There is a little husband in the home of crossing

In the morning in the countryside, the air is extraordinarily fresh, and the fresh and fragrant air rushes in, which makes people feel refreshed.

Li Yaonan and Lin Yixuan got up early in the morning, ate some breakfast casually, and prepared the things to bring, Li Jingxiang took them to the fourth uncle's house, to recognize the person first, and to formally recognize the relatives after the adoption. .

Now it is the autumn harvest time. Along the way, I saw a golden field and a bumper harvest. The clansmen had already gone to the fields to start working. When they saw the patriarch, some people greeted the patriarch affectionately and said hello to the patriarch. Li Jingxiang could be seen It is very prestigious in the eyes of the people.

Li Yaonan and Lin Yixuan followed suit and became familiar in front of the clansmen.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the fourth uncle's house arrived. This is a small farmyard built with blue bricks. Two osmanthus trees were planted at the door, and the scent of flowers could be smelled from a long distance.

It seemed that they had known for a long time that they were coming. A scholar in his thirties was waiting at the door.

"This is your third cousin." Li Jingxiang pointed to the scholar and introduced.

"Hello third cousin."

"Hello third cousin."

Li Yaonan and Lin Yixuan hurriedly saluted.

The book grew upright and dignified. He smiled back at them in a friendly manner, bowed back, and said with a smile: "Come into the house quickly, grandpa is waiting impatiently."

After entering the house, Li Yaonan discovered that besides the fourth uncle and the fourth uncle, there were three cousins, seven cousins, and two cousins ​​in the fourth uncle's family. One cousin, six nephews and four nieces, the family can be called four generations.

Seeing the room full of people, Li Yaonan's first impression was that there were a lot of people, and his second impression was that the ancient family planning method was really damming effective.

Lin Yixuan had inquired a long time ago and knew how many people there were in the Fourth Uncle's family, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring a gift, and then the two greeted everyone one by one, and after a while, everyone became acquainted.

Only then did Li Yaonan know that there were actually two scholars in the fourth uncle's family. The third cousin just now was the most promising one. He is currently studying at home and plans to accumulate a lot of money so that he can take the exam next year.

Several nephews are also studying in the school. Li Jingxiang revealed that the reason why the fourth uncle helped him so much was because he gave the fourth uncle a place in Mingwei Academy, that is, the second son of the third cousin. He is very talented in reading. He is only ten years old this year, and he has already finished reading the Analects, which is even better than his father.

No wonder the third cousin greeted them in person. Li Yaonan understood instantly, but he didn't feel angry. This is how people communicate. If there is no exchange of interests, how about feelings?nonsense!Why do people help you for no reason.Even he and Lin Yixuan got involved because of their interests. If it wasn't for this marital relationship, he wouldn't trust Lin Yixuan, and if it wasn't for adoptiveness, Lin Yixuan wouldn't cooperate happily with him. I remember that a few days before the wedding, Lin Yixuan But she never showed a good face to him.

But he himself is not much better, Li Yaonan feels a little ashamed to think that he is a big man and still bullies a teenage child, but next time, if he chooses between wronging himself and wronging others, Li Yaonan may still have to treat him Lin Yixuan said sorry.

In other words, Lin Yixuan is actually not bad, but his temper is a bit cold and his temper is too difficult to serve. Putting these two points aside, if Lin Yixuan is really a woman, no matter whether he has a sweetheart, Li Yaonan really wants to snatch her back to be his wife Li Yaonan felt ashamed for a while when Lin Yixuan returned to the old clan and did all the work he did to the clansmen. He would never be able to do these trivial things in his place. Come.

Closer to home, Li Yaonan saw that his fourth uncle had clear eyes and acted like a jerk, and couldn't help admiring in his heart. Fourth uncle is really a talent. Generally speaking, adoptive children for brothers are chosen from among their own sons. There are many heirs in the uncle's family, and it is really not easy to make him adopt the third uncle's family.

Li Yaonan had to admit that although crying, making trouble and hanging himself three times was shocking, it did work.

On this day, the two of them stayed at fourth uncle's house for dinner, and it was considered a joyous time for the host and guest.

Early the next morning, Li Jingxiang invited the respected elders of the family to open the gate of the ancestral hall and preside over the adoption ceremony for Li Yaonan.

The Li Clan Ancestral Hall is a courtyard house with a large area. Its architectural form is solemn and dignified, and it is usually opened only when the family has something to do.

This is the first time for Li Yaonan to see an ancient ancestral hall. The house with blue tiles and white walls is simple and solemn. , Come here, even the mood seems to become heavy.

Li Yaonan was kneeling in the center of the main room, first kowtowing to his ancestors.

Immediately afterwards, the patriarch began to read the sacrificial oration: "Here is Li Guangdong, a son of the Li family. His mourning brother died young, his nephew died young, and he had no heirs. The head of the grave. The wooden owner has no one to worship. Can people sigh? On the auspicious day of the 22th day of the ninth month of the year, incense was burned to the temple, and the son born at noon on the [-]nd day of the sixth month of the third year of Chengze, named Yaonan, was made the heir of Taicheng, the son of his younger brother..."

Li Jingxiang talked a lot, and then told Lin Yixuan to be courteous, respect the husband's rights, and the husband and wife should get along harmoniously.

