Chapter 114: Fake Son
"Can I eat another bowl?"
The tall and thin Kan Ling asked.
"Yes." Luo Cheng took his bowl and helped him hit the bowl again.
Seeing this, the little girl Wang Huiniang quickly took a few mouthfuls of noodles and stretched out the bowl, "I want it too." ”
"All of them until they're full."
"Thanks, can we still come tomorrow?" She took the bowl and couldn't help but ask again.
The tall and thin Kan Ling said to him, "It's enough to have a full meal today, and we won't bother us tomorrow." ”
Wang Huiniang sighed and lowered her head.
Ximen Junyi saw that her cousin was so lost, "But where are you going tomorrow, the weather is so cold, you can't get food anywhere." ”
"Actually, you can stay if you want." Luo Cheng picked up the spoon and filled another bowl for the other young man who came over with a bowl.
"Really?" Wang Huiniang's eyes lit up suddenly.
Kan Ling looked at Luo Cheng, "What do you want us to do?" We're so small, we don't meet the requirements of your countrymen. ”
"You're all orphans, aren't you?" Luo Cheng asked.
Several teenagers nodded with their eyes darkened.
"If anyone is willing to adopt you and raise you, are you willing?" He asked.
Kan Ling suddenly became alert.
He stared at Luo Cheng closely, but his slender eyes glowed fiercely like a wolf.
"You want to catch us and sell us?"
"No, you're mistaken."
Luo Cheng first smiled, then talked about his own township regiment, the reason for his establishment, their training, their suppression of bandits, their pacification of chaos, and finally the night of the pacification of the Zhangqiu Rebellion, in which seven friends died in the end.
"They're not much older than you, they're only thirteen or fourteen years old, but they've been buried in the ground for a long time. I promised their families that they would have a successor. If you are willing, I am going to adopt you and make you their heirs, are you willing? ”
"Do you want to change your name?" Wang Xiong asked.
"Try to choose a father-in-law with the same surname for you, but if it really doesn't match, it's okay if you don't want to change it, as long as you are willing to succeed in his name, what do you think?"
"If we say yes, will we have food in the future?" Kan Ling asked.
"If you become the righteous son of a brother who died in battle, then you are a member of our township group, as long as I Luo Cheng is still alive for a day, then I promise to raise you for a day."
Ximen Junyi asked at this time, "Can you take in my cousin, I promised my cousin that I would always take her to take care of her." ”
"Yes." Luo Cheng looked at Wang Huiniang, who was a little panicked, and nodded.
There were eleven children in total, the youngest was seven years old, and the oldest was eleven years old.
Wang Xiong is a little smaller than Kan Leng, and he is also eleven, Ximen Junyi is ten years old, and his cousin Huiniang is nine years old.
After eating, Luo Cheng led them to a corner of the camp, where a room was dedicated to the spiritual seats of the seven fallen township brothers.
The teenagers who came in scrambled to choose a tablet.
"Did you choose it? After choosing, you will be his righteous son from now on, he is your father-in-law, you must remember his name, and in the future Qingming New Year, you will burn paper money, incense and candles for them, and kowtow to them. ”
The children all nodded in unison, they only knew that if they grabbed a tablet, then they would become members of the township group, and they would have food in the future.
Kan Leng, Wang Xiongdan, Ximen Junyi and Wang Huiniang did not choose, and they have been standing by Luo Cheng's side. Maybe they already knew that there were only seven tablets in total, or maybe they were older and more mature, and gave up the opportunity to his other children.
"Little Five, what if there are four more?" Wang Ziming finished registering the seven children, and then looked at the remaining four people and asked Luo Cheng.
Kan Ling stared at Luo Cheng.
"You can stay if you want."
"Whose children are we, then!"
"We'll talk about it later."
Kan Ling suddenly said, "Can I worship you as my father-in-law?" ”
Luo Cheng smiled.
"I'm only sixteen, and I'm only five years older than you."
"But the stepfather they recognize is only four or five years older than them." Kan Ling said.
"Haven't you married a wife yet, if you die in battle one day, you also need a righteous son, so why don't you accept us as a righteous son and a righteous daughter." Wang Xiongtan said.
Luo Cheng stared at these guys, but he didn't expect them to have a very peculiar idea.
"What nonsense, dare to curse our little five?" Wang Ziming said angrily.
Luo Cheng shook his hand, "Tong Yan is unscrupulous, they don't know so many taboos, it's okay." ”
Wang Ziming snorted, "Then you can accept them as righteous sons and daughters, anyway, you plan to keep them." ”
Righteous sons and daughters are not uncommon in this era.
Even many times, Yoshiko's status is actually equivalent to that of the trilogy, and the status is not high. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, especially in the army, it is very popular to accept righteous sons, and some generals even have hundreds of righteous sons, which are actually equivalent to his personal guards.
Righteous sons generally have no right of inheritance, unless they go further and become heirs and stepsons, then they have the right to inherit.
Although Luo Cheng is still young and his family has not been successful, it does not prevent him from accepting a few righteous children, and he is not accepting heirs anyway.
It's just that Luo Cheng looked at those children, but felt a little joking, after all, he was actually only five or six years older than them, although he could indeed be the father of these children in terms of psychological age.
He was about to refuse.
Kan Ling and Wang Xiongdan knelt down directly in front of him, and then bowed their heads.
"The righteous son Kan Ling visits his father-in-law."
"The righteous son Wang Xiong paid a visit to his father-in-law."
"The righteous son Simon Junyi visits his father-in-law."
"The righteous father is above, and he is worshiped by the righteous queen Hui Niang!"
········
"Take it." Wang Ziming said with a smile on the side.
Luo Cheng looked at the few little guys who were kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, but they were rejected badly.
"Okay, I promised, get up."
"Thank you, father!"
The four little guys stood up happily, but Luo Cheng couldn't cry or laugh.
He really didn't expect that he would accept four righteous children at once, a sixteen-year-old father-in-law and an eleven-year-old son, which is also too funny.
But Kan Ling was very serious, and even Wang Ziming was seriously writing down the names of these four people.
"Father-in-law, are we going to change our name?"
"No need, it's good to call this name now."
"Do you want to take your father's surname?"
"I don't have to." Luo Cheng shook his hand, anyway, he accepted the four of them as his righteous sons, and he didn't really want to be their fathers, but he just took in a few children first.
"Father-in-law, I can help you lead the horse in the future." Kan Ling looked cold on the outside, but at this time, he actually flattered Luo Cheng.
"Father-in-law, I can help you put on your armor." Wang Xiongdan also hurriedly said.
Ximen Junyi thought for a while, "Father-in-law, I can help you carry the hammer!" ”
"I can help my father-in-law make the bed and fold the quilt!" Wang Huiniang also raised her hand.
