"My younger sister went to study in China. Did she personally investigate the history and deeds of our ancestors?"
"So, our Lin family's bloodline is much more noble than the Tokugawa family's. Why are those bastards from the Tokugawa family still pretending in front of us?
Previously, several cousins from my eldest and second uncles’ families publicly humiliated us and called us the shame of the Tokugawa family, saying that we have the blood of the Tokugawa family flowing in our bodies and that we are the shame that the Tokugawa family cannot wash away. Bah… I think we are dirty!”
…
The couplet that ranks Lin Tongchun's four sons according to their generations goes like this: "They are good at teaching and have the right way to become sages and wise men, so they become ministers and are favored by the emperor. They are knowledgeable about human relationships, cultivate filial piety and friendship, and follow their uncles to show their natural talents." After the character "Tong", the character "Bo" comes next.
So they were named Lin Bozhen, Lin Boxing, Lin Bozhong and Lin Bohua, which means "revitalize China".
The eldest, Lin Bozhen, is 32 years old this year. He is Lin Tongchun's right-hand man and handles the main affairs of the Central Industrial Corporation for him.
The second son, Lin Boxing, is 30 years old and is not interested in business. He is focused on academics. He is a top student who graduated from the Computer Science Department of Stanford University in the United States. He just returned to Japan after graduating with a doctorate and wants to achieve results in the semiconductor field based on his research.
The third son, Lin Bozhong, 27 years old, loves music. He graduated from the Berklee College of Music in the United States. He is good at playing Western instruments such as piano and violin. When he was in college, he formed a heavy metal band with several black classmates at school.
The fourth son, Lin Bohua, is 25 years old. He is not as dazzling as his three older brothers. He did not study abroad, but studied at Waseda University, majoring in agricultural science, which is very consistent with the name of the school.
However, even though these four sons were so knowledgeable, none of them had carefully studied and investigated the origin, identity and deeds of their Lin ancestors.
Now, hearing my youngest sister tell the story in this way, it seemed as if the power and glory in my blood had suddenly awakened.
Lin Tongchun's eyes also lit up. Since he was a child, he had heard the uncles and aunts in the village talk about their prominent ancestors and some rumors about the Jiumu Lin family.
However, there is an old Chinese saying that goes "A good man never brags about his past achievements."
Descendants who are not doing well are ashamed to talk about the glory of their ancestors.
Only when one has achieved certain success and can bring honor to the family, will they hold grand ancestral worship ceremonies.
Lin Tongchun believed that he was not yet at the stage where he could bring honor to his family, so he never discussed with his children the Lin family's ancestry or matters such as returning to China to worship their ancestors.
However, he did not expect that his most beloved youngest daughter had investigated all these surname inheritances thoroughly, more detailed and complete than what he knew himself.
"Huizi, is it normal for you to talk to your elders like this?
Don't be led astray by Lin Tongchun. You have the noble blood of the Tokugawa family.
Convince your mother to bring you five siblings back.
I can make the decision and grant you the right to have the surname Tokugawa.
With the help of our Tokugawa family, you don't have to worry about the "Tomorrow Comics Weekly" that you acquired.
Your grandpa wants to see you too, come back, kids! Returning to the Tokugawa family is the true way to recognize your ancestors. "
Tokugawa Iehashi, who was left with no room for rebuttal by Kobayashi Keiko, softened his voice a little, trying to win over and influence Kobayashi Keiko.
However, Keiko Kobayashi was not moved at all. She said righteously: "Mr. Tokugawa, I think you are old and your hearing is not working well.
I have just said that the bloodline inheritance of our Lin family is many times higher than that of your Tokugawa family.
Also, you don't need to worry about the comic magazine I acquired. I believe that in the near future, you will truly understand it correctly."
At this point, Keiko Kobayashi looked back at the expressions of her parents and brothers, then smiled playfully and said to Tokugawa Iehachi on the phone very impolitely:
"One last thing. It seems that the upbringing of the Tokugawa family is really not that good. You called so late at night and disturbed our family's rest, but you didn't apologize to us for it. This is very rude.
So, please forgive me for hanging up on you now."
Click!
Keiko Kobayashi was very decisive and hung up when she said she would.
When Tokugawa Iehatsu heard the beeping tone of the hang-up notification, he was completely confused.
In the whole of Japan, the number of people who dared to hang up on him so rudely could be counted on one hand.
But he didn't expect that he would be humiliated by his sister's daughter, such a yellow-haired little girl.
But unfortunately, the other party was very sharp-tongued and he didn't get any good results the whole time.
"Very good! Lin-san, you really raised a good daughter. I want to see how big a career your Lin family can achieve in Japan..."
