Chapter 354: Ugly Zhulian
"No, how can such a lovely firewood be a disaster? From today on, I will be your mother. Rest assured, no one dares to bully you. After gently comforting the somewhat panicked child in his arms, Lin Hanyan looked at Huang Qiong with a begging look. This matter still needs the consent of the man in front of him.
If Huang Qiong disagrees, this child will not even have the qualifications to enter King Jing's Mansion. You must know that the Heavenly Family is the most interested in bloodline inheritance. If the clan has no children, it is allowed to inherit from the side branches, but it is absolutely not allowed to inherit people with foreign surnames. And in the end, from that side branch succession, you can only play the imperial court, and after the emperor's approval, it will be selected by Zongzheng Temple, this is not that you want to choose that one.
And if there is a knight, if the emperor does not approve, Zongzheng Temple does not agree. Even if the candidate is his own nephew, he can't do it. It's so difficult to even pass on a child from a side branch. Not to mention, what adopted sons and daughters. Especially the current predicament of King Jingfu, don't even think about it.
Lin Hanyan never thought about the matter of becoming a jade disc in the sect. The current situation, not to mention the children he adopted, is the children of King Jing, and it is already good to be able to keep the clan status. But adopting this child, she had already made up her mind when she saw this child for the first time.
This child, although his face is dirty. But those big eyes, which always contain humility but are flexible, directly triggered the latent maternal love in Lin Hanyan's heart. Lin Hanyan, who has never had sex with Jing Wangyuan, has never had any children of his own before. And now, although he and Huang Qiong are some husband and wife, at least it is impossible for the two of them to have children now.
And the man in front of him has been deliberately avoiding getting pregnant. When I was with her, I never stayed in my body. Lin Hanyan knew that he might never have any more children of his own in his life. And maybe he has complained about King Jing, who has always let himself have no biological children.
Either because the biological mother of the child is there, or there are other unclear reasons. Lin Hanyan and King Jing's other children have a not close relationship, and even some rejection. But there is that woman who doesn't want to be a mother? But Lin Hanyan knew that he could only think about this wish now.
Seeing Lin Hanyan looking over, with begging eyes, Huang Qiong hesitated slightly, and finally nodded: "You go to Sister Yao, clean this child well, and find clothes and shoes for her." I have everything else, you don't have to worry, I'll take care of it. ”
Although Huang Qiong also knew that at this point, she was finding a ** trouble for herself. You know, the threshold of the heavenly family is so easy to enter? What's more, Lin Hanyan is still the princess of Jing. Although it shows that everyone knows that the title of King Jing is abolished, it is only a matter of day. But after all, Lin Hanyan's location is still there.
I agreed with Lin Hanyan to adopt this child, not to mention how many waves will be set off among my brothers, even the palace and the court will not know how many things will happen. Fortunately, this child is a girl, and the turmoil caused will not be as big as that of a boy. Besides, what can I do if I don't agree, can I just watch this child freeze to death and starve to death?
The old woman had made it very clear that the child was now very unpopular because of her mother. If she hadn't asked for it in advance, I'm afraid that the people in the village wouldn't have let her come to eat this flowing water mat. Although I don't know how she survived in the past two years, Huang Qiong knows that this child has not come forward to help, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive this winter.
Your own conscience will not allow such a thing to really arise. really rejected Lin Hanyan today, if something really happened to this child, I am afraid that he will not forgive himself for the rest of his life. What's more, he really couldn't refuse, Lin Hanyan looked at the begging in his eyes.
Huang Qiong knows that with Lin Hanyan's person, this child will receive the best care and education in her place. Never go hungry or cold again, never be bitten by a dog again. As for what will happen to this child in the future, Huang Qiong believes that Lin Hanyan will not teach that kind of gentleman, let alone the kind of person who does not recognize family affection.
Seeing Huang Qiong nodding and knowing how much trouble this matter would cause, Lin Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After smiling at Huang Qiong, he hugged the child in. And the old woman, when she saw that this child was adopted by Huang Qiong, the eldest man, was also sincerely happy in her heart, rolled up her sleeves and wiped her tears: "Master, there will be blessings in the future to have such kindness." ”
"This child has a hard life, and it turns out that the old woman wants to take her in, but the family is too poor to support the extra mouth. The son and daughter-in-law also didn't agree to let her stay because of the things her mother did, so they could only take care of them secretly. Now that Master Meng has taken him in, this child has finally come to an end. ”
Looking at the back of this old woman who was covered in patches, patches on top of her body, and her waist was already bent, and she turned around and left after saying this, Huang Qiong's heart showed a trace of bitterness slightly. This child has suffered these sins in the past few years, and it seems a bit too much to blame these villagers. It has nothing to do with these villagers, and I'm afraid it doesn't make sense at all.
What did the mother do and what did it have to do with the child? I was angry and didn't dare to resist, and I was angry with an abandoned child, which was obviously an act of anger. The person who wanted to drive this child out of the village in the first place, did he ever think about what would happen to such a big child after being kicked out?
It's just these people, are they really that bad? As the old woman said, if the people here hadn't taken the risk to cover up, this child would have ended up like his family. This child can grow to seven years old, and without the people in the village secretly taking care of him, I am afraid it would have been gone a long time ago. In the final analysis, the reason for this is the mother of this child.
