The Zhou family's adoption has been settled the day before.
Because of Wang's firm attitude, and because she did not give birth to a son for the eldest family in sixteen years, and the eldest family was about to die out, she should adopt an heir for her to inherit the incense of the eldest family.
General Zhou initially proposed to adopt the second son of the second family to the eldest family. After all, the blood is closer, but Wang immediately rejected it without hesitation. Kneeling in front of the old patriarch Zhou, Wang expressed her desire to adopt a child under the age of five whose parents had both died. She did not want the heir to suffer the pain of separation, but wanted to be able to bring up the child herself.
Of course, General Zhou and Lu strongly disagreed.
Wang Shi has never been favored since she entered the door, so naturally she doesn't care whether General Zhou will dislike her because of this matter.
She has been docile and tolerant all her life, but what she got in return was that she could hardly keep her daughter. In this case, she simply became a shrew. So, Wang quarreled without any scruples for several days. Finally, she took her daughter and knelt in front of the in-laws tablet in the ancestral hall for three whole days, crying and complaining that she was not filial and could not give birth to an heir for the long house, so that the long house lost all incense.
The city is full of wind and clouds.
In the end, General Zhou had no choice but to let go, and the old patriarch Zhou decided to find a child from the side house of the clan to adopt to the Wang family.
On the second day after the adoption, Mrs. Wang handed over a post asking her to be safe.
Nangong Yue was originally supporting Wang, so she naturally wanted to give her face.
But when I got busy, I almost forgot about it.
The night passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Wang brought a four or five-year-old boy to Bixiao Hall to meet Nangong Yue.
The servant girl welcomed him to the Xihong Hall.
Mrs. Wang was wearing a lake-green make-up beanie, with only a jasper hairpin inserted into her bun, her expression was much calmer and calmer than the last time she saw it.
In just a few days, a series of events had the effect of cutting hair and washing marrow on her body.
Mrs. Wang greeted Nangong Yue first, then bowed her head and said softly to the child: "Brother Zhi, please greet the princess."
The four or five-year-old boy is fat and white, wearing a sky blue robe with auspicious clouds embroidered on the corner of the robe, and a pair of black and white eyes, bright and pure.
"Greetings to the Crown Princess."
I saw him uttering a childlike voice, imitating an adult and saluting, which made people feel lighter and softer.
"Brother Zhi is free of courtesy." Nangong Yue saw that he behaved well, and his eyes did not wander just because he came to a strange place at a young age.
Nangong Yue looked at the boy without any trace, and asked kindly: "How old is Zhige this year?"
The boy replied solemnly: "Return to Shi Zifei, in two months, she will be five years old."
"Have you started studying with your husband?"
"The ethnology is reading "Qionglin Children's School" with my husband..."
Seeing that the boy answered decently, Mrs. Wang watched from the side, secretly relieved.
In just a few days, my life has undergone a series of earth-shaking changes. Thinking back now, she herself can hardly believe that she would have the guts to fight against the master and confront the second room head-on...
She wanted to back down countless times, but she persisted every time. For the sake of her daughter, she could only persevere, and she could only do her best to make a fuss. Adopted an heir for the eldest house, allowing her sister Jia to have a younger brother.
Even in the mansion, the position of the chief house has subtly changed unknowingly. In the past, those servants in the mansion who were high and low became obsequious and courteous. ; Now, those servants have already considered all aspects of things that she has not thought of...
Wang felt as if she had been in a dream for decades, and only now woke up.
Her humility and retreat are nothing but cowardice in front of some people. For the sake of her daughter, she must support the long house. Adoptive heirs are only the first step...
There was a hint of sharpness in Wang's once soft eyes, but his demeanor became more tranquil and steady, like a traveler who had lost his way for a long time and finally found his own way.
At this time, after Nangong Yue finished talking with Brother Zhi, she kindly gave him a gold collar and a set of the Four Treasures of the Study as a meeting gift.
Brother Zhi thanked Nangong Yue respectfully.
Mrs. Wang was not good at words, so she reluctantly talked to Nangong Yue politely for a while, and then offered to leave.
Looking at Wang's slender but straight back, Nangong Yue smiled slightly. Compared with many people, Zhou Roujia was still very happy. Her mother would give everything for her...
