Shi Xian smiled and said: "Nowadays, the only one who can still take out the land from under the mountain is the county master."

  Lin Qingwan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty did not say that this fief was to be an eternal estate when you conferred it upon me, so it cannot be bought or sold. If you want to build a house, I can rent a place to you."

  After that she died, the court would take back this land and there would be no conflict with Shi Xian, it's just a pity to build a house on it.

  Shi Xian furrowed his brow, "Your Majesty didn't specify that Jue Tian would be an eternal vassal?"

  Lin Qingwan shook her head, "After all, I and my niece are not of imperial blood, so it's reasonable that the land is not made into an eternal estate."

  "Your Majesty has always been kind and generous, your brother has made great contributions to the country, and it is only natural that he should be granted a permanent fiefdom. I think it's probably because the Ministry of Rites hasn't done its job properly and didn't remind Your Majesty." Shi Xian thought for a moment and said: "The county master is not unwilling, why don't you let my brother mention it to Your Majesty? Although the county master and the county mistress are not fond of wealth, this kind of thing still needs to be settled with a clear statement, otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with this fiefdom in the future."

  Lin Qingwan was shocked in her heart, "This... I thought it was Your Majesty's intention, after all, I have no children afterwards..."

  Shi Xian smiled and said, "That's because the princess doesn't understand our emperor. Although he is stingy with money, he is still very generous to his meritorious officials." She didn't have any children of her own, but that didn't mean she wouldn't have descendants. When the time came, they could just adopt one.

  The money Lin's family paid was almost equal to the national revenue of three years, and the emperor only gave out thirty hectares of fiefdom land. Would he still be so stingy as to want it back?

  Moreover, the imperial court has a regulation that once a noble's land is allocated as a residential base, it cannot be taken back. Shi Xian hinted: "So, the young lady can build the house and then sell it to me."

  Lin Qingyuan certainly couldn't have built the house and then sold it to her, most likely she wanted her to give up the land for her to build a house, but the deed was written as buying and selling houses.

  Lin Qingwan thought she already knew enough about Daliang, but at this moment, compared to Shi Xianyi, she realized that what she knew was still too narrow, and at least she didn't know how to do this.

  Lin Qingwan did not agree on the spot, but went back to look up the laws regarding jiatian, yongyetian and house sales, and also called Zhong Daguan and Lin Guan to discuss.

  But Zhong and Lin didn't understand it either, they could only express their opinions based on their own experience. "The old master also has a title, the national duke's fief is not less than that of the young lady and the sisters, that part can be inherited, but it must be the son who inherits. The old master had no sons, so the court took back the fief."

  Zhong Daguan nodded, "If the lady had a son, he should also be able to inherit the title and land."

  "The Lin family has always wanted to adopt an heir for the old master, not only to inherit the property of the eldest house, but also because of the fief and the title of national duke. Even if it's down two levels of succession, the adopted son is still a viscount," said Lin's steward in a low voice: "The fief, except that it cannot be bought or sold, has the same function as the permanent estate, which is to inherit everything."

  This is still because it involves the Lin family's property. Lin Guan knew about this only after following Lin Jiang, but he didn't know more specific details.

  Lin Qingwan had to go find the book herself.

  Lin Yuhbin helped her find them. By evening, the aunt and niece had finally found all the books and began to slowly read and understand them.

  Among them, there are many involving profound legal knowledge, some of which even have contradictory provisions, so the two cousins can only break them down slowly and then make educated guesses based on the actual situation.

  This is the disadvantage of not having Lin Jiang, if he was here, they wouldn't have to work so hard, just ask him and they would know.

  The time of Daizong's reign was not long, and most things continued from the Tang Dynasty. The regulations regarding titles, fiefs, and permanent fields were also only slightly changed.

  The title is divided into many kinds, and the fiefdom is also divided into many kinds. There are those that can be cut off for one generation, with the title and fiefdom being taken back. Lin Qingyu had previously thought that she and Lin Yuhong were in this situation.

