Chapter 68 The Hidden Family Xu Family
In front of the team, the horse stopped with a "whoosh" and the driver respectfully asked the escort, "Master escort, are you from Kyoto?"
Liu Mingjie said yes.
The servant asked again, "Is the Xie family from Kyoto here?"
"Which Xie family are you looking for?"
"Is Xie Anfeng here?"
Liu Mingjie said, "I knew it," and turned to look at Xie Anfeng who was eating: "Looking for you."
Xie Anfeng put down the bowl and said, "I am Xie Anfeng. May I ask who you are?"
"Are you my cousin?" the servant shouted excitedly into the car, "Master, I found my cousin."
The car door opened, and a young man came out first, supporting an old man.
The young man was wearing a snow-white straight-collared robe and a wide belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern around his waist. Hanging on the belt was a piece of extremely fine black jade, which looked rough in shape but was simple and dignified.
The old man was still in good health, with a wisp of beautiful beard hanging down on his chest.
Xie Anfeng was a little confused and did not move forward.
"Excuse me, who are you?" He really didn't know this person.
Xu Xiangpu walked up to him quickly, looking at the tall and majestic Xie Anfeng, who also had some silver hair on his temples, and suddenly burst into tears: "Feng'er..."
The young man hurriedly supported Xu Xiangpu and said to Xie Anfeng, "Uncle, this is my grandfather. My name is Xu Wenrong, and my father's name is Xu Huanzhang."
Xie Anfeng looked at the two of them blankly. His mother's surname was Xu. Was she a relative from his maternal grandparents?
The old man walked forward with tears in his eyes, held his hand tightly, and said with a sob: "You are Feng'er, and you look very much like your mother... Your mother Xu Zhiyan is my biological sister, and I am your eldest uncle."
Xu Xiangpu is Xu Zhiyan's biological brother and Xie Anfeng's biological uncle.
Xu Huanzhang was the eldest son of Xu Xiangpu and the cousin of Xie Anfeng.
Xu Wenrong is the eldest grandson of Xu Xiangpu and the cousin of Xie Anfeng.
Xie Anfeng was a little excited, but he still said honestly: "They all told me that my uncle had passed away."
"Xie Jinrong, Shen family!"
Xu Xiangpu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Originally, the Xu family had a mansion in Kyoto. Later, Xu Xiangpu and his family left Kyoto, retired to their hometown, and never had any contact with Kyoto again.
When Xu Xiangpu left Kyoto, Xu Zhiyan had already passed away and Xie Anfeng was only three years old.
Xie Anfeng immediately knelt down and saluted Xu Xiangpu.
Xu Xiangpu cried so hard that he hugged him with tears streaming down his face.
"After your mother passed away, I went to Wuyi Marquis's Mansion to see you. Your father and stepmother said that you were too young to remember your mother, and that if we went to see you, we would make you sad."
"Later we went to see you many times, but we could only watch you from afar," Xu Xiangpu said crying.
Later, when he heard that the title was not passed on to Xie Anfeng, Xu Xiangpu went to the marquis's mansion to argue with Xie Jinrong.
After a disagreement, the two sides started fighting, and Xie Jinrong simply forbade them to see Xie Anfeng again.
"There's not much I can do. I can only send you a batch of silver and clothing every year on your birthday. A few days ago, the imperial edict was delivered to Suizhou, and I have been asking about the route you traveled."
The ancestors of the Xu family had produced two imperial tutors and three prime ministers. After the Han Dynasty, there were wars and conflicts in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The Xu family avoided the world and lived in seclusion in the mountains of Suizhou, and never took up official positions again.
Even if the Xu family declined, a small Wuyi Marquisate could not compare to them.
It was just that the old Marquis Wuyi had saved the life of the head of the Xu family, so he promised Xie Anfeng's mother Xu Zhiyan to Xie Jinrong.
Who would have known that the Marquis' Mansion was full of filth and that Xie Jinrong was worse than a beast.
After Xu Zhiyan got married, they found out that Xie Jinrong had already had illegitimate sons and daughters with Shen. No matter how angry the Xu family was, they could do nothing about it.
