Chapter 432: Husband, Father

After rowing twice on Mochou Lake with three old men who were old enough to be their great-grandfathers, Xu Xun's wish to sail on Mochou Lake with his wife was still not easily fulfilled. Early in the morning, he and Shen Yue accompanied Xu Liang to sweep the tomb of the Fang family before Zhang Mao and others. After Xu Liang was conferred uncle, he sent people back to his hometown to clean up the tomb again, the previous time a family of three came to worship and sweep and reorganized one or two, but this time it was the last time before the spirit was moved, and the next person stayed outside, and the family of three stood there, all of them looked at the stele silently.

Xu Liang also clearly remembered that when his deceased wife was buried in the ground, it was also Xu Bian's help, and he also helped him bury twenty taels of silver, otherwise he was afraid that he would not even be able to erect a stone tablet. After sweeping the tomb on the winter solstice of Qingming every year, he couldn't afford to buy those fresh melons and fruits and other tributes, at most he burned some more paper money in front of the grave, and accompanied his wife to talk for most of the day. It was not until he recognized Xu Xun as his son, and before the father and son left Jinling to go to Beijing, that the tomb was renovated, and now it is surrounded by green trees, and even a fence has been built around it, and there is a tomb keeper living in a hut in front of him, which is specially arranged by Fu Rong.

If God hadn't suddenly given him such a son, maybe he was still drawing water under the Dazhong Bridge, maybe the grave of his deceased wife was drenched in the wind and rain, sooner or later he would never be found again, maybe he would have lived the rest of his life alone...... Thinking about it, his eyes narrowed until he suddenly realized that someone had put something on his shoulder.

"It's windy in the mountains, so dad should add one more piece of clothing."

Xu Liang patted Xu Xun's hand on his shoulder, and saw that Shen Yue was looking at the grave in a daze, thinking that after this bride entered, the housekeeping of the family never let him worry about it, he couldn't help but smile a little, turned his head and said to Xu Xun: "Since Gonggong Fu invited the senior monks of Sanshan Temple to push the auspicious day, let's break ground according to that day." This way the soul guards are far away from Beijing, and there are many arrangements on the way. You still have a holy order on you, and don't keep throwing it away when you go to Xinheguan. ”

Xu Xun knew that Fu Rong had three or four auspicious days to calculate, and there was a lot of room for activity, which was nothing more than to facilitate him to do things, but in fact, he had already decided. Now that he heard Xu Liang say this, he knew that his father's heart was open and clear, so he answered softly. When the family of three quietly watched the paper money burned, Xu Xun and Shen Yue saluted again, and Xu Liang opened his mouth again.

"It's been more than ten years since your mother passed away, and the monk used to ask me to find a woman to make do with a partner, but at that time, I was so poor that I had to rely on drawing water and delivering water to live, and it was difficult to find someone with such a character as your mother anywhere. Now that I am rich, it seems to have become a strange news if I don't continue the string, and I am staring at it with all my eyes, but those young girls who are twenty or thirty years younger than me, most of the family fancy the family background of Xing'anbo's mansion, and I can get the order of a Mrs. Xing'anbo when I enter the door, otherwise what can I worry about as a bad old man? Even if she herself is temperamental and willing to live with me, but when she is about the same age as your husband and wife, she has the identity of a stepmother, she is not comfortable, you are not comfortable, and I am not comfortable. ”

These words were also quietly mentioned to Xu Xun, but although Xu Xun felt that it made sense, he didn't say half a word in front of Xu Liang after all-could he still say to Xu Liang, instead of finding me a stepmother, why don't you find a little mother? So, at this moment, he pondered for a long time, and finally remained silent. However, Shen Yue thought that his father-in-law had been guarding for more than ten years, and now that he was rich and rich, he did not forget his deceased wife, and he still cared about his son so much, and his heart was extremely moved, but he remembered the elusive Xu Bian. …,

This thing was a big pimple in her heart, and seeing that Xu Xun didn't speak at this time, she gritted her teeth, and stepped forward and said, "Dad, you still have a piece of affection for your mother and us, we all understand and miss it very much." But ......"

She didn't know what to say after this "but". Just as she racked her brains to think about her words, Xu Liang said lightly: "Seventy old men can still have children, not to mention that I am not yet fifty." But if you really have a son, it doesn't have much to do with your mother under Jiuquan, at most, it's just a stick of incense for her during the New Year's holidays, you can do this, why should I risk raising a loser? Xun'er, you are angry, you will earn a title back, nine times out of ten in the future, it will become hereditary, plus my own title, in the future, my two grandchildren will have a future, which family can have such a good thing? ”

"Huh?"

Not to mention Shen Yue, even Xu Xun knew for the first time that Xu Liang had such a plan, and he had mixed feelings for a while. At that time, he went out in Xuanfu to persuade Shenying Miao Kui, although there was an element of risky gambling, but more because he wanted to really gain a firm foothold in the court through military exploits, if he got the knighthood, even if he really had problems with his life experience, he could also let Xu Liang leave the title of Earl of Xing'an to the real heir. So, after taking a deep breath, he finally couldn't help it.

