Chapter 7 You are not worthy of entering the ancestral hall.

Hu Yunshen frowned: "It's just a piece of ready-made clothing I bought at Nishang Pavilion. Madam, do you want to question this too?"

Chen Qingyin was stunned. Why did she hear a hint of impatience in her husband's tone?

"I just think the embroidery on the collar is so ingenious and particularly suitable for you, so I wanted to ask for clarification and order a few more for you."

Before Hu Yunshen could say anything, the voice of Old Madam Hu came from the side.

"Usually Yun Shen is busy with military affairs. As his wife, you should be considerate of everything. How can you be his good wife if you ask him about everything even for a piece of clothing?"

Chen Qingyin turned her head and saw Old Madam Hu and Nanny Gao, leading Rong'er over together.

She lowered her head slightly and had no intention of arguing with Old Madam Hu in front of so many people.

"Mother."

Rong'er was wearing fine brocade clothes. Although he was still young, he had a string of gold and jade locks around his neck. They were very expensive and jingled when he walked.

Hu Mianmian looked over with her dark eyes. The little guy looked like he was smiling, but not smiling. This made Rong'er, who had originally looked relaxed, suddenly nervous and he didn't even dare to stagger when walking.

Next, in the presence of several clan elders, the ancestral hall was opened and the genealogy was recorded.

Madam Hu suggested: "Since Rong'er is a son born in old age, he is extremely noble, so why not give him the generation name 'Jin'?"

Chen Qingyin was surprised: "When Mianmian was born, you clearly said that the child was still young and did not need to be given a name."

"Mianmian is a girl, how can Rong'er be the same?" Old Madam Hu said righteously.

Chen Qingyin was even more puzzled: "That's even more wrong. 'Jin' is the generation name of Mianmian's generation. Rong'er and my husband are of the same generation, so he should be named 'Yun'."

Mrs. Hu was speechless: "This..."

She looked quickly at Hu Yunshen.

Hu Yunshen: "Madam, don't talk back to me."

Hu Mianmian secretly curled her lips.

This scumbag dad is so biased.

Hu Lan, who was standing next to her, stepped forward and took Chen Qingyin's arm in a seemingly intimate manner.

"Oh, sister-in-law, today is a good day for Rong'er to recognize his ancestors. No matter what generation name he is born with, it is a happy event. Why do you care about what his name is? Everything is decided by our parents and my eldest brother."

Chen Qingyin was particularly insistent: "Second sister, that's not what I meant. If you follow the wrong generation name, if it gets out, people who don't know will misunderstand and mistake Rong'er for your husband's child. It will damage the reputation of our Hu family."

Hu Mianmian smiled sweetly: "My uncle has become my son, how messy it is."

"Hu Mianmian!" Hu Yunshen scolded harshly, "If you continue like this, your father will dislike you."

The little guy snorted and turned his head away.

Who cares!

The elder of the clan also spoke at this time: "In fact, what the eldest lady said is correct. It is in accordance with the rules to start with the character 'Yun'."

Mr. Hu pursed his lips, not smiling, and said, "Let's start with the character 'Yun'!"

He exchanged glances with Old Madam Hu.

No matter what, the first thing to do today is to successfully recognize Rong'er!

To avoid unnecessary trouble.

Old Madam Hu had no choice but to nod in agreement, and from then on, Rong'er was changed to Hu Yunrong.

Three incense sticks are used to pay respect to God and the ancestors of the Hu family.

The elder of the tribe turned around and asked, "Whose name is this Rong'er registered under?"

Madam Hu took two steps forward in a hurry: "Madame Gao has served me for many years. I have already considered her as a family member. Her child should also be registered under my name and given the treatment of a legitimate child."

Chen Qingyin felt that things were really messed up.

She objected: "Mother, this shouldn't be the case. Grandma Gao is still alive, and Rong'er is listed in the family tree, so he should be her child."

