"marriage?"
Teng Qingshan continued, "Father, mother, it's too early to talk about this. I don't want to get married right now."
"What's that called?" Teng Yongfan frowned, put down his chopsticks, and reprimanded, "Qingshan, there are three unfilial acts, and having no offspring is the greatest! Getting married or not is not something you want or not, but something you have to do! For your own sake, you should also think about your mother and me. We are waiting to have a grandson."
Qing Yu on the side covered her mouth and snickered.
Teng Qingshan felt bitter in his heart.
This ancient and modern thinking is completely different. People in modern society value children very much, not to mention this ancient, it is a family's incense inheritance, which is more important than life! If Teng Yongfan dared to say today that he didn't want to get married for the rest of his life, his father, Teng Yongfan, would be so angry that he would pick up an iron gun and hit him no matter how much he liked his son.
"Brother Fan, Qingshan will just come of age in a few days, why are you in a hurry?" Yuan Lan, the mother next to him, pulled Teng Yongfan, "Didn't you have a son when you were twenty-eight?"
"Because I'm late, Qingshan wants to be early." Teng Yongfan was a little angry, "Get married early, and have children earlier!"
Having a son at the age of twenty-eight is purely late childbearing.
Uncle Teng Yongxiang is only two years older than Teng Yongfan, but Teng Yongxiang's son 'Teng Qinghao' is 27 years old this year, and he will be 28 after the New Year Festival. Teng Qingshan is fully twelve years older than Teng Qingshan. Even have three children. Why is Teng Yongfan not in a hurry
After all, he himself was late, so of course he wanted his son to hurry up.
"Father, it doesn't mean that we got married early." Teng Qingshan even argued, "I'm not saying that I won't marry, but I'm not in a hurry to get married."
The past life is the past life, and the present life is the present life.
Surrounded by strong family affection these years in Tengjiazhuang, Teng Qingshan is no longer the ruthless killer in his previous life. He also didn't want to refuse to marry in this life because of what happened in his previous life. Even for the sake of his parents, he must marry a daughter-in-law in the future. It's just... It's impossible for Teng Qingshan to just find a daughter-in-law who looks beautiful and pleasing to the eye and marry him. This is unlikely.
"Father, I have to find someone who is right for me to marry a wife." Teng Qingshan joked with a smile.
"En." Teng Yongfan felt a little better now.
"Qingshan, how many wives are you going to marry in the future?" Teng Yongfan said again.
"Pfft." Qing Yu, who was eating, spit out rice grains, glared at her father, and said dissatisfiedly, "Dad, you and uncles, most of them just marry one. Why do you mention this?"
Teng Qingshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You child, what do you know?" Teng Yongfan said with a grimace, "Look at your grandfather, he has three daughters-in-law. Your third uncle who lives in Xitou also has two daughters-in-law. The more capable this man is, We need to marry more wives! Go to the city and see, among those big businessmen, there are not a lot of wives."
Teng Qingshan covered his head.
Headache!
If you don't have past life memories, you will get used to it, but Teng Qingshan is really not used to it.
Teng Qingshan also knew about those businessmen. There are regular wives, flat wives, and a bunch of concubines, and there are a lot of children. Among the common people, since many of them could not support themselves, of course they married a daughter-in-law. It is normal for someone with a little ability to marry two or three daughters-in-law.
"Brother Fan, why don't you marry another one?" Yuan Lan, the mother next to her, looked at Teng Yongfan.
Teng Yongfan smiled: "Alan, I'll be fine if I have you." He pulled Yuan Lan's hand, "But Qingshan is better than me, so he should marry a few more. This man is very powerful. One can see how brave he is. The second one depends on how many children you have! The more children you have, the easier it is to pass on the family business in the future."
"Father!" Teng Qingshan hesitated, but decided to talk about it first.
"Why, unhappy?" Teng Yongfan asked Teng Qingshan.
"No, I have something to say." Teng Qingshan was a little solemn.
"Speak." Teng Yongfan also listened carefully.
"Father, I fought against the second leader of the Tieshan Gang two years ago. You already know that I have a huge strength. Now, my strength has improved slightly compared to before. According to the outside world, I should be considered first-class Warrior." Teng Qingshan said.
"Yes." Teng Yongfan and Yuan Lan listened carefully to what their son said.
Teng Qingshan said: "I can feel that the fight between the White Horse Gang and the Tieshan Gang is getting more and more fierce. It is estimated that there will be a result soon. I think... When the two gangs decide the winner, Yicheng calms down, and the Teng family The village has returned to tranquility. I will leave Tengjiazhuang and join Guiyuanzong!"
"Leaving Tengjiazhuang?" Qing Yu who was beside him exclaimed.
But on the contrary, Teng Yongfan and Yuan Lan were not surprised at all, and they looked at each other.
When Teng Qingshan was just born in this world, he had the idea of going out into the world and seeing the world's masters. Otherwise, what is the purpose of his uninterrupted hard work every day? Let him spend his whole life huddled on the land of Tengjiazhuang, Teng Qingshan might not be able to bear it.
