Chapter 208: A Different Way
The Xu family ordered a few daughters-in-law to come to the meeting, where did the three of them dare to delay.
Even the Shen family, who was still "sick" and not suitable to go out, packed up and went to Songhe Hall.
The three of them went out with their feet in front of their feet, and they happened to meet at the gate of Songhetang Courtyard.
After greeting each other, the Fang family and the Song family both politely greeted the Shen family.
Shen also politely returned the salute, smiled softly, and said: "It's all an old problem, Sister-in-law Lao and the third brother and sister remember that they have been raised for two days, and they have been much better." ”
Shen's illness came suddenly, and the Fang family and the Song family didn't believe it very much, but they sent someone to investigate, but they didn't find anything, so it was not done later.
What's more, Shen's illness is closed, which is a good thing for the two of them.
Nowadays, the Fang clan and the Song clan are constantly fighting in private, although most of the time, they are small actions, but they are also noisy enough.
At this time, they were also afraid that the Song family would sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but the fisherman would benefit.
Therefore, regardless of whether Shen's illness is really a family, both the Fang family and the Song family are happy to see it.
At least there is no need to be distracted to watch out for the Shen clan when they are fighting with each other.
Xu specially sent someone to say that there was something to discuss with them, and the three of them were anxious to know what was going on, so they didn't have the heart to greet them, so they said a few words and entered the courtyard gate of Songhe Hall together.
Pan Xia personally waited under the porch, saw the three of them busy saluting, and then led the three to the guest hall.
As soon as I entered, I saw Xu sitting on the main seat, drinking tea.
People are in good spirits when they are happy, Xu is happy, and his face naturally has to reveal a few points.
Seeing the joy on Xu's face, the three of the Fang family couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and they all wondered what was going on to make the Xu family so happy.
"It's all here, sit down." Xu smiled and waved his hand and asked a few people to sit down.
After the three of the Fang family saluted, they sat down in order, and Pan Xia personally served tea.
Xu didn't deliberately take the pleats, so that Fang and the others bothered to guess, but opened his mouth happily.
"Just now, I received a handwritten letter from Master Puyun." As he spoke, Xu stretched out his index finger and lightly buckled the letter on the desk.
As soon as Xu's words came out, the eyes of the three Fang clans changed, and they couldn't help but look at the letter under Xu's fingers.
However, the letter was enclosed, and the three of them couldn't see anything, so they had to look at Xu again.
Seeing that the three daughters-in-law were anxious, Xu Shi hooked his lips and smiled, "The master is kind, and he thinks about the Gu family, even if he does good deeds, he doesn't forget to take the Gu family with him." ”
The Fang clan and the others were anxious to hear it, and Master Puyun was kind-hearted, and everyone in the capital knew it, so there was no need for the Xu clan to say more, you better get down to business.
Xu's eyes turned, and his tone was mysterious, "There is another war in the northwest, this morning, His Majesty appointed the son of the Lu family to fight in the northwest, and eight days later, the army will go to the northwest, you don't know about this matter yet, right?" ”
When Fang and the others heard this, they glanced at each other, and they were all a little puzzled.
What exactly does Xu want to say?
If there is a war in the northwest, what does it matter to a few of them?
Besides, this is a major event in the government and politics, isn't it a bit bad for the Xu family to tell them this?
Seeing that the three daughters-in-law were stunned, Xu Shi was a little depressed, and said in his heart that these clumsy ones had been married for so many years, but at the critical moment, they couldn't even guess her thoughts!
Because he felt that Fang's and others were clumsy, Xu didn't have the heart to show off, and said bluntly: "Every time there is a war, Hongji Temple will prepare some medicines for the soldiers on the front line, and this gift of medicine is the responsibility of Master Puyun, which you should also know, I won't say more, what I want to say is that in the past, Master Puyun took the medicine of the monks of Hongji Temple to the front-line soldiers, but he has never brought others to do it, but this year, the master opened Chrysostom for the first time, and he wants to bring others to do this great good deed." ”
Speaking of this, Xu paused for a moment, and then his eyes swept over the three daughters-in-law one by one.
She didn't believe it, she had said it all here, and these clumsy and blind people still didn't understand what was going on!
Although the Xu clan intended to be tempted, how could the Fang clan really be clumsy and blind?
Hearing Xu say this, several people almost thought of one person at the same time.
"Mother said it, but An Sheng?" Fang asked cautiously.
Although most of them already had the answer in their hearts, Fang Clan still didn't give up and wanted to ask clearly.
Shen and Song also looked at Xu, waiting for Xu to reveal the mystery.
Xu Shi smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is An Sheng, as you all know, An Sheng is a lay disciple of Master Puyun, and he studied medicine with Master Puyun, so it is normal for the master to give medicine to the front-line soldiers and take her with him." ”
Even if this matter is not normal, in Xu's eyes at this time, it is very normal.
What she values is, of course, not how capable An Sheng is or how kind he is.
Every year in Beijing, under the banner of doing good deeds, there are more people who go to Bomei to make a name.
What she values is naturally this good name.
If it weren't for the good name of benevolence, who would give away his own money and spend it on those who have nothing to do with it, and he is not a fool!
The family is a big family, in addition to the family status, isn't it just a reputation.
The Gu family lost face at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Youxiang, and this is a great opportunity to take the opportunity to save the damaged reputation.
Therefore, she will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
Thinking of this, Xu's face became a little more serious, and his tone was much more solemn.
"An Sheng can follow Master Puyun to do good deeds, because she is blessed and has a Buddha fate, but no matter how deep her Buddha relationship is, she is also a child of the Gu family, and when she goes out, she has to represent the Gu family."
Saying that, the Xu family also paused, and after glancing at the Fang family meaningfully, he continued: "There are some things, I don't need to say more, you should also understand that the Gu family is now compared to other big clans in the capital, there is always a layer of difference, that is because our luck is not good, now that the luck is coming, we have to catch it, you say, what I said is not ah." ”
"What my mother said is very true." When the Fang family heard this, they were busy.
Xu Shi nodded with satisfaction, "Since you all agree with my words, then I will be the master, such a great good deed as preparing medicines for the front-line soldiers, naturally it cannot be left behind our Gu family, in the past, although we also donated medicines during the war, but, whether it is the quantity of medicines, or the quality, can not be compared with those major families, this time, I thought, we will not join in the fun with them, they are rich, we can't compare in short." ”
"Since we can't compare, let's find another way, send the medicine directly to Hongji Temple, and ask Master Puyun to transfer it on your behalf, what do you think, how about my idea?"
