Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Zheng Tai looked at Zheng Ling quietly, and after a while he spoke, "If I had doubts about Kang Chenggong's judgment before, now there is really no doubt that you are indeed qualified to open your spiritual talent."

When Zheng Tai said this, his expression was actually very complicated. The Zheng family was wealthy and powerful, with a strong foundation. The fact that they could form a complete bureaucratic system was enough to illustrate the strength of this family, but this family had always lacked truly top figures.

Of course, the Zheng family has people of the level of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, but there are also differences in ability among the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers. What the Zheng family lacks is someone with truly powerful abilities.

In fact, even when the official history developed to the era of the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats and the Four High Surnames, the Zheng family's strongest thing was not their own top-level building, but their huge foundation. However, this does not mean that the top-level building is not important. On the contrary, the top-level building is really important. It is equivalent to a spectacle and is something that really has an upper limit.

The Zheng family lacks such a thing. Up to now, no one in the entire Xingyang Zheng family has any spiritual talent. Although not having this does not mean death, it will be a little bit different.

For the Zheng family, they do not need too many spiritual talent possessors, one is enough, and compared to things like quasi-spiritual talents, what they need is an orthodox spiritual talent possessor, a spiritual talent possessor who was born in the Zheng family and can integrate the foundation of the Zheng family.

But I never made it out.

As I said, spiritual talent does not seem difficult to acquire. There are dozens of them in the entire Central Plains, and some families even have nearly double digits. Moreover, the experts have also said that as long as you receive the right education at the right time and your aptitude is not too bad, you can unlock it.

However, the problem lies here. This is just like what Han Xin said: all you need is hands.

At the very least, the Zheng family really did not find a family member with not so bad qualifications. As for receiving the right education at the right time, to be honest, for the Zheng family, as long as they can find such a person, they have plenty of ways to let this person receive the right education at the right time. If it really doesn't work, they can always find a suitable teacher by begging for help.

It’s a pity that the Zheng family missed this opportunity. Damn old man, he’s so useless!

"So what if I have the qualification?" Zheng Ling shook her head.

However, Zheng Ling had been married for five or six years at that time, and Zheng Tai really had nothing to say. He could only accept it. Of course, he vaguely didn't quite believe it in his heart. But this time, Zheng Ling fought back and really stood in front of him. When Zheng Tai laid out the matter, he was certain that the guy in front of him probably really had the qualifications.

As for males and females, it is not important at this level. What is important these days is whether you have it or not. Women can also be used as men. As for the resentment in your heart, what? Do you look down on our thousand-year-old lineage's management ability? As long as we are sure that we have the ability, we can definitely soothe all the resentment in your heart.

So after Zheng Ling thought about what Zheng Tai said righteously, she realized that it was impossible to achieve, because sending her to study would likely benefit the Zheng family more than their own family.

When Zheng Tai opened his mouth, she thought about a lot of things. Even though she was just a little slow, her already very sharp brain made countless judgments, and there were even some judgments that she nodded in agreement. But in the end, Zheng Ling still shook her head and refused.

At worst, he could use the boomerang to hit Zheng Ling hard and make her understand why big families have to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children. If they don't, you can just wait for family members to kill each other.

In fact, for most of the families that were able to establish a country in Central Asia, it was not difficult to gather the resources for promotion. They had plenty of ways to get in touch with those truly top educators. For these families, what really made them uncomfortable was that they did not have anyone who could use this resource.

The only suitable one in the past ten years is Zheng Ling. Zheng Tai found out about it a few years ago when he went to Chang'an to attend a court meeting and met Zheng Xuan. Zheng Xuan accidentally revealed it to him when they were chatting. To be honest, at that moment Zheng Tai almost wanted to strangle this old man to death.

As for why it is not a younger sister, if a daughter is born, then she will not be born to the Wang family, but to the Zheng family. The Zheng family will try every means to prepare everything for this daughter, and then the direct descendant of the family will marry her and make her the mistress of the Zheng family.

"After a female possesses spiritual talent, there is a high probability that the first child she gives birth to will also have the spiritual talent." Zheng Tai said calmly, adding weight to the situation once again.

"Forget it, no need to say more. I don't have the time, and I understand you, Patriarch." Zheng Ling bowed, no longer showing the previous anger that wanted to confront Zheng Tai head-on.

To be honest, Zheng Ling herself knew that if she gave birth to a daughter, she would not be able to prevent such a thing from happening. The money the Zheng family could take out was enough to crush them to death. Moreover, her daughter would definitely need to get married, so it didn't matter who she married. Marrying into the Zheng family of Xingyang, at least there would be a share of the incense.

Zheng Tai just didn't believe that the old man didn't know what was missing from the Zheng family of Xingyang.

When I open my spiritual talent and give birth to another child, my family will fall apart after I die. After all, Zheng Ling has learned a lot from Zheng Xuan. She knows very well that knowledge and force are the foundation of rules. Although her eldest son is excellent among ordinary people, he has wasted the past seven or eight years when his parents need his education the most. Now he has to face a younger brother with spiritual talent...

