叔梁紇先娶施氏，連生九個女兒，再娶一妾，生兒子取名伯尼，又名為孟皮，但他是一個瘸子。當時的規例，瘸子不能擔起宗嗣的名位，尤其是在大夫望族。叔梁紇為了保持家聲，在六十多歲時，向颜氏求婚。颜氏是曲阜的大族，家有三女。大女二女都不願意嫁给這位雖然是英雄的老人家，而且是第三位的妾。但三女徵在却答應婚嫁，而很快便懷了孕。生下一個兒子，這個兒子便是孔子。

Suk Liang Nat married See si ( 施氏) at the beginning.  They had nine daughters.  He got a concubine and had a son named Baak Nei (伯尼), alias Meng Pi ( 孟皮) . Unfortunately Baak Nei was a limping person.  At that time the society would not allow a limping handicap to be named to the position as a family inheritor, particularly in a dignitary family.  In order to retain the dignity of the family, even at the age of sixty, Suk Liang Nat asked for the hand of the daughter of Yan si ( 颜氏).  Yan si was a member of an influential and wealthy family and had three daughters.  The eldest and the second daughter did not want to marry this aged hero, also as a concubine.  But the youngest daughter Jing Joi ( 徵在 ) agreed to this marriage.  She was pregnant very soon and gave birth to a son, later known as Confucius.
