Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 66
According to records, when the Xue family moved out from the middle of Shu, they were called Shu Xue by the well-dressed families at that time. Combined with the customs and environment at that time, this name connoted contempt, and it was almost pointed at the nose. It's not my race.

It was in such an environment that the Xue family became the Hedong Xue family of the six surnames in Kansai. The hardships and efforts put in during this process were unimaginable for Xue Lang as a modern person.

Xue Zhi was obviously also proud of this, eloquently, with pride on his face, and in his words, he told Xue Lang one by one of those capable ministers and warriors in the science popularization ancestors.

Xue Lang sighed as he listened, it was not easy to be a child of an aristocratic family in ancient times, not only to learn cultural knowledge, but also to recite the names and glorious deeds of the ancestors.Not only must one have knowledge, but also be able to tell everything about the family. Being a child of an aristocratic family is also quite hard work.

With such a family history that stretches for hundreds of years, it is no wonder that the world today worships the family.The Chinese love to talk about history, and it is a habit and a pride to be able to throw out historical records when they say anything casually.Looking at other people's family history, and then looking at your own family history, doesn't the inferiority complex come?It's true that people are dead compared to others, and goods are thrown away when compared with goods.

Well, Xue Lang seems to have found another reason for himself to fight. In order for his son to talk about family history in the future, he can also pretend to be as aggressive as Xue Zhi, so he should work hard.

After Xue Zhi reviewed the glorious history of the family, seeing that Xue Lang also expressed admiration, he nodded in satisfaction and said: "Although my Xue family has produced many capable ministers, there have also been rebellious ministers and thieves. It is not far away. Say, let’s talk about the recent Xue Ju and his son, who also came from the Xue family in Hedong, but they only have high ambitions, but they don’t have the talents to match them, so they really should be killed!”

After talking about the glorious history, why did you start talking about the family scum?
Xue Lang couldn't react to Xue Zhi's intentions for a while, so he remained patient, and he didn't say much at all, just following Xue Zhi's words "uhhhh" to see what he wanted to say.

Xue Zhi said earnestly and earnestly: "Youyang, my Xue family has a prosperous family and a prosperous family business. From being looked down upon by the well-dressed family to being one of the six surnames in Kansai today, Xue's journey is nothing more than a self-reliant, self-reliant family. The way to build a family by knowing the etiquette and keeping the etiquette."

Is this to teach secrets? !

Xue Lang acted as an open-minded listener: "Brother Xie Xianhui gave advice."

Xue Zhidao: "It's not just pointing, but the same surname is Xue. Let's discuss it. Since the Duke of Zhou established rites in the world, the word rites has become the standard of conduct for a benevolent gentleman. I, Xue, have passed down etiquette poems and books, and I am no exception. .Young and old are orderly, maintaining orthodoxy is the way for a country and a family to prosper, does You Yang think so?"

Xue Lang didn't understand, but the eldest son inheritance system was indeed the foundation of feudal ethics, so he nodded and said, "That's what you said, that's right."

Xue Zhi immediately praised: "Good! From this point of view, Youyang is also a person who knows the etiquette and respects the etiquette. I think it will not be far away for your branch to prosper."

So what does this mean?Why does it always feel like something else?
Xue Lang's doubts grew even stronger.

Xue Zhi ignored Xue Lang's doubts, and suddenly changed the subject: "For a family to prosper, there must be no fewer children and grandchildren. Are you the only one left in the Youyang family?"

Xue Lang nodded: "I was the only one who came back by luck, and the rest of them have passed away."

Xue Zhi asked with concern: "Did You Yang get married in a foreign country?"

Xue Lang didn't intend to hide this point, and chose to tell the truth: "I once had a fiancée who left before me because of misfortune."

Xue Zhi said: "So that's the case. Have you ever had a room for a concubine or a concubine?"

Xue Lang is embarrassing, but he knows that in ancient times, families with real rules and origins valued their first sons and regular wives the most. Before they got married, they would not even accept a concubine, let alone a connecting room.

The aristocratic family regards concubines and concubines as the source of disaster for the family.Marriage is a good relationship between the two surnames. Before your family got married, you set up a house and a concubine room for your son. Where did you put the main wife?If a person accidentally has a concubine...is this a marriage?It's a feud!Which family cherishes and raises a girl who is willing to marry a man who already has a house and a concubine!Except for the strange rules of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Xue Lang didn't even have the intention of marrying a wife, let alone taking concubines. He simply said: "No. My family has cultivated and studied for generations, and the family tradition is clean and upright. There are no such things as common houses and concubines."

"Good! Good! Good! The family tradition is just right, the family tradition is clean and upright, and they know the rules of etiquette. Even if there is only Youyang now, the prosperity of the family business is only a matter of one or two generations."

Xue Zhi didn't know whether it was a real compliment or a fake one.Xue Lang smiled and cupped his hands: "Brother Chengxianhui Jiyan, it's too early to prosper, we need to lay the foundation first."

Xue Zhi said: "Youyang wants to lay the foundation, but it is extremely difficult for you alone."

As he said that, the smile on his face suddenly seemed to be a bit obscene, and Xue Lang's heart suddenly became more vigilant: "So, what does Brother Xianhui mean?"

Xue Zhi said: "Youyang, why don't you talk about a family relationship? The deceased is dead, and Youyang is here alone. There are no elders or relatives in the family, just like duckweed without roots. Without proof, alone, how can you relieve the loneliness beside your pillow at night?"

Fuck!How did the topic get here? !

This time, Xue Lang saw that the smile on Xue Zhi's face was not only obscene, but also exuded an indescribable aura. Not to mention anything else, with just such a smile, Xue Lang lost all thoughts and declined. : "I just came here, the personnel and affairs are unfamiliar, and the man's career has not been successful, why should I call it home?"

Xue Zhi waved his hand, and said with a mysterious look: "Youyang's words are wrong. Youyang looks dignified, and his belly is beautiful, so someone will know. No, Brother Yu was entrusted by others to tell Youyang a lesson. Are you dear?"

Someone knows...Xue Lang covered up by drinking water, and chewed these four words carefully, Xue Zhi seemed to think that Xue Lang was hesitating, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yu, I was a cousin who was the governor of Jinzhou at the time. He has a good girl in his family. Marriage, wanting Youyang to be your son-in-law, what does Youyang think?"

"puff!"

This is Xue Lang spraying!

Not to mention anything else, this is still worthy of his brother, and then he introduced his cousin's daughter, his cousin's niece to go on a blind date with him, what the hell, it's not a seniority, it's too careless!
So, Xue Lang said: "Brother Xianhui's niece, isn't she also my niece? Isn't it suitable?"

Xue Zhi had another wretched smile on his face: "Although you and I have the same surname Xue, we have been out of five clothes for a long time. It doesn't matter about seniority. My cousin, from the Hongnong Yang family, is a prominent family and unmarried. The match is his young daughter, who loves her like the palm of her hand and dotes on her very much. She wanted to find a good son-in-law but she couldn't. After hearing about You Yang, she was moved. My cousin's niece came from a noble family, she is beautiful and well-educated. If it's suitable, it's easy to match up with Youyang, to be a husband and to teach children, so what do you think about it?"
