Chapter 430: Unwilling to be buried with Guo Acai
Needless to say, Zhou Yan, the eldest grandson of the eldest house, the genealogy is clearly recorded.
It's far from the city, and people have moved away, so there's very little right and wrong.
The ancestral hall is basically preserved as it is, because Zhou Hanqing moved the entire village of the Zhou family with great fanfare, so many spiritual positions have also been moved, and the spiritual seats from Zhou Hanqing's grandfather's generation have not been placed outside.
The two grandfathers surnamed Gu brought Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan to the ancestral hall, and there were only the spiritual positions of Zhou Hanqing and Yu Fanghua on the incense case in the small room, and the two Gu grandfathers said that no one had come.
If someone asks, they will also say that they are old and do not want to move away, so they will set up a spiritual seat for the lord and the wife, and keep it.
will not tell anyone that the real tombs of Zhou Hanqing and Yu Fanghua are actually here.
Grandpa Gu took Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan to leave the ancestral hall and go halfway up the mountain. Finally, I saw the legendary ancestral tomb of the Zhou family.
A green hill, several tombs like seats, the top of the hill behind the cemetery rises high and convex on both sides, and the middle part is concave inward, like an incense burner.
This is the legendary incense burner pattern, where the ancestors are buried, which is bound to make the fortune of the descendants smooth and prosperous.
According to what Zhou Hai said, they looked for the neem tree, and the grave under the neem tree was Zhou Hanqing and Yu Fanghua's.
However, they found the neem tree, the ground was clean, there were no tombstones, no tombstones, nothing.
50 meters away from that location. There is a stone tablet less than three feet long, and the words on it are extremely simple: quiet.
Liang Xiaonan and Zhou Yan probed their mental power at the same time, and sure enough, there was nothing under the tombstone.
At the neem tree, the two of them went down with their spiritual power, and immediately at a depth of more than three meters underground, they saw the tomb with masonry on the top, two coffins with black paint, and two stone tablets standing at the head of the coffin.
A tombstone is embedded with a black-and-white photo of Zhou Hanqing, a suit, and a big back combed, not like a businessman, like a scholar.
Another stone tablet, on the book "My wife Yu's Fanghua's tomb", the monument erection is Zhou Hanqing.
The photo on the tombstone is a photo of Yu Fanghua when she was young, with deep eye sockets, delicate nose tips, almost perfect face shape, and a strong bookish atmosphere.
It's really off the beaten track, and now there's no real estate and tourist attractions everywhere like in her previous life, and this small fishing village in decline is not much different from the wilderness.
It is estimated that this is also the main reason why Guo Acai and some people do not pay attention to this place.
The two of them kowtowed to the ground in front of the tombs of Zhou Hanqing and Yu Fanghua.
Zhou Yan held Liang Xiaonan's hand and said solemnly: "Grandpa, grandma, this is my object, called Liang Xiaonan, today I will show you the old man, please accept her, like her, bless her, bless her." ”
He said again: "Grandma, we plan to take your dowry first, because Aunt Guo Acai is here, and they will find it sooner or later." We have a secret space that no one else can find, and we took it with us.
We won't waste, we won't waste, and when the time is right, I will take it out and give it to my cousin Chang'an equally, or I will give him the same amount of money. ”
As for Zhou Weiyu, forget it, find your own grandmother to divide the property!
The dowry was in the basement of their ancestral hall.
"Back then, large families in Yue Di married daughters, and ten miles of red makeup prevailed. Grandma's marriage to grandpa is a real ten-mile red makeup, and grandma's marriage has become a strange thing that Yuedi and Modu people talk about. ”
Zhou Yan said to Liang Xiaonan very seriously, "Legend has it that grandma has a lot of dowry, so Guo Acai has always wanted to find it before us." ”
In the cemetery, the two old men surnamed Gu took them to the cemetery without speaking, standing from a distance and watching.
In fact, they were also observing Zhou Yan.
There are more children and grandchildren, and they don't know what Zhou Yan is.
Seeing that they found the address of Zhou Hanqing and Yu Fanghua's coffins with great accuracy, the two were very surprised.
