Chapter 76 Heirloom

Chapter 76 Heirloom
Shao Quanzhong was exposed to new ideas in his previous life, but he is essentially an old-fashioned person.

He chose Rong Hui as his wife in this life, but he summed up the lessons of his previous life and made efforts to change his temper and stubborn old-fashioned ideas.

He is a chivalrous and generous person. He is treacherous to his enemies but open and righteous to his own people. He is also extremely filial to his parents, and he thinks there is no need to change this.

In this life, he is undoubtedly the son of Lao Shao. He gradually awakened his memories of his past life when he was a teenager. It is now called "pre-natal wisdom", or he used to think that he was "possessed by a ghost".

Old Shao has a plan, and Shao Quanzhong must definitely go.

"Hui Er, dress up and come with me to meet my parents-in-law."

"Hey!"

Rong Hui ran over to put on her light makeup.

Yung Wing and his daughter did not believe in foreign religions and opposed feudal ethics. The only tradition they did not oppose was filial piety.

No one could have imagined that the "foreign vixen" in Wenxiu's eyes proposed to Shao Quanzhong that the prerequisite for re-holding the wedding in the future was to go to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor to pay homage.

Rong Hong was a true descendant of the Yellow Emperor who served his country and his people, and so was Rong Hui.

Seeing how inseparable the two were, Shao Quanzhong even mentioned meeting the parents-in-law, while old man Guo Wengui frowned and raised his beard.

This is a shameless crazy girl. When other people take a concubine, they have to carry her into the house in a sedan chair, but you just come here without any status.

Well, my son-in-law will surely have a prosperous career in the future, so having a maid is nothing. I can't show it now, so I'll trick my son-in-law to Jingjiang first.

Otherwise, if my son-in-law is in love with this crazy girl, I will be in trouble if he refuses to go to the wedding ceremony.

As long as he arrives in Jingjiang, with Mr. Shao watching over him, would he dare to disobey his father's orders?

Once he was branded as a disobedient person, he would never be able to work in the Qing officialdom again.

Rong Hui took a long time to dress up before coming out. She was carrying a bulging small bag, and no one knew what was in it.

Even though she was a real crazy girl, she was still nervous when she met her in-laws for the first time.

"Uncle Gui, why is Father-in-law so anxious to ask Brother Shao to go?"

"Ah--this--this--I don't know. You'll know when you get there."

This little bitch, my father-in-law has already called her, I will just endure it for now.

Humph, the young lady is the principal wife who was married to you in a formal ceremony, so you have to serve tea to her when the time comes.

The single-masted clipper's hard sail was deployed as fast as an arrow, but the water route was a bit long. When we arrived in Jingjiang, it was already seven o'clock in the evening and it was dark.

Wen Gui led the way, followed by Shao Quanzhong and Rong Hui, and behind them came Zhang Siwen with his three personal soldiers. The other six were on holiday, but only Zhang Siwen did not need a holiday.

From a distance away from Shao's house, he heard the sound of drums and music. Shao Quanzhong was surprised, "Whose wedding is this?"

Wen Gui looked at Rong Hui, who had no foresight, with a teasing look, "Ahem, you'll know when you get there."

Huh? It's so lively in my own house. Could it be that one of my dad's poor neighbors is using my yard to host a buffet?
This was how things were done in Luzhuang in the past. When I was a child, I heard that when my mother married my father, they borrowed the yard of Song Laosan’s father’s house to hold a buffet banquet.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my father Shao Shucai wearing a brand new silk robe, looking like a nouveau riche, and happily welcoming guests.

Isn’t the person sitting in the distance the local elder county magistrate, Lord You?
When I heard that Shao Quanzhong had come home, my mother rushed over, also wearing a brand new nouveau riche outfit.

Shao Quanzhong knelt down before his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial child. I cannot come home often to serve you. I kowtow to you."

Old Shao looked at Little Shao, who was wearing the uniform of a sixth-rank official, and nodded with satisfaction.

He is now knowledgeable and knows the ranking of Manchu officials from beasts in human form.

Although my son's top has not changed, the pattern on his patched uniform has changed from an animal to a bird, from a leopard to a heron.

At first, I was a country bumpkin and thought that my son's sixth-rank military officer was higher than the county magistrate, which made me laugh. Now my son is a sixth-rank civil official, and he is really higher than Lord You.

