All Hail Cousin Brother

Grandpa Xie took the box, took out the token and rubbed it gently, with a very complicated expression: "This branch of Xie's house is a remnant of the Yue Kingdom, and later the Yue Kingdom was destroyed. Incognito, this token is the proof that we are descendants of the Si family."

Yin Huaixi was surprised.

The surname of the monarch of Yue Kingdom was Si, and Si was the surname given to Yu by Shun. After King Goujian of Yue moved his capital to Langxie, in order to dominate the Central Plains and become one of the great powers, he advertised as "Yue is Empress Yu" and actively absorbed the culture of the Central Plains. He coexisted peacefully with the princes of the Central Plains and maintained a peaceful rule for a long time.

This is a fusion of Vietnamese culture and Central Plains Han culture.

Later, Chu destroyed the Yue, and the Yue was not completely destroyed. It fell to Qin, and the Yue Kingdom officially perished.

The remnants of the Yue Kingdom, together with the feudal lords in the world, destroyed Qin and returned to Han rule.

Later, he was awarded the King of Fujian and Yue, and continued to worship the Yue Kingdom without being ruled by the Han people.

Until the period of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, the rest of the Minyue tribe was completely subordinated to the Han Dynasty, and the people migrated to live in the Jianghuai area.

The Yue Kingdom is a prince who has been active in history since the Xia Dynasty.

From this point of view, Xie's background is really not small, no wonder the ancestors left a legacy of "the world is not an official".

The identity of the descendant of the King of Yue family, this background, is indeed enough to compete with King Wu Mu Dingbei. Grandpa Xie told him this secret, which was a test and a deterrent.

The Jianghuai area is located in Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan and other places, and covers most of the central and southern regions. There are many people from Fujian and Yue.

As the "royal family" of Fujian and Vietnam, even if the honor of the ancestors is not there, the surname Si has a huge influence in the central and southern regions.

The Jianghuai area has been an important place for grain production and commerce since ancient times, and it is also a battleground for military strategists.

He borrowed Ye Hanyuan's hand and took advantage of the southeastern coastal area, but the strong dragon couldn't suppress the local snakes, and Xie's house could hold him by the throat in terms of food and commerce.

This is the pride and heritage of the Xie Mansion.

Yin Huaixi said cautiously: "Xie's residence has an extraordinary history, please forgive me for the disrespect."

Mrs. Xie shook his head: "Xie's residence is incognito, it has forgotten its ancestors, and it is not worthy of inheriting the virtues of ancestors, making King Wu Mu laugh."

A simple sentence with deep meaning.

After several dynasties and generations, Fujian and Han have achieved cultural integration. However, the identity of the descendants of the Yue royal family cannot be praised by others. The change of the surname of Xie Mansion is for the sake of future generations and to seek stability for future generations.

From the Xia Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, the Yue Kingdom was all feudal lords and great powers, and the so-called virtue of the ancestors was even more cruel.

Self-proclaimed that he has forgotten his ancestors and is not worthy of inheriting the virtues of his ancestors.

Grandpa Xie is a sensible man. The Xie family has already boarded the ship of King Wu Mu Dingbei. He exposed his family for the sake of his granddaughter, showing weakness and trying to strengthen.

He took the initiative to give his weakness to him in order to surrender.

At the same time, it also puts huge chips on the bright side, and only if there is value can it be qualified for negotiation.

Yin Huaixi nodded: "Hundreds of good and filial piety are the first, but there are three kinds of unfilial piety. No descendants are great. The Xie family inherits the legacy of the ancestors and helps the world. This is a great act of pure filial piety."

Mrs. Xie didn't say any more, and then changed the words: "It is reasonable to say that the marriage between you and Xiaoyao'er was ordered by Mrs. Yu herself when she was dying, and it could be regarded as the order of the parents. Naturally, the Xie residence has no objection."

When Yin Huaixi heard this, her eyelids twitched, and she had a bad premonition.

really!

Grandpa Xie changed the topic and asked knowingly, "Does Xiaoyao's father know about your marriage with Xiaoyao'er?"

Yin Huaixi bit her head and said, "I don't know."

"That's it," Mrs. Xie's expression loosened, and she smiled: "Mrs. Yu left it before her death, and let Xiaoyao'er return to Xie's will, and the token she gave was also given to Yao by Xie's back then. My wife's family heirloom, I didn't want to come to this marriage, and I also meant to let the Xie family intervene."

The only difference is that it is not clear that the marriage is the fate of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

Mrs. Yu passed away, and Yu Zongzheng should take charge of the marriage, but Yu Zongzheng did not know that Yu Youyao had returned to her mother's clan, and Yu's family could not interfere in her marriage.

The only one who can really decide is the Xie House.

Yin Huaixi sighed in her heart, Jiang was still too old, and it was obviously impossible to get away with just a token.

He also carefully considered his words: "Mrs. Yu hopes that I can get the approval of Xie's house, and under the witness of Xie's house, I will marry with a slender body."

Having learned the origin of the token earlier, Yin Huaixi knew that he was placed by Mrs. Yu.

The token is a real token, but Mrs. Yu also dug a hole for him at the same time.

What to say, don't tell Yaoyao about the token for the time being.

In fact, Mrs. Yu didn't promise him anything at all, let alone make any promises about this marriage, but left it to the Xie family to make plans in disguise.

Only then did he post a pilgrimage as King Wu Mu Dingbei.

Put a position first, let Xie Fu know that he is not someone who can get rid of him with a few words, and it doesn't matter whether he is low-key or low-key.

Grandpa Xie peeped into his mind.

He also assumed the identity of a descendant of the Yue royal family and dealt with him.

Grandpa Xie frowned: "Xiaoyao'er is still in the period of filial piety, and it's not easy to plan for marriage. Why don't you wait for Xiaoyao'er to finish her filial piety, and then ask Xiaoyao'er what it means?"

As the granddaughter of Yu Youyao, according to the funeral ritual system, she only needs to be filial to Mrs. Yu for one year, and then she can fulfill her filial piety.

The bad is bad. Yu Youyao has a deep relationship with her grandmother. She has to be filial to Mrs. Yu for three years. After three years, Yu Youyao will be sixteen. He can wait, but he can't.

At least the status must be settled first, and with the permission of the elders, it is justifiable to cultivate feelings.

Otherwise, what would he do? He even asked Mrs. Yu for a token. As soon as he came to Quanzhou, he couldn't wait to go to the door of Xie's house and reveal his identity?

Yin Huaixi expected this, and also made plans: "I want to come to the old man to hear that in the first half of the year, a crop called sweet potato was widely planted in the north, because the appearance of this crop has greatly eased the drought in the north and helped the Wumu Palace to stabilize. The northern border has contributed greatly."

Grandpa Xie’s eyelids twitched heavily. Xiaoyao’er’s merchant ship went to sea with Xie’s house. Xie’s house also knew the origin of sweet potatoes. Xiaoyao’s trial planting was successful for two years. Later, in Yehanyuan, Zhejiang, King Wumu of Youzhou Thanks to the promotion of the plant, it has been planted on a large scale, which he knows better than others.

King Wu Mu deliberately mentioned this, could it be...

really!

Yin Huaixi continued: "The high yield of sweet potatoes, dozens of stones per mu, is twenty times better than that of planted grains. In addition, it is moist and edible, which not only satisfies one's stomach, but also quenches thirst and produces saliva, which can replace drinking water. Alleviating the famine will benefit the people all over the world. The merit is in the present, and the benefit is in the future. I plan to go to the court and ask for the credit for the head of Shaoyi County."
