Although this is a bit like "political adoption" like "political marriage", it is an extremely common thing in a big family.

You know, the ancients were extremely persistent in passing on the family line.

If a family does not have a son, it will definitely adopt someone else's child.

There are generally two situations here.

One is adoption between brothers of the same clan. For example, if a younger brother has no son, he can request to adopt his older brother's son. In this case, the elders in the family will generally allow it.

There is another situation, which is to adopt the son of an outsider. Of course, this is relatively rare.

In the first case, there will often be a series of cunning operations.

For example, the once arrogant Yuan Shao was originally a concubine, born to a maid in his family.

It stands to reason that with such a status, not to mention going to Imperial College, serving as an official, and recruiting heroes, even any resources in the family will not be tilted towards him.

However, Yuan Shaoleng won the favor of his father Yuan Feng with his series of performances.

Then, the father and son performed an extremely "angry" operation.

That is, Yuan Feng first adopted his concubine Yuan Shao to his second brother, Yuan Shao's second uncle Yuan Cheng. After Yuan Cheng died, Yuan Feng took Yuan Shao back as his stepson.

——When the elder brother dies, the younger brother raises the elder brother’s son and treats him as his own. Is this reasonable?

And this happens again and again.

Yuan Shaona's status as a "concubine" became a "legion", and like his eldest brother "Yuan Ji" and his third brother "Yuan Shu", he enjoyed all the benefits of a legitimate son.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, rituals and music collapsed, and many big families would play tricks like this.

Compared to them, Zhuge Jin's side is much more pure.

He simply did it because his younger brother Zhuge Liang had nothing to do for more than ten years and mentioned in the letter that he would not consider taking concubines for the time being...

Calculating this, as the elder brother, and Zhuge Jin who valued the prosperity of the Zhuge family more than the sky, he had the responsibility to adopt a son to his younger brother, and he was bound to do so.

Of course, this son could be the eldest son Zhuge Ke, or the current youngest son Zhuge Qiao.

Originally, Zhuge Jin could just make this decision himself.

Whether it’s Zhuge Ke or Zhuge Qiao!

As a son, you can only let it be and cannot disobey.

But this time, Zhuge Jin left the decision in the hands of his son Zhuge Ke.

Whether he, Zhuge Ke, stays, or his brother Zhuge Qiao stays, it all depends on him, in a matter of seconds.

"call…"

Zhuge Ke, who looked gloomy, took a deep breath.

This is a tough choice.

He didn't want to leave, let alone the father who gave birth to him and raised him, but... could he bear the departure of his younger brother? Brother Qiao... was only seven years old!

Of course, he understands better...

The reason why the leader of the Soochow Kingdom agreed to the request of his father and second uncle, the defeat in the battle of Xiaoyaojin, the loss of Jingzhou under the Hefei Gambling Game, was the source of all this.

And these…

He and Zhuge Ke also participated and played a very important role.

It can be said that the current situation is that Zhuge Ke is throwing rocks at his own feet, stealing the chicken but losing the rice... This is because he has personally brought himself or his younger brother into it.

"If...if I hadn't credulously believed in Hong Qigong...if...if I hadn't persuaded my father to write to the Marquis of Wu, then...there would have been no Hefei bet, there wouldn't have been..."

Zhuge Ke paused and couldn't help but lower his head. His eyes were squeezed into slits, and his eyes were already filled with tears.

At this moment, he was in pain, he was confused, and he was at a loss!

He didn't even know how to choose.

at this time…

The cry of "Wow wow wow" came out.

He noticed that from where he stopped, through the window, he could clearly see a crying baby in the house.

"Wow wow wow, wow wow wow, I want a mother, I want a mother..."

It turned out that this was a common people's house. The young baby was having a tantrum and crying because he couldn't find his mother.

Weng Weng patiently fed him, "My mother has something to do. Come and have a bite. Have a bite."

The little baby sobbed, "I want my mother, I want my mother to play with me."

For a time, the baby's crying became louder and more urgent. This time, the children's crying was so noisy that the neighbors were uneasy.

At this moment, an upright and middle-aged man walked over impatiently. His next-door neighbor's baby's crying disturbed his lunch break, so he immediately shouted.

"If you cry again, then Zhang Liao will come!"

This sentence is equivalent to... comparing Zhang Liao, a majestic general of Cao Ying, to an old monster with a "green face and fangs" who can also eat children!

What is incredible is that when these words came out, the child miraculously did not dare to cry.

It was as if he was afraid that Zhang Liao, an old monster, would come and eat him.

Her teeth chattered as she bit her lip, but tears kept falling from her eyes, but there was no more crying from her mouth.

Come on... come on!

Cry, don’t dare, don’t dare!

This is like the Southern Dynasties, when children cried and adults said "Yang Big Eyes" is here.

In the Song Dynasty, when a child was crying, an adult said the extremely humiliating phrase "Brother Yelvxiu"!

Coupled with Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, these "strong men" have the effect of "hitting the nail on the head" and "stopping crying".

——It can be called a Megatron Kindergarten!

——So terrifying!

Zhuge Ke, on the other hand, saw everything...

The child's tears gradually stopped, but Zhuge Ke's tears fell down like a broken bead chain.

How can Zhuge Ke stay in Jiangdong?

Although…

This blame does not belong to Zhuge Ke, but Sun Quan has firmly passed this blame to his father Zhuge Jin.

Can Zhuge Ke imagine how much ridicule he and his father would receive if they stayed in Jiangdong?

Can he, who has always been proud of his talent, endure this pain?

But...

It is undeniable that Zhuge Ke had no fault in this process.

——His fault is too big!

His fault caused Soochow to lose Jingzhou!

Finally, Zhuge Ke's clenched fists loosened and he gritted his teeth, as if he had made his final decision.

——"I...I'm going..."

——"How can someone else fight for the mistakes I made? I...go!"

Although I don’t want to!

However, having reached this point, Zhuge Ke chose to take the responsibility himself.

Although he was not convinced, Zhuge Ke had to admit it.

——"Hong Qigong, Hong Qigong, I want to defeat you one day and avenge my shame, but...I have to join you now!"

Thinking of this, Zhuge Ke cried.

"Because...because I can't beat you, I...I can only join you!"
