Chapter 173 Family Recognition Banquet

Sun Jiaxing's disappointment was about to overflow. He saw that the mother and son would be separated soon, but his mother not only had no warmth, but also tried her best to plan for her two younger brothers. No matter what, it would become a bargaining chip for her to threaten him.

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely say hello to the local county magistrate before I leave." Sun Jiaxing said with a sullen face.

Old lady Sun was relieved to hear this, and then said: "I know that you have a close relationship with that scholar surnamed Gu, but no matter how close you are, you are still an outsider. Only your two younger brothers are your brothers. Even if you break your bones, you are still connected..."

Sun Jiaxing always heard these words, but he never felt so annoyed as he did at this moment. He regarded his younger brothers as his closest relatives. Did his younger brothers respect him as the eldest brother?

The Gu family met Old Lady Sun the next day.

Perhaps because of Sun Jiaxing's guarantee, Old Lady Sun behaved normally from beginning to end. Except for getting up early and leaving the table because of a headache, she was not much different from the old ladies of ordinary wealthy families.

The reason why the Gu family stayed in Nanlin Mansion was not only to reunite with Sun Jiaxing, but also because of a major event related to Niu Niu.

Both Sun Jiaxing and his wife and Gu Mingda and their wife loved Niu Niu to the core, so the ceremony of intimacy would not be too simple, as they were afraid of wronging Niu Niu.

The ingredients for the banquet were prepared early, and it was unknown where Sun Jiaxing got them from. Everything flying in the sky and swimming in the sea was gathered together by him for this banquet.

Not only did the mansion entertain the wealthy families in Nanlin County, but it also set up a porridge stall outside the city to provide relief to the poor, as a blessing for Niu Niu.

The poor families came with their families to get porridge. They didn't know what it meant to recognize their relatives, but they only knew that they could get a bite to eat, so they kept saying auspicious words.

However, the dozens of tables of guests in the mansion knew more about the matter, and there were rumors flying everywhere.

"The Sun family is really particular about adopting a godparent. I don't know what kind of god-child that child is that worthy of such attention."

"I heard that she is a six-year-old girl."

"It's just a girl? Many families don't have such a grand marriage. This girl is so lucky."

"She is indeed lucky. Her biological father is a juren, and now her godfather is a bangguan. No matter how you look at it, this child has a very good life."

"In fact, her biological father is not a juren. It is said that she is an adopted child."

"What? Being adopted and having a juren father, this child, is she born lucky?"

Most people said auspicious words, and some even wanted to hold the child to get some luck, but some people said sarcastic words.

"If she was really lucky, she wouldn't have been abandoned by her parents."

"Maybe she was kidnapped?"

"Whether she was kidnapped or abandoned by her parents, she doesn't look lucky."

"It is said that the Sun family recognized her because this child is a good child. Her adoptive mother's family has many children and grandchildren. Madam Sun hugged her and she became pregnant."

This person said this, intending to say that the Sun family recognized her out of utilitarianism, but he didn't expect that several ladies who had not been pregnant for many years at the table would have thoughts instead.

Li didn't understand why, and before she finished her meal, a bunch of officials and rich ladies ran over, vying to hug Niu Niu.

"Oh, this child is so cute, I can't wait to take her home."

"Yes, yes, you are still lucky, with both sons and daughters. Who in the whole Nanlin County doesn't envy you."

A group of people surrounded Li and Zhang Yunniang, and Niu Niu became a hot commodity, and everyone rushed to hug her.

But they were all so proud that they didn't make their words clear. They could only show that they loved Niu Niu very much.

Since they all showed their love, they naturally had to express it.

After Niu Niu was held by a group of women, her body was full of things. Zhang Yunniang held her in her arms and felt that the child was several pounds heavier.

A woman who was eager to have a child put a pair of heavy gold bracelets on Niu Niu's wrists, and Niu Niu's hands were almost unable to lift up.

"Our Niu Niu is so lovable." Liu Xiaoru said happily on the side, and no one noticed anything wrong.

And the group of wives who had held Niu Niu were also very happy, and they even compared themselves with each other.

"The lucky doll smiled at me." The rich lady said this, but she was thinking that she would definitely give birth to a big fat boy next year.

"I also kissed the lucky doll." The lady who said this, she took advantage of Niu Niu's inattention and kissed the little girl hard on the face, and then hung a big gold lock on Niu Niu's neck.

"I'm still awesome. The lucky doll said she likes me." The rich lady who looked a bit like Zhang Yunniang said proudly.

Several people looked at each other, and then thought that each family might help each other, so they all changed their words and said, "All good, all good, the lucky dolls like us."

"Ugh."

Hearing this voice, several people immediately surrounded the rich lady who looked like Zhang Yunniang, all with surprise on their faces: "Are you pregnant? So soon?"

The rich lady smiled shyly and said, "I don't know. It stands to reason that my menstruation will come in two days. I just hope that this time I can get what I want."

The month is too early, and even if you go to the clinic now, you may not be able to diagnose the pregnancy sign.

But these ladies seemed to see hope in an instant.

They look glorious in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, only they know the various sufferings they have suffered from not getting pregnant for many years.

Early in the morning on the third day after the grand family recognition banquet at the Sun Mansion, the luggage of the two families were all loaded onto the carriage.

"Master, it's too early, the old lady hasn't gotten up yet." The old nanny said to Sun Jiaxing standing in the yard with an apologetic look on her face.

Sun Jiaxing looked into the house with a cold face. It was pitch black inside, and there was no movement at all.

He knew that his mother was angry with him, angry that he went to the county magistrate to say hello, not to take care of them, but to say that if the two brothers committed a crime, they must be severely punished.

Not only that, Sun Jiaxing also went to the clan leader and asked the clan members to persuade the two brothers.

Old lady Sun was lying on the bed with her eyes open, waiting for her son to come in and apologize to her.

But Sun Jiaxing just knelt down, kowtowed in the yard, and then turned and left.

The old nanny looked at Sun Jiaxing's back as he left, and her heart was very uneasy. She had followed the old lady all her life, and felt that the old lady had probably miscalculated this time. By doing this, she would only push her most promising son further and further away.

But the old lady still didn't think anything was wrong. When she heard that her son just kowtowed and left, she was so angry that she threw the pillow to the ground.

"Unfilial thing! It's better not to have given birth to this son!" Old Lady Sun said viciously.

When the nanny heard this, she looked at her nose and thought to herself that if the old lady really hadn't given birth to the eldest master, I'm afraid the Sun family would have fallen long ago.
