son-in-law

Chapter 167 Bloodline

Zhou Pei is currently struggling with the fact that he is about to grow up.

As the little princess in Kang Wang's mansion, she was 13 years old last year, and she will be fourteen after the New Year this year. 14 years old is not a great age, but for girls, some things start to become urgent and obvious. The most influential one is that the father who has always been irresponsible at home began to think about giving Find yourself a consort.I asked her opinion once, and she was still comparing the young leaders in Jiangning area recently. These things made her feel a little distressed.

It's not that marriage is completely excluded.As Zhou Pei's county owner, the education she received since she was a child was actually excellent.As a woman these days, especially a royal woman who can be educated, it is not an exaggeration to say that all education from childhood was for the purpose of becoming a qualified wife in the future.

It is true that the extremely favorable environment can also easily cultivate some characters that are not very popular, but Zhou Pei is still relatively good in this regard, and she does not have no expectations for her future marriage.What the future concubine will be like, what it will be like to form a family with another man, and what to do after becoming someone else's wife, she will feel blushing when she thinks about these things.But on the other hand, this incident also clearly told her that she might only be a woman in the future.

Zhou Pei is unqualified in "Women's incompetence is virtue", she has extraordinary talent and quick thinking.Of course, this is also an unconvincing lie. Only a smart woman can truly control a family. A real stupid woman is easy to suffer. Xiao Zhoupei has seen many such stupid women in the palace since she was a child. Not like them.

She has had various teachers since she was a child, but the most important one, after all, is Grandpa Ma Kang. The old man was an angry youth, which had a great influence on her.Since she was a child, Grandpa Kang would teach her and her younger brother the honor of being the royal family of the Zhou family, and the ideal of creating peace for all generations to follow the sages of the past—more of it was actually taught to her younger brother Zhou Junwu, but as a royal family, she naturally had the same. Qualifications and missions, for example, Aunt Huang is doing a lot of business with Grandpa Concubine, secretly supporting the operation of Chaotang in the south, which is very convincing.

Kang Xian and his wife set an example and teach without distinction. As a result, Zhou Pei, who was sensible earlier, was infected more deeply and set up various ambitions since childhood, so she urged her younger brother since childhood.Although it is said that the royal family is more strict with their relatives, they must always have the idea of ​​serving the country in their hearts, just like the grandmother of the emperor and the grandfather of the concubine. As long as there is hope, there is always some way to contribute to the country, and a sister with a strong sense of responsibility , As the younger brother, Xiao Junwu has become more gentle.

The two brothers and sisters walked all the way under such circumstances, and the father and Wang gave up and threw them to Kang Xian for discipline.Zhou Pei's sense of responsibility is getting stronger and stronger, but his younger brother is a piece of cowhide candy, adhering to the principle of being good as water, but there is no progress.When you read the book, your grades are so-so, and sometimes you are a little confused. If you want to say something about dying for the country, the little guy must stare in surprise.

The matter is obvious, the country did not allow them to sacrifice their lives, the father and the king fight around all day long, and the court severely restricts the participation of the emperor's relatives and relatives in politics. They have no way to become officials and join the army since they were young.Xiao Junwu also knew these things from a young age, but Zhou Pei believed that where there is a will, there is a way. She and her younger brother belonged to a free-range state since childhood, not a captivity, so she knew how the current world is going, and worried about the current situation in the world. I have to do something, at least I have to urge my brother to do something, he is a man after all.There is no achievement in these years, Zhou Pei is anxious, but after all, her younger brother is only 11 years old, and there is always time to take it slowly, but at this time, she knows that there is no time.

Marriage is something that, as a woman, after all, there is no way to avoid it. She blushed because of the things her father said, and at the same time she felt uneasy, she also really found that once she got married, she could really only be a woman. , To manage the affairs of the family, to care for the husband and to teach the children, and the heart is too big, it is not allowed.Things like Aunt Huang and grandfather-in-law are extremely special after all. What will happen to their concubine? …

In short, what I thought and thought in the past, once I become a relative, I really have to let it go. Now I think about it, it's like every family wine.

The younger brother is also somewhat interested in things now, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with the things she wanted his younger brother to accept before. Everything came from that "barbarian" named Ning Yi.Ning Yi is currently her master, and it would be disrespectful to call him a barbarian, but that was a habit formed last year, and now it is only used for occasional slander.

This master is called the number one talented person in Jiangning, he is not just trying to gain fame, his talent and learning are nothing to say, he is in his early 20s.But he is not serious at all, his lectures are casual, his attitude is loose, he doesn't look like a teacher in class, and he always tells some small stories in the market, which often makes everyone laugh, just like a storytelling teahouse.It's not at all like the seriousness of grandpa's son-in-law, and I don't know how the two of them became friends.