"Dad, there's one thing ......"

"You don't have to say it, you come with me."

After Xu Xun saw Xu Liang say a word, he turned his head and walked out, Xu Xun and Shen Yue glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed. A few subordinates waiting outside were about to surround them, but when they saw Xu Liang waving their hands, they stayed there in a proper manner, watching the three of them walk towards the other side of the woods.

After only walking a short distance on the forest path, Xu Xun saw that it was another tomb. The loess mound was almost flattened, and there were a few trees around it, and at this time, there was an old man picking wild vegetables in front of the grave, and when he saw that several of them were richly dressed, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and then tiptoed away. Compared with the fence around the tomb of Xu Liang's deceased wife, Fang's tomb, this place is empty and there is nothing to cover it.

"This is the grave that Xu Jin dug before."

Xu Xun and Shen Yue were unforgettable about the old things, and they were stunned at the same time. Xu Liang looked back at the sluggish little couple, and then sighed and said: "The child was too young back then, and your mother and I couldn't bear it, so I handed everything over to Xu Erye, and he did find a place with good feng shui." I also learned later that whether it is your mother's tomb or this land, Xu Erye has applied for a title deed in the government and it is in my name. Thinking about it, Xu Dong would not have expected that the person he was looking for had already been buried with his mother, and it was just an empty coffin. So I have already instructed someone, this time to move the burial, your mother buried her first child who died young, and then bury it back to the ancestral grave of the Xing'anbo family. ”

"Huh?"

If it was just a moment of sluggishness just now, Xu Xun and Shen Yue would be completely stunned at this moment. Xu Xun stood there almost with a numb scalp, his heart in a mess. It wasn't until Xu Liang walked up to him and patted him lightly on the shoulder that he suddenly came back to his senses, and his voice was full of difficulty.

"So, Daddy......"

"I already knew, not to mention that Second Master Xu had seen more than one of your daughters-in-law before." Xu Liang saw that Shen Yue was embarrassed, so he smiled tolerantly, "Second Master Xu told me that he can't turn back on a road, and instead of involving his son and his relatives, it is better to let everyone treat him as dead, so that he can have no scruples." Therefore, as early as more than ten years ago, he had already prepared that kind of plan, so he would quietly bury your mother and your brother's mother and son together, and only put an empty coffin in that grave. He told me that all the mistakes were his fault, and that he only wanted his son to have a good background that had nothing to do with him, and that he could even try to help me leave the title to my own son in the future. Listening to these old things, even if Xu Xun has always been a calm and calm person, even if Xu Xun has no sense of identity with Xu Bian's cheap father, he only feels that his heart is churning endlessly. And Shen Yue instinctively clung to her husband's arm, and her mind was blank.

And Xu Liang looked at the small couple like clay carvings and wood sculptures, and suddenly sneered: "My answer to him is very simple. I am grateful for his help to my wife and children back then, but I can't look down on him for being sneaky and unresponsible! If he said the truth, I just lost a son at that time, and your mother is also a person who likes children, and I wish I had an extra son under my knees, even if I am bitter, I will raise you well, and he can use it to throw you in the tiger and wolf den of the Xu family in Taipingli, and it will be more than ten years to be tossed by white eyes and cold treatment? And he left his son behind for so long, and he didn't come out when his son was in the most danger, he didn't deserve to be a father! From now on, Xu Xun will be my son, and he has nothing to do with him! He doesn't care who my title loves to give to whom! ”

"Daddy......"

Although he knew Xu Liang's temperament very well, but when he heard these categorical words at this moment, even if Xu Xun was beaten by Tie, his eyes were unconsciously moist at this time, and after screaming in a hoarse voice, he couldn't say anything anymore. He just watched Xu Liang walk towards him, and suddenly reached out and hugged him into his arms, and the rough hand even rubbed his head twice before letting go.

"So, in the future, you don't think about those messy things, if you have that free time, it's better to think about how to give me a few more grandchildren to relieve my boredom." Xu Liang beckoned Shen Yue over again, looked at her for a while, and then smiled heartily, "Although I don't like Second Master Xu's style, his vision for picking a daughter-in-law is really good." Yue'er, your father-in-law and I were born in a broken household, and Xun'er is not a natural nobleman, just right for you to be a cool and bold person. I still said the same thing before, if Xu Xun dares to bully you in the future, I don't care what kind of son of heaven he is, I only know that his father's fists are harder than his! ”

Flutter -

Although Shen Yue's eyes were red and full of emotion, this last sentence still amused her. She looked at Xu Liang seriously, tilted her head and glanced at Xu Xun again, then nodded vigorously and said, "Dad, with your words, I won't be afraid of him in the future!" ”

Standing there looking at Xu Liang and Shen Yue, Xu Xun suddenly strode forward, grabbed his father's shoulder with one hand, and Shen Yue with the other, and said word by word: "Okay, from now on, we will be a real family!" ”

At this moment, Ah Bao's voice tearing his throat came from afar: "Master, young master, young grandmother, Master Zhang, Master Lin and Master Zhang are here!" And Mr. Tang is also here! ”
