Chapter 116: The Continuation of Life
"Jiarui, is there anything wrong with you coming in?" Shi Bufan asked.
Recently, Qin Jiarui has been in charge of dealing with those tea leaves, especially the tea leaves that will be traded to the Turks, so this tea is very important. Once the Turks like to drink tea, I am afraid that it will be poisonous. I can't quit the same. This kind of tea is an irresistible temptation for the Turkic people who have been eating greasy meat for a long time, and this tea will not have no market in the Turks, but a bottomless pit of tea, devouring a large amount of tea. Qin Jiarui knew that this tea had reappeared in the market, so he naturally had to be busy.
However, what is going on at this time?
"I have it!" Qin Jiarui suddenly said again.
Shi Bufan asked rhetorically: "Are you in trouble?" Who is so blind-eyed? ”
"No, I'm pregnant!" Qin Jiarui said.
"What?" Shi Bufan exclaimed.
Shi Bufan thought about it, he really didn't expect that Qin Jiarui was pregnant? Does this mean that I have my first child in this era? It's such a coincidence that I actually have a child? Is this a continuation of life?
There is no doubt that children are the continuation of their parents' lives. Shi Bufan also thought about when his child would come, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly, which surprised him. If your woman is pregnant, it's a thing worth celebrating!
"Really?" Shi Bufan asked.
"Hmmm! I've been tired all the time doing things today, and even wanted to vomit a few times. I thought it was sick, so I went to see a doctor. As a result, it turned out to be pregnant, which is considered to be a joy! Qin Jiarui said with some embarrassment.
Only then did Shi Bufan remember that he had almost had sex with Qin Jiarui some time ago, but he didn't know when to give a "shot hit", and he was pregnant? But this is also a good thing for Shi Bufan, who can be regarded as having his own children. With your own home and your own children, it can be regarded as completely stable in this era. In this era, it can be regarded as a continuation of life, and after having your own children, you can be regarded as truly integrating into this era.
And at this time, Dugu Daxue also asked a little lightly: "Sister Jiarui, are you pregnant?" That's okay too! ”
Dugu Daxue's tone couldn't tell if he was angry or what, as if it had nothing to do with him. Shi Bufan knew that Dugu Daxue was not the kind of woman who could accept it unconditionally, but made a happy look for Shi Bufan. There may be women in this world who don't eat, but there are absolutely no jealous women. Qin Jiarui is pregnant, Dugu Daxue can acquiesce, it is already very good, do you still expect her to be as happy as if she is pregnant? This is obviously impossible, but Dugu Daxue now treats it as if it has nothing to do with him.
"However, this pregnancy is not the right time, you are in filial piety, if it is not appropriate!" Dugu Daxue teased Shi Bufan, obviously not satisfied with Shi Bufan's relationship with other women in the so-called filial piety, which resulted in pregnancy.
But counting the days, if you are born ten months later, it can be regarded as passing the period of filial piety, and it can be regarded as barely passing. If he was born within the period of filial piety, it would be a big scandal. So it's September at the moment, and ten months later, that is, July next year at the earliest, that can be considered to be born after the filial piety period, and it can barely be fooled.
However, Shi Bufan didn't have the idea of being so strict with filial piety for the so-called parents, anyway, in fact, he didn't know the ontological parents, and it was completely nonsense to say that he had any feelings. What kind of gratitude, this is nonsense, it's already great that he can delay the marriage for them, does it still restrict him from having relationships with other women?
But fortunately, Dugu Daxue's ancestor is Dugu Xin, and he is already a Sinicized minority, so there are naturally no such strict rules for this filial piety, so it was just a joke, and he didn't say too much.
"Jia Rui, you can rest for a while during this time, don't worry about it!" Shi Bufan said.
"Hmm!" Qin Jiarui nodded, obviously agreeing, this is the first time to be pregnant, and she is about to become a mother, which is very important for any woman.
Shi Bufan is not afraid of not being able to afford it, and their family is not poor, even if they have a few more children, they can afford to raise them. However, at present, Shi Bufan still asked Qin Jiarui to rest, and then give birth to the child as soon as possible.
