Chapter 417: Adoption and Recruiting a Son-in-law
The Rong family is not a famous family, nor is it a wealthy and distinguished family, one of the founders of the country. At the same time, it is not a Qingliu family with heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy. Their family is just an ordinary commoner.
In fact, a few generations back, the old Rong family might not even have any land.
Fortunately, although the Rong family is not of high origin, Mr. Rong of this generation is not a merchant. Although this dynasty does not blindly suppress business, in the eyes of the world, or in the eyes of aristocratic families, farmers are indeed better than those businessmen.
It needs to be a bit more showy.
What's more, in the eyes of the royal family, everyone here except the royal family is "lucky"!
Closer to home, what Rong Zhixian is worried about is actually very simple, that is, the Rong family is now prosperous, but there are no male members in the direct line of the Rong family. Apart from Rong Zhixian, there is only one direct descendant, Rong Feiyan.
people.
Of course, the direct lineage here refers to the lineage of Mr. Ronggui.
As the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having offspring. Even in a different world, this is the same truth.
Of course, the old man of the Rong family also worked very hard on this, and it can even be said that he worked hard without caring about his own life!
It's a pity, and I don't know why, for all these years, the old man has never had any success, let alone a boy, not even a girl.
Even though he was the groom every month and entered the bridal chamber every day, it still didn't help.
It is precisely because of this that the wealth of the Rong family naturally seems alluring.
This has attracted some people, wishing that Lu Bu could come back to life and perform the "featful feat" of "Bu has been missing for half his life, but he is willing to be his adoptive father".
However, the state has national laws and the clan has clan rules.
Not just anyone can pull off such a trick.
Although the Rong family is an ordinary people, it is still prosperous and has several blood relatives.
In other words, Mr. Ronggui is an only son, but his father, Mr. Rong, is not.
Rong Zhixian's grandfather, Mrs. Rong, is the eldest, with three younger brothers and one younger sister.
However, due to the war that year, the second and third sons of the Rong family lost news in the chaos. They have never been in contact with each other since, and they don’t know whether they are dead or alive now.
Even after the Rong family became prosperous and asked the court to send people to search for it, there was still no news. In the end, only the fourth and fifth clan members of the Rong family were left.
The fourth child is the younger sister, and the fifth child is the younger brother. Because Rong Zhixian entered the palace and became a noble concubine, in order to win over power, the Rong family also searched around for their relatives and friends in an attempt to win over the clan members and expand the power of the Rong family, but in the end they could only
Gather the clansmen from these two houses.
It's a pity that the clansmen in these two houses have not produced any talents, and they even seem to be holding Rong Zhixian back a little!
These people often do evil things outside in the name of the Rong family, which brings a lot of infamy to Rong Zhixian.
Because they care about old man Rong Gui's thoughts, Rong Zhixian can only turn a blind eye. After all, with their status, they can't do any big bad things. Now Rong Zhixian only wants to cultivate the Rong family well.
The next generation, so that we can produce a few talents and raise the lintel of the Gao Rong family!
It is curious to say that compared to the Ronggui lineage, the four-fang and five-fang lines are flourishing and have many descendants. However, because of the identity of the fifth child, there is no clear male in the Rong family.
, but the descendants of Lao Wu are eager to try to adopt the throne so that their children can inherit this huge wealth.
It's just that Lao Wu's lineage is good, but Rong Zhixian is not happy.
Although the old man has never been able to give birth to the younger brother he wanted, Rong Zhixian is not willing to let others inherit his things.
Even those who are blood related to him.
You must know that even if it is an adoption, it is nothing more than a title. When the old man dies, who can control what will happen in the future?
Human nature is inherently selfish, so it might not be impossible for the stepson to steal the resources of the first house to the fifth house.
However, Rong Zhixian thought so, but Mr. Ronggui was a little hesitant.
He still has the clan mentality of the past, believing in blood karma, and feels that adoption is a good idea, but Rong Zhixian is opposed to it wholeheartedly, and he is still thinking about struggling in his heart to see if he can have an old clam.
I'm an old guy, so I've been putting it off until now.
However, because he never had a son, Mr. Rong gradually began to give up. Only the fifth-fang clan members of the Rong family dared to start testing, and even went so far as to try to move into the Rong Mansion.
It is precisely because of this that Rong Zhixian often worries about this matter. At the same time, she secretly asked her sister to pay more attention to what is going on at home to prevent someone from the tribe from getting in trouble and asking Mr. Rong to do it.
What unwise move was made.
After all, Mr. Ronggui is more inclined towards adoption.
In fact, in Rong Zhixian's heart, she had a better idea!
Instead of adopting a side branch, it would be better for your sister to recruit a son-in-law!
Wouldn't it be wonderful to do this?
However, Rong Zhixian knew her sister's temperament and knew that she would not be happy to do this. After all, compared to her own boldness and decisiveness, Rong Feiyan was actually very timid.
I don’t know if it’s because after the Rong family became prosperous, Rong Zhixian hired a nun to educate her. Rong Feiyan’s temperament seems to be fierce, but in fact she is bound by the current worldly restrictions. She believes that women should be dependent on men.
Not at all as bold as before.
Thinking of this, Rong Zhixian couldn't help but regret it. Perhaps, he should have paid more attention to his sister back then, otherwise, this matter would not have been so difficult to handle now!
"Sister~!"
And while Rong Zhixian was still regretting it, Rong Feiyan had already walked quickly into the house under the leadership of Granny Lan.
"Sister~~"
Perhaps she felt a little guilty, but Rong Feiyan seemed even more "foolish" than before.
Without saying a word, she threw herself into Rong Zhixian's arms, rubbed her in a "pleasant" manner, and then said, "Sister, I miss you so much~!"
"Um?"
Seeing his sister acting like this, Rong Zhixian was secretly stunned!
"What's happening here?"
Rong Zhixian first calmly signaled to Nanny Lan who was standing aside. The latter immediately understood and led the surrounding maids to retreat, leaving space for the two sisters.
However, although Rong Zhixian was a little surprised, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Since Rong Feiyan is acting like a spoiled child, it means that the adoption matter that she was worried about has not happened.
At this time, Rong Zhixian touched his sister in his arms in a funny way, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are such an old person, why are you still messing around in front of your sister?"
"Hurry up and drive away, let me see if our little swallow has become prettier since I haven't seen you for a while!"
