Chapter 67: The protagonist is still a supporting role

Although it has not yet been the New Year, but Xue Mansion has long been colorful, because today is Mrs. Xue's 60th birthday, almost all the dignitaries in the town came to pay her birthday, Mrs. Xue has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Xue Yongyuan is the eldest lord of Xue Mansion, the second son Xue Yongxuan is an official in the capital, and the daughter Xue Yongting is married to a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, this old lady Xue Mansion is also a strange woman, when the old lady of Xue Mansion died, the Xue family has already fallen, and the old lady Xue is stunned to support Xue Mansion alone, and the two sons are also angry, and the eldest man has a good way of doing business, The second old man's official road is smooth, and with such a big family business, almost all the people in the town who are in the Xue Mansion have come, just to get close to the Xue Mansion and have a relationship.

The second master was an official in the capital, and he had not been filial piety beside Mrs. Xue, so her mother celebrated her 60th birthday, asked for leave from the saint, and brought the whole family back to celebrate her mother's birthday to show her filial piety.

If there is anything regrettable about Mrs. Xue in this life, it is that the eldest grandson Xue Qianxun has not yet started a family, and this Mrs. Xue is called a birthday, which is actually for her grandson's daughter-in-law.

Maybe the descendants of the Xue Mansion leaked the news, and every invited guest brought their own daughters, even those who did not have daughters, also brought their daughters over with their daughters, hoping to marry the Xue Mansion.

Master Xue is nearly forty years old, but he is not old at all, he speaks sonorously, he married a wife and accepted three concubines, but the main wife gave birth to a son to him, and the other concubines gave birth to daughters, so Master Xue has only one son and four daughters in his life.

What makes Master Xue happy is that his son is very smart whether he is studying or doing business, and after being admitted to Xiucai at the age of fifteen, he is not interested in fame, but begins to learn to do business with him, and now most of the family's business is under his supervision, and he only makes some decisions on some major things.

Here Xue Mansion's grandmother Shen and the second brother and sister Jiang sit together and talk, Shen is the daughter of a rich family, when she fell in love with Xue Yongyuan at a glance and married him, the couple just got married and got tired of being together every day, but the good times did not last long, after she became pregnant, the man really couldn't resist the temptation, and accepted the concubine Yang during her pregnancy, for this reason, Shen was sad about Xue Yongyuan, and he no longer paid attention to him in the future, and the couple lived a life of respecting each other.

The Jiang family was born in a family of eunuchs, and she has long been accustomed to men's three wives and four concubines, so no matter how many concubines Xue Yongxuan accepts, she can face them with a smile and show the demeanor of an official lady.

Jiang picked up the handkerchief and covered the corners of his mouth and said to Shen with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I see that there are so many girls who came today, and my mother is looking for a daughter-in-law for Xun'er?" ”

Shen picked up the tea, took a sip, and said helplessly: "Isn't it?" Even the old lady is in a hurry, do you think I can not be in a hurry, if it weren't for those few things, Xun'er would have already married by now, and she would have both children and daughters. ”

Jiang Shi hurriedly relieved: "Sister-in-law, you see how you talk about this matter again, and you are not afraid of letting the old lady hear it, isn't it just to find a daughter-in-law for Xun'er today that you invited so many young ladies from big families to be in the boudoir." ”

"Hey, this incident has already broken Xun'er's heart, which is why his personality is so introverted," Shen was still worried about that incident back then.

