Chapter 1346: Women in Jun Family

Jun Zhao looked at his son helplessly. "You have heard about how Jun Family grow richer and then fall from time to time, haven't you?"        
   
"Yeah." Jun Fang nodded.    

It's said that they came to Han Zhui City around two to three centuries ago. At that time, they're very rich and powerful and basically swept the entire cities around to be under Jun Family. And everyone respected them.    

But war started and the head passed away due to old age. But as time passed, the descendants were not powerful enough to control so many properties. They began to split and eventually deteriorate. And around a century ago, someone began to gather them all and brought the family to be famous around a century or two ago. At that time, the Jun Family was truly on its peak as there were no one who would dare to offend them in the slightest bit.    

But when the leader passed away, the family was split again. At this point, the number of people in Jun Family was so pitiful that others could only sigh when they saw them.    

"Aside from being a merchant, our ancestors also liked to count stars and calculate people's fortune." Jun Zhao sighed. "The last person whom I know doing it is my grandfather, but he said that he couldn't really see anything and could only guess."    

"… Does it mean that when we're at our peak, it's because we're relying on counting the stars?" Jun Fang was speechless.    

Superstition was indeed still very strong in this era, but Jun Fang didn't really like to think about this matter. It was mostly because he felt that relying on his fist to get what he wanted was much better.    

Rather than bothering to learn about the stars' movement and how it affected their fate, he would rather be pragmatic and just see things that existed in front of him.    

"Yes."    

Nan Hua listened from the side.    

For some reasons, she had the feeling that there was indeed something strange from their conversation, but she couldn't really pinpoint what it was. And hearing them talking about their ancestors, Nan Hua began to think about what kind of time it was.    

After all, civilization many centuries ago was definitely very different as compared to the current civilization.    

A thought crossed her mind.    

"I have a question."    

"Yes, Adjutant Nan?"    

"Is your family head a woman?" Nan Hua asked in a low voice.    

Jun Zhao was stunned and looked at Nan Hua incredulously. He wanted to refute, but looking at that black pupil staring in his direction, he could only sigh. In the end, Jun Zhao nodded quietly.    

"Yes. It's kept a secret but aside from the head, when there's a woman in the Jun Family who could count the stars, they'll be the hidden family head and their husband will be married into Jun Family instead of them being married away. My grandfather told me about this when I was young, but because Jun Family rarely have daughters, I don't think too much about it."    

Jun Family was also a family that was strong in Yang like Feng Family. They didn't have many females in their family and aside from Jun Fang's cousin sister, his father's family didn't even have any woman.    

No matter how many concubines taken, the child would be boys.    

It was to the point that even his ancestors were tired with that and finally gave up on the thought of making more children.
