"Since Duguxin is my woman, then I am qualified to ask, right? You bully my mother-in-law and force my mother-in-law to give you something, how do you explain it? If you don't give me an explanation, then I'm going to have to tell you an explanation. Jingwen said.

Dugu Kaiyuan said directly: "I am here to ask for the token of the head of the family, that is, the war bow of my grandfather Dugu Xin, which is the token of our Dugu family, and only the head of the family can be in charge." Since the eldest brother is dead, then I naturally have to come over to take charge of the family master's token. ”

"General Dugu, if I know well in the Cui family, it should be the eldest son who is qualified to inherit the family business, and you seem to be Dugu Luo's concubine back then, so you should not be qualified to inherit the family business, right?" Cheng Lin asked.

Cheng Lin already knew from Dugu Xin that Dugu Kaiyuan was just a concubine, and according to the ancient rules, he had no right to inherit the family business. Therefore, if according to the ancient patriarchal law, Dugu Kaiyuan is indeed not qualified to inherit the family business, so it is naturally unreasonable to ask for the token of the head of the family. Therefore, Cheng Lin used the theory of concubine to refute, which is also a fatal one.

"But if there is no queen in the main line, I naturally have the right to become the head of the Dugu family." Dugu Kaiyuan also refuted.

Cheng Lin couldn't say anything, because theoretically Dugu had no other male descendants, so it was legal and reasonable to hand over the brother's branch to take charge of the family. Moreover, most of the Dugu family was also killed by Yu Wenhua in the Jiangdu Incident, so for the time being, it is impossible to find a person whose blood is closer than Dugu Kaiyuan, and the inheritance order is one step ahead. Therefore, there is no problem with Dugu Kaiyuan. Therefore, there is a problem at both ends, and no one can have absolute qualifications to inherit the family business.

However, Jing Wen complained in his heart that he was very disdainful of this kind of inheritance system. Jingwen still according to the ideas of later generations, the inheritance should still be shared. Even taking a step back, it is appropriate to choose an excellent person to inherit the family business. It is also necessary to choose from the powerful people, rather than this kind of bloodline out of thin air to choose inheritance. It's not all their own bloodline, but they are also divided into what kind of descendants and elders out of thin air, and even divided into many branch families. In Jingwen's eyes, they are all from the same family, and it is very normal to choose the head of the family from among the excellent people, as long as it is the same ancestor.

And Jingwen didn't know that he would have this kind of thought, which was actually caused by his life in the later life. Many systems in later generations were electoral systems, and they were represented many times in time, but the idea of elections has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Jingwen hasn't found out yet. In fact, there are many contradictions between myself and this era. If he is not ambitious, he will naturally not disapprove of this situation. But now that his status is getting higher and higher, he is very uncomfortable with this kind of life, which is the disgust caused by the fact that the ancient system is completely different from the world that Jingwen is familiar with.

Moreover, Jingwen is also very complaining about this clan concept. In fact, strictly speaking, even if Dugu Kaiyuan obtained the position of the head of the family, in fact, the Dugu family is their lineage, and there are two people, Dugu Xin's mother and daughter. In fact, the death of the Dugu family is scattered. It is impossible to find the separated family members for a while, not to mention whether there is still a question. Therefore, this little family business, those who want money but have no money have no power. What is there to fight for? The Dugu family has also declined, and the head of the family can't bring any big benefits, so why bother competing for this position?

"Who said that the father-in-law has no queen, isn't Duguxin a daughter?" Jingwen said.

Jingwen's words made everyone speechless for a while. Duguxin is also considered a descendant? In ancient times, it was said that there were no male offspring. No matter how Duguxin is, she is also a woman. It is impossible to inherit the family business.

Dugu Kaiyuan immediately asked: "How can a daughter inherit the family business?" Moreover, how can the daughter not be able to continue the descendants for the Dugu family, so how can she inherit the family business? ”

In ancient times, the idea of succession was higher than one qiē, so if it was not possible to have offspring, it was indeed a reason to deprive the right of inheritance. What's more, the descendants in ancient times all followed their father's surname, and even if Duguxin gave birth to offspring, he naturally could not inherit the position of the head of the family.

"Who said that Xin'er can't inherit the Dugu family? It's a big deal that when the son I gave birth to Xin'er and I, let him follow his mother's surname Dugu, isn't this just a succession? Jingwen said.

When Cheng Lin and Dugu Kaiyuan heard this, they almost vomited blood. Jingwen's words were very good and powerful, and they were all shocked. Jingwen actually let his son take his mother's surname, which was called a surplus in ancient times! In ancient times, with the mother's surname, that is only the saying of entering the redundancy. Even the offspring born of the princess who married are all with their father's surname, you can imagine the position of husband power in ancient times. But there is only one situation that will follow the mother's surname, and that is to enter the family. Of course, changing your name for some personal reason does not count. In ancient times, it was very humiliating and looked down upon, so many "virtuous" people would rather starve to death than choose to be rich. Even after more than a thousand years, it is very taboo to buy money.

Jingwen actually said something here to let his son follow his mother's surname, which Cheng Lin and Dugu Kaiyuan didn't expect. If Jingwen really chooses to "join the family", then Dugu Kaiyuan really has no reason to continue to compete for the position of the head of the family. Because if Duguxin's mother, Zhou, agrees, it won't be completely impossible. If it was ordinary, Dugu Kaiyuan could use his influence to veto this idea. But now that he is facing Jingwen, Dugu Kaiyuan's political influence is really not enough.

"Nima, you, a fifth-grade official of the imperial court, the emperor's favorite minister, are you still shameless? Can you even say such a thing? Dugu Kaiyuan was speechless and asked the sky.

Dugu Kaiyuan regarded Jingwen as completely shameless, so there was no way to do it. Everyone regarded Jingwen's words as nonsense, as a reason to be able to give themselves chips.

"Okay, okay, General Dugu, this position of the head of the family must be agreed by the majority of the clansmen. I'm afraid this kind of thing can't be hasty, at least find the family members as much as possible, right? There are still people from the Dugu family who did not escape the Jiangdu Incident back then, let's look for it first! At least, it will be three years before you can decide who will be the head of the house! Cheng Lin said.

Dugu Kaiyuan said: "Hmph, I'll give Miss Cheng face!" However, I don't believe that after three years, you will be able to conjure a man to inherit the family business! (To be continued......)