When Xue Qianxun was born, Mrs. Xue took Xue Qianxun's generation of eight characters to the temple on the mountain to pray for him, just happened to meet the abbot Qingyuan in the temple, Mrs. Xue was busy holding Xue Qianxun's eight characters for him to calculate and calculate, Qingyuan glanced at it, and said to Mrs. Xue: "This son has an excellent life, inheriting the ancestral shade, there are the sun and the moon clamping life, Wu greed, the moon is bright and the sky is open, the sunrise Fusang is the case, the horse is crossed, the horse is with the Yin grid, the Shuanglu Dynasty is the Yuan grid, the Fu Xiang is the Yuan grid, and the purple mansion is the same as the palace grid, which shows that this son is three sides and four squares and there is no evil star to break through, Business and financial luck are good luck, but the luck of marriage is not good, if the son gets married early, I am afraid that his wife will not be early, it is best to get married at the age of twenty-six or seventeen, in order to reduce his evil spirit, if he encounters ......,"

Before Qingyuan finished speaking, Mrs. Xue was already annoyed and angry, and anyone who heard that the baby grandson she was looking forward to day and night was the life of his wife, he would not have any good face, so he threw his sleeves away, and the corner of Qingyuan's abbot smiled at Mrs. Xue's back and said: "Amitabha, good, good,"

Mrs. Xue returned home, did not tell the family, when Xue Qianxun was five years old, the family set a baby for him, who knew that the road was still a year, the little girl was gone because of the fever, and then when he was eleven years old, he was given a parent, who knew that the young lady eloped with the little girl and ran away, was killed by the bandits on the mountain, Mrs. Xue began to be anxious, and hurriedly took people to the mountain temple to ask the abbot of Qingyuan to crack this fate.

The abbot of Qingyuan is already a person outside the world, and he said: "Lord Xue doesn't have to worry about it, this son doesn't have to wait until he is twenty-six or seven years old to get married, and after marrying the destined person, the family business is prosperous, the children and grandchildren are full, the family background is gradually rich, and the blessing is three generations." ”

Old Lady Xue said suspiciously: "This is true,"

Qingyuan said with an expression that he had already expected: "Believe it or not is completely determined by the donor, life in the world, parents, lifespan, appearance, learning, husband and wife, children, are all inspired by the karma done in the previous life. If there is great merit, it will be more than what was cultivated in previous lives. If there is a great sin, it is not as good as what was cultivated in the previous life. It is necessary to practice conscientiously in order to change the karma of the past. If you want to have a good husband who is learned, talented, and virtuous, or you are afraid that you have not been blessed in your previous life, you will not be able to be satisfied with your infatuation. According to the Lengyan Sutra, those who recite Guanyin Bodhisattva ask for a wife and a wife, and ask for a son to have a son. Asking for a wife to the Bodhisattva is to ask the Bodhisattva to be added to the quilt and get his virtuous and wise wife. The same is true of Thou Qiufu. Recite Avalokiteshvara with all your might, and you should be able to fulfill your wishes. Otherwise, even if you have a good husband, or if you have a short life, many diseases, disasters, etc., you may not be able to get a good husband. Thou shalt not be proud of thy beauty. If this heart does not cease, it will be difficult to carry blessings. If you can listen to me, then you will be used by more people than you have cultivated in your previous lives. ”

Mrs. Xue benefited a lot, and after fasting on the mountain for three days, she returned to Xue's mansion, and called Xue Yongyuan and his wife, and informed them of the words of the abbot of Qingyuan.

After Shen sobered up, Mrs. Xue comforted her and said: "As long as Xun'er meets the destined person and gets married, there will be no trouble, you don't have to worry, don't tell outsiders about this matter, there are too many people who know the Tao, it will only do Xun'er no good." Shen had no choice but to nod in tears.

Since then, Mrs. Xue has gone to the temple on the mountain every year to bow and listen to the abbot Qingyuan's explanation of Zen.

Who would have thought that the older the old lady gets, the idea of holding her grandson is getting stronger and stronger, just in time for her sixtieth birthday, and she has some thoughts about wanting her grandson to start a family, in case Master Qingyuan miscalculates, and the grandson is not a wife? That's why it's like today.