However, Dugu Daxue said at this time: "Sister Jiarui, husband, I think in what capacity will this child live in our house in the future?" Is it a nephew, or a concubine? ”
Dugu Daxue suddenly "satirized" the relationship between Shi Bufan and Qin Jiarui at this time, although Shi Bufan and Qin Jiarui are people who can sleep in the same bed, but the identity announced to the public is Sister Qi and Brother Qi, which is naturally a "sister and brother" relationship. The reason why this has such a result is because Qin Jiarui is unwilling to be an extraordinary concubine, because there is no difference between being a concubine and a slave. Give up your wealth to be a slave, you don't have a sick brain, right? Therefore, from the perspective of the law of the Tang Dynasty, his Shi Bufan and Qin Jiarui did not have any family relationship.
However, hearing this, Qin Jiarui's face suddenly turned pale. She was reluctant to enter the Shi family at that time, because she could not be willing to be a concubine, and a concubine was almost a slave, not to mention wealth, and her life might not be better. Once you become a concubine one day, the results will not be too good in the future. Qin Jiarui is not the kind of woman who has no wealth, so naturally she will not be willing to be a concubine. But now it's embarrassing, if you do it yourself, what will happen to your children? If the name is not right, then how to enter the door of Shi's house?
If it is a concubine, then you can still enter as a concubine, but if you don't even have the identity of a concubine, then how does it count?
"Also, if it is a man, how will the family business be counted in the future?" Dugu Daxue asked.
Dugu Daxue is currently most worried about this, she and Shi Bufan have not officially fulfilled their marriage, so if this Qin Jiarui gives birth to a son first, how will it be solved in the future? Especially when it comes to inheriting the family business, not only men are concerned, but women also want their sons to inherit the family business. Originally, according to the primogeniture inheritance system of the Tang Dynasty, there was naturally no problem with this. But Dugu Daxue has not officially passed the door, and he has not given birth. Even Dugu Daxue and Shi Bufan have never really had the same room, so it is impossible to have children.
Once Qin Jiarui's child is born first, and it is a boy, the identity of this child will be embarrassing. Is it a son-in-law, or a concubine? What's even more terrifying is that Qin Jiarui is not a concubine, she is not even a concubine, which means that her identity is out of the constraints of the patriarchal system of the Tang Dynasty, which is too flexible. With such a big flexibility, it may even threaten Dugu Daxue's own children in the future. As the daughter of a big family, it is impossible not to know this, especially to fight for the interests of their children, which is something that every daughter of a big family has no teacher for. Even if Dugu Daxue has not yet married and interacted with Shi Bufan, he must remove this possibility. This is already something that the daughter of a large family has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and it is not so easy to remove.
Shi Bufan also thought about it and said: "In that case, the so-called brothers settle accounts, and it's not bad that the matter has already been explained." I don't want to challenge the practice of inheritance by the eldest son, but I think that the eldest son can only inherit the property in my name, as well as the property that you will marry in the future. As for the properties in other people's names, they will all be handled by themselves at that time. As long as we talk about it, we can live a good life in the future. Otherwise, if you make the chickens and dogs restless for these things, then you can't make a family. I don't want you to be like sisters, but at least don't tear each other down, okay? ”
Shi Bufan's words actually mean very obviously, that is, there is no idea of challenging the primogeniture inheritance system. This kind of primogeniture system, not to mention this era, is very remnant even in later generations. Even in the political and business families of the 21st century, the eldest son is preferred when choosing the core heir, and other sons will only be considered when the eldest son is really too muddy. This practice of giving priority to the eldest son has a deep cultural gene. Not to mention China, foreign countries also generally give priority to the eldest son, so in this situation where the whole world has a deep foundation, Shi Bufan has no idea of challenging the rules.
Of course, time is not so unfair. Now this Dugu Daxue is worried about the future inheritance, which is normal. In fact, even Shi Bufan thinks that this kind of thing will be solved sooner rather than later, if it has always been unwilling to decide directly, then this will affect the relationship. In particular, Shi Bufan has seen a lot of legal disputes about inheritance, which are often chicken feathers, and then go to court.
However, some smart people have been separated from their children in middle age. In middle age, it was agreed to inherit the share, and then everyone discussed it, so that everyone did things separately and avoided a lot of conflicts. Sometimes Chinese are too particular about face and feelings, saying that discussing inheritance issues in middle age is a loss of face and a curse for the old man's early death.
However, there are many examples that prove that the sooner you decide on this kind of inheritance, the better. Only if it is determined as soon as possible, then everyone will avoid a lot of long-term conflicts. Make a decision early, so that everyone dies sooner. Although the brothers and sisters may not be able to remain close to each other in the future, at least they will not turn against each other.
