Chapter 243: A Good Boy

"Shao? My surname is Shao? Xia Zhengqian looked sluggish and muttered to himself.

The news was so abrupt and incredible that he couldn't accept it at once.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shao directly pulled the middle-aged man who looked exactly like Xia Zhengqian over, and said with tears in her eyes; "Look, this is what was born with you, and he looks exactly like you."

She wiped a handful of tears: "Our Qin family has always had the inheritance of twins. My sister and I are twins, and we look almost identical. My father and my aunt were also born to the same child, but because of the dragon and phoenix fetus, they only looked seven or eight points alike. ”

Hearing this, Shu's tears welled up. She quickly covered the sobs in her mouth with a handkerchief, turned her head, and looked at Xia Qi and Xia Jin with tears in her eyes.

Because twins often have genetic factors, Mrs. Xia, who is a medical family, also knows this. So after she gave birth to Xia Qi and Xia Jin, the dragon and phoenix fetus, Mrs. Xia used these words to provoke their husband and wife, and said that she did not abide by women's morals. Fortunately, Xia Zhengqian believes in her character and treats her as before. Old lady Xia also reprimanded her a few times, but the old lady didn't say this.

But she always had a thorn in her heart. Because Xia Qi and Xia Jin are not similar to Xia Zhengqian, but their noses and chin are more like her, and those big eyes that are as black as ink are not available to her and Xia Zhengqian. She was desperate, thinking that there would never be a day when she would be able to prove her innocence. But I don't want to, the truth turns out to be like this, Xia Qi and Xia Jin's eyes are not like Xia Zhengqian, but like grandmothers. Even though Mrs. Shao was sixty years old, her eyes were still as round and big as black grapes.

The woman's feelings are the same, and the middle-aged woman who was holding Mrs. Shao noticed Shu's excited emotions, and followed her gaze towards Xia Qi and Xia Jin. Then he shouted excitedly: "Mother, look, these two children's eyes are exactly the same as yours." ”

As soon as she shouted, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Qi and Xia Jin.

Old Mrs. Shao became excited again.

She walked over, put her wrinkled hands on Xia Jin's face, looked at it, and tears flowed down again: "Child." I'm your grandmother. Grandmother. ”

Xia Jin's body lives with a soul from another world, and he doesn't have much sense of identity with this world, family, or blood. The reason why she has feelings for Xia Zhengqian, Shu and Xia Qi is because she gets along. So in this confession occasion. She is as calm as those Shao family daughters-in-law. Whether the Shao family can get her approval or not depends not on blood relations, but on their attitude and way of doing things. And these have to be certified in the future.

But Rao is like that. She still had tears in her eyes. She was happy for Xia Zhengqian. Mrs. Xia's harm to Xia Zhengqian, Xia Zhengqian looked for his mother near the Qinglou. She saw it all. She felt sorry for her father. Now that she can find her ancestors and return to her ancestors, she is really happy for her father.

So when she heard Mrs. Shao's words, she shouted crisply with tears in her eyes; "Grandmother."

"Hey." Old Madam Shao answered loudly, and then her eyes looked at Xia Qi again.

"Grandmother." Xia Qi doesn't need to be reminded. shouted to Mrs. Shao very obediently, and then turned his head and called out to Mrs. Shao. "Grandfather."

Mrs. Shao, a big man, a man who died on the battlefield. was made to tears by Xia Qi's shout.

And over there, the daughter-in-law of the Shao family has reminded the Xia family; "Bring the futon."

At the beginning, Mrs. Xuanping Hou sent someone to Linjiang to report the news, in addition to taking back the letters from Xia Qi and Xia Jin, she also brought a message from Mrs. Xuanping Hou, and explained what happened in the capital to Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi clearly. The couple knew that their daughter could not leave Beijing, their son needed to go to school in Guozijian, and he would not be able to return to Linjiang for at least a few years, so they rented out the house in Linjiang very simply, and entrusted the two businesses of Xia Jin's restaurant and dim sum shop to Bai Cong, and then brought all the subordinates to Beijing.

So now the subordinates in the summer house, although they have just arrived in the capital and are tired from the journey, their positions are the same as when they were in Linjiang. In addition, I have moved twice, and I am familiar with the car, and when I arrive in the capital, I will be in place, and I will quickly enter the state and fulfill my duties.

Therefore, as soon as the Shao family called it so, the people of the Xia family quickly brought the futon, and there were several of them, and put them in front of Xia Zhengqian's family of four.

Old lady Shao pulled his wife to sit on the right seat, waiting for his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter to salute him.

Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi stepped forward first and kowtowed to the two old men; After they got up, Xia Qi and Xia Jin also stepped forward to salute.

After Xia Qi and Xia Jin got up, Mrs. Shao called the four of them to meet with the other Shao family members and introduced their identities one by one.

The son of the Shao family is called Shao Hengding, three years older than Xia Zhengqian, married his wife Guo, and has four sons and two daughters; The sons took wives in the north, and their daughters married in the north.

