Lord Leng's marriage has been mentioned several times in the past few years, but in the end it was always turned down with weird excuses.
For the first time, I said that the wall at home collapsed for no reason, saying that this was an ominous sign, perhaps a warning from God, that I could not start a family before my great career was accomplished.
The second time, Mrs. Leng had just found a matchmaker, but before she had time to propose marriage, Mr. Leng developed a high fever, which lasted for three days. He said that the time had not come yet and he could not go against the will.
The third time, the old dog in the mansion died. Master Leng said that he would be mourned and not get married for three years. This made Mrs. Leng so angry that she chased him all over the garden with a stick, saying that she wanted to beat him to death.
The fourth time was even more outrageous. When I woke up in the morning, half of my eyebrows were shaved off for no reason. Eyebrows represent luck. Needless to say, it was naturally an excuse for him not to say kiss.
Mrs. Leng gave up and kicked him out to live in his chief minister's mansion. She said to him bitterly: "You will be a bachelor for the rest of your life!"
Master Leng sighed, "It seems that this is my son's fate."
After he moved to the chief minister's residence, Mrs. Leng no longer bothered with his marriage. Instead, she wanted to see which child in the family was smarter and could adopt him so that he would not be childless.
She went to ask Ling Yan in person, and Leng Yan wanted to say no, but Mrs. Leng just said, "If you don't want to, hang yourself when you go back for your mother!"
Jing Jingyan sighed again, "Then let mother arrange everything!"
Mrs. Leng chose a five-year-old boy for him from the clan. This boy also had a hard life. He had three older brothers. His father died when he was pregnant with him. His grandmother said that he had bad legs and brought bad luck.
Very bad for him.
His mother also fell ill last year, and his life was even more difficult. The five-year-old child was as thin as a three-year-old child, skinny and bones, and covered in dirt.
Mrs. Leng was not interested in him originally, but after hearing what the elders in the clan said about the child, she couldn't help but feel sympathy and wanted to go and donate some. After seeing the child, she couldn't take her eyes away.
My child, it’s so painful.
She then proposed to adopt the child into the hands of Jing Yan. Upon hearing this, the child's grandparents were so excited that they personally sent the child to the Prime Minister's Mansion that night and left.
Originally, the adoption required some formalities. Madam Leng wanted to complete the formalities before picking up the child. Little did she know that the child was simply thrown away at the Shouxing Mansion. Madam Leng was so angry that she even scolded her.
She went to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person, washed the child cleanly, and asked a tailor to make clothes for the child. However, it would take a day or two to wear the clothes if they were tailor-made. Calmly, she went to the palace and asked Yuan Qing if Ling wanted Qixi.
Coke their old clothes from the past.
Yuan Qingling learned that Master Leng had adopted a child, and heard that the child was very thin and pitiful, so she asked Ling Yanyan to take him into the palace the next day and check him, and make up for him when necessary, and raise him when necessary.
Jing Jingyan didn't have any feelings for the child yet, but the two big, frightened eyes embedded in the skinny cheeks still made him feel distressed, and he took him to the palace himself.
The five-year-old child has been kept in the inner courtyard. He does not know the people and things outside, nor does he know that the person in front of him is the noble queen. He only feels that Yuan Qing Ling's smile is friendly, so he subconsciously wants to hide in Yuan Qing.
Ling's side was actually a little afraid of Ling Yan.
The child was severely malnourished and had lice and abscesses on his head. If I touched him, he would feel pain. I hid and scolded him calmly, "Sit still and don't move!"
Jingjingyan's face was more indifferent and his words were more dignified. The child was afraid and did not dare to move, but there were tears in his eyes and his body was shaking violently.
Yuan Qingling raised her head and looked at Ling Yan, "Get out!"
Jing Jingyan had no choice but to go out.
Yuan Qingling coaxed him, then gave him Dim Sum's old doll, shaved his hair carefully, and cleaned the abscesses on his head. The child kept gritting his teeth and did not dare to cry out in pain.
After all, the debridement was excruciatingly painful. After the cleaning was finally completed, the child shed a tear and then stubbornly held it back. Especially when he saw Ling Yan coming in again, he was trembling and biting his lips with panic in his eyes.
