Qin Lao Liu led Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu into his room, leaned on the soft couch, his breath was a little confused, obviously the short journey made him exhausted.

However, he was in good spirits, staring at Gu Jingyun with turbid eyes and said: "You are very similar to your great-grandfather. You were the teacher of the prince when you were young, and it is only a matter of time before you become the teacher of the emperor. The Gu family is so benevolent and unjust, why bother?" Still bearing their surnames? You are also the blood of my Qin family, and Junde personally brought you up, so it is not an exaggeration to say that you are from the Qin family."

Qin Laoliu said in a low voice: "In fact, shortly after you were born, I proposed to adopt you to the Qin family's direct branch, but it's a pity that your uncle was guilty at that time, and adopting you will only make you suffer. This matter is only temporary. Suppression. But who among the old friends doesn't know that you are the descendant of the Qin family's direct branch? After you return to Beijing, do everyone only recognize you as the representative of the Qin family?"

"It is indeed thanks to my uncle," Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "If the sixth uncle mentioned this before, my mother and I would agree, but now that the uncle and aunt have flesh and blood, and the direct line of the Qin family has its own cousin to pass it on. Jing Yun will never refuse to use something that is useful to Jing Yun."

Qin Laoliu said dejectedly: "But she is a girl, and the other side will not recognize her."

The smile on Gu Jingyun's face was faint, and he said: "Uncle Six is ​​worrying too much, I think uncle will help my cousin make arrangements."

"The direct branch's control over the Qin family is no longer as good as it used to be," Qin Lao Liu said in a low voice, "Junde has been away for fifteen years after all, and the affairs of the clan have been controlled by the second wife for the past fifteen years. They even dared to invade the main house." What are you afraid of in private? How old is Junde’s daughter this year? It’s still unknown what she will look like in the future. How can you expect her to be the head of the family? Qinghe, while your uncle is still young and vigorous, and you are simple It would be good to implement the matter of adoption in the emperor's heart."

Gu Jingyun just smiled, changed the subject and said: "Sixth uncle, don't worry, you just need to take care of your health. These uncles know it well. When you are in good health, let the nephews take you to the old place in the capital for a revisit. The Shiqin Mansion has also been taken care of, and I will ask your niece and daughter-in-law to tidy up the yard you used to live in, so you can live in it as soon as you go, and it will be the same as before."

Qin Laoliu was disappointed in his heart, and sighed wistfully: "How could it be the same? The old man is no longer here, and I'm afraid even things have changed."

He really wanted Gu Jingyun to inherit the Qin family, because now the families and the direct branches have already passed through five clothes, and the blood relationship is weak, that is, because of the same clan, there is a trace of affection. If you want to adopt one of the side branches to the direct branch, the direct branch will suffer too much.

After all, Gu Jingyun is the closest blood relative to Qin Xinfang except for his two-year-old daughter.

And Gu Jingyun is a man, this alone is more legitimate than Niu Niu.

What's more, the proposal of adopting Gu Jingyun has been proposed for a long time, but it has been pending because of Qin Xinfang's guilt.

He knew that he had a problem with his brain, so he wanted to help them while he was still alive and his mind was still clear. His seniority and prestige were here. If he stood by Gu Jingyun's side, he could at least help him Gather the support of several homeowners.

It's a pity that Gu Jingyun didn't seem to have any intention of adopting, Qin Lao Liu was very disappointed.

Of course, Gu Jingyun had no intention of adopting. If it was before Niuniu was born, of course it would be the best to adopt to the Qin family to inherit the Qin family. Not only would it be able to inherit the blood of the Qin family's direct branch, but it would also be very beneficial to himself.

But now that his uncle and aunt have Niu Niu, what will become of him adopting that Niu Niu?

He never felt that there was anything wrong with being a woman. Could it be that just because she was a woman, Niuniu could not inherit her uncle's family property and bloodline?

Both are the blood and blood of their parents, sons and daughters are also born and brought up in the same way, why should the family business be handed over to a side branch just because the uncle only has one daughter?

Gu Jingyun will not adopt, but also does not allow anyone to covet the property of the Qin family's direct branch, it all belongs to Niu Niu!

Gu Jingyun stayed in the sixth room for nearly two hours, and returned to the main house with Li Baolu after Qin Lao Liu fell asleep.

Knowing how long the two stayed in the sixth room, how many people in the Qin family suffered from insomnia all night, and Jiang couldn't sleep at all. She couldn't help but pushed her husband and said, "Uncle Jiu really wants to adopt Gu Jingyun?"

"He never told me." Qin Chengyu closed his eyes and said, "But now that he has a daughter, he probably won't bring it up again."

Jiang frowned, "Look at Sixth Uncle's attitude today, he supports Gu Jingyun's adoption."

Qin Chengyu turned over, turned his back to her and said, "It doesn't matter what Uncle Six said about this matter, and it doesn't matter what we say. The key depends on Uncle Jiu's attitude. If he wants to adopt Gu Jingyun, we can't stop him. If he doesn't want to Adoption, no one can force him."

The direct branch has the absolute right to speak in the Qin family.

However, the Jiang family was aroused by the position of the patriarch's wife for the past fifteen years. She whispered: "But Uncle Jiu hasn't come back for fifteen years. You have been working hard for the clan all these years. As long as you open your mouth, you will come back again." Talk to your uncles..."

Qin Chengyu suddenly turned over and stared at her, and lowered his voice to warn: "Don't say these words again, do you think you can force Uncle Jiu to submit? You have no place to cry when Uncle Jiu goes out if you make him anxious."

