Rebirth: Charming Qingluo - C285 The Continuation of Zheng Family
When he heard that Qingluo had adopted the An Marquis as her foster father and even written it onto the Zhao Family’s family tree, Zheng Mingrui’s head started to spin. He felt that his entire person was not well, but he felt that he had no place to speak.
Back then, his laissez-faire with the Madame Zheng had caused an irreparable harm to Qingluo. If Qingluo had wanted to abandon the Zheng Family, he also had nothing to say.
“Father, since my surname is Zheng, I’m still the daughter of the Zheng family. Although I’m in the family tree of the Hou family, I haven’t been chosen from the family tree. I’m only carrying two families on my shoulder.”
“Since Madam Hou lost her daughter, it’s very pitiful. Furthermore, Madam Hou and I have such a good relationship. She always feels that I’m like her daughter, so what if I fulfill my wish of being a mother?”
Master Zheng did not expect Qingluo to explain to him. Although Qingluo and Zheng Mansion’s relationship had eased when his mother passed away, Master Zheng also did not expect Qingluo to forgive him completely.
Thus, when he heard that she had entered the family tree of the Marquis of An, he did not feel that he had misheard her by a fluke. That was why he felt so pained in his heart.
“Father, no matter what happened in the past, it is all in the past now. My surname is Zheng, this can’t change the fact that I can’t forget the past just because I entered into someone’s family tree. No matter what, you are my father, and I am your daughter.”
Qingluo personally poured a cup of tea and handed it over to her father. Looking at the wrinkles on Master Zheng’s forehead, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Master Zheng was not even forty years old. To men, he was at the prime of his life, but he already looked somewhat haggard.
After knowing that he had been wronged before, he had taken revenge on everyone for himself. However, if he was a competent father, then he had let the first-in-line girl suffer so much suffering and suffering since she was young.
“Right now, you’re the only one left in the mansion. Why don’t you find another one that is of equal status? With your current official position and family background, it won’t be difficult to find someone who can fulfill your wish.”
Although Madame Zheng was still living in the manor, she was already dead in her name and was firmly restricted. If it wasn’t for her two daughters, Madame Zheng would have disappeared a long time ago. It had to be said that the Zheng Family was still magnanimous and did not have any tricks to make her disappear.
“Sigh, at this age, why are you still looking for someone? Don’t miss the youth of others. I’m fine by myself, no one is causing trouble for myself. I’m very at ease, let’s do it this way.”
Master Zheng is always afraid of being bitten by snakes.
“Father, you can’t be biased. There aren’t many girls like that in the world. There are a lot of good girls, but this time, the few of us will help you find a good person.”
“In addition, you need to have confidence in yourself. You’re still in the middle of your new year, and you haven’t even spent half your life in the past. How can you just give up like this? A beautiful life is not far away, and as long as you want, it will come.”
Qingluo comforted Master Zheng. Ever since she let go of the knot in his heart, she realized that communicating with Master Zheng was not that difficult.
“That’s right, father-in-law, your age is just right for me. Qingluo and I will help you keep an eye on each other, and we will definitely find a wife for you. As for your status, let’s make an equal wife.”
“Wife is a discussion with an official wife, one level higher than the first wife. It doesn’t affect the second wife in your backyard, so I don’t think that you and the new wife will feel awkward.” Luo Qingqi also helped Qing Luo to advise the Master Zheng and had even thought things through for him.
As a man, although he looked down on Master Zheng, but he could understand it. In the imperial court, there were many men who did not bother with household chores, but the Master Zheng had done it to the extreme.
“Thank you Prince Yi, there’s no need for you and Qingluo to worry about me, this is really good for me.” Zheng Mingrui decided not to look for her anymore. She just did not expect her daughter’s decision to be so resolute.
Not even two days had passed, and Zheng Qingjiao had also returned to her residence. Naturally, it was another emotional attack, and the current Zheng Qingjiao was already pregnant.
Then, it was Zheng Qingyan’s consecutive family letters, filled with guilt and sadness that she wasn’t serving beside his father, as well as her worry and longing for his father’s existence. All of these things made Master Zheng retreat without a fight.
After many selections and discussions with Luo Qingqi, Qingluo had finally decided to help Master Zheng choose Pang Han Lin and the other two women to take over as servants of his Han Lin Institute.
Because during his term of office, Master Zheng’s official review and performance evaluation were of the superior class, he was promoted to the third rank, the Imperial Censor. And Pang Hanlin, who took over his position, was also the former Weir Prefecture who returned to the capital from Weir Prefecture to report on his work, General Shi.
Being a righteous man and being a clean and honest man, he would return to the capital after three terms of official history. His future prospects were very promising, and because his third daughter had been brought up to 21 in her filial life twice, it was already difficult to find a suitable husband for her.
“Father, this girl is gentle, beautiful and straightforward. Although she has been left at home due to filial piety, she is not at all dispirited or haggard. Her mother is not in very good health, so she has always been helping her mother manage the situation.”
