Chapter 171: Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to Ancestors (Two Chapters in One)
The tender cold locks the dream because of the cold spring, and the aroma hits people is the fragrance of wine. In order to let Yijun dissipate her anger, Zhao Xian found a restaurant facing the Xiangjiang River, and only stopped when she couldn't drink steadily. asked Side to find a carriage, Zhao Xian wanted to send her back to Anfu, but thinking that she had an awkward quarrel with Miss An, and if she went drunk and crazy, she might cause some trouble, so after thinking about it a few times, she still drove her back to Guogong Mansion.
On the way of the carriage, Yijun, who had drunk too much, was slightly drunk and dizzy, and had been resting peacefully in Zhao Xian's arms, her red lips sprayed with a hint of wine, as if the strength of the wine had come up, only the wheels were grunting, accompanied by her panting.
Listening to the delicate gasp that evokes reverie, Zhao Xian smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and the evil thoughts in his heart suddenly rose, taking advantage of the opportunity to appease, he gently pinched her peach-like plump buttocks, and the fiery elasticity made people want to stop. Helplessly, Yijun still had a little resentment in his heart, shook his hand away several times, and asked a few words, 'Do you like my body, or do you like my person?' If this kind of lore is killed, Zhao Xian, who wants both of them, can only give up stupidly.
The moonlight is like a flower, although it has been night, the Guogong Mansion is brightly lit as usual, today is a little more lively than before, the lanterns do not need money as if they have to hang everywhere, the family is busy in and out, and the old housekeeper is still standing in front of the vermilion lacquer gate, holding a pergola and looking at it.
Zhao Xian didn't come back for a few days, and when he saw this meeting, he thought something big had happened, and after sending Yijun down to rest, he walked to the door and asked, "Old housekeeper, what day is it today?" ”
The old housekeeper was in his sixties with gray hair and a lovely smile. Although he is an old man who has followed Mr. An for many years, he has no intention of treating Zhao Xian at all, and he still replied respectfully as the following person: "Young Master, today is the birthday of General An Yuboan, the ancestor of the An family, and the master has been waiting for you in the ancestral hall for a long time, if you don't come back, you will send someone to invite you, you go in quickly." ”
On the birthday of the ancestors of the An family, Zhao Xian nodded thoughtfully, and went down to bathe and change into neat and solemn clothes. followed the old housekeeper to the ancestral hall. No one could enter the ancestral hall, so he entered it alone.
The Anjia has a transcendent position in the beams, and the ancestral hall is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, with tall halls, exquisite carvings, and high-quality materials. The hall number written by the first emperor himself. It is made of a golden plaque and hung high in the main hall. There are also plaques such as the origin of the surname, the glory of the clan, and the chastity of women hanging next to it, which shows the prosperity of the Anjia in the past.
The smoke in the house was fragrant, and Old Man An's temples were white. Wearing a solemn robe, he stood quietly in front of the ancestral tablet, touching his beard and thinking about things. Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head, saw Zhao Xian's face was happy, and said with a smile: "Xian'er, how is the business done?" ”
Zhao Xian smiled lightly and nodded: "Most of it has been completed, and we can renegotiate with Takeda Nobusho tomorrow." ”
"Very good, very good." Old man An asked a few trivial things casually, and then turned his eyes to the highest ranking in the ancestral hall, the name of 'An Yubo', he bowed seriously, and Zhao Xian also bowed, Old Man An nodded again and again when he saw this, hesitated, and said: "Xian'er, I called you here today, one is to worship the ancestors, and the other is to discuss something with you." ”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the top of the ranks.
An Yubo is the first Zhenguo Duke of Daliang and the founder of the An family, the An family has been inherited for a hundred years, and only two people are left, Mr. An and Zhao Xian, and the situation is quite bleak.
The inheritance of incense, not to mention the ancients, even in modern times is not child's play.
After the door was almost extinct in his own hands, Old Man An didn't even dare to die before, because he really had no face to face the ancestors and ancestors underground, and he didn't even dare to hold the ancestor worship ceremony during the New Year's Festival, for fear of angering the ancestors of the An family.
Now that Zhao Xian has returned, the stone in Old Man An's heart has finally fallen, and hope has been rekindled.