When my son gets promoted, I, as his father, should stand tall with my head held high.

It is said that when Shao Quanzhong returned to his hometown, he insisted on changing his military uniform into official uniform because his fellow villagers would recognize it and as long as the old people were happy, that was all.

Instead, the old lady touched Shao Quanzhong's face and said, "My child, you look a little listless. Are you tired these past two days?"

Um, this - cough cough. Shao Quanzhong, who prided himself on his thick skin, was embarrassed to answer, not knowing that something even more tiring was waiting for him.

Shao Quanzhong stood up and said, "Dad, Mom, let me introduce your daughter-in-law to you.

Huier, come and greet your parents-in-law."

Rong Hui walked over nervously, took a deep breath and knelt down, "Daughter-in-law Rong Hui, I greet father and mother."

The old couple were not surprised.

Over the past day, Mrs. Wen has explained to them why she was in such a hurry to hold the wedding.

My son is handsome and capable. He is now a hottie and I heard that he has taken a foreign student from Shanghai as his concubine.

Mrs. Wen said that she had no objection to her son-in-law taking a concubine, but if the concubine got pregnant first, and the illegitimate son was older than the legitimate son, that would be a potential trouble in a wealthy family.

A noble family has a legitimate son and the eldest son, which is the foundation of stability.

Shao Shucai and his wife kept saying yes and were very happy.

They don't care about whether they are born legitimate or illegitimate, as long as they are sons, they are our grandsons. The Shao family has many branches and leaves, and the more grandchildren the better.

Of course, they were still a bit cunning like peasants, and they couldn't show it in front of their mother-in-law. But they were still very kind to the foreign student who kowtowed to them.

"Get up, get up. This child is so handsome. My son has good taste."

You can be nice to a concubine, but there is no gift to give. Rong Hui didn't care, rummaged through her bag, and took out two bottles.

"Mother, this is French vanishing cream sold on behalf of a foreign company. It's a gift I prepared for you."

"Dad, this pocket watch is made in Switzerland. I prepared it for you a long time ago."

Well, it’s embarrassing that my son’s concubine gave us gifts, but we didn’t prepare any gifts.

The simple old couple was a little embarrassed. When Rong Hui took out the pocket watch from her bag, the watch chain pulled out two big red notes from the bag.

Rong Hui picked it up and said, "Dad, Mom, look, this is the dragon and phoenix sticker between Yu Ting and me. We are already officially a legal couple.

We have discussed that we should not rush to hold a wedding, but wait until Yuting's business reaches a certain scale in the future before holding a big wedding."

Ah? Dragon and Phoenix stickers!
Shao Shucai was stunned. This - this - it turns out that his son was going to marry this foreign student as his principal wife.

But here the marriage certificate, three matchmakers and six certificates are all ready, what should I do? Who has two principal wives?

It was the old lady who reacted all of a sudden.

As a mother, I know that my son is a very scheming person.

If he valued this foreign student and wanted her to be his principal wife, it must not be because he was attracted by her beauty. In terms of appearance alone, Wenxiu was not bad at all.

Look at these two bottles of foreign vanishing cream and that Swiss watch. Can ordinary people afford them?

Who in the Qing Dynasty didn't know how powerful the foreigners were?

Even though the Rong family is not as rich as the Wen family, they have connections with foreigners, which will definitely be of great help to his son's cause.

If I and the old man decide to arrange for my son to marry Wen, will it affect my son's important plans?
Never mind that and let your son handle it.

I like this foreign student too. He is so polite, well-behaved, and handsome.

It seems that she has slept with her son, calls me mother, gives me gifts, and has a certificate. I can't let her down.

The old lady gritted her teeth, tremblingly took out a small bag from her bosom, opened it carefully, and inside was a pair of old silver bracelets.

“Child, this bracelet is not valuable, but it was passed down to me by Quanzhong’s grandmother. You can also pass it down to your daughter-in-law in the future.

Now--"

"Wait!"

Mrs. Wen had been listening for a long time.

Seeing that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, Rong Hui called "Dad, Mom" ​​sweetly, and the old lady of the Shao family was fooled into giving the important family heirloom to this foreign vixen. How could she tolerate this?
