The world of film and television begins from childhood

Swish!

Everyone's eyes fell on Mei Changsu, and Meng Zhi excitedly called out, "Xiao Shu!"

Meng Zhi's cry woke Mei Changsu up. He swallowed and continued to look at Zhou Chen with an incredible look, feeling his throat dry.

"Xiaochen, do you know what you are saying?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I knew you would react like this. Of course I know what I'm talking about. We've known each other for so many years and have lived and died together so many times. You should be able to understand my thoughts. Just tell me whether you are willing or not. As for the rest, you don't need to have any scruples."

"I……"

Mei Changsu opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say no. Of course he was willing, but...

Meng Zhi immediately advised: "Xiao Shu, I think it's okay. You are not Mei Changsu, your name is Lin Shu, and you are a descendant of the Lin family. If you have a son, the Lin family can be passed on."

Xia Dong also advised: "Xiao Shu, Commander Meng is right. I think you should consider it carefully."

Mei Changsu's expression kept changing, but he still didn't give his answer.

Chapter 864: Adoption, the Excited Mei Changsu

After a long silence, Mei Changsu spoke again.

"Xiaochen, I don't understand why you suddenly have this idea?"

Whether for a clan or an ordinary family, sons represent inheritance, and no one would be willing to easily give their son to someone else.

What's more, he understood Zhou Chen and knew what kind of person Zhou Chen was. These two children might be the only two children Zhou Chen would have in his life.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Chen could actually say that he would adopt the child. This was what he couldn't understand the most.

To be honest, if it were him, he probably wouldn't be so generous.

Zhou Chen said: "If I have to give a reason, if it weren't for you in Meiling, I might have died. But this is not a reward. If I only had one son, I would not have such an idea. But I have two sons now. Adopting one of them to you will not affect the inheritance of the Zhou family."

Mei Changsu smiled bitterly and said, "I saved you, but you also saved me."

Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "Alright, there's no point in talking about this now. Besides, I'm giving Xiaobao to you, which doesn't necessarily mean you're taking advantage. I think it's me who's taking advantage."

"Look, if you agree to adopt Xiaobao, he will be the only child of your Lin family in the future, and he will inherit the honor of your Lin family in the future. As long as Prince Jing ascends the throne, he will definitely treat the Lin family well. Will you still need to worry about Xiaobao's future at that time?"

"So if you really want to count it, I took advantage of you."

Meng Zhi and Nie Feng and Xia Dong looked at each other. They all knew that Zhou Chen said this on purpose, and in fact he was more concerned about Mei Changsu.

Especially Nie Feng and Xia Dong, they all knew what would happen after being poisoned by the fire and cold poison. Not to mention that Mei Changsu was extremely weak now, even if he was a little better, it would be difficult for him to have offspring.

By doing this, Zhou Chen was essentially giving his son to Mei Changsu.

As for what he said about inheriting the honor of the Lin family and Xiaobao having a bright future, that is in the future after all, and Mei Changsu doesn't care about it at all.

How could Mei Changsu not understand the truth that they could understand? He understood Zhou Chen better than these three people.

"Xiaochen, are you really, seriously?"

"of course."

Mei Changsu's breathing became unsteady, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if you have this idea, will Gong Yu agree? And Aunt Han, Dabao and Xiaobao are her grandchildren, the descendants of your Zhou family, will she agree?"

"Xiao Chen, I know you are doing this for my own good, but this matter is not up to you alone. Moreover, I am in this state now, and I am no longer worthy of having descendants."

Zhou Chen glared at him and scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about? You underestimate yourself too much. You don't have to think too much about Gong Yu and my mother. They have already agreed. Especially my mother, I went to ask her and she supports my decision. So now you don't have to consider others or anything else. You just need to stick to your own ideas."

"Will you, or won't you?"

Seeing that Mei Changsu's expression kept changing but he never agreed, Meng Zhi was more anxious than him because he knew that Mei Changsu's health was very poor.

"Xiao Shu, what are you still thinking about? Hurry up and agree. If you don't consider yourself, you should also consider the Lin family. You are going to make me anxious to death."

Nie Feng also spoke incoherently, trying to persuade Mei Changsu to agree quickly.

Mei Changsu sighed, and finally said solemnly: "If you are really willing, Xiaochen, then I am willing."

He knows his own body best. Not to mention that he is not married now, even if he is married, he will never be able to have children in this life.

Because of the Chiyan case, their Lin family was almost wiped out by Emperor Liang, and now he is the only one left. Once he is gone one day, the once famous Lin family will really disappear into thin air.

In this situation, how could he not have regrets?

Now the suggestion put forward by Zhou Chen made him feel no longer calm. If he had a son, even if he was adopted, he could also carry on the family line and incense for him, so that after so many years, the Lin family would not be without anyone to sweep the graves and burn incense.

