Chapter 2790: Grasping the Weekly Grasping Ceremony at the Full Moon
Zhao Tiezhu has his own ideas about his children.
Zhao Tiezhu's idea is very simple, that is, he will never let his children kill each other. Living in a big family, Zhao Tiezhu has seen enough of brothers and sisters killing each other because of the family property and inheritance rights. Not to mention the distant past, the Zhao family alone has Zhao Meiqin and Zhao Dong. Each of them is a thinking individual. Even for his own sons, Zhao Tiezhu can only guide them, but cannot change their thoughts. If he waits for decades, when he has children and grandchildren, his eldest son, second son, third daughter, etc. will also jump out to fight for the family property and inheritance rights, then Zhao Tiezhu feels that his life is too sad. No matter how powerful and awesome he is now, if he encounters such a thing when he is old, his reputation will be wasted.
And these things will not happen just because Zhao Tiezhu does not want them to happen.
Therefore, what Zhao Tiezhu has to do now is to prevent such things from happening. There are several ways to prevent such things from happening. The simplest one is to only have one child, that is, Zhao Gangbin. In this way, he will never have to worry about anyone coming out to kill Zhao Gangbin. However, if he does this, the consequences will obviously be very serious.
First, it will not be acceptable to Mr. Zhao, who wants him to have more children. Second, it will not be acceptable to his parents. Zhao Ergou always cries that he wants to bring more grandchildren to smash, loot and burn. If he only has Zhao Gangbin, Zhao Ergou will definitely not agree. Third, it is his woman. Which woman does not want to have a blossoming relationship with the man she loves? If Zhao Tiezhu only has children with Su Yanni and does not have children with others, it will definitely lead to favoritism, which is not what Zhao Tiezhu wants to see.
In addition to this method, there is another method, which is to determine Zhao Gangbin as the heir early. In this way, when he retires in the future, Zhao Gangbin can take over his business naturally. However, this is also unfair to other children. Moreover, which woman does not want her son to be a dragon among men? The emperor's women often fight to the death for the position of the crown prince. Therefore, this method does not work.
These two methods did not work, and Zhao Tiezhu was a little helpless, so Zhao Tiezhu had another method, which was the method of grabbing the week.
That is to say, when each child is one month old, Zhao Tiezhu will let them do the "Zhuazhou" (grab the week) ritual. Of course, this ritual is usually performed when the child is one year old, but the rules of the Zhao family are not like this. The ancestors of the Zhao family think that the Zhao family can do the "Zhuazhou" (grab the week) ritual when the child is one month old, because the Zhao family must be more powerful than ordinary people. Zhao Tiezhu agrees with this. Although Gangbi is only one month old now, he looks very energetic and smart. He doesn't look like an ordinary one-month-old child at all. Zhao Tiezhu's idea is to wait for his children to do the "Zhuazhou" ritual when they are one month old. Whatever they grab, they will be guided to develop in that direction. For example, if they grab a pen, they will be guided to go the literary route. If they grab money, they will be guided to make money. Then let them develop on their own. After a few decades, we will see who is suitable to inherit the Zhao family.
Of course, these things are a bit far-fetched, but it is undeniable that these things are more or less useful in the future.
Under the auspices of Yang Jun and Lin Si, the full moon wine ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner, and the guests here were very enthusiastic to cooperate with the activities arranged by the host.
When the ceremony was almost over, Zhao Tiezhu picked up the wine glass and started to toast, and Cao Ziyi followed Zhao Tiezhu and helped Zhao Tiezhu hold the wine bottle.
According to the rules, toasts should start from the most honorable people, and the most honorable group of people at the scene were Wen Changlin and Zhang Yihuang's table. Zhao Tiezhu drank two taels at this table, and then went to other tables to drink. You know, there are hundreds of tables today. If each table drinks two taels, it would be dozens of kilograms. Even if Zhao Tiezhu is a god of wine, he can't drink that much, so Zhao Tiezhu just drank a little at other tables.
When it came to Wang Xiaoyue's table, the group of young people burst into cheers.
"Teacher, you are so amazing." Wang Xiaoyue whispered, "Even the provincial party secretary of our fj is here, teacher, I admire you so much."
"Many people say so." Zhao Tiezhu said proudly.
"Tsk, teacher, you really don't know how to be humble." Li Ke said on the side.
"Too humble is hypocritical." Zhao Tiezhu said with a smile, "I never do hypocritical things. Okay, come on, everyone, drink if you can drink, drink if you can't, drink beverages, you have to drink them all. After we finish here tonight, if you want to continue, I will arrange someone to take you to the most fun nightclub in the whole capital."
"Okay, okay."
Soon after leaving Wang Xiaoyue's table, Zhao Tiezhu came to Lao Shi's table. In addition to the old bug Shi and Ye Shishi, Lao Shi's table also had several people from the Shi family and the Ye family, one of whom was Shi Huntian.
"Boss, being in the underworld is really fun." Shi Huntian had drunk quite a lot, and he pulled Zhao Tiezhu aside and whispered, "Hanging out with a bunch of kids every day, I feel like my state of mind has changed again. I feel like my fists are more powerful than before."
"Haha, if you make progress, just keep following them, haha." Zhao Tiezhu smiled and patted Shi Huntian on the shoulder, saying, "One day, we can all be in the top five."
"Yeah, top five, haha, if I, Shi Huntian, can be in the top five of the God List, I will die without regrets, haha."
In this way, Zhao Tiezhu drank from table to table, and when he returned to the main table, Zhao Tiezhu had drunk at least more than a pound of white wine.
At this time, it was time to start the "Zhuazhou" ceremony.
The things for "Zhuazhou" were very simple. According to the rules of the Zhao family, there were mainly a few things, a fountain pen, a coin, a stamp, and an unsharpened knife, representing several routes respectively. The fountain pen represented literature and art, the coin represented business, the stamp represented being an official, and the knife represented martial arts.
The four things were placed on a tray. Cao Ziyi held the tray and stood in front of Gangbi, while Gangbi looked at everything in front of him with his eyes open and curious.
"Son, take something." Zhao Tiezhu looked at Zhao Gangbi expectantly.
Zhao Gangbin, who had grown much faster than his peers, slowly stretched out his hand under the expectant gazes of the people around him.
