Chapter 1573 Unpredictable Events

Zhou Shuren came home from the yamen, Zhulan said, "After you change your clothes, go to the fourth uncle's yard to persuade him, the child cannot be adopted by him."

When Zhou Shuren received the news from the household department, he thought up his words, "Don't worry, I will ask my fourth uncle to send the child back soon."

Zhulan sighed, "Yes."

After Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and drank a few cups of hot water, he walked slowly towards the fourth uncle's yard. When he arrived at the fourth uncle's yard, the gate of the yard was closed.

Zhou Shuren, "!!"

Should he be thankful that the old man didn't just move back to the Rong's house next door?

Jinyan wanted to knock on the door, Zhou Shuren raised his hand, and knocked on the door himself, "Fourth Uncle, you can't solve the problem by closing the door. What's the point of you hiding for a day? You can't hide from me. "

The courtyard was very quiet. Zhou Shuren stopped knocking on the door after finishing speaking. Footsteps were heard soon, and the closed door was opened. Two servants rushed to salute, "Master Hou."

Zhou Shuren nodded and walked in. When he entered the room, he saw his fourth uncle sitting on the rocking chair. He didn't see his grandson, and today's wife didn't see the child either. The old man became wayward and ignored him.

Rong Yuxuan spoke first, "I know your reason for coming, and I'll tell you what's on my mind. I'm worried about Liu Jia's upbringing. The Liu family came from a small family. It's good for Liu Jia to marry a well-matched family because of the environment in which he grew up. Mistress, this child has its own advantages, but marrying into the Rong family is not enough, not to mention me, but she is not confident in marrying in, so this child cannot be raised by her."

Zhou Shuren found a comfortable place to sit down, motioned for the girls who brought snacks and tea to go down, and waited until there were no more people in the room before saying, "I won't refute what fourth uncle said, you are always right."

At that time, the engaged Zhou family did not have the current power and status, but who could predict the future? The Zhou family adopted Ming Teng, and for the sake of the reputation of the Rong clan and the Zhou family, they were not allowed to withdraw their marriage, not to mention the harm to women in ancient times by withdrawing their marriage, even the reputation of the two families was not allowed to be flawed.

Rong Yuxuan was surprised. This nephew, he didn't say he knew it very well, but maybe 70% to 80%. This nephew is not the one who listens to the elders. What's more, Zhou Shuren is relying on himself today. He, an elder, lacks confidence in front of Zhou Shuren.

Rong Yuyan, "Do you agree to my adoption?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head slowly, "I disagree."

The old man stared angrily, and lay back on the rocking chair.

Zhou Shuren laughed, "First of all, your starting point is good. You raised Ming Teng back then.

When Ming Teng was not adopted, I didn't have too high requirements for Ming Teng, so Liu Jia was very suitable for Ming Teng at that time. Later, through adoption, Ming Teng's responsibility and ability today are all due to your careful teaching. I believe that the child who is entrusted to you to be raised must be an heir that can satisfy the souls of the Rong family. "

Rong Yuxuan turned his head and stared at Zhou Shuren, he wanted to hear what Zhou Shuren had to say.

Zhou Shuren said unhurriedly: "But you are getting old. Let me tell you honestly, don't be angry, how many years can you live? Can you guarantee that you will live until your child grows up and inherits the Rong family? No, you I don't know how long I can live!"

Rong Yuyan narrowed his eyes, "I will leave the person in my hand to the child."

Zhou Shuren smiled and shook his head, "It's not enough. A child's parents are the ones who teach by precepts and deeds. It's natural for children to yearn for their parents. You can't replace the child's parents. You will only create a gap between the child and his own parents. Liu Jia is the child's mother. Don't underestimate the barrier between a mother and her child, people's hearts are biased, and you can't control the future after you die."

Rong Yuxuan was silent, and after a while he said: "Isn't there still you?"

Zhou Shuren pointed at himself and shook his head, "I can't either, fourth uncle, I'm not too young anymore, human life is too fragile, I can't even guarantee that I can live long enough to take care of Zhou Shuren." Home."

Rong Yuyan's voice was a little hoarse, "You are still young."

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "I'm not young anymore. As I grow older year by year, I will worry about our Zhouhou Mansion, the Hou Mansion's roots are not deep enough. Although Changyi and Changlian are officials, they are not yet well-off. Well, the current power and prosperity of the Zhouhou Mansion depends on me, once I die, the emperor will take care of me because of my merits, but how long can he take care of me?"

Rong Yuxuan was discouraged, "You are right, hey, the Rong family was so prominent back then, your Zhou family is too far behind, and the background of the aristocratic family in the capital is also far behind, without your protection, the Zhou family Survival in the Hou Mansion will only be more difficult, and your sons, Changlian, are still growing up slowly."

Zhou Shuren, "Sometimes luck is very important. Changlian was supposed to be promoted, but successive disasters trapped him in Qizhou, so the world is unpredictable. Fourth Uncle, you must really think about your child. This child will be handed over to Ming Teng and his wife." Kouzi is raising the child, and the child is a little older, what is the difference between you personally enlightening and teaching it and adopting it?"

Zhou Shuren continued: "Fourth uncle, this is really for the benefit of the Rong clan. You don't want brothers to fight in the future, and the good Rong clan falls apart."

Rong Yuyan lowered his head and waved after a while, "It's getting late, you've been busy all day, go back and have dinner."

Zhou Shuren didn't stay any longer, and stood up quickly, "Then I'll go back to have dinner."

"Go back."

Zhou Shuren left without hesitation at all. It is useless to argue with the old man, as long as the analysis is clear, the old man has experienced too many storms, and the old man understands everything.

Rong Yuyan got up to look at the child, the child looked like Ming Teng, he was silent for a while before turning back with a sigh.

In the main courtyard, the food has been delivered, Zhulan sees Shuren's relaxed face, "It's done?"

"When he figured it out, the child will be sent back. It just so happens that Liu Jia needs to rest, and there is no rush."

Zhulan filled the soup and put it in front of Shuren, picked up the chopsticks by herself, and still couldn't help feeling, "It's not easy to marry a daughter from a high family."

Zhou Shuren said quietly: "Yulu is indeed a lucky one. She gave birth to two sons one after another, and the five-year agreement is no longer a sword in the head. This girl is very lucky."

Thinking of her granddaughter, Zhulan smiled more, "The Wang family almost offered Yulu as an ancestor, and good things were given to Yulu like water. Tao said that the old lady said that Yulu was a hero of the Wang family, and even Yulu's mother-in-law personally Write a letter to Yulu, and your granddaughter will just walk away in Wang's house."

Zhou Shuren laughed in a low voice, "Yulu has indeed changed the Wang family's lack of heirs. Wang Jue said that the other two families are envious. You didn't see Wang Juo's embarrassment."

Zhulan, "I can imagine, hey, this also shows that the family cares more about the inheritance of children."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

The next day, at the morning court, Zhou Shuren accepted the congratulations. Too many people envied Zhou Shuren, and it was a boy again.

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows when he saw Zhao Bo approaching. Zhao Bo never looked for him when he came to Beijing.