"You are still young, you really have a chance." Zheng Tai said without giving up. Although his brain is not as good as those with spiritual talents, he has experienced more things and seen more things. After Zheng Tai was sure that Zheng Ling could really awaken her spiritual talent, Zheng Tai began to think about training Zheng Ling.

Not to mention the outrageous fact that there is a high probability that the first child born to a female possessor of spiritual talent will also be born with spiritual talent, the fact that she would need to study hard for seven or eight years would be enough to waste her eldest son and daughter.

It was nothing special, it was just that the boomerang hit her. She believed in Zheng Xuan's judgment and also believed that Zheng Tai would definitely find a way to get her the prerequisite resources needed to upgrade her spiritual talent. After all, these things were nothing to the powerful family of Xingyang Zheng.

But Zheng Ling still refused. Just like what she said before, why are some people born standing in the sky? Why is there such a damn concept as legitimate sons and illegitimate sons? We are all human beings, and we should all be the same. But Zheng Tai told her honestly that they are not the same.

On the one hand, it can completely eliminate resentment, and on the other hand, there is a high probability that you can have two generations of spiritually gifted people belonging to your own family. After all, the mistress who marries in is also your own family, right?

The Zheng family has no shortage of this capital; their background allows them to do this, but what the Zheng family lacks is a family member with reliable qualifications.

Besides, even if Zheng Ling really gave birth to a son, the Zheng family would not lose out! Zheng Ling eliminated her resentment, and the child she gave birth to would still be a nephew-uncle relationship with the Zheng family. This was the closest of relatives, and it was not a matter of losing anyway. As for Zheng Ling's eldest son, it was not important.

Zheng Ling shook her head. She had made up her mind. She could study slowly on her own. If she could develop her spiritual talent, then she would do so. If not, then forget it. It would not be a loss. In short, she could not relax in the education of her eldest son.

Seeing the determination in Zheng Ling's eyes, Zheng Tai realized that he could not convince her. He could only sigh and curse Zheng Xuan in his heart for not telling the old man earlier. If he had told the Zheng family before Zheng Ling got married, they would have found a person with spiritual talent by now.

After sending Zheng Ling away, Zheng Tai collapsed in the chair. What can he say? He was pissed off to death by Zheng Xuan. The old guy is useless!
"Ling'er, are you really not going to continue your studies? You are a spiritual talent." After Wang Ke and Zheng Ling came out from Zheng Tai's place and walked a long way, Wang Ke suddenly spoke.

"No, although it's a good thing, Zheng Tai may not have good intentions." Zheng Ling said coldly, "I haven't wasted seven or eight years studying hard and traveling around the world to broaden my horizons. These things should have been done when I married you ten years ago." "Actually, that's okay. You go to study, and I will bring the kids to see you when I come back." Wang Ke suggested, but was interrupted by Zheng Ling before he finished speaking.

"It's not that simple. First of all, I missed the best time to study. Now because of my age and my habit of self-study, I can continue my studies. But if I want to study at this time, I have to work hard and find a professional teacher." Zheng Ling sighed.

To be honest, Zheng Ling could all guess who the teachers the Zheng family would find for her after she nodded. Zheng Xuan, Wang Lie, and Pang Degong were the only ones, because only these guys were suitable. After all, she was a woman, and only these old men or female teachers like Cai Yan would be suitable.

The problem is that those three old guys are all quite old, especially Zheng Xuan, who is over eighty years old. If Zheng Xuan could be a dozen years younger, Zheng Ling would have gone. After all, both sides have a relationship of closeness. If that doesn't work, she can just pay her respects to Zheng Xuan, who will still teach her. Moreover, Zheng Xuan will also help broaden her horizons and teach by example. But now Zheng Xuan is really old.

Zheng Ling estimated that if she continued to study with Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan might die in a few years, and she would have to change teachers. These were all problems. Considering that she could not be distracted to educate her eldest son, and asked the Zheng family to educate him, she could basically give everything she had to the Zheng family as a wedding dress.

This is not a joke, Zheng Jia really has this ability.

Look at such a big family like the Zheng family. There are not many traitors in the family and the overall family tradition is very good. Except for Zheng Ling, who was married off and ran back to fight with the Zheng family, there was no other fun. This shows how strong the Zheng family's education and management capabilities are.

If Zheng Ling really handed her son over to the Zheng family for education, it would basically be like a wolf walking into a tiger's mouth.

Zheng Ling did not tell Wang Ke these words, because it was meaningless. Everything Zheng Tai did was obvious to Wang Ke. It was not a deliberate target. It was just a small negative effect. But if you can't withstand this negative buff, then there is nothing you can do.

"That's it. If it can be opened, that's the best. If it can't be opened, forget it. It's not a big deal." Zheng Ling said very casually. "Besides, the Zheng family has hit their foundation twice, and I feel much better. Let's go and continue to study and research."

Having said that, even Wang Ke could feel that his wife was actually somewhat disappointed. People are like this. When they know that they were once able to do something but missed it due to an accident, they will inevitably feel disappointed, let alone a ticket to stand at the top of the world.

