Chapter 063: Cousin, You're Finally Blind
Shu Hui waited there for Hongyu to get the sacrifice, but Hongyu didn't wait, but waited for the parents of Zhuo Mengling's two siblings.
Seeing this, Zhuo Menglong hurriedly introduced them to both parties, and first introduced to Shu Hui: "This is my parents and my sister. Then he introduced to his parents: "This is the ...... of Lantian County."
He hesitated for a while, but he didn't say that he was also his "big brother" because Shu Hui was "tens of thousands of years old".
The father of Zhuo Mengling's brothers and sisters has a clear face, except for the exquisite clothes and materials, he is simply a poor scholar, which is far from the rich businessman with a fat brain in Shu Hui's imagination.
And their mother's physical appearance is as outstanding as her children. Maybe because he had fallen asleep before, he didn't have much grooming in a hurry, and he looked more dignified and virtuous while being a little less graceful.
Both of them are less than forty years old, and at this time, Shu Hui greeted each other in both directions.
"Contemptible Zhuo Taiqing ......"
"Concubine Miao's ......" (Note 1)
"I've seen the county!"
Of course, there is a priority for the referrer, but it depends on the situation.
If we talk about it separately, who comes first and who comes after is directly related to the essential difference of who sees the salute and who returns the salute; And if you introduce each other immediately after, you will be introduced to your superiors by your subordinates, your juniors will be introduced to your elders, and your host will be introduced to your guests.
For Zhuo Mengling's parents, they have to give Shu Hui a gift according to their dignity and inferiority, but the order according to the eldest and youngest is the opposite. However, the rank of respect and inferiority precedes the relationship between the elder and the young, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years, and everyone except Shu Hui is accustomed to it.
"Uncle and aunt don't have to be polite, I have an equal relationship with Sister Mengling, just call me Shu Hui."
Shu Hui returned the gift. Zhuo Mengling's parents and brothers are here, and it is the time for the family to be reunited, so it is not good for him to stay here for long. When he turned around, he saw the red fish carrying the sacrificial basket to the door, so he beckoned her and went back to the house with her.
He wrapped the Cordyceps he had received earlier with the dark shelter and made a more dangerous summon first. This time, because it was not carried out underwater, the connection between the original Cordyceps grass was cut away and the heat absorbed into the air turned into a puff of fire and gas, which soon disappeared, and there was no slag left.
After getting the blueprint of Cordyceps, Shu Hui summoned seventy or eighty at once with sacrifices, and did not stop until the trace elements required by Cordyceps in the eggs were exhausted. A cordyceps is less than one gram, and the consumption is negligible.
Shu Hui looked at the wooden stick that only consumed one head, casually threw it on the desk, and grabbed a handful of about two dozen cordyceps: "Red fish, take these to the kitchen and have a look." Since Zhuo Mengling wants to decoct the medicine, there must be someone there, you let them use this cordyceps to stew the rooster that has been screaming and disturbing people's dreams just now, and eat chicken tonight. ”
Hongyu blinked: "Young Master, do you want to give my master a tonic?" ”
Shu Hui nodded affirmatively: "That's true." However, it is estimated that even if she wakes up, she will only drink some soup, we will divide half of the meat, and keep the remaining half for Ao Guang, and he will definitely be hungry when he comes back from his busy work. ”
After thinking about it, he commanded again: "Go and talk to Uncle Zhuo, let them not report to the official first, and we will deal with the matter of worshipping the turtle sect." ”
……
The next morning, when Shu Hui pushed open Zhuo Mengling's door, she didn't see her parents and brothers, and she was tired after staying up all night. At this moment, Zhuo Mengling was lying on the head of the bed in a daze, with her empty eyes open, motionless, and only a young man in white with some inverted cheekbones in the room was sitting in front of Zhuo Mengling's bed and talking to her.
When Shu Hui entered the door, he happened to hear him say, "Cousin, didn't you ever say that you would marry me, unless you are blind?" Now that you're finally blind, it seems that the heavens are going to fulfill us, so you have to talk and count......"
