Chapter 26 The Duke's Family

Chapter 26 The Duke’s Family

(On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year! I have corrected an error regarding the inheritance of the Wu family. From the early Han Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, it lasted for more than 800 years and passed down to twenty-six generations.)

Although he was over seventy years old, as the patriarch of the clan, Samurai Ryo still took it upon himself to tell the young people what family responsibility was. Regardless of his age, he deliberately used his power to manage the forbidden garden and asked his servants to go to Deer Park to buy a male.

The deer is back.

"Isn't this good? What if someone impeaches an official?" The old man clearly wanted to regain his glory, but he said he was buying a deer to entertain Huaiyu.

"What's the matter? There are many deer raised in the deer park. In addition to most of them being supplied to the palace, some are used to reward honorable ministers and are sold. I also paid for them. It's not corruption. Who can support me when I'm full?

Impeach me. Erlang, it is said that the form complements the form. Do you think that in addition to deer blood wine, is it also beneficial to eat the deer thing?"

This old man.

"Well, medicinal supplements are not as good as dietary supplements, but dietary supplements also have a lot to pay attention to, and we must pay attention to the balance of yin and yang..."

Samurai Leng patted Huaiyu on the shoulder, "Good young man, you studied Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain. After learning such powerful medicines, you never learned how to burn furnaces to make elixirs or draw talismans?"

This Huaiyu really has never learned. He has asked the old Taoist this question before. After all, there are two major schools of Taoism, Zhengyi who draws talismans, and Quanzhen who makes alchemy. The old Taoist calls himself a lineage of Lou Guan and has also talked about inheritance. Lou Guan is in

It was very famous before the Song Dynasty and flourished especially in the Tang Dynasty. However, it was later merged into the rising Quanzhen during the Yuan Dynasty.

However, the old Taoist has never burned a furnace to refine earth elixirs, but he is as light as a swallow when flying over eaves and walls, and he is also very skilled in medicine.

"I can only be regarded as half a registered disciple. I followed the free medical clinic and learned a little bit about diagnosis and treatment."

Lao Wu was a little disappointed. He was still thinking about Huaiyu's more powerful rejuvenating elixir.

There were seven generations from Wu Qia to the warrior Xun, and twenty-five generations from Wuhu to the warrior Xun in the early Han Dynasty.

I went to Li's Mansion to inquire and found out I was here.

Old Man Wu thought to himself: "Although our Wu family in Bingzhou has been poor for several generations, our ancestors are very distinguished. The ancestor is King Wu Ding of Yin. King Yin, do you know?"

The warrior Xun's first title from the Dragon Queen was Shouyang County Duke. It was a title passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors.

Samurai Ke's father and ancestors were all sons of common people. He was a commoner. When he came to Samurai Ke, he had no father since he was a child. He sold tofu from a small gang, but he was still able to make meritorious deeds from the dragon in troubled times and become an official with the rank of seventh-grade brigade commander. His son had just become an adult.

Ding has also obtained the ninth-level military rank in the Forbidden Army.

While Lao Wu was waiting to buy the deer, he planned to discuss the family inheritance with Huai Yu.

The most remarkable thing about the Wu family is not the grassroots counterattack, but the fact that the three families of the Wu family are very united and help each other, and the population is still very prosperous, with a large number of clan members.

As he spoke, Lao Wu also asked his eldest son to get a family tree. Every family in a famous family has a family tree, which is very precious. This is the basis for family inheritance.

The Bingzhou Wu family, starting from Wu Qia, has gone through several generations and formed the three branches of the Jinyang Wu family, Wenshui Wu family and Shouyang Wu family. They are collectively known as the Bingzhou Wu family to the outside world. They originate from the Wu family in Peixian County and share the same respect for Liang.

Zou Xiaohou Wu Biao was the Duke of Kaiji.

But how can I tell Old Man Wu this?

Many members of the Wu clan in Bingzhou, such as Samurai Ke, followed the right people during this wave of dynasty changes and enjoyed great dividends.

However, although the Wu family is a Conglong family, they also have hidden worries. That is, they loyally followed Li Yuan and were the emperor's confidant Yuan Cong. But now the Xuanwumen mutiny has just happened. King Qin killed the prince and King Qi took control of the emperor and the court.

, otherwise he would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. At that time, the emperor and his courtiers, who were the confidants of the old emperor, might have to step aside in the new dynasty.

Warrior Ke's grandfather was a concubine of Wu Juchang. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, he chose to take his family back to his hometown in Wenshui to settle down. Warrior Xun's grandfather was Wu Jian, who served as an official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his family still lived in Shouyang.

"A descendant of Wu Ding took the surname Wu as his surname, and it was passed down to the early Han Dynasty. Wu Biao (Wu Hu, tabooed as Biao) of the Wei State followed the Han Emperor Gaozu to pacify the princes, and was named Liang Zouhou.

Hu, ranked the 20th among the heroes in the early Han Dynasty. The kingdom was located in Zouping, present-day Jeju. It was passed down to the fourth generation. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deprived him of the title due to insufficient gold. In the sixth generation, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty restored the title of Wu family.

