Of course, you have to go to the county government office to change your name. Household registration matters are under the jurisdiction of the household office, so Qin Dewei walked into the household office and explained his purpose to the clerk.
But the clerk in the household said: "Master Feng has given an order in advance. All business related to Mr. Qin must be handled by him personally. No one can specialize in it!"
Qin Dewei was baffled. What kind of trouble is this rookie county official trying to do? Are you so free after the provincial examination?
Although he always felt that something was wrong, he had to do something, so he had no choice but to go to Magistrate Feng.
At this time, Magistrate Feng was handling matters in the court, but it was not a trial. A bunch of servants were standing in the court taking orders, and they didn't know what was going on.
But Qin Dewei doesn't care. Since he didn't come to notify him, then it is definitely not important and there is no need to waste your thoughts!
As soon as Qin Dewei entered the court, Magistrate Feng's eyes lit up and he immediately waved and said, "My nephew is here, come and see Shibo!"
Qin Dewei: "..."
He knew that as long as he had a father, such a day would definitely come! But he didn't expect it to come so quickly!
With a helpless sigh, Qin Dewei casually raised his hands to Magistrate Feng and said, "I have met the magistrate."
Feng Zhixian immediately frowned and complained deliberately: "Why is my nephew so alienated? Just call him Shibo!"
I'm riding a horse... Qin Dewei stared and was speechless.
Everyone in the hall watched with great interest. It was rare to see a primary school student fall behind in front of the magistrate. Today was worth it.
Qin Dewei turned around and left. Feng Zhixian quickly shouted: "What is my nephew going to do?"
Qin Dewei said without looking back: "My family lives in Shangyuan County, and I am thinking of transferring my household registration to Shangyuan County today!"
"Why are you so good nephew!" Suddenly someone jumped out and grabbed Qin Dewei.
Everyone in the hall was shocked. For Feng Zhixian to act as an elder in front of Qin Dewei, the prerequisite is that he has this status and qualifications. Who else is so bold and dares to call Qin Dewei "nephew"!
I looked closely again, oh, it turned out to be Mr. Qin, so that’s okay.
Little did he know that what Qin Dewei was most afraid of seeing now was his biological uncle, and now he even wanted to leave.
However, Qin Xiang and Qin Baotou held on hard, and Qin Dewei was too weak to do anything, so he was forced back to the public case of Feng Zhixian County.
Standing here, Qin Dewei hesitated again. The meaning of this current name is not only the name in this life, but also the name before time travel.
This name is his only connection with the time and space of his previous life. Giving up this name means completely giving up the spiritual connection with another time and space.
Then all the memories of the previous life will be just objective data and will no longer have any emotional temperature.
Qin Dewei looked at his uncle next to him. He had been hiding from his uncle for several days, which still showed that he felt guilty.
Although his biological father abandoned him, his uncle raised him for ten years and was a truly nurturing person. If he changed his surname, it would definitely be the biggest blow to his uncle.
Feng Zhixian saw Qin Dewei start to look dumbfounded and asked proactively: "Why is my nephew here? Could it be that he wants to change his surname?"
It was originally suggested by Feng Zhixian that Qin Dewei find a new father. This was to separate himself from his biological father whose fate was unknown. It would be beneficial to Qin Dewei's future personal development and avoid uncontrollable risks. Of course, if he changes his surname, he can
Be more thorough.
Seeing that Qin Dewei still lowered his head and remained silent, Feng Zhixian guessed that Qin Captou might be standing nearby, which affected Qin Dewei's mood.
Then he said to Qin Captou: "Qin Chao! If you really think about Qin Dewei, your Qin family should let go."
Chief Qin knelt in front of the case and said bitterly: "Qin Dewei is the only child of the two families in the Qin family. If I don't have the ability to give birth to a son, and Qin Dewei changes his surname, our Qin family will be extinct!"
Feng Zhixian responded: "Isn't this easy to solve? If Qin Dewei has a son after changing his surname in the future, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to choose one to adopt him and return to the Qin family?"
Qin Captou immediately said again: "In the future, one of Qin Dewei's wives and concubines must be counted as the Qin family. Regardless of their names, the surname of the children born is Qin! Please make this decision by the county magistrate!"
Feng Zhixian suddenly realized that this was what Qin had been fighting for for a long time, going around and around.
To get the county government to issue a legal judgment and allow Qin Dewei to leave a room for the Qin family, this is the best effort that Chief Qin can make.
Feng Zhixian took the case and said: "Then I will be the master! Write a verdict and give it to the Qin officer!"
Qin Dewei suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Bao's head three times. No one can be ruthless like a human being, and Qin Dewei was not really a cold-blooded person.
Qin Baotou hugged his eldest nephew and couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of the experience of treating his eldest nephew as his son and having to endure all the hardships to raise him for ten years.
The uncle and nephew hugged each other and cried, and everyone in the court saw it and sighed. Everyone could understand Qin Dewei's choice to face reality, and they could also understand Qin Captou's sadness. They could only lament that fate had played a trick on people.
At this moment, someone suddenly said: "Everyone must act in accordance with the law and cannot act randomly."
Everyone followed the voice and looked, who was still in the mood to have a sense of presence at this time?
It turns out that he is Master Qian, a ninth-grade official who really has no sense of existence in ordinary life. Under the system where Zhengyin officials are arbitrary in everything, an official position like chief secretary is comparable to the transparent one in later generations.
Master Qian saw that others were looking down on him, so he talked eloquently: "I heard that Mr. Zeng's household registration is in Jiangdu County. If Qin Dewei wants to change his surname to Zeng, he must first add his household registration to the Zeng family.
In other words, Qin Dewei must move his household registration with his father to the Zeng family in Jiangdu County before he can change his surname.
But if the household registration is in Jiangdu County, the surname can only be changed at the Jiangdu County government office. In this case, our Jiangning County government office does not have the power to change Qin Dewei's surname."
There was a moment of silence in the courtroom as everyone carefully savored this judicial explanation. Qin Dewei and Qin Chaoyi stopped holding their heads and crying, looking at each other in astonishment.
According to what he meant, if Qin Dewei wanted to change his surname, he would first have to move his household registration from Nanjing City to Jiangdu County and become a member of the Zeng family. Then he could change his surname to Zeng and get legal recognition.
But just to change the surname, is it worth the trouble? What is the point of giving up a capital household registration like Nanjing and a preliminary foundation? Jiangdu County household registration does not get any extra points in the imperial examination!
Mr. Qian finally concluded: "In short, everything must be done in accordance with the law. Changing your surname cannot be based on your temper, you must have a reason.
Anyway, as long as Qin Dewei continues to retain his household registration in Jiangning County, we in Jiangning County have no right to change Qin Dewei's surname, and anything else is useless."
Qin Captou was immediately overjoyed, this was really lucky! But Qin Dewei, who had been in love with his uncle and nephew for a long time, was confused.
In his previous life, he studied the history of the judicial system of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but he could not learn it in such detail, and it focused on criminal matters. Who could have imagined such an extremely unpopular question?
If I had known this would be the result, why would I have been so hesitant just now?
Feng Zhixian, who had been persuading him to change his surname for a long time, was also embarrassed. Why did he look more professional than himself?
