"What? Yu'er, you want to be the father of this child? After listening to what Lin Yu said, Lin Mao was a little confused.

"Yes." Lin Yu solemnly placed the three gold bars on the table.

"Why?" Lin Mao was puzzled.

"Uncle, this baby girl came strangely, I thought about it again and again, watching the sky at night, looking at its body...... It seems to have evil intentions. Lin Yu squeezed his eyebrows and made a fool of himself.

"Evil ...... Meaning? Uh......" Lin Mao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked out of the house. "Besides, Yu'er, it's raining heavily tonight? Where did the celestial phenomena come from? ”

"Ahem...... The celestial phenomena are in the heart, as the so-called ...... Anyway, I have my own set of sky-watching techniques! Lin Yu pretended to nod solemnly, then raised his hand and pinched his fingers. Uncle, over the years, I have also learned some skills from the masters! This baby girl was brought to me by Lao Zhang, I can't let her bring disaster to your uncle's family, I am not afraid of life and death, even if this baby girl has evil intentions, she can't help me at all! ”

"This ......" Lin Mao looked at Lin Yu's extremely formal appearance, but he didn't know what to say.

"Uncle! I'm eighteen years old, and I have several children with many men my age, and I have no problem adopting her! No matter where this child comes from, even if she grows up in the future and becomes a bad fate, please let her be evil in me! If you don't agree, uncle, I will never put this baby girl in our Lin family. Lin Yu's gaze was full of determination.

"Alas!" Seeing Lin Yu's appearance, Lin Mao had to smile bitterly, sat on the chair, touched his beard, pondered for a moment, and nodded. "Okay, this baby girl is here because of you, of course you can call the shots! Yu'er, you are eighteen this year, not too young, adopted this child, I just hope you are more mature and stable. Speaking of which, Ning'er has always liked to do some man's things, since you recognize her as your adopted daughter, let Ning'er take advantage of the situation to be her adoptive mother, in this way, Ning'er can be more dignified and skillful, and she can also be closer to you, after all, you can't be brothers and sisters for a lifetime! ”

"This ...... It depends on whether Ning'er agrees with her own, let's not force it. Hearing this, he was overjoyed to be able to take advantage of this little girl's relationship with Lin Ning to go further, but he still arched his hand and smiled politely.

"How dare she disagree?" Lin Mao's eyes rolled upwards and flicked his sleeves.

Immediately, Lin Mao sent someone to call Lin Ning over, and when the baby girl ate something, he asked Lin Ning to adopt the adopted daughter.

Lin Ning looked confused at first, but this little girl was also quite likable, and after a little contact, Lin Ning fell in love with this little girl, although she didn't understand why she and her cousin became the adoptive father and adoptive mother of this little girl respectively, but since her father spoke, she didn't dare to disobey.

In the end, Lin Mao also asked Lin Yu and Lin Ming to discuss the name of a child.

The brother and sister ducked aside and muttered for a while.

"Cousin, why don't you just call this little girl Lin Yu? It's just the right weather! ”

"No."

"Why?"

"My name is Lin Yu, and she is also called Lin Yu, okay? However, the name is not in a hurry, let's give her a milk name first, whether this little girl can survive or not is another matter! ”

"Oh......" Lin Ning nodded. So, cousin, what are you going to call this little girl? ”

"Just call her...... Iron Egg Bar. ”

Lin Yu's eyes were indifferent, and he said lightly.

"What?" When Lin Ning heard these two words, he was almost dumbfounded, crying and laughing. "Cousin, don't tease me, Iron Egg? Ha ha! How can there be a little girl called Tiedan, this is spread out, so that this girl will not see anyone in the future. ”

Lin Yu glanced back at the little girl lying in his aunt's arms, and insisted: "It's called Tiedan!" It was not easy for her to be born, and if she survived, she had to look at the meaning of God, and she could live longer if she got her name cheaply, Iron Egg! It's called Iron Egg! ”

When the brother and sister said in front of their uncle and aunt that they called this little girl Tiedan, the old couple almost fell to the ground.

Lin Mao helped the chair handle and glared at Lin Yu: "You kid, don't be kidding!" ”

"Uncle, her name is really Tiedan, I'm not joking, my life is cheap, it's easy to feed."

"You!"

"Uncle, I'm the child's father, what is her name, I should be able to decide, right? It's a big deal, she's older in the future, so it's good to choose a nice name when you choose a name! Lin Yu spread his hands and said.

"You kid......" Aunt shook her head with a wry smile.

But as Lin Yu said, this child is Lin Yu's adopted daughter, what is her name, of course, it is up to her parents to decide, besides, even Lin Ning was persuaded by Lin Yu.