Fearing that Xie Anfeng and his stepmother would have a hard time, the Xu family would send someone to deliver a considerable sum of money to the Marquis' Mansion on Xie Anfeng's birthday every year, specifically giving it to Xie Anfeng as child support until he got married.
However, Xie Jinrong and Shen had always told the Xu family that Xie Anfeng didn't want to see them and hated the Xu family.
Later, the Xu family found out that Xie Anfeng had joined the army. The Xu family had gone through some things and was gradually declining. With Xie Jinrong's obstruction, they completely cut off contact.
Song Lingling couldn't help crying, "The money that my uncle gave to my father-in-law was all fed to the dogs."
Only then did Xu Xiangpu realize what Xie Jinrong and Old Mrs. Shen had done, and he was so angry that his hands were shaking.
Thinking that Xie Anfeng's family would be exiled to a wild land because of Xie Jinrong and his illegitimate son, Xu Xiangpu cried so hard that his tears wet his collar, and Xie Anfeng's eyes also turned red.
"Feng'er, your uncle is sorry for you and your mother." Over the years, due to the alienation between people with ulterior motives, the family has become estranged.
Xu Xiangpu had a good impression of Xie Ning's brothers and sisters, but looking at Xie Yanyan, his only niece, who was cold and unruly, why did he feel that she was not easy to get along with?
Jiang Shuang immediately became a licker, very enthusiastic, and extremely respectful to Xu Xiangpu. Xu Xiangpu thought that although she was a little petty, she was also respectful, and he had a good impression of her.
"Feng'er, please go south. I will discuss with your cousin. Since you have done nothing against the law, the Xu family will use all its strength to restore your freedom."
[Emperor Xuanwen asked Huanzhang to assist the crown prince several times, so he agreed.]
[Let Huanzhang assist the crown prince in exchange for Fenger's family's freedom]
Looking at his grandfather's expression, Xu Wenrong knew that his grandfather wanted his father to enter officialdom, so he agreed to be the Prince's tutor, the future imperial teacher.
He smiled and said, "Grandfather, leave it to me."
He was a famous talent in Suizhou. He was only 20 years old, but he was already well-versed in classics and his talent far surpassed those officials in the court.
Xie Yanyan listened to Xu Xiangpu's thoughts without raising his eyelids, and suddenly said, "Don't make any other plans for now. There's no rush to get out of this crime!"
Xu Xiangpu was puzzled.
Xie Anfeng immediately explained to Xu Xiangpu: "Yan'er changed the straight-beam plow into a curved-beam plow a few days ago and presented it to His Majesty, who was very happy. The prince came in person to announce the decree, and His Majesty gave us generous rewards. We have no worries about food and clothing at present. Yan'er is studying papermaking and printing, and the prince said he would definitely help my family get rid of the crime."
Xu Xiangpu was shocked. It made sense that his niece's granddaughter was so rebellious since she had great ambitions.
"My child, you have lived in the backyard for so long, how do you know anything about farming? The news about the curved plow has spread to the court, and it is already being tested. My uncle has also got one, and it is very useful."
The relatives only talked for a quarter of an hour before recognizing each other. Xu Xiangpu was afraid that if they delayed too long, it would be disadvantageous for Xie Anfeng, so he asked the servant to quickly move the things down and give them to Xie Anfeng.
"I didn't know you already had a carriage. I was going to give it to you, but it seems you won't need it."
Silver, clothes, food, and a large box of medicine.
"These are the pills made by Dr. Huang that we have stored at home. They are convenient to carry with you and do not require you to boil them. If you have a headache, fever, or an injury, you can use some."
The things Xu Xiangpu sent were complete and expensive, and the medicines were all good and practical.
Xie Yanyan dug out a set of "Records of the Grand Historian", "Book of Han", "Book of the Later Han", "Records of the Three Kingdoms" and "Book of Jin" in traditional Chinese characters from the space and handed them to Xu Xiangpu: "Uncle, this is for you."
It is probably the Former Qin Dynasty now. These five books are historical records of the past. At present, these materials may be preserved in the royal library, but not among the public.
Even the royal family of the Former Qin Dynasty might not be so complete.
