Huaxi Chronicle

Yan family, North Garden.

"Are you serious about what Ah Weng said?" Yan Cong'an looked at Mrs. Yan in surprise.

Mrs. Yan was wearing a plain coat, picked up the teacup on the table, and said: "Now you are married, but the two of you will not be able to conceive a child in the future, and the child's parents are dead, so it is considered a delay to adopt her to the two of you." Saburo's incense, couldn't be better."

Yan Cong'an felt a little displeased, today she and Xun Feibai came to offer tea to Old Man Yan, but unexpectedly, Old Man Yan wanted to adopt Yan Hongbo's daughter to her two.

The heirs of the Second Household could not be regarded as extending Father's incense.

Yan Cong'an can probably guess a thing or two about what Old Master Yan is planning.

According to the law of this dynasty, the married person can take concubines, but only two concubines born to concubines can enjoy the right of inheritance if they have no sons.But under normal circumstances, when a man enters a woman's family, the two can conceive children, and they can naturally give birth to a legitimate son, so there is no such thing as a concubine with a foreign surname competing for family property.

However, when Liang Guo established a female household, a woman can marry into another woman’s family, and this happened. The main wife cannot bear a son. Condition.

Now that Yan Cong'an has found a son-in-law, he will definitely share a share of the Yan family's property in the future, but Xun Feibai is a woman, and the two of them cannot conceive any children, but Xun Feibai can take a male concubine. A son and a daughter, even though he is a concubine, he can inherit the family property, but the child's surname is Yan in name, but in fact he has nothing to do with the Yan family.

But if Yan Hongbo's daughter is adopted, the child will not only take the name of the first son, but also retain the blood of the Yan family. No matter how many parents and children Xun Feibai has in the future, he will not be able to inherit any property of the Yan family.Old Master Yan saved the family property from leaking out in the future, and beat Xun Feibai on the side.

Seeing that Yan Cong'an didn't answer, Mrs. Yan asked Xun Feibai directly, "Is Fei Bai willing?"

Xun Feibai had never thought about taking a concubine at first, so naturally he didn't have much objection to this matter, but the two of them discussed the issue of offspring a few days ago. She thought that there would be no more children in this life, but after the two got married the second One day, when she was told that she was going to adopt a daughter, she was a little dazed for a moment. She glanced at Yan Cong'an and saw that she was a little worried: "I will obey An's order. If she agrees, I have no objection."

Old Mrs. Yan was quite satisfied with what she said, took a sip of tea and said, "I know you two are newly married, but this child should be kept by your side before kissing. I'll ask someone to carry the child to your courtyard If you like it, you can stay, if you really don't like it, I won't force you two, I will think of another way."

Old Mrs. Yan said that she was not reluctant, but this way of letting people take the child away directly, there is no room for the two of them to refute.There is also the sentence that if you think of other ways, what else can you do, it is either this child or the child of Sifang. Compared with Sifang, this child is not as worry-free.

Now Yan Cong'an wants to find out the past, and he doesn't want to directly fall out with Mrs. Yan, even if he doesn't like it, he can only accept the child first, at worst, he will leave the Yan family later, and then return the child.

"Ah Weng is thoughtful, that's all he can do now. I'll take the child to have a look first, and if it's a cute one, I'll keep it by my side."

Seeing her answer, Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "I've seen that child a few times, he's a well-behaved child, and he can like it from An Ding."

After chatting with Mrs. Yan about some trivial matters, the two left the North Garden.

Along the way, Xun Feibai saw that Yan Cong'an was still looking unhappy, and asked with some concern, "Don't you like Cong'an?"

Seeing the worried look on her face, Yan Cong'an didn't hide it from her, and said directly: "Ah Weng's move is to prevent the Yan family's property from leaking out, and the second is to beat you, do you know?"

Xun Feibai naturally understood this truth, nodded and said: "I don't know how to take concubines, I don't care if Aunt wants to beat me. It's just that I am a little surprised and a little surprised to think that I will have a child on the second day of marriage. What to do."