Born with Xia Zhengqian's compatriots, the one who looks exactly like him, is called Shao Hengguo, the second son of the Shao family, married to Yang, and has three sons and three daughters. Although he is the same age as Xia Zhengqian, Xia Zhengqian got married late, and Shu's was miscarried twice by Mrs. Xia, so Shao Guoding's sons and daughters are older than Xia Qi and Xia Jin. The sons have all taken wives; The youngest daughter is half a year older than Xia Jin, and although she is not married, she is engaged to a family in the north and will marry next year.

After Mrs. Shao just gave birth to Shao Hengguo and Xia Zhengqian, she was exiled during the big change, and she didn't sit down well in the confinement, and went to the extremely cold north, and then failed to have any more children, and the old couple only had these three sons.

Xia Jin listened and secretly wiped his sweat.

Rao is like this, she now has two uncles, two aunts, eight brothers (including Xia Qi), five sisters, twelve nephews and nieces, plus seven nephews and nieces. If it weren't for the fact that the three cousins were all married to the north and didn't come back with their husbands and children, this house probably wouldn't be able to stand.

This is still the result of the old lady having fewer children and the men of the Shao family not taking concubines because of their difficult situation. If the Shao family hadn't changed and had been going well, would this have happened?

People who can give birth to twins are too scary, there is wood? If you give birth three times, you can give birth to others six times. Several sons competed together to give birth to twins, and this data is terrible to think about.

After a room full of people saluting noisily, and finally stopped, Old Lady Shao looked at Xia Jin: "Are you Sister Jin?" ”

"Yes. Grandfather. Xia Jin stood out.

Old lady Shao stood up with the handrail, walked up to Xia Jin, and said to her: "Originally, the old man wanted to give you a big gift, but now that he has become your grandfather, this gift is not good, I am afraid that your life will be ruined." You didn't eat a meal from the Shao family, and you didn't use the Shao family's money. saved the entire Shao family. Even now she is the granddaughter of the Shao family. This kindness must be engraved in our hearts by our whole family. Now, let a few of your brothers salute you on behalf of your grandfather and uncles. ”

said. He raised his hand and gestured.

The seven elder brothers of the Shao family and Xia Jin's generation all stood up, lined up in two rows, and were about to kneel down to give Xia Jin a big salute.

Xia Jin was startled and hurriedly retreated. Hiding behind Shu's family, he said, "I can't do it." I didn't do anything, I just mentioned it to the Queen Mother and her old man. It's all the Queen Mother's kindness, the emperor's wisdom, and nothing to do with me. It doesn't have to be this way. ”

She didn't like kneeling at all. Just now, because there was the blood of the Shao family in this body, it was okay to kneel and bow to the two old men. Now let her sit and bow down to seven big men, is she too much to eat? Being bowed down and not having a penny good!

Thank you so much. In the future, she will be kind to her father and brother. As for herself, she can live well in any place. I don't need anyone else's job.

Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi also said: "She is young and blessed, but she can't stand this." Lian helped her excuse herself.

Old lady Shao couldn't help it, waved his hand to the seven grandchildren, asked them to retreat, and said: "That's it, just now when we entered the palace to face the saint, the emperor not only gave back the property of our Shao family that was copied, but also rewarded two hundred taels of gold and three hundred acres of land. He took half of all these possessions and rewards as a dowry for his sisters. The rest of these, after a hundred years of the old lady and I, will be divided equally between you and the three rooms, what do you think? ”

As soon as his words fell, Uncle Shao Heng said, "The child has no opinion. ”

Second Uncle Shao Hengguo also immediately followed: "I have no objection either." ”

The seven grandchildren thought that they were well-trained, and they arched their hands and said in unison: "The grandchildren have no objections." ”

These sounds were loud and full of energy, especially the one in the back, which almost lifted the roof.

Old Lady Shao was extremely satisfied with this loud response, and also shouted angrily: "Good! ”

Turning his head, he said to Xia Jin: "You don't want your brothers to kneel for you, if you refrain from these things around you, your grandfather will be unhappy!" ”

Old Mrs. Shao also said to Xia Jin kindly: "Sister Jin, you can accept it." Although your uncles and brothers are not talents in the world, they have no problem supporting their families with their own skills. Your grandfather's arrangement also means that they will not be too comfortable because they have no worries about food and clothing, so you should not refuse. ”

Xia Jin came to this world in his previous life, and he only used three points of his ability. Even so, she has been self-made in the past two or three years, earning a fortune that many people can't earn in a lifetime. And the career she created with these three points of ability has just begun. With her medical skills, as long as she treats a few more dignitaries, there will naturally be no shortage of money; And with the money she earned from renovating the stinky pond as capital, she can also open restaurants and dim sum shops all over the country and earn more money......

But she has never valued fame, fortune and money. As long as she can ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing, she will not bother with that thing anymore. And her current net worth is enough for her to spend a lifetime, how can she ask for the Shao family's property again and bring infamy to her parents?

