Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 288 There is a successor
"Wow--!"

A week later.

A loud cry of a newborn baby rang out from the Young Marshal's Mansion in the provincial capital of eastern Guangdong.

Ren Zhuzhu gave birth to Guan Shaoqing's first child.

"Congratulations, young marshal! Congratulations on the safe delivery of your wife, a healthy and chubby baby boy!"

Soon, the female doctor in charge of the delivery came out of the room and happily congratulated Guan Shaoqing.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, doctor."

Upon hearing this, Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but smile. He then instructed his men to give the doctor an extra 100 silver dollars, the doctor's assistant an extra 20 silver dollars each, and all the servants in the Young Marshal's Mansion an extra 10 silver dollars each.

Guan Shaoqing finally had a child in his life.

Soon, as the news of Ren Tingting's successful delivery spread, the entire Young Marshal's Mansion was filled with joy and jubilation.

Especially when they learned that Ren Tingting had given birth to a boy, Gongzi.

The entire Guan family was greatly encouraged.

Because Ren Tingting gave birth to Guan Shaoqing's child, and it was a boy, it meant that the Guan family's power had a successor. To put it bluntly, even if Guan Shaoqing were to die in the future, the Guan family's power would still have a clear heir to continue.

With Guan Shaoqing now having a son as his heir, those who followed Guan Shaoqing and the Guan family's forces suddenly felt a sense of security. Otherwise, what would they do if something happened to Guan Shaoqing if there was no heir?

Just like in ancient history, if a eunuch wanted to raise an army and build his own power, look who would be willing to follow him? There wasn't even a successor, so who would be willing to follow him? There was simply no future.

"Haha, I, Guan Zongtang, have a grandson!"

Guan Zongtang, who had received the news quickly, also arrived at the Young Marshal's Mansion in high spirits.

Ren Tingting's successful delivery of a boy brought the greatest joy to Guan Zongtang, besides Guan Shaoqing and Ren Tingting themselves. The Guan family now had an heir, meaning their vast fortune would no longer be in jeopardy.

For this reason, Guan Zongtang specially obtained the right to name his eldest grandson from Guan Shaoqing, and named him with the character "Quan".

Guan Quan!

This name carries considerable weight.

What is power?
It goes without saying.

Almost as soon as the name was mentioned, the entire Guan family knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Guan Quan would be the future heir of the Guan family.

However, this is understandable.

After all, he was the eldest son.

Guan Shaoqing had no objection to this. The primogeniture system had been passed down in China for thousands of years and naturally had its merits. Its main purpose was to avoid infighting among the sons. Therefore, as long as the eldest son was not incompetent or too mediocre, Guan Shaoqing would definitely support the eldest son's succession.

Moreover, Guan Shaoqing believed that his bloodline and offspring would definitely not be inferior.

The next few days.

After Ren Tingting gave birth safely, Ren Zhuzhu, Mi Nianying, Yu Ji, Annie, and Aunt Thirteen also began to give birth one after another.

In the end, the six women together gave birth to three sons and three daughters for Guan Shaoqing.

Apart from his eldest son Guan Quan, whose name was chosen by his father, Guan Shaoqing named his two sons and three daughters himself.

The eldest son, Guan Quan, was born to Ren Tingting; the second son, Guan Yu, was born to the thirteenth aunt; and the third son, Guan Yang, was born to Yu Ji.

The eldest daughter, Guan Wen, was born to Ren Zhuzhu; the second daughter, Guan Yu, was born to Mi Nianying; and the third daughter, Guan Xin, was born to Annie.
-
It took several days in total.

Guan Shaoqing thus became the father of six children.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that Guan Shaoqing will have even more children in the future, because, not to mention, Qingqing and Bai Xiuzhu are both currently pregnant.

With the successful delivery of the sixth daughter, the entire Guan family was filled with joy.

Guan Zongtang, in particular, has been so happy these past few days that his mouth has never stopped moving, and he sometimes even laughs in his sleep at night.

However, Guan Zongtang was indeed happy. At present, his Guan family was at its zenith, possessing vast territories and countless riches. They were the epitome of wealth and power. His only son, Guan Shaoqing, was both a scholar and a warrior, unparalleled in his time.

However, there has always been one drawback: the Guan family has very few members, and in particular, the lineage is only one son per family.

Now, Guan Shaoqing has finally had children to continue the Guan family bloodline, and he even gave birth to three sons and three daughters at once.

This wave of development means that the Guan family not only has an heir, but also many descendants.

This is the case.

Guan Zongtang was naturally unhappy.

Even the entire eastern Guangdong region was filled with jubilation when they heard that Ren Tingting's six daughters had given birth one after another and that Guan Shaoqing had children. It wasn't until several days later that the jubilation subsided.
-
A month later.

Ports and wharves outside the provincial capital of eastern Guangdong.

"beep--"

With the deafening roar of the cargo ship's horn, a merchant ship belonging to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce slowly docked at the pier.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Xiongqi, Cheng Tianshun, Yanzi Li San, and others slowly appeared on the ship.

"Finally back home. After a long absence, returning to my hometown is the most comforting thing."

Looking at the familiar dock and the bustling scene of people coming and going.

Bai Xiongqi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Yes, the eastern part of Guangdong is still the most welcoming."

Cheng Tianshun and Yanzi Li San nodded in agreement. At this moment, all three of them had a look of undisguised fatigue on their faces, and they looked like they had traveled a long way.

After all, this trip to Southeast Asia was not an easy one for the group.

"However, this trip was worthwhile."

Bai Xiongqi spoke again.

Because their exploration trip to Southeast Asia yielded very good results.

After conducting on-site investigations, Bai Xiongqi discovered that the situation in Singapore and the Malay Peninsula was even better than they had expected. Although the geographical location there was somewhat smaller than that of China, its geographical location was truly exceptional. Moreover, there were many mineral resources, including oil, and preliminary explorations revealed that the reserves were quite substantial.

This is a crucial tool for industrial development.

Therefore, although the journey to Southeast Asia was arduous, Bai Xiongqi was extremely happy at this moment.

"We are very grateful to the two gentlemen for taking care of us throughout this trip."

Bai Xiongqi thanked Cheng Tianshun and Yanzi Li San again. He was able to return safely from his trip to Southeast Asia thanks to the protection of these two master martial arts experts. Otherwise, it would have been hard to say whether he could have returned safely. After all, Southeast Asia was much more chaotic than Guangdong, and many of the local inhabitants were quite anti-Chinese.

"Mr. Bai, you're too kind. Protecting Mr. Bai's safety is our shared responsibility."

Cheng Tianshun and Yanzi Li San laughed upon hearing this, and they also had a very good impression of Bai Xiongqi, because Bai Xiongqi was indeed very adept at handling interpersonal relationships.

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Cheng, and Mr. Li, please come with us to the car. The young marshal knows that you three gentlemen are returning today, and he specially arranged for me to pick you up. The young marshal also said that you three gentlemen have had a hard journey to Southeast Asia, and the mansion has prepared wine and dishes to welcome you back."

Just as Bai Xiongqi and the other two came down.

A squad of guards under Guan Shaoqing quickly approached Bai Xiongqi, Cheng Tianshun, and Yanzi Li San and saluted.

The three of them felt a warmth in their hearts upon hearing this.

"We are sorry to have troubled you, young marshal. We were just about to report our trip to you."

"Please come to the car, gentlemen."

"Thank you."
