Chapter 204 Adopting Xiaoqi
After finalizing the date for Chu Changsheng's medical consultation, Princess Meng had dinner at the Song family, met her daughter-in-law, and went back happily.

Song Qingya was confused the whole time. She was ready to give up, but who knew that things would turn out differently? The Prince of Chu's Mansion would soon find a good day to come to the Song family to propose marriage.

So in the end, she still had to marry Chu Changsheng, and this time, her parents made the decision for her, which seemed as unreal as a dream.

The sense of fate is a bit too strong. If she had known, she would not have gone to worship Buddha.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is a custom to return to one’s parents’ home to pay New Year’s greeting

The Song family welcomed Prince Ronnie and his uncle early in the morning. If it weren't for the rebellion of the Princess and Prince Qing on the 30th, they would have come to the Song family to celebrate the New Year in the evening.

Later, he was protected and guarded by people from the imperial court, so he was unable to come. It was still blocked on the first day of the Lunar New Year and was not opened until the second day.

Then all the people from the Great Xia Kingdom came to the Song family, and except for the second branch of the Song family, everyone else was free, so they were the ones to receive them.

The second branch of the Song family put on new clothes early and, led by Father Song, took some New Year greetings and headed towards the Ye family next door.

The Ye family's yard and the Song family's yard were sealed off, and a separate gate was opened.

When the Song family arrived, Ye Xiaoxing had already been waiting at the gate. When he saw them coming, he hurried down the steps and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, Happy New Year, and may everything go well for you."

Ye Xiaoxing couldn't say any more, and it was embarrassing.

Father Song also bowed repeatedly. Anyway, he was not embarrassed at all. "Haha, happy new year, big brother. May everything go well with you. Come on, kids, wish your uncle a happy new year."

"Happy New Year, uncle. I wish you good health and all the best." These congratulations were spoken in unison and were easy to remember. I don't know if they were discussed beforehand by the six siblings.

But Ye Xiaoxing was very moved that the Song family did not let go of their past grudges. He had been to the Song family before, but it was not until today that these children called him uncle.

The word "uncle" immediately made Ye Xiaoxing's eyes red. "Okay, everyone is happy, everyone is happy. This is the red envelope your uncle gives you."

The Ye family was a merchant family and they were under a lot of pressure when they first arrived in the capital. Even though they could rely on the Song family, they started to mess up their business as soon as they arrived.

Before the New Year, I took some defective products from fine factories to the streets to resell them, such as blue and white porcelain, down fabrics, etc., and made a lot of money.

The idea came from Grandpa Ye. Ye Xiaoxing and his wife set up the stall from morning till night, and as a result, they now have money.

There was no shortage of red envelopes for the New Year, which made Ye Xiaoxing regain some confidence.

Ye Xiaoxing welcomed the Song family into the house. In the small courtyard of the house, the old couple and two old servants lived in the main courtyard, and Ye Xiaoxing's family lived in the back courtyard.

As soon as everyone entered the door, they smelled the strong aroma of food. It was the Jiangnan snacks that Song Niang was most familiar with. She guessed that they were all the ones she loved to eat when she was a child.

After being married for many years, Song Niang was extremely moved when she returned to her parents' home for the first time to celebrate the New Year. She couldn't stop crying. Fortunately, everything was in time and her parents were still alive.
Old Mrs. Ye cooked herself, with two old servants helping her, but the main person in charge was Ye Xiaoxing's wife, who was the truly capable one.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back." Although they see each other every day now, Song Niang feels that this moment still has a different feeling and is very meaningful.

"Okay, okay, old man, go and get some snacks for my daughter and son-in-law, and don't mistreat my grandson."

In the kitchen, the old lady drove the old man out.

In the past, they had slaves and maids, but they always felt empty without their daughter around. Now, even though they have to do the work themselves, the old couple feel extremely secure and happy.

"Come on, come on, grandma has made some delicious food for you." Grandpa Ye was like a naughty old boy. The last time Song Niang saw him so happy was when she was a child, and her father was still very young at that time.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, her backer had grown old, which made people feel jealous.

"It's New Year's Day, why are you dropping golden beans? Let me hug my darling grandson." Grandpa Ye put down the snacks in his hand and took Xiaoqi from Song Niang's arms.

The child has grown up a lot, and is very cute. I heard that he suffered a lot when he was born, but now he is well. He is a blessed child. Grandpa Ye smiled and said, "Oh, our little Qi has grown up so well. Here, this is the New Year's money from grandpa." A thick red envelope was stuffed into the swaddling clothes.

Then, grandpa saw Xiaoqi laughing, "Haha, he is a money-loving kid." It's so funny that such a young child seems to know money.

The old and the young were particularly happy and the couple looked very warm. Mother Song and Father Song looked at each other and seemed to have made some decision, and their eyes became more determined.

After grandma and Ye Xiaoxing's wife arrived, everyone greeted each other, gave red envelopes, ate snacks and chatted.

“After the New Year, when order is restored in Jiangnan, Xiaoxin will go back to manage the Ye family’s business. With Xiaoxing’s wife accompanying him this time, there shouldn’t be any problems.

I don't expect them to be too radical. As long as they can maintain the status quo, preserve the Ye family's ancestral business, and provide some help to Wanwan, that will be enough."

Everyone can see that Song Qingwan's future achievements are limitless, and it is an honor for them to be able to help.

"Have you decided? Actually, it's okay for big brother to stay in Beijing. It's close and we can take care of him." Father Song was just speaking objectively.

"I've decided. This time I will work hard and down to earth, and live up to my parents' cultivation. If I really make a fortune, I will leave 70% to Qiu Niang."

Ye Xiaoxing's eyes were full of determination. The old man said that as long as the interests were divided well, his mind would not be distracted, and he would be able to focus on business and revitalize the Ye family.

"This is a good thing, so I wish big brother success. Of course, if you have any problems, you can always contact the Song family." This was the promise made by Song's father.

“Well, it’s enough to have a brother-in-law.” His identity was no longer embarrassing. He was still the adopted son of the Ye family. In the future, he would serve the Ye family and repay their kindness.

The two men talked for a long time, and finally, Father Song told them the couple's decision.

"Mom and Dad, Qiu Niang and I have discussed that Xiao Qi will be adopted into the Ye family and take on the Ye surname, so that he can be your care.

However, the issues of food, accommodation and education are still with us for the time being. When Xiaoqi grows up and leaves, he will come to pay his respects every day."

In fact, it was just a change of surname, which had little impact on Xiaoqi and the Song family, but it was of extraordinary significance to the Ye family.

This means that the Ye family's bloodline has truly been inherited.

"Really?! But, have you discussed this with Old Song and the others? Do you really want Xiao Qi to take the surname Ye?"

The old man was very excited, and the old lady was very moved.

"I agree. Don't worry, Dad and Mom." The Song family has many descendants, so of course no one has any objections.

Song Qingwan looked at Xiaoqi quietly. The boy was very happy holding the red envelope. There was nothing to disagree with.

"Okay, okay, when will the ceremony be held? Have you given him a name?" He will be Ye Xiaoqi from now on. The old man thinks this kid is adorable no matter how he looks at him. He will have to be tied to his belt every day in the future.

"We can find a nearby birthday and you can choose the name."

Song Niang tried so hard to give birth to a child, but her biggest purpose was actually to have one adopted by the Ye family. She never said it before, but Song Dad understood it.

They are all his offspring anyway, just with a different surname.

"Then, let's call him Ye Qingkang. He will be of the same generation as his brothers and sisters, and he will grow up healthy in the future."

Xiao Qiye Qingkang, this is how it came to be~