Hearing that his tone was very serious, not at all like irony, Shu Hui was surprised: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this person's brain, right?" As for him saying that Zhuo Mengling was blind, that was nothing. Methanol only destroys the optic nerve and optic nerve in a targeted manner, and it is not a problem to cure this small injury for the healing aura.
Zhuo Mengling was probably very angry when he heard his words, and finally had some expression on his face, but he couldn't distinguish a name faintly.
She replied in a hoarse voice, "Cousin, we are cousins, and when the new law comes down in October, cousins and sisters can't get married, why are you talking about this......
Shu Hui was completely relieved when she heard this, it seemed that she was just blind in her eyes, not in her brain.
His heart was open at the moment: "It is forbidden to marry direct blood relatives within five generations, as I expected, I have been waiting for this moment from the moment I talked about physiognomy with Yuan Tiangang." ”
Why is he so confident? In fact, it is very simple, since ancient times, the two biggest enemies of the monarchy are the ministers and relatives, and the relatives have deepened their status by constantly intermarrying with the clan, and the application of the genetic theory proposed by Shu Hui to the marriage law can be said to be a strategy to deal with the troubles of relatives.
As long as evidence can be produced, then the monarch will definitely pass this bill. At that time, it will not be so easy for the queen mother to marry her niece to her son and have a kiss.
Of course, Shu Hui's own things have always been concerned. It is said that Li Shimin specially appointed Si Nongqing Mendel to verify the genetic characteristics of the hybrid with broad beans, and the results confirmed the existence of dominant and recessive genes mentioned by Shu Hui; The "prophecy" that cousins will have a higher incidence of genetic diseases if they marry with their cousins, who took office just last year, has also been proven.
So with a wave of his hand, Li Shimin restricted intermarriage between cousins to no marriage within five generations, which was stricter than that of later generations. After this incident, it is said that the eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in praising it, but there were private rumors that those opposing recitals were also written by officials of the eldest grandson's lineage.
Shu Hui knew that the gossip was unreliable. Because he inquired before, the eldest grandson queen brother and sister were raised by their uncle Gao Shilian. They basically don't have any family, let alone nieces, so there is no need to care about this problem at all.
Before you do something, you have to think about who you will not offend. The eldest grandson's brothers and sisters shouldn't care about this, which Shu Hui is very relieved about.
If you don't want to marry the daughter of the Cui family, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to marry a daughter, but also a woman who can enter the genealogy of the ancestral family for five generations will not be able to marry. For example, Zhuo Mengling's cousins and Cheng Huaimo's cousins, if they still intend to get married after receiving the news, they will all get married before the new law is issued in October this year. Cheng Huaimo didn't receive any news, I'm afraid there is something hidden in it.
These are just appetizers, but the power of this thing is far from being revealed. When those families who claim to be noble and pure in blood suddenly realize that it is difficult for their children to find a spouse who is compatible and far enough to be related by blood, a new pattern will appear.
And this point is completely dispensable for Shu Hui, but it is a situation that Li Shimin, who could only compromise helplessly on the surname system, dreamed of.
Shu Hui touched her chin, walked to Zhuo Mengling's bed, and looked at her eyes steadily. The beautiful eyes were black and white, and seemed to be only slightly dim because of the emaciation, and it was impossible to see at all.
He looked at Zhuo Mengling as if no one was here, as if he smelled the smell on his body, Zhuo Mengling also looked at him, and there was a hint of expectation on his desperate face.
However, the young man with concave cheekbones in white felt that Shu Hui was an eyesore: "Where did you come from, go far away!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to drive Shu Hui away.
Shu Hui's face turned black on the spot, and he was hypnotized instantly with the precise use of the mentally handicapped aura he had tested on the two prisoners when he ate chicken last night: "What's your name?" ”
"Miao Renfeng."
——
Note 1: The question of pure preference for the self-proclaimed "concubine" was a matter of pure preference, and the ancients felt that the lower the self-profess, the more educated they were. Zhuo Mengling claimed to be a people's daughter in front of her, and she didn't avoid Li Shimin, which was not right, and she forgot to write it at the time.
