Chapter 1573： Unpredictable

Zhou Shuren went home from the yamen, Zhu Lan said, "After you change your clothes, go to the fourth uncle's yard to persuade him, the child cannot be adopted by him."

When Zhou Shuren received the news at the Ministry of Household, he thought about his words, "Don't worry, I will let the fourth uncle send the child back soon."

Zhulan sighed, "Yeah."

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and drank a few cups of hot water before walking slowly to the fourth uncle's yard. When he arrived at the fourth uncle's yard, the gate of the yard was closed.

Zhou Shuren, "!!"

Should he be thankful that the old man didn't move directly back to the Rong's house next door?

He said that he was going to knock on the door, Zhou Shuren raised his hand and knocked on the door himself, "Fourth Uncle, you can't solve the problem by closing the door, what's the point of you saying you've been hiding for a day? You can't avoid me. "

The yard was very quiet. Zhou Shuren stopped knocking on the door after he finished speaking. Footsteps were heard soon, the closed door was opened, and the two servants hurriedly greeted him, "Master Hou."

Zhou Shuren nodded and walked in, walked into the house, and saw his fourth uncle sitting in the rocking chair. He didn't see his grandson, and his wife didn't see the child today. The old man was willful and ignored it.

Rong Yuyu spoke first, "I know your intentions, I'll tell you what I'm saying, I don't trust Liu Jia to raise her children, Liu's family was born in a small family, and the growing environment made it good for Liu Jia to marry the right family. Mistress, this child has her own advantages, but it is not enough to marry into the Rong family, not to mention me, just say that she is not confident in marrying herself, and this child cannot be raised by her."

Zhou Shuren found a comfortable place to sit down, motioned for all the girls who brought snacks and tea to go down, and when there was no one in the room, he said, "I won't refute Fourth Uncle's words, you're always right."

At that time, the Zhou family did not have the current power and status, but who can predict the future? The Zhou family adopted Ming Teng, and for the sake of the reputation of the Rong family and the Zhou family, they could not withdraw from their relatives. Not to mention the harm of ancient women's withdrawal to women, even the reputations of the two families were not allowed to be flawed.

Rong Yuyu was surprised, this nephew, he didn't say that he knew it very well, but also 70% to 80%. This is not the master who listened to the elders, not to mention that Zhou Shuren is relying on himself today, and his elders are not confident in front of Zhou Shuren.

Rong Yuyu, "Do you agree to my adoption?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head slowly, "I disagree."

The old man stared angrily and lay back in the rocking chair.

Zhou Shuren laughed, "First of all, your old starting point is good. Ming Teng was brought up by you at the beginning. When Ming Teng was not adopted, I did not have too high requirements for Ming Teng, so Liu Jia was very suitable for Ming Teng at that time. , Ming Teng has today's responsibility and ability, thanks to your careful teaching, I believe that the child will be the heir to the satisfaction of the undead of the Rong family."

Rong Yuyu turned his head sideways and stared straight at Zhou Shuren. He wanted to hear what Zhou Shuren had to say.

Zhou Shuren said unhurriedly: "But you are getting old, I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry, how many years can you live? Can you guarantee that you will live until your child grows up and inherits the Rong family? No, you I don't know how long I can live!"

Rong Yuyu narrowed his eyes, "I will leave the person in my hand to the child."

Zhou Shuren smiled and shook his head, "Not enough, a child's growing parents are the ones who teach by example and deeds. It is natural for a child to long for his parents. You can't replace your child's parents, you will only create a gap between your child and your own biological parents. Liu Jia is the child's mother. Don't underestimate the estrangement between a mother and her child, people's hearts are biased, and you can't control the future after you die."

Rong Yuyu was silent for a while before he said, "Isn't there still you?"

Zhou Shuren pointed to himself and shook his head, "I can't either, Fourth Uncle, I'm not too young, human life is too fragile, I can't guarantee myself whether I can live until Chang Lian and a few take care of Zhou. Family."

Rong Yuyu's voice was hoarse, "You are still young."

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "I'm not young anymore, as I get older every year, I will worry that our Zhou Houfu, the Houfu's roots are not deep enough, although Chang Yi and Chang Lian are officials, but they are not good enough. "The Zhouhou Mansion has the current power and prosperity, and it depends on me. Once I die, the emperor will take care of me for my credit, but how long can I take care of me?"

Rong Yuyu was discouraged, "You are right, hey, the Rong family was so prominent back then, your Zhou family is too far away, and it is also far from the aristocratic family background in the capital, without your protection, Zhou The survival of the Hou Mansion will only be more difficult, and your sons, Chang Lian, are still growing slowly."

Zhou Shuren, "Sometimes luck is very important, Chang Lian should have been promoted, but successive disasters have trapped him in Qizhou, so things are unpredictable, Fourth Uncle, you have to really think about the child, this child will be handed over to Ming Teng Liang. The child is older, what is the difference between your personal enlightenment and adoption?"

Zhou Shuren continued: "Fourth uncle, this is really good for the Rong family. You don't want brothers to fight in the future, and the good Rong family will fall apart."

Rong Yuyu lowered his head and waved after a while, "It's getting late, you've been busy all day and go back to dinner."

Zhou Shuren didn't stay much, and stood up neatly, "Then I'll go back to dinner."

"Go back."

Zhou Shuren left without hesitation at all. It was useless to argue with the old man. Just analyze it clearly. The old man has experienced too many winds and waves, and the old man understands everything.

Rong Yuyu got up to look at the child. The child looked like Ming Teng. After being silent for a while, he turned back with a sigh.

In the main courtyard, the food has been delivered, Zhulan saw Shuren's face relaxed, "It's done?"

"When he wants to understand that the child will be sent back, it happens that Liu Jia needs to rest and is not in a hurry."

Zhu Lan filled the soup and put it in front of Shuren picked up the chopsticks herself, but couldn't help but sigh, "It's not easy to marry a girl from a high school."

Zhou Shuren said quietly: "Yu Lu is indeed a lucky one. She gave birth to two sons in succession, and the five-year appointment is no longer a sword on the head. This girl is very lucky."

Thinking of her granddaughter, Zhu Lan smiled more on her face, "The Wang family almost made Yulu an offering to their ancestors, and good things are given to Yulu like water. Tao said that the old lady said Yulu was the hero of the Wang family, and even Yulu's mother-in-law did it herself. Write to Yulu, and your granddaughter is about to leave the Wang family sideways."

Zhou Shuren laughed in a low voice, "Yu Lu has indeed changed the Wang family's success. Wang Chi said that the other two families are envious. You didn't see Wang Chi's shy look."

Zhulan, "I can imagine, hey, this also shows that the family cares more about the inheritance of children."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

The next day, in the early morning, Zhou Shuren accepted the congratulations. Too many people envied Zhou Shuren, and he was a boy. What the family lacked was the sons and grandsons.

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows when he saw Zhao Bo approaching, but Zhao Bo never looked for him when he entered Beijing.
