Chapter 193 Ningning Pays Homage to the Ancestral Temple
Xie Suzhi did not answer, but only ordered him: "Go and ask the genius doctor Sima Han to prescribe medicine for me."
Xie Mingxu was furious, slamming his fists on the table, looking at Xie Suzhi with red eyes.
"Father!" he shouted, eagerly waiting for an answer.
Xie Suzhi looked at him, but his eyes were always like an unfathomable deep sea.
Although Xie Mingxu had been trained on the battlefield for three years, he was still a young man with a good guessing mind in front of Prime Minister Xie.
"You just need to know that for your sister, your father is willing to sacrifice his life, but the premise is to ensure her safety."
Xie Mingxu frowned when he heard it.
Safety? What does this mean?
However, Prime Minister Xie was obviously not going to say anything more, and his cough became even worse.
Xie Mingxu no longer hesitated and hurried out to find Sima Han.
At the same time, in the palace, in the imperial study.
There were only the emperor and the national teacher.
"Your Majesty, today Princess Funing was burned by incense when she was offering incense to the Goddess of Rain."
"I saw it. Didn't you say that if someone is burned by incense when offering incense, he is not a blessed woman?"
"I did say that, but these words are also rumors left by my master. The authenticity needs to be verified. After all, Princess Funing did bring rain and directly solved the drought."
After the imperial master finished speaking, the emperor pressed his brow with a headache.
"I thought Shen Ningning was the child of the old Xie family, but it seems that the old Xie has hidden his real daughter."
"Your Majesty suspects that Prime Minister Xie is not telling the truth? I think Shen Ningning is the real daughter of the Xie family."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "If it was really his daughter, he would not adopt her as an adopted daughter so ostentatiously. Maybe it was a trick."
The national teacher thought it made sense and said: "After all, the fate of a lucky girl is precious and not everyone has it."
"To save Cangyun Country, we still have to find the child born in the heavy rain that night. Prime Minister Xie's daughter should be the most suitable one."
The emperor also said: "I have sent people to keep an eye on it and also searched everywhere in Cangyun Country. Maybe there is someone more suitable than the daughter of the Xie family."
...
October 15th, a very auspicious day.
The Xie family chose this day to include Shen Ningning's name in the ancestral hall genealogy.
Early in the morning, the servants of the whole mansion were busy preparing the offerings for the sacrifice.
Xie Suzhi even invited the three most senior elders in the Xie family.
Xie Yuanjiu was in her room, trying to figure out how to get into the National Academy.
Mrs. Xie walked in: "Jiujiu, how can you still sit there? Your uncle is going to adopt a daughter!"
Xie Yuanjiu looked calm: "I know."
"You know?!" Mrs. Xie sighed: "Then do you know that once she enters the house, she will become an adopted daughter with a name and surname in the first room, and she will compete with you for a husband in the future."
"You are the child of the second room. When you grow up, if there is a good son, the first room will definitely choose him first. Mother is so anxious for you, why are you not in a hurry?"
Xie Yuanjiu didn't have time to pay attention to her, because she remembered that the father of a lady who was good to her happened to have some relationship with the National Academy.
So, she hurriedly wrote a letter and planned to visit with gifts soon.
Mrs. Xie saw that she didn't pay any attention to her at all, and she immediately became unyielding and took away her writing pen.
Xie Yuanjiu was shocked, and then angry: "Mom! What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Are you going to persuade your uncle? Tell him not to adopt a daughter. You will be filial to him in the future. Say something nice to him. How can he not listen?"
Xie Yuanjiu was almost annoyed by her mother's stupid thinking.
She took a deep breath: "Mom, don't you understand your uncle? Will he take back his decision just because of my persuasion?"
Mrs. Xie was stunned, and thought about it.
"Then, then..." She stuttered: "Then you go and show yourself, let him know that you are better than Shen Ningning."
Xie Yuanjiu's eyes sank: "But, mother, do you know that Shen Ningning is the first in the first class of the National Academy this time."
"What?!" Mrs. Xie was dumbfounded.
That little lucky girl actually has this ability?
Xie Yuanjiu continued, "You said I'm better than her in everything, but I didn't even make it into the top three. The most important thing now is not to please my uncle, but to find a way to enter the National Academy."
"Otherwise, if I don't catch up with her at this step, I will lose everything. What can I do to compete with her? Don't hold on to such trivial matters. Shen Ningning is not my uncle's real daughter. What are you afraid of?"
After being scolded by her, Mrs. Xie finally reacted.
She patted her chest and said, "Yes, you are right. Then you must seize the opportunity. I will ask someone to ask in the name of your father at the National Academy. How about it?"
"No need. Dad has been paralyzed for so long. Others say that they are doing it for his face, but in fact, it is also for my uncle's face. This matter cannot be known to my uncle. I have my own ideas. Don't ask." Xie Yuanjiu pushed Mrs. Xie out.
