"Dad, my son is over fifty years old. Haha, let's leave this adoption to a few younger brothers." If the eldest son Gu adopts the family, Nian will be the first to jump up and fight with others. The good-natured eldest son of Gu is inappropriate and runs away.

To be an uncle's son, one must be a fool.

The eldest brother has already rejected him, which is definitely not a good thing. Third Young Master Gu said, "Dad, my son is not suitable for adoption at this age. He should be left to the fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers."

"Dad, I...I...I have poor health and I still have nothing to do. I'm afraid I'm going to drag my uncle down." The fourth master Gu stuttered, implying that even if he adopted the family, there would still be no one to inherit the incense from Uncle Gu Shikui.

, the results are the same.

The Fifth Young Master Gu and the Fifth Young Madam looked at each other quietly. Based on their ages, he and the Sixth Brother were the most suitable adoptive parents. However, the Sixth Brother was the one in his father's heart, and no one would adopt him.

The Fifth Young Master Gu was dull and could never speak completely in front of Magistrate Gu. The Fifth Young Master was extremely anxious. This matter must not be her husband's turn. Look at this clan uncle, dressed in Confucian attire, and still just a human being.

Doing business, this lowly merchant status

His share is not comparable to that of the Gu family's official family, and in Muzhou, everyone will give three cents of face to the Gu family as soon as they are reported out. If you really give up the great wealth of the son of the prefect to become a son to a shabby uncle, this

Ask her how to hold her head up in front of her mother-in-law's sister-in-law.

"Oh dad," the fifth young lady wiped away her tears as soon as she spoke, "don't you know that Heng Rui got sick as soon as he left Muzhou, and he simply couldn't adapt to the conditions outside. Although my daughter-in-law and Heng Rui

Rui really wants to share his worries for his father, but with the way Heng Rui is acting like this, isn’t it just asking him to die? Dad..."

The third young lady chuckled, "Fifth younger brother and sister, didn't the fifth younger brother accompany you to your natal home in Guizhou a month ago, and stayed at your natal home for a few days? How come your natal family has moved to Muzhou, ah? We

No one knows, haha." I can't leave Muzhou, but I can go to Guizhou, and I can't tell any good lies.

"Third sister-in-law, in that case, you can let third brother adopt you!" the fifth young lady retorted.

The third young lady was angry, "What are you talking about? My husband is about the same age as Uncle Shikui, how can we adopt him?" Calling a man of about the same age her father, she didn't want to be a human being anymore.

"Why can't we adopt him? We just call him daddy. Besides, Uncle Shikui really cares about you and your wife. If you didn't have a son, you wouldn't be able to adopt him even if you wanted to!" Not to be outdone, Mrs. Fifth Young Master shouted back.

.

"Tong Wan, how dare you talk to me like this! I am your third sister-in-law!" Mrs. Gu Third Young Master was trembling with anger.

"Hey, third sister-in-law, who are you? Ha... she's just the daughter of a policeman. If your father hadn't saved my father-in-law back then, you would never have been able to get in through the Gu family's door for eight lifetimes!"

As soon as Ms. Tong finished speaking, several young ladies present covered their mouths and laughed. Among the six young ladies of the Gu family, the third young lady, Mrs. You, was undoubtedly the humblest. Her father was just a junior from the Yamen of the prefect of Muzhou.

The catcher's mother also came from a small family. It turns out that these young ladies are the highest-ranking Nian family members and distant relatives of Marquis Jingde.

niece, but as soon as Su Jinxin came, the Nian family was suppressed. Although Su Jinxin was just the daughter of a merchant, she accepted Princess Xunyang as her adoptive mother, and she also had the younger prince of Xunyang as her younger brother.

With the "Destined Fate" bestowed by the emperor, her status suddenly rose, becoming the highest status among the female members of the Gu family.

"You guys..." Youshi was stabbed in a sore spot and was blocked for a moment without being able to say a word. However, Fourth Young Master Gu was a timid and cowardly person, so he pulled Youshi and said, "Forget it, we are all one family.

