Zhao Yuanming stuffed the letter into his sleeve and stood up to see his brother.
As the patriarch of the Zhao clan, Zhao Yuanxiu had a lot of daily chores. He had just sent away a pair of clan members who had almost turned against each other due to the uneven distribution of homesteads, when Zhao Yuanming turned around and entered the study.
"You came just in time," Zhao Yuanxiu cheered up and said with a smile, "I have something to discuss with you. There have been more and more students studying in the Zhao Clan Academy this year, and the school buildings are no longer enough. I plan to build another row of new ones.
's school building."
Zhao Yuanming said casually: "It's up to my eldest brother to make the decision on such matters."
After a pause, he whispered: "I also have an important matter to discuss with my eldest brother. I want to recognize Miss Wang as my adopted daughter."
Zhao Yuanxiu was caught off guard and was shocked. He blurted out: "Why do you suddenly have such ridiculous ideas? Our Zhao family has been a scholar for generations and has protected Miss Wang for a while. That's all. How could we let her into our Zhao family?"
Door."
How can a bandit's daughter be a girl of the Zhao family? Even if she is an adopted daughter, it will affect the Zhao family's reputation.
Zhao Yuanming whispered: "Brother, please don't be upset, just listen to me."
Then, he talked about Li Xiao and Wang Wei, and then took out the letters written by Xu Jing and Zhao Xiyan: "The prince wants to use this matter to win over Li Xiao and the Jiaodong Army. Yue Ya'er is kind-hearted and wants to make this couple come true."
There is a lover.”
Wang Wei: "..."
Wang Wei had tears in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth turned up: "He said he wanted to marry me openly. This must be his secret effort."
Mrs. Wu sat down in the main room, looked around, and finally landed on Wang Wei's face. Wang Wei's complexion was not very fair at first. In the past two years, she had hardly left the house. She had become whiter and became more beautiful and charming.
.A pair of watery eyes, filled with timidity and panic.
Good thing?
Wang Wei burst into tears and was out of breath from crying.
As worthy of being the head of the Zhao family for many years, Zhao Yuanxiu is flexible and changeable.
When Zhao Yuanxiu heard that it was Xu Jing, Zhao Xiyan and his wife's idea, he quickly changed his mind: "Accepting my adopted daughter is just to take on the title so that Wang Wei can smoothly marry Li Xiao as his wife. Our Zhao family has done so much
It doesn’t hurt to have one more good deed.”
It was like a pie falling from the sky. Wang Wei was almost knocked unconscious. She didn't know what she was saying: "Yes, of course I am willing. Wait, this happened so suddenly, I am not dreaming!"
"
Looking at Wang Wei again, she was so happy that she shed tears and choked with sobs: "Lilac, am I dreaming? How come such good things happen to me?"
After Wu left, Wang Wei suddenly pulled Ding Xiang beside her, lowered her head and bit Ding Xiang's arm. Ding Xiang exclaimed in pain and asked, "Why did you bite this slave?"
When Wang Wei opened the door and saw the Wu family, she was confused. She took refuge in the Zhao family, so she naturally knew the patriarch's wife.
King Beihai smiled and glanced at his old wife: "In a few days, it's time to change your words and call her Miss Zhao."
"As long as you are willing. I will arrange the next thing. Just wait in the yard. Don't make this matter public for the time being."
Ding Xiang rubbed her red eyes vigorously and said with a smile: "This is a big happy event. Miss should be happy, but don't cry."
Wu smiled and said, "I'm just sitting here, how can I be fake?"
"Now I know that God gave me Li Xiao, which is the greatest blessing in my life."
Princess Beihai was stunned: "If you recognize your adopted daughter, do you need to change your name?"
In the afternoon of that day, Mrs. Wu, the patriarch’s wife, went to Tonghua Lane in person.
Zhao Yuanming smiled: "Since eldest brother agrees, I will go to Tonghua Lane in the afternoon."
Princess Beihai was not happy at first, but after hearing that this matter was of great benefit to Xu Jing, she immediately changed her attitude: "I have a box of gems there, and I asked someone to make two sets of gem head jewelry and send them to Miss Wang."
Zhao Yuanming smiled again and nodded in agreement.
The next day, Zhao Yuanming made a special trip to the Beihai Prince's Mansion and talked with the Beihai Prince in the study for half an hour.
I heard Mrs. Wu say with a smile: "Yueya'er lives with the prince in the capital. The third brother has nothing at his knees, so he has the idea of adopting an adopted daughter. Are you willing to recognize him as an adopted father?"
Wang Wei nodded vigorously.
What does Wu want to do when she suddenly comes to visit? Could it be that she thinks her reputation has implicated the Zhao family and wants to drive her away?
Wang Wei felt uneasy and bowed respectfully to welcome Mrs. Wu into the small house.
Wang Wei looked at Wu blankly.
Wang Wei didn't say anything, she just nodded her head.
…
"Ding Xiang, I have always felt that my life was miserable. My own father became a bandit and killed my mother and brother. I have to live with the eldest son Erlang under the eyes of everyone. It is really difficult."
Zhao Yuanxiu said: "The recognition of the adopted daughter is of great benefit to Wang Wei. It was Li Xiao who asked the prince in private, who interceded for him, and Yue Ya'er also sent a letter, so our Zhao family was willing to nod. You should not take the initiative to come forward in this matter.
I'll make arrangements."
Then he lowered his voice and said: "This happy event is really sudden. From my perspective, there must be a reason for this."
"You know? I like the Zhao family, and I envy Zhao Xiyan for having such a good father who loves him. I never thought that one day, I could also be a girl from the Zhao family and the daughter of Master Zhao..."
After Zhao Yuanming left, King Beihai went to Princess Beihai's bedroom and asked Princess Beihai to prepare a decent gift.
"Don't panic, Miss Wang," Mrs. Wu said with a smile, "I came today because of a good thing."
The young lady has been worried a lot and has lost a lot of weight in the past few months. Now she can finally see the moonlight after the clouds have cleared.
By recognizing Zhao Yuanming as her adoptive father, she will become a girl of the Zhao family from now on. She will no longer be criticized and insulted at will, and she will not have to hide in the house all day long. She can stand upright and face everyone. More importantly, she
I can marry Li Xiao as the daughter of the Zhao family.
Ding Xiang wiped her eyes with her sleeve and smiled brightly: "I'm going to buy two kilograms of meat today and make a meal of dumplings."
The dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage were delicious and delicious. Wang Wei had a big appetite and ate a full plate.
Ding Xiang saw it, pursed her lips and smiled.
"That's the most important thing." The King of Beihai smiled and said, "Having a biological father who was a bandit, even if Wang Tong dies, Wang Wei's reputation will be ruined. Since she wants to recognize Master Zhao as her adoptive father, she will change her surname to Zhao.
After she married Li Xiao and went to live in Jiaodong, everyone knew that she was a girl from the Zhao family. This page about Wang Wei was completely turned away."
This is true.
The Princess of Beihai sighed: "This Wang Wei is very pitiful. She comes from a girl's family who has never done anything bad. She has been implicated by her own father, and it is very difficult for her to even get married."
"Fortunately, Li Xiao was kind and righteous, and he didn't let her down. He spent so much effort to get the matchmaker to marry her. She finally got through all the hardships."