  Some were downgraded in rank, and their fiefs were also reduced accordingly, such as the case of the Shang family.

  Some of them are regardless of whether the title is reduced or not, the fiefdom that has been granted out is forever hereditary land, except for buying and selling, it can be inherited.

  Lin Qingwan found the imperial reports collected by the Lin family, and from them, she found that apart from the royal bloodline, only the Lin, Lu, and Cui families were known to be in this situation.

  As long as there are descendants, the fief will be passed down forever as a hereditary estate.

  But seeing this, thinking that the land cannot be bought or sold is also wrong, because in the civil law there is another article, if a family member dies, and the elderly are sick at home with no way to continue, it is possible to sell the land for turnover.

  This field also includes the juelian as a permanent field.

  At the same time, there are also legal provisions that allow houses to be built on jiatian as long as they obtain the consent of the neighborhood head and local government, and this jiatian does not necessarily have to be a permanent field.

  The houses on the main beam have no time limit and can be freely bought and sold.

  Lin Yuhong felt dizzy and asked with a pair of puzzled eyes, "Then is our Jue Tian really an eternal field or not?"

  Lin Qingwan stroked her chin and said: "Shi Furen said that it would be possible to let his brother probe a bit in front of Your Majesty."

  Is it just for buying a piece of land?

  Lin Qingwan smiled, "I think she likes your younger sister."

  Lin Yuhu stuck out his tongue, "Little sister, you're also too self-loving."

  "Alright, since I'm also confused and you're also confused, let's ask her for help then. Let's consider it a favor we owe to our aunt, and next time I'll give her a piece of land to build a house."

  Since the land for building houses does not have to be a permanent field, it means that her land can also be used. Originally, she thought that after her death, those houses would also be taken back, so when building houses for the family's tenants, they were all built with mud houses, perhaps in the future they could be changed to stone houses?

  As for whether the local government agreed or disagreed, the Lin family alone could have approved so many residential land bases. With the addition of the Lu family, what other issues could there be?

  Lin Qingwan tossed the book aside, leaned back in her chair and said relaxedly: "I'll go see Shi Furen tomorrow, you can come with me then. I've taken a look at Lu's family school, it's decorated quite well, although I haven't seen any of Shi Furen's female students before, but I think since Shi Furen is like this, her students shouldn't be bad either."

  "Does Xiao Gu really plan on letting me go read books?"

  "Of course, it would be boring to stay at home all the time," Lin Qingyuan said, stroking her hair: "Even if we could invite Mr. back to teach you, studying alone is lonely, why not go to the Lu family's school, everyone is lively and bustling, and you can broaden your horizons."

  Lin Yuhong clenched the handkerchief in her hand, both expecting and a little afraid. Except for Shang's cousin, she rarely came into contact with outsiders.

  Lin Qingwan reached out and grasped her small hand, winking at her: "If you're bullied in the Lu family's school, come back and tell your little aunt, your little aunt will find a place for you to go."

  Lin Yuhong's face turned red as he lowered his head and said, "I will get along well with my classmates."

  This time, the aunt and niece rode in a carriage to the gate of the Lu family's school, where Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Lu welcomed them with two girls at the door.

  Today, Shi's wife and Lu's wife wore plain-colored clothes, although not as gorgeous as yesterday, but with a dignified temperament. Lin Qingwen got off the car and smiled: "It's almost like thinking that the lady has changed into another person."

  Shi Xian turned his head and said to his cousin, "How about it? I didn't say wrong, did I? If the county master's age wasn't here, I would have almost thought she was of the same age as us."

  Lin Qingwan helplessly asked, "Is Lady Shi praising me for being steady or scolding me for being old-fashioned?"

  Shi Xian burst out laughing and said: "Of course I'm praising you when speaking in front of you."

  "There must be something said behind my back, I don't know what bad things were said about me."

  Mrs. Lu was stunned, her elder sister was very proud in her heart, it was the first time she saw someone who got along so well with her after just one meeting. She came back to her senses and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't listen to my sister, she went back last night and praised you a lot, saying that she had never seen anyone as transparent as you. I was really curious, so I couldn't help but come and take a look."

