Du Yu'an was so dumbfounded by the question that he couldn't answer for a moment.

Adoption is generally only done by those who have cut off their children and grandchildren. Although Du Yishan and his lineage have few heirs, they have not reached the point where they don't even have a son. It is ridiculous to mention this adoption.But he took a lot of money from Aunt Xu, even if he knew it was against the rules, he still had to bite the bullet and get it done.Firstly, to suppress Du Yishan's arrogance, and secondly, to show off his prestige in front of the clansmen - what is the Marquis?As long as the surname is Du, in front of him, the patriarch, he has to be obedient and obedient.

Du Yu'an put down the tea bowl and explained to Du Yishan.Breaking up the words in detail, the general idea is that Aunt Xu is getting old, and she feels lonely without a son and a half girl, so she wants to adopt a child by her side to relieve her loneliness.

Du Yishan listened quietly, then turned around and asked Aunt Xu: "I don't know who Auntie wants to adopt?"

Aunt Xu stared at Du Yishan closely, and seeing that there was no anger on his face, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and became more courageous, and replied with a smile: "The children of other people's families are like treasures, who would recognize an aunt as a son. I think After a few days, seeking distance is worse than seeking proximity. My natal nephew is just fine. The young master must have met him. He is the son of Manager Xu, who is in charge of the grain depot in our house. He is fourteen years old and is my nephew again. , as soon as I open my mouth, their family will definitely agree."

When Aunt Xu spoke, her eyebrows stretched, and two blushes of excitement appeared on her rouged old face.

Du Yishan couldn't be happy.

adopt?To put it nicely, he didn't come here for the Du family's property.Since it was adopted, it was impossible for this child to be adopted under Aunt Xu's name alone. It must be included in the genealogy of the Du family and recorded under his father's knee.If this is done, Aunt Xu will add a second young master to the Du family, and he will be an heir who has been approved by the patriarch and has entered the deed. Like Du Yishan, he has the same inheritance rights and inheritance rights. There is no need for this heir to fight for the family property of the government. It is justifiable that someone has a share, and even the government has to recognize it.

Aunt Xu opened her mouth and said that she wanted to adopt her own nephew, and the intention in this was even more of a lice on the bald man's head, which was obvious.

Just as Du Yishan was about to speak, Du Yu'an refused to agree, and scolded Aunt Xu with a straight face, "Your brother is just the steward of Du's mansion and a servant of the Du family, how can the master adopt a slave as his son? This is simply unreasonable! Mrs. Xu, because you gave birth to the first eldest grandson of the Du family, you were granted a license to raise your status, so that your mother was honored by the son, and her child was included in the Du family genealogy. You are already half the master. Now, why are you still entangled with those humble servants of your natal family, it's really mud that can't support the wall."

Aunt Xu's face turned red from being scolded, and she was angry and hated in her heart. It's okay not to mention this matter, but it made her teeth itch with hatred. She gave birth to the eldest son of the Du family, and was deeply loved by Du's father. The status in Li and Du Yishan's mother are basically the same, they are almost on the same level, but God didn't open his eyes and let her son die of smallpox, otherwise she would not have ended up in such a miserable state.

Aunt Xu didn't dare to refute, so she just nodded and said yes repeatedly.He said again: "What the patriarch taught me is that it is difficult for me as a half master to do things in the mansion. I have no control over the affairs of the mansion. The young master has not married a wife until now, and there is not even a shadow of an heir. In the mansion, there is only Our old aunts, apart from worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures every day, just look at the four walls and wait for the dark, what a pain."

He pulled out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, "I have nothing else to look forward to. Brother Ming died when he was only ten years old. I have no hope. I'm not afraid that the young master will annoy me, so I'll tell the truth. After I die, Can you still expect Eldest Young Master to give me a funeral like treating my own mother? No matter how polite he is, he is just following the etiquette of his aunt, how can he be like his own son. "

Speaking of this, Aunt Xu really felt sad, they are also miserable, who don't want to live a down-to-earth life, but who told them that their fate is bad, they are slaves after birth, if they don't fight for it, will it really take a lifetime Being manipulated to death, he didn't even have the most basic decency to be a human being.

Du Yu'an hated seeing his mother-in-law crying the most, his face was even more ugly, and he said angrily, "Okay!"

Aunt Xu stopped her tears and slowly put away the veil.She had turned her mind several times, and she smiled and said: "My nephew is smart and smart. When he was born, I asked the mistress to take off his lowly status. Although he is a white man now, he has also studied in the school for a few years. Come on, if you take a test for fame in the future, we will definitely not lose face to our Du family!"

Du Yu'an still disagreed, "That's not okay, even if he's not a slave, he's as good as a god, and he's not a descendant of our Du family. If you want to adopt him, you have to adopt him from our Du family's clan, otherwise, let's just leave it at that." , you don't have to come here to cry anymore, as the patriarch of the Du family, the most important thing is to ensure the purity of the blood, I will never allow another bastard with a different surname in the Du family!"

Aunt Xu ate her head and was holding her breath.

She has made a good plan, adopting her nephew, who is close and easy to control, and will share half of the Du family's property in the future, without leaving her as an aunt, it is really the most suitable and reliable.Unexpectedly, Du Yu'an, a stubborn old man, would not agree, took so much gold and silver for nothing, and refused to let go of even such a trivial matter, talking about blood relationship, blood relationship all day long, is Du's blood relationship so precious?

Dui smiled and begged again and again, but Du Yu'an refused to agree.It turned out that he already had a candidate in his heart, and he brought it up immediately. When everyone heard this, they all almost laughed angrily.What Du Yu'an mentioned was none other than his youngest grandson, who was just six years old this year.

