Chapter 184 Zhang Mansion Concubine 3
"Chunxi, you really gave birth to a good son for me." Zhang Weijia hugged Jiang Chunxi immediately when he saw her.
"Alright, let me go," Jiang Chunxi pushed Zhang Weijia, "Don't you see where we are? Let me go!"
Jiang Chunxi and Zhang Weijia met at a rockery in the garden. After all, Zhang Weijia's current status was no longer the same, so it would be inconvenient for her to go to the yard where he lived to find him.
So Jiang Chunxi and Zhang Weijia haven't had that for a long time, and they rarely meet. In the past few months, they have only secretly met two or three times in the garden.
"I won't let go," Zhang Weijia's hands on Jiang Chunxi became dishonest, "We haven't seen each other for so long, and there's no such thing, don't you miss me?"
"Chunxi, didn't you say you wanted to have more children? Yaozu is already one year old, let's quickly give him a younger brother!" As soon as the words fell, Zhang Weijia couldn't wait to cover Jiang Chunxi's mouth.
Jiang Chunxi naturally would not refuse Zhang Weijia's request for sex. After all, she came out to see Zhang Weijia tonight to borrow sperm. She planned to give birth to twin sons this time and then not have any more children.
After all, three sons are enough.
Time quickly came to a year later. When Jiang Chunxi gave birth to twin children, Zhang Weijia went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. The good news that he passed the examination and became a second-class Jinshi also spread back to the Zhang family in Jiangnan.
Also brought back was the good news that Zhang Weijia was favored by the then Grand Marshal and the emperor was planning to marry his daughter to Zhang Weijia.
Of course he married a concubine's daughter.
However, the Grand Marshal was a high-ranking official in the imperial court, so even if he married a concubine's daughter, Zhang Weijia was marrying above his station.
Then the timeline suddenly came to fifteen years later as if the shortcut key was pressed.
Jiang Chunxi's eldest son is already sixteen years old, and he just happened to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar this year.
She is a person with cheats. After knowing that her son inherited Zhang Weijia's talent for studying, she naturally wanted to supplement his brain. The good things in the system mall are pills for improving IQ. Jiang Chunxi did not hesitate to buy two pills.
As for why there were two pills instead of three, it was naturally because the youngest of the twin sons was interested in business. He was very good at using an abacus when he was only four years old. He was destined to have a talent for business, so there was naturally no need to waste pills.
It is worth mentioning here that Jiang Chunxi had long been changed from a lowly person to a good one, and was promoted to a noble concubine, becoming the first person in Zhang Weijia's backyard.
There's nothing to be done about it. She was pregnant and gave birth to very smart sons. Although she was a concubine, all the servants in the Zhang Mansion treated her as the next mistress of the house.
After Jiang Chunxi gave birth to twins, none of Zhang Weiwang's concubines in the backyard became pregnant again.
Zhang Weiwang, his wife, and Mr. Zhang didn't think much about this. The three of them agreed that Zhang Weiwang was lucky to have three good sons, so his luck with offspring was naturally poor. He couldn't have all the benefits. If he had ten or eight sons, all of them were very smart, that would be unfair! He wasn't afraid of losing his luck.
It is worth mentioning here that Jiang Chunxi's second son also passed the exam and ranked first. He only needs to pass the exam to become a juren like his brother, then he can go to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination held every three years.
On this day, Mr. Zhang received a letter from his sixth son in the capital, so he called his eldest son to come to Madam Zhang's courtyard.
With a father-in-law who is a military commander, and the Cheng family's connections in the capital, Zhang Weijia's career has been very smooth over the years. In just over a decade, he has climbed to the position of a second-rank official.
"What do you think about your sixth brother wanting to adopt Yaozu?" Mr. Zhang looked at his eldest son and said, "I know you will be reluctant to let him go. After all, Yaozu, like his eldest brother, will not be a common person in the future. But you can't write two surnames with one stroke. Even if Yaozu is adopted by his sixth uncle, he is still a descendant of the Zhang family and your son. At most, he will just change the name of his biological father to you."
Zhang Yaozu is Jiang Chunxi's second son.
Zhang Weiwang frowned and found it difficult to make up his mind. After all, who would be willing to give away his outstanding son for adoption?
However, if I adopt my son to my sixth brother, the benefits will be obvious. In the future, my son will be able to inherit my sixth brother's family business, and everything that my sixth brother has worked hard for will be given to my son in the future.
"I don't agree," Mrs. Zhang said excitedly, "Why should I give my grandson to someone else? In short, I don't agree to it no matter what."
Mrs. Zhang treasures her three grandsons very much and values them more than her own life, so if she agrees to give her grandsons away for adoption, wouldn't that be the same as asking for her own life?
"You are really short-sighted," Mr. Zhang rolled his eyes at his wife, "You are Weijia's stepmother, so even if Yaozu is adopted by Weijia, you are still Yaozu's grandmother, and you don't need to change your name like Weiwang, the biological father."
If Yaozu was adopted by the sixth son, he would have to call his biological father "uncle".
Unlike him and his wife, even if the grandson is adopted by the sixth son, there is no need to change the way they address him.
"And there's more! Weijia is now a second-rank official. With his ability, it won't be a problem for him to become a first-rank official in the future. If Yaozu adopts him, then everything Weijia has worked hard for in the officialdom will be inherited by Yaozu. How great is the benefit? Don't you have any idea of it?"
"Or do you want to see Weijia's hard-earned fortune go to others at a low price? After all, Weijia has many half-brothers. Believe it or not, if the news of Weijia's adoption gets out, his half-brothers will fight over it, and they will all be eager to adopt their sons to Weijia."
Mr. Zhang is naturally partial. He has so many sons, and they all gave him so many grandsons, but in Mr. Zhang's eyes, he only has three precious grandsons born to his eldest son.
Therefore, regarding the adoption of his sixth son, Mr. Zhang would definitely not give it to any other grandson.
Even if the sixth son did not specifically ask for Yaozu, Mr. Zhang would have tried his best to adopt Yaozu to his sixth uncle.
Mrs. Zhang was speechless. Although she was reluctant to give her precious grandson to Zhang Weijia, what the master said made a lot of sense.
Anyway, if Zhang Weijia were to adopt the son of another brother, Mrs. Zhang would not be able to accept it at the mere thought of it. Why should such a great advantage be taken away by others?
"Dad, then let's adopt Yaozu to my sixth brother!" Zhang Weiwang said, "It's just a matter of changing the family tree and the name. Even if Yaozu is adopted by my sixth brother, he is still my son."
Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth to say something, but finally closed it.
Mr. Zhang stroked his beard, looked at his son with satisfaction and said, "Fortunately, you are not stupid enough. You haven't inherited your mother's stupidity."
