Bai Shan stopped in his tracks, glanced at Manbao, and smiled, "Naturally."
He also lowered his voice, with a mysterious expression, "First, we need to have two children..."
Manbao held back her curiosity, stepped on his instep, and walked past. Bai Shan gasped and took two quick steps to catch up, holding her hand and laughing, "I'm serious, we need to think about the next steps once we have descendants."
He lowered his voice and said, "When our children grow up, we can split from the main family branch, or establish a single branch, or go to Mianzhou and form a branch with our cousin's family."
Manbao asked, "Will the people in Longzhou agree?"
Bai Shan laughed, "It's common for large trees to branch out, as long as I explain the reasoning, they'll naturally agree."
This matter is not easy. Generally, families don't branch out easily during peacetime.
