Chapter 375: The Revelation of Yun Zhao’s Origins and Recognizing Relatives (5)_1
However, Mo Qingze could only stay at home for two days, and there wasn’t enough time to prepare, let alone that the 30th day of the 11th month was not an auspicious day. On the other hand, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, known as the "Laba Festival," was an excellent date. Changshan Academy would be on a one-day holiday, and thus conducting the adoption ceremony on this day would be perfect.
With the date set, the next step was to finalize the list of relatives and friends to invite.
Under the strong opposition of Yun Zhao, Mo Qingze had no choice but to agree to a small affair, inviting only the village head, Lin Yong, and other well-acquainted families to witness the event. Mo Hong’s family also needed to be informed, but whether they attended was immaterial.
Even with few guests, the adoption ceremony couldn’t be too simple; they had to follow the necessary rituals and customs.
The next morning, Mo Qingze went to the best Silver Tower in the city to order customized longevity locks for Yun Zhao siblings. The longevity locks needed to have the siblings’ names engraved on them and had to be made to order.
Upon returning, he took Yun Zhao Yun Sheng siblings to visit Yang Bao’s House first to extend the invitation.
Although Yang’s family didn’t quite understand why Mo Qingze, who already had a son and a daughter, wanted to adopt other children, they still warmly congratulated him.
After visiting the other well-acquainted families, the trio finally went to Lao Mo’s House.
Learning of their purpose, Old Man Mo felt so choked up that he could hardly breathe, but times had changed, so he forced a smile and managed a "good."
Mrs. Hong, on the other hand, was so angry that she smashed her teacup, cursing Mo Qingze for preferring to raise two children of unknown origin over caring for his own relatives. Had Mo Yongfu and Mo Yonglu brothers not held her back, she might have charged at Yun Zhao siblings.
Mo Qingze ignored her cursing; he spoke courteously to Old Man Mo for a moment and then left Lao Mo’s House with the calm Yun Zhao and a somewhat fearful Yun Sheng.
