The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Uncle Xu has always been kind to Ji Heng, and Ji Heng is also grateful for his kindness to him. I remember that when I was a child in Yangzhou, Ji Heng had no father, only uncle, and for Xu, he had no husband, only elder brother.

But now when Ji Heng heard him say that he was "neither male nor female", there was no disgust in Uncle Xu's tone, he was just saying a fact, and this fact was just to threaten his son, but this Still deeply hurt Ji Heng, because his flaws were brought out by people who cared and loved him.

There was no way for him to hate Uncle Xu, so he was only sad, and he was a little dazed.

After being sad, he also regained his sanity and had the mind to think about the problem.

It seems that uncle Xu told his aunt Qin the secret of his body, but he doesn't know when he told it, maybe it was recently, maybe it was a long time ago.

And Xu Qilang also knew the secret of his body. This was probably known recently. The reason may be that Xu Qilang was unwilling to get married, and he told his parents what he wanted. Uncle Xu used his body to make him change his mind. To make his son have grudges and prejudices against him, to dilute his feelings.

Although Uncle Xu didn't show any prejudice against his flawed body, in his heart, he really didn't regard himself as a normal man, and he had always had flaws.

Compared to his own son, his nephew with defects is indeed nothing.

Ji Heng took a deep breath, and heard the singing on the stage, "The man wants to create that earth-shattering career, and learn how to turn the universe around and turn the Milky Way upside down to wash the sun."

Ji Heng was stunned for a moment, and found that the stage was already singing Beijing opera, and he didn't know when it started. Maybe when he came back, he was already singing Beijing opera, but he didn't pay attention just now.

The southern opera just now was tactful, but the northern opera at this time is sonorous and powerful. Mrs. Qin likes to listen to southern opera, but Mr. Ji likes to listen to northern opera.

Ji Heng settled down in the libretto of "turning the Milky Way upside down and washing the sun".

No one can turn the galaxy against the sun, but this heroic spirit allows him not to care about his physical defects.

In Uncle Xu's words, there are actually many potential things that can be pondered. Ji Heng knows that the Xu family has its own secrets and will not share them with the Ji family.

The Xu family and the Ji family formed a strong alliance because they were relatives.

When businessmen do business, there are people in the court who are easy to handle. Sometimes an opportunity can determine the rise and fall of a family. Moving to Guangzhou and gradually starting overseas trade was also due to Master Ji's cooperation with the Xu family at that time.

The Xu family's huge family business was originally because Uncle Xu invested in the right investment and found the right person, Mr. Ji, but the Xu family's success today is also because Uncle Xu is very good at business and has a vision. .

Mr. Ji's current status in the officialdom is due to the right time, place and people, and everything is related, but the money Uncle Xu provided Mr. Ji at the beginning is also crucial.

The Ji family is a scholarly family. Although Mr. Ji's parents died early, the quality of life was not high at first, and everything depends on himself, but the power of the clan behind him cannot be underestimated.

Being rich and having a clan background, being able to do things and be a man, this is the most important reason why he came to power.

The Ji family and the Xu family, because of these various interests, formed a strong alliance at the beginning, and both have developed very well.

But after more than 20 years, everything is subject to change, let alone an alliance formed because of interests.

Master Ji has become a cabinet minister, and the emperor has his eye on the Xu family, which is as rich as an enemy. At this time, Master Ji naturally wants the Xu family to restrain himself, which is good for his career; but the Xu family is already such a giant , How could it be possible to obey Lord Ji's words again, and naturally act out of one's own interests.

As a result, the Xu family and the Xu family have a deeper relationship, and now there is a gap between Mr. Ji and the Xu family. It is inevitable that there will be conflicts between the Xu family and the Ji family.

Everyone knows that these contradictions naturally make the undercurrents turbulent, but on the surface they are still friendly relatives.

From Uncle Xu's words, Ji Heng understood that the Xu family should be doing other important things without telling the Ji family, but he didn't know what it was, even Xu Qilang didn't know what it was.

Ji Heng guessed, feeling deeply worried.

Country and family affairs are naturally much more important than his physical affairs, because they are related to the fate of many people, and before these, he himself is too small to be ignored Never mind.

Uncle Xu brought Qin Shi and Xu Qilang back to the stage, because it was late, so he asked Ji's family to move to the next room for lunch.

Ji Heng's face has already returned to normal, but Brother Ying is still young and wants to hide his thoughts, but his eyes flicker. When asked by Mr. Ji, Brother Ying said that it was not comfortable to go out and blow the wind. So after lunch, Xu asked the servant girl to take Brother Ying to take a nap in Xu Qilang's room, and let him drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold before going to bed.

