Lu Dynasty

Chapter 473

Usually, I rarely go to her house except to see what Xu's mother needs, because Xu's mother is always accompanied by Tai Shici's mother and daughter-in-law, so I don't need to be too concerned.When Mother Xu saw me arriving, she asked happily, "Ba Xian, why do you have the time to come and see me today?"

"Auntie, Yuan Zhi wrote a letter! He said that he has accomplished a lot in his studies and hopes to take you to his place!" To be honest, Mother Xu and I have been together for seven or eight years, and I admire this old man's understanding.

Xu's mother smiled and said: "Since my son has succeeded in learning, he should come to Luoyang to have a look. Why didn't he come to see me? If he saw the wealth of Sili, he would definitely stay and help Baxian. Could it be that Baxian has already I arranged a job for him, and it was arranged far away, otherwise why would he pick me up and live with me directly! Could it be that he wants to ask Ba Xian for the mansion after he has made great achievements?" Mother Xu thought that Xu Shu had already arrived My subordinates wrote a letter just to give her a surprise!Now that Xu Shu is promising, his mother will naturally be very happy, and she can't wait to let everyone in the world know, so her voice is getting louder and louder!
I looked at the excited mother Xu with a wry smile and said, "Auntie, Yuan Zhi doesn't like us as a businessman. He is going to join Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the uncle of the Great Han Emperor! I, Lu Baxian, don't have the good fortune to work with Brother Yuan Zhi, so I'd better ask Auntie to pack up." , I’ll send someone to take you to Brother Yuanzhi!” After speaking, I handed the letter Xu Shu wrote to me to Mother Xu!
Mother Xu felt something was wrong when she heard it. She took the letter from Xu Shu and read it carefully.After reading the letter, Mother Xu asked me coldly: "If you dare to ask Baxian, who is Liu Bei?"

"Liu Bei was born in Zhuo County, and he was a fellow villager of my third brother Yide. He originally made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes. Later, I became sworn brothers with my third brother, and he once recruited us. You know, I am Cai Yong's son-in-law, and It's Yoshiko Ding Yuan, who joined Lu Zhi with Liu Bei, does Lu Zhi dare to take us in? So I rejected Liu Bei, and he went out to travel in a rage, leaving his elderly mother at home. Because of this, I didn't like him very much If you talk about his character, he is quite loyal, and he is quite popular in Jingzhou. He can be regarded as a hero! The emperor Liu Xie of Xuchang once checked the genealogy of Liu's family and called him the emperor's uncle! Yuan Zhi defected If you leave him, you can be considered as defecting to a Ming lord! The only shortcoming is that Liu Bei is still huddled in the small town of Xinye!" I am not Cao, even if I don't like Liu Bei, I can give him a reasonable evaluation.And how could Xu's mother not know who Liu Bei is? I believe that this is just Xu's mother's temptation to me.If I blindly belittle Liu Bei, she will really look down on me.

Xu's mother looked at me for a long time and suddenly smiled: "I knew that Ba Xian didn't like Liu Bei, and I thought you would belittle him. But I didn't expect that you could evaluate Liu Bei reasonably, which shows that I have not misunderstood him! Ba Xian First of all, no matter who Yuan Zhi goes to, I will not leave, I will only stay in Luoyang, I wonder if Ba Xian is willing to take me in!"

"Of course I am willing to keep my aunt, but how will Yuan Zhi reply? I don't want Yuan Zhi to think that I am taking my aunt as a hostage and forcing him to join me!" In fact, as long as Xu's mother decides to join me, no matter how much Xu Shu has an opinion, it will be useless !Historically, Xu's mother was unwilling to let her son follow Cao, and Xu's mother committed suicide because Xu Shu believed a forged letter. Xu Shu would not say a word after entering Cao's camp.

"I will write a letter to invite him to come. If he refuses to come, I will treat him as my son! I don't know if Baxian is willing to take in a widowed old man who lost his son!" I have been under my command for so long, how can I not see that my strength is the most powerful among the princes in the world!Rather than letting my son go to a person who doesn't know his roots, he might as well let him go to me!

"Auntie, I am very grateful for your support, but Yuanzhi is your son after all. I am willing to keep you, but I don't want Yuanzhi to misunderstand me, so I support Auntie's choice. If Auntie chooses to leave Luoyang, I will send you to Jingzhou, if Auntie wants to stay in Luoyang, then please write a letter, I don’t want Yuan Zhi to misunderstand!” I remember that Xu Shu is the most filial son, if Xu’s mother is willing to invite him, he will It will come naturally.However, I just want Mother Xu to write a letter to explain, it's not that I don't send Mother Xu to Jingzhou, but she refuses to leave!

"I don't need to tell you, I know it!" Xu's mother asked the servant to bring the four treasures of the study, dipped it in good ink and wrote on the paper: "Yuan Zhi, my son, lived in Luoyang for several years as a mother. Zhou is getting better every day. I thought that my son would be able to solve problems for Ba Xian when he came back from his studies. I didn’t want my son to learn more and turn back, and he became an ungrateful person! If Ba Xian hadn’t been a few years ago, my son would have died of The hands of others! The ancients said: The kindness of dripping water should be repaid by the spring. He is the master of the world, and he has the grace of life with you. He also supported your old mother for several years, and took your mother as his mother! Great kindness Ruos, but you abandoned him like a clog, I am ashamed to Baxian, if you don’t come to Luoyang, this letter is the farewell letter between you and my mother and son, we will never see each other again in this life! Mother: Mrs. Xu!” Xu’s mother wrote the letter directly Called a servant and said, "Send it to Jingzhou quickly!"

I snatched the letter written by Mother Xu and said: "Auntie can't! How can you turn your mother and son against each other because of me, an outsider! If so, I would rather Yuanzhi misunderstand!"

"How can Baxian be considered an outsider!" Xu's mother laughed: "Don't worry, Baxian. Once this letter is gone, Yuan Zhi will definitely come. I don't think Yuan Zhi will be so ruthless. He must be forced by current events and even wants to give it a try." Try you!" As the saying goes: Know your son like your father, here we need to change it, know your son like your mother.Xu's mother knows Xu Shu's character very well. If there are no special circumstances, even if Xu Shu doesn't want to serve me, she will come back to see my mother!
I looked at Mother Xu and asked, "Is it as Auntie said?"

"That's my son, how could I not know?" Xu's mother was very happy seeing that I attached great importance to Xu Shu.Seeing that Mother Xu was so confident, I asked someone to deliver the letter to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was waiting for news in Jingzhou, when someone delivered Xu's mother's letter to him.Xu Shu was shocked after reading the letter. His mother wanted to sever the mother-child relationship with him because he didn't go to Luoyang!Unfilial piety was a felony in ancient times. Xu Shu was originally a murderer, which has affected his official career. Now that he is accused of unfilial piety, let alone Liu Bei, who is as benevolent as Liu Bei, would not use him. I won't reuse him either!Although the world is big, there is no place for the unfilial.
