That night, Jingwen gave Dugumou a day off in the name of sacrificial wine at the Tang Military Academy. Then let Jingwen Duguxin take Dugumou to Dugumou's house, accurately solicit the opinion of Dugumou's mother Wang, and let Dugumou pass on to Duguxin's deceased father Duguxin, and then become Duguxin's younger brother, so as to take over the family business of Duguxin's family. Although Dugumou is also surnamed Dugu, this surname is not their original surname, but the surname given to Dugumou's great-grandfather by Duguxin's great-grandfather, Duguxin, so they are not actually a family in terms of blood.

But in fact, sometimes blood is not the most important, but interests are the most important. Duguxin's mother, Zhou, needs a son to support her old age and protect the interests of her so-called family lineage. Even if there is no male in his main lineage, the family must find a way to continue. For an ancient person, inheritance is the most important thing, even if there are no descendants, you have to find a way to get a descendant, even if it is not biological. Compared with cutting off offspring, even some people would rather cuckold themselves than cut off offspring, preferring to let their wives do the so-called "borrowing. kind of "thing." What's more, now this Dugu Mou has a very good relationship with their family, and it is a friendship of several generations, so if Dugu Mou succeeds Dugu as a cheap son, it is not unacceptable. At least, under this kind of friendship between generations, the succession is not too abrupt.

"Mother, what do you think of this?" Dugu asked his mother Wang said.

The Wang family was a little hesitant, because according to the ancient tradition, once it was passed on to someone else, it was probably legally irrelevant to his father and mother. This kind of complete separation is something that many parents are reluctant to. Now Wang is also a little hesitant, so he doesn't know whether he should agree or not.

And the Wang family is also a little tempted, because if you look at the relationship between the ancestors, in fact, Dugumou's great-grandfather is actually just a prisoner of Duguxin's grandfather Duguxin. Later, he even became a house slave. In ancient times, there was only one reason why a superior gave a subordinate his surname to him, and that was to regard him as his closest servant. Just like Xu Shiji, after becoming a general of the Tang Dynasty, he was given the surname Li by Li Yuan, and then became Li Shiji. It's just that later Li Shimin ascended the throne, and in order to avoid avoiding the word "world", the word "world" was removed, and then it became Li Ji. This is Li Yuan's fancy to Xu Shiji back then, and he wants to regard Xu Shiji as a "loyal servant" of the times. Willing to treat him as the person closest to him. In ancient times, when the whole world was not the king's land, the ministers were just slaves of the emperor, at most they had a higher status, and they were housekeepers at different levels.

If you want to use the thinking of the ancients, the Dugumou family has been a servant of the Duguxin family for several generations. Even if their ancestors had a good relationship back then, they could even be described as good friends, but the gap in identity has been set. But things have changed. It's like a great old man who suddenly wants to accept the offspring of a slave in his family as a son, and he can inherit this family business in the future. This is a better thing for any "slave" than pie in the sky, who is not tempted! But if you give your son to someone else. Are you worthy of your dead husband? Moreover, if the son is given to someone else, will anyone look down on their family and think that their family affairs want to climb the high gate?

"Mou'er. You tell me? Wang asked.

Dugu Mou said: "Mother, if they can agree to some conditions for us, I think they can agree." Because I also have a young brother. You can inherit the family business in the future. So, as long as they agree to some conditions for us, I can agree! ”

Although theoretically it has nothing to do with my parents after succession, how can I be casually separated from my years of nurturing and the grace of my life? Therefore, even after adoptive, it is possible to maintain a certain amount of contact.

Dugu Mou came to Dugu Xin's side and took the initiative to say, "Miss Dugu, I want to ask, what should my father and grandfather and great-grandfather do when the time comes?" What are they? A slave of the Dugu family? If we can't solve this problem, we won't say yes. ”

"This ......" Duguxin didn't know what to do.

And Duguxin's mother, Zhou, has many years of life experience, and immediately explained: "Back then, the ancestor Dugu Xin and the ancestor Li Tun were like siblings, and they had already had eight friends, so they changed their surname to Dugu." The ancestors have long regarded Dugutun as their own brother, and Dugutun's son Dugu Kai, that is, your grandfather, has also received support from our Dugu family for many years, and he was the duke of the former Sui Guanbai County. And the two have actually merged into one family for a long time, regardless of each other. Therefore, we can add a vein next to the ancestor Duguxin, that is, a vein of Dugutun. From now on, Dugutun is the brother of the ancestor Duguxin, and we are all a family. ”

What Zhou said directly turned Dugumou's ancestors into his own family. And the original slave status is deliberately forgotten. At that time, Duguxin was one of the eight pillars of the Guanlong Group, and the Guanlong Group still has a strong influence to this day. And once Dugumou's ancestors become his own family, it is equivalent to becoming a member of the Guanlong Group.

What's more, the reason why Dugu Mou wanted to be Dugu's stepson at that time was that he wanted to get support. Not only can you get the support of the Guanlong Group, but also study in a military school by yourself, that is, you can step on two boats, and you don't have to worry about having no future at all. And now the Dugu family is already very good, and being able to add their ancestors to the family tree means that they are a real family, no longer the slave surname in the past.

And in this era, a famous family is a famous family, and there is no other way to say it. Even if the famous family has declined, it is much more noble than others for no reason, although this kind of thing Jingwen feels inexplicable, but in fact it is also popular in this era. So even when Xue Rengui got mixed up and wanted to farm for a living, he still thought that he was a famous family, and he talked about reviving the family business and reviving the lintel all day long. Originally, the Dugu family had been slaves for generations, but now that they have truly become a member of the Dugu family, it feels very good. Although Dugu Mou, a former slave, is actually better than the real Dugu family strictly speaking, they are still very weak in their hearts when they see the direct line of the Dugu family. So now that they can really become their own "masters" back then, they feel that they actually earned it, so naturally there is no reason to refuse.

"Dugumou, haven't you seen my sister in a hurry? And my brother-in-law? Jingwen said immediately.

"I've seen my teacher, brother-in-law!" Dugumou said.

Because Jingwen is the sacrificial wine of the Tang Military Academy, he is the first generation of Dugumou's teacher, so Dugumou is first called a teacher, and then a brother-in-law. (To be continued......)