"I don't want this money." She was very resolute, "If the money is not left to my grandfather, grandmother, parents, and brother, do I have to take it to another family to support outsiders?" Grandfather, you're not doing it for my good, you are hurting me, do you know? You have repaid the favor, and my heart is comfortable, and I will have to be criticized by the world for being unfilial. Even if I marry with more money, my husband's family will despise me and think that I am of inferior character. Grandfather, tell me, which is more valuable, character or wealth? ”

When the seven brothers and one sister saw her talking to Mrs. Shao like this, they all sweated for her in private. Although Mrs. Shao is old and has suffered a lot, she still retains the upright and irascible character of a soldier. What he decides, no one in the Shao family has always refutated, otherwise you will be so trained that you won't be able to get out of bed for a few days, even if it's a girl.

Several of them couldn't bear to look directly at each other, waiting for their grandfather to bark at his newly recognized sister.

But he didn't want to, when Mrs. Shao heard that, not only did she not have anger on her face, but she laughed out loud with "haha", and shouted in her mouth: "Okay." Good boy, you really deserve to be the seed of my Shao family! With such a large sum of money, anyone has to hesitate and think about it, this kid refuses directly without blinking his eyes, and he can also tell the stakes very clearly. Yes, yes! This nobility that treats money like dung. This sensible intelligence. No wonder the sister-in-law of the Cen family, whose eyes are above the top, is full of praise for you, she is really a good child! ”

Rao is Xia Jin is thick-skinned. was also praised by this remark, and his cheeks turned crimson.

"Alright." Old lady Shao waved his hand, "You are not married yet, and I will talk about the dowry later, and I will give as much as I say when the time comes." Now ......"

He turned his gaze to Xia Zhengqian. He asked, "Does your adoptive father have a son?" Good for you? ”

"Yes." Xia Zhengqian understood that this was to correct his name, and replied. "I have two brothers in the Xia family, the eldest brother Xia Zhengshen and the second brother Xia Zhenghao, and I am the third in that family. My adoptive father named me Xia Zhengqian. He never said I wasn't his own, and he treated me better than his two older brothers. ”

Old lady Shao sensitively caught the word "first", and hurriedly asked, "What?" Your adoptive father died? ”

"It's been six years since I died." Xia Zhengqian said.

"Then your adoptive mother ......"

"The adoptive mother also died."

Old Lady Shao nodded. Turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Shao, and then said to Xia Zhengqian: "You are the son of the Shao family." There is no doubt about that. If you are in love with the kindness of your adoptive father and adoptive mother and want to continue to be surnamed Xia, I have no problem with your mother; If you feel that the kindness of your adoptive parents can be repaid in other ways, then choose an auspicious day, recognize your ancestors, and change your name. At that time, my ambition was to establish a country and a safe country, and the son I gave birth to also planned to use these four words to name it. So your eldest brother is called Shao Hengding, your second brother is called Shao Hengguo, and you are called Shao Hengan. It's a pity that you don't have a brother, and that Bangzi doesn't have a chance to give it away. ”

When Xia Jin heard this, he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile. This old man Shao is quite interesting to talk about.

Old Lady Shao continued: "This matter is not urgent, you can think slowly. If you don't have a good idea, when things in Beijing settle down, I will go to Lin'an with your mother, and we can negotiate with your Xia family brother. ”

"Don't think about it." Xia Zhengqian, who has always been a little indecisive, was very decisive this time, "I recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors." ”

A person who can raise a child like Xia Jin will naturally not have a bad character, and will never be ungrateful and unfilial. Xia Zhengqian was so decisive, the Shao family's hearts suddenly burst into mind, and they thought of a possibility, that is: The old lady of the Xia family may be very bad to Xia Zhengqian. Looking at the eyes of the four members of the Xia family, there was pity.

"That's good." Old lady Shao naturally hoped that her son would recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and when he heard this, he was very happy, stretched out a generous slap, and patted Xia Zhengqian's shoulder vigorously, "Our ancestral house is still there, and the emperor has given it back to us again." When we have cleaned up, you will bring your wife and children over, kowtow to your ancestors, and change your name back. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Qi and Xia Jin again: "The children are also surnamed Shao." ”

"Yes." Thinking that he has parents and brothers to rely on, and his parents, brothers and nephews are so reasonable, Xia Zhengqian couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Father, mother, eldest brother, second brother." He called a few people again and said, "You have just returned to Beijing, and the house has not been cleaned up." Our house is quite spacious, why don't you stay here first? Saying that, he looked at the old lady Shao and the old lady earnestly, "The child can't be happy for so many years, why don't the two elders live here in the future, and the son will serve your two old people?" ”

"No, you don't." Old lady Shao said very simply, "The Cen family also has a great kindness to me, since the sister-in-law of the Cen family is sincere in keeping guests, we are good to stay in Cen Mansion for a few days." When the ancestral house is cleaned up, you will move over together. The family lives together to be close. ”

"Mother." Xia Jin saw a mother-in-law probing her brain at the door, and hurriedly pulled Shu's sleeve: "Mother, Sister-in-law Luo seems to have something to tell." ”

Shu Shi hurriedly walked out, and when he came back, he leaned into Xia Zhengqian's ear and said two words.

"What, something?" Old Lady Shao stopped talking and asked.

"It's Mrs. Luo, the prefect of Linjiang City, who came to visit." Xia Zhengqian said. (To be continued)
