There was no mess at today's banquet, and the kind of 'accidental' dirty clothes and broken feet were not staged, but Cheng Daqi felt that today's life was difficult.

"Uncle has the emperor's attention, it's really enviable, but uncle, this vision should be long-term, the so-called one step and three steps, this ten years are better, so what about the next ten years?"

Someone pulled Cheng Daqi to talk in a low voice, and said bitterly, "Being prepared for danger in times of peace is what we have to do, and Uncle can't stare at the eyes." ”

Cheng Daqi's heart is like a mirror, the person who spoke is in-law to the Chu family, this is here to lobby him, and he suddenly sighed, "I understand what the adults mean, but the Cheng family is different from the family, the foundation is very shallow, today's situation is rewarded by the emperor, I can only share the emperor's worries with my heart, and where else dare to ponder." ”

"It's really more than enough to do it."

Seeing him sighing, the person who persuaded him smiled, "Uncle, wealth is in danger, if you ask for it, the Cheng family can prosper for fifty years." ”

Cheng Daqi spit out in his heart and said, standing and talking doesn't hurt his back, and he is still in danger, when this Cheng family is not his, he can talk nonsense with empty teeth and white teeth?

It's been fifty years, he hasn't heard of any emperor who can be fifty years old, the emperor is willing, and the emperor's sons are not willing, when the prince is sixty years old, the old father can't come down, is this preparing to boil the son and then the grandson?

How many of these so-called New Year's greetings in the capital are 100 years old?

Oh, the Xie family is a hundred years old, but don't think that he doesn't know how this hundred years came about, the real Xie family's incense has long been broken, right?

Wait, Xie family?

Cheng Daqi's eyes suddenly lit up, and before he could speak, the adults who persuaded him thought he had figured it out, otherwise how could his eyes be shining?

"Uncle."

"My lord, I suddenly remembered something, I understand what you mean, but I need to think about it, talk back, talk back."

After speaking, he hurriedly went to find Cheng Daqian, and pulled Cheng Daqian to whisper a few words in the corner, Cheng Daqian's eyes were shocked, excited, hesitant, and complicated.

"Can it work?"

"Why not, the Xie family is like this, anyway, you can't find your roots, it's better to find a strong root for yourself, I heard that the Qin family in the capital used to be very brilliant, the Xie family can do it, why can't we?"

Cheng Daqi was confident, Cheng Daqi's eyes lit up, Cheng Daqi said, "Think about it, if you become one more noble in-law in our family, not to mention, if you are humble and virtuous, you will become a child of the family, it is not easy to drink too much to take fame, and Sanniang said that the relatives have to pull it up." ”

Cheng Daqian nodded heavily, and said that he would discuss it in the evening and arrange it as soon as possible.

"Bodhisattva bless, this banquet has finally passed today, and nothing has gone wrong."

In the evening, the guests left one after another, and after sending off the last group of guests, the family returned to the main hall, and sat down to eat tea and rest one by one, Xiao He smiled and said: "Hard work brother and sister." ”

From the reserve to today, more than a month ago, the Qin clan has been busy every day this month.

Although the Qin family is tired, but the spirit is very good, especially today I have seen a lot of ladies, I have seen a lot of boys, and I suddenly feel that I have not seen the world, and the relatives I found for her daughter earlier are still not good, "Today is the first time, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, and next time it will be better." ”

"It's already very good today, several ladies say that it is done well, the garden is also beautifully tied, the banquet is rich, and the hospitality is proper."

Qin smiled happily, tired for a day, everyone simply rested after dinner.

At night, Cheng Daqian put down the curtain after going to bed, pulled the quilt and approached Qin, Qin pushed him, "I'm too tired today, go to sleep quickly." ”

Cheng Daqian lowered his voice, "I have something to discuss with you, you see if it's okay." ”

The Qin clan didn't give her a look," he said. ”

Cheng Daqian said: "Big brother gave me a proposal today to find an ancestor for the Qin family, what do you think?" ”

The Qin clan didn't react, and smiled, "What's the matter, helped our family find the ancestor?" ”

"It's not to look for, it's to choose one for your family, the target is all found, the decline of the capital's noble Qin family."

The Qin family still didn't understand, Cheng Daqian told her about the Xie family, "The Xie family looks beautiful, a century-old family, the eldest brother occasionally learned that it was not like that at all, and the Xie family had never fallen, a wealthy businessman surnamed Xie came to the past, saying that he was a lost relative of the Xie family, he was rich, the Xie family was short of money at that time, the two sides hit it off, the merchant became a nobleman, and the Xie family continued in this way." ”

"I heard that I also took the initiative to recognize a few merchants surnamed Xie as side branches halfway through."

Qin turned over and sat up, "I understand, can this work?" ”

"Why not?"

Cheng Daqian began to analyze, "Your Qin family can only be traced back to your father's generation, your father has no brothers, he was exiled back then, I also heard your father say that his father doesn't know where the roots are, since he can't find it, then choose one for himself, the Qin family in the capital is in decline, but in the past, there were several big officials on the ancestors, and the Shinong businessman family was at the top." ”

"Leaning on to be a side branch, the most you can do is give the Qin family a little money, they don't want to return to glory if they decline?"

"At that time, your family will become a big family with a wide ancestor, and your identity will be different, and our children will have a better road in the future."

The Qin family is also doing business, although it is not big, but it is also a merchant, the Qin family has been exposed to it since childhood, and its brain is quite flexible, "If it happens, I will become a girl in the family mansion?" ”

Cheng Daqian corrected, "The declining family." ”

"One meaning."

The Qin family couldn't help but laugh, "My children have a foreign family of the big family, plus the current Cheng family, isn't it different?" ”

Cheng Daqian said again: "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the Qin family in the capital declines, the connections are still there, and we can use it when the time comes, and if they want to restore their past glory, our support is indispensable, but it is just to recognize a side branch and one more nominal relative." ”

"For you, it's just one more relative, and you don't live together, why don't you send a message to your father-in-law?"

The Qin family thinks it's okay, today's banquet also made her understand that her background is really an insurmountable gap, she has a poor background, and it is not easy to even take her children to say goodbye, especially in this capital full of nobles.

The two almost hit it off.

At this moment, Cheng Daqi was also talking to Xiao He about this, Xiao He was quite surprised, "You can come up with this matter of recognizing your ancestors?" ”

Cheng Daqi said with a smile: "What is this called recognizing the ancestors, it is nothing more than finding a nominal relative for the ancestors, worshipping their respective ancestors during the New Year's holidays, it doesn't affect it at all, it is for outsiders to see, this thing is not the first thing I came up with, which family of Gaomen does not have such a thing?" ”

"There are genealogists on the market who specialize in making up genealogies, and they can write flowers for you whatever identity you want."

"Besides, in the past, the Qin family of my brother and sister had no ancestors for a long time, and I don't know where the roots are."
