Chapter 463 The guests and hosts enjoyed a delicious meal. They were a little restrained at first, but they were soon captured by the delicious food. Not only Xue Li devoured it, but even Mr. Wang praised it again and again!
"I often hear people say that the food at Hou Mansion is the best in the world, and today it is well-deserved!"
Wang said in admiration.
Mother Ji just smiled and said nothing when she heard this. She had heard such words so many times that she could no longer be moved.
"Uh!"
Xue Li burped and looked at everyone sheepishly.
"You said you were like a starving ghost reincarnated." Mrs. Wang lightly hit her son, making him feel angry.
Xue Li scratched his head, his dark face a little red.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We haven't entertained guests all year round. This shows that the cooks in the Hou Mansion are not lazy. Eat more if it's delicious."
Ji Song held the two villains in his arms and interrupted.
"I want daddy to want it."
The little monkey was now familiar with Ji Song, so he pointed at the dessert on the table and asked for it.
Of course, this has a lot to do with his constant feeding just now!
"Okay, here's it for you!"
After saying that, he gave him a small piece of dessert. The kitten didn't make any noise, but with that longing look in his eyes, Ji Song certainly couldn't disappoint him! "You give him less dessert!"
Mother Ji complained.
Mrs. Wang looked away with hot eyes and said cautiously: "Can I give you a hug?"
Ji Song and Ji's mother were stunned, as if they thought of something, Ji Song directly handed the brat over.
"What can't be done about this? This brat is restless. If you don't mind, just hold him!" Ji Song said with a look of disgust.
Mrs. Wang quickly said: "Slow down, slow down, such a young child will be hurt to death if he bumps into her."
After receiving the child, Wang's eyes were full of joy! The brat is not afraid of food either. He pulled a handful of Wang's hair and asked for food.
"Everyone likes their sons, but this boy treats his daughter as a treasure. He holds her daughter in the palm of his hand and holds her in his mouth. He loves her so much." Ji's mother rolled her eyes at Ji Song and said speechlessly.
Mrs. Wang teased the children and said with emotion: "The Marquis is not very old, but he fought on the battlefield for the Tang Dynasty and made many agricultural implements to benefit the people all over the world. These two children should be God's reward for the Marquis!"
Then he looked at his son, with a look of disgust on his face and said, "This is the only one in the family who doesn't live up to expectations, and I want to get him engaged, but he says what's the point of having a family before he has established a successful career?"
"The way he looks, when will I be able to hold my grandson in my arms?"
Xue Li was restless as he listened and whispered: "Aren't studies the most important thing?"
"Snapped!"
Xue Li looked at Ji Song, wondering why he hit him.
"Shit's merits, your husband and I got married when I was not as old as you. I can't help it. You are the only one in your family. Getting a family and starting a career as soon as possible is the right way."
Ji Song has come to see clearly over the years that in this era, family is what everyone can rely on most. No matter how capable you are personally, if you do not establish a certain relationship during your lifetime, you will inevitably weaken within three generations.
Why can't you be rich for only three generations?That's incompetence.
Look at the five surnames and Qi Wang, as well as the Dou family, the Yan family, etc., didn’t that flourish for hundreds or even thousands of years? Even in later generations, this kind of thing will be unavoidable, let alone now? Therefore, as long as the family is prosperous and does not stand out, even if one generation fails to live up to expectations, it will at best be weak and prosperous again within a few decades.
Looking at the population distribution of surnames in later generations, there can easily be tens of millions of people with one surname, and some are even close to [-] million.
Such a large population did not form overnight. Although there are cases of barbarians reforming, they are still a minority.
How could there be such a large population if there were no families that have been divided and moved for thousands of years and controlled a large amount of social resources?Although the family may be divided, compared with outsiders, when you are at your lowest, they are the ones most likely to help you make a comeback.
With a strong family, as long as you are not a living person and hate ghosts, you will have a chance to start over.
"If you have a girl you like, tell your aunt if you do. With my Ji family's reputation, I can marry even the daughter of a wealthy family."
Wang was overjoyed when she heard this, but just as she was saying something, she was stopped by Xue Li.
Mrs. Wang shook him off and said angrily: "What can't be said? What's wrong with my son? I tell you that you don't want to tell other women. Now that the Marquis has spoken, you are blocking him. When can you get married like this? "
Ji Song asked curiously: "Is it really true?"
Mrs. Wang sighed: "The old woman doesn't know what to do anymore."
Through Wang's report, Ji Song found out that she was a woman from Liu's family in Hedong.
Although the Hedong Liu family is not as powerful as the five surnames and Qi Wang, they should not be underestimated. This is also an old family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years.
Its ancestor was Liu'an in the late Qin Dynasty, which was 900 years ago. It was developing well until the early years of the Jin Dynasty. After the Yongjia Rebellion, except for some who stayed in Hedong, two groups moved south, namely the Dongjuan and the Xijuan. .
At this time, in the Guanlong area, although they were not as powerful as the Wei and Du clans, they were still pretty good, and they were also considered well-known families in the Hedong area.
Moreover, the Liu family also comes from the surname Ji. According to records, he is the son of Zhou Gongdan and a descendant of Gongzi Zhan. He later moved to the Jin Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The Ji family and the Liu family have cooperated frequently in recent years, and the relationship between the two families is quite good.
"But the Liu family's legitimate daughter?" Ji Song asked.
This point must be asked clearly. It would be a bit troublesome if she was a legitimate daughter.
Nowadays, the aristocratic family doesn't even have the respect of the emperor. Even if they learned a lesson last time, if they want them to marry their legitimate daughter to the emperor, it will probably give them a head start.
They just wanted to save face and asked Mr. Liu to marry his legitimate daughter to Xue Li. It would be fine if he became famous at this time, but it is probably a bit uncertain now.
I remember in his previous life that his first wife was the daughter of the Liu family, but I don’t know what’s going on?
Hearing Ji Song's inquiry, Wang quickly said: "No, no, we don't dare to expect a legitimate daughter. She is a daughter of a side branch, but her family is also very powerful in Hedong, so..."
He sighed again, the meaning is self-evident!
Ji Song could also imagine what was going on. It was just that he was not in the right family and his family did not agree.
Wang continued: "I originally sold my family's land to his family, and ended up working for the Liu family. I have met that girl, and she is a very nice woman."
"But" he said, looking at his dejected son, he was immediately speechless!
Ji Song didn't say whether he agreed or not, but just said to Xue Li: "Look up, who is a man showing with his head downcast?"
"I ask you now, what do you think?"
Xue Li looked hesitant, but quickly calmed down and stood up and said, "I will not marry anyone but her in this life. He has been very kind to me. I cannot let her down as a student!"
"Then what do you want to do?" Technology continued to ask,
"I will surrender to the army right away. I must"
But before he could finish speaking, Ji Song was holding the kitten and kicked him to the ground.
"sir you"
Xue Li said a little confused.