Therefore, Shi Bufan thinks that it is better to solve this matter as soon as possible.
"In the future, my title, the property under my name, Yongye Tian and so on, will also be handed over to my son-in-law to inherit, that is, Daxue, you and I will be the future sons, this is for sure. However, if it's not my property, you shouldn't move around, understand? Shi Bufan asked.
Qin Jiarui was relieved when he heard Shi Bufan's words. Qin Jiarui is most worried that the industry he worked hard to get out will be "robbed" by Dugu Daxue, so Qin Jiarui wants to cry without tears. This is also one of the reasons why Qin Jiarui is unwilling to be an extraordinary concubine, once she becomes a concubine, the property under her name has no security at all, and it is likely to be taken away easily, even the laws of the Tang Dynasty will not support him as a "concubine". Concubines have no human rights, this is for sure, so Qin Jiarui is not stupid!
As for whether he trusts Dugu Daxue's character, Qin Jiarui still can't believe it. In the face of wealth and power, fathers, sons and brothers can kill each other, not to mention that Qin Jiarui and Dugu Daxue are not sisters. Sisters are unreliable, let alone "sisters" like them, which is even more unreliable. Qin Jiarui is no more trustworthy than Dugu Daxue, and even Shi Bufan is not sure, Dugu Daxue will plunder the property under Qin Jiarui's name for the sake of his son?
Don't look at the generosity when you are young, but once you get older, then you will inevitably have to think about your offspring, and Dugu Daxue may change at this time. When a person is young, middle-aged, and old, the mentality is different. Qin Jiarui can't trust Dugu Daxue, and Dugu Daxue is not so trustworthy to Qin Jiarui. Don't say anything, Dugu Daxue and Qin Jiarui are both "sisters", but this kind of sister may not be as trustworthy as a stranger! Those so-called pig's feet women are like sisters, and there is no contradiction at all, and it is really impossible to do it at that time. There are too many contradictions in this, not only in terms of emotional rivals, but also in the competition for children's inheritance. Whether it is from the interests of affection or wealth, they are opponents, and it is impossible to expect them to be like sisters. Sometimes it is better to talk about it as soon as possible, which is conducive to easing future conflicts and preventing them from having too many conflicts in terms of inheritance.
"In the future, most of the properties under Qin Jiarui's name will be inherited by me and her children, even if it is my sister-in-law. This kind of thing should be discussed in advance, so that it will be beneficial to everyone. Otherwise, if you don't have a home in the future, it will be a big loss because of a small loss. Determine the scope as soon as possible, and then everyone can live a good life in the future. I don't expect you to be like sisters, but don't be like your enemies. I'm going to draw up an agreement now, and you can sign it. In this way, everyone makes a guarantee that they will not interfere with each other's inheritance, such as inheritance. In this way, everyone also has a guarantee that they will not worry about others robbing it. Shi Bufan said.
After a while, Shi Bufan blew the agreement that the ink had not yet dried, and their "husband and wife" had agreed on the scope of inheritance in the future. Dugu Daxue must be born to a son-in-law, inheriting the title and political resources under Shi Bufan's name, and inheriting the property that Dugu Daxue married. Then Qin Jiarui's children inherited all the commercial properties under Qin Jiarui's name, so that the problem was solved early.
Shi Bufan looked at the two women who were both relieved, and they were finally relieved, and secretly thought: "Even if you have a child, if you have a child, you will have a continuation of life." But there are also many troubles! These two women, don't look like they seem to have no contradiction on the surface, but they just don't touch the core interests between them. If Dugu Daxue wants to touch Qin Jiarui's industry, then Qin Jiarui will definitely turn his face. But if Qin Jiarui wants to snatch away his wife and sister-in-law and the privileges that his future son-in-law has, then Dugu Daxue will also turn his face. ”
"This kind of thing, it's better to talk about it as soon as possible, so as not to make the chickens and dogs restless in the future! Some customs still have to keep pace with the times! This kind of early determination of the scope of inheritance may also be an effective way to resolve future inheritance disputes. At least, I don't want these women to be like sisters, but I just don't turn against each other. Like a sister, I can't do it, but I can only let them not turn against each other, and I can't say that the whole family is restless. (To be continued.) )
