The first stage of the clan, known as the matrilineal society, is based on the social organization of matrilineal blood relations, the matrilineal society is based on primitive agriculture and livestock rearing, and the woman as its inventor is respected in production and economic life, in society, and achieves dominance and dominance. However www.biquge.info in the early Neolithic period, with the gradual development of animal husbandry, the status of men gradually improved, and the matrilineal society was gradually replaced by the patrilineal society. To this day, the equality between men and women, which women continue to demand, has largely not been realized.

Hearing Yin Chen say that the Yan family is a matrilineal family, Lao Jiang was not only taken aback, but after thinking about it, he suddenly understood. Lao Jiang was wrong from the beginning. Wang Qi is not called Yan Qi, but surnamed Yin. Even if Wang Qi is Yin Zhengnan's son, he can't enter the Yan clan genealogy. Even if Yin Zhengnan did not die, Wang Qi would not be able to enter the gate of the Yan family, because Yin Zhengnan had no right to decide whether Wang Qi would stay or not.

Ah Shen heard it in a fog, he looked at Lao Jiang and looked at the poker face, their solemn expressions made Ah Shen a little uncomfortable, he laughed and said, "What is there to be serious about, isn't it the matrilineal family." Don't you still have to be able to have the next generation with men and women together, is it still the same as the daughter country in Journey to the West, and even men are not needed? ”

After Ah Shen finished speaking, he was looked back by the calm eyes of the poker face, and the poker face shook his head slightly. This Ah Shen, Lao Jiang said that he had already seen a little bit before, and this next sentence revealed his true nature. Poker Face said slowly, "The matrilineal society has already transitioned to the patrilineal society in the early Neolithic period, and the patrilineal society has continued to this day, do you know why?" ”

"What else? It shows that men are stronger than women," Ah Shen almost got up. In a sense, this is indeed the case, the law of survival of the fittest in natural society has never changed, with the development of productive forces, men began to gain the upper hand in social production, women began to take a back seat, and society gradually became a world of men's vigorous competition. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on feminism, and women have gradually stood up and begun to fight for their equal rights and interests with men. Some experts even predict that one day, a patrilineal society will transform into a matrilineal society.

As a matrilineal family, is the Yan family a progress or backwardness in the family system?

Poker Face thought for a moment, raised his head and looked directly at Yin Chen, "As a matrilineal family, how can a man be willing to ......?" "How can a man surrender willingly? The poker face suddenly remembered Lao Jiang's maternal grandfather, although he always liked to mess with flowers outside, he cared about Lao Jiang's grandmother in the end, and never did anything beyond the norm outside. Even Wang Qi was the result of Lao Jiang's grandmother's frustration after Lao Jiang's mother insisted on marrying Lao Jiang's father.

So,

"My mother, she is the heir of the Yan family?" Lao Jiang asked suddenly.

Yin Chen looked at Lao Jiang and nodded heavily. Suddenly, he said in a deep voice, "The only heir." ”

Ah Shen couldn't understand why the scene was so heavy, in his eyes, the heir was gone, and he could find it again, why was it so.

Yin Chen said slowly, "The Yan family is not as simple as you think, it is not like a business or a country, the heir can be found again, but the heir of the Yan family will always be the only daughter of the Yan family." ”

"It's not like a company or a national ......," Poker Face muttered, sensing Yin Chen's helplessness when he said these words, as if it was the only way, and once the road was blocked, he would never be able to get to that place again.

"Yin Chen, tell me, tell me everything about the Yan family as it is." Lao Jiang couldn't bear to hold Yin Chen in circles outside the topic for a long time, and he didn't explain everything clearly. He was so anxious that he couldn't help but urge.

Yin Chen looked at Lao Jiang and suddenly said, "Do you know that you are very similar to your mother." It's a pity ......" After Yin Chen finished speaking, he shook his head secretly, with a look of exhaustion in his eyes, sighed, looked at the pale snow scene outside the window, opened his mouth slightly, and said, "The Yan family, since a long, long time ago, has been the largest family guarding the gate of the world. ”

Hearing the door of the world at first glance, Poker Face shook all over, and Lao Jiang and Ah Shen, who were sitting next to Poker Face, felt Poker Face's surprise and looked at him. I saw that the poker face seemed to have received an important clue, and his eyes were burning and shining. In fact, as early as when they walked into that room, he faintly felt that the Yan family might have something to do with the door of the world. It's just that now Yin Chen directly said the door of the world, which still surprised the poker face, "Do you know that we are investigating the door of the world?" ”

Yin Chen picked up the teacup with an extremely elegant gesture, took a sip of tea, and put down the teacup before saying, "I've been paying attention to you all along, after all, ......" Yin Chen said this, suddenly lowered his voice, his mind turned, and a gentle smile appeared on the slightly stiff corners of his mouth. "After all, he's my sister's son." Yin Chen's words pointed directly at Lao Jiang, but his eyes seemed to be fixed on the poker face. He blinked and turned his gaze away to look at Lao Jiang, "The door of the world of affairs cannot be opened just by you exploring one of them, the box of the hundred ghosts. If it was that easy, the Yan family would not have fallen into it for generations. ”

"But it's not like it's all over the place, is it? Otherwise, you'd have given up long ago. Poker Face said again. He vaguely knew that Yin Chen knew his identity early on, and the three of them came, except for Lao Jiang is Ah Shen, whose face was clear and identifiable, only him, Lao Jiang had been calling him poker face just now, but Yin Chen never doubted his identity from beginning to end, and did not say whether the oath was useful or not, just let them swear to tell the whole truth, I am afraid this is not the consistent style of the Yan family.

