Chapter 706 Qiu Xian
"Brother Liu, my father is the steward of the Yue family, so my surname is Wei, but our head of the family's surname is Yue."
Wei Wenbin was pulled by Liu Dameng's arm. He couldn't break away directly. He could only follow Liu Dameng at the front. Suddenly he heard Liu Dameng ask him in a low voice. He turned his head and whispered.
"I see, your father is the housekeeper of the Yue family, and you are the son of the Yue family."
Liu Dameng looked at Wei Wenbin who turned his head sideways, and then whispered to Wei Wenbin. When he talked about giving birth to a child, there was a trace of disgust and contempt on his face, but it was quickly hidden by him.
The term "home-born" has been around since ancient times. Especially in ancient times, some wealthy families used the term "home-born" to ensure that their subordinates were safe. Generally speaking, the family's sons were of low status, higher than slaves, similar to servants, and better than those who hired long-term and short-term workers. They have low status, but they are all servants of a wealthy family. The advantage of having children in a family is that they can gain the trust of the master of the family, because the whole family works for the master's family, and the household registration and deed of sale are also in the hands of the master's family, so the master's family can use it with peace of mind. , naturally became closer to the children of the family, and treated the children of the family much more generously. If there was a good opportunity, they would choose the children of the family first, but after all, they were still servants. Later, the Manchus of Yaoqing had a word called Clothing slaves are very similar to having children in this family.
"Exactly."
Wei Wenbin looked around and responded in a low voice, but there was a hint of unwillingness in his tone. After all, who doesn't want to be a master from birth? All roads lead to Rome, but who doesn't want to be in Rome from birth? , especially in this official-based society with strict status and hierarchy, if you are born well, you will be reincarnated, and you will have benefits that others can't even dream of. It will only torture you until you can't bear it anymore. It's just a walk in the human world. Some people come and enjoy life, while some people come and live a miserable life. Why is this all happening? So it's definitely a matter of resentment. of.
"It's such a pity. I miss you so much, but you have a son from the same family. It's such a pity."
Liu Dameng caught the reluctance in Wei Wenbin's tone. He spoke with sympathy, and while speaking, he reached out and patted Wei Wenbin's shoulder to express comfort.
"Oh, that's fate."
Wei Wenbin seemed to be really affected by what Liu Dameng said. He sighed, his eyes flickered, and he had a look of unwillingness on his face. When he spoke, his tone was very helpless, with a sense of resignation and sadness.
"Haha, brother, fate is not unchangeable."
Liu Dameng had a trace of pride on his face, stretched out his hand to stop Wei Wenbin's shoulder, and whispered in Wei Wenbin's ear, but his words were learned.
Destiny can be changed, that is to change destiny against the will of heaven. How can a child born in a family become a free citizen? That is, there is no master above him. Without a master, there is no freedom. Since ancient times, there are many examples of children born in a family becoming free citizens. All are the same. The better part is that we can get together and have a good time with the host family. The host family will give the child a deed of sale and household registration documents. Then the host family and the child will go to the local government to correct the household registration, and the child will become a free citizen. You can take the imperial examination and join the army, and then change your destiny. Some families have children who directly overthrow the master's family and then become free citizens. However, in this case, there must be a certain amount of external power. For example, if the family has a son who helps other wealthy families destroy their own master, family, or go to the government to report the master's family, and then the master's family will be beheaded and exiled. Because the son of his family has merit in reporting, he can leave the family and have children, or even become an official. These two situations have not been uncommon since ancient times. History books There are many ready-made examples on the Internet.
"Brother Liu, my father is the chief steward of the in-law family. As a son, I must fulfill my filial piety."
Wei Wenbin had a bitter look on his face. He looked up at Liu Dameng. There was a wave of confusion on his face, ranging from unwillingness to helplessness. When he talked about Butler Wei, he seemed to have thought of something, with a hint of bitterness.
"Well, I appreciate filial sons, but there is a solution to everything. If you think more about it, there will always be a turning point. If it doesn't work, just take your time. There will always be a time in life when God opens his eyes. Brother, time is long. .”
Liu Dameng was like a seductive and depraved devil, whispering softly in Wei Wenbin's ear. His words were words that left room for imagination, and every word you heard had a special meaning.
"Haha, Brother Liu, you don't understand the Yue family. The Yue family is not a simple family. It is not an ordinary small family."
Wei Wenbin shook his head and whispered to Liu Dameng with a look of helplessness.
"No matter how big it is, what can I do? This is the territory of our brothers and my Liu family. A strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake. Here, I am coiled by a dragon and lie down by a tiger. Don't worry. I'm here."
Liu Dameng looked indifferent and didn't take the Yue family seriously at all. In his opinion, there had been many experts here before, and some were more numerous than these people, but so what? Even if they had not been dealt with, even if one or two escaped, it would not be harmful if one slipped through the net. These people would only become servants of the Liu family.
"Brother Liu, do you have any good ideas?"
Wei Wenbin naturally heard that there was something in Liu Dameng's words. He didn't just think that he was from a lowly background and wanted to help him, so Wei Wenbin also wanted to make it clear.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll tell you when I get a chance."
As soon as Liu Dameng saw Wei Wenbin asking, he knew that Wei Wenbin had taken the bait. He looked up at the Liu Family Ancestral Hall not far away, reached out and patted Wei Wenbin on the shoulder, asking Wei Wenbin to calm down, and then led the people towards the Liu Family Ancestral Hall. Go.
There was no one at the door of the Liu Family Ancestral Hall, but when Liu Dameng approached, the door of the Liu Family Ancestral Hall opened on its own, and two young men came out. After they opened the door, they stood against the door. Then five more people came out. The leader was the head of the Liu family. He was surrounded by four old men. They seemed to be the elders of the Liu family, but there was no father of the head of the Liu family here. His father was the head of the Liu family. Last time, I was with the head of the Liu family, talking to the old man Wei Wenbin in the Liu family ancestral hall.
"Dad, the people Xiao Wei mentioned last time are here."
When Liu Dameng saw his father coming out, he quickly stepped forward and spoke to his father. While speaking, he also pointed at the Yue family members who were walking over not far away.
"Well, I saw it, stand aside."
The head of the Liu family stood upright with his hands behind his back. He nodded to his son Liu Dameng and motioned for Liu Dameng to stand aside.
"yes."
Liu Dameng responded and stood on the edge, watching the people of the Yue family walking over from a distance.
