Guo Yi's departure is that he saw through people's hearts, so he gave up dealing with the troubles of the world, and chose a path of his own.

After learning of his departure, Zhang Shun also packed his luggage and chased him away, if he could not find him, he might suffer for the rest of his life, he was the only one left in the village who suffered from black heart disease, and he could help him as long as he was a little Taoist priest who had been scolded.

The village still restored the peace they thought it was, and even more excluded Mei Tian's family, and every household posted a yellow talisman from nowhere and pasted it in front of the door, and a gossip mirror hung in the center, with a saying to ward off evil spirits.

This year is the longest time Mei Tian stayed at home, agreed to his father's words, to repair the family tree has been done before he has to resign, for the sake of the prosperity of the people, as a descendant of him It is necessary for him to appear, so as not to be humiliated by unfilial piety.

Since ancient times, the family style and family motto has always been the spiritual coordinate of the blood of the descendants of China, entrusting the admiration and admiration of the sages of the clan, and spurring the younger generations with concise Yixing Jiayan, the family is a carrier of the inheritance of the family style and family motto.

However, this kind of lintel self-esteem has ruined too much good fate, and he thinks that the rules are the knowledge left by his ancestors, and the deviant things are not tolerated, and the things that destroy the door are even more unfilial, Mei's father gave up the family status for his marriage, was driven out, and took responsibility for the family, but left the most unbearable stroke on the family tree, which is really unwilling.

Keeping the last blood connection, in fact, is the worship of that group of old people, in order to complete their filial piety, but also want to see how many of their descendants are still respecting them, for this may be the last happy reunion. But after so many generations, the younger generations don't care so much, and they won't have the kindness they had before, even if they gather together, they are familiar people at a table, and then take a bite, and they may not have any contact again in their lives after going their separate ways, they are just deceiving themselves and thinking that they will revitalize the family with their strength.

The name of the town is Gu Xiao, it is said that more than 1,000 years ago it has been called this name, it is located in the south bank of Jiangcheng, there has been a sentence that Gu Xiao is small, three towers and two pontoon bridges, "three towers" refers to the Huangshan Pagoda in the north of the city, the Lingyun Mountain Pagoda in the east of the city, the Jinzhuguan Pagoda in the west of the city. The pontoon bridge is the east and west rainbow bridge, also known as the upper and lower pontoon bridge, but now only the old site is left, one is destroyed in the soldiers, and the other is destroyed in the water.

The clansmen have been living in this town, so they are self-styled, and it is a great achievement to leave their name here to become the largest family, but in fact, it is just a false appearance, self-deception, except for the old house in disrepair, there is nothing left, and there is a group of old stubborns who think very highly of themselves, including Mei Tian's grandfather.

The rest can also be worth mentioning, in addition to the deep house compound, is the archway in front of the house, it stood here when Mei Tian was born, it fell into disrepair as soon as there was a strong wind and began to crumble, the left layer of processing, the right layer of repair, has been full of devastation, the color of the paint has also fallen, in addition to its age, there must have been no value. In the back, the ancestral hall of the clan was built, which enshrined the ancestors and the descendants of the glorious lintel.

This repair of the genealogy, one is to set up a monument, the name of a generation is included in the genealogy, and then it is to raise funds to rebuild the ancestral temple of the archway, the able to work hard, into the genealogy will be two hundred yuan for one to pay the cost of repairing the genealogy, as the pillar of the family naturally has to pay the cost of construction, everyone has the money to pay, no money to contribute.

For so long, Mei Tian has never set foot in front of the archway, and their family is not allowed to worship, every time his father comes to incense, he secretly comes alone after the New Year's Festival, and he has never entered the ancestral house, but it is the place where he was born, he has heard about the strange things of his birth, and he has asked someone to ask him, but he can't find out why, and he doesn't know why he was born as a ghost boy, and he is deeply troubled by it, implicating the fate of the family, if it is not for his own auspicious people can not enjoy this family.

Jiang Li listened to what he said to see what kind of ancestor was so unsympathetic, and it was clear that there was a mainstay in the later generations, and he had to be forced to become a lost dog, and everyone drove him out, and he was proud of the loss.

