305, the Cui family's wooing (above)
Jingwen helped Yuan Hua transform the grenade and the rocket, so that the two weapons could be traveled. In the future, Jingwen will set up a special grenadier, which is about the size of a company. And there is a rocket company left, which is responsible for firing rockets. And the last company of the firearms battalion is the company responsible for explosives, that is, the demolition company. As for the ordinary soldiers, each of them will also carry one or two grenades, which can be used when necessary. With these firepower strengths, it is enough for the Snow Shame Army to become the most powerful firepower army in this era. However, if you want to exert these combat capabilities, you still need to have enough training.
"Jieshuai, someone sent you a letter!" The orderly handed a letter to Jingwen.
Jingwen opened the letter, and then after opening it, it was a little strange. However, Jingwen quickly put away the letter and left the camp of the Snow Shame Army. And Jingwen came to Chang'an, entered the luxurious private room where he ate every day, and opened the private room.
"Mrs. Cui, what are you looking for me?" Jingwen asked.
This letter was written by Cheng Yanjin's fiancée Cui Shi, and Jingwen came here and found that in addition to Cui Shi, there was also that Miss Cui Ying was also here. This made Jingwen a little unsure of what was going on, because Cui's just asked him to come to the private room where he ate every day, and then meet them. And Jingwen is also out of the idea of befriending his future mother-in-law, and then he can easily get support in the future! But now, the atmosphere at the scene is a little wrong!
"Jingwen Festival Envoy, please take a seat!" Cui Shi took the initiative to say.
Jingwen also sat down and took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything that Mrs. Cui is looking for me?" ”
"Jingwen Festival Envoy, are you an orphan?" Mrs. Choi asked first.
Jingwen replied honestly: "Yes, I am an orphan and I was raised by my master. ”
Mrs. Cui then said with some emotion: "Orphans, naturally there is no family involvement. You may not know that we people in the big family, although outsiders are very envious. But how can we not be without our suffering, our helplessness? ”
"The siege effect? The people on the outside want to get in, but the people on the inside want to come out? Jingwen tried to ask.
"Oh? That's right, it's the siege effect. Outsiders may envy us who are members of big families, who are rich in food and clothing, and enjoy endless glory and wealth. But we also have our helplessness, that is, we have lost the most important freedom. The direct line of our high-ranking family has almost no freedom at birth, and since childhood, we have to read and write under the arrangement of our parents. Finally, prepare for taking over the family business. In fact, we don't have any freedom at all, and we have to do everything according to the family's arrangement. And men have to do a good job in the future competition, and they all hope to be in charge of the family business in the future, so that they can gain power. And a woman must be ready to sacrifice for the family at any time and marry someone she doesn't like. From this point of view, although we also have wealth, this wealth is exchanged for freedom. Cui said.
Jingwen didn't know what this Cui Shi was talking about when he first came. This Cui family actually talked about the helplessness of the big family with himself, an ordinary person, a person who couldn't even speak from a poor family. Isn't this playing the piano to a cow? And Jingwen now knows that these people will never play the piano to the cow for no reason, they definitely have their own purposes. But what is Cui's purpose, this makes Jingwen very puzzled.
"You should know. We are a big family, and there are many rights and wrongs. Moreover, our Cui family has a lot of resources and land. There are wealth industries, and even connections in officialdom. Moreover, our Cui family has a high status in culture, so our Cui family has a lot of resources. But. Among these resources, only the patriarch has the most control, so many people want to get the position of patriarch. And our Cui family is now headed by our father Cui Xin, who has seventeen children, eleven sons and six daughters. And there are four sons-in-law and seven sons-in-law. And fortunately, many of the sons of our Cui family have become talented, and the eleven sons are all very talented, and there is no one who is a gentleman! Cui said.
Jingwen immediately said: "Good thing! Isn't it a good thing to be a talent? Many people want to be a dragon! ”
Jingwen couldn't figure it out, everyone in the family has become talented, so of course it's a good thing. Parents of any era are looking forward to their sons becoming dragons, if their children can become talents, then the revitalization of the family is hopeful!
But Cui Shi smiled bitterly: "If for a family in the entrepreneurial period, all the children are talents, of course it is a good thing." But our Cui family has been in business for hundreds of years, and it has long been past the time to start a business. Our Cui family is now in the time of defending, and we don't need so many talents. Moreover, once a person has ability, it often brings ambition. When you can't open up, you can't unleash your ambitions. And as soon as the ambition grows, then the fight begins. You should know about the royal struggle for the throne, right? It's an open secret that the royal race for the throne is open. And although our Cui family is not royal, although the competition for the position of the patriarch of the family is not so bloody, it is also very remarkable. Once you fail, I'm afraid you will be cold-treated for the rest of your life. Not only will they not be able to control the rights of the family, but they will also be restricted from freedom for the rest of their lives. ”
Jingwen heard Cui's say this, and immediately knew that Cui's was exposing his family ugliness. At present, everyone in the second generation of the Cui family can become talents, but once they have talents, ambitions will be brewed. Now I am afraid that the sons of Cui Xin, the head of the Cui family, are staring at the position of the head of the family after Cui Xin's death, as if they are in a situation where Nine Dragons have seized the heir.
"Didn't you inherit it as the firstborn? Isn't it all about letting the eldest son inherit the family business now? Jingwen asked.
Cui sneered and said, "The eldest son inherits the family business? How many things have been able to do this since ancient times? How did the current emperor ascend to the throne, do you need to say more? ”
Jingwen also realized that the primogeniture inheritance system is not a very strict system, in fact, other children also have the opportunity to inherit the family business. Even the current emperor Li Shimin came to power by virtue of a coup d'état? Therefore, the inheritance of the eldest son is a nonsense, not a solid system. Moreover, the primogeniture inheritance system has not been able to be resolutely maintained from ancient times to the present, which has caused many people to breed undeserved ambitions. Therefore, in this case, Cui Xinbek's son wants to take the throne, and that is normal.
"Then what's the use of you looking for me?" Jingwen said.
"No, my eldest brother Cui Tan needs your support!" Cui said. (To be continued......)