Du Yu'an was full of voice and reason, "There is a saying in the laws of Chang'an: adoptive heirs should be separated from relatives to relatives, and the same character should be followed. My little grandson fits these two items. It's settled. Yishan, you go back today Just prepare incense and candle offerings, and tomorrow I will open the ancestral hall, call all the people of the clan, and officially let Yijun adopt the name of your family."

Aunt Xu was so angry that she cursed Du Yu'an for being so smart. She obviously proposed this matter, and she was not allowed to adopt her nephew. This old cunning actually wants her grandson to come to Du's house to cause trouble .

Isn't this leading the wolf into the house?Aunt Xu couldn't stop regretting, can this child kiss her, and feed her for nothing, and in the end, she may not even be able to get along well, what's the use of taking the family property, isn't it cheaper for Du Yu'an, an old ghost?

Aunt Xu was anxious, she really shot herself in the foot with a stone, she calculated everything carefully, but she didn't expect it to be destroyed in Du Yu'an's hands in the end, her heart ached and her liver hurt, she just handed Du Yu'an the gift list, but she saved After a few years, this old ghost took the money and didn't do anything. Instead, he swung it upside down and dealt her a heavy blow on the head.

Now that the words have been spoken, Du Yishan has also been invited, but things did not go according to Aunt Xu's original plan.Aunt Xu twisted her handkerchief anxiously, she wanted to agree, but she really couldn't bear it; if she wanted not to agree, she was afraid of offending the patriarch, and she would have no one to support her in the future.

Difficult twice, as if her heart was on fire, Aunt Xu calculated the importance, bowed her head and remained silent for a while, then gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, showing a little smile, nodded and agreed: "Sure, since the patriarch has spoken, I am not sorry." Listen, I'll go back and prepare, and I'll pick up Yijun tomorrow."

Only then was Du Yu'an satisfied. He was used to being domineering. He had been the patriarch for decades, and no one had ever dared to refute his decision. What he said was the same as the imperial decree in Du's village.

Satisfied, he picked up the tea, took a sip, and was about to taste it, but Du Yishan had already stood up, bowed to him, and said coldly: "I don't agree with the matter of adoption."

Du Yu'an didn't have the concept of discussing it in his mind at all, and he didn't intend to ask Du Yishan's opinion. He was only called to let him know, and in Du Yu'an's mind, it was enough to give Du Yishan face.This kid actually dared to say "he disagrees", and turned against him!

Du Yu'an put down the tea bowl heavily, and shouted: "Who asked your opinion? How can you object when the elders speak? I'll do as long as I say yes, and you don't have the right to speak!"

Aunt Xu also chimed in, "Yes, the patriarch has been decided, and the deed will be signed tomorrow, and it's useless if the young master objects."

Du Yishan was helpless and funny. Although the Du family was considered a big family, the family property in the mansion was actually not much, and he could not afford to share half of them to support these aunts.But Du Yishan hated people plotting against him the most in his life, and even more hated people pointing his nose and telling him to do so.It's easy to discuss and discuss. Du Yishan might just turn a blind eye and agree, but Du Yu'an and Aunt Xu have an arrogant attitude, as if they can do whatever they want, and they even make it clear that they want to team up to trick him. Wouldn't the drama have less ups and downs and less fun?

"Since my uncle is the patriarch of the Du family, he should be aware of the clear text in the family rules: for all the descendants of the Du family, those who have no children can have the same character Zhaomu inherit the clan. My father is not filial, and the number of heirs is thin. For many years, there is only one son in Yishan. Yishan I am not talented, and I have not married a wife when I am over thirty, but Yishan's uncle's family still has two sons. It's against the rules, isn't uncle and grandpa confused?"

When Du Yishan said something, it was like giving Du Yu'an a severe slap in the face in public. He is the head of the Du clan, and he eats the clan rules. He should have memorized them by heart.Du Yishan's words clearly said that he committed the crime knowingly, and for a little money, he didn't even want that old face.

Du Yu'an was flushed with embarrassment, hesitated for a while, and then said angrily: "The matter is urgent! I saw that Aunt Xu was alone, and she had given birth to Du's eldest son. She had a special status and was different from ordinary aunts, so I granted her permission Adopt a child next to me!"

Du Yishan chuckled, "Speaking of Aunt Xu, I forgot one thing, and I want to ask my uncle!"

Du Yu'an was so angry that his hair was about to stand on end, and seeing Du Yishan's slow-moving, unhurried look made his lungs explode with anger, and he asked angrily, "What's the matter?"

"Since ancient times, concubines have been used to buy and sell. Although Aunt Xu got rid of slavery, she is still a concubine. Since Chang'an Kingdom, it has never been heard that a concubine would adopt a son for a concubine. It is a joke. If it is spread, people will Everyone will say that the Du Clan does not distinguish between superiority and inferiority, doting on concubines and destroying wives, even disregarding the face of the head mother..."

Du Yishan turned around suddenly, stared at Aunt Xu, his eyes were frosty, "Are you worthy of raising a child? A concubine, even if you end up at the end, your identity is nothing more than a concubine. Only my mother has children in the Du family. Eligible to raise, even if you want to adopt, you should adopt under my mother's name, and be my Du Yishan's brother in an upright manner, instead of following your old aunt, who is not as good as you, ashamed!"

Aunt Xu was trembling with anger, and shouted sharply: "What's wrong with my concubine? Why can't I raise a child? My brother Ming is going to live, when will you be the head of the Du family? Oh, I can't live anymore, patriarch, listen Listen to what he said, this is still in front of you, he doesn't pay attention to me, if I go home, he will eat me? My lord, why did you die? Let me go, I'm dead...he's bullying me for losing my son..."