Before approaching the archway, a vicious person walked out to block the way to leave, and said in a strange way: "The little girl has a good face, do you know that this is the family ancestral hall, and outsiders are not allowed to step in." ”

Listening to him is as uncomfortable as a thorn piercing into the flesh, and Jiangli is not a good stubble, and no one can stop him from doing what he wants to do: "Isn't it just for others to see?" That's what makes it worthwhile. Who are you, the master will not stop you, why should you? ”

He sneered: "Why should I rely on me to be the master of this family in the future." ”

Jiang Li glanced back at Mei Tian, who had been living in the shadow of the family, he was afraid of being recognized, so he deliberately avoided his gaze, that person couldn't recognize the current Mei Tian, and he didn't have much memory of Mei Tian, but he knew that this person was his second uncle, Mei Tai, the second son of the grandfather's family.

From my grandfather's generation, there were four brothers, named after Jin Yu's good words.

The eldest grandfather has five children in the family, the eldest son Mei Guo, the second son Mei Tai, the third son Mei Min, and the youngest son Mei An, which means that the country is safe and peaceful, and the fourth unsatisfactory gave birth to a girl, so she was named Mei Yu, and the beauty of the wind and rain in Concord.

And the second grandfather is Mei Tian's grandfather, the only son in the family, that is, Mei Tian's father, Mei Zheng, he is the first male born in that generation, if it is not for Mei Tian's accident, it is reasonable to say that he should inherit the family business.

And the most excluded of their family is the second Uncle Meitai in front of him, why it said that he will be in charge of the family in the future, this is not false, in terms of family status, he is the most qualified, his own brother is Mei Tian's eldest uncle Mei Guo, he only wants to do his own business, he left home early in that underdeveloped era to do business, and now he has some assets, and it is not good when he returns to his hometown, it can be said that he is the most generous person in the family to subsidize and help, as long as he needs to spend money, he is never stingy.

However, Erbo Meitai guards the family business of this one-third of an acre, but the times are different, and he can't be a rich landlord like in the past, and he can worry about food and clothing by collecting rent, and now people can work with their own hands, and they don't need to count on the generosity of the Mei family.

If it is a weekday will be separated from the will not be reluctant to deal with him to the end, one day the temper will come up, and the ancestral hall may be demolished when people are unprepared, it can be seen that Mei Tian's lost appearance, his heart is still a little unbearable, and he did not step forward again, the glittering archway seems to be really dilapidated, as fragmented as their family bloodline.

Even if they all recognize Mei Tianlai, no one is willing to accept him, no one will admit that he is also surnamed Mei, here he has an indispensable position, and it is just for him, but for Mei's father, this group of relatives is very important.

The four of them stayed on the edge of the river, across the other side of the house, Mei Mu was preparing dishes for them, when they were not there, the house did not know how deserted, but here was a lively walking relatives, every household was greeting even the relatives who were no longer famous.

Although his heart is not happy, as long as his father is happy, he wants to be close to the people in the clan, so he is happy, and he still accompanies his mother, otherwise he will be lonely at home alone.

The town is only a few miles away from home, and he crossed a bridge to the village, just as he was called by his father when he went home, saying that he was taking him to meet his relatives, Mei Tian was a hundred unwilling in his heart, and he really couldn't accept the strange eyes they cast, he didn't know how much energy his father spent, and he didn't hesitate to spend more money than he should have spent in order to get back together, and he was not appreciated, saying that he was a swollen face and a fat man. But after all, he is a member of the family, since he is willing, others are not easy to object, there are still a few enlightened elders, all say that they are unknown, but after all, this is a superstition, the family is good and has not harmed anything so far, as a grand event to repair the family tree, it should be accepted in harmony.

During the period of repairing the family tree, there will be a family banquet every day, which lasts until the day of the opening of the spectrum, and the banquet is held, inviting marriages, neighbors, and old friends to come and publicize it, which is enough to glorify the lintel.

Willing to accept Father Mei, he naturally agreed to put a place for him at the family banquet, seeing his elated appearance, it was not easy to disappoint his interest, and the task of having dinner with Mother Mei was handed over to Chu Jun and them, the two elders had the same idea, and they had accepted all inequalities since they were kicked out, but his children were innocent, and he couldn't have no roots.

When entering the ancestral house, Mei Tian's heart was full of eight things, saying that he was completely rejected, and it was only because they rejected themselves first, just to find a reason not to care about this matter, after all, he was also a flesh-and-blood person, and it was nothing more than deceiving himself to say that he didn't care at all, and he really needed to be accepted by this group of relatives who resisted their family, not the harmful spirit they said.

There is excitement and timidity in his heart, following behind his father, looking at his back for the first time there is a desire to be protected, and he almost does not dare to look at these relatives in the heart, afraid of seeing their unfriendly eyes again.