However, the grandson, who has been wandering for many years, has returned, but he has already changed his name.
Old man An can't allow this kind of thing to happen, the An family is the only seedling, what is the difference between changing the surname 'Zhao' and cutting off the incense? So Old Man An planned to ask Zhao Xian to change his surname back, but this matter was very difficult to do.
If Zhao Xian is unproductive, greedy for money or beauty, it will be much simpler, I am afraid that without Old Man An to speak, he himself will change his surname first, and call 'grandpa, grandpa'.
Although such a greedy person is disappointing, Old Man An doesn't have much demand for him, just be able to pass on the family and be an idle young master, and he is not ready to let him do anything.
Therefore, on the first night when Zhao Xian entered the An family, Mr. An carefully selected eight women with their own merits, thinking that in this way, Zhao Xian should be immersed in the gentle countryside and reluctant to leave, and obediently become the eldest young master of the An family, right?
It's a pity that what disappointed him was that Zhao Xian didn't even touch the maid that night, obviously not the kind of hungry ghost in the color, and the next day he didn't forget to take a peasant woman into the Guogong Mansion as a young lady to pet, rich is not easy to wife, it can be seen that although Zhao Xian is romantic, he is affectionate and righteous and misses the old love, not the kind of villain who is greedy for money and lust.
The plan to lure Zhao Xian failed, and Old Man An planned to use his power to control Zhao Xian and let him be the descendant of the An family honestly.
In the old man An's mind, Zhao Xian was born poor, because he was arrested and imprisoned before joining the army, even if he made some military achievements and some fame, he was only better than ordinary people, and suddenly became the grandson of the general of Zhenguo who held hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
After all, power is not something that you can control if you give it to you, for example, a beggar, if you let him sit on the throne and become the emperor, he can become a Ming Jun who suppressed the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? Obviously not, I'm afraid I can be scared to death by the momentum of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.
Old man An originally thought that Zhao Xian, who was like a flat-headed ordinary person, knew that he was 'An Li'er', and the most normal reaction should be to hide in the Guogong Mansion with his tail between his legs, and live under the wings of General An, and he should consult him for everything before he dares to do it.
But the result was just the opposite, after Zhao Xian did not live in the Guogong Mansion as an outsider, he commanded his servants to sit in his car, what to do, and even coerced the Dongying envoys and refuted such a big thing as civil and military officials, without informing him in advance.
To say that Zhao Xian is a man who does not know the sky. It's just a mediocre who has no brains, but judging from his current performance, he doesn't look like a mediocrity.
Do mediocre people have the courage to face thousands of troops and horses, and have the courage to shock the envoys of the allies? Not to mention the fact that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in the Three Dukes and Six Ministries recommended themselves, it is not bad for the petty officials to see that the emperor and the three Dukes did not lie down and tremble, and he even came directly to the sentence "What the Three Dukes and Six Ministries can't do, it doesn't mean that the ministers can't do it", Old Man An himself didn't dare to say that he could have this courage, and the surprise in his heart can be imagined.
After Old Man An understood that Zhao Xian was not a mediocre person, but a talented and courageous young man, it was natural for him to be happy in his heart. But that's exactly what he should be worried about.
Back then, he heard slanderous rumors that An Li'er was born with a backbone. In order to show loyalty to the court, despite the obstruction of An Li'er's parents, An Li'er was abandoned into the wilderness with his own hands, and after the death of his eldest son, his sad and desperate daughter-in-law also left angrily and remarried someone else.
abandoned others with his own hands, and he was separated from his parents. Wandering alone for so many years. Now people are productive and capable. I also want him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors to pass on the incense, and Old Man An is ashamed, and he has opened his mouth there.
Old Man An hesitated for so long and didn't let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Even the name 'An Li'er' has no face to say, and I really feel guilty.
But the An family is such a lone seedling, and they can't just change their surname, even if Zhao Xian is unwilling to change it back, it should be okay to change the eldest son to 'An' in the future, right?
Old Man An had such a plan, and wanted to take advantage of the ancestor's birthday to mention this matter to Zhao Xian, and he didn't even ask anyone to urge Zhao Xian, so he waited in the ancestral hall for a day.
