Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Now, Cheng Hu feels that Song Jinxiu is a fairy in the sky, who can do anything.

He wanted to follow her and become one of the clan brothers she mentioned, or in the little girl's words, to be someone she protected.

Because the people she is willing to protect are those she considers to be her family.

Cheng Hu gritted his teeth, suddenly knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Chief Song, I am Cheng Hu from Song Village, please grant me the generation name Jin."

Everyone was stunned and looked at him.

Song Jinxiu was also stunned.

Then she understood that Cheng Hu was surrendering.

The bestowal of a character is usually a surname or given name given by a master to a servant. It is a form of attribution.

Song Jinxiu said, "If you want to use the Jin character generation name, that's fine."

Cheng Hu was delighted.

Song Jinxiu said again: "Get up first, don't be too happy too soon, listen to me."

Everyone also said: "Cheng Hu, you get up first and listen to what our clan leader has to say."

Song Jinxiu glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, listen to me. This will become part of the clan rules from now on."

Everyone suddenly became serious.

Song Jinxiu said, "The Song family has two ways of bestowing generation names. The first is sworn brotherhood. You can follow our generation name and be named Jin. Your descendants don't need to follow our generation name. Let's just talk about our friendship."

The second type is to be included in our Song family genealogy, and be the adopted son of the Song family. All future generations will also be named according to their generation name, which is equivalent to a branch of the Song family, and their fortunes and misfortunes will be closely linked to the Song family."

Having a large clan has both advantages and disadvantages.

In this dynasty, there were cases of joint crimes, such as the punishment of nine generations of a clan.

"Brother Cheng Hu, which one do you want to be?"

Cheng Hu looked at Song Jinxiu. He knew that there was a difference between the two types, at least in the little girl's mind, there was a big difference.

He did not hesitate and said seriously: "Cheng Hu is willing to be included in the Song family tree, without any regrets."

They came here to escape famine, and the Cheng family was scattered and had no clan to speak of.

Song Jinxiu clapped her hands, "Okay. Then from now on, we will prosper together, suffer together, share joys and sorrows, and be together in good times and bad times."

Song Jinxiu admired Cheng Hu very much, but with so many brothers and sisters in the clan, she didn't have the energy to train an outsider.

If an outsider becomes powerful, what benefits can she get? Can she raise horses and ride in a carriage? No.

But her people can.

As for money and gratitude, she doesn't need them.

But it would be different if Cheng Hu was included in the Song family tree. If this guy became an official, she could also raise horses and make carriages openly.

Cheng Hu chose a name for himself, Jinhao.

Cheng Jinhao.

Shengshi Taifeng Hao Yuyou, later known as the Seven Tiger Generals of Songjia Village, each had extraordinary achievements.

Not to mention.

Song Jinxiu sent Liu Ping back to deliver a letter. The Song family clan's generation name had to be informed to the old patriarch and the elders.

She also wrote down the newly added clan rules, as well as the fact that Cheng Huci's generation name, Jin, needed to be recorded in the family tree.

At the same time, she also reminded Qiu Sheng to buy more sweet potatoes and store them in the cellar after the autumn harvest.

Because she wants to eat pork stewed with vermicelli. She also wants to eat spicy hot pot!

Unfortunately, there is no vermicelli here, so she has to make it herself whenever she wants to eat something. It's really inconvenient.

Nanny Lin came back exhausted and brought four people with her.

"Miss, this is my good sister, and these two are her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. I bought them on my own initiative, and I hope you'll take them in."

Song Jinxiu nodded and looked at Nanny Lin, waiting for her explanation.

Although they had not been together for a long time, she could still see a little bit about Nanny Lin's character.

She is not someone who oversteps her bounds and is very particular about rules.

Nanny Lin explained, "Her name is Zhang Qiao, and she's forty-five years old. She used to live with the princess, but when she reached a certain age, the princess let her go out and get married."

It turned out that less than six months after she got married, her husband fell seriously ill, spent all the family savings, and even took on a large amount of debt. In the end, he passed away.

When her husband died, she was already pregnant. Later, in order to make a living and pay off debts, she worked as a nanny for a wealthy family.

After twenty years of hard work, he finally paid off his debts. Now he has only two mu of thin land and lives a hard life.

It just so happened that Nanny Lin went to see her and heard that the young master had not yet married and that he liked a peasant girl. He lacked manpower to serve him, so he wanted to come back to find a way out for his children and grandchildren.

Song Jinxiu said: "Madam, it is good for the people to stay. But I have to say something ugly first.

We, the Song family, are farmers, so we don't have that many rules, but there is one rule we must remember, and that is loyalty."

Just follow them and see how they perform. If they are useful, keep them around. If they are not useful, find a way to get rid of them.

Li Cheng looked at the crossbow in his hand and felt very excited.

He was originally an escort, and he had his own martial arts skills, and he had also practiced archery, but the bows and arrows belonged to the escort agency, and he could only use them when escorting.

He couldn't afford it himself. A good bow and arrow cost over a hundred taels of silver! It was not something an ordinary escort like him could afford.

But now the eldest lady gave him a crossbow, which is more convenient to use than a bow and arrow. How could he not be happy?

"Girl, you are so kind to the servants. I wish I could always work for you."

Song Jinxiu thought to herself: I've been waiting for you to say this.

"If you follow me, you will have to sign a contract to sell yourself, but I can give you a monthly salary of fifty taels, clothes for four seasons, and a year-end bonus."

Li Cheng's eyes lit up. If someone else said this, he would definitely not agree, but if it was Song Jinxiu, he would agree.

"I am willing. I can sign a contract to sell myself and just follow you around."

Song Jinxiu was very happy to accept Li Cheng. In the following days, everyone practiced archery while traveling.

After passing Ningyi Prefecture, they arrived at the capital. The number of pedestrians on the road increased, and from time to time, they could see tall horses galloping past.

Nanny Lin said that there are two ways to get to Beijing from here. It takes two days to take the main road, but if you cross Yanming Mountain, you can get there in one day.

When everyone heard this, they all clamored to cross the mountain because they could go hunting.

While practicing crossbows, we would take advantage of the breaks to shoot arrows at the birds in the sky. No, not arrows, but chopsticks.

Song Jinxiu said: "Okay, let's use bamboo sticks today to test the results of our practice over the past few days."

"Good!" everyone cheered.

Song Jinfang wanted to follow too, and Song Jinxiu said, "Follow Nanny Lin and walk along the main road. Follow Nanny and learn the rules well on the way."

Song Jinfang was helpless because it was the task assigned to her by her sister to appease Nanny Lin.

Song Jinxiu: Nanny Lin is busy teaching you the rules, so she has no time to take care of me.

Nanny Lin: Never mind. The eldest lady is a person with strong opinions and is smart.

She learned the rules quickly, and when she sat, she was as formal and dignified as the ladies of the aristocratic families in the capital. But she just didn't follow the rules and did whatever she wanted.

It would take a lot of effort to straighten out the eldest lady's temper. Not to mention that she can't do it, I'm afraid even the young master doesn't have the ability to do it.

Never mind, it’s enough to just pretend in front of others.

Finally, Li Cheng, Su Chuan, Yingchun, Nanny Lin, and Zhang Qiao's family took the main road.

Song Jinxiu led everyone into Yanming Mountain.

On the outskirts of Yanming Mountain, there is a one-meter-wide path leading to the capital. If you follow the path, you don’t have to worry about getting lost.

There are no large animals on the mountain, mostly deer. It is said that there is a Yanming Lake deep in Yanming Mountain, where there are many geese.
