313, Jiangbei living immortals

"How much hatred, in my dream last night. It is also like the old time to travel to the garden, the car is like flowing water, the horse is like a dragon, and the flower moon is in the spring breeze. ”

It is said that since the Yejia manor was burned to ashes by a fire, and was forcibly coerced by Gu Xitian, the "King of Xizhuang", the young and old of the Ye family were forced to leave their hometown and go to Ye Guobin, the eldest brother of the old lady Ye in Xuzhou.

However, the so-called "Seon lost his horse, how can he know the blessing and the curse?" It is also just like what the Chu thinker Lao Tzu Li Er said in the late Spring and Autumn Period, "Blessings and misfortunes lurk; Woe is a blessing. Although the old and young of the Ye family burned down the magnificent Ye family manor in a "fire and man-made disaster", they escaped the catastrophe caused by a flash flood!

If it is God and God's will that caused the people of Yahwa to avoid this flood, it is better to say that it is the reaction of the "matter" above the world of the "universe". Of course, the "matter" mentioned here includes "people" and "things", and people's impressions, thoughts, thoughts and actions are precisely "material reactions"; And the "fires and man-made disasters" in the manor of the Naye family, the "departure from the well" and the "flash floods" of the Ye family's old and young people are also the "reactions" triggered by the "material" and "movement", and the various "reactions" made by this troubled "troubled times". Whether it is between "matter" and "matter", or within "matter" itself, it can be said that there is no "reaction" of matter at all times. Where there is "matter", there is "the motion reaction of matter", and they are complementary and eternally one. However, the "reaction of matter" will generate new "matter", that is, new people, things, and things can be generated; This process of "material reaction" is also the stage of violent "movement" from "quantitative change" to "qualitative change" of "matter", and it will gradually enter a "relatively stable" dynamic equilibrium. It is precisely in accordance with this "eternal" "specific law" that the Ye family has been able to temporarily settle down in Xuzhou City, one of the ancient Kyushus, after a change of "land migration and time shift".

It's not bad, the flowers bloom richly, and the fallen leaves have to return to the roots. Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. Ye Guowen's big family cleaned up the old, weak, sick and disabled, and finally merged with the eldest brother Ye Guobin's family, who was thousands of miles away. Moreover, the two families are adjacent to each other, Ye Guowen is based on the West Courtyard, Ye Guobin is based on the East Courtyard, and the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard are connected one after another, and they are in harmony.

Speaking of this Ye Guobin family, it is an upper-class family in Xuzhou City; Even the first household in the city, the richest man deserves it. Let's talk about this Ye Guobin first, he is already an old minister who has experienced the third generation of the Tang Dynasty. He once served as the national prince sacrificial wine and the host and guest lang of the Tang Dynasty, the Zhongshu Sheren and the prince and the young master of the Tang Zhaozong, and the servant and scholar of the Ministry of Tang Aizong. It can be said that the official fortune is prosperous, and the clouds are soaring. Although he is now in retreat, he is also a fertile mansion and a prosperous family, and there are nearly a hundred slaves alone, and the rest can be imagined. Moreover, although Ye Guobin's descendant Liu is over seventy years old, he is still as healthy as ever. The old couple also has three sons and three daughters, and they are-

Eldest son: Ye Jialin, then the governor of Xuzhou. Wife: Jiang Ruoyun; Concubine: Bai Qiushuang.

Second son: Ye Jiasen, the history of Wenzhou Thorn in Jiangnan Dongdao. Wife: Zhong Yuehong; Concubine: Yao Lizhu, He Xiaomei.

Young son: Ye Jiaquan is one of the 11th Taibao "Suo Ming Taibao", one of the "Eighteen Taibao" in the palace. Wife: Zhao Yunxia.

Eldest daughter: Yelia. Husband: Yanzhou Thorn Shi Wei Chi (Chi) Zhou.

Second daughter: Ye Junnan. Husband: Sima Chengfeng, the staff officer of Huainan Jiedu, the second brother of Sima Qiufeng, the head disciple of the Huashan faction.

Girl: Ye Lanqing. Husband: Huang Chongyang, the prince's guest.

