Chapter 688: Worship Your Parents
"It's better to do this, the children's books, paper and pencils, from the workshop. This is a big deal in the village, and we big guys should also do our part. What do you think? At this time, Grandpa Li waved his hand and motioned to Yun Xue not to say it first, and he said it himself.
Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Zhao and others nodded at this time, "Okay, this is good, I think it's good." That's it, the children's pen and paper books are all out of the workshop. ”
Yun Xue heard these elders say this, and she didn't say anything else. In fact, in this workshop, Yun Xue still accounts for more shares, and there is no big difference from Yun Xue's money. It's always for the good of the children, no matter who pays for it, as long as it can get the benefits for the children.
"Well, that's it. Uncle Zhao, the location of the school has to be decided by you. As soon as the materials and other matters should be entrusted, I will entrust them to Brother Yun Zheng and Brother Yun Zhang. The desks, chairs and other things used in the school are also made by them. As for this labor, Uncle Zhao led the people in the village to do it when he got it. ”
"We don't have much time in the village, and when the school starts, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back. Everything, please big guys. Yun Zhen saluted to everyone.
"It's done, it's easy to do. Yun Zhen, don't worry, there are our big guys here. Whether it's an ancestral hall or a school, you don't have to worry about it, just keep it well. Father Qianru nodded hurriedly in response.
Now that the matter has been decided, Yun Zhen has no thoughts. He had already discussed with Yun Lei, leaving Yun Lei to live at home for a while. After the parents' mausoleum is repaired and the ancestral hall is built, let Yunlei go back to the capital. Yun Lei don't look at his young age, this kid has a belly of ghosts, and he does things very properly, and no one needs to worry about it at all.
This happy event made the big guy happy. So, everyone inevitably drank together again.
The Han family wanted to build an ancestral hall, and after the news of the construction of the school hall spread, the village was fried. The big guys are all talking, and most people are amazed by the Han family's move, but some people say that the Han family is inviting people to buy people's hearts.
Of course, those people who say this are basically those ones. are all those who covet other people's prosperous lives and hate that they haven't been able to take advantage of the light. But no matter what they say, others simply ignore it. This kind of thing is fair and easy in people's hearts, and there is no need to be like them.
The days passed day by day, and the Han family had guests visiting every day, and it was very lively every day. Yun Xue took a break and went to Hanyu's house in Sixteen Ditches to visit Hanyu. Hanyu's life is indeed good, and Jiang Yonglin has nothing to say about Hanyu.
Seeing that her good friends were living comfortably, Yun Xue's heart was also happy. She sat at Jiang's house for a while, and then hurried back to the village. There is still Shen Fang at home, that little thing makes trouble, and no one else can coax it.
The third day of the third month of March is the Qingming Festival.
Early in the morning, the brothers and sisters of the Han family, with a lot of offerings, incense, candles, paper horses and other things, came to the grave of Han Yong and his wife on the East Mountain.
Everyone still has pickaxes and other things in their hands, and when they go to the grave during the Qingming Festival, they always have to add some soil. Several people worked together to add a lot of new soil to the grave, and added it to the places that had been dented by the wind and rain.
After that, Yun Zhen took the lead, Yun Ting and Yun Lei helped from the side, and the three brothers set up offerings in front of the grave, and then lit a bouquet of incense. In the midst of the cigarettes, Yun Zhen and others began to burn paper, gold and silver ingots and other things.
"Father, mother, my son has come to see you. This time, His Majesty ordered us to return to our hometown to worship our parents. Father, mother, we have all grown up, and we are all considered to be outstanding, if you have a spirit in the sky, you will be happy for us, right? Your two elders should bless the children and grandchildren of the younger generations, and they will be safe and prosperous. ”
Yun Xue and Shen Hongjun, Yun Ni and Yun Lin, also stepped forward at this time. "Dad, mother, our sisters are all married. This is our uncle, your second elder's son-in-law. When her daughter got married, she was in the capital, and she couldn't give her father and mother the grave to report the good news, so this time she brought her husband to come with her to worship the second elder. Yun Xue said a little sadly.
"Dad, mother, I'm Yunlin. The second elder raised me to grow up, and I will never forget this kindness. Yunlin was originally the son of the second elder, and now he is the son-in-law of the second elder, and the son-in-law is like half a son, so I am still the son of the second elder. Yun Lin took half a step forward, looked at the name on the tombstone, and whispered.
The wind in early spring is still very strong, rolling up pieces of paper ash, like butterflies flying gently. The brothers, each with a wooden stick in their hands, turned the paper little by little, so that it all burned through.
When all the paper was burned and Yun Zhen took the lead, everyone knelt down and kowtowed in front of the grave.
Qi Changan and Qi Hu also followed, and at this time they carried two buckets of water and poured them on top of the paper ashes. When the spring breeze is big and the weather is dry, we must pay attention. If there is still a spark left, it is very easy to cause a fire, so be careful.