At this time, with a little shame on his face, Old Man An looked at the man in front of him who had already grown up, and sighed: "Xian'er, I was confused back then, I listened to the villain's slander and abandoned you to the wilderness, and I have been adrift in me for so many years, and I have long regretted it, I have no choice but to find you for many years, I'm sorry for my ancestors..."
Speaking of this, he was already in tears, beating his chest and said: "Now you can come back, my incompetent old thing has the face to be your grandfather, but you are the only incense of the An family, and the general recognition of ancestors and return to the ancestors is, if the descendants of the An family are surnamed Zhao, how to convince the former generals to say it......"
Old Man An moved with affection and reason, and only made Zhao idle and honest, and listened to his old tears and words, only to find out that it was a matter of changing his name back.
The name "Zhao Xian" was given to him by the language of flowers, and the meaning of leisure means leisurely, and I hope that Zhao Xian will live a dull and leisurely life, which is of course also in Zhao Xian's own dream.
And why the surname Zhao, Zhao Xian is unknown, after arriving in Kyoto after his identity was exposed, he asked about the flower language to know, from the allusion of 'talking on paper', she saw that the An family was full of loyal martyrs and died tragically, and she really didn't want Zhao Xian to fight again, the An family is a family of famous generals, so she asked Zhao Xian to follow a generation of 'famous generals' Zhao Kuo as the surname, which can make Zhao Xian cry and laugh when he knows the truth, isn't there still Zhao Yun surnamed Zhao? However, he didn't know if there was Zhao Yun in this era, so he didn't investigate it in detail.
Anyway, the name 'Zhao Xian' can be said to be condensed by love and care in the language of flowers, Zhao Xian has been used to it for so many years, and it is a little difficult to accept it when he suddenly changes it to something else, but he occupies the magpie's nest and becomes An Li'er, and the flesh and blood are constantly cut, and he owes the An family a favor anyway.
Zhao Xian waited for the old man An to finish speaking, then smiled and said: "My surname is Zhao Mingxian, I have been used to it for so many years alone, I am afraid I can't change it in a short time, it is better to wait for the future to have an heir, let his surname An, and accept it faster." ”
Seeing Zhao Xian answer like this, Old Man An was not surprised, now that he has lived in Anfu, he is not afraid that Zhao Xian will run away, and he will change it after a long time.
When it came to the heir, Old Man An's heart moved, and he said: "Xian'er, you are eighteen years old, and you also have a wife's room, I see that Nizisheng is a well-behaved sign, healthy and healthy is a well-born woman, you have not been with her for a long time, why don't you see her stomach move?" I also acquiesced to Yijun's girl, and Ziyue didn't pay attention to you when she saw it, isn't it under your body..."
Old man An is a military general, but he is not as elegant as a civil official, seeing that so many women around Zhao Xian don't touch him, he can't help but doubt it, thinking about it can frighten him, if Zhao Xian is such a big man but can't use it, wouldn't the An family be finished.
He thought about this, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "If something really goes wrong, I'll go and invite the Feng Imperial Doctor to take a look at you." She's definitely not going out to talk nonsense......"
What the? I can't do it below? Zhao Xian was immediately angry, if he was such a big man and spread the news that it was not good below, he would not be laughed at to death, if it was not inconvenient, he would definitely take it out and show off to Old Man An.
Zhao Xian hurriedly stopped the eager old man An, shook his head and smiled: "I'm okay below, as for the heir..." She should also agree to let the child have the surname Ann after birth. It's also a chance to fix things, isn't it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xian touched his nose and said with a sneer: "Old man, in fact, I am not without heirs. It's just only three months before I was born. And that woman has a special status..."
"What?" Old Man An was immediately ecstatic. didn't care about Zhao Xian's words at all, and said excitedly: "You really have an heir?" Then why don't you quickly take it into Anfu and let people take good care of this, if something happens to my great-grandson... Phew! Look at my broken mouth..."
Zhao Xian nodded: "This woman's identity is very special. I'm afraid you can't accept it, but she is pregnant with your great-grandson in her belly, the only incense in the An family besides me, and her surname has been An since she was a child, and her bloodline is purer than mine......"
