Chapter 677
The old lady Xiao was stunned.
"Then why is the second child frowning all day long? He's also very short-tempered, and he gets angry at every turn."
That's why they are also worried recently.
Shi Qingluo gave her a soothing look, "He's frowning and irritable, so it's definitely not because of the title."
The old lady Xiao asked inexplicably: "Why? I thought he was unhappy because he was going back to Nanxi County."
They also don't want to go back to Nanxi County.
She already knew about Kong's going to the capital to marry King Yi. Although she scolded a lot in private, she felt that Kong was not abiding by women, but she couldn't stop her, and she envied her bitterly.
They also know that the Xiao Hanzheng brothers and sisters have followed suit.
The second child told them before that he didn't want them to go to Nanxi County to endure hardship, and let them stay in Beicheng, and then depend on Xiao Hanzheng to live.
What's the point of going back to Nanxi County, of course, it would be more interesting to follow the prefect.
Dalang and a few others might be able to follow Xiao Hanzheng for a different position, but Xi Rui, a dandy, has become a dean.
So they also thought about staying in Beicheng.
When Shi Qingluo saw the expressions on the old lady's face, she guessed what they were thinking.
She smiled and said, "Of course not."
"I think Baron Xiao is suffering now. His legs are crippled, and he was poisoned by Ge Chun and can no longer have children. Now his only daughter, and he will not be able to inherit the title in the future, he must be worried!"
She was talking about Tao Liusheng's daughter. After all, Bai Li and Scum Daddy had already broken up, not counting the other's daughter.
Only Xi Rong was a special case in Daliang, and Xiao Yuanshi's daughter naturally couldn't have such an honor.
The old lady also felt reasonable when she heard it, "That's right, the second child must be very bitter."
Being hurt by that slut Ge Chunru like this, it would be uncomfortable for anyone else.
The key is that without a son, this title will not be wasted in the future.
The old lady said painfully, "Then isn't this title passed down to his generation and it's over?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "If he has no children in the future, it must be this generation."
Then the conversation changed, "But if he adopts a son and goes on the family tree, if he 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 adopt it in the future."
"If it doesn't continue, it will be a waste of a title."
The speaker has the intention, and the listener has the intention.
The old lady rolled her eyes, "Is this an adoptive one too?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Of course it's okay, he is Baron Xiao's son who is adopted on the family tree, and he legally inherits the title."
"This is a title, which is much more prestige than being a county magistrate."
"Even though I went back to Nanxi County, not only the magistrate had to salute when they saw it, but the prefect had to give three points of courtesy."
"It's much more powerful than being a seventh-rank petty official."
Then he talked about how good the title is, which is better than being a petty official without taking the imperial examination route.
Both Wang and Wu couldn't help but get excited in their hearts.
Don't say it really makes sense, let alone their sons are admitted to the jinshi, even the scholars can't pass the exam.
So it's okay to get an eighth-rank county magistrate, but it's hard to get a seventh-rank county magistrate.
In the future, if he becomes a noble, it will not be more prestige than being a county magistrate. How high his status is, the whole family will follow his status.
Both of them had their minds, Xiao Yuanshi wouldn't be able to give birth to a child anyway, how good it is to adopt their son, a nephew is no better than a wild child outside.
The old lady also thinks this is good. Her boss is suffering from lack of jinshi status and can't be a high-ranking official.
But if he becomes a noble, his status will rise in the future, and their old Xiao family will no longer be muddy.
Anyway, the second child can't give birth to a son, what a step-nephew.
The old lady is very active, but she still has some scruples. "But isn't it a bit shameful to go back to Nanxi County? Why isn't it in the capital?"
Shi Qing said, "How can I be ashamed of going to Nanxi County? Isn't this a matter of Guangyao's lintel?"
"Not to mention Nanxi County, it is the entire Nanguangfu City, but no one has been knighted."
"At the beginning, everyone knew that you sold your house and land to join General Xiao in Beijing, but they wouldn't know if you were doing well now."
"I heard that there are people gossiping, saying that your life must be difficult, and you will regret selling your house and land."
"Then when I got the title back this time, those people were absolutely shocked, and then they all envied the old lady that you gave birth to a good son."
"There are a lot of people with high status in Beicheng, and you won't be conspicuous when you go out."
"And I don't know many people, and they won't take the initiative to praise or envy."
"This is a title. It sounds amazing. Wherever you go, won't everyone praise you?"
"This kind of happy event, of course, has to be shared with acquaintances."
"Besides, such a proud thing, but glory, will never be ashamed."
She caught the old Xiao family and others' liking for fame and other thoughts, so she guided them.
Sure enough, Mrs. Xiao's breathing became a little heavier when she heard it.
When their family left the village, there were indeed people waiting to see their jokes.
If she had the title to go back, those old women who didn't deal with her in the past would not be envious of soreness.
She is the baron's mother, the old lady of the Xiao family, but she is not the same as those ignorant village women.
They really don't know many people in Beicheng, and they have to hold it when they see the powerful family.
The main reason is that they also know in their hearts that even if they rely on Xiao Hanzheng, that cruel and cold-hearted grandson will not necessarily take care of them and benefit them.
But when they returned to Nanxi County, it was different. They had returned home in fine clothes, and they were so proud.
And the old lady is also getting old. Nanxi County is her hometown after all. 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 was their roots.
Seeing that the old lady was loosened, Shi Qingluo immediately said: "If you don't want to go back, let Dalang and the others find a buddy in Beicheng, and they can support you."
"It's just that Baron Xiao returned to Nanxi County. If he adopts a son, old lady, you have an extra grandson, and it will be too difficult to see each other at such a long distance in the future."
"By that time, all the wealth in the Baron's Mansion will also belong to your grandson."
When the old lady heard this, it was okay, "We all came out to find the second child. Where does he go, of course we will go with him."
Yes, if you don't follow him to Nanxi County, if the second child adopts a son by himself, then her eldest son will not be able to hold the title.
This will not work.
Mrs Wang and Mrs Wu were also anxious, "Yeah, we've been out for so long, so it's time to go back and have a look."
It's not just about Chengjue's problem, if the second son's black heart goes back, he will definitely take all his family wealth with him, and it is impossible to leave it to them.
They are used to living a good life now, and where can they endure hardship.
No, you must go to Nanxi County, but you can't let the wild species outside take advantage.
The old lady couldn't sit still any longer, "Qingluo, we have to go back beforehand, let's talk another day."
She wants to go back quickly and talk to the old man, and she must go back with the second child.
The second child, the beast, had encouraged them to stay with Xiao Hanzheng, and they almost fell for it.
The reason is that he wants to take his family wealth and go back to Nanxi County to follow a wild breed to inherit the title.
Now think about it carefully, how can a grandson who has been cut off have a reliable son.
The second child is a beast, but fortunately, she was woken up when she met Shi Qingluo today.
So many family wealth and titles can only belong to their old Xiao family.
