Chapter 2 Tang Family Tree
In addition to Tang Zheng's height of more than 1.8 meters and his appearance is so handsome, there are not many other aspects of his own hands.
Both parents are only working-class people in a small county, and the family lives in a dormitory of the transportation bureau and a Volkswagen sedan that has been driven for five or six years.
Such a family in Rongcheng can only be described as mediocre.
Even in the county seat, it can only be regarded as barely passable.
However, from childhood to adulthood, his classmates were very envious of Tang Zheng, mainly because of the way he and his parents got along like friends.
Don't look at the emperor's mother, Ms. Zhao Xiuli, who often beats and scolds this son, which does not affect his favorability at home at all.
The eldest son of the emperor is not just talking, and his status in the rivers and lakes is still stable.
Zhao Xiuli is the third in the family, with an older brother and an older sister above, and a younger brother below.
Tang Pengmin is the eldest on his side, and he has two younger sisters below.
Of course, none of this is the point.
The point is that the brothers and sisters on both sides of the parents have all daughters in the family, and Tang Zhengguang's cousin has five.
In other words, he is the only male of the Zhao family and the Tang family, the eldest son of the real emperor.
No matter how naughty he is and how average his grades are, he still can't change the fact that his grandparents, grandparents, uncles and aunts have spoiled him since he was a child.
Therefore, Tang Zheng's childhood was very happy, and he could receive red envelopes for the New Year.
Whenever his mother wanted to coax and confiscate his red envelopes, Tang Zheng dared to roll around for the New Year and call all the elders in the family such as grandparents to cry about his mother's tyranny.
Although Ms. Zhao Xiuli hated her teeth, she couldn't do anything about him.
Of course, as soon as the year is over, the number of mistakes Tang Zheng makes will suddenly skyrocket, and he will be cried wolf almost every day.
This is the price of pampering and arrogance, relying on the support of grandparents and grandmothers.
However, it is also because Tang is the only male of the two families, so he must be on time on every important day.
For example, grandparents' birthdays, grandfather's death days, Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingming Festival, etc.
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, who made me the eldest son of the emperor. ”
Sitting in the back seat of the public, Tang Zheng yawned with dark circles under his eyes, looked at the familiar scenery outside for a while, kicked his legs and found a comfortable position to continue to doze off.
What is the point of not cultivating immortals during the holidays?
Last night, I chatted with Lulu, Sisi, Qiqi, Huihui, and Duoduo until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, and was dragged out of the quilt by the emperor early in the morning.
When Tang Zheng woke up in a daze, the car was already parked in the yard of his grandmother's house.
The country is rich and strong, the countryside is rich, and the highway has long been opened to the doorstep, which is simply not too convenient.
At home, Tang Zheng often jumped his mother angrily, but in front of his grandparents and grandmother, he turned into a well-behaved, sensible and sweet-mouthed good child.
As soon as Tang Zheng got out of the car, he kept calling "grandma, grandma" from afar, and took the initiative to take down the large bags of gifts in the trunk, and ran over as soon as he slipped away.
"Old Tang, did you say that we held the wrong child in the hospital at the beginning, this son of a dog is treacherous, lazy and slippery, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the two of us. ”
Zhao Xiuli's teeth itched in the back, but in front of her mother-in-law and the two sisters-in-law's family, she was helpless against her own dog.
Tang Pengmin followed behind and smiled and didn't speak, he felt that his son's character was very good, at least he would have to suffer a lot less after he entered society.
Tang Zheng's two aunts are married in the next village and the other in the town, not far from home.
When Tang Zheng and his family arrived, lunch was almost ready.
After chatting enthusiastically for a while, the grandmother brought out a bowl of boxy cooked meat from the kitchen, and a bottle of wine and two glasses, and said, "Let's go to the grave to see the old man first, and then have lunch when I come back." ”
"Mom, I'll get it. ”
Tang Pengmin stepped forward to take the sacrifice from his grandmother Yue Zhilan.
The two aunts and uncles, as well as Zhao Xiuli, also stood up and prepared to leave, but no one went over to help Tang Pengmin get things.
According to the custom of the rural hometown, only men are qualified to serve sacrifices when they go to the grave.
At the time of the funeral, only the male in the family can hold the spirit card.
"Zhengzheng, you go to my rest house and get some incense paper money for your grandfather, in the cabinet by the windowsill. ”
After handing over the sacrifice to Tang Zheng's father, the grandmother looked at the eldest grandson with a smile and said.
"Okay. ”
Tang Zheng agreed, turned around and walked towards his grandmother's room.
