Huang Xu arched his hand and said: "The boy and the general are from their own family, and they are also surnamed Huang, and their single name is a Xuzi. ”

"What do you say your name is?" Hearing this, Huang Zhong suddenly grabbed Huang Xu's shoulders, looking quite excited.

The corners of Liu Chan's mouth on the side hooked, and there was not the slightest doubt in his eyes, as if Huang Zhong was like this, he had expected it a long time ago.

Huang Zhong is over sixty years old, and now he has no relatives and no reason.

But in his early years, Huang Zhong also had a son.

It's just that Huang Zhong died of illness when he was in his prime.

And Huang Zhong's son who died of illness in his early years was named Huang Xu, which has the same pronunciation as Huang Xu's name, but the name is different.

lost his son in the prime of life, and still had nothing to show in his old age, and when he met a person with the same name and surname as his son who died early, Huang Zhong's mood can be imagined.

"Huang Xu? Huang Xu? Could it be that God has pity on me Huang Zhong? Affirmed by Huang Xu again, Huang Zhong couldn't help but be even more surprised.

Liu Chan pretended not to know and asked, "General Huang, why are you so excited?" ”

Huang Zhong sighed and said: "You see that the old man is alone now, in fact, the old man also had a son in his early years, but unfortunately he was weak and died of illness for more than 30 years." My son who died early also happens to be called Huang Xu. ”

"Is that so?" Lin Xiao was shocked when he heard this, and immediately smiled: "It seems that Huang Xu and the general are really fateful, in my opinion, Huang Xu, you don't want to apprentice, General Huang has no children under his knees, you just worship General Huang as your father-in-law." ”

Huang Xu glanced at Liu Chan, and also felt that Liu Chan seemed to have known about this matter a long time ago, otherwise he would not have been so sure that Huang Zhong would accept him as an apprentice before.

Huang Zhong on the side listened to Lin Xiao's words, his eyes lit up, and he pulled Huang Xu and said, "Good boy, where are you from, and is there anyone else in the family?" ”

Huang Xu arched his hand and said: "In the Zhijiang people of Xiannan County, three years ago, Cao Ren and Zhou Yu fought for Nan County, my family was killed by evil officials, I became a living mouth in Shiren's Mansion because of revenge and murder, and then the young master found out that Shiren was rebelling, and I was rescued by the young master, and now I follow the young master." ”

Huang Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, looked at Huang Xu and asked, "Since you don't have a family, are you willing to worship me as your father?" ”

"This ......" Huang Xu looked at Liu Chan with a hesitant expression.

Now his life belongs to Liu Chan, and whether he recognizes Huang Zhong as his father depends on whether Liu Chan agrees or not.

Seeing Huang Xu's gaze, Liu Chan's eyes widened, and he scolded: "Look at what I do, this is your big business, I can't make decisions for you, you can decide for yourself!" ”

Huang Xu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and bowed to Huang Zhong and said, "The child has seen his father-in-law!" ”

Huang Zhong hurriedly picked up Huang Xu and asked, "Good boy, I don't want to accept you as a righteous son, but an adopted son, are you still willing?" ”

"Adopted son?" Huang Xu was shocked when he heard this: "The kid has no talent and no virtue, how can he be worthy of the general's favor." ”

There is a big difference between a righteous son and an adopted son, and it is not the same.

The righteous son belongs to the godparents, and from ancient times to the present, there is no right to inherit.

The adopted son is different, the adopted son has been recognized by the law since ancient times, and the adopted son has the right of inheritance.

Huang Zhong wants to accept Huang Xu as his adopted son, and his meaning is already very clear, and he wants Huang Xu to inherit his family business in the future and inherit the family line for him.

With such a great grace, Huang Xu naturally refused to accept it.

