"Ahem! Xuan 'er, come out with me. I have something to tell you ~! "
In the main hall, Li Jingmo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly coughed and said.
Li Zexuan nodded and was about to move when he heard the old man sitting at the top snort, "What can't you say here? If you don't want to say it, I will say it for you ~! "
Li Jingmo turned around and said helplessly, "Father-in-law, it's not that I don't want to …"
"Hmph! You don't need to say more. After so many years, your nature of wanting to save face still hasn't changed. Let me say it for you! "
The old man mercilessly interrupted Li Jingmo again. Then he looked at Li Zexuan and said, "You were sick when you were young and followed Spiritual Master Ling Xu to Mount Longhu to recuperate. There are many things you don't remember. I don't blame you! But you don't have the right to blame me ~! "
Speaking of this, the old man stood up and walked to Li Zexuan's side and continued, "I am Ye Guozhong, and this is your uncle, Ye Huiming. The Ye family has cultivated for four generations and is also a prominent family in Nanyang. Although I didn't have much opinion about family background, I also hoped that my only pearl could find a good husband to entrust her life to.
But I never expected that your father, who was just a traveling merchant and a poor boy, would cheat away my beloved daughter's heart! Being poor is nothing. Although the Ye Family is not a wealthy family, we still have some money to spare. As long as your father is someone who is worthy of being entrusted with her life, seeing that both of them are in love with each other, it is not a big deal even if this old man marries my daughter to him!
But when I first saw your father, I noticed that your father's middle was flat and there was a deep vertical line between his eyebrows. I have cultivated for decades. Although I'm not as good as your master, Spiritual Master Ling Xu, I know that your father's face is the Child-Killing Sword in the study of physiognomy. It's hard for someone with this face to have a son. Even if he does have a son, he won't have a good ending and will most likely die prematurely. At that time, it will be another tragedy of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person ~!
I only have one daughter, your mother. How can I marry her to someone like your father, who curses children? Even if your father's family is rich and powerful, this old man will never marry my daughter to him! But at that time, your mother was already deeply in love with him and was unable to extricate herself. Even though your grandmother and I tried to stop her, your mother still tried to find a way to secretly meet your father.
With no other choice, this old man locked your mother up and arranged another marriage for her. The other party was the son of the Nanyang County Chief. He had a dignified appearance and was quite talented. When your mother found out, she resisted with her life. She didn't eat or drink for six days and six nights. In the end, she fainted in her room! When your father heard the news, he tried to break into the mansion several times, but he was beaten out of the mansion by the servants of this old man!
"Later, the doctor woke your mother up, but your mother still refused to eat, drink, or take medicine. Seeing that your mother's eyes were gloomy, I was afraid that she was about to die. Your grandmother's heart softened, and she begged me to agree to this marriage! How could this old man agree? But if this old man didn't agree, your mother definitely wouldn't have lived for more than three days! In the end, this old man's heart softened!
But because of this, your mother was expelled from the family by the elders. This old man was also angry at that time, so I broke off my father-daughter relationship with your mother. We agreed that we would never meet again! But because of this matter, the Ye Family also thoroughly offended the local Chief. Both sides had constant friction. The Ye Family sacrificed a lot of benefits, and their vitality was greatly damaged. However, in exchange for a temporary peace.
Fortunately, not long after, Emperor Yang was killed in Jiangdu, and the Great Sui Dynasty collapsed. The heroes of the world rose in revolt, and the Central Plains fell into the flames of war. The Chief of Nanyang County died in the hands of a group of bandits. The Ye Family accumulated virtue and did good deeds. They built roads and bridges, and had a good reputation in the Nanyang area. That was why they were able to survive in this chaotic world and gradually recover!
"Your mother gave birth to you many years after your father and your mother got married. At that time, your mother remembered that this old man once said that your father was a jinx. She was worried, so she came to Nanyang with your father and asked to see this old man. She wanted this old man to take a look at your face and examine your body!
But because your mother and father eloped that year, it brought great losses to the Ye Family. Many people in the Ye Family hated your mother, and no matter what, they wouldn't let your father and mother take half a step into the Ye Family. Later, your grandmother couldn't bear it and secretly went out by herself. She met your mother and you at the inn.
After your grandmother returned, she begged this old man again and again, saying that this old man must see you no matter what. This old man couldn't persuade her, so I also went to the inn. But after looking at your face and taking your pulse, this old man only said two words: six years, and then left.
From then on, this old man never saw you, your father, or your mother again! This old man also didn't let your grandmother go to Chang 'an, because this old man knew that you definitely wouldn't live past six years old. Why should I let her go? If she saw too much, when the time came and you died, wouldn't your grandmother be even more sad?
Besides, all of this was caused by your father. This old man doesn't want to see him for the rest of his life! Later, I heard that after you grew a little older, you often fell ill, and your health deteriorated. Your father and mother began to take you everywhere to find a doctor, but all of this was already predestined. Your illness was congenital, so how could ordinary doctors in the world cure you? The facts proved that this old man wasn't wrong back then. Your father shouldn't have been with your mother at all!
But later, even this old man didn't expect that Spiritual Master Ling Xu would take a fancy to you and bring you back to Mount Longhu. But even so, this old man still didn't think that your illness could be cured, so I didn't tell this news to your grandmother. It was better to let her treat you as a dead person, so that she wouldn't be happy about it!
But this old man still underestimated Spiritual Master Ling Xu's ability. He could actually help you go against the heavens and change your fate. Now, your face has already … Eh ~? Your physiognomy …? "
At this point, Ye Guozhong subconsciously looked at Li Zexuan's face. With this look, Ye Guozhong's face suddenly changed. There was shock, and even more disbelief!
Seeing this, Mrs. Li immediately panicked. She walked over and asked anxiously, "Father, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with Xuan 'er's face? "
Li Zexuan also looked at Ye Guozhong curiously. His predecessor had cultivated for eight years. Although he wasn't very proficient in the five Taoist metaphysics — mountain, medicine, fate, physiognomy, and divination — he had dabbled in all of them. As an atheist from the 21st century, Li Zexuan didn't believe in these things at first. But after merging with the memories of his predecessor, he started to believe.
A few days ago, Li Zexuan also stared at his face for a long time, but he was interrupted. Now, Ye Chongyang's expression made Li Zexuan curious. What's wrong with my face? Why does this old man have such a reaction?
