Chapter 655 What a ridiculous thing this is... (Second update)
At this moment, countless idle people from Bianliang, Tokyo, had gathered outside the Kaifeng County Government Office, and they were all very curious as to whether Wu Shangshu could really adopt him successfully.
Until this time, bursts of noise came from outside the crowd. Soon, the crowd was pushed aside by a group of forbidden troops, revealing a passage.
Yang Jian arrived at the Kaifeng County Government Office with a very serious expression, surrounded by a group of imperial guards...
Although not many people knew that this fair-faced and beardless official was the first confidant, everyone became more and more excited as word of mouth spread.
Wu Shangshu took the monk Maode Diji to the Kaifeng County magistrate's office to go through the adoption procedures. The Kaifeng county magistrate did not dare to make up his mind and could only play like a dog.
But now, the eunuchs around the official family have arrived, so the scene will definitely be as lively as thunder from the sky stirring up fire on the earth.
Unfortunately, as soon as the imperial troops arrived, they immediately blocked the gate of Kaifeng County Government and did not allow anyone to approach.
Those countless gossip-loving busybodies could only sigh helplessly, and began to think and analyze the conflicts taking place in the government office at this moment.
And Yang Jian showed a smiley expression, and then saluted Wu Shangshu.
However, all this will not affect the beautiful girl who has been renamed Wu Fujin.
"From now on, this girl has nothing to do with the Tian family. She is my stepdaughter."
There are even unscrupulous tabloids that specialize in collecting sensational gossip from the streets to attract attention.
"Hey, hey, have you heard that the daughter of the official family was adopted by Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites?"
"Okay, okay, since Wu Shangshu insists on doing this, then let's do this..."
Yang Jian continued to remain aloof, not interacting with anyone, and waiting patiently.
"It's just that if the good Emperor Ji doesn't do it, she has to send it to that old man to pick up ashes and treat her as a child."
"Father, has your daughter done anything to displease her father?"
Wu Zhizhong became angry and his eyes widened.
Yang Jian gritted his teeth and looked extremely angry. He summoned the Kaifeng County magistrate who thought he had found a backer and whispered.
"...His aunt, your description is too much. Wu Shangshu is also a Shangshu after all. After all, it is better than a chicken coop, right?"
After saying that, Wu Zhizhong stood up and walked outside the house.
"Why, do you think that our family has come here under the official order just to make fun of you?"
"Madam, you are deaf. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. If word gets out, you might get sued."
#####
"Father, I never thought that I would have a sister in this life..."
"Oh, how can I do it? Your Highness, please put it down quickly..."
"Yes, yes, the official made a mistake. Well, in that case, the official will really go and do it..."
"What my father said makes no sense. Now my daughter has been adopted by her father.
After a long time, the Kaifeng County Magistrate, holding the adoption document, moved step by step into the hall.
"Of course, with so many people testifying here, how can it be true?"
The magistrate of Kaifeng County looked at Yang Jian, who came to deliver the emperor's oral instructions, with a confused look on his face.
He glanced left and right and handed it directly to Yang Jian. As soon as Yang Jian took it in his hand, Wu Shangshu strode over and extended a big slap.
Wu Yanfu couldn't help but subconsciously retorted.
Wu Zhizhong couldn't help but roll his eyes at the only son at these words, and snorted angrily.
"..."
With lightning speed, it spread throughout Bianliang, Tokyo. Almost every Bianliang citizen saw their neighbors, relatives and friends change the way they greeted each other.
"..."
All in all, whether it is in the marketplace or in the official circles, Emperor Maode's words have become the mainstream in Bianliang, Tokyo.
Until this moment, Wu Zhizhong felt as if he was in a dream.
The county magistrate had a face that was about to cry, and the sad expression and eyes that he turned around three times made Yang Zhongguan feel goosebumps all over his body.
Yang Jian's face darkened, and his voice suddenly rose an octave.
"This is the adoption procedure for my stepdaughter. Bring it here."
Looking at the Buddhist attire of the green lantern worshiping Buddha and the bright moonlight, Maode Diji, who returned to her normal daughter's attire, obediently greeted her brother Wu Yanfu.
"Father, where are you going?"
"Wu Shangshu, please think carefully. The officials have said that this matter has been done, and then Master Yuankong will be your daughter..."
"It's useless for you to express. Tell the people in the house not to disturb the palace. Ahem, don't disturb your sister. If anything happens, just try to meet her request."
"Zhongguan, I really don't joke with you. She is the official's beloved daughter..."
"Why are you talking about carrying someone on your back? I'm seventy-six and I've already lived enough. Why should I carry someone on my back if I tell the truth?"
"Oh, didn't this golden phoenix fall into the henhouse?"
Soon, the news spread that the official's beloved daughter, Princess Maode, who was a monk, had actually been adopted by the Minister of Rites, Wu Zhizhong.
"Father, I am your son. Can you not express your opinion on such a big matter?"
"Father, if you do this, won't you offend the official family to death? What should we do?"
"Yes, yes, it is much better than a chicken coop, but that Empress Maode is so unimaginable."
Wu Yanfu, who happened to be back in Beijing to report on his work, heard the news just after joining Bianliang in Tokyo. Looking at Wu Fujin who had resigned to rest, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth happily, and then dropped it again.
Naturally, we should do our best as a child, and I hope my father will not be too polite..."
The county magistrate has gone, and the abbot of Lingyin Temple and Chen Shilang are both witnesses. They are also standing here under great pressure at this moment.
"I have my own thoughts on this matter, so don't worry about it."
The police officers in Kaifeng County and even Kaifeng Prefecture were going crazy, suppressing rumors and collecting those messy tabloids.
#####
Outside the Kaifeng County Government Office, at least hundreds of people saw a white-faced and beardless eunuch, who sent the proud Wu Shangshu off.
"If the official wants to take back his life, please issue an edict immediately, otherwise, I will adopt him."
After a long while, he nervously stretched out his fingers to pick out his ears.
Wu Fujin came closer and offered tea to Wu Zhizhong. He didn't see any movement from the other party for a long time, so he couldn't help but speak softly.
"My father has something important to go out for. You just come back. Please stay at home and don't move around at will. There are a lot of people watching our Wu Mansion these days."
Wu Yanfu couldn't stop his biological father even after calling several times, so he could only helplessly shake his head.
Forget it, forget it, my biological father is a man of seventy or eighty years old, with a stubborn and violent temper, and he likes to do whatever he wants.
But having said that, Wu Yanfu always felt that something was wrong. After all, the beloved daughter of the official family had now become her father's stepdaughter.
This kind of thing has never happened in the previous dynasty, not to mention this dynasty, okay?