Seeing that Huang Xu refused to agree, Huang Zhong sighed and said: "Since ancient times, it seems that people like us who practice martial arts have joined the army to fight, isn't it just to seal their wives and sons, and worship the marquis?" The old man is over sixty years old, alone, and has no pursuit of these anymore, he just hopes to be able to help the boss while his body is still strong.

But now that I have met you, it is different, you have the same name as my deceased son, which is enough to prove our fate. If you are willing, you will be able to inherit the old man's family business in the future, and assist the old man to complete the important task of reviving the Han Dynasty. ”

Huang Zhong said that, and his face was full of grief.

Huang Xu couldn't bear it when he saw this, so he had to say: "If the general wants to do this, I will agree." ”

"Good, good!" Huang Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, said three good words in a row, pulled Huang Xu up and said: "Accept you as an adopted son, this matter must not be sloppy, you need to report to the lord first, and then invite you to the mansion with courtesy, set up a banquet with wine, and notify your colleagues." Don't be busy with the others, you can accompany me to meet the lord first, please explain this matter. ”

Originally, Huang Zhong adopted his son and had nothing to do with Liu Bei, but who called Huang Zhong a general and Liu Bei's subordinate? In this way, this matter must be reported to Liu Bei and his permission must be obtained.

Because Huang Zhong is likely to get the title in the future, after Huang Zhong's death, if there is a queen, the title will be inherited, and if Huang Zhong has no queen, he will be taken back by the imperial court.

If Huang Zhong hid the matter of accepting Huang Xu as an adopted son, Liu Bei didn't know that he had a son, and the title would naturally not fall on Huang Xu.

The group then went to the governor's mansion.

At this moment, Liu Bei was dealing with government affairs in the study, and when he heard that Huang Zhong was coming, Liu Bei got up to greet him: "Is there anything wrong with Han Sheng?" ”

Huang Zhong arched his hand and said straight to the point: "Lord, I have something to ask for here." ”

"Well, you say!"

"The last general is over sixty years old, and now he is still alone, with no children under his knees, and today the old man met a child, so he wants to accept him as an adopted son, and please ask the lord for permission."

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this: "This is a good thing, let him inherit the general's family business in the future, so that the general will have a queen!" Where are the others now, bring them to me! ”

"No!" Huang Zhong went out of the room to bring Huang Xu in.

Liu Bei looked at Liu Chan, who came with Huang Zhong, and asked, "Adou, why did you come here with Han Sheng, is there anything wrong?" ”

Liu Chan arched his hand and smiled: "Father, the adopted son that General Huang wants to adopt, I still found it for him." ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei is also a thoughtful person, and when he heard this, he groaned: "You found it for him, you just came to Yizhou not long ago, and the adopted son you found for General Huang is definitely not from Yizhou." It should be someone from Jingzhou who came with you, isn't it Huang Xu? ”

"Father is wise!" Liu Chan praised him.

Now Lin Yuan, Deng Ai, Huang Xu and others all live in the state pastor's mansion, and they follow Liu Chan every day, and Liu Bei naturally understands these people in detail.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Huang Xu is very talented, and as Han Sheng's adopted son, he will not insult Han Sheng's reputation!" Hey, the old general has been lonely for half his life, and now he finally has a queen. ”

"I've seen the lord!" After a while, Huang Zhong also walked into the hall with Huang Xu, and the two bowed to Liu Bei, thinking that when they came outside, Huang Zhong should have taught Huang Xu etiquette.

Liu Bei sat back in his seat, and said with his hands: "Two of you, please get up!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Liu Bei looked at Huang Zhong and said: "Han Sheng, it's really not a secret, I also know this son, he has been with my son before, and now he also lives in the state pastor's mansion, his qualifications are not bad, and now you are willing to adopt him as an adopted son, it is very good."

In this way, I will choose a day for Huang Xu to move out of the state pastoral mansion, find another place to live, and then invite Lai Min to be the ceremonial supervisor for you, and then choose a good day and an auspicious day to take him to the mansion. ”