Fearing that Ji Heng would feel uncomfortable if the wind blows, Xu made him drink some ginger tea.

Ji's family stayed at Xu's house for a day, and went back after dinner in the afternoon.

Xu Qilang must have been severely beaten by his father, he was very silent all afternoon, just sitting silently opposite Ji Heng, and the two of them were absent-minded when they played chess, Ji Heng let him have six pieces, and he could lose a mess.

When sending Ji's home back, Xu Qilang sent Ji Heng to the gate all the way, and even wanted to follow Ji Heng's carriage back to Ji's house, but Ji Heng drove him out of the carriage and said, "It's the Chinese New Year, what's wrong with you?" Well, you are already an adult, don't be so childish anymore."

Xu Qilang looked at him deeply, took his hand and shook it, and then said goodbye to Master Ji in the carriage, got out of the carriage, and watched Ji's carriage go away before turning around go back.

For Xu Qilang, the youth he spent in Ji's family was the most innocent and happiest period for him. After growing up, all kinds of realistic pressures will make him remember this period more deeply in his heart, and I am afraid that he will never forget it. Forget, never forget, and those who have been looking forward to and admiring in this period, because Ji Heng was so beautiful in his youth, and because Ji Heng was so beautiful in his youth, Ji Heng will always maintain the beautiful appearance of this time, never Change.

The so-called first love is like this.At that wonderful time, I met a wonderful person.

Xu Qilang returned to his yard, sat in front of the chessboard where he played chess with Ji Heng, and tears fell down unconsciously. After returning home a while ago, he always felt that everything in his life had changed and became strange , became unacceptable, but he had to accept it, adapt to it, and even have to shoulder such a huge Xu family. Just like Ji Heng, he no longer had the qualifications to be willful and childish.

After knowing Ji Heng's physical disability, and knowing why he was so young and mature since he was a child, Xu Qilang knew that his heart was actually getting old at that moment.

He loves Ji Heng so much, but he never thought about how painful Ji Heng was when he was a child, what he carried on his body, how painful and difficult Ji Heng was to accept that his body was different from ordinary people.

He didn't do anything for him.

Xu Qilang's thinking like this is actually unacceptable.

When Uncle Xu told him about Ji Heng's physical disability, he just wanted to tell his son that Ji Heng still did such an excellent job under such circumstances. He never gave up on himself, nor did he become cowardly. He is two years older, but he is still a mischievous child. He has no right or qualification to say that he wants to be with Ji Heng.

Ji Heng has to bear the burden of the Ji family, and he, Xu Qilang, also has the burden of the Xu family.

He is not qualified to be weak and playful.

It's not okay to say that you want to be with Ji Heng.

Xu Qilang shed a burst of tears silently, took away the chess pieces on the chessboard in tears, and then felt that he had to cheer up.

He had to prepare well for the Chunwei exam. If he couldn't pass the Jinshi exam, he had to go back to Guangzhou with his father.

During the Spring Festival, there are all kinds of trivial things that make people busy. It has been busy until the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and the court will start to do things. During the Lantern Festival, the emperor was not stingy. Officials from central Beijing entered the palace to receive the banquet, and those who held the title of Duke and Marquis were also invited to enter the palace. Apart from them, the clans staying in Beijing were also invited, including even the nephews of these nobles in Beijing.

Because the empress dowager has been placed under house arrest, and this Lantern Festival, the emperor also said that she was ill and could not meet those foreign wives. Therefore, as for the female relatives, the foreign wives only entered the palace for Concubine Xu, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shao. Ann, there was no dinner, so I went back.

However, Concubine Xu left Xu Xuan's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and Xu Guiren to talk in the side hall while admiring the lanterns. Naturally, it was very uncomfortable for Concubine Xian to stay there. Go to Duanyang Palace.

Originally, Mrs. Xu was supposed to bring Fifth Sister into the palace, but Fourth Aunt was just an aunt, and she had no imperial orders. Without the emperor's permission, she was not allowed to enter the palace to see the concubine Xian. On this day, Mrs. Xu used the excuse of poor health Without entering the palace, the fifth sister, a little girl, naturally couldn't enter the palace either, that's why the concubine Xian and her natal family didn't see her. In Duanyang Palace, she was so bored that she dropped a teacup, thinking that Mrs. Xu must not have come to the palace on purpose.

When she was in the palace, she secretly passed on all the news to Mr. Ji, but her natal family treated her like this.

The first is not to mention Fourth Aunt's identity, and the second is that during this kind of festival, they do not enter the palace to see her, making her a joke by Concubine Xu and Concubine Shao.