His descendants moved to Pei State and formed the Wu family commandery in Pei State."

"What's that girl's name?"

Lao Wu's attitude was clear. Of course there was no reason to refuse such a good thing.

When we arrived at the gate, our father, Huaiyi, and our third son, Huailiang, were there. Hou San was driving the car beside us.

Although the three brothers of Samurai Rei are all lords, their descendants have not yet shown any special achievements. For example, the eldest son of Samurai Rei, Mujun Masaru, is already fifty and is only an eighth-grade military attache. This is the end of his life.

"Aye, big brother!"

"That boy Huaiyi has been to me a few times before. He is quite good. He has solid riding and shooting skills, but he is a bit too upright. Now by chance, he has become King Qin's attendant Baiqi. However, he has a bright future. We, the younger generation of the Wu family,

Now it seems that you two brothers have the most predecessors. From now on, you brothers, remember to take more care of our Wu family. We are old, and the family will have to rely on you young people in the future."

The samurai stood up and wanted to kill the deer himself. He put on his apron and moved very skillfully, bleeding the deer, skinning it, removing the bones and dividing the meat, without any unnecessary movements.

"Qia gave birth to the Northern Wei Dynasty to offer wine to the God of Shouyang Gong, which was the beginning of the Wenshui and Wu clan. The turtle gave birth to Bingzhou Dazhongzheng, Situ Yue Wang had a long history, attacked and granted Shouyang Gong Keji, and gave birth to Northern Qi Zhenyuan General to attack Shouyang Gong's residence.

Chang, Chang was born to King Yongchang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who proposed to join the army. Jian was born to Chenghua, the eastern capital of the Sui Dynasty. Hua was born to the public official Shi Ling of Xuancheng in the Tang Dynasty. He was born to the public official Shi Yi in Anlu. He was the official official Shi Rang in Chaosan.

"Let's go and greet you!"

Huaiyu hesitated for a moment. The old Taoist did not teach him to use turtle shells, copper coins, bamboo sticks or stars to predict his own death. However, the old Taoist was able to accurately predict his own death date many years ago, even to the sky, and even theirs.

The old Taoist had deduced the meeting in advance, and said that they had been destined for five years. He didn't believe it if the old Taoist didn't know how to predict things by divination.

Huaiyu couldn't explain it.

"Your father, Shike, is the great-grandson of Duke Shouyang Juchang like me!"

Huaiyu kept his story short and explained everything simply.

Old Man Wu stared at him for a long time, and finally showed a playful smile, "I understand, the secret must not be leaked."

Lao Wu said that Wu Ding won a great victory against the ghosts and made outstanding achievements, so some of his descendants had the surname Wu.

Shouyang Gongwu Juchang, the fourth generation who moved to Bingzhou, was the common great-grandfather of Samurai Ke and Samurai Leng. Huaiyu was called Gaozu, and at that time there was still the title of Duke of Shouyang County.

But now I followed the old Taoist advice and went down the mountain to the north. When I came to the Tang Dynasty, I didn't know how to divination, but I did know the history of more than a thousand years in the future.

Just like Samurai Leng, he is seventy years old, which should be the age for him to become an official, but he is in good health, has concubines every year, and has children every year, and still continues to serve as the fourth-rank Si Nong Shaoqing.

"Why don't you agree? Erlang's prescription is a treasure. Dalang's injury was so serious that he recovered as before. We are not receiving salary for nothing. If they give it to us, we will accept it. What are we afraid of? I was a team leader under Li Jing back then.

I know him quite well. Although he doesn't like to interact with others, he is a bit arrogant like a child of aristocratic family, and he is a little too cautious in his actions. But in fact, he is still very forthright and bright, and he is not the kind of person who likes to make trouble in secret.

People who are underhanded."

Jinyang Gong Wuqia's father was Wu Nian, Marquis of Guiyi, and Wu Nian's grandfather was General Weiyuan, Marquis of Xue Wupu. The title of Marquis of Xue has been passed down for three generations. The first person to be awarded the title of Marquis of Xue was Wu Bei, the son of Wu Zhou. Wu Zhou was a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty and served as Cao Pi.

As a censor, he was granted the title of Marquis of Nanchang.

Only when a family has history can it unite people's hearts.

Of course Wu Ding Huaiyu, the king of Yin, knew it. Wu Ding, the famous ZTE king of Yin and Shang Dynasties.

Lao Wu glanced at Huaiyu and laughed, "It seems that my brother is not worried about you being alone in the capital, so he came here in such a hurry, just in time to eat venison together."

However, Huaiyu was surprised when Old Man Wu said that his ancestor was King Wu Ding of Yin. He didn’t think it was that great, but he thought it was far-fetched to identify the ancestors of famous people. This matter became more and more common in an era where family status was important.

None of the royal Li family claimed that they were the Li family of Longxi, but many people said that their family was just the Li family from Zhaojun.