His decision made everyone present feel relieved. This was the result they all wanted to see.

Zhou Chen also nodded. She was not surprised by this result.

"Since you have made the decision, then it's settled. What I mean is, in a few days it will be Dabao and Xiaobao's full moon banquet. At that time, we will hold a banquet in your Su Mansion and complete the adoption at the same time, and include Xiaobao's name in your Lin family tree."

"Of course, your identity cannot be made public right now, so we'll talk about this later. But since Xiaobao has been decided to be adopted by you, then his name will naturally be chosen by you as his father. As for the name of our eldest child, I've already thought of it."

"Did your father name you?"

Mei Changsu's eyes flickered. Even with his state of mind, he was very excited at this moment. He would soon have a son, and he would name his son himself. This was a good thing that he had never dared to imagine in the past.

Meng Zhi said at this time: "Xiao Shu, I am an experienced person in naming. You have to think carefully about it. It must be in line with the child's birth date. Don't just give it randomly."

Without waiting for Mei Changsu to speak, Xia Dong angrily scolded: "Knowing that you, Commander Meng, have a child, do you need to show off in front of us?"

Meng Zhi said innocently: "I'm not showing off. I'm reminding Xiao Shu. After all, he has no experience."

Xia Dong snorted coldly: "Xiao Shu is inexperienced, but he is a great talent, a great talent who can stir up the situation in the capital. He is much more knowledgeable than you. What's so difficult about picking a name?"

"Well, that's true."

Meng Zhi reacted and scratched his head. He had asked someone to help him choose the name of his child. But Mei Changsu was different. He was very knowledgeable.

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "Brother Meng, I know you have good intentions, and what you said is not wrong. I really need to think about it carefully. Let me think about it seriously for two days."

Naming may be a trivial matter for others, but for him, it is now a top priority. Even if he has countless knowledge in his mind, when he really wants to use it, he can't just use it whenever he wants.

"It's only a few days away. The full moon banquet will be held at your place. Although I don't have many friends, Xiaobao is your son now. You can decide who to invite. Anyway, I only have one request, that it be lively."

"Don't worry, leave it to me. Although I'm not a person who likes to be lively, I will still be prepared for such a big event."

Mei Changsu answered with a serious expression. To Zhou Chen, this might just be a full moon banquet, but to him, it was of great significance. Even if he couldn't restore his surname Lin and hold a grand ceremony, he would still invite the friends who should be invited.

After saying this, Meng Zhi suddenly talked about another important matter.

"I have been on duty beside His Majesty these days, and I can feel that His Majesty seems to intend to make Prince Jing the crown prince, but he is very dissatisfied with the memorials submitted by the court officials, so he has been dragging his feet. Xiao Shu, if this continues, will it affect your plan?"

Mei Changsu smiled confidently: "Don't worry, he is just having a hard time right now, it will be over soon. Now he has no choice but to make Jingyan the successor."

Although Emperor Liang had several sons, they were either defective or too young. Emperor Liang was old and he no longer had time to train another prince, so Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan was the best choice.

He knew in his heart that the delay was only due to his dissatisfaction with the court officials.

Meng Zhi added: "That is indeed the case, but our Majesty is worried that the longer the night, the more dreams he will have."

Mei Changsu suddenly asked another question: "Is the March Spring Hunt coming soon?"

Meng Zhi asked puzzledly: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Mei Changsu said: "If Jingyan has not been appointed as the crown prince before March, then the spring hunt in March will be his best opportunity to show his abilities. Jingyan is very smart and he will understand."

Meng Zhi nodded, not quite understanding, and then said, "Speaking of the March Spring Hunt, Xiao Shu, it seems that you haven't participated in it for many years. I still remember that year, you were so young, but you were able to overpower everyone and show your prowess in the March Spring Hunt. You were really a heroic young man."

Mei Changsu sighed, "Yes, fourteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. Things and people have changed."

"Yeah, things are different now."

…………

Mei Changsu acted quite quickly. The full moon banquet was only a few days away, so he quickly prepared the invitations and had his servants deliver them to various places.

In Mei Changsu's room, Li Gang and Zhen Ping both congratulated Mei Changsu with joy on their faces.

"This is really great. The young master finally did a great thing."

Ever since he learned that Zhou Chen was going to adopt his youngest son to Mei Changsu, Li Gang had been very excited. He had always served Mei Changsu and was very clear about the situation of his own clan leader. It was indeed a great joy for Mei Changsu to have an offspring.

Although Zhen Ping was also very happy, he couldn't help but teasing, "Li Gang, if the young master heard what you said, I'm afraid he would be punished again."

Li Gang couldn't help but shudder. He looked around and found that Zhou Chen was not there. He then breathed a sigh of relief.

