Chapter 104 Three Children Changing Their Surnames
When the brothers Zhao Anping and Zhao Anwei heard what their father said, their faces did not change. They did not care about it. They both felt that they were capable people and would have a bright future if they worked hard.
As for the other people in the room, even if they had some thoughts in their minds, they didn't dare to show anything on their faces. Now they could only smile and agree with Wu An Hou and the others.
The one who had the most ideas among them was Zhao Lingyun. She felt that her father had not explained it clearly, and she did not believe that her elder sister had any other abilities.
But this has nothing to do with her. She is just a concubine's daughter. Even if these connections in the Marquis' Mansion are not used by her elder sister, it is estimated that they will basically not be able to reach her. She still has three illegitimate brothers! If there are any benefits, her father will definitely give them priority.
Zhao Lingyun felt that since she had already achieved her goal of becoming a legitimate daughter, she couldn't afford to mess around any further. It would be best if she could maintain a good relationship with her legitimate mother and sister, so that she would have someone to support her and advise her when she got married. She had finally figured out that jealousy would only make her situation worse.
"Mother, my sister has finally found happiness after all the hardships she has endured. Life will get better and better in the future."
"Second sister is right. Big sister's life will get better and better in the future, and mother can rest assured." The Crown Prince's wife also immediately spoke to coax the Marquis' wife. She was not stupid. Anyway, it was better to give the resources in her father's hands to her eldest sister-in-law than to those illegitimate children.
As for leaving some for her husband or her son, don't joke. Her husband is already the prince, so he has to leave some for others. As for her son, that's too far away.
Zhao Anwei's wife beside him also nodded in agreement with a smile. She had no opinion on these things. She thought it was very simple anyway. As long as her husband had no opinion, she had no opinion either.
Seeing this, the wife of Marquis Wu'an smiled happily, "Meng'er will be very happy to know that you are all happy for her. Mother knows that you are all good children. Since everyone is here today, let's have lunch together! Let's be happy together."
Marquis Wu'an and his wife both felt that no matter how many secret thoughts the other party had in private, as long as they didn't offend them in front of them, they would pretend not to know. After all, if you are not deaf or dumb, you are not a patriarch! So the lunch at the Marquis Wu'an Mansion was quite satisfactory.
Meanwhile, Zhao Lingmeng was also having lunch with her two children. She didn't have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. She looked at the two little ones calmly and asked, "Did Mom change your names?"
"Wow, what kind of name did mom change herself to? It must be nice. I like it."
Zhao Lingmeng looked at her second son's antics, and also stared at her eldest son with curiosity. "There's no need to be so exaggerated. It's just a name change."
"Mom, please tell me quickly! My brother and I can't wait." After Sun Qiming finished speaking, he did not forget to pull Sun Qijing, "Brother, you are right!"
Sun Qijing looked at Sun Qiming leaning over to pull at his clothes with his little hand, and could only nod lovingly. Under Sun Qiming's fixed gaze, he added, "Mom, I'm curious too."
"Two clever children, from now on you two will be called Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming, and your youngest brother will be called..."
"Mom, I know this. My younger brother's name is Zhao Houyang." Zhao Houjing couldn't wait to interrupt Zhao Lingmeng.
"Our Jing'er is so smart." Zhao Lingmeng still praised with a smile.
"This way, Mom can still call my brother Jing'er, call me Ming'er, and call my younger brother Yang'er, without feeling like I'm calling someone else. Mom, I like this name."
Zhao Lingmeng could sense Zhao Houming's affection from his words. Then, Zhao Lingmeng looked at Zhao Houjing, who nodded happily. Although he'd preferred to keep his mother's surname, he was glad to not have to adjust to a new name.
Zhao Ling dreamed that the children liked the name she had chosen, and she was very happy, feeling relieved. She quickly rolled herself a roast duck on the table and said, "Come on, let's have some roast duck together."
Although Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming didn't understand what Zhao Lingmeng was saying, they also imitated Zhao Lingmeng's clumsy hands and rolled a roast duck for themselves. They raised it and clinked it with Zhao Lingmeng, and then the three of them happily devoured the entire plate of roast duck. As a result, the three of them collapsed in their chairs and drank digestive tea.
"Mom, when will you take me and my brother out to play? We've finished playing at home." Seeing his mother happy, Zhao Houming immediately expressed his desire to go out and play.
There is no child who doesn't envy going out to play. When Zhao Houjing heard his brother say this, he turned to look at Zhao Lingmeng, looking as if he was expecting his mother's answer.
Zhao Lingmeng thought that the mansion was going to start building the ancestral hall soon, and the mansion would definitely not be quiet. The two little guys might want to go and see it, and the construction site would definitely not be safe.
Zhao Ling dreamed that she would draw the blueprints and send them to her father in the next two days, and then see if her mother and second sister were free. If they were, they would go to the hot spring villa and stay for a while. If they didn't want to go, she would take her three children there to stay for a while and study the manufacturing of fine iron. It just so happened that the two villas were next to each other, and she had not visited them yet.
Zhao Ling's dream became clear, and she said, "Wait a few days! In a few days, Mom will take you to the hot spring resort outside the city. Then Mom will teach you how to swim, okay?"
"Okay!" This time the two little guys were very united and said yes at the same time.
"What about Wu Zhonghui and Master Wu?" Zhao Houjing suddenly remembered his teacher and friend, and couldn't wait to ask Zhao Lingmeng.
Zhao Ling dreamed that he was still counting on Master Wu to look after her child! "They should also come with us to live on the farm for a while. It's warm there, and it won't interfere with your two brothers learning to read and listening to stories. What do you think?"
"Mom is the best!" When Zhao Houjing heard Zhao Lingmeng say this, he was happier than when he heard that he could go. He especially liked playing with Wu Zhonghui, and the feeling was different from playing with his younger brother.
"Alright, both of you hurry up and finish your drinks and go take a nap! Mom's going to the study to write a letter to your grandfather, asking him to find someone to help us oversee the renovations of the ancestral hall. Only then can we go out and play."
"Then mom, you go and write quickly! My brother and I are going to bed." After Zhao Houming said this, he gulped down the digestive tea in his hand, and then he began to stare at Zhao Houjing.
Zhao Houjing could only gulp down his digestive tea and said, "Mom, my brother and I will take our leave."
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the two of them and nodded. She felt that since Zhao Houjing chose her and did not go with Sun Tu, Zhao Houming's attitude towards Zhao Houjing had become much better.
