Thinking of his little nephew, this man sighed: "He was born with good blood, and with the teachings of his sister-in-law, this child will definitely be good when he grows up. At such a young age, he gives people a sense of maturity. I and I My eldest brother was not as stable as this child back then. The fact that this child has come this far shows how much effort my sister-in-law, including my father, put into the child."
"Although she is not the eldest brother's biological son, this child doesn't know it. She must be the sister-in-law. Unless she has no choice, she will not take the initiative to mention it to the child. Just as the grandfather said, this child is the flesh and blood of the Fan family. As the saying goes, it is better to cultivate kindness than to give birth to kindness. In any case, he will be raised by the Fan family in the future. As the head of the Fan family in the future, this child will definitely do nothing wrong. "
"With my sister-in-law's personality, I don't believe she can raise an ungrateful child. Father, you don't have to have any grudges. This child who grows up by your side is actually like your own grandson. The Lord's I know his character, even if he knows it is his child. But as long as my sister-in-law firmly objects, he will not recognize her. Otherwise, do you think my sister-in-law and the child can still stay in the Fan family? "
When the head of the family who had calmed down heard his words, he glared at him: "Aren't you a failure? You have followed me and fought against your grandfather since you were a child. You don't do anything I ask you to do. Let me do it. You practice martial arts, but you refuse to do anything no matter what. You have to write poems all day long and become a scholar. If you are forced to do it hard, a man of all ages will actually imitate others and run away from home. "
"I really don't know, what is there to do for that officer who is always scheming and scheming all day long? That makes you so obsessed with it? He set up a military aircraft department to handle daily military and government affairs for him. I haven't seen him, either. I'll transfer you to the military department. What's the point of being an equally poor state official in a place where even poor rabbits don't poop? My family doesn't expect you to make any money."
"Although our Fan family is not that kind of noble family, in terms of wealth and status, how is it worse than those families who only have the status of being a noble family, but are actually extremely poor? You are that corrupt official? I haven't seen the glorious ancestors in my family, but they have to get in a lot every year. What do you say about you at home? When will you, a rebellious son, let us worry? "
"I want to get you engaged, but you have been shirking it all day long, and you still refuse to get married. You are such an old man, and now you don't even have a queen. I don't expect you to take over the Fan family, and I don't expect you to do it. What an official position you have, give it to the Fan family to honor their ancestors. I just hope that you can get married soon and leave a real queen to the Fan family. Others say that the Fan family is too prosperous now and has attracted the attention of the imperial court."
"But I know that this is only part of it. Do you think your grandfather and I are really willing to hand over the Fan family to one person? In fact, your grandfather and I don't care too much about the distinction between master and side. As long as you have the ability and are a good person, We can all work hard to cultivate the right path. Even if the position of family head is passed down in the future, it is not impossible. As long as it is the Fan family, it does not have to be our eldest brother."
"It's a pity that the Fan family has now fallen into a situation where there is no successor. The Fan family has always implemented the method of elite training. Capable people are selected from each branch, and after painstaking training, they are sent to various Fan family branches. You have to go through a lot of hard training. Then you either return to work for your master, or you take over branches in various places. In order to cultivate talents, you are even sent to difficult places for training."
Having said this, the head of the family sighed and said: "In recent years, no matter whether it is the main family or the branch, there are fewer and fewer people to choose. On the contrary, there are more and more children who are greedy for pleasure. Not to mention those who are willing to work hard. There are fewer and fewer people practicing martial arts, and there are not even many people who are willing to do business. Among the brothers, there are more and more three wives and four concubines. There are more and more prostitutes and gamblers outside. many."
"Last year, your seventh uncle's second son took care of his wife and children outside, and also gathered people to gamble, and ended up killing several people. Nowadays, the internal struggle for power among various branches is getting more and more intense. Each branch is becoming more and more unscrupulous for profit. . I know your sister-in-law’s character and abilities well. She can’t raise a prodigal son like that. Besides, your sister-in-law is extremely smart and her bloodline is pretty good.”
"And that person can rise from a neglected prince to a powerful position now. He almost fought his way out of a dead end. Looking at his style of conduct and his methods, he is definitely a talent. With the blood of the two of them, the children they raise will definitely be good. No matter how helpless your grandfather is, he can only admit the matter. Besides, your sister-in-law has reached this point because of the Fan family. "
"If it weren't for your sister-in-law, she exchanged herself for the Fan family. Otherwise, do you think that the master can really tolerate the Fan family until now without talking about it, and has repeatedly supported it secretly before? Even if everyone in the Fan family knows, he did it for To deal with the Guilin County Prince's Mansion. But there are not many aristocratic families in Da Qi, but how many merchant families are there? Why didn't he support other aristocratic families, why did he choose the Fan family? "
"Even now that the Fan family has grown so big, and he felt threatened, he didn't suppress it so completely, and still left a sliver of a foothold. You kid, you don't have such a big face. How could your grandfather and I do this? Even if we knew , People are leaving a backup plan for their son, but what can we do. Not to mention that the child is extremely talented, but even if he is extremely stupid, we still have to do this."