Nangong Yue couldn't help thinking of her mother Lin. Before she knew it, she had been in southern Xinjiang for more than half a year. She didn't know how her mother was. She really missed her... and her father, brother and Liu Niang...
On the other side, Wang took Zhi Geer back to Dingyuan General's Mansion, and it was almost noon at this time.
After having lunch with her daughter and heir, Mrs. Wang went to take a bath and changed clothes, and changed into a brand new sapphire blue Liufu welcoming door group flower dark pattern beanie, combed her hair carefully again, and put a The pearl hairpin with ruby and peony patterns on the gold backing is solemn and elegant.
Wang carefully adjusted the position of the pearl hairpin and stroked the dress, just like a soldier about to go to the battlefield, wearing layers of armor.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Mrs. Wang took Zhi Geer to the main hall accompanied by a group of maids.
At the end of the day, the main hall of Dingyuan General's Mansion was packed to the brim.
General Zhou, Mrs. Lu, and the two young masters of the second room were all present. Besides, the old patriarch Zhou also arrived accompanied by his son.
Elder Patriarch Zhou sat on the mahogany grand master chair at the top, cleared his throat and said, "Today, I will come to be a witness for my nephew and nephew's wife. The Wang family will take care of it until the heir becomes an adult, and then hand over the property to the heir. Do you have any opinions?"
Mrs. Wang stood up gracefully, blessed her body and said: "Patriarch, my niece and daughter-in-law will definitely act cautiously and protect this property for Brother Zhi."
Compared with Wang's radiant face, Lu's face sitting opposite Wang's was extremely haggard. The heavy shadows under his eyes seemed to have not slept well for several nights, and his whole body was even thinner. Lu's life has been smooth for half of his life, but he can't figure it out. In just a few days, Wang's turned upside down. The long house that he had been holding in his palm had completely lost control... and made himself a joke of the whole Luoyue city. !
Lu Shi gritted her teeth, and swallowed those sarcastic words in her heart. She didn't believe that Mrs. Wang would take good care of any property for an heir, and she was afraid that it would be emptied quietly, so let's make it a dowry for her daughter!
I will never let Mrs. Wang succeed!
"The patriarch," Lu said with a fake smile, "one yard is worth one yard. It is reasonable for the long house to take back its own property, and the nephew and daughter-in-law should cooperate. The account books of these years, the title deed of the field, the house deed of the shop, the bank Tickets and everything are here." Several women with big arms and round waists carried out boxes of camphorwood boxes, each box was heavy.
General Zhou looked at Lu Shi with satisfaction, and thought: Lu Shi is still sensible! Unlike this Wang family, his Zhou family has raised her for so many years, but he turned out to be an elbow, and wanted to give away the property of their Dingyuan General's Mansion to outsiders for nothing! … If he had known this earlier, he shouldn't have agreed to let his father do something to hold two houses together. Since the elder brother passed away, shouldn't the property of the Zhou Mansion be left to him as a matter of course
As Lu Shi spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Wang Shi, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth, which disappeared for a moment, but on the surface he continued righteously: "Patriarch, Sister Jia did such scandalous things in the palace. , ruined the reputation of our Zhou family, and ruined the family style so much, the niece and daughter-in-law thought that they could not be tolerated. I also asked the patriarch to make the decision and send Sister Jia to the temple, so as not to hurt the reputation of the sisters in the clan."
Lu Shi put on a worried look, as if she had no selfishness at all and was all thinking about the Zhou family.
Elder Patriarch Zhou showed a look of embarrassment, the matter of Zhou Roujia and Xiao Luan was witnessed by others, and now it has already spread to all the houses. Although it seems that Zhou Roujia is still very hopeful to marry into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion now that the concubine Shizi has expressed goodwill towards the Wang family, but if the matter is not settled, there may be changes. As the patriarch of the Zhou Clan, he needs to be more cautious when speaking, and it is not good to talk nonsense before the marriage is settled.
Regarding Zhou Roujia's matter, Lu Shi stood on the righteous side. Her proposal was reasonable and understandable. Even if it got out, it cannot be said that Lu Shi's aunt deliberately took revenge—although everyone present knew what Lu Shi's real intention was.