When it was almost auspicious time, Shen Ningning followed Xie Suzhi and Xie Mingxu and walked into the ancestral hall courtyard of the Xie Mansion.
The whole yard was filled with Xie family members, who looked at the little guy with kind eyes.
Xie Suzhi brought Shen Ningning to the three elders of the clan.
"Ningning, this is the first grandfather, the second grandfather, and the third grandfather."
The little guy saluted obediently: "Hello, great grandfathers."
The three old men all smiled amiably: "Okay, okay, there is a meeting gift we have prepared for you. From now on, Ning Ning will be a member of our Xie family."
"This is your eldest brother, Xie Mingxu," Xie Suzhi pointed at Xie Mingxu and said, "Your second brother is away and has not returned, but I have already written to him. I think he will come back to see you soon."
Just as he said this, a figure swayed at the door of the courtyard.
Shen Ningning looked back and saw a middle-aged man with an elegant but pale face, sitting on a wooden four-wheel chair, being pushed over by Mrs. Xie Er.
Xie Suzhi then said to her: "This is your second uncle and second aunt."
This is Xie Suzhi's younger brother, Xie Dizhi, the second master of the Xie family.
Shen Ningning Nuo Nuo called out: "Hello, second uncle and second aunt, I am Ning Ning."
Tears of emotion welled up in Mr. Xie's eyes, and he kept saying in a less clear voice: "Okay, okay..."
He turned his head and motioned to Mrs. Xie to bring out the meeting gift.
Mrs. Xie reluctantly took out a long brocade box. She held it reluctantly because she really didn't want to give it to her.
But Mr. Xie frowned and snatched it away with all his strength. Then he smiled and kept putting it into Shen Ningning's arms.
When the box was opened, it turned out to be a pair of dragon and phoenix pendants.
"Second brother, why did you give Ning Ning what the late emperor gave you?" Xie Suzhi was surprised.
Mr. Xie said a little slurringly: "This child is good, and it's worth giving her. Brother, I...I'm happy for you too."
Xie Suzhi smiled slightly.
Then, he led Shen Ningning into the ancestral hall and asked the little guy to offer incense to his ancestors.
The lintel of Xie Mansion is high, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as three generations of nobles.
Xie Suzhi looked at the attendant, and everyone saw that the attendant had brought a tablet with the words: Anonymous.
In front of everyone, Xie Suzhi told Shen Ningning: "Ningning, your parents are also kind to the Xie family, but I still don't know their names."
"So, I had someone carve an unnamed tablet, and I have already performed a soul-calling ceremony in the national temple. From then on, I enshrined it together in this ancestral hall, so that they don't have to be ownerless souls, and there will be people there every year, month and month. Worship.”
Shen Ningning was deeply moved: "Thank you, uncle."
The elder of the tribe next to him smiled and said: "My child, let's kowtow. After kowtowing and offering incense, it's time to change your tune and call yourself godfather."
Mrs. Xie stood outside the ancestral hall and looked at the people inside in astonishment.
First, her husband Xie Erye gave Shen Ningning the dragon and phoenix pendants given to him by the late emperor, and then Xie Suzhi welcomed the nameless soul's tablet into the Xie family's ancestral hall.
Crazy, all crazy! Her eyes widened in jealousy.
After Shen Ningning finished kowtowing and offering incense, he took the tea cup from the boy's hand and presented it to Xie Suzhi.
The little guy knelt on the futon and shouted softly: "Godfather."
Xie Suzhi's eyes turned red for a moment, and he hurriedly helped the little guy up.
"Ning Ning, I will make it up to you in the future."
He guided the little guy to kneel in front of the nameless tablet: "Ning Ning, talk to your mother too."
Shen Ningning immediately blinked her big eyes and said to the tablet: "Father, mother, don't worry about me. There are many people who love me now. I don't have to endure hardship anymore. I will strive for my best and be a good child."
As she spoke, she kowtowed three times seriously.
After the acknowledgment ceremony, everyone went to the front yard to have a banquet. Grandma Qin and the Black Wolf King were already waiting there.
Xie Suzhi asked them to leave first, while he stayed to deal with the aftermath.
After everyone left, he took down the tablet of the ownerless soul.
Then, he pressed his slender fingertips on the middle board and pushed it up, and it actually moved!
Behind the so-called Anonymous is actually engraved——
"The Spiritual Position of My Beloved Wife Meditating on My Thoughts"
Yesterday I saw a lot of anxious treasures and asked me not to write about the fact that the Prime Minister's father found a fake daughter. I was so wronged. I have said before that there is no fake daughter in this book. The Prime Minister's father knew who his daughter was from the beginning to the end. Drop~~