"Qingshan." Teng Yongfan smiled and patted Teng Qingshan's shoulder, "Actually, your mother and I have long thought that one day you would mention this matter."
"When you were six years old." Teng Yongfan smiled, "At that time, your grandfather and the others insisted on letting you enter Guiyuanzong. They even forced you and locked you in the woodshed. But you didn't want to leave at that time... In fact, you and I Mother, I've been thinking, a genius son, we Zhuangzi, we can't keep you locked up for long."
Yuan Lan beside him also smiled and said: "Qingshan, mother is very happy, the man's aspirations are all over the world, and the famous hero in Yicheng, which one didn't make his way in the world and become famous?"
"Mother." Teng Qingshan found that his mother's eyes were red.
"Qingshan, with your strength, it is easy to join Qinghu Island. You should also know that Qinghu Island is one of the eight major sects in Kyushu. It is much stronger than Guiyuanzong." Teng Yongfan said.
Indeed, among the Kyushu in the world, the first sect in Yangzhou, 'Qinghudao', is one of the eight major sects in Kyushu.
As for Guiyuanzong, although they were ranked second in Yangzhou and 'Tieyimen', in Kyushu, they ranked in the dozens.
"Father." Teng Qingshan said with a smile, "After all, Guiyuanzong controls our Jiangning County. After I join Guiyuanzong, I will still live in Jiangning County. And I can come back to see you often in the future! As a first-class fighter With the strength, joining Guiyuanzong, it must not be difficult to get ahead. At that time, it can also help our Tengjiazhuang."
Teng Yongfan's eyes lit up, and he patted Teng Qingshan on the shoulder: "You are worthy of being my good son, Teng Yongfan!"
"Well, Qing Shan, I will see my mother once a year, and my mother will be very happy." Yuan Lan's eyes turned red, "Other times, you work hard, your own affairs are more important."
"Father, mother, I haven't left yet. I won't be able to return to Yuanzong with peace of mind until the chaos in Yicheng is settled." Teng Qingshan said.
"Well." Teng Yongfan nodded, and then looked at his wife, "Alan, since Qingshan has decided to return to Yuanzong in the future, then... don't agree to those matchmakers. My son's future success is far from that of Tie. The three heads of the Shan Gang and the Fourth Master Hong of the White Horse Gang are comparable to them. The daughter-in-law I will marry in the future will also be a young lady who can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Teng Qingshan couldn't help laughing.
He understands what the people of Tengjiazhuang think. To be able to marry a lady who can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in their opinion is a matter of glory.
*****
The news that Teng Qingshan was going to leave Tengjiazhuang did not spread, and only a few people such as the patriarch knew about it. Everyone agreed with Teng Qingshan's decision.
Boys aim everywhere!
Only those who have the ability can go out and make a living.
At the same time, he was also happy that Teng Qingshan would join Guiyuanzong instead of joining Qinghu Island. Once Teng Qingshan is in a high position in Guiyuanzong, then Tengjiazhuang will be able to get rich.
…
A few days later, the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day of the New Year Festival.
On this day, Tengjiazhuang was very lively, and everyone in the village gathered to eat and drink together, very happy. And in the evening, a group of young people in Tengjiazhuang also officially came of age. Among them is Teng Qingshan.
At night, torches were lit around the training ground, and many clansmen gathered around tables to eat and drink.
"Qingshan! Congratulations on your adulthood. In the future, you may be able to marry a wife and have a baby. Haha... Come on, let's have a toast." Teng Qinghao walked over holding a big bowl, and Teng Qingshan also held a big bowl with a smile: " Come on, do it!" The two clinked bowls, then raised their heads, and drank cleanly in one gulp.
"Brothers." The burly man wearing a black leather jacket next to him looked at Teng Qingshan and the others and said with a smile, "I have to tell you something."
"Qinghu, what's the matter?" Every young man from the Teng clan looked at Teng Qinghu.
Teng Qinghu smiled and said: "No accident, I will get married next year."
"Qinghu, you kid, I've urged you a long time ago, you kid is finally getting married." Teng Qinghao couldn't help laughing and cursing, after all, Teng Qinghu had passed the New Year Festival, and he was already twenty-two years old. Twenty-two-year-old men are almost all married in Tengjiazhuang.
"cousin."
Teng Qingshan grabbed Teng Qinghu's arm, dragged it aside, and said in a low voice, "Cousin, what do you think? Didn't you say that when the chaos in Yicheng is settled, you plan to return to Yuanzong with me? Why did you get married again in a blink of an eye? gone?"
"Qingshan." Teng Qinghu said with a smile, "this man, of course he has to go out and venture. However, after marrying a wife, it's okay to join Guiyuanzong again. Anyway, when the time comes, when I gain a firm foothold in Guiyuanzong, I will marry my daughter-in-law. Take it again! I didn’t get married before, so I didn’t find someone I like, but this... Qingshan, your sister-in-law, I fell in love with her at a glance. "
