After arranging for Sconda and other Chinese-speaking men, Marin called Caesar into his secret room and told him personally. After all, even if Sconda couldn't teach Chinese to others, what if Caesar taught Chinese to Angela and Felise himself? Therefore, Marin himself called, Caesar, and told him to keep it a secret.

"Son, these secrets are the last hole cards that Dad left you. If Dad doesn't come back this time, you'll have to wait until you're 16 to smash open this hut and take out the books. Remember, these books are written in Chinese, and you have to learn Chinese first! Also, it's not allowed to teach Chinese to others, not even your mother! Neither can grandparents! ”

When Caesar heard Marin's words, he was a little stunned:

"Dad, since it's so dangerous to go out, don't go out, okay? I'm afraid! ”

Marin was silent for a while, and then said with a serious face:

"It's Daddy's dream! Moreover, Dad has a son like you, so he can rest assured that he can go out and take a risk. And you, remember, don't take risks without a son in the future, you know? And, man, don't shed a tear! After saying that, Marin gently wiped away his son's tears.

Caesar pretended to be strong and nodded:

"yes, I see!"

But after a while, Caesar asked again in confusion:

"Dad, why can't you tell Mom the secret? Mom is also a very important relative! ”

Marin asked rhetorically:

"If I die outside this time, do you think your mother will remarry?"

Caesar thought for a moment and said with some headache:

"Hmm...... I don't know...... Caesar was 7 years old, and he had been in contact with many aristocratic families, so he naturally knew that many noblewomen remarried after their husbands died. Among them, the highest probability is probably the widows of those generals. After all, it is inevitable that the general will die before the battle. And if the generals are dead, and their wives are still young, the chances of remarrying are still very high. However, the young Caesar, although he knew this, did not want to believe that his mother might remarry. So, he gave such an ambiguous answer.

Marin smiled, knowing that Caesar had already figured it out, so he said:

"It seems that you have also figured it out, your mother is still very young. If I die outside this time, she may still be remarried. Think about it, if she remarried and had a baby with someone else, would it be your brother? ”

"It should ...... I guess so......" Caesar was a little unsure. After all, he was still young and didn't understand things thoroughly enough.

"It was called a half-brother, and it looked like a brother, but they were two families, and even their surnames were different. So, that's not your real brother, I can only say that I am related to you! ”

"Oh, but what does that have to do with the fact that I can't reveal my secrets to my mother?" Caesar asked with a look of wease.

Marin held his forehead, and then realized that his son was only 7 years old, and his comprehension was still very low......

So, he had to patiently explain:

"You see, if your mother remarries and has a baby with another uncle, then that baby is someone else's baby. Because, he does not have the surname Hoffman...... But for your mother, she is just like you, her baby, and she loves her the same...... Can you understand? ”

Caesar frowned, thought for a long time, and then nodded, and said:

"It seems like that......"

Marin added:

"Are you Dad's only son, or the eldest heir, what good things does Dad have, will you leave it to you in the future?"

Caesar nodded, this is easy to understand......

"But for your mother, it's different. I'll give you an example, you see, your grandmother has 4 sons, and your father is the second son, right? ”

Caesar nodded......

"According to the rules, shouldn't the good things of grandparents be left to your uncle Adler?"

Caesar thought about it, but nodded......

"That's right, your grandfather likes your uncle the most, because it is natural for men to like their eldest sons. However, your grandmother liked your father the most, and gave your father the inheritance of the Earl of East Friesland first......"

Caesar tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said:

"Dad, what do you mean - men like the firstborn, but women may like the younger?"

Marin was stunned for a moment, feeling that although this explanation was inaccurate, it also made some sense. So, he didn't care about right or wrong, and gave affirmation first:

"Yes, that's right. Men like the eldest son because the eldest son is the heir! This is not true. Because in general, only the aristocracy valued the eldest son, and the men of the common people probably liked the younger son. But Marin didn't have time to slowly give Caesar science now, so he gave the wrong affirmation.

"I see, you mean that a man will leave the good for the firstborn, while a woman may leave the good for the younger?" Caesar speculated with his childish psychology.

Marin nodded hurriedly:

"Well, that's right, that's right, Caesar, you're so smart! I asked you to keep it secret, just because I was afraid that your mother might not be the younger brother in the future if she shared those secrets with you, understand? ”

Caesar nodded thoughtfully, with a serious look, not to mention how cute it was.

Marin admonished again:

"Son, don't let your mother know about this. Otherwise, she would be very unhappy. "It hasn't happened yet, and Marin doesn't want Angela to be sad. After all, if she didn't die, Angela would still be a good wife.

"But I was upset to think that my mother might give my things to my brother who would not be my brother in the future......," Caesar said depressedly.

"Haha......" Marin laughed happily, holding up Caesar and saying:

"Where do you want to go? Isn't this happening yet? Your dad doesn't have to come back. The chances of me coming back alive are still very good on this outing. Only if something really happens to me can you guard against your mother. If I come back, we will still be a loving family! Do you understand? ”

"Understood...... Caesar frowned again, and then came out:

"The world of adults is so complicated......"

Marin:......

……

After that, Marin told Caesar not to show other ideas in front of Angela, and rehearsed for a long time before Caesar learned to pretend that nothing happened.

But Caesar was still young after all, and because of his thoughts, in the next few days, there was always a melancholy look on his brow. Fortunately, Marin helped cover up the past. Also, Angela didn't have any scheming and didn't notice this. Felise was more scheming, but Marin told Caesar to have less contact with this little aunt in the future, so as not to be seen by the other party.

After many days of personal instruction and training, Caesar finally learned the first lesson of the king - joy and anger are invisible......

However, Marin is also worried - is it too early to teach children this skill? If he comes back safely, what will this kid do if he uses this trick to fool himself? In this way, it will be difficult to educate later......

But he didn't have the heart to think about it anymore, after all, going to sea in this era is really not 100% safe. Instead of letting his son be cheated to death because he was too stupid, it is better to let him mature a little earlier......
