Chapter 3
After a fierce inner debate, Xue Zheng finally came to the conclusion that he really had to continue to think about it properly, seriously, and carefully.
โโYes, you can't make a decision so quickly!
However, the development of events, when Xue Zheng swayed from side to side, completely exceeded his imagination.
However, a few days after Huiyuan visited the Xue family for the second time, a message came out of Jinling City:
"The youngest son of the Xue family, the emperor of Jinling, is the 'reincarnated spirit child'!"
This news is very clear-eyed, and it quickly circulates in the city from top to bottom and from bottom to top, and it has the tendency to spread more and more fiercely.
The reason why this matter was revealed is actually not strange, after all, at that time, in the small village outside the city, there were many monks with heads and faces.
There are so many people, and there will always be one of them who will "accidentally" show something - anyway, Jia Yu waved his hand and said that there is, then there will definitely be.
Not to mention, the abbot Huiyuan, who was supposed to stay in Yangzhou Daming Temple, came to Jinling inexplicably, and it was very confusing, back and forth! twice!
-- Can such an intriguing thing make people not curious? Can it make people not think differently?
So the matter of the "reincarnated spirit child" spread so smoothly.
Of course, how much of this is secretly fueled by Jia Yu, outsiders don't know;
Of course, the goal of "weakening evil spirits" has achieved remarkable results so far.
Also, there are really a few people in the back, I don't know if it's shallow or what, or say something sour about Huiyuan stealing the credit of children, or say something "evil" and harmful to people.
-- Luckily, most people don't care. And a small number of people are not considered.
After a while -- it's the old saying -- because people's imagination is endless, in front of the Jinling Emperor's merchant Xue's house, there was a situation where ordinary people who did not know the truth gathered to worship and worship the "spirit child".
It was not until this time that Xue Zheng discovered that his youngest son had become famous and had the potential to spread out of Jinling.
This is really, "it's hard to ride a tiger"!
Xue Zheng's first reaction was to feel that someone was quietly making trouble.
But after a little investigation, he found that the occurrence and development of this qiฤ was so natural that he couldn't find any doubts at all.
-- Jia Yu smiled silently.
Now, because of this situation, Xue Zheng can no longer hold the previous mind of "thinking slowly". He could only stiffen his neck and respond to Huiyuan's request to accept Xue Yan as a lay disciple - if it dragged on any longer, I am afraid that his youngest son would not be as simple as becoming a lay disciple!
And Xue Yan's name of "reincarnated spirit child" was confirmed in this way.
- But that's another story.
Now let's go back to Jia Yu.
On the night of Huiyuan's second visit to Xue's house, he got the latter's reply, and he turned his head and arranged the rest of the matter extremely quickly.
After the incident, Jia Yu also thanked Xue Zheng from the bottom of his heart: he was still worried about finding a loud "name" for the Xue family's children, but he didn't expect the child's father to spontaneously think about it for him!
It's great that this dad deserves it!
As for what's next. Jia Yu touched his beard, a little happy. It's time to wait for the moment.
To tell the truth, when Huiyuan accepted the apprentice, Jia Yu was sure that the Xue family would eventually respond.
It's just that Jia Yu was too lazy to wait, so he did a little tricks to add a handful of firewood to make the fire burn a little more, and asked the other party to nod quickly.
-- As the saying goes, "the night is long and there are many dreams", he doesn't want to wait, and he doesn't dare to wait.
After the Xue family's affairs were arranged, the preparations for the Jia family's ancestor worship were also carried out in an orderly manner.
When the date of ancestor worship is determined and the preparations are almost complete, this gap is suitable for taking it to visit relatives.
No, as soon as Jia Yu was empty, he sent a message to the Zhang family in Jinling.
This Jinling Zhang family is not an outsider, it is the maiden family of the original Zhang family that Jia Yu has already gone.
It is said that Jia Yu has already remarried, and he is not as close to the Zhang family as he was at the beginning; however, with Zhang's parents and Jia Lian, it is reasonable that Jia Yu must take his son to "recognize the door".
But in fact, outsiders don't care about these so-called reasonableness.
After hearing that Jia Yu had voted for Zhang's family, those people all secretly dropped their jaws, and felt that this matter was unusual!
-- Why did you react like this, this has to start from the fact that thirteen years ago, the Jia family reported the funeral, saying that Jia Yu was the original partner of the Zhang family, and the eldest son of the two people had gone "suddenly ill".
The words "sudden illness" are easy to make people feel staggered. However, in the beginning, no one will say much, after all, who can guarantee that they will not get sick?
But soon, new rumors appeared in the capital. The rumor first spread in the market and entered the upper circles at a very fast speed.
The rumor is talking about the Jia family. The gist is that Jia pardons the concubine and kills his wife, connives, and connives, the concubine kills his eldest son, and then kills his wife to death!
That's amazing!
It is said that this rumor still came out of the Jia family, and it was said very clearly. Even at that moment, there were really people who found out that the Jia family had secretly dealt with several maids and concubines!
-- Now I have to think about it.
So those who heard the rumors were all eagerly looking forward to the reaction of Zhang's family.
-- At that time, the Zhang family was also a well-known family in the capital.
At that time, the old lady of the Zhang family was still alive, and she was the servant of the official department of the third grade, and several brothers of the Zhang family were also in important positions.
As the old daughter of the very favored Mrs. Zhang, when she married Jia Yu, people with a discerning eye said that this was "getting married".
I didn't expect such a scandal to happen......
- It's a good show!
However, the reaction of the Zhang family slapped the faces of these people who were idle and afraid that the world would not be chaotic, which made these people's faces hurt, and they had to wonder if the rumors were wrong:
This Jia family honestly handles the funeral, and it can be said that they have done something wrong and have a weak heart, so they deliberately do it carefully to cover it up; But your Zhang family is very sad, but those who should participate will participate, and those who should help will help, and they don't see anything else unusual at all?
- So what kind of rumor is this?
What about arguing for good reason? Saying good is angry and demanding justice?
It's okay if I didn't watch a big show, but the most suspicious thing is that not long after the Zhang family and his son were buried, Mrs. Zhang begged for bones and returned to his hometown!
Immediately afterwards, several descendants of the Zhang family also successively chose to go out or return to their hometowns.
In less than two years, the entire Zhang family has been far away from the capital - until now, there is still no Zhang family member who has become a Beijing official again.