From the Marquis of Liang Zou to the Marquis of Neihuang, then to the Marquises of Nanchang, Xuehou, then to the Duke of Jinyang, to the Duke of Shouyang, and now to the four brothers of the Wu family, the Duke of the country and the Duke of the county, this is just the lineage of the warrior Xun.

The rest of the Wu family also had many titles in the Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

This was the first time that Huaiyu had heard of such a clear family inheritance. Wu Ding could not explain clearly, but from Wu Biao in the early Han Dynasty to Samurai Ke and Samurai Tong, twenty-five generations of inheritance were recorded in genealogy.

Huaiyu was surprised to see his father like this, "I thought Aye would disagree."

Originally, among the three Wu clans in Bingzhou, the Wu family in Jinyang was the largest clan, and was also called Taiyuan Fang, the Shouyang family was called Shouyang family, and the Wenshui family was also called Daling family.

On the way, the warrior Ke held Huaiyu's hand and kept asking questions. Although the Li family were neighbors, they were from a famous family.

Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Hanmen did not belong to the gentry family, but mostly referred to local powerful landowners. They could not compare with those gentry families, but at least they were large families with local pedigree.

"Can you do divination? Can you predict good or bad luck in the future?"

"My son is a great man, where are the man and the silk money dowry?"

"Bring me a jar of the royal wine that your Majesty gave me." Lao Wu looked at the fresh deer blood and was very excited. He immediately asked Huaiyu to mix him with deer blood bone strengthening wine.

Huaiyu used to really think that the ancestors of the old warrior family were very ordinary, and even thought that warrior Yu was just selling tofu and lumber when he was young. Now he knows that warrior Yu's great-grandfather was a county duke, his grandfather was a county king and he joined the army, and his father also became something.

Du Cheng, no matter how the official becomes smaller and smaller, he will always be the official after the eunuch.

He shook his head.

However, it was only the eighth generation that Wu Qia passed down to Huaiyu, so he was still relatively close.

Those top-notch noble families with five surnames and seven families in Kanto and four surnames in Kansai have really bottomless knowledge.

Not only do the local landlords have to be powerful, but they also have to produce officials from generation to generation.

"Mrs. Yongkang gave you a beautiful maid, and also a dowry?" Lao Wu heard that Huaiyu helped the Li family prepare medicine, and Zhang gave him 300 pieces of silk. Then he also gave you a beautiful maid and even brought it with him.

The dowry actually included twenty acres of fertile land in Lijiazhuang, Sanyuan, plus an ox and a bolt of silk, and another twenty bolts of silk worth 8,000 yuan. Father Wu was very happy.

"It's hot outside. Let's go to the pavilion in the garden to cool down first. It's better to come early than to come by chance. I happened to buy a deer to slaughter today. You guys came just after the deer was slaughtered."

"Alang, Commander Miyuan Longqiao Military Brigade and his son Wu Baiqi are here to visit." The servant came to report.

Bloodline is the real hub of the family.

"Erlang, why didn't you tell me that you came to Chang'an?" Dad came up to greet his brother, the warrior, and then hurried over to see his son. He didn't see his son when he came back yesterday. He thought he had gone somewhere, but later he heard that he had gone to Lijiazhuang.

, and then followed Li Sanniang to Chang'an. Lao Wu felt uneasy and hurriedly came today.

He was very proud when he talked about the generations of poor families in the Wu family. If Huaiyu first came here, he might not have known what was worth showing off about the poor families, but now he knew that the poor families in this era were not ordinary. The poor families were also called common people, not ordinary people.

It does not refer to the poor, but to families with lower status and influence, also called small aristocratic families.

The servant came to report that the deer had been fetched.

"During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Wu Biao's 18th generation grandson Wu Qia was appointed Minister of the Fifth Army, General Pingbei, and was granted the title Duke of Jinyang. He was also granted the title of Daling County and granted fifty hectares of land. Wu Qia moved from Pei County to the fiefdom of Jinyang.

This was also the beginning of the Wu family’s prefecture in Taiyuan. Later, the Wu Qia branch settled in Daling County. Daling County was the ancient name of today’s Wenshui County.”

A family inherited in this way can only be regarded as a poor family. Nowadays, one family and three sons are still called nouveau riche.

Huaiyu's family actually belonged to Dalingfang, and they were no longer in the same room as Samurai Yun and others.

Lao Wu hadn't told him this before, so he knew that it turned out that Warrior Ke and Warrior Yu were the queens of the two Wu clan branches. However, because Shouyang was close to Wenshui, and the three Wus were close to each other, Warrior Ke

When they were young, they often did things together with Samurai Yu, so they were quite close to each other.

"Si Qi, whose real name is Chen Runniang."

"Okay, I agree with you to take Runniang as your concubine. As soon as the Li family documents arrive, you can quickly go to the Yamen to get the household registration documents."

Lao Wu felt that this was not taking advantage of the Li family. His son's medicine was valuable. He was not worried about the Li Jing family's bad intentions. He understood Li Jing's character.

I was worried all the way just now, but now my father is in a very comfortable mood.

Happy New Year to everyone, may the Year of the Rabbit be auspicious!