She was snatched away by the big steward, and she should have been pitiful for her fate. Later, she completely sold herself to the enemy who killed her husband, and others couldn't say that she was too much, she was a weak woman who asked her to take revenge, which was indeed difficult for some strong people. Her pursuit of wealth is her own choice, and it can't be completely said that she is wrong. But relying on power and bullying the villagers is too much.
When she did something, I don't know if she ever thought that her young ** was still begging for food here for a living? She honored the power of the big housekeeper, and the people in the village naturally had nothing to do with her. In the past few years, it is estimated that all the anger he will receive has been sprinkled on this poor child. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong remembered two ugly words: "Zhulian." ”
Now that something like this has happened, Huang Qiong is completely in no mood, and continues to face the villagers who are drinking wine and eating meat in large bowls at this time. After confessing that Liu Hu took good care of him, he turned around and returned to Liu's house. And the squire's table in the living room was also dispersed at this time. These people are not bad in their stomachs, and they hold their own identity and status, so they naturally will not be like those ordinary villagers outside.
At the banquet before, Huang Qiong had already said everything he should say, and what should he do with the natural way of these people's vision. As for wanting to have a relationship with this British king, it's not bad for a while. So as soon as Huang Qiong left, the squires at this table also left very interestingly. Anyway, there are a lot of people today, and some things are not easy to say, so I will visit alone in the future.
And the whole banquet ended, and it was already dusk. Huang Qiong ordered people to distribute the useless meat and leftovers to the villagers in the village. Of course, for those villagers who ate meat last time, not necessarily a few years ago, there will definitely be no leftovers on the table. On the surface of the flowing water mat outside, there is basically no soup left, which can be described as a clean bowl and a dry bowl.
The so-called leftovers are just those that have been prepared and have not yet had time to be served. This time, Huang Qiong was very well prepared, and he ordered him to go down early, and the wine could be prepared slightly. But meat and vegetables must be prepared well. Even when the villagers were eating, the stewed meat in a few cauldrons at the entrance of the village had not been broken.
After all, the number of villagers is limited, and the pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks that Huang Qiong bought have not been completely eaten. In the cauldron at the entrance of the village, there were at least two sheep, a pig, and dozens of chickens and ducks that did not have time to serve. Even if it's cold now, it's unlikely that the meat will last long. So simply, Huang Qiong let everyone share it.
The old woman, Huang Qiong arranged for someone else to send half a mouthful of sheep that had been packed up but had not yet been put into the pot, 50 catties of pork, 100 catties of white noodles, and gave an additional reward of 50 yuan. When the guards were ordered to deliver things, Huang Qiong hesitated, but still ordered that it was rewarded by the eldest grandmother, thanking her for taking care of Chai Tou in the past few years.
After doing all this, he turned around and returned to Huang Qiong in the inner house. After hesitating for a moment, he went to Lin Hanyan's house first. It was only after arriving at Lin Hanyan's house that Huang Qiong found that not only Lin Hanyan and firewood were there, but even Duan Jin, He Yao, and Li Xiu's three daughters were actually in this room. Duan Jin looked at Chai Tou, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
He Yao held one of the child's hands and sighed there with a distressed expression. And Li Xiu was busy with needlework in his hands and was making shoes for the child. The shoes that have been formed in his hands are still constantly comparing the size of the feet of the firewood. At this time, the firewood that had been washed was snuggled in Lin Hanyan's arms, with a pair of good-looking big eyes, and was looking at himself quietly.
At this time, Huang Qiong realized that no wonder when the child was holding himself, it was as light as holding a feather. Up and down, it is said that it is skinny, but it is a bit light. That little washed face doesn't even have two taels of meat. In addition to a pair of big eyes and some looks, the whole body is like a skeleton that can walk.
Because there are no shoes for her in the house. For the time being, I can only be bare on a pair of small feet, and there are chilblains everywhere. On the calves, there are also several scars that are obviously from dog bites. Looking at this child, Huang Qiong shook her head and sighed and said to Lin Hanyan: "Today, let her take care of it first." Tomorrow, I will ask Dr. Li to come over and take a closer look at this child. ”
After that, he walked up to this hard-working child and gently stroked her little face: "Don't worry, it's really home here." There are mothers who like you, aunts who like you, and my father, no one will bully you anymore, and you will no longer have to beg on the streets. ”
"When you return to the capital, Daddy is taking you to meet your grandmother, and she will like Chai Tou too. There is also a little aunt in the capital, who is about the same age as you. When you recover a little, you will follow your mother to read and write. Our little firewood, although he doesn't expect to take the top prize, but when he grows up in the future, he will have to read and write. ”
Although Huang Qiong didn't say it explicitly, the actual meaning was already very clear. The firewood is only hung in Lin Hanyan's name, not in the name of King Jing's mansion. This child is equivalent to Huang Qiong, who was adopted by Lin Hanyan and has nothing to do with King Jingfu. Huang Qiong's attitude made Lin Hanyan, who was still a little worried, breathe a sigh of relief.