He took the invitation letters handed over by Mei Changsu. These invitation letters were all written by Mei Changsu himself, word by word.

"This is for Young Master Yan, and Young Master Xiao. Hey, Sect Master, didn't Young Master Xiao go to Nanchu? Why are you giving him an invitation?"

Mei Changsu said softly: "Jing Rui is not only my friend, but also Xiaochen's good friend. Xiaochen must have sent his invitation, so I have to send my own as well. Whether he comes or not is another matter, but I still have to invite him if I should."

"Yes, Master, I will definitely deliver it on time."

"There are a few more copies. I'll give them to Zhen Ping to deliver later."

After finishing the invitation letter, Mei Changsu gave them both serious instructions.

"Li Gang, Zhen Ping, you have been with me for more than ten years and are the people I trust the most. I know my body well and I may not be able to watch Xiaobao grow up. Even if Xiaobao doesn't have me, he still has Xiaochen and Gong Yu to take care of him. But since Xiaochen has adopted Xiaobao to me, he is my Lin's son. If I am gone in the future, I ask you to help me take care of Xiaobao as he grows up."

Li Gang and Zhen Ping half-knelt on the ground in excitement.

"Sect Master, this is a great thing. You will be fine. You will definitely be able to watch the young master grow up."

Both of them are loyal. Xiaobao was adopted by Mei Changsu. To them, Xiaobao is their young master, the young master they are willing to die for.

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "Of course I hope so. The reason I told you all this is because I am worried. I want to watch him grow up more than anyone else."

There are not many people in this world who can make him care about them. Now he has another son. Although the adoption ceremony has not been completed yet, half of his heart is now on Xiaobao.

In the past, he had no scruples. As long as he could achieve his goal, he would not hesitate even if it meant losing his life.

But now, he is really afraid of death and does not want to die. He wants to watch the new generation of their Lin family thrive.

Li Gang and Zhen Ping said very seriously: "Master, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, we will definitely protect you even if it means risking our lives."

Only then did Mei Changsu reveal a satisfied smile.

"This child should have a happy future."

With Zhou Chen and Gong Yu as biological parents, plus his arrangements and Xiao Jingyan's attention in the future, it can be said that the child is loved by everyone, so he is not very worried about the child's future.

…………

Princess Pingyang's Mansion!

When Zhou Chen first heard that he wanted to adopt Xiaobao to Mei Changsu, Xiao Zhihan was indeed a little shocked.

However, after Zhou Chen personally found her and explained it to her in detail, she agreed.

Back then, she and Lin Shu's mother, Princess Jinyang, were blood cousins, and they were very close and had a very good relationship.

If Zhou Chen only had one son, she would never agree, but now she has two grandsons, and considering the difficulties Zhou Chen and Lin Shu have gone through over the years, she softened her heart and agreed.

It was Jin Yu who complained a few words, because she was completely loyal to her master Xiao Zhihan, and she also felt sorry for Zhou Chen, so she was reluctant to let him go.

"Jinyu, can Dabao and Xiaobao's clothes be ready tomorrow? Their full moon banquet will be in two days."

These days, Xiao Zhihan and Jinyu have been busy making clothes for the two children, because Zhou Chen said that they could not be there on the full moon day, so they let the two children wear the clothes they sewed by themselves, so the two of them have been very busy and energetic recently.

"Princess, it's almost done. It will be ready tomorrow. I made it according to the date. I will be there by then."

"That's good, that's good. It's a pity that I can't hold a grand full-month banquet for my two eldest grandchildren. Sigh."

"My Lord, this is already very good."

"Yes, this is already very good, and I am already very satisfied. Xiaochen said that day will come soon, but I have waited too long."

…………

Xiao Jingyan entered the palace early in the morning to pay his respects to his mother.

He is now only one step away from the position of crown prince and has the highest status among many princes. Naturally, he can enter and leave the palace at will.

However, he cannot go to the harem casually. Currently, he can only enter and exit his mother's Zhiluo Palace.

Although Concubine Jing is now a concubine, her life is still the same as before. After her son came, she prepared snacks, tea, and medicinal food for him, and she did it all herself.

"Jingyan, I've heard your father recently praise you for handling government affairs very well. You have made much better progress than before."

Xiao Jingyan was not arrogant, and said: "Speaking of this, in fact, I have many methods of handling government affairs, all of which I learned from Mr. Su. Mr. Su is a scholar and a first-class talent."

Concubine Jing smiled and said, "Indeed, Mr. Su is a great man. You can ask him for advice if you have nothing to do."

Xiao Jingyan said: "I know that mother is curious about Mr. Su, but it's a pity that I can't bring Mr. Su into the palace, otherwise there will be a chance for mother to meet this Mr. Su."

"I really want to meet this Mr. Su."
