The New Year is approaching, and there are endless relatives and friends coming to the Xu Mansion every day, and the threshold is about to be squeezed out. In addition to being busy receiving his friends, most of Xu Hao is not willing to show up.

He had no time to spare for several days. That afternoon, he took the time to visit Yao Guangxiao. Master Yao was thinner than last year and his mouth was not clear. After all, he was already eighty years old.

Yao Guangxiao asked him to visit Jin Zhong, but Xu Hao then learned that Jin Zhong was seriously ill. The imperial doctor said that he would not be able to survive the next year.

As Zhu Di's spiritual sustenance when he was launched, if it weren't for Yao Guangxiao's wisdom and Jin Zhong's fortune-telling, history might have become different.

Jin Zhong was from a military household, from Ningbo. He has been smart since childhood and is good at studying and is good at divination of the Book of Changes. His brother was stationed in Tongzhou and made contributions to foreign wars. He should have been promoted to an official position, but probably because his brother did not want to become a military household completely. In that case, his brother would not be able to participate in the imperial examination and refused.

Unexpectedly, my brother died soon after, and a soldier brother unfortunately died. In this way, Jin Zhong wanted to take over his military post to guard Tongzhou.

Because his family was poor and could not go out, he was sponsored by Yuan Gong, who was praised by Yao Guangxiao as the number one in the world. On the occasion of his departure, Yuan Gong once said: "You will be rich and prosperous in the future, don't forget me."

In fact, at that time, Yuan Gong had asserted that Zhu Di had an emperor's appearance, not only a confrontation, but the comprehensive strength of the King of Yan was undoubtedly the most powerful competitor to the throne. In addition, Yao Guangxiao also joined Zhu Di's disciple. Yuan Gong and Yao Guangxiao had known each other for a long time, saying that he was a strange monk with a triangle of eyes and a sick tiger. He would have bloodthirsty killing in nature, and Liu Bingzhong Liu was also.

Zhu Di got Yao Guangxiao and was like a tiger with wings, so Yuan Gong also placed bets in advance. Because Zhu Di was superstitious, he traveled around to find strange people in order to strengthen the suspicious confidence of the King of Yan.

After Jin Zhong arrived in Tongzhou, he often went to Peking to divine and make money according to Yuan Gong's instructions. Because the calculation was very accurate, the people said that he was a god.

At this time, Yao Guangxiao praised Jin Zhong's deeds in front of Zhu Di. Zhu Di pretended to be sick and invited Jin Zhong to ask for divination in a house. Jin Zhong took the hexagram of the seal Chengxuan, pointing out that this hexagram is precious and unspeakable. You are a golden branch and jade leaf rather than an ordinary person.

From then on, Zhu Di believed in Jin Zhong's divination, and Jin Zhong was also a very outstanding talent, especially with a good character. He gradually became the right chief of the Yan Prince's Mansion and was one of the important counselors around Zhu Di.

During the Jingnan period, most of the military generals on the front line tended to be the crown prince, who fought side by side, while literati such as Jin Zhongze and Yao Guangxiao supported Zhu Gaochi who stayed in the rear.

After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, Jin Zhong was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works as a meritorious old minister, and a few years ago he was promoted to the Minister of War.

Jin Zhong is a low-key person and is especially cautious. He never reveals any conversations with emperors and is always humble to his colleagues and friends.

Xu Hao rushed to the Jin Mansion and hurriedly greeted the officials. He was led to the inner house by Jin Zhong's son Jin Da.

Jin Zhong, who was lying on the bed, could no longer speak. He looked at him blankly, and Xu Hao said, "I will take good care of my nephew. Don't worry."

Jin Zhong slowly closed his eyes, Xu Hao sighed softly, and looked at the surrounding environment, and there was almost nothing luxurious."

After sitting for a while, Xu Hao said goodbye. Jin Da, who sent him out, suddenly said, "Uncle, there is something in my nephew, I don't know whether to say it or not."

In fact, Jin Da is about the same age as Xu Hao, and he is 29 years old this year. Because Jin Zhong refused to allow his son Jing Enmeng to become an official, he has not yet passed the Jinshi exam.

Xu Hao said: "There is nothing I can't say? If I want to become an official, I will recommend it to the court immediately."

"No. No." Jin Da shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, faces like my nephew generally cannot enjoy the New Year. My father once said that I am extremely lucky at the age of twenty-nine. If I pass this barrier, it would be fine. If I can't get over it, I don't need to say it. Therefore, my nephew has a very little thought of fame and fortune, but he attaches great importance to the incense of my Jin family. Who made my father the only son?"

Xu Hao nodded. There were many beautiful men in Jinling, and Jin Da was definitely one of the best. In later generations, it was too feminine, and in the current terms, it was too charming. In the physiognomy, it said that such men mostly have a short lifespan.

The art of divination is not to mention the origin of Jin Da’s family. In the first year of Hong Xi, he passed the scholar exam and had outstanding talents. After passing the scholar exam, he felt that his life was short. Jin Da was no longer keen on studying and became interested in medicine. In recent years, he changed to specializing in medical skills.

He was quite conceited with his medical skills and repeatedly said that if I couldn't even cure myself, it would be useless to ask someone to treat him.

Jinda said: "I married three wives and concubines, and only one of them had a son, so I asked my uncle to testify for me so that my son would not be raised in the future."

Xu Hao was very surprised. As he came to the hall, Jin Da ordered people to call his wives and concubines to the front and hold his baby son.

