The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 95

Although it can't be said that it played a decisive role, at least Baochai's words can still push Lin Ruhai to make a decision as soon as possible.

Originally, it was also for the sake of her daughter's future life. Now that her daughter is willing to face difficulties, although Lin Ruhai still feels distressed, she finally decided to follow Baochai's wishes.

Compared with men, women always love their children stronger. When Baochai came to Jia Min, it was naturally another story.

"It's not necessarily a lifetime thing. When I have a child in the future, I will adopt the child under the name of my younger brother so that he will not become an orphan, and then I will return to the clan with my husband. It will only take a few years. This is all My husband's family background may not be high, so naturally I have to live my life along with me, and I will never be sad. I have always changed from time to time, and from time to time. If I marry, I will beg for the adoption children to come back, and the first one or two Male heirs can’t live forever, even if it goes smoothly, it will be the Lin family’s turn to have a son after five, six, seven or eight years, and everyone has to remember for the rest of their lives that I robbed the husband’s child and returned to her mother’s family. From the very beginning, I recruited a new family. Although there may have been a lot of gossip in the first few years, when I raise an heir to the Lin family, it is our family's grace to allow my husband and son-in-law to return to the clan. I can only be grateful, and it can't be worth one or two. People outside the year have forgotten that I was originally from a female family, and I have to work hard all my life, and I have to work hard for the first few years, and it is not obvious which path to choose.” Baochai may not understand the difficulties of female families. , but thinking back at that time, there would always be parents to support her at home. Life might not be much more difficult than getting along with strangers outside. She herself is not soft-tempered. It's better to hold things in your own hands.

Lin Ruhai may not have thought of this at the beginning, but he was worried that the son-in-law he recruited would not be of good character, and he was also worried that Baochai might not be blessed with many children. It would be better to just let the son-in-law attach himself to his family for the rest of his life.

Unlike Lin Ruhai, Jia Min actually didn't know how powerful the Lin family's single lineage tradition was, and she wasn't worried about Baochai's future childbearing problems—she gave birth late because she was born late, The Lin family's filial piety delayed the best time for childbearing.And Baochai looked round and healthy, and never worried about childbearing.

Regardless of Jia Min's natal parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, she should not be unfavorable to her offspring. Even though her concubine sisters were not born early, they all left one or more sons to her husband's family. Although Min herself failed to raise a son, after all, she gave birth and raised her son twice.It can be seen from this that as long as there is no delay in the middle, Baochai should not be incapable of giving birth.

Although it was only a possibility of speculation, Baochai also spoke according to the most ideal possibility, but after all, it seemed that he could see a little future, which still made Jia Min feel a little relieved.

----split line----

Although it is not absolute, most of the time when parents and children have conflicting opinions, it is not the children who are the first to compromise.

Although Jia Min still felt a bit shocking when he said it to the female household, now that both Lin Ruhai and Baochai have made up their minds, Jia Min naturally wouldn't say too much, at most he would just silently support her in her heart. The daughter is just sad.

Lin Ruhai's actions were quick, or Baochai's incitement was effective. Before Jia Min could figure out how to spread the news, Lin Ruhai went directly to the palace to prepare for Baochai's affairs in front of Shengjia. The case can be regarded as a guarantee for Baochai.

"The Lin family has been loyal and good for generations and has been passed down from generation to generation. Only the minister is incompetent. He has not been able to raise a male heir, but only raised a daughter. None of the fathers and ancestors in the family of the minister live long, and the minister feels that even if he can get another son, it may not be possible. When she grows up, she only wants to bring her only daughter into the family. If she is lucky enough to have a male grandson, it will not make the Lin family lose their respect, and they will not lose face to see their ancestors in the future." Lin Ruhai has taken a draught from the bottom of the pot, left and right The Lin family is not a small family in the countryside, and many people pay attention to their words and deeds, so they can't hide anything easily, so it's better to make their momentum bigger.Thinking about it, no matter how difficult it is for a female household to gain a foothold, no one would dare to gossip about anyone who files a case in front of the Holy Master.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, if Baochai can give birth to the heir of the Lin family early, that's all, otherwise it will be unavoidable to be ridiculed for such a mobilizing teacher.

The Holy Majesty has been sitting on the throne for many years, not only Lin Ruhai, but Lin Ruhai's father and ancestor Lin Houye were also very useful courtiers of the Holy Majesty.