They stood up and stood in front of the grave for a while, and then they took their belongings and turned around and went down the mountain.
"Yunlei, you remember, the grave of your parents is still in place, and you are not allowed to move its position. It doesn't need to be made of stone, just keep it the way it is. Just put the back close to the hillside and build a slope protection with stones. It also saves the rain in the summer, which is too heavy and washes directly to the grave. ”
On the way down the mountain, Yun Xue instructed Yun Leidao, "Replace the tombstone, just find a stonemason to carve a stone tablet." It doesn't need to be too big, and it doesn't need to have a lotus flower or something underneath, the simpler the better. Remember, do what I want, you know? ”
The three Yun Zhen brothers were a little puzzled, "Eldest sister, why?" We're not short of that amount of money now, so why don't we build my father's grave better? At the very least, it should be built with bluestone, right? The tombstone should also be tall and dignified. ”
Didn't they just come back to worship their ancestors and repair the tomb, if it was according to Yun Xue's meaning, would it still be called repairing the tomb? They are now rich, and it is also the good relationship that their parents formed back then. It's just a grave, and if this is also saved, it's not right.
Yun Xue sighed, "You guys, you're still young, and you've experienced too little. This tomb is not easy to move, and if it moves, it is easy to break the earth's qi. Besides, it seems that it is good to look at the mausoleum to be very gorgeous, but in fact, it will suppress the earth's atmosphere. If the earth's qi is suppressed, future generations will not prosper. That's why I don't let you touch your parents' graves, but just clean up the surroundings. ”
The Yun Zhen brothers were stunned for a moment, they hadn't heard of this kind of statement yet. "Sister, are you telling the truth?"
"When you go back later, you can go and ask Master. You don't believe my words, but you have to believe Master's words, right? Yun Xue shook her head, these things can only be seen through by old people, and she has heard others say it in her previous life.
The three brothers of Yun Zhen had some doubts in their hearts, those who were officials, after they became rich, they all wanted to return to their hometowns to build mausoleums for their ancestors. Aren't they all luxurious and how to repair? There are many mausoleums made of marble, white marble, and other things. How did this get to the mouth of the eldest sister, it turned out to be such a set of rhetoric?
Shen Hongjun, on his side, agreed with Yun Xue's words very much.
The mausoleum of the ancestors of the Shen family was actually built very simple and simple. Thanks to the fact that someone has always maintained it over the years, otherwise, I am afraid that it would have been out of shape a long time ago. Shen Hongjun was still puzzled before, but later he heard the old man say that this was the last words of the ancestor of the Shen family before his death.
A heroic man like the ancestor of the Shen family, but he left such a last word when he was dying, thinking about it, it still makes sense. "Yun Zhen, listen to your eldest sister. The ancestral tomb of our Shen family is not so gorgeous, it is very ordinary. ”
Yun Zhen was stunned, he really didn't think that for a meritorious family like the Shen family, the ancestral tomb would be ordinary and simple. "Okay, just do what the eldest sister says. Yunlei, you have to remember, you must remember. ”
Since the Shen family and other century-old families don't make a fuss about the mausoleum, then they really don't need to be too public. If, as the eldest sister said, it suppresses the earth's qi, then it will really be self-defeating.
"Okay, I see. When the time comes, I will definitely do what my eldest sister says. By the way, eldest sister, if you re-erect the tombstone, will you have to wait until the Midyear Festival? "Yun Lei has always complied with Yun Xue's words, and this time is no exception.
Yun Xue nodded, "Yes, it needs to be done until the Midyear Festival." Erecting a monument is also a major event, and it is easy not to move it on weekdays. Generally, only the Qingming Festival, the Midyear Festival, or the first day of October can be done, and at other times, you must not move. ”
While speaking, everyone returned to Han's house. Yun Ting really didn't believe what Yun Xue said just now, so he hurried into the courtyard and went to Dong Lao to ask for clarification.
When Dong Lao knew what Yun Xue said at that time, he couldn't help but nod and said with a smile, "Yun Xue still knows more, that's right, what your eldest sister said is right." The affairs of this mausoleum are all major events, and if one is not done well, it will destroy the original atmosphere. ”
"There used to be a saying that a man became a big official and then went back to his hometown to build a grave for his grandparents. The tomb was later built with a very atmospheric atmosphere, and it was all built of white marble. However, not long after the tomb was repaired, their family's life began to fall little by little. ”
The official was puzzled, so he asked the master, and the master said that when he repaired the mausoleum, the repair was too valuable, and he suppressed the earth's qi. When the earth's atmosphere is suppressed, future generations will not prosper. Dong Lao stroked his beard and began to tell them the story.
The three brothers of Yunzhen looked at each other, it turned out that what the eldest sister said was true. It seems that they really can't build a large number of graves, so let's do what the eldest sister said.