Seeing that she didn't care about Ah Weng's intentions, Yan Cong'an frowned slightly, but she was also a little at a loss for suddenly having to raise a child.But she met that child once in the courtyard that day, he was smart, and both parents of this child had died, so it was considered simple and clean.

"I've seen that child once, and he's really smart. My second elder brother passed away last year. This child was born to a concubine, and his mother has also died of illness, so it's safe to say. But I don't like Ah Weng very much. Such a direct way of forcing the child over."

She thought for a while, and added: "If the child is well-behaved, she can be raised for a while, and if she is not likable, just send her back after a while."

Nuanxiang Pavilion.

The wedding last night was already a busy day, plus the wedding candles consumed a lot of energy, and then got up early to serve tea to Mrs. Yan, both of them were a little tired, so they went back to the house to rest after lunch.

time.

When Xun Feibai woke up and saw that Yan Cong'an was still sound asleep, he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and got off the bed softly.As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Yuzhu walking towards this direction in a hurry.

Seeing Xun Feibai, Yuzhu just wanted to speak when she stopped her.Xun Feibai lowered his voice and said, "Keep your voice down, Cong'an is still resting. Why are you so flustered?"

Yuzhu lowered her voice when she heard the words: "Little Xun, my lord, Manager Li is here, and brought a child over, saying that it will be the little lady from the South Courtyard. How could there be a little lady suddenly?"

When Xun Feibai saw her calling him uncle, he was a little uncomfortable for a while, but when he thought about it, she and Yan Cong'an were married, but they were also the uncle of the Yan family.The title matter is irrelevant, it was only in the morning that Mrs. Yan talked about the adoption with the two of them, and sent the child here in the afternoon.

Seeing her frowning, Yuzhu thought she was thinking of something else, and hastily explained: "My lord, don't get me wrong, that little lady was not born to the third lady. Before the third lady and you, she never... ..."

Seeing her incomprehensible appearance, Xun Feibai couldn't help but want to touch her forehead.Yan Cong'an had given birth to a child, even if Xun Feibai didn't know about it before yesterday, she still didn't know about it after last night, Yuzhu took away the Xipa this morning.

The same is Yan Cong'an's personal maid, how can the treasure box be so stable, and this jade bead is so confused.She hurriedly interrupted: "Yuzhu, what are you thinking about in your head every day? This child, A Weng, told me two people this morning. He was carried by the second room. Ann is still resting, don't bother her anymore, just take me to have a look."

Yuzhu also knew that she had just made a slip of the tongue, and was a little annoyed that she couldn't think of what she said, so she listened to Xun Feibai's instructions, and hurriedly led the people to the main room: "I'm waiting in the main room now, go this way, my lord."

When Xun Feibai entered the main room, he saw Guanshi Li, and behind him stood a maidservant holding a girl.Seeing Xun Feibai entering the main room, he hurried forward and saluted, "Third Young Master."

He raised his hand and said, "Guard Li doesn't need to be polite."

Seeing her sitting down, Guanshi Li glanced at the girl on the side, and said to Xun Feibai, "Third Uncle, this is the child A Lang mentioned, and I brought it here for you. Take a look, you still like it."

The girl was wearing a plain shirt, with a bun on her hair, and was holding a cloth ball in her arms.A small round face, big watery eyes, looks cute.

"Please trouble Steward Li to come here. This child looks very pleasant. Cong'an is resting now. When she wakes up later, I'll ask her how to arrange it."

Seeing her answer, Li Guanshi looked at the maidservant at the side, and said: "This maidservant is called Chunlai, she is the dowry maid of the little lady's biological mother, and now she has been taking the little lady with her. Seeing her take care of the little lady is considered as a slave." Take care and bring her along."

Xun Feibai heard the words and looked at Chunlai. Chunlai was hugging the girl at this moment, holding the girl's clothes tightly with both hands, looking at Xun Feibai with fear and nervousness in his eyes.

Xun Feibai saw her nervousness, smiled at her, and said to Guanshi Li: "I see, let's discuss it with Cong'an later."

"The old slave has to go back and return to Alang, so I won't stay any longer."