Xue Qianxun had already known what the idea of Grandma Lu Dao was, but he didn't show it on his face, but he already had an idea in his heart, he took Sanshun to the main hall to greet his grandmother, Sanshun said with a hippie smile: "Young master, you see that these guests have brought young ladies over, and the young ladies of each family have red cheeks when they see you, and they don't dare to look directly,"

Xue Qianxun said with a straight face: "Recently, there has been a shortage of people in the stable, and you are idle and panicked now, I think you will go to the stable tomorrow to help!" ”

"Don't, young master, it's not okay if the slave is wrong, you can spare the slave this time!" Sanshun thought of the smell of the stable, and looked at his young master with grievances.

Xue Qianxun didn't squint, and glanced at Sanshun without a smile on his face, Sanshun's little heart was pounding at this time, and he didn't dare to say a word more.

When Mrs. Xue saw the eldest grandson, she hurriedly beckoned him to come over, and Xue Qianxun saw that there were many ladies and ladies around her grandmother, so she didn't step forward, stopped ten feet away from her grandmother and said, "Grandma, the banquet has been prepared, just wait for grandma to move to the main hall and prepare for the banquet." ”

Old Lady Xue looked at the eldest grandson lovingly, and waved him over: "Xun'er, you help grandma over,"

Xue Qianxun hurriedly walked over to help his grandmother, and heard her whispering: "There are so many girls here today, do you have any favorites about which girls?"

Xue Qianxun shook his head and said: "The grandson didn't pay attention to this, the grandson is not in a hurry, and besides, didn't the abbot of Qingyuan say that the grandson has to be twenty-three or four years old to get married, take advantage of this time, the grandson has to earn more money before he can marry a daughter-in-law,"

I still remember that when I was twelve years old, I overheard what my grandmother and her mother were saying, shocked, frightened, and overwhelmed, and rushed into the house and shouted at her mother: "Mother, what do you say I am?" Wife's life! ”

Shen didn't know when his son was outside the window, and how much he listened, coaxed: "You heard it wrong, my mother didn't say you, my mother and grandmother were talking about others, you must not take it seriously,"

"No, no, I heard it clearly outside the window, you and grandma were talking about me, and you also said that the girl who was married to me since childhood was killed by me, isn't it?" Xue Qianxun shouted as if he was crazy.

The last thing was that Mrs. Xue dropped the teacup, and Xue Qianxun quieted down, but she could still hear Shen's suppressed sobs, and Mrs. Xue said hatefully: "What are you crying about, Master Qingyuan said, Xun'er can meet the destined person at the age of twenty-three or four, after the two get married, hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, and the blessings are behind?" Xun'er, you heard grandma say that you are not a wife, just to let you get married later,"

It was probably at that time that Xue Qianxun's personality began to change slowly, and the older he gets, the more obvious his personality becomes, steady, silent, and introverted.

Old Mrs. Xue said with a straight face: "At this time and that time, you are eighteen years old after the next year, and you should be at the age of starting a family, if you have a girl who is optimistic about Lu, grandma will go to ask the abbot of Qingyuan to crack it, and she will definitely let my grandson marry a daughter-in-law,"

Xue Qianxun said helplessly: "Grandma, I really don't want to get married, don't bother arranging it for me, if I want to get married, I will tell you and my mother,"

Mrs. Xue wanted to say something, but was blocked by Xue Qianxun's next sentence: "Grandma, today is your sixtieth birthday, and the abbot of Qingyuan has come to congratulate you on your birthday,"

"What! Abbot Qingyuan is here, hurry up and invite people in," he shouted to the housekeeper behind him, Xue Qianxun hurriedly reassured: "Grandma, don't worry, because Abbot Qingyuan doesn't like many people, so I have invited Abbot Qingyuan into your Buddhist hall,"

Old Mrs. Xue felt that her grandson had done the right thing, and said, "Then let's go to the Buddha Hall, the lady here will let your mother and your second aunt help greet you!" Xue Qianxun nodded and signaled Sanshun, who hurriedly trotted to pass the word.
