Character evaluation

Xu Xiaoke was extremely filial. Whenever the Emperor invited a banquet, he never ate anything, but took the food home to support his mother. On weekdays, they are vegetarians, hold Bodhisattva Precepts, and recite the Dharma Sutra day and night. When he was a "Minister of the capital", there were often ghosts in the government. At dusk and night, there were strange sounds and lights for no reason, or people came out of the well wearing clothes and hats, and people who lived in the government often died. Later, Xu Xiaoke lived in them for two years, and the monsters' cataclysm stopped. Everyone thinks that it is the result of Xu Xiaoke's true integrity. not only that, in order to support his biological mother, he once sold his wife to Kong Jingxing, Hou Jing's minister. (on the surface, it was Kong Jingxing who forcibly robbed him), and used all the grain and silk he got to support his biological mother. He became a monk himself. On the one hand, he ate free food in the temple. On the other hand, he went out begging for his mother. After Kong Jingxing died, his sold daughter-in-law came back to him and said, "things in the past are not negative." Probably also moved by his filial piety. Xu Ling, an important Minister of the Chen Dynasty, was Xu Xiaoke's elder brother. He lived in Shizhong and Zuo Guanglu. He was the founder of Jianchang. Naturally, he was a slave and servant. His four sons were also in high positions. Xu Xiaoke, however, has a strong family, so he can't avoid hunger and cold. If he is a senior official, he will not have to worry because his mother wants to eat a bowl of rice. Xu Xiaoke's filial piety is full of bitterness, which makes people sigh. The two brothers were born of the same father, but they were so different and different