This is only the general situation of Ye Guobin's family, but it can be said that this family has children who are young and orderly, and they are famous and prosperous. This is not an exaggeration, Ye Guobin is the eldest son of his father, Ye Zhengtai. He has two sisters: the eldest sister Ye Guolian, the second sister Ye Guocui; There are two younger brothers: the second brother Ye Guowen, and the third brother Ye Guofa. It is difficult to compare the family situation of Ye Guobin's two brothers. The second child, Ye Guowen, has four sons and three daughters under his knees, but now he has broken legs, separated children, broken arms, and two daughters were tragically killed by the surname Gu, which can be described as an incomplete and tragic family. However, the law of the third country is even more incomparable, and since he went to Chaozhou when he was young, there is no information. Although the eldest Ye Guobin and his two elder sisters had sent their families to Chaozhou to inquire about the whereabouts of his third brother, it was always to no avail. Maybe he has changed his name and surname and will never return, and his family situation is unknown. Therefore, the two brothers, Ye Guobin and Ye Guowen, have no way of knowing the news of their third brother Ye Guofa, and their descendants do not need to talk about each other. Unless one day, Ye Guofa personally comes to the door to find his brother, and the Ye Da family can be reunited with the "broken mirror" at that time!

The inside story of Ye Guobin's family will not be detailed for the time being, and it has been more than two months since Ye Guowen's family moved to Xuzhou from Bashu East Road. During this period, Ye Guowen and his brother Ye Guobin discussed the relocation of the ancestral tomb of the Ye family to Xuzhou, and also sent his family to Bashu East Road; However, it has been a tragic flood there, and the ancestral tomb and field house of the Ye family have long been sunk in a vast sea. Therefore, the two brothers, Ye Guobin and Ye Guowen, decided to order the stonemasons to re-carve the three tombstones on Pingyang Gang and the other two tombstones of their relatives at the eastern foot of Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou. These five tombstones are:

Among them, the tomb of the "ancestor of the ancestors" is the combination of the state guest, the national language, and the national law of the nephew of Yetulai, and the country of his grandson. The reason why he is called "Ancestor Ancestor" instead of "Ancestor" is because of his nephews and grandchildren. From this point of view, Yetuyun is a son and three grandchildren, which is the appearance of "many grandchildren and many blessings"; And Jetulai is a son and a grandson, and it is a single lineage. The tomb of the ancestors of such a generation of Ye family once fell on the Pingyang Gang in the east of Bashu, and now under the auspices of the two brothers of the state guest and the Guowen brothers, it will be glorified again on the bank of Yunlong Mountain.

However, the two old brothers, Ye Guobin and Ye Guowen, knew in their hearts that their descendants would know about this grave move. It is a pity that the third brother Ye Guofa, who does not know where he is located, cannot participate in this matter, and it is even more difficult for him and his descendants to know that his ancestral tomb once fell in the eastern part of Bashu and has now reappeared at the eastern foot of Yunlong Mountain outside Xuzhou. This cannot but be said to be something that Ye Guobin and the old brothers Ye Guowen regretted day and night in their lifetimes. However, "the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows." The two brothers, Guobin and Guowen, believe that one day, their brotherhood will bring his children and grandchildren and their descendants to pay tribute to the ancestral grave of the Ye family on the same day.

November 2, on the east bank of Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou.

At this moment, I saw Ye Guobin, who was dressed in a long robe and green robe, standing solemnly in front of the ancestral tomb of the Ye family. Beside him was Ye Guowen, who was on crutches on his left shoulder; The following are Ye Guobin's eldest son Ye Jialin, as well as Ye Guowen's eldest daughter Ye Jiazhen, eldest son Ye Dongsheng, one-armed second son "Flying Dragon" Ye Jinfeng, and fourth son Ye Tianyun, followed by some wives and concubines and servants and Ye Jinfeng's four sworn brothers Wu Tianba, Ouyang Qingfeng, Zhang Yunhai and Sun Kexing.

