The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 155 Wei Rentu wants to eat fish!
Cui Mian left, and Wei Rentu slowly sat up from his bed. For a moment, Wei Rentu remembered the first time he and Cui Mian met.

Wei Rentu and Cui Mian met for the first time in the hospital. Everyone knows that in ancient times, due to poverty, war, natural disasters, even patriarchal preference, feudal superstition and other reasons, people were actively or passively "abandoned". “There are many behaviors, and there are many orphans.

But at the same time, the survival of babies is a major event related to the increase or decrease of population and the rise and fall of dynasties, and rulers have to pay attention to it.

Therefore, starting from the pre-Qin period, successive dynasties have issued decrees to provide basic living security for orphans who have lost their parents and relatives, which is called "compassion for orphans."

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi set up a "Guard in Hand" officer, who was responsible for finding adopters for orphans, and inspecting and supervising the living standards of these orphans after they were adopted.

As a reward, families that adopt orphans can be exempted from labor to varying degrees according to the number of adopters.

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin established a hospital. Why is it called a hospital? That's because in addition to rescuing orphans, Li Shimin also further expanded the scope of assistance. In addition to the elderly and orphans, he also added patients who were poor and had no money to see a doctor. called "sick room"

Moreover, Li Shimin also combined the adoption system of the Tang Dynasty with the patriarchal system. For example, the patriarchal system requires that the inheritance of heirs must be carried out according to certain rules, and these rules are mainly determined based on factors such as family, clan, blood relationship, etc. of.

Under such a system, if a family does not have a male son or eldest son, it is very likely that they will choose to adopt other people's children to inherit the family's incense and ensure the continuation of the family.

Therefore, the development of the adoption system is also inseparable from the requirements of the patriarchal system.

Wei Jin and Cui Mian came to the hospital to adopt a child because they had nothing to do. If they were satisfied with the child, they would have an heir. The so-called heir refers to the son who inherits the family business, usually the eldest son.

If a family does not have a son or eldest son, adoption can be used to establish a mechanism for family continuation.An adopted son has the same status in the family as a biological son and is required to follow the same family traditions and etiquette.

A big shot came to the ward looking for a son to have an heir. The news spread in the ward immediately. At that time, all the boys between the ages of five and eight in the ward began to long for their own son. In the future, they think that as long as they become the sons of important people and establish heirs, then their own good days will come.

Wei Rentu is also one of them. However, there are too many children aged five to eight in this ward, at least more than 20 of them. Among them, Wei Rentu is a very inconspicuous child, with no other facial features. She is not as beautiful and smart as the other children, so how will Wei Jin and Cui Mian choose her?

Soon a fire broke out in the ward. The fire swallowed up almost 80.00% of the elderly and children in the ward. Only a few people were left, and only the children aged five to eight were left. Wei Rentu is a person.

When Wei Jin and Cui Mian saw Wei Rentu together, Wei Rentu had a face full of soot and was in a very embarrassed state. Cui Mian covered his nose in front of Wei Rentu, but Wei Jin said that he must survive the catastrophe. Later blessing.

Then because there was no competitor, Wei Rentu naturally became the child of Wei Jin and Cui Mian.

From then on, Wei Rentu had his own yard, served his servants, had clean clothes, and delicious food. Unfortunately, Wei Rentu did not usher in a happy life.

Cui Mian is a competitive person. Not only herself, she also wants her children to be very good, so she forces Wei Rentu to learn every day, from calligraphy to music, to poetry and songs, the Four Books and Five Classics. , Wei Rentu only needs to be half a point behind others, and he will be punished by kneeling down, or whipped and served.Fortunately, Wei Rentu had been studying hard, so he was beaten less and less by Cui Mian.

It can be said that Wei Rentu has survived until now under Cui Mian's strong pressure. When he was very young, Wei Rentu had a psychological shadow on Cui Mian and did not dare to resist Cui Mian at all.

However, Wei Rentu's spankings were less, which resulted in more abuse for other children. Many parents went back and scolded their children for not even being as good as an adopted bastard, and they might as well not learn.

The child insisted that if he didn't learn, he would not learn, and then he was whipped. At that time, beating children was a rare and common thing. As a family law, parents beat children, and the emperor couldn't control them.

The beaten child did not dare to resent his parents, but he wanted to vent his anger, so he could only vent his anger on Wei Rentu, the adopted bastard. He was bullied in school, ambushed outside school, and was attacked by these things outside. The aristocratic children were beaten all over the ground.

But after returning home, Wei Jin and Cui Mian wouldn't even look at him. They would only tell Wei Rentu not to offend each other, so Wei Rentu could only endure it because he was an adopted bastard and he had no complaints. rights.

At this time, Wei Rentu did not have any thoughts about princes and generals like Xiang Ning, because the nine-level Zhongzheng system at that time was very successful in brainwashing the people. Wei Rentu always thought that he was a bastard and did not dare to attack those who beat him. There was a little resistance from the aristocratic children.

As time went by, Wei Rentu slowly grew up. He began to desire power and status. At the same time, he also despised those who were inferior to him. Like Cui Mian, in Wei Rentu As long as the servants in the courtyard did not satisfy Wei Rentu, they would be beaten or scolded.

In Wei Rentu's view, a lowly bitch like you is only worthy of being my own slave. I have the right to dominate you. It can be said that Wei Rentu has perfectly implemented Cui Mian's attitude towards him into those of other people. Not as good as oneself.

In the past, no matter how Cui Mian dealt with him, Wei Rentu could endure it, whether it was beating or scolding, Wei Rentu was happy with it, but today Cui Mian said that he would be deprived of his identity as the eldest son of the second wife of the Wei family. At this moment, Wei Rentu Tu felt unprecedented despair.

If he no longer has the identity of the eldest son of the second wife of the Wei family, what else does Wei Rentu have? Will Wei Rentu become exactly the same as the servant he despised before? This is unacceptable to Wei Rentu.

Thinking of this, Wei Rentu slowly got out of bed. He went to a secret compartment next to his desk. After opening it, a small pigeon cage was revealed in the secret compartment. He took out the pigeon cage and removed it from the pigeon cage. Take out a white dove and put a message on its leg. The content of the message is very simple and only has five words: I want to kill someone!

The time has come to the Qiqiao Festival. Today, all the workers in Lijia Village have a day off. Except for a few people who stay at home to watch the house, most of them are going to take a walk in Chang'an City.

Li An, Li Duoduo, Liu Xiatian's family, Liu Xiadi's family, Qin Shi's family, Zhao Qiang's family, Liu Yi, Zhou Qing. Of the five teams, only the second team Shanjin took the initiative to stay on duty, and everyone else was happy They entered Chang'an City.

And they still go to the most beautiful Qujiang Pool. Li Zhi and Li Mingda will wait for Li An and everyone from Lijia Village to play in Qujiang Pool.
