In fact, for the small surname of Hyosuke Inoko, Kuroda Vocational High School still wants to stay in the Kuroda family, after all, he is a promising young man. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt's just that Higashihata Sada, who really only has this son, can only let him go home to inherit the family, and he can't let other families be heirs! As for the other children who can't stay, when they return to the family to inherit the position of head of the family, they can be regarded as helping the Kuroda family stabilize their rule.

Ansuke Motofuki name Kuriyama Riyasuke, Inoko Hyosuke name Toshihata Sadataka, Shinjiro name Takemori Jisada, Kuemon name Kinugasa Keinobu.

This Yamanosuke is the son-in-law of the Hijikata family, the former Harima country's wealthy family, and Kuroda Vocational High School personally gave the name Hijikata Suizo. At that time, Kuroda Vocational High School was still thinking about the children of the Kondo family, the Okita family, the Saito family, and the Yamanan family, and the children of the Yamanan family, should they also be given a nice name?

In the summer of the ninth year of Eiroku, in the Kuroda family's Honmaru Annex, Lady Red was about to give birth, and Lady Iwa brought many servants and a few experienced stable women.

Kuroda also came to the other courtyard in person, although Mrs. Hong's Ming country identity is special, but after all, it is the heir of the Kuroda family who will be born, and Kuroda still attaches great importance to it. The more children of the Kuroda family, the more likely it is that outstanding talents will appear, and the rule of the Kuroda family may be more stable, which is the simple idea of Kuroda Jitaka.

With a loud sound, the child should have been born.

"Congratulations." Kuroda said with a smile.

"Yes! Father, this is my third son. Kuroda Vocational High School is also happy, but it is not as excited as when Matsujumaru was born before.

"I just don't know if it's a boy." Mrs. Rock said.

"Mother-sama......" Kuroda Vocational High School was about to say something, but was interrupted by a second loud voice.

Kuroda frowned, "What's going on?" ”

At this time, Luo Ergou immediately ran over and said with a smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, Xiaohong was born, she is a twin, and both of them are boys. ”

"What did he say?" Because Luo Ergou spoke Ming Mandarin, Kuroda couldn't understand it.

"Father, Xiaohong gave birth to a pair of sons." Kuroda said with a smile.

"You mean you gave birth to two sons?" Mrs. Yan said in surprise.

"Yes, two sons, what should they be called?" Kuroda said with a smile.

"The big ones stay, and the small ones are killed." Kuroda gritted his teeth at this time and said.

"What? Father's ...... You, what do you say? ”

"The big ones stay, the small ones kill, the officers and guards, didn't you hear?"

"Why is that?" Kuroda asked excitedly.

In his time, in order to increase the number of children, women would go to ovulation injections, take ovulation pills, and do IVF before pregnancy, just to give birth to twins. He didn't understand why Kuroda wanted to kill his second child.

In the Warring States period, people believed that twin sons were very unlucky and would bring disaster to the people around them, because people only had one soul, and this soul was unique, and for people at that time, twin sons were souls that were split into two bodies, so one had to die to make their souls one. Same-sex twins, especially males, are believed to be the subject of hereditary strife, with one becoming the head of the family and the other looking alike being easily exploited to cause unrest. This concept continued until the early 20th century, so it is not surprising that Kuroda made such a decision at this time, solely to eliminate the possibility of civil strife in the Kuroda family.

"The twins are ominous!" Kuroda said.

"Father, there is no such thing, the birth of twin sons in the Ming Kingdom is a great joy, how can it become a disaster here?"

Kuroda Vocational High School doesn't know, in fact, in the Ming Kingdom, the twins also have the saying that they are bad omens. For example, during the reign of Kangxi Renyin (1662), Huang Shuxuan, the imperial historian, was ordered to inspect Taiwan and wrote the "Records of the Envoys of the Taiwan Strait", which recorded: "One birth and two men are ominous, and the children born are tied to the treetops to death, and move to other places." Ying Shao's "Customs and Customs" of the Han Dynasty also recorded that there were "taboo people who have three sons" among the people, believing that triplets are "like six animals and nuisance to parents".

And not only the Han nationality, but also among the ethnic minorities, there is also a tradition of leaving only one of the twins, and Goryeo and Europe also have the same record before civilization, which should be limited by the level of medical care, production capacity and other reasons! Such customs still exist in some ethnic minority areas of our country.

"I don't care what the people of the Ming Kingdom think, in the Wa Kingdom, this is a bad omen, and the Kuroda family can't tolerate such a disaster." Kuroda said resolutely.

Seeing the two arguing, Luo Ergou asked cautiously, "Son-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

"Father-in-law, my father said that the twins are ominous, and he wants to kill the little ones."

"What?" Luo Ergou was directly frightened and stunned in place.

When he came to his senses, the honest peasant rushed to Kuroda Itakaka.

Kuroda looked at Luo Ergou's appearance and unconsciously took a step back.

"You, a Japanese countryman, they are all my daughter's bloodline, why do you want to kill one, they are just newborn children, they are all very cute, why is it ominous. You Japanese people are really unreasonable! If you kill this child, kill me first. ”

"Kan Guard, what did he say?" Kuroda asked, not recalling the last time someone had confronted him like this. It seems that the close ministers believe in the government!

"Father, father-in-law said that these two children are both of Xiaohong's blood, and they have just been born, so there is no ominous."

Kuroda Vocational High School omitted all the disrespectful places in the middle, otherwise if Kuroda Vocational High School was really angry and killed Luo Ergou, he would not be a good person. And speaking of this matter alone, Kuroda Vocational High School is on the side of Luo Ergou.

"Wanji, but twins are indeed a bad omen!" Mrs. Rock said.

"Just because of such rumors, you are going to kill an innocent child who has just been born? This child is also a continuation of your bloodline! Isn't that too cruel? Kuroda said pleadingly.

"This ...... Master, what Wanji said also makes sense! If you kill that child, the child is too pitiful, and this child is also the blood of the family! ”

"This ......"

Looking at Luo Ergou who gritted his teeth in front of him, Kuroda Vocational High School who pleaded, and Mrs. Iwa who was reluctant, Kuroda Vocational High was still a little soft-hearted.

"This child can stay, but definitely not in the family." Kuroda thought for a long time before saying.