Li Yaonan and Lin Yixuan kowtowed non-stop, Li Yaonan felt very forced, the ancient rules were troublesome, his forehead was red from kowtow.

As the husband of the Li family, Lin Yixuan knew very well that this might be the first and last time he came here in his life, and his expression became serious and cautious unconsciously.

After Li Jingxiang finished reading the documents for establishing heirs, he asked out the genealogy under the witness of all the elders of the Li family. He turned to the page of Li Tai'an, and with a stroke of the brush, Li Yaonan's name was removed, and then another genealogy was replaced. Li Yaonan's name was added to Li Taicheng's name, and next to Li Yaonan was Lin Yixuan. When there was a daughter, the children's names would also be recorded under their names.

After writing the last stroke, Li Yaonan and Lin Yixuan will be officially adopted, and they will no longer be from Yangzhou Lifu.

Li Yaonan was in a complicated state of mind, seeing the patriarch writing his name stroke by stroke, he couldn't tell what it was like for a while, the thing he had been looking forward to for so long, could be done with just a few strokes, his heart seemed to have settled down, following the patriarch's Swiping the tip of the pen, an inexplicable sense of belonging surged into his heart, and it took root. For the first time since traveling through time, he truly and clearly realized that he was an ancient man.

Li Yaonan and Lin Yixuan bowed three times and kowtowed nine times under Li Taicheng's ranking.

After the ceremony was completed, they went to the clan cemetery to visit the graves of the ancestors of Liufang. After finishing everything, it was almost afternoon.

All the members of the Li clan were invited by the patriarch, and Li Yaonan held a big banquet, which lasted three days and three nights before ending.

On the second house, Li Yaonan brought Lin Yixuan there on the day of adoption, just as the patriarch said, becoming the heir of the sixth house, Uncle Qian did not reject them, but he was not too friendly until Lin Yixuan promised, He will find a way out for his eldest grandson, so Uncle Qian smiled at them.

While Li Yaonan was moved, he also had some worries. After all, others didn't know, but he knew very well that Lin Yixuan had completely severed ties with Jingyang Hou's mansion after getting married this time. Is it okay to make a promise with Uncle Qian?

Lin Yixuan's expression was as cold as ever: "Although I have severed ties with the Hou Mansion, my elder brother is still in Beijing, and my mother is also the third wife of Jingyang Hou Mansion, so it's okay to help with a little help." The most important thing is that he met Uncle Qian His eldest grandson, who is stable and mature at a young age, is a promising talent, and now he has just turned 13 years old, and he will have to take the imperial examination for at least a few years, which is enough time for him to arrange everything, and his elder brother should have already made a name for himself by then.

What's more, he still has the biggest hole card. As the servant of the prince's mansion, the direction of the court is clear to him. Even if everything changes, the imperial examination questions will never change. He was busy with work, but he remembered clearly the questions of the imperial examinations and imperial examinations in the next few years. He and Li Yaonan were both prosperous.

Only when the entire family rises, others will look at you highly. No matter how brilliant a person's achievements are, once he loses power, he will collapse, and he will not even be able to find his shadow. Otherwise, why would people say that the family has a deep foundation? network!

In the next few days, Uncle Qian will give advice to Li Yaonan if he has nothing to do. After all, he has passed the Juren examination. Although Li Yaonan disagrees with some places, Uncle Qian's advice has really benefited him a lot. He can write stereotyped essays. Straight up.

The two lived in the old clan for half a month, during which time the patriarch gave them ten acres of land, and they will be members of the sixth house, and it is impossible to justify having no land.

Li Yaonan politely refused, but Li Jingxiang said that it was a sacrifice field, and they don't need to cultivate it, this is the clan's duty, but they need to pay 10 taels of silver every year, and it will be exempted after passing the examination of scholar.

Li Yaonan thought for a while, and accepted the patriarch's kindness. After the adoption, he is no longer a child of the official family, but a white body.

The household registration system of the current imperial court is strictly managed. In order to prevent farmers from evading taxes, a scholar can only have [-] acres of land at most. The patriarch must have this idea.Taking advantage of his status as a scholar to exempt the clan members from taxes, Li Yaonan actually couldn't figure it out. The owner of this body failed the scholar exam twice, where did the clan leader get the confidence that he would definitely be named on the gold list.

Seeing the end of the month, Li Yaonan and Lin Yixuan discussed and planned to return to Yangzhou as soon as possible, some matters in Li Mansion should be settled.

Before parting, Li Youxin told Li Yaonan that he would leave for the capital in the next few days, and he would be accompanied by three ten-year-old children from the clan.

After Lin Yixuan knew about it, he gave Li Youxin a three-entry house. This was the dowry prepared by Lin's mother. Back then, Lin's mother always thought that he would marry in the capital, and most of the properties he bought were in the capital and Yangzhou. After coming to Yangzhou, Lin Zhiyuan hurriedly bought Zhuangzi and other courtyards.

Li You was grateful with confidence, and he was not polite to them. Although he was studying in the Imperial College, he still needed a place to live. The cost of the capital was still high. He remembered Lin Yixuan's intentions in his heart.

When going back, Li Yaonan and Lin Yixuan took the same waterway.