To be honest, she admires that barbarian's talent after all. Whenever he makes thought-provoking remarks, sometimes casually saying things will make people amazed.Not long ago, because of what she was thinking, she asked casually in class, "Why do people have to get married?" In Zhou Pei's mind, such things as getting married and inheriting the lineage are also things that do not need to be discussed. I really want to talk about it. , These truths about the Dao of Human Relations, anyone can quote the scriptures and say it, and she doesn't know why she suddenly asks it.

The students in this class that Ning Yi is currently teaching are generally younger. Since the Su family is run as a private school, there are also several little girls, Zhou Pei's age is the oldest.But when a girl of hers asked this sentence, there was silence in the classroom, and all the children blushed.Only Xiao Junwu nodded: "Yes, yes, why, those girls hate them the most, they cry all the time..." Xiao Junwu has a gentle personality, and is more liked by his sisters and sisters among his relatives, but I can't think of him My feeling is this, as soon as these words came out, the girls from the Su family over there turned black.

"I hate you too!"

"I won't play with you."

Xiaojunwu quickly explained, and the scene was chaotic.Zhou Pei actually regretted the question when he asked. He expected that the answer would be simple for Master, but he didn't expect Ning Yi to think for a while and say something that made everyone stunned.

"There is a saying that is more interesting..." Ning Yi smiled and began to speak, the classroom became quiet, everyone raised their heads and listened carefully, but Ning Yi pointed at Xiao Junwu, "For example, Jun Wu Well, you are now the only child at home, with only one sister, no other brothers and sisters."

Jun Wu nodded vigorously.

"This situation requires you to have a father, your father has a son, your grandparents, they must give birth to a son, and that is your father, your grandparents, and you must also have a son, your grandfather, Then, the previous generation, the previous generation... and so on, thousands of years ago, do you know how lucky you were?"

After all, the children's comprehension ability is still a bit poor, Ning Yi waited.

"Let's think about it, it may be a little strange, but if you are an ancestor of yours thousands of years ago, what would you need to pass down your blood from generation to generation. Jun Wu, you want to get married, and you must give birth to a son. Come."

Jun Wu blushed for a while, and the children all laughed.

"Your sons must be married, they must have a son, your grandson must be married, and also a son must be born, your grandson's grandson ... until your father, he must be married, and then be born a son Come, you will be who you are now. We are all here, a bloodline, thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of generations of people, each generation, they must have a son, and each generation must be born son……"

"Look at Uncle Huang, who sells noodles on the street. Their family has no children and no daughters. For example, they have been very sad recently. The only seedling of the Qi family went out to run a business. Come on. Last year, a lot of people and children died in the flood. There are many, many people. It took thousands of years to spread here. In the middle of it, all kinds of things will happen. , gave birth to a daughter, and now there is no more of you, or, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, after all, there have been many turbulent times. Your ancestors of a certain generation encountered military disasters and natural disasters and died before leaving children. This is also very possible. …”

"However, in such a dangerous process, hundreds of thousands of couples, our ancestors, none of them died before giving birth to children, and... they all gave birth to boys, thousands of couples Ah, all have boys, and their children have to have boys. Your mother's blood line too, your grandparents have to have daughters, and then onwards, grandma's parents have to have daughters... Every generation has daughters, daughters You have to give birth to daughters, all of them have daughters, the possibility is even smaller, who wants a daughter? Your family prefers sons to daughters..."

Ning Yi smiled: "Everyone, you will feel that it is a matter of course for you to be here, but think about it, everyone's ancestors have gone through many generations and avoided many dangerous possibilities. This bloodline, they The generation has not been broken. It is passed on, passed on, passed on, passed on... It was finally passed on to you, how lucky you are, so you may feel that the blood in your body, with your father , grandfather, and even the connection between generations of ancestors. They have gone through untold hardships to let this bloodline pass down to the present, and then with you, this is thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, tens of thousands of years of hard work, you guys I can't bear to let it break like this..."

Almost all of the children in the classroom were stunned, some understood, some did not understand, and some only understood a little.Zhou Pei understood it. She had heard many things said by her grandfather when she was a child, and had read many poems and pictures. Originally, she thought she understood what grandeur is, such as countries, such as the Great Wall, such as the Silk Road. Ah, for example, her favorite "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" and "Sleepwalking Tianmu's Farewell", but no matter how magnificent and gorgeous things are, they can't compare to what I heard today.

She could almost feel that the two bloodline lines that started thousands of years ago—no, even from the beginning of the world, when there were human beings—can be drawn over thousands of years ago and remain in her body, so that For thousands of years, it has not stopped for a moment.

To be able to say such things lightly, this teacher of mine... is indeed a very powerful person.

But when he was talking about this kind of thing, even the slightest rhetoric was useless, which made her almost hate him.How could he do this!
