Chapter 3 Adoption
Early the next morning, Lin Qingwu dressed up and prepared to go to the ancestral hall.

Outside the ancestral hall, there were two rows of children standing, a total of twelve. The younger one was estimated to be seven or eight years old, and the older one looked to be nine years old.

The old lady had arrived early, and Mrs. Wei was waiting beside her.

Others only think that the old lady attaches great importance to the adopted child. Only Lin Qingwu knows that it is because the old lady loves her grandson.

How could she not feel distressed when her blood was leaking out?If she hadn't found out about the child recently, she would have taken the child into the house early.

Lin Qingwu only felt chilled. In his previous life, he had been thinking about his adopted son until his death, wondering whether Xu Songchi would implicate his adopted son because he hated himself.

It turns out that they are a family!
"I can only blame myself for being blind..."

I'm afraid that as soon as he dies, Liu Bao'er will be carried through the door in a glorious manner and occupy the position of his aunt's mother.

How could I be willing to do this...

Suzuran pulled at the hem of her clothes before coming back to her senses and adjusting herself.

I saw the old lady smiling lovingly at a child. The child was not afraid of her, and the two looked very familiar with each other.

Lin Qingwu took a closer look and found that it was indeed Xu Zongen, the white-eyed wolf he had raised in his previous life!
Lin Qingwu sat down calmly. In his previous life, it was the old lady who kept saying that this child was a perfect match.

This time, she insisted on going against the old lady. If she chose another child to adopt her name, she didn't know if the old lady would be mad.

After saluting the old lady and Mr. Wei, he sat down in his seat.

Lingying served her with a bowl of pear soup. Since Lin Qingwu fell into the water last time, she had suffered from cold and the traditional Chinese medicine was too nutritious. The fire in her body still needed pear soup to reconcile.

Huh, it's all that girl Liu Biao, it's so unpleasant to find a wife!
"Qingwu, look, I asked Mother Chen to select these from the side branches. They are all smart and smart, especially the one in the middle. I was very happy to see it!"

The old lady looked at the child with a smile, her eyes forming a line of laughter.

Seeing the old lady smiling so happily, Mrs. Wei also raised her eyes to look at the child. He looked very ordinary, but his eyes were a little smarter, and his eyebrows were very similar to her son.

I really don’t understand why the old lady likes this child?

Is it just because he looks like the prince?
Lin Qingwu stood up and walked over.

He walked over to the child and walked around.

The old lady thought she also liked this child, after all, her eldest grandson was so clever and intelligent!He opened his mouth and was about to say that he would let her adopt the child.

"I want him."

Lin Qingwu turned around and pointed at the child standing in the corner of the second row.

She had just observed carefully, and the child was standing there neither humble nor arrogant.

He has dark hair and looks like a handsome young man.He kept his head down and behaved himself.

He doesn't have a flattering look like other children.

Yes, as long as you want it, don't you have the final say on the position of your legitimate son?

Lin Qingwu helped the old lady and Mrs. Wei.

"Old madam, mother-in-law, and daughter-in-law want this child to be the legitimate son of my Wuding Marquis Mansion."

Mrs. Wei opened her mouth and was about to agree when the old lady hurriedly interrupted her.

"no!"

As soon as the words came out, he realized that he was a little eager and quickly added: "I think that child is too dull and not smart."

Mrs. Wei also glanced at the child, how could she tell that he was not clever?

She thought Qing Wu had a good vision, but the child the old lady chose looked a bit like Liu Bao'er, and he seemed troubled at first glance!

What on earth was the old lady thinking! ?
Lin Qingwu said calmly: "Both children are extremely outstanding. Why don't we ask some questions to test them. Whichever of the two children answers the most satisfactorily will be my legitimate son."

Wei nodded, this is indeed an excellent method. "Then, just do as you say."

The old lady couldn't say anything more.

After a while, someone brought over two sets of tables and stools. After the two children took their seats, they started writing.

The children are young and cannot learn much in the exam. Only by asking them to write can we see their character.

After a while, two pieces of paper were handed into Lin Qingwu's hands.

"Bring it over and let me see it first."

The old lady said to Lin Qingwu.

She was anxious, because she didn't know what she was thinking. Liu Baoer entered the mansion only after the prince begged him, and less than half a year after entering the mansion, the prince said he had a child with that bitch.

Regarding this child, although I have met him a few times, I have never asked him about it academically.

What if you can't compare to the other one?

There was no name written on the two pieces of paper, and the old lady didn't know what to do for a while.

damned!What if I make the wrong choice? What will my eldest grandson do?
Quickly raising his head and looking down, Xu Zongen saw the old lady looking at him, but she just made a secret gesture.

The old lady hurriedly looked at the second picture, "Oh my God!"
The calligraphy on the second picture is obviously better than the first one.

This instantly gave her confidence and made her feel more at ease.

"Qing Wu, take a look at this, and Mrs. Wei, come and take a look at it too. The writing on this is really good. Even though I am old and blind, I can still see the subtlety of this!"

Wei took a glance and didn't think there was much difference between the two, but looking carefully, the second one was indeed better than the first one.

Lin Qingwu also looked at it and said, "Yes, it's a good seedling."

"Okay, you two, who wrote this calligraphy? Come on, kid, come here and identify it."

The old lady waved and looked very kind.

The two children stepped forward, and the old lady subconsciously handed the second one to Xu Zongen, but unexpectedly he took the other one.

This... what's the situation?
Mrs. Wei had basically made up her mind about the child, so she said: "Qingwu, since you have already taken care of the child, it's up to him. We just wait for the prince to come back and open the ancestral hall as soon as possible..."

"shut up!"

The old lady's cane tapped on the ground.

Mrs. Wei looked aggrieved. Did she say something wrong again?
She has always been without a backbone. The old lady and her daughter-in-law can do whatever they plan to do, and she will not participate in this matter.

"Qing Wu, although the second calligraphy is good, the first calligraphy is also very suitable for me. Why don't we adopt these two children to our Hou Mansion together."

"Qingwu listens to the old lady."

The old lady didn't expect that she would agree so neatly.

"Qingwu, I will name this child Zongen. Xu Zongen, what do you think?"

The old lady pointed.

"Whatever the old lady likes, then name him. Then name the other child Xu Hengpu."

One is Xu Zongen, the other is Xu Hengpu. The old lady has no education, and the names she chose cannot cover up her little thoughts.

No one noticed that Lin Qingwu quietly changed their positions when he first got the two pieces of paper.

She had already expected the old lady's move.