Xun Fei smiled and said, "I'm here to take care of you, Li."

After Li Guanshi left, Xun Fei got up and walked to Chunlai's side, and asked with a smile, "How old is this child? What's his name?"

Chunlai saw Xun Fei's immature face and easy-going smile, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still replied cautiously: "Little lady is only three years old this year, and she was born on September [-] the year before last. The master's family didn't give her a name. Call Xiao Er or Xiao Niangzi."

The three-year-old child has not even been given a proper name. It is likely that this child is not taken seriously in the second room of the Yan family.Xun Feibai nodded, and took a closer look at the child. The clothes on his body were made of the most common fabrics, and there were no gold, silver or jade objects on his body. This dress did not look like the child of the Yan family, but rather ordinary people. Children are like that.

"The two of you are in the second class for a while, I'll go and ask Cong An to get up and see how to arrange for the two of you." After she finished speaking, she wanted to turn around and leave, but she heard a clear and clear child's voice calling: "Mother."

Xun Feibai heard the words, turned around to look at the girl in surprise, the girl saw her looking over, held the cloth ball's hand, scratched it, and called out crisply: "Mother."

Chunlai was startled when he heard Xiao Er call Xun Fei "Bai Niang", seeing her surprised appearance, he quickly bowed his body and apologized: "Third Young Master, please don't be angry, it's all because I talked to the young lady before I came. I never thought she would remember it."

Xun Feibai waved his hands indifferently and said, "You don't need to do that, it's not wrong for her to shout like that." After finishing speaking, he turned to Yuzhu and said, "You take her two to the side room first, and make some children Love the pastries."

After Xun Feibai finished speaking and walked out of the main room, Yuzhu turned to Chunlai and said, "Come with me."

Chunlai nodded cautiously, and whispered, "Okay."

Seeing her being so careful, Yuzhu couldn't bear it, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, my uncle and the third lady are easy to get along with."

Chunlai turned to look at Yuzhu, and saw her affirmative expression, but she still didn't dare to relax. She didn't care whether the third lady and the young master got along well with her, but she was a little worried now, fearing that if the third lady and the young master didn't want to stay Without her, she will not be able to take care of the little lady, but what should I do?

When Xun Feibai returned to the main house, Yan Cong'an had also woken up and was about to get out of bed.Seeing this, Xun Feibai walked over with a smile, handed her the shoes next to the bed and said, "Just now, Guanshi Li has brought the child along with a maid. I asked Yuzhu to take it to the side room. Look at it." How to arrange the two of them?"

Although Yan Cong'an's face remained unchanged, he thought to himself that bringing the child here so soon was probably not a temporary idea. Yan Cong'an and Xun Feibai had already thought about it when they agreed to get married.

Really scheming.

Xun Feibai thought it was because she didn't like it, and said with a smile: "The child looks clever, and just now he called my mother, and I didn't know why, and I felt a little weird."

Yan Cong'an was a little surprised, thought for a while and said: "I think it was taught by the maid beside me." She glanced at Xun Feibai, and then joked: "It's true that Fei Bai is so immature and called mother. Some don't look like it."

Xun Feibai was a little dissatisfied and said: "I passed Ji last year, and some people became aunts at sixteen."

Yan Cong'an smiled lightly and said, "Since that's the case, let Fei Bai take care of that child from now on."

"If that child is really likable, will Cong'an keep her?"

Yan Cong'an frowned slightly and said, "I didn't want this child at first, but it's hard for Ah Weng to explain. If there is no such child, other children will be sent."

Xun Fei said plainly: "Even so, let's keep this child first, if we like it, let's keep it. I think the clothes on the child and the cloth ball in his arms are a bit worn out. I think it's because of your second uncle. The family is also not taken seriously. Anyway, you and I will not have children in the future, and it is not bad to have one for nothing now."

What Xun Feibai said was reasonable and well-founded, but Yan Cong'an knew in his heart that this person was not doing it for the sake of heirs, and he wanted to keep the child because of his kindness: "Let's get along for a while and see if you like it." , we'll leave her alone."
