Chapter 370: Lord Zhao is still good at arguing with others
"Oh," Zhao Houyang responded with pretended disappointment, but he looked at his mother again.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to bother with this unfortunate child. She was familiar with Lord Fan, but they were just friends! She felt that neither of them had this intention.
"Okay, stop imagining it. Jing'er, come over quickly and write a few notes for your second uncle to take back."
When Zhao Houjing heard his mother say this, he felt a little relieved and immediately walked over to Zhao Lingmeng and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Qiuyue and the others placed blank invitation cards, paper, ink, brush and inkstone in front of Zhao Houjing.
Zhao Houjing had written invitations before, so he wrote quickly and finished several different ones in no time. He handed them all to Zhao Lingmeng.
"Mom, do you think there's anything you're satisfied with among these? If you're not satisfied with any of them, I'll write another one."
Zhao Lingmeng took the invitations written by Zhao Houjing, looked over them carefully, and decided on one that suited her needs the most. She handed it to Zhao Houjing and instructed, "Let's write it according to this one! Regarding your status, you can enter the ancestral hall as Zhao Houyang's adoptive father!"
"Godfather?"
Everyone present looked at Zhao Lingmeng in surprise, except Zhao Houyang.
Zhao Anwei was really anxious. He didn't recognize anyone as his godfather randomly. He looked at Zhao Lingmeng seriously and said, "Little sister, you have to think this through carefully."
Zhao Lingmeng ignored Zhao Anwei and turned her gaze directly to Zhao Houyang: "Yang'er, do you think Doctor Ma is qualified to be your adoptive father?"
"That's more than enough. Yang'er feels very honored to have such a godfather." Zhao Houyang really thinks that Doctor Ma is very good, much better than his scumbag father.
"Don't you despise him for being just a quack? What if someone brings up his origins in the future?"
Zhao Lingmeng thought that if Zhao Houyang didn't want to, she could just find someone else. She felt that in such matters, the person should be willing.
"Mom, what are you thinking! My unworthy father is just an ordinary citizen! He thinks that he is superior just because he got a third place in the imperial examination. He is not even worthy of carrying my adoptive father's shoes."
Zhao Houyang really thought so. A military doctor who could go to the battlefield! He thought it was awesome.
Zhao Lingmeng glanced at Zhao Anwei with pride, "Look, Yang'er is willing. Second brother, you are too old-fashioned!"
"Alright, as long as you and your mother are willing, that's all." Zhao Anwei pulled out two blank invitations from the table and threw them on the table boldly. "Nephew, please help me write three. I'll take them away. Hurry up, I have to go pick up your second aunt and cousin."
What could Zhao Houjing do? He could only write it quickly.
While he was writing, Zhao Houming came up to him and leaned casually on the table.
"Brother, we've only been away for a year, but it feels like a long time. A lot of things have happened! And we're all unaware of them. This makes me even less willing to go on an overseas assignment."
While Zhao Houjing was writing according to the template, he took the time to criticize Zhao Houming for thinking too much:
"Second brother, be realistic. You are not even a student now, so there is no official position for you."
Zhao Anwei also looked at his second nephew with amusement, "Your brother is right, you should be more realistic."
At this time, Zhao Anwei didn't know about Zhao Houming's evildoer. When he found out, he thought about what happened today and felt inexplicably slapped in the face.
Zhao Houming smiled from an angle that Zhao Anwei couldn't see, and didn't say anything to defend himself. He still had confidence in his knowledge, and he preferred to prove himself through action.
As soon as Zhao Houjing finished writing the invitation, Zhao Houming quickly took out three invitations and put them directly in Zhao Anwei's hands.
"Second uncle, you should hurry up and take it to pick up my aunt! If you go now, you can stay at your aunt's maternal home for a while longer, have dinner together, and then go back home together."
After Zhao Anwei received the invitation, he said goodbye to his younger sister Zhao Lingmeng. He was indeed anxious to pick up his wife and children.
Zhao Lingmeng ordered Qiuyue to personally escort her second brother out, and she also began to instruct the people in the mansion to prepare. Since it was going to be a big event, it had to be done well.
So Zhao Houjing and his two brothers spent the whole afternoon writing invitations. Except for the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion and the Jin Mansion, which Zhao Lingmeng disliked, Zhao Lingmeng invited all the other more prestigious families.
By evening, all the nobles in Yuan Kyoto knew about this matter.
The most anxious ones were the elders of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, who had almost all gathered there in the evening.
"Old Marquis, you have to persuade us. How can we allow a person of unknown origin to be included in the Zhao family's genealogy?" One of the elders, Zhao Changtian, couldn't wait to speak after seeing Old Marquis Zhao and Zhao Anping sitting down.
Lord Zhao was speechless. Although his daughter was his, she was no longer his. He really had no right to control the eldest princess of a country.
Since the old Marquis Zhao Changyou was silent, Zhao Anping was even more afraid to speak nonsense. He could only adjust the atmosphere, "Everyone, have some tea, have some tea!"
"Old Marquis," the clan elder said, emphasizing his tone when he saw that Zhao Changyou did not respond.
Zhao Changyou wasn't a good-tempered person either. He slammed the teacup down on the table and said, "Zhao Changtian, elder, what do you want me to say?"
"I say that what the princess did is against the rules." The elder named Zhao Changtian said it again with confidence.
Zhao Changyou looked around at the people sitting around him and sneered, "Do all of you here think so, Zhao Changtian clan elder?"
Everyone present was silent. The fact that they were sitting here spoke volumes.
"If you all think this way, go back and bang your heads against the wall! If you want me to say anything, I'll just say it's none of your business."
Zhao Changyou has never been manipulated by anyone except the emperor over the years. If he wants to be polite to others, he is the gentle marquis. If he doesn't want to be polite to others, then he can't care so much.
Everyone at the scene was a little confused by this sudden change. They were just discussing why Lord Zhao suddenly went berserk?
The elder of the Zhao Changtian clan almost fainted from anger, "Zhao Changyou you..."
Zhao Changyou ignored the elders of the Tian clan. Instead, he looked at the people present and said seriously, "Although the eldest princess is my daughter, she is first and foremost the eldest princess. The Zhao in her name is not the Zhao of Zhao Changyou, but the Zhao of Zhao Lingmeng.
Her ancestral hall was newly opened for her by the Emperor, not the Zhao family of our Wu'an Marquisate. Don't get too involved. The eldest princess of the royal family is not someone you can control. She can let anyone into her ancestral hall if she wants. Don't take yourself too seriously.
After Zhao Changyou finished his outburst, he left immediately. He was already old now, so he didn't bother to pay attention to those who used chicken feathers as a token of authority.
Seeing his old father leave, Zhao Anping could only smile and comfort him, "Uncles, please stay and have dinner before you go back!"