So, Lin Yu, the little girl who was picked up from the rainy night and was born not long ago, was named Iron Egg!

……

The next day.

The first break of the heavy rain!

Early in the morning, Lin Yu followed Lao Zhang to Jiangning.

Meanwhile.

Jiangning County.

It's not dawn yet.

The mourning music on the front lawn of Chen's mansion is singing in unison, and the two-month festival of the head of the family, Chen Million, is being held.

The two-month festival is a unique custom of Gyeongguk to pay tribute to deceased relatives!

At this time, the gate of Chen's mansion was closed, and the mansion was solemn.

Today is the two-month festival of Chen Mansion, the lord of Chen Mansion, and the whole house is wearing plain clothes to send the last ride to the lord.

Chen Million's mourning hall is also the main venue of today's two-month festival.

In the mourning hall, there is a tall mourning bed, covered with a white gauze tent, in the middle is a portrait of Chen Million and a set of clothes, next to which are his favorite items during his lifetime:

Swords, books, flasks, etc.

In front of the funeral bed, there is an offering table, on which are placed incense and candles, flowers and fruits, wine and meat and other offerings, as well as a merit book of Chen Million, recording his good deeds and blessings in the countryside and neighbors during his lifetime.

The mourning hall was quiet, only the smoke of cigarettes and the flickering of candlelight.

The maids and servants of the Chen Mansion were all dressed in plain clothes, bowed their heads, and wept silently.

They were all very grateful for the kindness of Master Chen to them during his lifetime, he was a kind and bold man, not only in the Chen Mansion, but also widely respected among the neighbors.

Zhu Zhu, the eldest lady of the Chen Mansion, and Chen Mengyao, the eldest lady, were the most sad, both of them were wearing white filial piety clothes, there was no trace of blood on their faces, and their eyes were red and swollen.

They came to the altar early, knelt under the spiritual seat, and burst into tears.

From time to time, they looked at the statue of the old man on the spiritual seat, as if they could still see his demeanor before his death, and the sad thoughts in their mouths were full of words, telling their thoughts and reluctance.

As the minutes ticked by, the sacrificial ritual was about to begin.

The servants of the Chen Mansion were busy making the final preparations, and they followed the instructions of the Taoist priest to arrange the sacrifices neatly on the altar and stand around the altar.

Everyone lowered their heads, did not dare to make a sound, and only waited for the ceremony to begin.

Finally, the Taoist priests came to the altar.

The Taoist priest saluted Zhu Zhu and Chen Mengyao, and then motioned for them to take a step back.

He picked up a blank piece of paper, wrote down the name, birthdate, place of origin and other information of the master, and then folded the paper in half and put it in a small box.

Then, the Taoist priest put the small box on his chest, raised his hands high, and began to recite:

"Lord of heaven and earth, hear me! Today, we set up a sacrifice for Master Chen Million, who is a loyal and benevolent gentleman, a wise and virtuous businessman, a loving and filial father, and a Confucian who respects the heavens and ancestors. During his lifetime, he made good connections, gave favors, and was widely respected. After his death, he left behind countless regrets and sorrows. We offer our sincere respect and deepest condolences today, may the Lord of heaven and earth bless his soul to rest in peace, may the Lord of heaven and earth grant peace to his family, and may the Lord of heaven and earth reward him with prosperity! ”

……

After the Taoist priest finished reading the eulogy, he placed the small box under the spiritual seat.

The other Taoist priests also chanted, their voices rising and falling, sometimes mournful, sometimes passionate.

The sound of the Taoist priests is accompanied by the sound of drums and gongs and bells, forming a wonderful music that feels both sacred and poignant.

Although Zhu Zhu, Chen Mengyao and others tried their best to restrain their sadness, even if Zhu Zhu and Chen Million had one or another contradiction before, at this time, Si Ren had passed away, and the crying of the mother and mother became more and more loud!

Not far away, the third lady kneeling on the futon also raised her head slightly, looked at the statue of Chen Million on the mourning hall, and met the eyes with each other, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

She hurriedly lowered her head, closed her eyes tightly, fell to the ground with her hands, and muttered silently in her heart: "Master, master, it's not that Bilian wants to betray you, but in fact, for self-preservation, she has to have such a friendship with Lin Yu!" Just wait for the child to be pregnant, as soon as I am born, I will immediately break off with Lin Yu, and I will have nothing to do with it! Please bless me with a baby as soon as possible......"

Syllable!

However!

Just when everyone in the Chen Mansion was kneeling on the ground, the gate of the Chen Mansion was suddenly knocked open!