From the founding of the dynasty to the present, the Lin family has had four or five generations of inheritance, all of which have been passed on in a single line. When it came to Lin Ruhai's generation, they only raised one girl, and even had no heirs. The point where offshoot males can inherit the family business.

According to the rules of this dynasty, if there is no male heir in the family, unless the offspring of the same surname are adopted, the family property should be turned over to the state treasury after the death of the head of the family—if there are still unmarried girls in the family, half of the family property can be inherited as a dowry according to law If the daughter has been married, she can only get a quarter of the property, and the rest will still belong to the state treasury.

Of course, most families with only one daughter will choose to give the entire family property to their daughter as a dowry.

Or, like Lin Ruhai, recruiting a daughter for her daughter to be an independent female household. In this way, as long as Baochai can give birth to a boy from the Lin family, the Lin family will not be considered extinct.

In fact, there are not many female households in the large households of the Gaomen. One reason is that the Gaomen families have a strong sense of clan, and they think that female households are not good after all.In addition, after the establishment of a female household, the girl failed to give birth to a child. As long as she is still alive as the head of the household, there is nothing to turn over the family property. Such an opportunity to earn money.

This kind of rejection by both the clan and the government made the existence of female households extremely rare.

From this point of view, the Lin family was not completely unlucky.Although Lin Ruhai himself doesn't mind adopting children if possible, but anyway, the Lin family is very weak, and the only one or two distant relatives don't have the confidence to make irresponsible remarks to Lin Ruhai.

As for the hurdles of the government... As the Holy Majesty got older, he naturally became more merciful, and he couldn't do anything that would chill the hearts of veterans for no reason.Therefore, on the one hand, it was for the affection of several generations of loyal ministers of the Lin family, and on the other hand, the Holy Majesty was in an extremely wealthy position, so he would not have any covetousness on the Lin family's property.Moreover, the reason why the Lin family eliminated Ding Hu was probably related to another favored courtier of his, the Zhen family. He suppressed Lin Ruhai's dissatisfaction for the sake of the face of the old lady of the Zhen family. If there is a rift between the Lin family, then they feel guilty towards the Lin family.

There are advantages and disadvantages for things to be filed in front of the Holy Father.Naturally, there is no need to say more about the benefits, as long as the Holy One nods slightly, no one can question the Lin family's affairs too much.As for the disadvantages, if Baochai suddenly regretted not wanting to recruit a wife and just wanted to get married before, that’s all. It's impossible to recruit.

Although he knew this was the best way intellectually, but emotionally, Lin Ruhai felt apologetic to his daughter because of his small thoughts, and now he pampered his daughter even more at home.

----split line----

If it is said that Jia Min was reluctant to spread the news about the family's desire to establish a female household before, it is more or less selfish.As a man, Lin Ruhai was naturally concerned about the inheritance of the Lin family. Although Jia Min also loved her husband, she still wanted to give her daughter a normal life.

However, since the matter has alarmed the higher authorities, there is no way to retreat. Jia Min's actions are considered quick. Although there are no major actions to be seen, in short, after a few days, many people who are familiar with the Lin family know about it. Lin Ruhai's plan was confirmed.

Although things were sudden, it was not incomprehensible.

Different from what was expected at the beginning, even though some gossips are indispensable, no one will point the finger at Baochai, and even have more sympathy for Lin Ruhai.

The Lin family has been single-handed for several generations, and almost every generation can only have one child.After hundreds of years of this incident, most people will doubt whether it is a genetically unfavorable offspring of the Lin family based on science.But in these days, the inability to have a son is mostly blamed on women.

After all, the existence of Baochai has proved that Lin Ruhai is not incapable of having children, so the guilt is naturally on Jia Min, because everyone only thinks that Jia Min is unable to bear children himself and Lin Ruhai is not allowed to take concubines to have children.

Although for women, reputation has always been the most important thing, but if the Lin family has no opinion, it doesn't matter if other people have some opinions.

Especially for Jia Min, although those gossips are definitely not pleasant, but when she is hurt by words and her daughter is hurt by rumors, she will choose the former without hesitation.

As the parties concerned, the whole family of the Lin family reached a consensus on this matter early on, so it is naturally very calm at the moment.And even if other people talk about it occasionally, it still has nothing to do with them, just a few gossips.

On the other hand, the Jia family still had no news as usual. After the news of the Lin family spread all over the sky, the Jia family finally heard about it.When Mother Jia heard what she said, her eyes went dark, and she hurriedly asked the butler to go to Lin's house to call Jia Min over.