He said sharply: "I'm telling you, it's best not to move these thoughts. We don't care about those three melons and two dates Jiushu, so he doesn't care. But if you make him anxious, don't even think about it. .”

Jiang Shi was taken aback, and didn't understand why Qin Chengyu lost his temper suddenly. Could it be that she was the only one plotting against his descendants?

Didn't he also agree to let the fifth child live in the main house, thinking that in a few years, they will all move in and take the direct branch instead?

And the other offshoots did not rob the things and fields left by the direct ones a few years ago, so how did she become the only one who provokes Ji Jiushu?

That's all the property of the direct branch, wouldn't that make him anxious? If she and the second room were calculated in this way, she would definitely kill her. Even if she didn't fight to the death, at least it wouldn't make people feel better.

So isn't it easy for them to win over allies? Jiang's face was full of bewilderment.

Qin Chengyu suddenly lost his sleepiness, got up with a sullen face and dragged his shoes to the study.

His wife is ignorant, but he is very clear in his heart that the direct branch has always paid little attention to money, no matter whether he is planning to live in the main house and replace the direct branch, or the clan divides the direct branch's land and property, these are all in Qin Xinfang's hands. When she was exiled, these things no longer belonged to Qin Xinfang in name.

So he won't mind.

What the direct branch has always valued the most is people - family members!

When it comes to calculating wealth, the direct branch may still be lenient, but the planner will touch the back of the direct branch, and he will die in an unsightly way.

Even if the direct branch loses control for fifteen years, its prestige in the Qin family is still as heavy as a mountain. Didn't you see that everyone sent back the land deeds and various belongings they took when they saw Gu Jingyun living in the main house?

The prestige of the direct branch is based on blood, and any house owner who is familiar with the history of the Qin family will not want to repeat the history.

Why is the Qin family's descendants difficult and their lifespan not long?

In the final analysis, it is all a by-product.

Counting from Qin Xinfang's generation to the fifth generation, at that time the direct branch of the Qin family did not have the tradition of marrying only one wife throughout their lives. Although there were not many concubines as a farming and studying family, two or three were common.

People like them have a clear distinction between the concubine and the concubine, and they will not suppress the concubine, but they will not spoil the concubine and kill the wife, let alone discriminate between the concubine and the concubine.

And they are a farming and studying family, and their fame depends entirely on their own efforts, and there is no competition for profits from the honorable family, so the brothers and sisters get along pretty well.

But there was a strange thing among his ancestors, who even ran to plot against his elder brother who was born in the first place. That's right, his sixth generation of ancestors came from the same lineage as the direct branch, and they were born in the same line!

"The Qin family has been passed down for more than 800 years, and there are four divisions recorded in the genealogy. Three times are due to wars, and one is due to family infighting. According to the genealogy, the second family and the direct branch are the closest by blood. The first fifth generation is brothers from the same father." Back in the guest room, after dismissing Ziluo and Zishan, Gu Jingyun explained to Li Baolu the relationship between the various houses in the Qin family, so that she would not be made things difficult for her when she went out to meet the guests tomorrow. .

This is actually Qin's secret and scandal. Gu Jingyun didn't want to tell her, but who made Qin Laoliu hint at the topic of adoption in public?

Tomorrow Baolu must be the center of spectators and even targeting.

"At that time, there were only two brothers in the direct branch, a direct descendant and a concubine. In the Qin family, the heirs were considered thin. Fortunately, the two brothers were in good health. Although the old ancestor was disappointed, he did his best to raise the two sons," Gu Jingyun said. Dao: "The family of farming and studying is different from the family of nobles. They don't rely on favors to become officials, they rely entirely on their own examinations, so there are very few conflicts between the sons and daughters. If they get along well, they can help each other. Even if there are some rifts between brothers, Most of them can also focus on the overall situation. There may be conflicts, but they will not mess around in front of the interests of the family. For example, the current third cousin and third cousin sister-in-law must really want to continue to hold the position of patriarch. Infringe on their vested interests, but you can see that most of them are still happy about their uncle's redress. Because for Qin, the benefits of his uncle's redress far outweigh the disadvantages."

Li Baolu nodded, "This is the foundation and heart."

Gu Jingyun nodded, "That's why my ancestors were furious when they knew that the concubine had murdered his first brother in disregard of righteousness. At that time, the two brothers were not much different in age, and they even went to school together. The first brother. The body of the great-great-great-great-great-grandfather weakened rapidly after getting married, and he had nothing to do for five years, and at that time his concubine not only gave birth to the eldest son, but even the second son was two years old."

"At that time, the side branch was going to be stronger than the direct branch, and the resources of the entire family were in the hands of the direct branch. Fight for the position of patriarch. If the position of patriarch is really taken away by the side branch, it will be difficult for the direct branch to get it back. At that time, the ancestors had two options. become the heir; the second is to hand over the position of patriarch directly to the bastard to avoid being taken by the offspring, but no matter which one, the legitimate son will be given up."

"The old ancestors were not willing to let the outstanding son-in-law be so useless, so he took him to the capital, sacrificed his old face and went to the palace to seek sainthood, and asked the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital at that time to consult with the son-in-law and take care of his body, but the results of the discussion by the imperial doctors were not good. It's not a disease, it's poison, and it's an extremely vicious chronic poison." Gu Jingyun thought of his uncle and his body, and said sadly: "At that time, the poison had penetrated into the bones and blood, and it was impossible to detoxify. The imperial doctors can only relieve one or two."

"Will the poison be passed on to the heirs?" Li Baolu also thought of the point that the fifth generation of Qin's direct branch was passed on alone.