Grandma's room was simple, with just an old-fashioned wooden bed, a wardrobe and a bookcase.
The room was very clean and the quilt was neatly folded.
On the bookcase were an old wooden comb and a round mirror, as well as a few books and some commonly used miscellaneous items.
My grandmother was literate and hyphenated, and I heard my father say that she used to be the daughter of a landlord's family, and then she had to marry her grandfather who came back from the army at that time.
Tang Zheng looked around the room a few times, and casually opened the bookcase drawer and rummaged through it.
"There are no two drawers, did grandma put the wax paper money in the cabinet below?"
This old-fashioned bookcase in the countryside is integrated with a cabinet and a desk, and there is nothing to find in the drawer, so Tang Zheng opened the small cabinet at the bottom again.
"Hey, there's a little box in the cupboard. ”
I didn't find the wax paper money, but I turned out a small red lacquered wooden box with copper sheets embedded in it, and it looked very old at first glance.
"I don't know what's in there. ”
Tang Zheng's curiosity was immediately hooked by this delicate red lacquered small wooden box.
I listened to the movement outside with my ears pricked up, and saw that my father and mother were still chatting and doing homework, so I looked at the door again, and carefully opened the wooden box.
"Hey, it turned out to be grandma's jewelry box, I thought it was some kind of treasure. ”
Tang Zheng opened the small wooden box and found that it contained a pair of bracelets, two pairs of earrings, and a small gilt round mirror.
These things look like old objects, they may be the dowry of her grandmother, or they may be gifts from her grandfather when she was young.
Satisfied with his curiosity, when Tang was about to close the lid and put it back in place, he accidentally saw a yellowed booklet pinned to the lid of the jewelry box.
"Tang clan genealogy?"
Seeing the four powerful calligraphy characters on the cover, Tang Zheng subconsciously took down the family tree and flipped through it.
It turns out that our Tang family is quite awesome, and our ancestors can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago. ”
After reading the genealogical summary on the first page of the opening chapter, Tang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and a strong sense of pride arose.
After roughly flipping through the genealogy, he found that the ancestors whose names were recorded on it could only be traced back to more than a thousand years ago, and the records of the early years were relatively vague, and only the records of the last few hundred years were slowly detailed.
Of course, the so-called details are only more font sizes, official positions and major contributions, like the grandfather Tang Zheng and the second uncle recorded on the last page, there is only a simple name.
Reclosing the genealogy, Tang Zheng remembered yesterday's mother's sentence for no reason, it would be a joke if any ancestor left tens of billions of inheritance to his father Tang Pengmin.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng held the genealogy and didn't know which direction to do a few random prayers and said: "The ancestors and ancestors of the old Tang family, the descendants of the unfilial descendants Tang Zheng kowtowed to you, please take time in the sky to bless my father Tang Pengmin, and let him be the director." ”
"If it is too difficult for the authorities, then bless me to make a fortune in the future, go to the peak of my life, and marry Bai Fumei. ”
"No matter how bad it is, leave some inheritance for our old Tang family's lone seedling, you don't know, now the price is too high, life is too difficult, if the old Tang family's lone seedling man accidentally beats the single, so that our old Tang family is broken, don't blame me at that time." ”
[The country left by Lao Tzu has been lost by those losers, and if you want to keep the inheritance, you can keep it yourself. 】
An indignant voice suddenly sounded in Tang Zheng's mind, making him tremble with fright, and his hairs stood up instantly.
"Who...... Who's talking?"
Tang Zheng subconsciously asked in a trembling voice in horror, but the voice that spoke just now never appeared again.
"Could it be that I'm having auditory hallucinations and scaring myself?"
Tang Zheng's heart fluttered and he looked around, everything was as usual, and he could still hear the sound of his mother talking outside.
"Where's the genealogy?!"
Just when his nervous and frightened emotions were not so strong, and he was about to put the family tree back in his grandmother's jewelry box, he looked down and saw that his hand was empty, and he couldn't even see the shadow of the family tree.
He clearly remembered that the family tree was still in his hand a few seconds ago.
"Damn, isn't it?!"
Tang Zheng's scalp was numb, and he almost peed his pants on the spot.
In the next second, the genealogy that disappeared out of thin air suddenly appeared in his mind, the pages of the book turned over, the golden light flashed rapidly, and finally the page turned to the last page, and the name of his second uncle, Tang Dahai, turned into a flickering and jumping gold.
"What's the situation, could it be that there are really ghosts in this world?!"
As soon as Tang Zheng's thought came to him, his eyes went dark.
