It was already dark, and Ba Lao and Ba Xiao found a room to rest by themselves. An Zesi also wanted to go back to the room to rest, but was grabbed by Tang Zhening.

"What for?" He was puzzled.

"I've got something going on...... I want to ask you. Tang Zhening said.

"What?" Anzes thought she was something important.

I don't want Tang Zhening to say: "A big family of cultivators like you, like the rare fourth and fifth generations of ordinary people, I'm afraid it's also ordinary in your eyes, right?" ”

"That's true, but ...... Why do you ask this? Anzers looked puzzled.

Tang Zhening asked in a low voice: "What do you call so many generations?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Ji was puzzled and said, "Didn't you understand this problem in the Chu family?" ”

"I don't understand." Tang Zhening said: "The elders of the Chu family, I don't know if they deliberately avoided me or what, I haven't seen a few. I wanted to ask Ruobing them a few times, but I was embarrassed. ”

"This kind of thing has different names in different civilizations and families on different planets." An Zesi said: "Our An family is more enlightened in this regard, and everyone can call it whatever they like. However, in most cases, female elders are honored as Madame, and male elders are honored as sir, of course, this refers to the elders who have cultivated below the great power, if they are above the great power...... Da Neng can obtain the position of an elder regardless of whether he is in power or not, so he is naturally called an elder, and the Venerable is called by his honorific name. ”

After a pause, he added, "There are some exceptions, such as my grandfather, who was very fond of the classical style, so he asked the servants to call him sir." My grandmother admired the Taoist concept of self-reliance, so she liked to have her maids call her layman. But...... My grandfather didn't like this title very much, saying that the average layman was either unmarried or widowed, and this title seemed to curse him. Therefore, he always forced the servants to call Mrs. Grandmother, and the two of them used to quarrel over this. ”

Tang Zhening said strangely: "Your grandparents ...... Isn't it mighty? ”

"Of course not, you should be so powerful?" Anzers laughed.

"But...... Your grandfather...... It should be the last patriarch of the An family, right? Tang Zhening asked.

"Yes." An Zesi said: "The candidate for the patriarch of my An family has always been from the long house. ”

"I thought...... The person who can be the patriarch must be a person with both natural ability and outstanding ability? Like you described your eldest brother before? Tang Zhening tilted his head.

"Yes, but ......" An Zesi smiled and shook his head, "A disciple like An Qing who is talented enough to enter the top ten sects is excluded from the selection of heirs. ”

"Why?" Tang Zhening said strangely.

"Because if you can enter the top ten sects, no one will be the patriarch of the big family." It was Chu Jiwei who answered her this time, and he said lightly: "If you can't enter the top ten sects, it's a good thing to be able to get the position of patriarch." Of course, this situation only applies to large families, such as small families like the Chu family, which are not so particular, and often the patriarch is the strongest in the clan. ”

Tang Zhening heard the words and said unjustly for him: "If that's the case, then why aren't you the patriarch of the Chu family?" ”

"That's because I refused." Chu Jiwei said lightly: "I'm not here." ”

Tang Zhening nodded, "That patriarch really has nothing to do." ”

Because she went to bed early, Tang Zhening woke up early the next day, and when she was tasting all kinds of food and snacks sent by the servants, two servants ran in from outside and shouted to An Zesi respectively:

"Ninth Young Master, Master Fa asked you to come over."

"Ninth Young Master, Xia Jushi asked you to go over."

Tang Zhening was stunned.

But seeing An Zesi said to the two servants separately: "You tell your grandfather that I will bring good tea to drink tea with him later; You told your grandmother that I had purchased a batch of high-quality star incense outside, and when it was finished, I went to smell it with her. ”

The two servants said yes and left.

Tang Zhening swallowed the food in his mouth and wondered: "Don't your grandfather and grandmother live together?" Why do you have to make two trips? ”

Hearing this, even Chu Jiwei looked at it strangely.

"What's the matter, am there something wrong with me?" Tang Zhening couldn't help but be apprehensive.

An Zesi had already understood the customs of Lanxing, so he quickly understood: "Ordinary couples may live together as you said, but in the cultivator world, even if they are married to a Taoist contract, they will not live in the same house, and living next to each other in the cave mansion is extremely intimate. After all, once a cultivator is in retreat, it can take months or even tens or hundreds of years, and there are too many inconveniences in the same room. ”

Another person may not agree with this when he hears this, but Tang Zhening immediately agrees.

In the same room, where only cultivators will have inconvenience, even ordinary people will be the same.

At the beginning, the dog man was, he liked to drink and sing K outside with those fox friends and dog friends, and he always came back in the middle of the night. Forget it, she has a good sleep quality and is not affected. As a result, the man had to wake her up every time, just to tell her that he was back.

- God knows that although she has a good quality of sleep, she has difficulty falling asleep, and if she is woken up halfway, sometimes she can't sleep all night.

And when she was going to sleep, he got up early in the morning to watch TV; She was in a hurry to go out to work and couldn't find the car keys, but it turned out that he was carrying it in his pocket, and the key was that he was stunned to see her looking for more than 20 minutes before he said; I don't buy snacks, but I always eat her snacks, and I hate her for spending money indiscriminately......

And so and so on and so forth.

So in her opinion, it couldn't be better if husband and wife don't live together.

Such rules made Tang Zhening want to get married, but ......

She remembered one thing, "What if I had a baby?" In this way, each dwells in his own way, who cares about the children? ”

"Whoever is empty will take care of it." "Of course, for the sake of the child's growth, during this period, the husband and wife will often go to each other's residence to stay, and then end this mode of life when the child reaches adulthood. However, this has little impact, after all, the child is only ten or twenty years old, and if he is out of the ordinary, he may enter the sect in his early tens, or go to a boarding college. With the lifespan of a cultivator, this delay is nothing at all. ”

Tang Zhening couldn't help but marvel, the husband and wife life in this cultivator world was really desirable.

If this is the case, then if there is a man who looks pleasing to the eye in the future, it seems that it is not impossible to get married?

- But she didn't know, because she was young, and some words were not so appropriate, so Anzes didn't say them. For example, couples with good relationships, except for retreats, often either I live with you or you live with me.
