Because Yu Qian passed away.
The entire capital was filled with an atmosphere of grief. At this juncture, Xu Youzhen's banquet was also forced to be suspended.
His Majesty was feeling uncomfortable and sad. He did not celebrate the birth of the two princes. His "son" was the son born by his concubine. It would be somewhat unjustifiable to hold a big feast at this time.
Xu Youzhen was most concerned about things like inadvertently violating taboos. He thought that proud people always stumbled over small things that were easily overlooked...
So Xu Youzhen sent people to inform old friends from all over the country not to come.
He also specially asked the housekeeper to go to Tongzhou City to find the old Taoist Qingxu.
But when the Xu family's housekeeper arrived at the Taoist temple, he found that Taoist Qingxu had already set off.
This surprised the butler.
Tongzhou is not far from the capital, and there are still more than ten days left on the originally scheduled date. Why did Taoist Master Qingxu set off so quickly?
The apprentice of Qingxu Taoist only said that after the master received Master Xu's letter, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed that Master Xu's disaster was coming, and he would go there personally to resolve the disaster for Master Xu.
After the housekeeper heard this, he didn't take it to heart at all.
My master is in good health and has just given birth to a son to the Xu family. He is also at the height of his power in the court. Whenever a disaster comes, it can only be attributed to these outsiders who talk nonsense and pretend to be mysterious.
After that, the housekeeper returned directly to the capital.
In the Xu Mansion.
Xu Youzhen was holding her little son in her arms and playing with her. His wife, four daughters, son and daughter-in-law all gathered together.
After teasing for a while, Xu Youzhen looked at Wang who was sitting next to her and said, "I gave him a name, Xu Shixian. The Pu family sisters can't raise children well, so I still have to trouble Madam."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang sighed: "I will listen to my husband's arrangement. My husband said he would raise the child by my side, so I will stay."
Xu Youzhen, who was overly excited, did not notice anything strange about his wife.
"Okay, thank you madam." After saying that, Xu Youzhen stood up and handed the child into Wang's arms.
"This is your little brother. He will still have to take more care of him in the future. Your mother and I are getting older. When he reaches your age, we are also old and can't take care of him anymore. But you have to take care of him, especially You, Seriang..."
As soon as Xu Youzhen said these words, Wang's hand holding the child trembled suddenly.
After Xu Shiliang heard Xu Youzhen's words, he quickly stood up and knelt down: "Father, father, I know I was wrong..."
"What's wrong? What my father said is that you are the eldest son and grandson of our Xu family. In the future, you must take more care of your younger brother and don't dare to feel dissatisfied or jealous... Do you understand..."
After hearing what Xu Youzhen said.
Xu Shiliang breathed a sigh of relief. He thought his father already knew about his little trouble.
"So that's what happened. Don't worry, father. The child will take good care of his little brother. He won't dare to be jealous or have any dissatisfaction. If he imitates Kong Rong's virtues, he will be respectful to his brothers and sisters and will never make his father worried or upset." Xu Shiliang said respectfully, and then stood up calmly.
Xu Youzhen felt a little strange, but she just thought that Xu Shiliang felt a little sense of crisis because he had an extra brother.
Of course, Xu Shiliang was not the only one who breathed a sigh of relief, Wang also breathed a sigh of relief.
While her daughters were surrounding her, teasing Xu Shixian in her arms and laughing, Ms. Wang had a sad look on her face.
A wise child is better than his mother.
Ever since Pu Ning'er gave birth to the child, Xu Shiliang seemed to be possessed by a demon. He was distracted, nervous, flustered, and even a little scared every day.
This made Wang realize that something was wrong. Under cross-examination, Wang actually learned that his son had raped Pu Ning'er. He counted the days and figured out that this child was probably his...
Wang just finished listening to Xu Shiliang's words, couldn't breathe, and almost passed.
Wang, who had regained her composure, did not choose to tell Xu Youzhen about this matter. She almost couldn't resist the fact that her son had turned into a grandson, let alone Xu Youzhen herself.
In this way, while Xu Youzhen was busy, Mrs. Wang went to visit the Pu sisters and solemnly told them not to tell Xu Youzhen about the things Xu Shiliang did that were not as good as pigs and dogs. The Xu family would take good care of the children. That's it. It's good to live in a daze.
Pu Ningmei knew that even though Xu Youzhen loved their sisters, to put it bluntly, they valued their beauty. Even though they had some feelings and gained some status in Xu Youzhen's heart over the years, there was still no way to be with Xu Youzhen's wife. , compared with children, they are slaves and can only let it go. This is why Pu Ningmei and Pu Ning'er chose to endure it silently after the incident happened.
Even if Wang didn't come over to warn them, they would never tell anyone...
Regarding Xu Shiliang's statement, Xu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, if you have this intention, you will feel relieved as a father..." BIquGe.biz
As she said that, Xu Youzhen turned around, glanced at the daughters who were rushing to hug Xu Shixian, and showed a smile. However, Xu Youzhen didn't smile for long before a servant came over: "Master, there is a sloppy Taoist outside the house. He said I'm your friend, here for an appointment..."
After hearing this, Xu Youzhen frowned.
He knew that this sloppy Taoist was Taoist Qingxu, but he didn't send someone there and he didn't have an appointment anymore, so why did he come to keep the appointment?
However, even though he was here, Xu Youzhen definitely had no reason to disappear.
"You bring him in through the back door..."
"Yes, sir." The servant said and retreated.
This is a sensitive period, and my position is very sensitive. I don’t know how many people are staring at me. It’s always right to be careful.
Xu Youzhen was waiting for the old Taoist Qingxu at the entrance of the main hall. After waiting for a while, she saw a servant walking towards her with an ugly old Taoist wearing a green robe, white hair and skinny bones.
Xu Youzhen recognized the ugly old Taoist at a glance as Taoist Qingxu, and immediately greeted him with a big smile: "Taoist Master, Taoist Master, we haven't seen him for many years. Xu Youzhen misses the Taoist Master very much."
The old Taoist Qingxu snorted coldly: "I am also worried about the one hundred taels of silver that was stolen in front of the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty. Hey, a dying old man, a young child, and an ignorant fool, how can they? It was easy to save money, but someone actually stole it. At that time, I thought that the person who took my money must be in trouble. Now it seems that it is true, something happened to you..."
Xu Youzhen listened in a daze.
When he said goodbye to Taoist Priest Qingxu, he indeed stole his money for old age, but where did the words come from for this disaster?
To be honest, Xu Youzhen has not studied the celestial phenomena for a long time...
Now that everything is going well, Xu Youzhen, although she still believes in the art of celestial phenomena, has the courage to say that her destiny is up to her. Now that my destiny is up to me, the role of watching the celestial phenomena in judging fortune is minimal...
