Chapter 677

Old lady Xiao was stunned.

"Then why is the second son worried all day? He's very grumpy and can't get angry at any time."

Therefore, they have been worried recently.

Shi Qing gave her a soothing look. "He is sad and irritable. It must not be because of his title."

"Why? I thought he was unhappy about going back to Nanxi County," Mrs. Xiao asked

They don't want to go back to Nanxi County.

She already knew that Kong Shi was going to the capital to marry King Yi. Although she scolded a lot privately, she felt that Kong Shi did not abide by women's morality, but she couldn't stop it. She envied the bitterness.

Similarly, they also know that Xiao Hanzheng's brother and sister have soared with them.

The second son told them before that he didn't want them to go to Nanxi County to suffer and let them stay in Beicheng to live with Xiao Hanzheng.

What's the meaning of returning to Nanxi County? Of course, it's more interesting to follow the magistrate.

Dalang may be able to follow Xiao Hanzheng to some position. It's not obvious that Xi Rui, a dandy, has become the dean.

So they also want to stay in Beicheng.

Shi Qingluo guessed what they thought when he saw the look of the three old ladies.

She smiled and said, "of course not."

"I think Baron Xiao is suffering now. His legs are broken and poisoned by GE Chunru. He can no longer have children. Now his only daughter can't inherit the title in the future. He must be worried!"

She's talking about Tao Liusheng's daughter. After all, Bai Li and slag father have long broken off their marriage, not each other's daughter.

Xi Rong is the only special case in the girder. It is impossible for Xiao Yuanshi's daughter to have such a special honor.

The old lady thought it was reasonable, "yes, the second one must be very bitter."

It's hard for anyone to be hurt by GE Chunru's bitch.

The key is that without a son, this title will not be wasted in the future.

The old lady said bitterly, "isn't this title over when it's passed to his generation?"

Shi Qing nodded, "if he doesn't have children in the future, it must be such a generation."

Then the conversation changed, "but if he adopts a son, goes on the genealogy and is recognized by the family, the title can still be passed on to the adopted son."

"I just don't know if Baron Xiao will succeed in the future."

"If you don't succeed, you'll waste a title in vain."

The speaker has the heart and the listener has the intention.

The old lady's eyes turned. "Is it OK to adopt?"

Shi Qing nodded, "of course, it's OK. If you inherit the genealogy, you'll be Baron Xiao's son and inherit the title legally."

"It's a title, but it's more powerful than being a county magistrate."

"Although I went back to Nanxi County, not only did the county magistrate salute when he saw it, but the magistrate had to give way."

"It's more dignified than being a small official with seven grades."

Then he said how good the title is, which is better than being a small official without taking the imperial examination route.

Wang and Wu could not help but get excited.

Don't say it's true. Their son, let alone being a scholar, can't even pass the exam.

So it's OK to get a county magistrate with eight grades, but it's difficult to know the county with seven grades.

In the future, if you assume the rank of Lord, it's not more dignified than being a county magistrate. The whole family will follow your identity.

Both of them have thoughts. Anyway, Xiao Yuanshi can't have children. It's good to adopt their son. His nephew is no better than the wild children outside.

The old lady also thinks it's good. Her eldest brother just suffers from not having the status of Jinshi and can't be a senior official.

But if they succeed as knights, their status will rise in the future, and their old Xiao family will no longer be mud legs.

Anyway, the second son can't have a son. It's good to have a stepnephew.

The old lady is very active, but she has some scruples. "But if she wants to go back to Nanxi County, isn't it a bit humiliating? Why isn't she in the capital?"

Shi Qingluo said, "how can I lose face when I go to Nanxi County? Isn't it a matter of glorifying the lintel?"

"Let alone Nanxi County, that is, the whole Nanguang Prefecture, but no one has been knighted."

"At the beginning, everyone knew that you sold your house and fields and went to Beijing to take refuge in general Xiao, but they wouldn't know whether you're doing well now."

"I heard that some people gossip that your life must be difficult. You should regret selling your house and land."

"Those people will be absolutely shocked when they get the title this time, and then they all envy the old lady that you have a good son."

"There are many people with high status in Beicheng. You don't stand out when you go out."

"And I don't know many people, and people won't take the initiative to praise or envy."

"This is a title. It sounds great. Won't everyone praise you wherever you go?"

"This kind of happy event, of course, should be shared with acquaintances."

"Say such a proud thing again, but glory will never lose face."

She grasped the old Xiao family's desire to show off, so she guided them.

Sure enough, old lady Xiao's breathing was heavy.

When their family left the village, someone was really waiting to see their jokes.

If she had a title, the old women who had not dealt with her before would not envy her.

She is the Baron's mother. She is the old prince of the Xiao family, but she is different from those ignorant village women.

They really don't know many people in Beicheng. When they see the aristocratic family dignitaries, they have to give in and give in.

The main reason is that they also know that even if they rely on Xiao Hanzheng, the cruel and cold-hearted grandson, they will not necessarily give them benefits.

But it's different when they go back to Nanxi County. They are so proud that they have returned home in good clothes.

And the old lady is getting older. After all, Nanxi County is her hometown. Her family, relatives and friends are there. She still misses it.

Some time ago, the old man was still talking about wanting to go back and have a look. After all, that's their root.

Seeing that the old lady was loose, Shi Qingluo immediately said, "if you don't want to go back, let Dalang and them find a man in Beicheng to work, but they can also feed you."

"It's just that Baron Xiao returned to Nanxi County. At that time, if you have adopted your son, old lady, you have more grandchildren. It's too difficult to meet at such a distance."

"At that time, the Baron's house will be owned by your grandson."

As soon as the old lady heard this, she said, "we came out to find the second son. Of course, we have to follow him wherever he goes."

Yes, if you don't follow her to Nanxi County and the second beast adopts a son, her eldest brother won't be able to succeed.

That won't work.

Wang and Wu were also worried, "yes, we have been out for so long. It's time to go back and have a look."

It's not just the problem of chengjue. If the black heart of the second son goes back, he must take all his family wealth with him. It's impossible to leave it to them.

Now that they are used to a good life, they can't afford to suffer.

No, we must follow to Nanxi County, but we can't let the wild species outside take advantage of it.

The old lady couldn't sit still. "Qingluo, we have to go back in advance. Let's talk another day."

She must hurry back and talk to the old man. She must follow the old man back.

The second beast encouraged them to stay with Xiao Hanzheng before, and they were almost fooled.

I'm afraid he wants to take his family wealth and go back to Nanxi County to adopt a wild species to inherit the title.

Now think about it carefully. Where can a broken grandson be reliable.

The second bastard's heart is punishable. Fortunately, when she met Qing Luo today, she was awakened.

So much wealth and titles can only belong to their old Xiao family.
