After Zhang Guoqing sat down, he opened the file. After a moment, he burst out laughing: I never expected to meet an orphan descendant of a Qing Dynasty nobleman.
Zhou Jiao put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at him puzzledly.
"Look?" Zhang Guoqing handed her a piece of paper. "If it were in the past, maybe this little girl was a princess or something."
"Qi Kejiu? So it should be Qi Jiashi Kejiu?" Zhou Jiao smiled indifferently, "People with the surname Qi Jiashi are not royal family, so what's the point of calling her a princess?"
"Look again, what's her mother's last name? Jin." Zhang Guoqing touched his chin. "She was able to marry into the Qi Jia clan, and was a child marriage to her, and she's from an ethnic minority."
In addition to the royal family, the Qing Dynasty also had eight major surnames: Tonggiya, Guwalgiya, Majia, Niuhuru, Qijia, Fuca, Sochorolo, and Nara.
Among them, Qijia clan was the most distinguished of the eight major surnames, mainly because Qijia clan had a small population, and things were valuable because they were rare, so the marriage partners at that time were also extremely valuable.
After that, the Qing Dynasty ended, and not only the eight major surnames but also the royal family changed their surnames. The Aisin Gioro clan either changed their surname to Jin or something else.
Isn't it possible that it's Qi Kejiu's mother?
"Do you suspect that Xiaojiu's mother is a descendant of some impoverished royal family?" Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes at him with a smile, making her bloodline seem very noble.
"Just kidding. But, wife, marrying a daughter-in-law from an ethnic minority does have some advantages. Even if the family planning policy is strict, we can still have a second child in the future."
Zhou Jiao glanced at him speechlessly. Wasn't it too early to say that? Was he so sure that Wuyi had to be with him? Who knew what changes would happen after a few years abroad?
Maybe one day in the future I’ll bring you a foreign daughter-in-law!
Zhou Jiao put aside all distracting thoughts, lowered her head and reviewed it, looking at him strangely, "With such an identity, Qi Jiawei was able to join the army?"
"What's so strange about this? Aren't there a lot of people with the surname Guan and other names? These Eight Banners descendants aren't orthodox after all. In the past, every family had direct descendants and illegitimate descendants, and every family had clan members."
Zhou Jiao thought about Mr. Ai and Master Jin, then nodded in understanding.
"Then there's really no need to change your surname. For example, Qi Jiayuan, he's Qi Jiayuan, and who can say there's something wrong with his surname? It's not Niu Huluyuan."
Zhang Guoqing smiled upon hearing this, "Who knows? I guess the elders in my family changed their surnames to escape the war, and then after liberation, the dynasty changed again. There must be many reasons."
"As the saying goes, no flower lasts forever, and no one is perfect for thousands of people. Our family must leave a way out for our children. Such a good girl is so pitiful now."
"What do you think of this girl?"
"It's okay."
Zhang Guoqing thought to himself: Nonsense! If it wasn't possible, you wouldn't have brought the girl back to the old house. Why didn't his wife understand what he meant?
"shortcoming?"
"With this little girl's ability to read people's expressions, it's not impossible for her to have a good relationship with the Zheng family. She's arrogant, but a little too timid.
This is a lucky coincidence for our child, otherwise the exchange student spot would have been snatched away by the Zheng family. What could she do then?
Report? Haha~ Once the Bai family gets involved, these cunning people will find enough excuses. This is the only thing that makes me dissatisfied with her. If she really waits until she turns 18, the opportunity will be gone.
Of course, there may be other reasons, but it's a bit too compromising. She has a million ways to get her father's pension back, but she still endures the bullying of Zheng's mother and daughter. It doesn't make sense."
Zhang Guoqing frowned after hearing this, "Have you told Wuyi about this?"
Zhou Jiao shook her head. "If my son can't even see this, I'll be very disappointed. I plan to put it under his nose and take a good look at it first."
"Aren't you worried about falling in love?"
"Hehe, you're wrong." Zhou Jiao smiled slyly, "It's really not suitable. Even if we go to the United States together, I have a way to keep my son away."
Zhang Guoqing patted her head with interest, "Are you planning to throw money at it like those TV dramas?"
"I'm stupid." Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes. "My son has big ambitions. With his slow-witted brain, if you give him any task, he'll be busy as hell."
Zhang Guoqing gave her a thumbs-up exaggeratedly, "My wife is amazing."
Zhou Jiao laughed happily, "I was just kidding. If my son really likes it, I won't let him suffer. I consider myself the most democratic mother."
This mother, who considers herself the most democratic, got up early in the morning and had no choice but to go to work. She had no time to observe the love affairs of the younger generation.
Before Zhang Guoqing got in the car, he took his three sons by the hand and slipped them away, claiming to cultivate a father-son relationship. He was determined not to allow any adverse factors to disturb his family.
For example, family secrets, life and death feuds, and other bloody plots are all man-made. It is better to suspect and isolate first.
"Dad, do we still need to cultivate our relationship as father and son? You're not my stepfather."
"That also deepens the relationship."
"Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say."
"Xiaobao, don't you understand?" Ping An crossed his legs in the back seat. "Our dad couldn't bear to leave you, so Liuyi and I are just along for the ride."
"Are you jealous, Dabao?"
Zhang Guoqing slapped his youngest son's forehead in amusement. "You haven't suffered any loss at all! I see those people tear up when they go abroad, but why are you so happy?"
Liuyi snorted, "Dad, you don't understand, he just wants to run away."
"Second, no provocation."
"Your brother is right. I'm old now. My son dislikes me." Zhang Guoqing lowered his shoulders. "Back then, I took care of everything..."
Wuyi was so scared that she immediately took his arm and said, "Dad, let's not act anymore, okay? Who said you're old? When you go out, you're our boss, really."
"You little bastard!" Zhang Guoqing cursed with a smile.
"Look, this is my dad. Dad, can I lift the ban on alcohol?"
"You can do it at home, but not outside, especially abroad. This is the house rule. Not only you, but your brother and the others have to abide by it too."
Alcohol can lead to sexual misconduct and even cause mistakes. This rule was set by his daughter-in-law specifically for his sons, and he dared not change it without permission.
Including him, even though he and Yi Jiefang and the other three often get together to drink, that is at home. If they go out, they just drink lightly.
That's the bad thing about Wuyi: he wants to challenge everything and is curious about everything. If he hadn't been a practical kid since he was a kid and had traveled a lot, I'd really be worried about him going abroad.
The temptation of the outside world is too great.
Zhang Guoqing's conversations between men soon filled the carriage.
Xiao Zhu, who was driving, laughed muffledly when he heard it, but soon he began to restrain his smile. He listened to the sound and gripped the steering wheel thoughtfully.
Just as the chief said.
The times are progressing. While it has its good side, it also has its drawbacks. If you want to gain a foothold in this world and adapt well to the environment, you have to be on guard against some tricks.
Especially for those of them who are guards, who knows how many tricks they have in secret, and whether they are waiting for them to make mistakes?