Xu Hao saw that his wife Luo was as beautiful as a flower, his concubine Mo was also beautiful, and his maid Bilian was also somewhat beautiful.

Jin Da seemed to deliberately not introduce Xu Hao's identity, but said: "My Jin family is only bloody. Who among the three of you is willing to raise me? I don't think you are like widows. You are willing to keep it or not. You might as well open it and talk directly.

If you are reluctant to be a vain, my friend is here, so that my son can be entrusted to him so that my father and I will die one after another. You will remarry to someone else's house and cut off a ancestral hall of my Jin family."

The Jin family was originally sparsely populated, and two of the three brothers of Jin Zhong's generation died. He only had one son and one grandson, so the family could not count on it. Besides, the tea was cold when people left, God knows what other relatives would do!

Luo looked at Xu Hao, who was wearing ordinary clothes. The Xu family had not had much contact with the Jin family and did not know each other. He first said, "What did my husband say? A strong woman would not marry her husband, but she would not have a son. Even if she had to keep her pride for the Jin family, let alone her own blood. Anyway, my husband and I were married, which was different from their concubines and maids. If they were willing to be with me, it would be a blessing for my husband. If they were unwilling, don't delay them. If you want to go, just go there. If I raise my son, I will be able to raise my son. Why do you need to find friends? What kind of orphans should I ask you to be ridiculed by others. To put it bluntly, please don't blame this uncle. God knows whether to lead a wolf into the house. As the saying goes, you know people but not your heart!"

Xu Hao smiled. Just by these words that didn't know the depth, it proved that Jin Da's concerns were aimless, and that the child was born by his concubine Mo.

Sure enough, Mo Shi was dissatisfied and said coldly: "So what if you get married? Although I am a concubine, the aunt should not take others underestimate you. Even if you are not fertile, you must keep your own life. Could it be that if I have given birth to a son, I have lost my own flesh and blood and remarried others? Since ancient times, there have been only widowed widows and no widowed girls. If we three are only Bilian, we can go there.

If my husband has a good time, please send her out. We are from the Jin family in life and from the Jin family in death. There is no other sentence, my husband just rest assured."

Xu Hao saw Jin Da happily and said, "That's good, that's good, it's good, it's not worth the couple."

When Luo Shi Mo was speaking, Bi Lian listened on the side, looking admiring. It was her turn to express her opinion. Unexpectedly, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Jin Da asked disappointedly: "Bi Lian, why don't you say a few words? I think you are going out?"

Bi Lian still bit her lips without saying a word. Luo said, "It doesn't matter if you want to go. Just say you're going. Can we still force you to keep your qualities?"

Bi Lian had no choice but to say slowly, "I don't need to agree to this kind of thing. Just now, the aunt and the second wife said it to the slave. Those who are living in a liaison are not qualified to speak. If the young master is unattended and the slave is willing to raise him and extend a bloodline for his husband, he naturally shouldn't leave the Jin family. Now the aunt and the second wife have to guard him. He has two mothers, how can I care about my foster mother? After a hundred years, no one will keep you for your rituals. If I want me to be a guardian dog and burn a piece of paper money during the New Year, I shouldn't be as a girl.

But now the aunt is also a widow, and the second wife is also a widow. The Jin family’s Feng Shui is so good, and three priests will be born at once. I will follow the two grandma’s words and keep me at home to serve. I am not ready to go out, or I am worried that there are many people who want to send me away, so I dare not stay at home.

I think what does it matter if a maid is involved? Losing integrity does not harm oneself, and keeping integrity does not help others. It is nothing more than just to let it go."

Xu Hao looked at her deeply and thought that this was not simple, with a clear understanding of the views, clear structure, and insight into human feelings. She is a girl with a kinship, and she cannot have the right to speak for her first wife and concubine. She cannot decide whether to go or stay, so she refuses to express her feelings.

Jin Da knew that Bi Lian was very pertinent, but he could not help but blame her for being ruthless. After letting the three of them leave.

Jin Da sighed to Xu Hao, "Of the three people, the first one who is not stable is Bi Lian, the first one who is stable is Luo, and the first one who is stable is Luo, and Mo is still between the two."

Xu Hao asked, "How can I see it?"

Jin Da explained: "Bi Lian is my girl, the youngest, I am still alive now, so she can say this. What kind of kindness can I remember when I die? And Luo is the oldest and a wife, how can I not be ignorant? Although Mo has given birth to a son, he will probably not remarry immediately. He has to wait until his son leaves breastfeeding and leave it to the aunt before he can leave. Alas! I know that they are young and beautiful and can't stand loneliness. Fortunately, they are still kind to me. If I expected it, the first wife would stay."

Xu Hao couldn't quite understand and said, "While saying that he couldn't stand loneliness, he also said that he had feelings and righteousness, but I don't understand."

Jin Da smiled bitterly and said, "My nephew means that Mr. Luo will not propose to remarry immediately. At least he has to wait until the mourning period is over. His son does not need to be nurturing and will only plan to leave after he has fulfilled his duties. During this period, Mr. Luo is widowed at home, and even if he wants to marry, he will not be able to say it. When the dog grows up and the concubine is about to get married, she is just older and her appearance has declined. Even if she does not have the intention to keep her, she has become a must-be defender. Therefore, the nephew predicts that she can raise my son in the future, and the person who can let Mo follow her to keep her chastity must be her."

"Some truth." Xu Hao stopped speaking. He could understand Jin Da's hope. If he had hoped that his woman would be able to keep her chastity, but he could also understand the idea of ​​a woman remarrying.