However, a discerning person can see that in addition to the absence of Ye Guobin's three daughters, his second son Wenzhou Assassin Shi Ye Jiasen and the young son "Seeking Life Taibao" Ye Jiaquan are also reasonable and not here; And Ye Guowen's third son, Ye Wuwu, is thousands of miles away, and there is no way to know. Since he went to Beijing for the test, he has not returned, and his family has been worried all day long. Although the "Flying Dragon" Ye Jinfeng later saw the harmless side of the third brother Ye in the Jingshi ring "across the sea", but he then broke into a catastrophe and was chased and killed by officers and soldiers, and his life and death were already unpredictable.

However, the third son, who misses his hometown all day long, has no way of knowing about it. Ever since he saw his home turn into ruins and oceans, he had felt hopeless about whether his family was still alive. However, he was unwilling to give up - before he saw the bones of his family, he was determined to find them and reunite with his family again! But this is just the harmless inner wish of the third prince, and now he is "in the big inside, and he can't help himself", and he may have gone to Chang'an Avenue in the capital with the "open tomorrow" in his mind-

"Brother Guowen!" I saw Ye Guobin at this time and said in a heavy voice, "You also saw it!" Now it's just you and my brother and my family who come here to pay homage to the grave. As the eldest of the three brothers, I really hope that the three of us brothers can pay tribute to our ancestors here during the Qingming Festival next year! But the brothers of the law of the country have left you and me, and they still refuse to return to recognize each other, I really don't know what it's like in my heart! ”

Hearing the old brother's sad words, I saw Ye Guowen on crutches and said, "Brother State Guest! You don't have to be too sad, everyone has their own aspirations, so let him go! If he still has the ancestors of our Ye family and our two old brothers in his heart, it is enough for him to come here to have a look. ”

"Alas! ......" I only heard Ye Guobin sigh and said worriedly, "But the third brother doesn't know that we have moved the ancestral tomb here!" ”

Ye Guowen heard his brother Ye Guobin's worried words, so he said casually: "Now that you and I are already living in Xuzhou, and the ancestral tomb has also moved here, after a long time, how can the brothers of the national law not know the reason?" ”

"That's right!" Ye Guobin said with a little reflection: "I think he ran away from my house and never returned. At that time, due to the poverty of his family, his family was mean to him. But he didn't know that I had been living here, but he hadn't been here for more than 40 years. And your sister-in-law and I sometimes think of him, and we can't help but cry! ”

"Yes! Brothers have not seen each other for more than 40 years, how can it not be sad? Now that I think about it, the brothers of the national law are already two out of sixty. And I remember that he was a tiger! ”

"Not bad!" Ye Guowen thought back to the past and said: "Brother Guofa is four years younger than me, and he was born in the Year of the Tiger. His name was given to him by his father, and I remember it very clearly, and I will never forget it! ”

At this moment, I saw Ye Jialin take a step forward and say, "Father, uncle! It's getting late, so we're going home! ”

"Oh! ......" saw Ye Guobin wake up like a dream and said, "Yes! It's time for us to go back. Get the family back! ”

So, after Ye Guobin and Ye Guowen bowed to the ancestral tomb three times with their families, they began to walk to Xuzhou City together.

However, just as they were walking on the side of the mountain in groups, they saw an old man in Tsing Yi holding a flagpole walking in front of the Yangyang mountain road. In the middle of the mountain road, the old people have gradually narrowed the distance.

In fact, the old and young of the Ye family had already seen it from a distance and clearly, and saw that the old man in Tsing Yi was holding the flagpole in the palm of his hand with five big characters floating - Jiangbei Living Immortals!

As the old man in Tsing Yi floated in, he only listened to the "Du! Sincere! There was a sharp shout from the knocking sound: "Fortune telling!" Fortune telling! One counts the sky, the second counts the earth, and the third counts fame, wealth and profit. is not for wine-colored wealth, and it is not for people's children. Only teach the king to be auspicious, and it is difficult for the fool to escape. I know that yin and yang are good and bad, and I am good at feng shui qi. The heavenly scriptures are hidden in the belly, and the world has a bag of human affection. If you draw my bag and win the lot, you will be called a living immortal. ……”