"

Youshi said bitterly, "Fifth brother and sister, please forgive me for talking too wildly. There is no doubt that this adoptive person is also the fifth brother."

Tong Wan stamped her feet and said coquettishly to Magistrate Gu, "Dad, Hengrui and I will never leave you even if we die. We will stay by your side and take care of you until we grow old."

"Yes, yes, Rui'er can't live without her father." Tong secretly pinched Gu Hengrui, and Gu Hengrui immediately agreed, nodding like a green onion.

The Fifth Young Master, Gu Hengrui, was also a henpecked person, and Su Jinxin secretly noticed it.

"You all are not willing to adopt me, so how can your uncle Shikui's line be cut off from now on?" Gu Zhifu pretended to be sad, "Just now, weren't you all willing to share my worries for me? Why, when the matter comes, you and I will all blame each other.

Give it to you, it really chills me."

The young masters of the Gu family were too frightened to speak, but they said in their hearts, Master, don’t you love your sixth brother the most? Since you want to adopt him, you can find the precious son you hold in your hands. Ha... your sixth brother is your son.

, you can’t bear to part with us, aren’t we your sons? We favor one over the other.

Here, several young masters and young ladies were making a fuss over the matter of adoption, but Mr. Gu Liu, who was sitting at the bottom of the table, still looked like it had nothing to do with him, "Jin Xin, eat this, this

It’s the best dish in our house.”

Mr. Gu Liu was able to keep his composure, but Su Jinxin was even more calm than him. She slowly chewed the food in her mouth and ate one bite at a time, making only Mr. Gu and the young lady grit their teeth.

The sixth brother and sister-in-law whom dad dotes on are so arrogant, huh, let’s see how long you two can be proud of them.

The drunkard's intention was not to drink. Su Jinxin put down her chopsticks and quietly wrote seven words in the palm of Mr. Gu Liu's hand. Mr. Gu Liu held her hand under the table and wrote in silence. Then,

The two of them had a tacit understanding.

But what Su Jinxin didn't understand was that, logically speaking, Gu Xiaoliu was the most beloved son of Magistrate Gu, so how could he be willing to let him succeed him?

"Everyone sit down." Gu Zhifu's old eyes were a little anxious. All the sons reacted, but the one who should react the most didn't react at all. If he wasn't afraid of people getting suspicious, he wouldn't sing "I am you" with Shikui.

Just drink and act out this drama.

Gu Shikui's heart reached a low point, "Cousin, I haven't told my wife about this yet. Let's talk about it when I come back to Muzhou next time."

"Oh, that's fine." Magistrate Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to give away the precious son he had raised for nearly twenty years. Wouldn't this be poaching his heart?

"Uncle, Jin Xin and your husband wish you a safe journey on your trip." The adoption matter was settled in the end. Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Jinxin dragged Mr. Gu Liu to his feet.

If he didn't pull Gu Xiaoliu, Gu Xiaoliu would probably fall asleep again with his head hanging down. Su Jinxin held the wine in her hand, secretly hating that Mr. Gu Liu's old habit of sleeping was hard to change.

Gu Shikui didn't expect that Su Jinxin and Mr. Gu Liu would toast to him. He was stunned for a moment, and joy appeared on his face again, "Uncle, I also wish you a happy life and a long life."

Mr. Gu Liu drank a glass, his eyes slightly drunk, "Uncle, if you are free, you can come to Muzhou to visit us often."

"Okay. Okay." Mr. Gu Liu said this casually, but Gu Shikui was already moved to tears.

As soon as Mr. Gu Liu and Su Jinxin finished toasting, the young masters and young ladies of the Gu family also went to propose a toast one by one. As long as they did not adopt them, they would naturally be happy to be filial sons in front of Magistrate Gu.

At lunch, everyone had their own thoughts.