No matter how much the ladies of aristocratic families like their concubines' sons and daughters, they will just call them to their laps and raise and take care of them on a normal basis.

Things registered in the register are to be passed down to future generations and must not be messed up.

Hu Mianmian wanted to cover her mouth and laugh.

Her mother came from a noble family, so naturally she had her own set of rules for doing things.

But the Hu family came from humble origins, how could they know etiquette?

As expected, after hearing Chen Qingyin's two rebuttals, Mrs. Hu was completely furious.

"My eldest daughter-in-law, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"

Chen Qingyin felt innocent: "Mom, what did I say wrong?"

Hu Yunshen also frowned.

Of course he knew that what Chen Qingyin said was right, and all the wealthy and powerful families out there acted in this way.

But Rong'er is his biological son, and nominally he has become Grandma Gao's child, which is already an injustice to him.

Now, she is going to be a concubine again!

Old Madam Hu leaned her cane on the ground, making loud thumps.

"You clearly want to piss me off to death. How has Rong'er ever offended you? As my legitimate child, what is there that you can't stand?"

"Mother, it's not that I don't like it, but we in Dayan have always followed this etiquette, and no family has ever done things this way!"

Chen Qingyin is usually in charge of the household and is very insistent on rules and regulations.

Seeing that she refused to give in, Mrs. Hu glanced at Hu Yunshen.

"Madam, why don't you just listen to mother's opinion on this matter?" Hu Yunshen stepped forward and pulled Chen Qingyin's arm.

Hu Mianmian narrowed her watery eyes beside her, and her little face looked pretty.

Want to recognize the legitimate child? Not that easy!

The little girl looked at Rong'er, the light in her eyes flowing, like an abyss slowly swirling around a whirlpool.

Rong'er didn't look at her at first, but was involuntarily attracted by her gaze.

Gradually, Rong'er spoke out her true feelings: "I want to be the legitimate child, so that I can inherit the Hu Mansion in the future!"

After he finished speaking, he was suddenly startled and his face became so puffy that he almost cried.

"Mammy, that's not what I wanted to say..." Rong'er covered his mouth and was protected in Mammy Gao's arms.

Grandma Gao's face turned pale. She looked around and saw that the elders of the clan were already frowning.

"Rong'er!" Hu Yunshen scolded, "What kind of words are you talking about?"

Grandma Gao quickly apologized on his behalf: "It's all my fault for not teaching you well!"

The clan elders whispered to Master Hu, "This child obviously hasn't learned the rules well. Your eldest son Yunshen's career has just started to improve, but you can't ruin his future just because of Rong'er's nonsense. It's better to record him as a concubine's son first, so that you can shirk responsibility if something goes wrong in the future."

Mr. Hu was most afraid that the honor that the Hu family had worked so hard to gain would be lost.

He nodded immediately.

"Just follow the rules and register Rong'er under the name of Grandma Gao."

Madam Hu looked at him in astonishment: "Master, do you mean to include Madam Gao in the family tree as well?"

Mr. Hu nodded: "Of course, Rong'er has already recognized me, so are you afraid of an extra procedure?"

He winked at Old Madam Hu, but she turned her eyes away in anger.

In the blink of an eye, Nanny Gao went from being a servant to Mr. Hu's second concubine.

Chen Qingyin took the initiative to say: "Then write down Grandma Gao's name first, and I will open the storehouse later to give Grandma Gao the gift of taking a concubine."

Grandma Gao lowered her head, said thank you in a low voice, and did not dare to look at Grandma Hu.

Everything is ready and the name is included in the family tree.

The clan elders took the lead and asked all the Hu family members to go in and kneel down to worship the gods and ancestors.

When Chen Qingyin was about to take Hu Mianmian in, she was stopped by Old Madam Hu.

"Qingyin, women who can enter the ancestral hall are either from my Hu family or can give birth to sons for my Hu family. You are nothing, so wait outside."
