Half a month later, Zhao Yuanming recognized Wang Wei as his adopted daughter in public.
On this day, all the prominent members of the Zhao family came. The Princess of Beihai also came to watch the ceremony in person. The scene was very grand.
Wang Wei knelt down upright, kowtowed three times to Zhao Yuanming, and then offered a bowl of tea: "Father, please have some tea."
Wang Wei was excited and her voice trembled slightly.
Zhao Yuanming took the tea, took a sip, and then helped Wang Wei up with his own hands: "Get up! From today on, you are my daughter, Zhao Yuanming."
A simple sentence, but it is more important than a thousand words.
Zhao Yuanming was the number one scholar in the sixth prize in a row, and he was a great scholar all over the world, with disciples all over Qingzhou. Zhao Yuanming recognized her as his daughter in public, and no one in Beihai County would bully or despise her again.
Wang Wei's eyes turned red and her voice trembled: "Please ask your adoptive father to give your daughter a name."
Zhao Yuanming thought for a moment and said with a smile: "From now on, you will be called Zhao Qingdai."
"General Li, please wait a moment." Changsui stopped Li Xiao politely and said, "The master is giving a lecture. No one is allowed to disturb him in the middle of the class."
Li Xiao was overjoyed and grinned. Then, he heard Zhao Yuanming continue speaking slowly: "Half a month ago, I recognized Wang Wei as my adopted daughter. Wang Wei changed her name and is now called Zhao Qingdai."
He was not annoyed at all, but instead grinned. He said through the door: "I'll go visit Master Zhao first, and I'll see you later."
It was none other than Zheng Xuanqing.
Li Xiao's nose was almost flattened. With his keen ears, he heard a familiar voice coming from the door: "Dingxiang, please be gentler."
After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.
Zheng Xuanqing smiled at Li Xiao and said in a very low voice: "Don't be too happy too early. Based on my understanding of Master, you will suffer a lot in the future."
"Learn the Zhao family's family rules well and don't embarrass the Zhao family outside."
Wang Wei sat among a group of girls from the Zhao family. She was a little unfamiliar at first and didn't know what to say. It wasn't until someone mentioned Zhao Xiyan that Wang Wei interrupted.
Li Xiao: "..."
After the marriage recognition ceremony, there is a marriage recognition banquet.
Not to mention Li Xiao, even if King Beihai comes, he has to wait until get out of class is over to see you again.
The door opened, and the pretty maid Ding Xiang poked her head out: "General Li, our master has said that men and women cannot be intimate. If General Li wants to see our girl, he must first go to the Zhao clan to learn it and obtain the master's permission."
Zhao Qingdai, this name is very beautiful.
Zhao Yuanming drank a lot of wine at noon and was quite drunk. He said with a smile: "I have a long-term follower by my side. You don't have to worry. Just go back to Tonghua Lane. Da Lang and Er Lang are still young. When they get older, they will be sent to
Studying in the Zhao Clan Academy."
Li Xiao tried his best to put on a humble and sincere smile: "Didn't Master just say that I could go to Tonghua Lane?"
Zheng Xuanqing rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Mrs. Zhang was repeatedly told by her two sons not to sneer at Wang Wei in front of everyone. However, she could not talk about how warm she was. She said with a calm expression: "You are now a girl from the Zhao family, and the past is the past."
Just forget about it!"
Li Xiao soon hit the iron plate.
Wang Wei's nose felt sour, she knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, foster father."
After the recognition banquet was over, everyone dispersed. Wang Wei hesitated a little, not knowing whether she should stay or return to Tonghua Lane.
Wang Wei suppressed the joy in her heart and agreed softly. Then, she met the Zhao elders one by one. Zhang is Zhao Yuanming's biological mother, Zhao Xiyan's grandmother, and now she is also Zhao Qingdai's grandmother.
Now that she has the support of her adopted father, she has straightened her back and behaved herself. Naturally, she can no longer meet Li Xiao casually.
"We, girls from the Zhao family, have not yet decided on a marriage, so we do not want to meet with our foreign husbands at will. Please also ask the general not to come to the house for no reason and disturb us."
Passed so easily?
After receiving the good news, Li Xiao took advantage of the break in the military camp and rode all the way to Beihai County. When he arrived at the familiar Tonghua Lane, the corners of his mouth were raised, he strode to the door and knocked hard.
Li Xiao smiled confidently and said: "I am handsome and handsome at a young age. It is difficult to find such a good son-in-law in the world. My master is only happy when he sees me. He wishes he could recruit me as his son-in-law as soon as possible. He is not willing to let me suffer."
Li Xiao smiled and stopped. After thinking for a while, he turned around and called the soldiers and gave a few instructions in a low voice. The soldiers followed the order and left. About half an hour later, a handsome young man with a bit of frivolity appeared.
Coming.
Wang Wei wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, bit her lip to hold back, and responded softly: "Daughters listen to their adoptive fathers."
…
Zhao Yuanming smiled and said: "Everyone can go to Tonghua Lane, General, just do whatever you want."
Logically speaking, she should stay in the Zhao family to take care of her filial father. However, Dalang Erlang is still young and cannot live without her as his biological aunt...
The bitterness in life has really gone away. What is left is sweet.
Girls of this generation of the Zhao family are mostly named after their colors. For example, Zhao Suxin and Zhao Queyu are all like this.
Li Xiao excitedly rode to the Zhao clan to learn.
This doesn’t make things difficult for him!
Li Xiao thought to himself, and the smile on his face became brighter: "I came here specifically to visit my uncle today, and I will go to Tonghua Lane later. I also ask my uncle for his approval."
Wang Wei respectfully agreed.
In fact, this is absolutely inappropriate nowadays. There are a lot of rumors in the streets, and most of them are caused by the close contact between her and Li Xiao.
Zhao Yuanming was very polite: "I have no official position now. I am just a master who teaches people how to read. How can I be worthy of General Li's gift? General Li, please call me soon."
"Also, if Li Xiao comes, don't see him in private anymore. It's not that easy for him to come to see me and marry a girl from my Zhao family."
After the family study was over, Master Zhao came out unhurriedly. Li Xiao stepped forward quickly and bowed his hands diligently: "Junior Li Xiao, I have met my uncle."
Zhao Yuanming glanced over: "There are more than a dozen households in Tonghua Lane. Although the street is not spacious, it is cleaned every day. The general wants to wander around the alley, so naturally I can't stop him."
Li Xiao frowned and thanked Zheng Xuanqing: "Thank you for your help."
Master Zhao is so principled in teaching.
Zhao Yuanming smiled and said: "You call me father, which is also the fate between us. From now on, you can speak more casually in front of me, don't be so reserved."
A girl who is waiting in the boudoir should be raised to be more delicate and reserved. In the past, she was implicated by Wang Tong and was despised by everyone. It was common for Li Xiao to go in and out of this small house.
Wang Wei at the door pursed her lips and smiled.
Li Xiao was at a loss for words for a moment, so he winked at Zheng Xuanqing repeatedly for help.
Zheng Xuanqing coughed and was about to open his mouth to plead for mercy. Zhao Yuanming looked over and said, "Qingdai is your junior sister. Do you want to watch her husband come in and out of her house at will? Will her reputation be damaged?"
Zheng Xuanqing was aroused by his wife's gaze and immediately responded loudly: "Of course not."