The You family and the Tong family have even become enemies, but the Lu family is gloating in her heart. Although the old man has not mentioned the adoption for the time being, it seems that this matter will not be let go easily. Haha, her husband died long ago anyway.

No matter how they try to adopt her, she cannot adopt this house. At this moment, Mrs. Lu is extremely lucky that her short-lived husband died in time. Otherwise, due to bad luck, she and her son would have lived a hard life in that poor uncle's house.

After leaving Biqin Tower, Zhao Yichu rushed over and said, "Sister Su, it's so boring in the house. Take me out to play."

Just when Zhao Yichu was about to pounce on Su Jinxin, Mr. Gu Liu picked up Zhao Yichu's shirt and said, "Young Master, if you are bored, I will let Zhan Peng and the others play with you."

Zhan Peng immediately lost his face. After all, in addition to running errands and juggling, he also had one more task, taking care of the children, and he was still a noble young prince.

Young Master Gu Liu pushed Zhao Yichu to Zhan Peng, "Go and protect the young prince Zhou Quan outside the mansion."

Zhan Peng understood immediately, picked up Zhao Yichu and flew away without even giving Zhao Yichu a chance to scream.

When Lou Tian reacted, Zhan Peng and Zhao Yichu were nowhere to be seen.

"Miss Su Er, I'm resigning." Lou Tian is now Zhao Yichu's personal bodyguard. Wherever Zhao Yichu goes, he will naturally follow him. At that moment, he also used Qinggong and flew out of Gu's house.

Su Jinxin shook her head helplessly, "Fan Fan is just a child, why are you bullying him?"

"You just came back from prison, and old man Gu took you to have lunch again. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." Mr. Gu Liu said distressedly, "I have already told Qiaolan and the others to prepare fragrant soup for you. You go and wash up first."

"After washing..." Mr. Gu Liu came close to Su Jinxin's ear and said in a low-alcohol and sultry voice, "Let's go back and continue the wedding ceremony."

As expected, he was a greedy young master known to everyone in the south of the Yangtze River. Su Jinxin was seduced by this intoxicating voice. Not only did his cheeks feel hot, but even his neck turned red. "Ignore you." He pushed Mr. Gu Liu away and walked forward.

.

It was rare that Su Jinxin still had a bit of a woman's shyness. Young Master Gu Liu smiled softly, his enchanting handsome face becoming more and more elegant.

"Sixth Young Master, Sixth Young Madam." They walked through a winding corridor and then passed through the hanging flower door. Wherever they passed, the servants of the Gu family all respectfully gave way.

"Second Miss, let the servants take care of you to take a bath." Qiaolan and Qinglan were already waiting in the courtyard. When they saw Su Jinxin coming back, they all gathered around happily. The second uncle's calculation was really accurate. Their hot water had just been boiled.

As soon as the fragrant soup was prepared, the second lady came back.

Su Jinxin's three personal maids always only had eyes for Su Jinxin as their master. Gu Liugong was standing there, and none of the three of them saw him. Gu Liugong took a few more steps back and forth in front of them.

, the three of them still didn't see it. Young Master Gu Liu was discouraged, pulled Zhan Rang and asked, "Is this Young Master losing his luster with old age?"

Zhan Rang suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "Young Master is in his prime, that's because they have no vision."

Well, they are all a group of maids who have been spoiled by their jealousy. Mr. Gu Liu yawned and said pitifully, "Zhan Rang, go and prepare hot water for me."

Zhanyi spread his hands and said, "Master, this is the inner house. I'm sorry for the inconvenience of staying here for a long time. Please take care of yourself!" After saying that, he suppressed his laughter and ran away.

"Second uncle, the young lady has told me that there is a well in the yard in front. You can just fetch water and wash it yourself." Qiaolan came over and put a set of purple brocade robes in the hands of Mr. Gu Liu. "The second young lady said again, right now

The weather is neither cold nor hot, and the water in the well is at just the right temperature, which is just right for removing the hot air from my second uncle's body."
