surnamed Wang

Chapter 151
"Hongxing is dead."

Nian Nu brought a shocking news.

Half a year ago, during the Battle of Kaipingwei, the Gan family army suffered heavy losses.As the fourth prince of a hundred households, Wang Bingzhen, also died in that war, entrusting his son to Wang Bingquan before his death.

Wang Gingquan once asked Hongxing if she wanted to take the child back to the capital, but she refused.

He didn't force it, and every month after that, he would visit the mother and child and send some silver and necessities along the way.

In the past two months, due to the serious injury and coma and the funeral of Sheng Endi, he has not had time to spare. Just a few days ago, he planned to take time to go to the north, but he encountered Liu Luming again and delayed again and again. Procrastinating, I didn't expect to wait for the news of Hongxing's death in the end.

Inside the Thousand Buddha Hall, Nian Nu looked sad and pale, and Hong Xing's death obviously hit her hard.

"Did you still not stand up after all?"

Wang Genquan murmured, not knowing whether he was asking a question or sighing.

"I searched all the doctors in the vicinity, and they said it was a heart disease, and there was no cure."

Niannu's voice trembled slightly. She and Hongxing were just acquaintances at the beginning, and they only regarded each other as the fourth prince's confidante.

Later, Wang Bingzhen was demoted to Kaipingwei, and the conditions were difficult.

As an oiran, Hong Xing chooses to accompany her, giving up her life of rich clothes and good food, and makes her maid Nian Nu, so she can't help but look at this affectionate woman squarely.

"Ugh……"

Wang Bingquan let out a long sigh. After Wang Bingquan died, Hong Xing had been depressed. Every time he went there before, the other party's complexion became worse. For this reason, he specially brought some supplements such as ginseng and bird's nest.

He also knows that if he can't pass the test in his heart, no amount of supplements will be in vain.

Just in case, he also specially gave his token to Niannu, so that in case of emergency, it is convenient for him to come to the capital to find him.

"Girl Hongxing let me say thank you to you before she dies, thank you for your help during this time, and..."

When Nian Nu said this, his eyes dimmed.

Wang Gangquan probably also guessed what she said next, and asked:

"Did she mean it or did you mean it?"

Nian Nu bit her lips lightly, then said:

"It's what I mean. Although I am reluctant, I think this child should recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. He is pitiful enough without his parents. I don't want him to live a life of wandering with me."

"It's also for Wang Bingjin..."

Nian Nu lowered her brows and nodded. It could be seen that she was also very reluctant to part with this child, but for the sake of the child's future, she still made a decision.

Wang Gangquan looked at the child behind her. The little guy was three and a half years old. Although he was a little timid, he was full of curiosity about Wang Gangquan. He was looking at him with wide eyes, not knowing what was going to happen next.

"You can stay and watch him grow up."

Nian Nu was obviously moved when he heard this, and his expression relaxed a little, but then he shook his head again.

"Every time I see this child, I always think of Yu'er, Miss Hongxing, and the late princess. I always feel that I am an unknown person, and I am afraid that one day this child will leave me too..."

Speaking of this, this strong woman finally couldn't hold on any longer, and big tears fell from her eyes.

Seeing his closest aunt weeping, the little guy at the side quickly stretched out his chubby little hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said grittly: "Don't cry, don't cry."

Niannu has experienced too much, first the country was ruined and her family was destroyed, then the princess left her again, then Wang Bingzhen, and now Hongxing again.

She has already experienced tragedies that ordinary people may not experience in a lifetime, and she is already too tired.

Wang Gangquan, a senior man, couldn't help his nose sore when he saw this scene. He stretched out his hand to the little guy opposite him with red eyes. The little guy was a little scared, but he didn't dodge, letting the other person stroke his head.

"I promised Wang Bingzhen to take care of his son for him before. Since you are willing, I will naturally not break my promise."

"Thank you, he didn't see the wrong person."

Seeing the other party's serious expression, even Wang Gangquan was so thick-skinned, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, so he changed the subject and said, "Where do you plan to go from now on?"

Nian Nu looked into the distance, and said lightly: "I don't know, the world is my home."

Wang Gangquan looked into the other party's lifeless eyes, how distressed this woman was at this moment, he really wanted to hold her in his arms and give her even a little warmth, it was not out of some unspeakable feelings, just because This woman is so lonely.

But he couldn't do that, he wasn't the one who should give her such expectations, and he was afraid of hurting this already bruised girl again.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Wang Gingquan watched a woman leave. In the Thousand Buddha Hall, the golden Buddha statue reflected the room very brightly.

"Little guy, what's your name?"

Wang Gingquan softly asked the child in Xiang's arms, this little guy who was crying because of parting just now was licking candied haws, and said in a childish voice, "My name is Wang Ying."

"Wang Ying..."

Wang Gangquan muttered the name, "Is it because your father is a hero?"

Wang Ying didn't know what the man holding her was talking about, she just smirked while holding the candied haws.

"From now on, your name will be Wang Qianying."

The little guy still tilted his head and licked the candied haws, not knowing what the name really meant.

In the royal family of a dynasty, each generation's name will have a unique character, such as the generation of Wang Quanquan, which has the word "handle".

This word is not found casually, but from Xu Jun's "King Wei Lie", the whole poem is:
The big handle sneaks away, the potential is worrying,
Chaowang is not the princes.

At that time, people only blamed the slight division of Jin,
I don't know that things have been dissected.

Because King Zhou Weilie violated the rules and regulations, the princes became troubled, which led to the 500-year national war in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Emperor Taizu named his descendants after this, aiming to use this as a lesson to prevent the country from splitting again.

Wang Gangquan's generation used the word "handle", and the next generation naturally used the word "qian". Wang Gangquan's move was an acknowledgment of the little guy's royal blood.

However, it doesn't matter what he says on his own, and he still needs to ask the emperor to draw up a decree to add Wang Qianying's name to the genealogy.

Wang Gangquan believed that the emperor would agree to such a trivial matter.

Sure enough, when Wang Gingquan brought Wang Qianying into the imperial study the next day, the emperor recognized it at a glance.

"This is the fourth brother's son, right?"

"The emperor has good eyesight!"

Wang Gingquan was a little surprised. If you want to talk about resemblance, this child is more like his mother, with big eyes and good looks.

The new emperor seemed to see what he was thinking, and said calmly: "This child was carved out of the same mold as his father when he was a child."

a mold?Wang Bingquan glanced at the child, and recalled Wang Bingjin's appearance in his mind, did he accidentally bump into his face later?
"Your Majesty, I came here today to..."

"Let this child recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, right?"

"The emperor really..."

"Stop taking pictures, sure."

Wang Gangquan didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, and thought it would take a while.

"What's the boy's name?"

"Back to the emperor, it turned out to be Wang Ying. From today on, it should be called Wang Qianying."

"Well, I see, I will let the people in the Ministry of Rites arrange it."

Although recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan is a matter of the emperor's words, it also needs to hold a moderate ceremony. Since the emperor said so, then this matter is basically guaranteed.

To be on the safe side, Wang Gingquan grabbed Wang Qianying and said, "Come on, kneel down and call Uncle."

The little guy was very obedient, and really knelt down and called "Uncle" sweetly.

The new emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't believe himself when he co-authored it, but seeing the cuteness of the little guy, he still responded with a smile on his face.
