Chapter 7: The Fortune Teller
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Zhang Jiyao is a reckless man.
Sometimes he doesn't care about doing things, no matter what the occasion is, for example, now, he said in front of the old man of the Xu family that Xu Zhaoguang sent people to hunt him and Xu Xian.
As soon as Zhang Jiyao said this, Xu Xian, who was still in an excited state, immediately calmed down, she was silent, and she didn't even dare to look at the expression of the old man of the Xu family behind her.
Why is Zhang Jiyao, a bastard, talking nonsense everywhere? Not to mention that she didn't believe that Xu Zhaoguang would find someone to kill her, but if this kind of thing fell into the ears of the old man of the Xu family, how bad would it be? But what is surprising is that the old man of the Xu family did not show a surprised expression, as if what Zhang Jiyao said before was not that his adoptive grandson was going to kill his own granddaughter, but that he was very satisfied with lunch today.
Zhao Qingxuan squinted, and suddenly felt that this matter was more interesting than he imagined.
Before that, he actually didn't talk much with the old man of the Xu family, and the only conversation was that on the day he first came to the capital of Yueguo, Xu Zhaoguang pulled him to have a secret conversation with the old man of the Xu family, and Zhao Qingxuan bluntly said to the old man of the Xu family that he wanted to borrow the heirloom Baoyu door piano of the Xu family.
Zhao Qingxuan didn't know very well why Xu Zhaoguang had always been so enthusiastic about him, and even when he proposed to borrow the Yumenqin, as the future head of the Xu family, Xu Zhaoguang also helped him persuade the old man of the Xu family.
Zhao Qingxuan doesn't like Xu Zhaoguang for a reason, because Xu Zhaoguang has plans for him, although Zhao Qingxuan doesn't know what Xu Zhaoguang wants from him, but Zhao Qingxuan can see that Xu Zhaoguang is a ruthless character who can't afford to be profitable, and he has always disdained to deal with this kind of person, and has always stayed away. There was no way to do it this time, because of Xu Xian's matter, he had to be involved.
When Zhao Qingxuan proposed to borrow the jade door qin, how did Old Man Xu answer?
Oh yes, Zhao Qingxuan remembered.
This old lady who seems to have no quarrel with the world, no desire and no desire to play Tai Chi with Zhao Qingxuan, and keeps supporting himself for a long time, he has long ignored the affairs of the Xu family, and now all the matters of the Xu family are handed over to Xu Zhaoguang to deal with, and as for the heirloom of the Xu family, Baoyu Menqin, it is naturally handed over to the descendants of the Xu family for custody and disposal.
Now that I think about it, the four words of the descendants of the Xu family are simply meaningful and interesting.
At first, Zhao Qingxuan thought that the old man of the Xu family was referring to Xu Zhaoguang, but now it seems that the old man of the Xu family probably attaches the most importance to his own granddaughter. Zhao Qingxuan thought of this, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, no wonder Xu Zhaoguang kept jumping, stabbing on both sides, one side was gentle and petty in the face of Xu Xian, and on the other hand, he couldn't wait to get rid of Xu Xian.
If Xu Zhaoguang wants to become the real master of the Xu family, the only stumbling block in front of him is Xu Xian. Zhao Qingxuan doesn't think that a person like Xu Zhaoguang who is thoughtful and can make compromises is willing to be someone else's son-in-law for the rest of his life.
Zhao Qingxuan glanced meaningfully at Xu Xian, who was still out of the situation with a confused expression.
Zhao Qingxuan was quickly pondering the ins and outs of this matter, and at the same time, he vaguely felt that he seemed to have missed something crucial, what was it, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhao Qingxuan's mind, but the speed was so fast that he couldn't grasp it at all.
And at this time, the stupid Xu Xian was still speaking for Xu Zhaoguang: "Zhang Jiyao, what nonsense are you talking about!" Grandpa, this person is a psychopath, what he says is not credible, don't believe him, how can my brother want to kill me? ”
Xu Xian had a sincere heart and hurriedly defended, lest the old man of the Xu family would misunderstand Xu Zhaoguang, but Xu Xian never expected that the expression of the old man of the Xu family was still as calm as ever, no, it can't be said that it was the same as always, it should be that his expression has changed slightly compared to before.
The old man of the Xu family's expression darkened a little, as if a sentence made him even older.
The old man of the Xu family listened to Zhang Jiyao's words, the light in his eyes was extinguished a little, and his always tough body became a little rickety, and he sighed: "Zhaoguang...... Zhaoguang: He still made it to this point after all. ”
As soon as the old man of the Xu family said this, it was Xu Xian's turn to be stunned, her eyes widened, and she said incredulously: "Grandpa, you ...... What do you mean? ”
Xu Xian only felt that the whole world had been turned upside down.
Zhang Jiyao rushed in rashly and told her that Xu Zhaoguang not only wanted to kill her, but also to get rid of Zhang Jiyao, and what was even more terrifying was that grandpa didn't seem to be surprised by this incident, as if he had already guessed that it would happen.
A terrible thought appeared in Xu Xian's mind, could it be that Grandpa knew it early on? That's why she canceled her engagement with Xu Zhaoguang?
But why is this happening?
For all this, Xu Xian still couldn't believe it.
But the performance of the old man of the Xu family made Xu Xian have to believe that all this was true. The old man of the Xu family slowly walked to the depths of the bamboo garden with crutches, there was a path in the bamboo garden, and at the end of the path was a very delicate and atmospheric bamboo house.