And after Concubine Xian left, Concubine Xu, her nephew, daughter-in-law and niece had a lot to say, and Mrs. Xu has always had a stupid mouth, so she said directly at this time, "Looking at Concubine Xian's appearance, you can tell that she is very angry. , she is a concubine, the mistress of the Ji family. I heard that she was very disapproving of her entry into the palace at the beginning. She was selected into the palace only because of her younger brother's favor, and it was only because of her younger brother's kindness. The eldest prince born to Chong and his younger sister has only become a virtuous concubine. I have no ability. I heard that she wanted to raise her mother's status, but she offended the mistress of the Ji family. Now the mistress of the Ji family will not enter the palace directly. Here it comes. This is really a direct slap on her face. Seeing that she didn't see her mother's family, her face turned black, and I'm afraid she can't do anything about the mistress of Ji's family. That's Ji Heng's mother, haha ..."

Xu Guiren smiled happily, as if she had completely forgotten the fact that she was also a concubine. She was able to enter the palace at first because her younger sister was young. It didn't work at all, my sister died, and I didn't even win over my child to take care of me.The Xu family was also extremely disappointed in her, so Xu Xuan's daughter-in-law, Wang Shi, said directly, "Although Concubine Xian has an ugly face, at least she has a pretext to take care of the eldest prince."

The words "Eldest Prince" made Concubine Xu and Xu Guiren's expressions unhappy, and Wang said again, "Auntie, how can the prince born to the Xu family's daughter be raised by the Ji family's daughter."

Concubine Xu naturally meant the same thing, Xu Guiren nodded and agreed, "Yes. I don't know what the emperor thinks, instead of giving the eldest prince to me to raise, but to her to raise him."

Concubine Xu and Mrs. Wang ignored her, and instead thought deeply.

Xu Guiren was not willing to be lonely, so he said again, "I heard people say that although the emperor often goes to the concubine Xian, he never stays overnight. Ji Heng has only been back from Jiangnan for a long time, but he has been kept by the emperor several times. According to news from Qinzheng Hall, the emperor invited Ji Heng to stay in the palace for one night last year, and there was blood everywhere on the bed. Although the emperor said that his hand was bleeding from an injury, the maid who took care of him secretly said that he looked like a virgin. Where's the blood?"

Concubine Xu felt that this was the old Huangli calendar, and she had nothing to say, even the Wang family said, "Everyone knows about the emperor and that son of Ji's family, but no one dares to say it now."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang even smiled and said, "This palace banquet, because you can bring your nephews into the palace, it is said that there are several adults who specially want to bring beautiful young people from the clan. It’s so good, there are already people in the court who want it, and my husband is very angry every time he talks about it."

Xu Guiren has always been unfavored, so everyone said that the emperor is good at the concubine, which relieved her family pressure of not being favored, so he laughed, "The emperor does not plant dragon seeds in the harem, and the women in the harem will not be able to give birth. When a son is born, the eldest prince born to my sister is the most precious."

Concubine Xu then made a concluding speech, "It is still necessary to bring the eldest prince back from Ji's daughter to raise him."

Compared to the deserted Bixi Hall, the Fengxiang Hall is very lively.

This time the emperor did clearly say that the ministers could bring their nephews into the palace, so that Ji Heng could enter the palace in a legitimate way.

In fact, Ji Heng didn't want to come to receive this palace banquet at all. Spring is coming soon, and he still wants to make some preparations, which is always good.

But the emperor specifically asked the eunuch Shangji Mansion to let him enter the palace, so he couldn't do it if he didn't come.

He is a little afraid of the emperor now, not because of his identity, but because of his personality. The emperor knows his secret, and he always wants to talk to him in front of him. This is really something Ji Heng can't do. He just wanted to escape, but he was limited by his status and couldn't escape.

Ji Heng knew that he was not ruthless to the emperor, but he was not in love with men and women like the emperor. If he could repay the emperor's love with talent, loyalty, and diligence, that would be his ideal state.

Ji Heng returned to the capital from Jiangnan, not many people had seen him, so as soon as he appeared in Fengxiang Palace this time, the ministers and their descendants who were talking in groups were reminded to pause for a moment , or looked at Ji Heng openly, or looked at him secretly, and some looked at him with disdain. Anyway, everyone was affected by him for a while, and then they started to go their own way again.

After all, Ji Heng is just a kid, and he maintains such a relationship with the young emperor. All the arrogant ministers will rely on their own status and will not let themselves pay special attention to him.

However, those who have paid attention to Ji Heng have to admit that this person is indeed a dragon and phoenix among men, with the calmness and demeanor of his father Ji Ge, and the beautiful face that is hard to beat even a good girl. She has a noble temperament like the moonlight outside the palace.

With such a person, it is no wonder why the emperor was fascinated by him.
