The most difficult female boss in history

Chapter 429 Revisiting the matter of adoption
Mrs. Xu looked at Xiao Mingzhu's nonchalant expression, and her chest felt uncomfortable with anger, but in front of a bunch of "enemies" who were waiting to see her lively, she couldn't speak harsh words and reprimanded her, so she simply waved her hands to let Xiao Mingzhu take care of herself.

Zeng seized this opportunity immediately, and suggested with a smile: "Miss Ming, follow me to rest next to me."

Xiao Mingzhu agreed, turned her head and followed Mrs. Zeng to the side room.

Zeng led Xiao Mingzhu to a small wing room that she had prepared early on beside the side hall to rest.

After entering the door, Mrs. Zeng glanced at the big girl beside her, and said, "Go and make tea for Miss Ming, using the newly harvested lotus leaves."

Seeing that Zeng sent away the people around her, Xiao Mingzhu understood that she had something to say to herself.

Sure enough, as soon as the girls left, Zeng said in a low voice: "Ms. Ming, I'm afraid that my aunt will mention the issue of adoption today." Seeing Xiao Mingzhu's face was not surprised, she was even more glad that her decision was right. , and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, our second wife will never get involved." This sentence not only represents her meaning, but also the meaning of the whole second wife.

The sixth house is going to have a step-heir. According to blood, the Hou family is the closest, followed by their house.The eldest aunt has a hatred for seizing the title with the Marquis's house, and a hatred for seizing the patriarch with their house, so she will not choose the children of their two houses no matter what.

During those days in Falin Temple, she really saw how powerful Sister Ming was.Even the eldest aunt can't please her in her heart. The adopted child is not just dough in her hands. It can be round or flat if it wants to.She couldn't bear the child to be tortured by her hands.

After returning home, she reported all these to the old patriarch.

Later, because Sister Ming rescued the mother and daughter of the Zheng family, several of his nephews of the right age got the opportunity to enter the Chensi Academy, and the old patriarch felt that instead of thinking about adopting heirs, he should guard them It is more appropriate to be close to Xiao Mingzhu.

"Thank you, Second Aunt, for your reminder." Xiao Mingzhu accepted her overture.

Zeng patted the back of her hand lightly, left a sentence, take a good rest, and left.

I don't know if the Zeng family had made arrangements, or Zhichun was guarding by the door, and no one came to disturb the side hall until the ancestor worship began.

The ancestor worship was also very smooth.

Originally, as a girl, Xiao Mingzhu could only stand outside the ancestral hall with her wife, but because she was the second concubine of the emperor, the patriarch made an exception and asked her to enter the ancestral hall to offer incense and kowtow to the ancestors of the Xiao family. .

It was the first time for Xiao Mingzhu to enter the ancestral hall, but her eyes were full of interest. After she bowed and kowtowed, she left the ancestral hall and stood behind Mrs. Xu.

But just as the old patriarch finished offering sacrifices to the ancestors, when everyone was about to disperse, Mrs. Xu said, "Wait a minute, in front of the patriarch, all the elders are here, and I have something to say."

Of course the old patriarch knew what she was going to say, and said: "Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, let's talk about it when we go back."

Some clan elders who had been in contact with Mrs. Xu were displeased: "Patriarch, if sister-in-law has something to say, let sister-in-law say it in front of the ancestors, how can you stop it."

The old patriarch glanced at Xiao Mingzhu, and seeing that she didn't respond, he followed Mrs. Xu's wishes and sent away the juniors and women, leaving only those who were in charge of each house.

There are currently nine old houses inside and outside the Xiao family, not too many, not too many, the principals all sat in the hall outside the ancestral hall, Xiao Mingzhu stayed grandiosely, and no one dared to say anything about her.

The old patriarch said: "Sister-in-law, what request do you have, please tell me."

Mrs. Xu said: "Wynn's life and death are unknown at the moment. There is no male in our sixth house. I want to choose a child from the clan to raise under my knees."

The old patriarch said: "Sister-in-law, although Wynn's whereabouts are unknown, the emperor has not spoken. Who dares to mention this at this time." His words meant to beating.

Mrs. Xu froze for a moment. She didn't expect that the first person to object would be the patriarch. She thought that even if he couldn't help her, he would turn a blind eye and close his eyes to benefit from it.

Mrs. Laohou also said: "sister-in-law, you are too anxious. You are so afraid that Wynn will die, and you are in a hurry to raise his son who fell into the pot?" These words mean a curse.

Mrs. Xu became angry when she heard it, but Xiao Mingzhu stretched out her hand and grabbed Mrs. Xu, saying: "Grandmother's idea is not right, but now that I have been blessed, I have to start learning the rules of the palace, so I can't always I am engraved to serve beside my grandmother, and it is indeed quieter around my grandmother, if any family is willing to temporarily foster their children in the general's mansion, it would be a good thing for me to have fun at my grandmother's knees."

Xiao Mingzhu's words shocked a lot of people.

Wasn't she the one who yelled the most fiercely before, saying that she would not let her adopt him?
Now, what's her plan?
No, it should be said that Nanny Shang next to her gave her some advice.

Well, everyone didn't take Xiao Mingzhu's calculation seriously, but no one dared to ignore the people around her.

All of a sudden, there were nearly a dozen people in the hall, and no one made a sound.

Xiao Mingzhu smiled: "Grandmother, no one is willing, then I will ask my son to buy a few servants and maids to keep by your side, so I can have fun with you."

After hearing Xiao Mingzhu's words, a wise person would understand. She only said that she was raised in the mansion, and she didn't accept the matter of adoption.

It's okay to keep it, you can have feelings for a dog for a few years, let alone a child!

If the news of Xiao Huaien's death is confirmed, isn't the child raised in the general's mansion the natural choice for adoption?

Mrs. Xu sneered in her heart, she meant adoption, but sister Ming deliberately twisted it into raising a child, was she trying to delay?Hmph, the child was taken back to the mansion and raised by her side. When sister Ming gets married, it's not up to her to decide what to do, so it's up to sister Ming to be a married woman.

She glared fiercely at the clan elder who had been in frequent contact with her recently, and motioned him to speak.

After weighing it, someone still opened his mouth and said: "My third son, who is three years old this year, is also a tiger. If my sister-in-law doesn't mind, then I will send that little grandson over."

Some people are the first, and of course they follow closely. One says that their grandson is smart, and the other says that their grandson is filial at a young age, and they all want to praise their children like flowers.

Among them, there is a greedy old man from the Yifang clan, who said he would like to send his two grandchildren to the general's residence at the same time.

The old patriarch stared at one of the patriarchs, his face turned blue with anger.He had obviously beaten the concubine brother, saying that he should not send the child to the general's mansion just for the benefit in front of him.In the end, he deserved it well in front of him, but he changed his mind just by turning his back, wasn't this a trick for him.He couldn't help but keep glancing at Mrs. Zeng, asking Mrs. Zeng to explain to Xiao Mingzhu afterwards, saying that the room was definitely not ordered by him.

Mrs. Zeng received her husband's hint, nodded slightly, secretly worried for them, they were really not afraid of their delicate grandson being slapped into scum by Sister Ming's slap.
