Chapter 1935

~4 min read 771 words

Late at night.

In the bedroom.

The candle flickered, and the warm yellow light shone on Chu Qingluan's softer side face after she took off her jewelry.

"Husband's two masterpieces today are both whimsical, eye-opening, and amazing." Chu Qingluan said softly, her eyes flowing with light, carrying sincere admiration.

"Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit are chivalrous, and Shenbing Little General wins with strange soldiers. They are all good stories that teach through entertainment. It is a blessing for Ling'er and Junjun to have such enlightenment reading materials."

She was truly shocked.

These two children's enlightenment reading materials, whimsical, are completely different stories, but they were just Gao Yang's temporary idea, written in one go.

This talent is shocking!

Gao Yang's lips raised slightly, his gaze cast toward the candle, and he said slowly, "Actually, compared to 'Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit' and 'Shenbing Little General', I have a more basic and more critical enlightenment book in my heart."

"Oh? What is it?"

Chu Qingluan was curious.

She was delicate and transparent, and immediately realized that Gao Yang hadn't written it out, so this enlightenment reading material must be unusual.

I'm afraid... there's a lot to it!

Gao Yang slowly spat out three words, "Its name—'Hundred Family Surnames'!"

"Relatively speaking, 'Hundred Family Surnames' is more suitable for young children as enlightenment!"

"'Hundred Family Surnames'?"

Chu Qingluan read it once, only feeling that although the name was simple, it faintly revealed an atmosphere that included everything and traced the source.

She said, "Husband, is this Hundred Family Surnames for teaching children to recognize the surnames of the world?"

"Exactly!"

Gao Yang nodded slightly, his knuckles tapping the table unconsciously.

"The so-called Hundred Family Surnames is to gather the surnames of the people of the world with catchy rhymes, which is convenient for children to recite and memorize, know the inheritance of surnames, and understand the roots of themselves."

"This is the foundation of enlightenment, indispensable!"

Chu Qingluan's eyes lit up, "This method is very good, and compared to stories, Hundred Family Surnames is easy to understand, more suitable for young children's enlightenment. The world depicted by Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit and Shenbing Little General needs to be told by storytellers, not read by children alone."

"Husband, why don't you write it out together today? If the three parts come out together, it will be enough to lay the foundation for the enlightenment of children in the world!"

"Could it be that husband has concerns?"

Chu Qingluan looked at Gao Yang, exploring an answer.

Gao Yang tapped on the table unconsciously, slowly and rhythmically.

His eyes were deep, and he said gently.

"Qingluan, everything fights for the word 'first'. Since it is Hundred Family Surnames, the first surname is the most important. Should this be written as 'Wu' surname, or the powerful families like Cui, Wang, Zheng, Lu, and Rong that have occupied Da Qian for hundreds of years?"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken.

Chu Qingluan's pupils shrank, a chill ran up her spine, and she suddenly understood.

Gao Yang's words immediately woke her up.

If Gao Yang hadn't resigned, he wouldn't have to be so entangled, but now, it's a huge problem!

The first surname is extremely noble.

This should be written as "Wu", symbolizing the supreme imperial power, but there is also a saying circulating in the world.

Flowing emperors, iron-clad families.

Those powerful families that have lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years are lush and leafy in the local area, their forces are intertwined, and their prestige and foundation sometimes even override imperial power!

If Hundred Family Surnames takes "Wu" as the honor, this is invisibly raising imperial power, weakening the foundation of the family, and scraping the flesh of the family!

But Gao Yang openly broke off relations with Wu Zhao. If he launches "Hundred Family Surnames" at this moment, taking Wu surname as the honor.

What is this?

Flattery?

Bowing your head?

But if you submit to the family and take Zheng, Rong, Cui, Lu as the honor, is that declaring war on Wu Zhao?

Although Wu Zhao has no intention of taking action due to the mutual restraint of gunpowder and the huge business network, this move is no different from looking for trouble.

Gao Yang knew that Chu Qingluan understood his meaning, and his voice carried a hint of coldness and mockery.

"In this Changan, in this Da Qian, and even looking at the whole world, what is truly on the lips of the people is not the emperor, but these powerful families that have experienced vicissitudes and have high lintels."
