Chapter 3305 Battle of Zhou Bai

Bai Shan went over first, intending to convince the other party with reason first, and then go to his father-in-law and uncles if he couldn't, and if he still couldn't, he would use other means.

It's just that the elders of the Bai family insisted, "Zhishan, this is your eldest son, how can you not follow the surname Bai?"

"Yes, even if you want to adopt, you should choose a child other than the eldest son. What's more, you only have one son now, and he has his surname when he is born. What if you don't have any children in the future, or if you can't have a son?"

Bai Shan: "...The fifth uncle is worried. With Imperial Doctor Zhou here, I don't believe that I won't be able to give birth to a second son."

Everyone: "..."

Bai Shandao: "The second child's succession to the Xia clan's ancestral ceremony was agreed upon before the marriage between our two families. No one can stand without trust. My nephew doesn't want to be a perfidious person."

"Nonsense, I always thought the second child was the second son, this is your eldest son!"

"Naturally, it doesn't matter whether it is a man or a woman," Bai Shan said. "If the second child is a daughter, then she will follow the Xia surname and inherit the Xia clan's ancestral worship. There is no distinction between men and women."

"You... stubborn, if you spread it out, wouldn't you be breaking the rules of the clan?"

Someone turned their brains around and suggested, "It's better to change the eldest daughter of Zhishan to the surname Xia, so it won't be broken, right?"

Bai Shan's face sank, and even Zheng Shi, who had been sitting quietly on the side, was also angry, and said angrily: "My eldest sister is equally noble, and she said that there is no distinction between men and women. Why should my uncles persecute her?"

"Since there is no distinction between men and women, why can't the eldest daughter follow the Xia surname? It can be seen that there is still a difference."

Bai Shan said with a cold face: "Eighth Uncle Shen Yan, there is no difference between my daughter and my son, if she had been agreed to take the Xia surname early in the morning, it would be fine, but she is Bai Jingxing now, and suddenly her brother was changed to Xia Jingxing, that means there is a difference. Is the eighth uncle trying to divide our father-daughter relationship, their brother-in-law relationship?”

He said displeased: "In my opinion, this is the root cause of the chaos in the family. Are uncles and uncles really doing me good?"

"What do you mean? Do you suspect that we have ulterior motives? Fourth aunt, is this child Zhishan resenting the family?"

Mrs. Liu asked flatly, "Are you asking me if I didn't teach my grandson well?"

Everyone choked. Among the people present, Mrs. Liu was the most senior. With Bai Shan present, they really couldn't question her unless someone of her seniority was there, or...

Someone glanced at Bai Shan vaguely.

Or like ten or twenty years ago, when the head of the household was weak and helpless, seniority was useless.

Bai Shan felt that there would be no progress in arguing, so he glanced at the servant who was waiting for him.

The servant quietly retreated, and soon Bai Erlang brought Old Zhou Tou and Zhou Dalang and Thursday Lang up.

The old Zhoutou said with a smile: "The relatives are all here, and the kitchen at the back boiled a lot of red eggs, all of which were eggs from my village. The taste is very good, I will send some to you to taste. ."

Thursday Lang held a pot in his hand, and gave them bonus eggs with great enthusiasm, two per person, unbiased.

Seeing the people from the Zhou family, Mr. Bai restrained his anger, squeezed out a smile and took the egg, not wanting to discuss the matter in front of them.

Old Zhou Tou stuffed Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Liu with two, and then sat under Mrs. Liu, smiling and said: "My mother, I heard Man Bao say that they have some kind of family leave when they are officials, right? "

Mrs. Liu held the red egg in her hand and replied "yes" with a smile.

The old Zhoutou said excitedly: "I don't know if the family visit will be long, if it is long enough, I want my uncle and Man Bao to take the child to Shangzhou. This child has inherited his grandmother's surname, so why not go there? It's good to make sacrifices and tell them."

The people of the Bai family couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but say, "This child's name has just been taken, and it has not yet been decided whether it will be Xia or Bai."

"Why didn't you decide? Didn't you say it was called Xia Mu?" Old Zhou Tou immediately looked at Bai Shan, "Uncle, this matter was agreed early on. Your second child will take the surname of Xia, but you can't go back on it."

Zhou Chulang also said: "Yes, brother-in-law, you are a scholar, and you are an official, so you have to be trustworthy."

Bai Shan quickly and humbly answered "yes", and then hesitantly glanced at everyone in the Bai family.

Master Bai Wu waited silently and did not speak. After a long time, someone in Fang muttered: "Then the eldest son can't be allowed to follow his surname."

Only then did Master Bai Wu negotiate with Lao Zhoutou: "Master Zhou, this is the eldest son of Zhishan. It's not good to change his surname, why not wait for the next child?"

"Yeah, yeah, they can still have a baby anyway, and the next child will be the same."

"Since it's all the same, why doesn't this work?" Old Zhou said, "I said it well before we got married. The second child took the surname of Xia, and he said the same thing when he was pregnant with a child. You can change your words when he is born, who knows. Will you change your mind when the next child is born?"

"Of course not. This is because of the special circumstances. He is the eldest son."

"I don't think so," Lao Zhoutou looked at them suspiciously, "Did you see that this child is very smart, so you are reluctant? But what if the next child is also very smart and will be born very well? Are you also unwilling?"

Everyone in the Bai family:  …

In the end, the hall became the battlefield between the Zhou family and the Bai family. Mrs. Liu and Bai Shan were useless and were left aside without a word.

Bai's side insisted that the child was the eldest son and could not have his surname; Zhou's side was biting to death on the promise they made when they were engaged, so they asked if they wanted to break the promise.

The Bai family can't clearly say that we are going to break the promise. After all, the Yu family's reputation is not good. If Bai Shan is willing to speak at this time, it will be easy to do it. …

In the end, when the Bai family left, they were exhausted by anger.

"In the end, it turned out that we were not human inside or outside."

"I really let this child take the Xia surname, and it would be shameful for our Bai clan to spread it out. Even the eldest son took his surname. Wouldn't he be the laughing stock of the aristocratic family?"

"Bai Shan is too lonely, he doesn't care about his clan at all."

After seeing all the guests away, Lao Zhoutou picked up a teacup to drink water, moistened his throat and said, "In the capital, it is rare to be able to talk so much in one day."

Bai Shan hurriedly filled him with tea, and said apologetically, "I made my father-in-law suffer."

Old Zhoutou waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and he frowned, "But I think they insisted a lot. I'm afraid it won't be easy."

He hesitated for a while, but then asked: "Will this matter affect you and Man Bao? In fact, what they said was right. After all, this is your eldest son. If it is really inconvenient, the next child will let him follow Xia. The last name is."

Bai Shan shook his head, "Father-in-law, that's him. It's not good for any other child."

Old Zhou was puzzled, "Why?"