Why, exactly? Yin Chen wants to tell them these outsiders? Poker's brow furrowed slightly, and he thought in a daze.

Yin Chen smiled lightly and turned his gaze to the door of the living room. His expression instantly became solemn and submissive, and he stood up and bowed respectfully ninety degrees towards the door of the living room. "Mother."

Lao Jiang was shocked for a moment, he noticed that his heartbeat had missed a beat, he looked towards the door, only to see that at some point, there was an old woman standing at the door of the living room. He stood up and looked at her with wide eyes.

"That old man, is Lao Jiang's grandmother?" Shen poked poker in the face with his elbow. Poker looked at the old woman and sighed softly.

Ah Shen didn't dare to come out, from the first time he saw the old woman, he understood why the Yan family was a matrilineal family. This old woman, with a ruddy complexion and a well-proportioned and tall figure, is not as withered as an ordinary old woman, and when she looks closely, she finds that the old woman has a beautiful appearance, delicate facial features, and the wrinkles on her face are also relaxed. She smiled and quietly met Lao Jiang's gaze.

Under Yin Chen's respectful greeting, she walked in slowly, Ah Shen only felt that her gait was steady and powerful, but her demeanor was dignified, and she walked to the sofa beside Yin Chen step by step and sat down, without saying a word but always smiling shallowly.

Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment, according to the news he had originally heard, his grandmother was bedridden because of Lao Jiang's mother's disobedience, but now she is in good health. Lao Jiang thought about it, his mother married his father, after all, it was more than 30 years ago, and more than 30 years is almost enough for his grandmother to be relieved, right? Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at his grandmother again.

It wasn't until Mrs. Yan sat in front of them that Ah Shen still didn't finish the old woman in front of him, and when she got closer, Ah Shen finally saw clearly, it turned out that this old woman was not only different from ordinary people, but even her temperament seemed to be unusual, and he couldn't tell what was different carefully. I only vaguely feel that this old woman is not an ordinary person.

"Wai ......" Lao Jiang didn't even call out, he fell down first, and said, "It's snowing a lot outside......

The old woman was even more embarrassed by Lao Jiang's brainless words, she slowly moved her gaze out the window, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little loose, "It's been going to be a week in a row, and the road is about to be closed." ”

When Yin Chen heard Mrs. Yan say this, he frowned, "Yes, in a few days, you won't be able to enter the mountain." ”

Mrs. Yan nodded, looked up at Lao Jiang, the smile was still there, but her eyes were a little cold, "What are you here for?" ”

Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment and replied, "We are here to ...... My mom...... Oh...... No, the blood jade of the Yan family came. ”

Mrs. Yan nodded again, "The blood jade was given to your mother a long time ago. It's a pity that she died early. ”

"The blood jade was taken away by Wang Qi. We thought he was going to come back to you with the blood jade......"

Speaking of this, I only heard Mrs. Yan bow her head and chuckle, layers of crow's feet swept around her good-looking eyes, but she still couldn't hide her elegance, "What are you looking for me, the Yan family is not his home." ”

"Yes......" Lao Jiang was speechless for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "But after all, blood jade is the Yan family's thing." …… You...... Do you know what Wang Qi did with the blood jade? ”

Mrs. Yan thought for a while, and then said, "Back then, Wang Qi came to the Yan family and wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. But they were wrong, where is the Yan family where their ancestors can be recognized, they want to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, then they can only recognize the ancestors of the Yin family and return to the Yin family's ancestors. But Yin Zhengnan was dead, and they had no choice but to leave. Over the years, I don't know where he found out about the heirloom of our Yan family, thinking that if he got it, he would be able to enter the Yan family. Mrs. Yan was still smiling lightly, her expression was very gentle, but there was an undeniable coldness between her words. I think he probably didn't get what he wanted, so he went to Yin Zhengnan's grave to cry. After Mrs. Yan finished speaking, she wanted to get up.

"Grandma......" Lao Jiang suddenly stood up and shouted in a hoarse voice. He spent too much time without his relatives, supporting the Fulong Gang alone, and the hardships during the period could only be swallowed by himself. But I don't know why today, after seeing Mrs. Yan, he had a strong dependence, perhaps, this is the natural attachment of blood relatives.

Mrs. Yan turned her head slightly, glanced at Lao Jiang, her still clear eyes reflected Lao Jiang's somewhat vague figure, she narrowed her eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually thickened. She said, "Yin Chen, send off." With that, he turned around and walked out of the living room without looking back. (To be continued.) )