"But although that child is extremely talented, he not only has the aura and wisdom of your sister-in-law, but also the intrigues and intrigues that his heavenly family may have had since he was born. But the problem is that in my life, you two brothers are the only ones. . Your eldest brother can no longer have children of his own. If I want to have a real Fan family child, the only one I can count on is you. This is not a high request. "
The head of the family's words caused the man next to him to fall into silence. And this person is none other than Fan Jian, who should have stayed in his post in Jiazhou. He was secretly summoned back from Jiazhou by his father a few days ago in case the imperial court might suppress the Fan family. Originally he didn't want to come back, but in the face of his father's urgent summons from three consecutive letters, he could only let the state magistrate temporarily replace him.
After he was transferred to Jiazhou, with the help of the Fan family, he got along well with that colleague. He originally planned to go back quickly, but he never thought that Huang Qiong suddenly passed through Xiangyang and was blocked at home. When Huang Qiong arrived at Fan's house, he didn't even dare to show his face. In his case, although he did not abandon his post and abscond, he could still be considered as leaving his post without permission. If Huang Qiong finds him in a place where he shouldn't be.
Moreover, he has such close contact with the Fan family that he probably no longer needs to be an official. Therefore, since he found out that Huang Qiong had arrived in Xiangyang, Fan Jian didn't even dare to leave this room. Fan Jian didn't want to answer his father's words, which were clearly urging him to get married. He was really a little reluctant to thank him for the marriage his father had arranged for him. The daughter of a merchant family, who doesn’t have the aura of a merchant?
He didn't want to live in calculations all day long. So he would rather find an illiterate woman than sleep with someone who plots all day long. He had always wanted to shirk the marriage, but not only did his father disagree with it, but his mother, who had always been spoiling him, also disagreed. This time he secretly returned to Xiangyang, mostly because his mother forced him to come back.
In fact, Fan Jian has always been envious of his brother and sister-in-law, who have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, practicing martial arts and studying together. But what happened today made him feel no longer even envious about certain things. . My sister-in-law, who is like a celestial being, actually did something like that. Although the sister-in-law's starting point was to save the Fan family, this still made Fan Jian feel really uncomfortable.
Especially that man, whom he regarded as his brother. He also knew that the Lord was good at this. But he didn't expect that the master's hoe would actually come to his own home. He knew that if his sister-in-law hadn't insisted, the Lord would never have allowed his children to wander outside. He never thought that the couple he once regarded as gods and goddesses would become like this.
The Lord is very clear about that preference. But before, he had never thought that his fairy-like sister-in-law would be involved. He doesn't want to get married now, not at all. In his opinion, any bullshit relationship is stronger than gold, it's all the same thing. But today's father's words, after looking at his father's face getting older and older after taking over as the head of the family.
When I think of my parents and brother, they have been almost infinitely tolerant of me over the years. Finally, Fan Jian sighed softly and nodded slightly. He expressed his promise to his father and the marriage that his father had arranged for him. But after he nodded, he inadvertently saw the sly smile on his father's lips. But even though he knew he was being tricked, he didn't care too much.
It was no longer possible for the eldest brother to have a child for the Fan family. Although his parents regarded their nephew as their own, Fan Jian finally chose to acquiesce to his older parents who wanted to have a biological child of the Fan family. In fact, when he went to Tongxin Renzhi County, Huang Qiong gave him two women. In order to make Huang Qiong feel at ease with him, he had already accepted them. It's just that he didn't tell his father.
Of course, he didn't think that with his father's surveillance of him, he wouldn't be unaware of his two concubines. But the problem is, he doesn't know if he has a problem too. The two concubines have been with him for several years, but they have never given birth to children. And he knew that his mother was the only father in this life. I still hope that my first child will come from my first wife.
Moreover, my father was very dissatisfied with the fact that he had taken concubines before he even married a wife. Although the Fan family does not object to concubinage, starting from his grandfather, all members of his family have been monogamous. Not only is the mother the father alone, but the sister-in-law has also proposed to take concubines for her brother many times in recent years, whether out of guilt or not. But the brother never agreed, and he was always alone with his sister-in-law.
Therefore, his father denied himself in every possible way. Although they had agreed to get married, they refused to get married. However, they had taken two concubines in advance, and they were always dissatisfied. And I heard that my father-in-law learned that he had two concubines, and he was sarcastic every time he saw his father. If it weren't for the fact that he was seriously injured and needed someone to serve him alone, his father would have dismissed the two concubines long ago.
Although he knew clearly that his father was playing the tenderness card with him and forcing him to get married, Fan Jian finally chose to acquiesce. Otherwise, what else can be done? Although my father has only been in charge of the family for a few years, the number of gray hairs on his head has increased a lot. My father has deep inner strength. Although he is over fifty, he only had a few gray hairs before. It has only been a few years, and half of my father's hair has turned gray.
Thinking of his father and brother working hard for the whole family, he was enjoying the benefits of the family and working quietly as an official in Jiazhou. His father's requirements for him have now been reduced to giving him a child with the blood of the Fan family. What else can I say? Let's make this marriage happen. Anyway, I can't escape from my father's clutches, so delaying in every possible way is just a desperate struggle.
