People...are still affectionate after all

The day before Mei Changsu’s departure, except Liyang and Concubine Jing, everyone who knew Lin Shu’s identity gathered in the Lin’s ancestral hall to witness Lin Shu’s recognition of his son. Lin Chen, who originally claimed that he didn’t know Lin Shu, didn’t want to go, but Mei Changsu said that he would let the children call "Uncle Lin", so he went.

Ting Sheng, who followed the crown prince to the gate of the ancestral hall, was a little curious. Isn't Mr. Mei the surname?How did you arrive at Lin's Ancestral Hall?He has also heard about the Lin family. Does Mr. Lin have any relationship with the Lin family?But before he could ask any questions, he saw Mei Changsu walking over in plain clothes, with a seriousness on his face that he had never seen before. Mei Changsu walked up to Tingsheng, took his hand, and spoke softly to him. He said, "It's good to be my father." After hearing this, Ting Sheng, who was very nervous at first, suddenly calmed down. He raised his head and smiled at Mei Changsu, "Yes, father."The father and son entered the ancestral hall and came to the ancestral tablet. Under the watchful eyes of all relatives and friends, Mei Changsu led Nihuang and Tingsheng to perform the sacrificial ceremony. Above, the unworthy descendant Shu brought his wife to see him. Although Shu is married, he has passed the age of standing, and his knees are still empty. Now he sees a son, who is intelligent and loyal, and he loves him very much. If you are born yourself, you will cultivate them to become talents, I hereby offer a sacrifice, and I hope you will be allowed." Then the three of them worshiped again, and the ceremony was completed.

Afterwards, Mei Changsu and Nihuang sat down on the stools that had been prepared, and Tingsheng went up to meet his parents, "My child has met father and mother." Mei Changsu did not call out, but said seriously, "For father My real name is Lin Shu, and Mei Changsu is just a pseudonym. You don’t need to ask me about the reason, and I will tell you in the future. Now that you have paid homage to my Lin ancestors, you will take Lin as your surname and call you Lin Ting.” “Yes.” , Lin Ting respectfully obeys his father's order!" For Ting Sheng at this time, it doesn't matter who Lin Shu is, nor does the story behind Lin Shu matter, all he knows is that he finally has a surname and ancestors, and he is no longer a rootless person. , the bitterness and suffering of the past flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern, and Ting Sheng's eyes were already red.

Mei Changsu helped the restrained child up, and stroked his forehead, "Tomorrow we are leaving here to go to the rivers and lakes. The identity of our father, Lin Shu, cannot be revealed, so I will give you an alias, Mei Jiangning. May you be at peace in the rivers and lakes from now on." Although Lin Ting didn't know what his father's last words meant, he still nodded obediently, and then followed his parents to greet his relatives and friends.

Lin Ting greeted the two grandparents first, "Grandpa Yan" didn't say anything except being a little excited, but that Prince Ji insisted on calling himself "Grandpa Uncle". Seeing that his father had no objection, Lin Ting complied with him, and then Seeing that he almost shed tears, Lin Ting was a little flattered by the precious gifts given by the two "grandfathers", but he couldn't understand it. He could only think that they really loved his father and were happy that his father had an offspring.Afterwards, Lin Ting came in front of the prince. He looked at the person who had protected him since he was a child, and said that it was impossible not to let him go. He once regarded him as his father, but as the status of the person in front of him became more and more Gao, but he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and now he could only kowtow three times, "Lin Ting thanked His Royal Highness for his care over the years, if he is forced to do so in the future, he will definitely die!" The prince hurriedly helped himself up My nephew, with mixed feelings in his heart and a little sore eyes, didn't know what to say. After a long time, he said, "Your father and I are very good friends. You can call me 'Uncle'." "It's 'Uncle' Where did you come from 'Uncle'?" Before Lin Ting could speak, Mei Changsu complained in dissatisfaction. Hearing this, the crown prince raised his eyes to look at him, and saw him nodding slightly at him, so he understood what he meant. Some excitedly said: "I'm dizzy, I should be called 'Uncle', your father is my best brother, so I should be called 'Uncle'!" Lin Ting was a little puzzled, he always thought that His Royal Highness is older than his father It's long, but since the two elders have said so, he can't ask any more, so he salutes: "My nephew has seen my uncle." He cried out in a hurry, and then gave up a heavy gift in return.

The following ceremony was much more normal, "Uncle Meng" felt very loyal, "Uncle Lin"... a little unreliable, "Uncle Jingrui" was very kind, "Uncle Yujin"...was quite noisy, "Uncle Mu "Very cute, "Little Uncle Feiliu"... so awkward!In addition, there were his father's subordinates "Uncle Nie", "Aunt Nie", "Uncle Wei" and so on. Although there were many people, Lin Ting saluted everyone meticulously, and everyone couldn't help secretly applauding.

Finally, the meeting ceremony was over, and because Mei Changsu and the others were going on a long journey tomorrow, they all dragged them and gave them detailed instructions. At noon, because it was not easy to eat in the ancestral hall, and they expected that they would have to pack up again, Only then did they leave one after another, and before they left, they also said that they must go to the gate of the city to see them off early the next day, and then they left.

Early the next morning, after Mei Changsu and the others bid farewell to the Prince and the others at the gate of the city, they set off towards the boundless rivers and lakes.