When Old Man An heard this, he was really excited in his heart, Zhao Xian's wings were stiff and he couldn't control it, but his great-grandson was different, while his old bones could live for a few years, and with a little cultivation, the An family would flourish again.
As for what kind of special woman it is, Old Man An didn't care very much, waved his hand and said: "You just say who it is, even if the concubine of any prince is stolen by you, as long as she has my An family's seed in her belly, I will pull down my face and ask her back." ”
What stealing people, am I that kind of person? Zhao Xian shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "She... She is Mrs. An, I met her in Wanbaolou in Jinling, and at first we didn't know each other's identities, and then... Afterwards... That's it..."
"What?" Old man An was staggering, his eyes were full of incredulity, but Zhao Xian deliberately teased him, shook his head and said: "Drunk Yan has been married to Anfu for more than ten years, his personality is chaste and clean, how can he be with you outside..."
Zhao Xian didn't want him to misunderstand Mrs. An, so he hurriedly explained: "Old man, this matter is a long story, anyway, I provoked some enemies and was drugged, and she was forced to be helpless." ”
Seeing that Zhao Xian's expression was serious and not like a fake, Old Man An frowned and his expression was very unpleasant, he hesitated for a long time, and sighed faintly: "That's it, the drunken girl entered An's house, and she and Wen Xuan met in a hurry for a few times, and Wen Xuan ...... Heaven and man are separated, she never mentioned the matter of remarriage, and she also pulled the two girls up, went south and north to take care of business, worked hard and complained enough of hard life, such a big family's trivial matters fell on her shoulders, and I can't help this old bone, I really owe her. ”
After sighing, Old Man An became excited again, and said: "Since she is pregnant with the child of the An family, she is still the daughter-in-law of the An family, I can still drive her out, quickly take her back and take good care of her, it is very bad to have a fetal gas." ”
Zhao Xian was surprised, he didn't expect Old Man An to accept it so quickly, and after thinking about it carefully, he also understood.
Old man An is probably not happy in his heart, but Mrs. An is pregnant with his child, compared with the inheritance of incense, what is that bit of style, and as long as you don't make a noise, who will know, and how many people dare to chew the root of their tongue if they know?
After worshipping the ancestors, after coming out of the ancestral hall, Zhao Xian's face was a lot happier, and he didn't have to do embarrassing things with Mrs. An secretly in the future.
However, thinking that Mrs. An's child should be surnamed An, and Huang Tiantian's child should be surnamed Huang, Zhao Xian couldn't cry or laugh, and it is estimated that he can get a hundred family names if he marries a few more.
Back in the courtyard, it was already late at night, and the lights of all the houses had been turned off, except for the east wing.
The east wing room was the room where Yijun lived temporarily, and Zhao Xian thought that she was drunk, so he went straight over.
Pushing open the door, I saw that Yijun was sleeping soundly on the bed, and Xiaomeng sat up from the quilt in a white dress and looked at it carefully.
Xiaomeng was dressed in a short dress, her hair was draped, and below was that pure and delicate face, with a ruddy bath, fluffy eyelashes, and wet eyes, which were indescribably moving.
Hearing the sound of the door, Xiaomeng raised his head, his eyes lit up slightly, and he was busy getting up, but he was shocked to find that he was not clothed, and he was busy and his face was flushed, and he said embarrassedly: "Hammer... Xianggong, you, why are you here? ”
It was a hammer again, Zhao Xian was quite depressed by this title, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at it for a while, and found that Yijun's skirt was neatly folded on the side of the pillow, and it seemed that both of them were stripped naked.
Especially because of drunkenness, Yi Junqiao's blushing and fluttering face is moving, and with the pure and lovely little dream, it is simply two poppies with their own characteristics, which can't help but provoke people's hearts.
Zhao Xian's heart fluttered slightly, and he sat on the edge of the bed with a smile and said, "At night, Xianggong is naturally here to rest, don't you welcome me." ”
"Huh!?" Xiaomeng blinked, looked at Yijun on the bed, shook his head like a rattle, and politely refused: "Sister Yijun is also here, how can you rest here...... The bed, the bed will collapse. ”
Zhao Xian was amused by this reason for refusal, took off his shoes and went to bed, and in her exclamation, he lifted the quilt and got into it and squeezed between the two. (To be continued......)
