Worshiping ancestors during the New Year is the most important gathering time for every family in the year.

But this year, the Xu family has an extra person inexplicably, Xu Kang. Although he is just a foil in the ancestor worship team, and the only thing he does is follow everyone behind and salute together, but at least no one dares to question him now.

As a member of the Xu family.

This is also thanks to Cai Yong. When Xu Xiang knew that Xu Kang was actually Cai Yong's disciple, his attitude towards him immediately became much closer, and he even prepared a separate house for him in the Xu family. The purpose was naturally to use Xu Kang's

I want to invite Cai Yong to sit at Xu's house.

Xu Kang didn't care about the Xu family's residence, and Cai Yong had no intention of going to the Xu family to meet Xu.

But Xu Xiang's interest did not diminish, and he specially invited Xu Kang to attend this New Year's ceremony.

Originally, Xu Kang just wanted to get a vague identity of the Xu family so that he could find a good family background for himself in the future, nothing more. This seems a bit inexplicable to modern people and unnecessary. But in ancient times, it was indispensable.

link.

Now that Xu Xiang's recognition has undoubtedly confirmed his identity again, from now on, he can confidently tell anyone that he is a descendant of the Xu family in Yingchuan because he has participated in the Xu family's ancestor worship activities.

The ceremony was very complicated, but these were not what Xu Kang had to consider. After the basic tasks were completed, Xu Kang was about to leave, and Prime Minister Xu called him into the inner hall.

There was a kind old man sitting in the middle of the inner hall. Xu Xiang introduced him: "This is your uncle, Shang Shulang Xu Jing. Why don't you pay homage to him?"

Xu Kang was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that no matter how discordant Xu Jing and Prime Minister Xu were in front of outsiders, the ancestor worship activity was an activity that affected the entire clan after all, and neither of them was left out. So it was really nothing to see Xu Jing here.

What a surprise.

Xu Kang bowed and said, "I have met my uncle."

Xu Jing looked him up and down, his eyes lit up, he nodded with a smile and said: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. No wonder he is appreciated by Cai Yong. The Xu family will depend on you from now on."

Xu Kang felt panicked when he looked him over, but he still said, "Thank you for your compliment, uncle."

"Go and tell Brother Bo Chen that I'm going to visit him at noon today. Is he free?"

"Yes." Xu Kang went down inexplicably.

Xu Xiang said with some confusion: "Second brother, you seem to care about this boy very much."

Xu Jing stood up and said, "Treat him well in the future, maybe he can save your life." After saying that, he left Prime Minister Xu's Mansion.

Xu Kang was already familiar with Cai Mansion and went straight to Cai Yong's study without any notification.

There were guests in the study, and it was inconvenient for Xu Kang to enter, so he stood outside the door.

The voices in the room gradually came out, and there were three people. One was naturally Cai Yong, the other was Wei Zhongdao, and the last one should be his elder.

Gradually Xu Kang heard the words, and Wei Zhongdao's elder came to propose marriage.

When Cai Yan challenged Wei Zhongdao in public, he played a zither tune like fairy music, and everyone who heard it couldn't help but stand dumbfounded. Wei Zhongdao was also smart. He knew that he could not surpass his opponent, so he played it in front of everyone.

The harp in his hand matches the sound of the piano.

The harp and harp are very similar musical instruments, and the timbres are also similar. Coupled with Wei Zhongdao's extraordinary talent, the two of them played the harp and the harp in harmony, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they played the harp for three days.

The sound of the piano finally attracted Cai Yong, who was obsessed with music. He was obviously stunned when he saw Cai Yan, and then he praised Wei Zhongdao's talent and let Cai Yan sneak away quietly.

However, Wei Zhongdao also became famous in one day, and his reputation as a talented scholar spread like wildfire.

Wei Zhongdao took this opportunity to visit Cai Yong many times to ask for teachings. After many visits, he learned Cai Yan's true identity.

Then, just like in the play, a talented man and a beautiful woman fell in love with each other. They were both well-educated people, and after confirming each other, they naturally attracted each other.

Therefore, Wei Zhongdao couldn't wait to go home and find his elders to propose marriage to the Cai family. The Wei family knew that he could marry Cai Yong's daughter, so naturally they were unwilling.

Today is the day when the two families agree on a wedding date.

Just when the three of them were chatting and laughing, and were about to hit it off, there was a "bang" and the door was pushed open.

The three of them were stunned, and then Cai Yong laughed and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is my disciple Xu Kang. Xu Kang hasn't come to see Mr. Wei yet."

Xu Kang didn't seem to expect that he would suddenly come in. He was slightly stunned, and then he took a step forward as if nothing had happened and said, "I have met Mr. Wei."

The old man smiled as a courtesy, but there was dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Cai Yong had rebuke in his eyes and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Xu Kang said hurriedly: "Yes, my uncle wants to come to pay homage to the teacher at noon today. Please let me know in advance."

Cai Yong frowned and said, "Your uncle?" Maybe there were outsiders present and he couldn't refuse, but his expression was already clear.

Xu Kang immediately understood what Cai Yong meant and said hurriedly: "This is Uncle Xu Jing, the Minister of Public Affairs."

As expected, Cai Yong's brows widened and he said: "It turns out that Brother Wenxiu is coming, so we should treat him well. Brother Wenxiu is famous all over the world for his ability to recognize people, and I have admired him for a long time. I can see him today."

It's really a rare opportunity to meet. I think you two don't have to leave today. Let's have a meal together."

"It's better to obey orders than to be so respectful." The old man from the Wei family chuckled.

At noon, Xu Jing came as promised.

After the three parties exchanged greetings, Cai Yong introduced Wei Zhongdao. Xu Jing asked a few questions, and Wei Zhongdao answered fluently. Xu Jing could not help but marvel at his profound knowledge. He even called him a "natural talent."

Xu Kang felt more and more uncomfortable after hearing this, so he just drank alone.

Cai Yong was very proud when he heard Xu Jing's comment, so he informed the other party about his daughter's marriage.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jing suddenly frowned and said, "It's just that God's talents are tabooed by God. Mr. Wei may not be able to live a full life."

As soon as these words came out, the banquet felt like a cold wind blowing, and the chill penetrated to the bones.

Xu Jing seemed unaware and drank a glass of wine by himself.

The old man Wei sneered: "I don't know that Mr. Xu can still treat doctors?"

Xu Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know how to see a doctor, but I know how to read fortunes. How can I force myself if my destiny is like this?"

The atmosphere of the banquet became even more awkward. The old man Wei snorted coldly and said, "I suddenly remembered that I had something to do at home, so I left first." After that, he got up and left with Wei Zhongdao.

Cai Yong hurriedly sent him to the door, and Xu Kang followed behind and pretended to send him away, but his heart was already filled with joy.

Xu Jing is really interesting. The Three Kingdoms evaluation of this person as famous but not talented seems not entirely correct. At least he saw that Wei Zhongdao had a short life span. Wait, how did he see that? Could he really

Will it depend on fate?