"Let's go and study. You are a wife who has the opportunity to unlock her spiritual talent. If you work hard, you can teach the children, right?" Wang Ke patted Zheng Ling on the shoulder and Zheng Ling nodded. As for resentment, maybe it still exists, but it is very weak. Zheng Tai's explanation and apology have resolved almost all the resentment, and some is more of a pity.

Some feel sorry for themselves, while others feel sorry for the Zheng family.

If most of the middle-level officers in Central Asia were poached or learned from the strengths of their father-in-laws, then there is a group of them who are now very embarrassed. They don't know what to do because their father-in-laws are the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

Although the Cao family is not a prosperous and wealthy family, and the Xiahou family is not a super wealthy family, they actually have quite a lot of family members. In addition, Lao Cao was very powerful after the Northern Frontier, so when Lao Cao wanted to get involved in this matter, Chen Xi had no intention of stopping him.

Just participate if you want to. If you want to marry the daughter of your own family, just marry her. How can I stop you?
In fact, when the wedding happened, there were really not many people in Sun Ce's family, and they had no daughter of marriageable age. So all the other people who were presentable enough gathered together. Even Zhou Yu found two distant aunts from somewhere to make up the number.

After all, some things look shameful, but when other large families are involved, it always feels a bit out of place if you don't participate. Zhou Yu's Zhou family is a wealthy family after all. They can create a large family with a contempt chain for common people against official families like Zhuge Liang. Even if there is no one, they can still squeeze out a few.

In short, all the prominent families participated at that time, and all the girls who participated in the large-scale blind date, no matter which family they came from, got married.

After all, the girls in this circle are prettier and more educated than the girls that ordinary centurions can find in the countryside. What's more, since it's the country that's helping them, they will at least dress up these girls to ensure that they appear more elegant in front of these veterans.

Therefore, both the Cao family and the Xiahou family participated in this large-scale blind date event, and they can be regarded as integrating into the circle of aristocratic families. Even if they are at the bottom of the contempt chain, at least they are still in the contempt chain. The real trash cannot enter the contempt chain.

But to be honest, the girls from the Cao family and the Xiahou family were actually of pretty good quality. In fact, apart from Cao Cao's appearance, the other girls from these two families were all of decent quality. In addition, Zhang Fei was clinging to Xiahou Juan at the time, and many centurions in Zhang Fei's army had seen him, so they would have wanted to become distant relatives of Zhang Fei or something...

However, it was fun back then, but now it’s a waste.

"Brothers, are you going or not?" Standing in the wind and frost under the city of Herat, seven or eight middle-level officers were somewhat hesitant. After all, if they went further, they would really reach Cao Cao's territory. They also knew what the people under Cao had done before. They were truly unfilial.

"Tell me why I had such a sudden impulse to marry the daughter of Cao family?" Zheng Ke said with a look of despair. However, just after he finished speaking, the fierce woman next to him gave him a sidelong glance. In other words, she should have pulled Zheng Ke's ears at this time, whether in front of others or behind their backs.

"Lao Cao is really a beast. What should we do? Let's go and learn from Lao Cao. Maybe my father-in-law's family has been chopped down." Jiang Dan looked at his wife speechlessly. "I heard that there was a big commotion at the time. Maybe they really were chopped down."

"It hasn't been chopped off yet. My father even sent me a letter in the middle of the year." Xiahou Zhen looked at her husband helplessly. To be honest, she didn't want to come either. Now she wants to cut ties with her own family. What is she doing? Can't she do something normal people do? It's too much.

"Are you going? We're already in Herat." Zhang Yi was somewhat silent as he looked at the city of Herat ahead. He didn't want to go either, but since he was already here, it would be a bit strange not to go to his father-in-law's house. Besides, his wife really hadn't seen her father-in-law for several years.

"Can I not go?" Kuang Ding had a desperate look on his face. He used to live a very good life. His father-in-law moved to Central Asia. He hadn't had any contact with him for many years and there was no need for him to visit him. He just spent the New Year with his wife every year, and so on, year after year. Last year, he heard that his father-in-law's family had a big affair. Let me tell you first, his wife's surname is Cao, and her name is Cao Huer.

This is terrible. If his wife hadn't repeatedly assured him that everything was fine at home, Kuang Ding would never have come. After all, in the eyes of these officers and soldiers who had climbed up from the bottom of the society, Lao Cao was now a trash man, a pure trash man.

"Let me tell you first, there are no brothers from Xuzhou among us." Zhang Yi suddenly asked. When they were going on blind dates, there was an order that officers from Xuzhou were not allowed to go on blind dates with the Cao and Xiahou families. However, this led to some rebellious psychology. Some people just wanted to go on blind dates with the Cao and Xiahou families. There was no other intention. You can kill my whole family and dig up my ancestral graves. If you get the chance, kill whoever you can.

"We are all from Yanzhou." Kuang Ding sighed, "What should we do? Should we go or not? Does anyone have an idea? I even want to turn around and go to the neighboring family."

"I have some thoughts too, but we are already here, let's go." Jiang Dan, the oldest, said with a sigh, "It's okay if it's uncomfortable. We are here to study. There shouldn't be anything wrong. There shouldn't be any war recently."

It's the end of the month, hurry up and vote, the author is gone