“The house is well groomed and a capable person. Furthermore, he is quite proficient in the art of zither, chess and painting, and is also a rare talented girl. If it wasn’t for his age, someone really would have come knocking on the door to ask for her hand in marriage.”
Although Master Zheng held an indifferent attitude towards his next marriage, he was still unable to endure his daughters’ familial love. It was not because he was being hypocritical, it was because he was afraid.
Right now, to be able to obtain Qingluo’s forgiveness was already a great surprise in his life. He didn’t want to have any regrets that he couldn’t make up for later in his life.
“Don’t worry, father. We’ve already asked around for you. She really is a good girl.” Qingjiao had also helped to look into the matter. Just like Qingluo, she also felt that this person was a good match.
Even though her mother was trapped in the manor, she still felt uncomfortable. However, those who did wrong would always be punished, and she didn’t want her father to lose his happiness.
“If Father is not dissatisfied, then Qingluo and I will help you choose a date.” Even though she was an equal wife, she should have at least one thing. After all, she was a girl who had never left the pavilion before.
On the other hand, his two daughters in the capital had helped him, this father, to arrange a marriage. This was something that could not be imagined in other people’s houses.
However, Zheng Mansion did not have any elders, so Qing Luo and Qing Jiao naturally took on this responsibility.
He was actually pregnant. Seeing that his two daughters had a body, the Master Zheng was very happy, “This one and the other one are both carrying bodies, why are you still running towards me? Don’t even think about it, what are you even paying attention to?”
“Father, we are already here. You don’t have to say anymore. We can’t all go to the capital. Please kick me out again.” Zheng Qingyan was acting coquettishly towards her father, because she had been closest to the Master Zheng since she was young.
She started to act coquettishly towards the Master Zheng, and didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Qingluo looked at him with envy and lost him, and she really couldn’t find him again.
It was only when the marriage was over and Master Zheng was able to hold the beauty that he finally finished his dream and hugged his new wife. Master Zheng told her about his terrible life.
Those regrets and dejection made his heart heavy, and he did not hide the fact that he had a successor in the backyard. After what happened with Qingluo, he wanted to learn to take care of his family and learn to see where he had come from.
The past cannot represent everything, not to mention that you were deceived. Fortunately, nothing happened to Qingluo, although you did the wrong thing, but it is fortunate that you have the chance to correct it.
“With me accompanying you in the future, I definitely won’t let you make the same mistake again. I guarantee that I will become a qualified wife and mother.”
Qingluo hadn’t chosen the wrong person. As for everything else, she would have to leave it for later. However, she couldn’t miss out on the warmth of the Spring Festival Gala.
When Qing Jiao gave birth to her first son, Master Zheng’s wife also had a body. Master Zheng’s surprise was a little too big, he never thought that he would have another child.
Initially, he thought having these three daughters would be enough. However, because he didn’t have any expectations in his heart, when this joyous news reached him, he almost couldn’t take it anymore. Qingluo and QingJiao even came back to visit frequently.
After all, this little mother of hers who was no older than a few years old was pregnant with her own sister-in-law. They were the same as her father, both looking forward to his arrival.
Finally, in October, she gave birth to the Zheng Family’s future. A chubby boy said, “It’s a young master. Congratulations, old master. A young master. Mother and son are safe!”
Hearing that his mother and son were safe, both the Qingluo sisters and the Master Zheng let out a sigh of relief. Master Zheng’s legs were so weak that he could barely stand.
“Come, let me take a look at the lord. Young master, how handsome are you? If you grow up, you have to be a handsome young man …” The midwives washed the children clean and wrapped them up before bringing them out for the Master Zheng to see.
The endless auspicious words in his mouth were like honey. In fact, like the other newborn children, the child’s face was slightly red and wrinkled. It was impossible to tell that he was handsome, but he was always willing to listen to good words.
“That’s right. Look at how handsome this child is. Father, look quickly. His nose and mouth even resemble yours.” Qing Jiao’s hands were quick as she first carried the child to her father.
Master Zheng looked at the child in front of him. This child was her own son.
“Good, good, very good.” He raised his hand to wipe his eyes. Regardless of whether he was excited or happy, it was still not a dream.
“Honolulu, reward!” sandalwood had always been by his midwife’s side, in case his child made a mistake. There were many other people around Master Zheng, but only she had always been by his side.
When she reached her age, she did not release them, but kept them by herself. Therefore, the sisters Qing Luo and the others also treated her with great respect.
The midwife happily accepted it, and after spitting out a bunch of pleasant words from her mouth, she followed the sandalwood out of the mansion. She also invited them to come the next day when they were going to wash up.
“I’m going to see your mother.” Thinking about the woman who gave him hope, Master Zheng felt a tinge of sweetness in her heart. It was all thanks to her daughters’ concern that she gained a new choice and a new life. Zheng Mansion also gained a new continuation, a new hope.
