Chapter 552: Where There's a Will, There's a Way
"This is good! It's good, and it's easy to write! Liu Fei'er understood, a little happy, and looked at Geng Xiaofan.
Geng Xiaofan's face was pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
"Husband! What's wrong? Is this word bad? Geng Yi! It's very smooth, and it's exactly what you mean! Liu Fei'er was a little strange, not only was she strange, but Yang A and Wang Yanshi were also surprised by his expression.
"Good! Very good! Geng Xiaofan came to his senses and agreed.
"What's wrong with you? If there's anything wrong, just say it. Yang Ah felt that her husband had "stolen" Geng Xiaofan's limelight, which made him somewhat unhappy.
"It's okay! Very good, that's the word! It seems that providence so! Geng Xiaofan returned to normal.
"Yi'er must grow up healthy and healthy, and inherit the advantages and benefits of grandpa and father when she grows up!" Liu Fei'er hugged her grandson and became happy again.
In the evening, after settling everyone, Liu Feier followed the light to the study. She saw that Geng Xiaofan was a little restless all day today, and knew that he must have something on his mind.
At this time, Geng Xiaofan was sitting alone in the study, and in front of him was the big word "弇" that Wang Yanshi wrote today. On the top of the character 弇, the words "condition" and "贶" were also written, which he added.
"Is there something wrong?" Liu Fei'er gently sat down beside Geng Xiaofan, tilting her head to look at the white silk.
"I finally know who I am." Geng Xiaofan put down the white silk and took Liu Fei'er into his arms.
"You're so weird today. What's the nonsense? Why don't you even know who you are? Liu Fei'er reached out and touched Geng Xiaofan's forehead, afraid that he was happy to be sick because of his grandson.
"Geng's family, surnamed Shang Wang Zuyi, was first sealed in a place called Geng. Later, because of the surname, my ancestor moved to Julu. Emperor Xiaowu moved the country to Fufeng Maoling, and my ancestors moved to Maoling. Geng Xiaofan explained softly to Liu Fei'er.
"As you said, it was your fifth ancestor who moved to Maoling, and it has been more than a hundred years now." Liu Fei'er didn't understand why Geng Xiaofan suddenly talked about his ancestors.
"Yes! In the following two thousand years, although many people surnamed Geng moved to other parts of the country, my family has remained in Maoling. I was born there, and there is an ancestral hall in Gengjia Village, which I used to play there when I was a child. There are enshrined the ranks of the ancestors and ancestors, and my grandfather often told me about the great achievements of the ancestors. Geng Xiaofan continued to speak calmly.
"Oh! I see, you're talking before you come back. Liu Fei'er realized that Geng Xiaofan was not talking about the present, but about the 21st century.
"There are no big names in the ancestors surnamed Geng, the first and most famous is Geng Yi, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai under Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu."
"Ahh Liu Fei'er exclaimed! His voice trembled a little, "Yes, could it be Yi'er?" ”
"It's too uncommon. Do you think there will be a second Geng Yi? Geng Xiaofan smiled bitterly.
"So, what is the name of that Geng Yi's father? What is grandpa's name? Liu Fei'er was a little excited.
Geng Yi's grandfather didn't know that according to the historical records of later generations, his father's name was Geng Qian, but it was just a matter of circumstances. I didn't expect that Zhen'er's character is too rare, and it has been abbreviated into a commonly used word by later generations! ”
"Oh my God! They, they're all famous? Liu Fei'er trembled all over, and she couldn't sit still.
"Yes! Especially Yi'er! There is an idiom in later generations that still arises because of him. "Geng Xiaofan is still very knowledgeable about his ancestors.
"Really? Which idiom? ”
"Where there's a will, there's a way! There is a special biography in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", saying that he has loved the art of war since he was a child, and he showed great talent and strategy at a very young age. When following Liu Xiu to fight, he often attacked the east and the west, surrounded the points to send reinforcements, and defeated the strong with the weak. Many of his exploits even Liu Xiu felt incredible, and praised him with a sigh, where there is a will, there is a way! ”
"Wouldn't that be very, very good!" Liu Fei'er became inexplicably excited.
"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records the 200-year history from Emperor Guangwu to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, with 10 epochs and 80 biographies. You say, is he good or not? ”
"So, didn't you mention it? There would be no two of them without you! Liu Fei'er asked.
"Me? What am I? Geng Xiaofan smiled bitterly.
"Are you not paying attention? Since Lian Zhen'er has mentioned it, you should have it even more! You've taught them all their skills! Liu Fei'er's eyes widened.
"I don't dare to say anything else, Geng Yi's biography, I have read every word, after all, it is the deeds of my ancestors. I'm sure there's no mention of me in it, nor you and Hahei. They were born to you! ”
"How many women can be recorded in the history books!" Liu Fei'er didn't care if she would "go down in history", but she regretted that Geng Xiaofan was not in the history books.
"So, when we later studied history, we had the idea that history is created by working people. It is thousands of ordinary people like you and me who have created history and created heroes and legends like Yi'er and Zhen'er. ”
"Then tell me what great achievements they have!" Liu Fei'er was happy in her heart, she didn't expect her grandson to become such a "great" figure.
"Yi'er was a young man who became early, and when he was less than twenty years old, he followed Liu Xiunan to fight in the north. The history books say that he is invincible and invincible. Their father and son both won Liu Xiu's trust and appreciation, and they were crowned marquis on the same day, which became a good story for a while.
The Geng family flourished in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there were many people with outstanding military achievements among the descendants of Yi'er. Many years later, there was also a Geng Gong, although he was only a captain, but he led 300 warriors to garrison Shule City, and resisted the siege of the Huns' 100,000 army for three months! When the food in the city was exhausted, they boiled their armor and ate their tendons and leather, and they would rather die than surrender.
In the end, the city was broken, and when Geng Gong led his troops to break through, he did not forget to bring the people in the city. When they retreated to Yumen Pass to make peace with the Han reinforcements, only thirteen of the three hundred warriors remained. But it was these thirteen warriors who broke the courage of the Huns, and no one dared to invade an inch of the territory of the Han Dynasty for a hundred years! ”
Geng Xiaofan couldn't help but get excited when he talked about the great achievements of his "ancestors". These were all "advanced deeds" that inspired him before, but he didn't expect that these people turned out to be his "descendants"!
"The Geng family is really a loyal martyr! I'd rather die than surrender! This kind of temperament, I believe Zhen'er has it! I didn't expect it to be passed down from generation to generation! Brother Fan, do you know how many generations it has been passed on? "Liu Fei'er was also infected.
"Generations of generations! This is already part of the soul of the Chinese nation. Although the Chinese nation has suffered a lot in the future, this spirit of loyalty and unyielding has always been there, and the Chinese nation has always relied on this spirit to stand forever among the nations of the world! The Chinese nation is a nation that can never be defeated! ”
