Mugui

When it was almost noon, Yang Mu was woken up by Daishan's shaking, and Yang Shitou had already had breakfast.

Dai Shan said: "Miss, hurry up and wash up, the Duke and the Shizi have already returned, and they said that they want to open the ancestral hall before noon. The wife of the Shizi sent a message to let the young lady take the stone to the ancestral hall."

Yang Mu knew that this was the fulfillment of what the Tang family said this morning. The Yang family wanted to adopt Yang Shitou and consider him his adopted son.

In Dashun, adopting a son is a very formal matter. It is to open the ancestral hall and sue the ancestors.

Daishan took a note and said: "The lady of the son said that she was busy with the opening of the ancestral hall and didn't care about coming to the Cuizhuyuan, so she ordered someone to send this note. It is said that the name was written by the son himself. , I would like to ask Miss, what word should I choose for Shitou?"

Yang Mu reached out for a note, and saw three characters written on it: "Chen, Yuan, Qi".

Yang Shitou's name is an unremarkable name deliberately given to a countryman's "cheaply raised" child. Now that he is going to be adopted by the Yang family as a foster son, he naturally deserves a big name.

Yang Mu called Yang Shitou and asked, "Is Shitou willing to recognize sister's parents as parents?"

Yang Shitou didn't understand, he tilted his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Is that sister still a sister?"

Yang Mu nodded and said, "Sister is still sister, that is, Shitou has an extra pair of parents. Does Shitou like sister's parents?"

Yang Shitou thought about Yang Zhen in his small head, and then about Tang, but he couldn't figure out why.

Yang Mu rubbed Shitou's little head, and said, "The little balls yesterday were given to you by my sister's mother."

Yang Shitou immediately remembered the delicious dishes yesterday, and asked: "Then will my sister's mother still give Shitou small balls?"

Yang Mu laughed "puchi". This child is still too young, and he can't explain many things clearly.

She patiently said: "Whether Shitou recognizes sister's parents as godfathers or not, they will treat Shitou well."

Yang Shitou said happily: "Then admit it! They are good, and Shitou is also good!"

Stone's logic is that since his sister's parents are kind to him, then he is also kind to them.

Yang Mu smiled, the logic of children is so simple.

After confirming that Yang Shitou did not object to this matter, Yang Mu hurriedly got up, washed and dressed, and took Yang Shitou to the southeast corner of the front yard.

In the southeast corner of the Duke's Mansion, there is not only the ancestral hall, but also the Guan Gong Temple.

Many members of the Yang family were already waiting outside the ancestral hall. When they saw Yang Mu and Yang Shitou, who was being carried by Qiaoqiao, they had different expressions.

The people in the second room were obviously disdainful, while Yang Zhen and Tang's were smiling, and Chen's face was sullen, unwilling to show any expression to Yang Mu and his brother.

Tang came over and asked, "Those three words, which one did you choose?"

Yang Mudao: "Let's say 'Qi'."

"Qi" has the meaning of opening, and Yang Mu hopes that Yang Shitou will start a better life from now on.

Tang said in a low voice: "Your father also said that the word 'Qi' is the best."

While the two were talking, Yang Chengen came and immediately announced the opening of the ancestral hall.

The Yang family is different from other families. The female family members of the Yang family can kneel and worship in the ancestral hall, so when the gate of the ancestral hall opened, everyone walked in.

First, Yang Chengen led the crowd to kneel down and offer incense to many memorial tablets.

Afterwards, Yang Cheng'en reported to his ancestors about Aunt Miao's involvement.

Yang Zhen brought a thick family tree, and Yang Chengen changed the names of Yang Mu and Yang Fei.

From now on, it will be the eldest daughter Yang Mu and the second daughter Yang Fei.

In the end, Yang Chengen crossed out Yang Hua's name with his own hands, and wrote Yang Shitou's new name - "Yang Qi" under Yang Zhen and Tang's name, marking it as the adopted son.

The originally cumbersome etiquette was quickly and swiftly made by Yang Chengen, a vigorous old man. In just a short time, all the procedures were completed.

After closing the ancestral hall, Yang Chengen took his family to Jingfuyuan for dinner.

Satisfied with wine and food, everyone sat together and drank hawthorn tea for digestion.

Yang Cheng'en said: "Since the ancestral temple has been opened for this matter, it is time for Empress Dowager Shu to meet Sister Mu. Mrs. Shizi, send a post to the palace to explain this matter."

Tang responded with a smile all over his face.

Yang Mu looked in admiration for Tang. When she just learned that her daughter had been replaced yesterday, she still acted like "I don't believe it". She just chatted all night last night. Today, she not only accepted the matter, but also acted like What the hell is that happy look?

Tang said: "Since Miss Mu is the first daughter, I think we should live in another yard. The Green Bamboo Courtyard is too small to support the grandeur of the eldest daughter."

Yang Chengen was also about to talk about this matter, nodded in agreement and said: "Pick up Furong Island and give it to Miss Mu to live in. It's closer to the martial arts field, and there is also a small martial arts field. If you practice martial arts at night, it won't affect others. .”

Mrs. Chen immediately shouted: "No! How can a girl who came back from the countryside be worthy of Furong Island?"

Furong Island is one of the largest courtyards in the Yang family's backyard, second only to Jingfuyuan, and even larger than Duobaoyuan and Yulanyuan.

Mrs. Chen has always thought about arranging the second bedroom on Furong Island, but Yang Cheng'en disagreed, saying that the second bedroom should not go beyond the first room, and the courtyard should not be larger than the first room.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chengen wanted to give Furong Island to Yang Mu today!

Yang Chengen glanced at his old wife and said, "You can't let Sister Mu bring Brother Qi to live in the martial arts field?"

The courtyards in the backyard of Yang’s family are basically full. Youyuyuan and Yichun Pavilion are guest courtyards, which are occasionally used by relatives, friends and female relatives; the color screen courtyard used to be lived by Aunt Miao, which is unlucky; the Jinling Pavilion was the former concubine Yang Yi According to the rules, no one can live in the former boudoir; Aunt Chen's daughter Yang Huiwen lived in He Luxie before, so she can't let her go back to her mother's house without a place to live.

Then there are only Furong Island, Green Bamboo Court and Yingyang Court left in the backyard.

Chen frowned and said, "Isn't there Yingyangyuan?"

Tang couldn't help but said: "Yingyang courtyard is as big as Cuizhu courtyard, how can the eldest daughter of the Yang family live in such a small courtyard?"

Chen said: "Since Mu and Fei have changed their identities, it's all right to change the yard."

Tang said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, forgive me, Miss Fei is still unable to get out of bed."

Mrs. Chen wanted to say something, but Yang Chengen waved his hand and said, "Since Siyue was able to live in Furong Island back then, so can Miss Mu now!"

After saying a word, Chen's face immediately darkened. If Yang Siyue hadn't lived in that year, she would not have refused this matter so much.

Chen said: "Who is Siyue? She is a female general known throughout the capital! She is a woman who has made great contributions to Dashun! How can Miss Mu compare with Siyue?"

Yang Chengen didn't bother to tangle with his old wife, and said: "I said this, but it still counts! Just do as I say! Mrs. Shizi!"

Tang quickly responded.

Yang Chengen ordered: "I leave this matter to you, tidy up Furong Island, and let sister Mu and brother Qi live in as soon as possible."

Tang shi responded with a smile all over his face, and even glanced at Sheng shi and Chen shi provocatively, in exchange for both of them being unhappy.

After the matter was settled, Yang Chengen talked about Yang Fei again.Yang Fei can't get out of bed so far, she's not here.