This shows that Zhou Yan is indeed Zhou Hanqing's grandson, and he is his wife's grandson, not Guo Acai's grandson.
After the two of them finished their memorials, they went back again.
"Grandpa Gu, this is my object, Liang Xiaonan." Zhou Yan introduced Liang Xiaonan first, to prevent the two old men from distrusting Liang Xiaonan and not daring to say something.
But Liang Xiaonan still found an excuse and walked away, she and Zhou Yan were not married, these old men can guard the ancestral hall of the Zhou family for decades, in addition to great respect and gratitude, they still have to take into account their thoughts.
Women don't come around to inquire about men's big things, she understands!
In fact, to put it bluntly, she didn't want to be embarrassed.
"Young master, the tomb of the master and the wife is here, except for the two of us, and Zhou Hai knows, no one else knows." The old man said, "Before the master went, he told us that he didn't want to be buried with Guo Acai, so the empty tomb on Zhouqian Island was left to Guo Acai!" ”
Zhou Yan didn't speak, it was normal for rich people in the old days to have several wives and concubines, but Guo Acai was ambitious, and he thought of replacing Yu Fanghua with one mind, and even thought about moving Yu Fanghua's coffin and letting her next to Zhou Hanqing.
The people in the clan disagreed, and in the end she took a lot of money and demanded that she must be treated the same as Yu Fanghua.
The clan reluctantly agreed, and the two coffins were exactly the same, one left and one right, on both sides of Zhou Hanqing's coffin, but under Yu Fanghua, the clan elders secretly added an extra brick.
Even if it is an empty coffin, an empty coffin, they want Yu Fanghua and step-room Guo Acai must have high and low dignity.
In other words, only Zhou Hai and Rong Yongtai know where the property is, and only Zhou Hai and the Gu family know the cemetery.
Rong Yongtai is dead, and Zhou Hai and the Gu family brothers are also dying of old age.
So a few old men are in a hurry! The things have to be handed over to the owner quickly.
Zhou Yan came out of the cemetery and said to the two old men, "Grandpa Gu, I'll go to the house with you to have a look." ”
The poverty of the two Gu grandfathers' families is beyond imagination, and it can be said that they are four walls.
Zhou Yan took Liang Xiaonan's hand and said, "Xiaonan, I want to give them some food." ”
Liang Xiaonan also thinks so, a few loyal servants, consciously guarding the deceased master for decades, the best time and years are in this lonely and desolate place, this affection is as heavy as a mountain.
"Whatever you want, I'll listen to you." Liang Xiaonan said that she didn't lack anything in her space anyway, and even if she lacked anything, she would be able to produce it temporarily.
According to Zhou Yan's request, Liang Xiaonan released a truck from the space, putting 20 sacks of rice, 10 bags of flour, corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans and various grains, as well as a lot of vegetables, dry noodles and the like, and a large truck with a slippery tip.
They went and returned, but Gu Da and Gu Er didn't expect that Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan carried all the food to the stone room with their hands and shoulders.
Liang Xiaonan thought of the seafood in the space, and saw that there was not even a spare vat in their yard, so he discussed with Zhou Yan and put a few wine jars out of the wine jar, and put seafood and river fresh in them.
There are a lot of fish in their space, and if Zhou Yan can build a pool, he wants to build a seafood pool for them and put more fish and shrimp.
Before leaving, Zhou Yan gave them 2,000 yuan each. He decided that in the future, he would pack all the living materials for the two old people, and send food every year.
Before leaving, Liang Xiaonan left them clothes, steamed bread and baked cakes, and steaming Wanjia hanging duck.
There are a lot of things that can be given, but in the summer, when it is hot, if you give too much, it will be bad.
The two old men couldn't help crying, the old man and the young master were both benevolent and righteous.
After sending supplies to the two old men of the Gu family, Zhou Yan took Liang Xiaonan to the ancestral hall again.
Zhou Hai said that Yu Fanghua's dowry was buried under the ancestral hall by Zhou Hanqing before his death.