The old man of the Xu family paused with his crutches, as if he had become the majestic head of the Xu family back then: "Since you are all here, then come in with the old man." ”
Although it is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but now it seems that it is impossible to hide it.
The old man of the Xu family looked ahead, and a trace of vicissitudes and sadness appeared in his eyes.
The hundred-year-old tree of the Xu family seems to be crumbling and the building is about to collapse, the old man of the Xu family has mixed feelings when he thinks of this, is the hundred-year-old cause of the Xu family going to be destroyed in his hands after all?
The others didn't know the complicated feelings of the old man of the Xu family, and the group followed the old man of the Xu family to the bamboo house in the depths of the bamboo garden, and the old man of the Xu family did not let his subordinates come to serve. This room is not large, the layout is very simple and atmospheric, there are two Taishi chairs facing the door, and a total of six chairs are placed one after another on both sides, adding up to a total of eight chairs.
The old man of the Xu family made tea himself, and he wanted to pour it for everyone, how could Jiang Nannan let an elder pour tea for him, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Xu Xian was still in shock and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, so naturally he wouldn't think about helping his grandfather.
Jiang Nannan wanted to avoid the old man of the Xu family before, lest the old man of the Xu family recognize him. But just now in the bamboo courtyard, the old man of the Xu family didn't seem to recognize her, so she breathed a sigh of relief and simply didn't dodge.
Everyone has a cup of hot tea leaves in their hands, and Longjing tea floats in front of no one and does not sink.
The old man of the Xu family glanced at Jiang Nannan and nodded his thanks. Jiang Nannan was looked at by the old man of the Xu family, pulled his clothes and sat up, like a well-behaved elementary school student who came to class in awe.
Jiang Nannan is still very in awe of the old man of the Xu family, this awe comes from the long-term exposure to the ears and eyes, Jiang Nannan's two sisters and the queen mother are very respectful of the old man of the Xu family, and she has been taught to learn the piano with the old man of the Xu family since she was a child. It's a pity that Jiang Nannan didn't study for long, and the old man of the Xu family resigned from the official position of teaching her and her two sisters piano skills on the grounds of old age and illness.
The old man of the Xu family took a sip of tea, and his tone was a little heavy: "Zhaoguang he...... has always been a good boy, and the old man doesn't know why he became like this. ”
Several people in the seat were silent, quietly listening to the old man of the Xu family.
The old man of the Xu family spoke very slowly, but he was very powerful and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making it impossible to ignore the content of what he said.
The old man of the Xu family seemed to fall into a memory, recalling the scene when he had just brought Xu Zhaoguang here: "The Xu family has always had thin blood and few people, and the old man doesn't know if the Xu family has done something wrong, and God wants to let the Xu family die." Ah Kang and Yiru died unexpectedly, leaving only Ah Xian and Dumiaomiao. ”
Ah Kang and Yiru are Xu Xian's father and mother.
Xu Xian listened to the words of the old man of the Xu family in silence and did not interject.
The old man of the Xu family sighed, glanced at Xu Xian and continued: "Ah Xian was born weak and sickly, and it is not easy to support, the old man is afraid that Ah Xian will die and will not be able to grow up safely, so he went to ask Master Lingyin and asked him to calculate a hexagram for Ah Xian." ”
Master Lingyin is a famous master in the Yue country, it is said that he knows astronomy and loves geography, and is very respected by the royal family and the people, and the hexagram is also very accurate, but Master Lingyin easily does not give people hexagrams, after all, it is extremely unfavorable to leak the will of heaven to scare his practice. It can be seen that the old man of the Xu family really showed his old face for the sake of Xu Xian, the granddaughter, and even went to seek the fortune teller of Master Lingyin.
Xu Xian naturally knew how rare Master Lingyin's fortune-telling was, she glanced at the old man of the Xu family with some surprise, she always thought that her grandfather didn't like her, but she didn't expect it......
The old man of the Xu family did not intend to talk about how hard he worked to get Master Lingyin's hexagram, but directly said the content of the hexagram: "Master Lingyin said that Ah Xian's fate is difficult, and it is also a catastrophe, which cannot be resolved easily. ”
Xu Xian didn't believe in fate, but she didn't interrupt the words of the old man of the Xu family, after all, this is the heart of an old man's fist, not to mention, isn't Master Lingyin's hexagram fulfilled? The catastrophe in her life is that she swapped bodies with Zhang Jiyao.
"The old man is Ah Xian's granddaughter, even if the old man gives up everything, he can't let Ah Xian have an accident. The old man asked Master Lingyin to point out a clear path, but fortunately, Master Lingyin was a figure from Tzu Chi, and he calculated a hexagram for Ah Xian, saying that if he found a companion for Ah Xian to grow up with, he might be able to help Ah Xian resolve this disaster in the future. ”
Zhao Qingxuan interjected at this time: "Then why did you choose Xu Zhaoguang?" ”
The old man of the Xu family smiled helplessly: "Naturally, it was also instructed by Master Lingyin, and Master Lingyin gave me a character and direction, and asked me to look for someone according to these two points." The master said that the child was a blessed one, but the blessing was too much for the parents to bear, and he was an orphan since he was a child, and he had been living in the north. It took a lot of effort for the old man to find Zhaoguang. ”
But he never thought that Xu Zhaoguang would have the heart to murder Xu Xian.
Zhao Qingxuan was silent for a while, and said, "I wonder if Mr. Xu still remembers the eight characters granted by Master Lingyin?" ”
