Chapter 1123 Marin teaches his son
After arranging Sconda and other Chinese-speaking subordinates, Marin called Caesar into his secret room and personally told him. After all, even if Sconda couldn't teach others Chinese, what if Caesar taught Chinese to Angela and Ferris himself? Therefore, Marin called Caesar himself and told him to keep it confidential.
"Son, these secrets are the last trump card left to you by dad. If dad can't come back this time, you can wait until you are 16 years old to smash the hut and take out the books. Remember, these books are written in Chinese, and you must first learn Chinese! In addition, it is not allowed to teach others Chinese, even your mother cannot do it! Grandpa and grandma cannot do it!"
When Caesar heard Marin's words, he was shocked:
"Dad, since it's so dangerous to go out, don't go out, okay? I'm afraid!"
After a moment of silence, Marin said with a serious face:
"This is Dad's dream! Moreover, Dad has you as a son, so he can go out and take risks. And you, remember, if you don't have a son in the future, you are not allowed to take risks, do you know? Also, men are not allowed to shed tears!" After saying that, Malin gently wiped his son's tears.
Caesar nodded as if he was strong:
"Yeah, I get it!"
But after a while, Caesar asked in confusion:
"Dad, why can't you tell your mother the secret? Mom is also a very important relative!"
Marin asked back:
"If I died outside this time, do you think your mother would remarry?"
Caesar thought about it and said with some headache:
"Well... I don't know..." Caesar is 7 years old and has had contact with many noble families. Naturally, he knows that many noble ladies remarry after their husbands die. Among them, the most likely one is the widows of the generals. After all, the general is bound to die in front of the formation. If the general dies and their wives are still young, the chance of remarrying is still very high. However, although the young Caesar knew this, he was unwilling to believe that his mother might remarry. Therefore, he gave such an ambiguous answer.
Marin smiled, knowing that Caesar had figured it out, so he said:
"It seems you have figured it out too. Your mother is still very young. If I died outside this time, she might have remarried quite a bit. Think about it, if she gave birth to someone else's baby after remarrying, would it be your brother?"
"It should...it should be..." Caesar was a little uncertain. After all, he was still young and did not have a thorough understanding of things.
"That's a half-brother. He looks like a brother, but he is a family of two families, and even his surname is different. So, that's not your real brother, I can only say that he has a relative relationship with you!"
"Oh, but, what does this have to do with me not being able to reveal my secret to my mother?" Caesar asked back with a cute look on his face.
Ma Lin held his forehead and realized that his son was only 7 years old and his understanding ability was still very low...
So he had to patiently explain:
"Look, if your mother remarries and gives birth to a baby with another uncle, then that baby is someone else's baby. Because, his surname is not Hoffman... But for your mother, she is the same as you, her baby, and she is also loved by her... Can you understand?"
Caesar frowned and thought for a long time before nodding, saying:
“It seems like this…”
Marin said again:
"You are your father's only son or the heir to the eldest son. Do you have any good things to keep for you in the future?"
Caesar nodded, this is easy to understand...
"But it's different for your mother. Let me give you an example, your grandma has 4 sons, and your father is the second son, right?"
Caesar nodded...
"According to the rules, should grandparents keep good things for your uncle Adler?"
Caesar thought about it and nodded...
"That's right. Your grandfather likes your uncle the most because men like the eldest son. However, your grandmother likes your father the most. She gave the inheritance rights of the Earl of East Friesland to your father first..."
Caesar tilted his head and thought for a while, and said:
"Dad, do you mean - men like the eldest son, but women may like the younger son?"
Marin was stunned, feeling that although this explanation was inaccurate, it made some sense. So he didn't care whether it was right or wrong, and gave affirmation first:
"Yes, that's it. Men like the eldest son because the eldest son is the heir!" This statement is actually not true. Because generally speaking, only nobles value the eldest son, and ordinary men may like the youngest son. But Marin doesn't have time to slowly give Caesar science, so he gave the right to the wrong.
"I understand, what you mean is that men will leave good things to their eldest son, while women may leave good things to their younger son?" Caesar speculated using his tender child psychology.
Marin nodded quickly:
"Yeah, that's right, that's right, Caesar, you're so smart! I asked you to keep it a secret because I'm afraid that your mother will share those secrets with you who may not be your younger brother in the future. Do you understand?"
Caesar nodded thoughtfully, and his serious look was so cute.
Marin reminded again:
"Son, remember not to let your mother know about this. Otherwise, she will be very unhappy." Before the incident happened, Marin didn't want Angela to be sad. After all, if she didn't die, Angela would still be a good wife.
"But I was very unhappy when I remembered that my mother might give my things to my brother who was not my younger brother in the future..." Caesar said depressedly.
"Haha..." Marin laughed happily and raised Caesar and said:
"Where do you want to go? Isn't this happening yet? It's not that your father will not be able to come back. This time I went out, the chance of my return alive is still very high. Only when something really happened to me can you be careful of your mother. If I come back, we will still be a family that loves each other! Do you understand?"
"I understand..." Caesar frowned again, and then said:
“The world of sir is so complicated…”
Marin:...
...
Afterwards, Marin told Caesar not to show any other thoughts in front of Angela, and after rehearsing for a long time, Caesar learned to pretend to be nothing.
But Caesar was still young after all. Because of his worries, he always showed a melancholy expression in his brows in the next few days. Fortunately, Marin helped cover up and cover it up. Also, Angela was not very scheming and did not notice this. Felice was even more scheming, but Marin told Caesar not to contact this little aunt in the future, so as not to be seen by the other party.
After many days of personal guidance and training, Caesar finally learned the first lesson of the king - not showing his emotions...
However, Marin was also worried - should he teach the child this skill too early? If he comes back safely, what should the child do to fool himself with this trick? In this way, there will be difficulties in education in the future...