  "Madam Lu pulled her daughter and niece over to pay their respects. 'Duchess, Countess, this is my niece Cui Rong, this is my daughter Lu Ling.'"

  Lin Qingwan then introduced Lin Yuhong to them, saying: "The two ladies don't have to be polite, just call me Qingwan, and Yuhong is also young, no need to use honorifics."

  She also reminded the two little girls, "You just get along with each other as equals."

  Cui Rong and Lu Ling, both around twelve or thirteen years old, exchanged a shy smile upon hearing this, then pulled Lin Yubin aside to whisper something, their friendship having come about in a way that was hard to understand.

  Choi Rong and Lu Ling saw Lin Yubin looking beautiful and elegant, couldn't help but feel delighted, and Lin's niece was the first person to interact with them without a strange gaze. As for Lin Yubin, apart from Shang's cousin, she had few peers of her age, so when she met two pretty girls around her age, she naturally wanted to make friends with them.

  Moreover, they also asked their uncle for help, and both sides had the intention of getting close to each other, so naturally they got along harmoniously.

  By the time they arrived at the banquet hall of the girls' school, the three girls had already become good friends, hand in hand.

  Lu Ling glanced at Lin Qingwan, who was talking to her mother and aunt, and couldn't help but say in a low voice: "Yubin, your younger sister is really formidable, she can actually make my aunt laugh so happily. You don't know how serious my aunt is, she never jokes with us."

  Choi Rong-xin nodded sympathetically, "Your younger aunt doesn't seem to be much older than us, how can she get along with my mother?"

  Lin Yuheng's emotions were somewhat downcast, and he pursed his lips, saying: "Since my father fell ill, my younger aunt has changed a lot. She used to be even more delicate than me."

  This is not an exaggeration, but Wan Jie's daughter is indeed more delicate than Lin Yuhong. She was a posthumous child, and after her birth, her mother treated her as a treasure, holding her in the palm of her hand for fear of dropping her, and holding her in her mouth for fear of losing her.

  Lin Jiang was much older than her at that time and was also in mourning, so it was not possible to have children, so the couple also raised her as their own daughter.

  When Lin's mother passed away, Lin Jiang and his wife took even better care of her. When Shang Shi passed away that year, Lin Jiang was unwilling to remarry, but he also feared that if his daughter grew up by his side without anyone to teach her, it would be difficult to find a suitable husband for her in the future, so he sent her to live with Old Lady Shang.

  Because Wan Jie had already been engaged, and Mrs. Xie was in Yangzhou, Lin Jiang couldn't bear to let her go to the Shang family as well, so she kept her behind. With Mrs. Xie around, she didn't have to worry about her upbringing anymore.

  At that time, Lin Jiang's thoughts of his daughter were all poured into Wan Jie, and Lin Yubin was even jealous of her younger sister for a long time and refused to communicate with her.

  But this time when I went home for a reunion, my little aunt was on the verge of death and later recovered, but then my father fell seriously ill. Under the circumstances where the two cousins relied on each other for survival, their feelings had long since broken through the sky.

  Lin Qingwan has now become the most important person in Lin Yuhuan's heart, and naturally, she also starts to care about the changes of her little sister-in-law.

  Seeing Lin Yuheng's depressed mood, the two little friends immediately comforted him: "I think it's okay for your aunt to be like that, at least she won't be scared by my mother."

  "Yes, yes, I also want to be like your little aunt, able to take charge of everything myself, how great that would be." Lu Ling held her hands in anticipation and said: "If only I could say go out the door and go out the door, say go visit someone and go visit someone, that would be wonderful."

  Lin Yuhbin couldn't help but burst out laughing, and with a pleased expression, he said: "My little aunt never restricts me. If I want to go out, she will never stop me."

  Two little friends looked at each other with surprise and envy, saying: "It's so great, why don't we have such a cool aunt?"

  Lu Ling's eyes sparkled as she said: "Lin sister, then you'll invite us to play in your future posts, okay?"
