Chapter 11
-- Xue Zheng in this compartment had already intended to use his "sister" to add fuel to the fire, but he hadn't taken action yet;
This is also something that Xue Yan didn't expect at all, but it can be regarded as a mistake, right?!――
In any case, Xue Zheng followed his own ideas, on the one hand, he secretly arranged and carefully examined whether Xue Wang's miscarriage was tired or not; on the other hand, he sent people to Qixia Temple to hand a post to the abbot of Huiyuan, and then personally went up the mountain to talk to the abbot about Xue Yan's apprenticeship in detail, and then quickly decided that he would hold an apprenticeship ceremony for Xue Yan on the auspicious day of June 18.
After Xue Zheng returned to Xue's house, he dispersed the matter and began to control all the rumors related to the reincarnated spirit child in Jinling City.
This is completely different from the previous time when the spirit boy rumors first appeared. At that time, no matter how hard Xue Zheng tried to suppress it, it was like a fish entering the sea, and there was no wave.
Now, it was as if someone had loosened the clamp and asked Xue Zheng to successfully suppress the rumors that were becoming more and more noisy without much effort.
Xue Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be surprised: this matter was really as his young son said, and there was someone behind him who had the power above him to intervene!
Xue Zheng thought about it again, and decided not to try to explore the person who interfered according to what his youngest son said, but just pretended not to notice that something was wrong.
-- It's not enough to just suppress rumors.
Xue Zheng thought about the reminder of the abbot of Huiyuan when he left Qixia Temple, and simply invited his youngest son Xue Yan. The father and son closed the door of the study and said for most of the hour before leaving.
Then the next day, every few days, Xue Yan went to the temple Taoist temple with more believers like Qixia Temple, and sat face to face with the monks and Taoists inside to talk about the scriptures.
This activity lasted for several months, and Fang will break the rumors of the "reincarnated spirit child" Xue Yan, who is about to be praised by the people as the "altar", and breaks back that "the other party does not have any magical powers, just a mortal with abnormal intelligence and quite a wise root", this kind of cognition is both a bit out of place and a safe one.
- But this is a later story, the current Xue family is mainly about apprenticeship.
Xue Yan didn't know how his father Xue Zheng explained to his mother, anyway, after Xue Wang's family understood that Xue Yan's apprenticeship was a sure thing, and the apprenticeship would not have much impact on Xue Yan's future development, his mother's attitude was not as resistant as it was at the beginning.
Seeing this, Xue Yan also consciously went to "do work" for his brother Xiong, at least, to let the latter know that he was worshipping a monk as a teacher, but he really didn't want to be a monk!
The Xue family has internal river crabs, and external things naturally have to keep up.
Because June 18 is only ten days away. To plan a ceremony, time was of the essence.
Although Master Huiyuan also spoke, saying that Buddhism should accept disciples and should not be overly extravagant, but the couple of the Xue family, who are distressed about their children, are not happy to "follow the simplicity" from the bottom of their hearts: their precious sons are "forced" to be lay disciples of Buddhism.
Fortunately, Xue Yan found out early, and he did everything he could to demand that the cost of this ceremony should never exceed one degree, so that the couple stopped.
It's just that the Xue family is still busy with this.
-- This morning, when Xue Yu was eating snacks during recess, he heard his eldest maid, the sea cat, say that his uncle Xue Lu's wife, who is also his aunt Xue Yu, has come to help today.
Xue Zheng swallowed the snack, his eyes rolled, and he decided to skip class!
Not to mention this "escape" process, anyway, after Xue Yan got rid of all the people around him, he soon came to the courtyard of the Xue Wang family.
As always, he stopped the maid from reporting, and then hid on the side and "eavesdropped" in the open.
――In other words, the Xue family now has a total of eight rooms, and there are only two brothers in the long house.
The elder brother is Xue Zheng, Xue Yan's father, and the younger brother is one of the few Xiucailang and Xue Lu in the Xue family.
Yes, this is Xue Zhen and Xue Baoqin's father!
Xue Zhen is the same age as Xue Yan (a), that is, a little more than three months younger. Xue Baoqin has not yet been born, Xue Yan counts the days, if there is no difference, his aunt should be about to get pregnant.
But Xue Yan was a little worried: Now that Sister Bao is gone, will he be a butterfly, and even Baoqin will be fanned?
Cao Gong's Baoqin is talented, good-looking, and temperamental, and can be called the first comprehensive in the girls of Jiafu. If it's really because of him......
Thinking about it, he was helpless.
Although he is not sure if he has the opportunity to watch Baoqin, Xue Yan can still get in touch with the woman who gave birth to Baoqin and his aunt Xue Yu.
Xue Yu's maiden family background is average, and in a nutshell, he is "a down-and-out squire with a talent and fame in Jinling". It is probably because of this family background that the Yu family will let their daughter-in-law "marry" the merchant family.
On the surface, Xue Yu's is a small jasper, and even everyone can't reach it.
But from the few contacts he had with Xue Yu, Xue Yan clearly felt that his little aunt had a cheerful and cheerful personality, acted meticulously and generously, and had sharp and open vision—not at all like a daughter that a down-and-out squire could raise.
Taken together, it is completely comparable to the daughters specially cultivated by many big families for marriage!
Even, Xue Yan felt that compared to his mother-in-law Xue Wang's family, Xue Yu's family was actually more suitable as a clan wife.
It's a pity, it's still the old saying, the family background is a problem! No matter what his father is, he will not marry a mere squire's daughter as a wife.
However, his uncle Xue Lu is not bad, and even more respectful than his father.
This can be regarded as seeking benevolence, right?
Thinking so, Xue Yu turned another corner in his heart and turned to Xue Yu's "intention" today.
Xue Yan believes that the aunt's coming to help cao with the apprenticeship ceremony this time is just one of them. There must be something else to discuss...... Or rather, to explain.
Judging from the original book, he knew that his uncle would take over part of the family business in the future, and then take his wife and children around the world.
In fact, the uncle was still thinking about the imperial examination at this time, and did not help the family's business.
However, Uncle has been stuck in Xiucai for so many years, and he has not made any progress...... Xue Yandu, just continue to take the test, and if you stand up to the sky, you will be a person in one fell swoop, right?
But how many years does the uncle have to waste before he is admitted to the exam?
That's right, Xue Yan's father, Xue Zheng, is bent on changing his court, and the latter doesn't have much talent for studying, so he pins his expectations on his brother Xue Lu.
Even if he is a younger brother, he is not very good at reading.
If Uncle Xue Lu wants to continue to accept his brother's support, continue to study and take the imperial examination, most likely his father Xue Zheng will not have an opinion.
However, Xue Yan felt that his aunt Xue Yu didn't want his uncle to continue to take the exam like this.
