

Yan Qingqing felt a little ashamed when she heard this. She was obviously doing this temporarily, and she didn't know if the Buddha could feel her sincerity.

At the same time, in the palace, the emperor looked at Li Xiangping's memorial and twitched the corner of his mouth.

This word is really difficult to describe. In all the years he has been the emperor, no one has ever dared to write such a word and submit it to his imperial record.

It took a lot of effort for him to understand what the book meant.

However, the emperor was very happy to see this content. There are indeed many ways to do this kind of land. He never thought that this fertilizer could be made.

Their Great Yan Dynasty is indeed full of talented people.

The emperor looked at Li Xiangping's name and felt it was familiar, but he couldn't remember who Li Xiangping was.

He opened his mouth and asked Duke Xiang on the side: "Who is this Li Xiangping? Why do I think this name is so familiar to me?"

Eunuch Xiang smiled at the side and said: "Your Majesty really has a good memory. This is the eldest son of Ming Zhaoshuo. He is a agricultural officer who was appointed by your Majesty yourself."

Only then did the emperor remember that when Yan Qingqing was conferred the title, because she was a widow and he sympathized with her difficulty in raising several children, he made her eldest son a farm officer. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a man who could do practical things.

The emperor looked at the date of the report again, frowned and asked: "How come such a big thing has been reported? This is Ling Ziyuan's urgent report for eight hundred miles."

Logically speaking, this report should have been submitted long ago.

After hearing this, Eunuch Xiang hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
