The letter stated that the address of the class was Shen Mansion, Daji Lane, Mulima Street, Xicheng District, and also included a lotus sign signed by Shen Junru.
Huang Wanzhen's understanding of this era comes from the original owner's memories and the newspapers she occasionally buys.
She didn't know much about the Shen family in Daji Lane, and she would know tomorrow whether they were a mule or a horse.
Thinking of this, Huang Wanzhen decided to go to bed early today to recharge her energy for tomorrow.
But early the next morning, Huang Shuhuai caused trouble.
"Miss, Guiyuan is here to ask you to go to Rongyangtang." Xiulan put the red lacquer tray in her hand on the table.
Huang Wanzhen, who had just finished packing herself, frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Xiulan shook her head, "No."
Huang Wanzhen quickly ate breakfast and arrived at Rongyangtang. She first went to the kitchen to find Huang Dongshi.
"Mom, what kind of medicine is this?"
Mrs. Huang Dong: "The doctor prescribed medicine for your father."
Huang Wanzhen: "Let Xiuzhu watch over us. Let's talk for a moment."
Mrs. Huang then looked up at her daughter. Seeing how she was dressed, she knew that she wanted to go out.
"Xiuzhu, take good care of the medicine pot. When the time comes, take it to the master."
Xiuzhu bowed her head and said, "Yes."
Huang Wanzhen pulled Huang Dongshi to the east wing and said, "Mom, I have an appointment with someone today and I have to go to class. What does my grandfather want to talk to me about?"
Huang Dong wiped her face with a handkerchief and said, "I not only called you, but also your elder sister and Wanqiong."
After a pause, she pursed her lips, as if she had made some kind of decision. "Yesterday afternoon, someone came from the Zheng Mansion. I guess it's related to the Zheng family's marriage."
"Son, what do you think? Tell me so I can make plans for you."
Huang Wanzhen: "To be honest, I want to marry into the Zheng family."
Huang Dongshi: "Your sister..."
Huang Wanzhen raised the hand holding the handkerchief and interrupted Huang Dongshi's words.
"Mom, let me tell you my plan first."
"You only have two children, my sister and I. You are both my flesh and blood. If my sister and I both want to marry into the Zheng family, you will feel guilty towards the remaining one if you help one of them."
"This is what I think. My sister is weak-willed and has no brothers to support her. If she gets married, she will inevitably be bullied by her husband's family. It would be better for her to stay in the mansion and marry a son-in-law."
"It doesn't matter if the man has a good background or not, I only choose the one who is strong and smart."
"The most important thing is to quickly give birth to a big fat boy for our Huang family to inherit the family business."
These words resonated deeply with Huang Dongshi. She wanted a son even more than Old Master Huang and Huang Zhengming did. She was always afraid that her daughter would marry out and leave her without a place to live. Unlike Old Master Huang, she didn't have a son to support her, and unlike Huang Zhengming, she didn't have so many wasteful hobbies to feed her.
She stayed in the house all day, thinking that she didn't even have a son in this life, and that when she died, there would be no one to support her. She felt that her life had been in vain.
A few days ago, when I heard my youngest daughter say that it was not her fault that she couldn't give birth to a son, but that it was Huang Zhengming's problem, she suddenly felt much better and wanted to live a few more years.
"Okay, okay, that's a good idea. We don't want someone of high status, otherwise if we have a child, we won't be able to compete."
"However, if you marry into the Zheng family, you will have to help your sister and nephew more."
Nephew? He's not even here yet, and you're already thinking about it?
"Of course, of course, I will help my sister raise my nephew."
Huang Dongshi nodded seriously, "Your sister can have as many children as you want, and we'll raise them for her. It would be best if she had eight or ten."
Huang Wanzhen: “…”
As long as Huang Wanshu agrees, she has no objection.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go find your grandfather and settle this matter before Wanqiong comes."
After Huang Dong finished speaking, she couldn't wait to walk towards the door.
Huang Wanzhen quickly grabbed her and said, "Mom, Wanqiong is also my grandfather's granddaughter. What if he doesn't agree with my proposal?"
Mrs. Huang was stunned for a moment, then a cold smile appeared on her lips. "If he doesn't agree, then we can split up the family."
"You want to use the Zheng family's marriage to control us? Impossible!"
As she spoke, she patted Huang Wanzhen's hand soothingly and said, "My dowry is enough to recruit two sons-in-law. If your grandfather doesn't agree with your proposal, we will separate. Then I will recruit two good sons-in-law for you and your sister."
"Let's ignore them. I want to see what good will happen to them in the end. Will the Zheng family want a concubine's daughter to be the eldest daughter-in-law?"
Huang Wanzhen said in embarrassment: "Separate the family? Is it possible?"
Huang Dongshi: "I can't care less. Your sister must give me a grandson."
Huang Wanzhen saw how important her grandson was in Huang Dongshi's heart and immediately understood what was going on.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Mrs. Huang Dong looked at Huang Wanzhen with satisfaction, took her hand, and walked towards the main hall.
"Madam, the second young lady would like to have some tea." After serving tea to the two of them, Guiyuan was about to leave.
Huang Dongshi glared at her and called out to her, "Guiyuan, go and tell the old master. He's waiting for me to serve breakfast. If you need anything, tell me right away. Don't let him starve."
Guiyuan was young and had only worked as a shift worker at Rongyang Hall. She had no experience with anything. When Mrs. Huang glared at her and scolded her, she panicked and said, "Madam, wait a moment. I'll go find my grandfather."
After a while, Huang Zhong helped Huang Shuhuai out.
"How's Zhengming? Can he get up?"
Huang Dongshi led Huang Wanzhen to pay her respects before answering, "The doctor said that injuries to the tendons and bones will take at least a few months to heal, and at most a year and a half."
Huang Shuhuai: "How did it get to the point of breaking bones? Didn't I just press it a little?!"
Huang Dong lowered her head and cried, "How can I, a woman, understand these things? Doctors are hired at great expense."
Huang Shuhuai closed his eyes tiredly, "Okay, stop crying, I know it's hard for you too."
Huang Dong wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Dad, it's good that you know how difficult it is for your daughter-in-law."
"My daughter-in-law's biggest regret in this life is that she hasn't been able to give birth to a 'son or half-son' for the Huang family. I thought Wanshu was grown up, and I wanted her to find a son-in-law for our Huang family, which would be considered a half-son. If she could give birth to a boy for our Huang family, I would rest in peace in this life."
Huang Shuhuai's eyes suddenly widened. "Why didn't I know you had this idea before?"
Huang Dongshi cried and said, "Before, I had always hoped that Second Aunt would give birth to a child for the Huang family. Who knew that Zhengming's health would deteriorate to this extent."
"He can't even get up. How can I count on him?"
By the end of his speech, he was already sobbing.
Huang Wanzhen pinched her thigh hard and started crying too.
"Grandfather! If not for others, you should at least think about the incense of our Huang family."
Mrs. Huang Dong nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes, Dad."
"If you don't marry Wanshu, you won't have anyone to worship you in a hundred years."
Huang Shuhuai sighed deeply, "It's not that easy to recruit a son-in-law. Once I bring it up, the clan will definitely let you be adopted. I'm not in good spirits right now, and I don't have the energy to deal with them..."
