No wonder Aristocratic Clan, the real high-ranking family, has no one to feast with, no wonder those who come are from low-income families, no wonder White Cloud Swordsman leaves early, it turns out that the Su family is recruiting a son-in-law who steps in!
Liu Xiaolou still has some idea of what kind of identity he has. Assuming that the Su family chooses him as their son-in-law, he will not marry Su Family daughter back to Wulong Mountain, but Su Family daughter will marry him into Shenwu Mountain. From then on, he will live in the Shenwu Villa and become a member of the Su family.
The child he gave birth to was named Su.
With such an identity, different people have different perceptions. For those young monks with high family backgrounds and lofty ideals, it is scornful and absolutely unacceptable. How will they meet people in the future? He will be the laughingstock of the world.
For those who are down and out, it is an opportunity to join a wealthy family and no longer have to worry about three meals a day. From now on, they can enjoy fine clothes and fine food, be protected by the Shenwu Villa, and no longer have to live in exile.
So some people regard it as a scourge, while others flock to it.
For Liu Xiaolou, it prefers the latter. He didn't think it was a shameful thing. After all, this was the path his good brother Wei Hongqing took, and it was a path without status. It was worse than knocking on the door upside down, so he was envied and respected by Wulong Mountain fellow cultivators. From this perspective, for Wulong Mountain rogue cultivator, this was an opportunity to change his life.
But he didn't have any more expectations. After all, even if he wanted to recruit a son-in-law, with Wulong Mountain cultivator's reputation, it would be difficult for him to win the favor of the Su family.
Liu Xiaolou has a very clear understanding of himself, so he does not expect too much. He is just here to get a return gift, and he will be satisfied with the return gift.
Seeing Su Zhi high-fiving, an old steward with white hair and beard walked into the hall and announced the various terms of marrying into the Su family. It was considered to be the first to say something ugly, and it was up to the people present to choose:
"As the Su family's adopted son-in-law, he will become the Su family from now on and live in the Su family. He is not allowed to leave without his wife's permission..."
"Everything is decided by the wife, and she cannot disobey it, otherwise she will be severely punished by the family law..."
"You are not allowed to take concubines without your wife's consent..."
"The children born to the couple take Su as their surname and inherit the Su family..."
"You are not allowed to initiate divorce..."
"You must not do anything that damages the reputation of the Su family..."
"When something happens to the Su family, you should shoulder it with all your might and never give up or back down..."
There are all kinds of rules, seven in total, all of which are the rules that need to be followed after becoming the Su family's son-in-law. There are still a lot of restrictions.
But next, it is natural to announce the benefits, otherwise who would be willing to marry? The manager talked about a lot of benefits, but the one that really made Liu Xiaolou's heart beat was this one:
Yue gave me a piece of spiritual stone, ten taels of silver, and two bolts of silk.
Please visit the latest address Liu Xiaolou has an account in his heart. In the past two years after the teacher passed away, I have earned a lot of spiritual stones to be honest, but they are all earned through hard work and hard work, and some even take great risks. It can be said that there is no meal but no meal, today and no tomorrow. If you can have a fixed income from spiritual stones every year, then your practice life will be much more practical and stable.
Twelve yuan is fixed every year, which is not too little to be honest. If you think of ways to do some small jobs, such as picking up Hero's Invitation, setting up a small ambush, etc., don't live an easy life!
I was excited, but I was not very satisfied with several of the rules in the previous Su Family's Seven Articles, especially the two that I was not allowed to leave the villa without permission and that everything was decided by my wife. I felt uncomfortable no matter how I thought about it. This is because as Wulong Mountain rogue cultivator, he is used to freedom and does not want to be subject to such restrictions.
As for whether the child's surname would be Su or Liu, it was originally the most important thing for ordinary people, but he didn't care too much. He was alone. He was brought into Wulong Mountain by his master at the age of eight. He didn't know who his parents were, let alone the issue of heirs and incense. Didn't all his surnames belong to him?
What's more, you can still take a concubine. If the wife doesn't agree, then just secretly set up a foreign house outside. If you give birth to a child, wouldn't it be better to have a surname of Liu?
After everyone at the table heard about Su Family's Seven Articles and the benefits behind it, they agreed without hesitation. They knew what the situation would be like before they came and had already accepted such conditions. Why are they still hesitating now?
So Su Zhi emphasized again. "Let's make an agreement first. If you agree, it will be written in the marriage certificate. If you regret it in the future, not only will the Su family not be lenient, but also Zhou Zhi will be with the world. Even if you flee to the ends of the world, the Su family will never give up! If you don't want to, my family will not force you to leave the party and leave."
Dong Wei at the opposite table suddenly said to Liu Xiaolou, "Brother Liu from Wulong Mountain is a man of self-awareness. Village Master made it very clear. Brother Liu didn't leave the table. Don't you understand?"
If Su Zhi means "giving gifts to others", maybe Liu Xiaolou will just give in and won't struggle anymore, but the meaning of "leaving the table and leaving the mountain" probably indicates that there will be no gains from this trip, so Liu Xiaolou will definitely stick to it until the end.
Dong Wei wanted to take the opportunity to expel him from the banquet, but of course he couldn't agree. Even if he wanted to leave, he would have to drag the man named Dong into trouble. He said sincerely, "Brother Dong, you and I are brothers..."
Dong Wei scolded, "Who is your brother?"
Liu Xiaolou sighed and said, "It doesn't matter, you and I are not brothers, but I feel like old friends at first sight. As long as Brother Dong is willing to leave with me, I will have nothing to say. Brother Dong, the sky is high and the sea is vast, why indulge in glory and wealth? As long as you and I... well... where can't we let you and I gallop?"
Dong Wei said angrily, "You want to leave on your own, don't hold me back!"
Liu Xiaolou said regretfully to the maid Susu beside him, "Look at him... sigh..."
There was a burst of snickering in the hall. Susu beside him suppressed his smile and filled Liu Xiaolou a glass of wine. After exiting Gua Lu Hall, he couldn't help it anymore and kept laughing.
Su Zhi frowned and thought to himself, who are these people? It is indeed difficult to recruit a son-in-law, and he has already excluded Liu Xiaolou and Dong Wei. He coughed and high-fived. "Well, since no one has withdrawn, I understand your intentions. Of the twelve... Junyans, my family can only choose one, so please show your cultivation."
The reason why the Su family brought in a son-in-law was to keep the family intact. There were only three offspring of the younger generation, all of which were girls. One had already married away and became a virtuous woman from another sect. One was not her own biological child, so naturally she could not inherit the family business. The last one had reached the age of marriage, and saw that she had become a hot commodity that the surrounding sects Aristocratic Clan were competing for, so she had to take this step.
The family background of these young monks who can come here cannot be counted on. Of course, they have to look at their cultivation level. Among the dwarfs, generals are selected. The stronger they are, the better they are. When encountering an emergency, they can at least add a usable helper to the Su family.
The most intuitive way to show your cultivation is to fight. Dong Wei has been waiting for this moment for a long time. He had tried to find out in a roundabout way before that Liu Xiaolou was Qi Refining third layer, which was two levels worse than him. Of course, he was a picker of the weak. He immediately jumped out, pointed at Liu Xiaolou and said, "Do you dare to fight me with the surname Liu?"
