I rewrote family history

Chapter 3 Candy
……

"Filial sons and grandsons, kneel—"

A loud shout sounded from the ancestral hall of Xujiapuzi.

The ancestral hall was refurbished five years ago, and they are all brand new tile-roofed houses.There are three archways in front.One is the chastity archway, and the year cannot be tested.The two are memorial archways for meritorious service, which are Juren and Xiucai archways.All are built of stone pillars.The former is from the Kangxi period and covered with moss, while the latter is a scholar from the Daoguang period and is still half-new.

Passing through the screen wall of the ancestral hall, you can see the filial sons and grandsons kneeling at the entrance of the main hall.

There are about 20 people dressed in hemp and filial piety.

The people watching from behind were also a huge crowd.

The cry was so shrill that it made people cry.

The steward Zhibin who presided over the funeral looked thin and had a goatee. He recited a few sacrificial words from time to time, and the withered white braids hanging behind his head covered by the melon cap also swayed, which was very interesting.

After the sacrificial oration was finished, the steward Zhibin put the civilized stick by the altar, bent over, and brushed off the incense ash on his long-sleeved satin shirt.

"Wake up!"

he shouted.

The howling filial sons and grandsons restrained their crying.

Young and strong carry the coffin!

Help the coffin for the old and the weak!
"In front of the Hall of Filial Piety, a spiritual coffin is set up, and the guardians hang on both sides of the altar. First, Marshal Zhao, the black tiger, raises the whip to cut off the pass to ensure safety."

"The guards of the door gods are divided into left and right, and the treasure chests are guarded in 28 places. This is not a place of rest, the dead should go to the west."

Steward Zhibin was chanting a mantra while throwing yellow paper money.

A fox's head poked out from Xu Er's stupefied chest, watching all this.

This is the day when Mrs. Xu of Xujiabaozi wakes up.

Limited by the knowledge of Xu Wazi and Xu Erlianzi, he was invited to be the fairy queen of the Bao family, and communicated with them, and it was impossible to know the time at this time from the words.I dare not communicate too much, for fear of missing the stuffing.

It can be seen that after seeing old master Xu wake up, he understood the date of this time.

At the end of Qing Dynasty, the second year of Xuantong.

"That's the young master." Xu Cong opened his eyes wide, looking at the middle-aged man who was supporting the coffin.This half-sized boy has smooth and fair skin, black and white eyes, and is as cunning as a fox. He wears a small cotton hat, a cotton jacket, and a silk dress. He wears a two- to three-inch-sized gilt around his neck. Golden longevity lock.

Yes, when the old master Xu died, the young master asked for leave from the foreign school.

"Shuwen, when the coffin is buried, don't go to your child's house, lest you get evil spirits."

When walking out of the ancestral hall, the master who carried the coffin said to the young master who carried the coffin.

Xu Shuwen was separated from the coffin-carrying crowd, he paused, walked into the crowd, dragged Xu Erling to the corner of the ancestral hall, "Brother Erleng, this is chocolate, foreign candy, very sweet, sold by foreigners. You can only find them in dim sum shops."

When he opened his hand, there was a black lump in the palm.

The time to hold it was tight, and the corners melted a little.

Xu Er's throat twitched, and he took a step back.

He wanted to eat this foreign candy, but he didn't dare to eat it, and he didn't dare to ask for it.Although the young master bestows gifts, it is common for him to accept them.But as a tenant, he has to know the rules.The young master doesn't know anything, it's the young master's business.He can't be ignorant.Otherwise, Xu San'er will be punished.

"It's quite sweet." The young master broke apart the foreign candy, half of it for him, and half for Xu Er's fool, and stuffed it into Xu Er's fool's mouth, "If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, my father won't know."

Young people's friendship is often pure and without self-interest.

Xu Er stunned his teeth and giggled. His teeth were black and covered with foreign sugar.He carefully licked the small pieces of foreign sugar stuck to the tip of his teeth with the tip of his tongue.I dare not eat too fast.

He doesn't know the price of foreign sugar, but it will definitely not be cheap.

At least... it would give him several good meals.

The steamed buns mixed with bran and flour make my throat hurt and I can't get enough.

"Master, let me show you something."

Xu Er swallowed his saliva in a daze, and pulled off the light yellow sackcloth tremblingly.The one in my arms is a fairy fox, a Baojia fairy, so don't mess with it.But he was grateful, in the past, he took the young master with him to catch fish and shrimps in the mountains, this time the young master gave him foreign candy, and he should let the young master see this fox fairy because of the situation.

It should..., it shouldn't be a big problem.

He wasn't sure.

"Look, is there a fox here?"

"This is my fox fairy."

Seeing that the young master's eyes were full of doubts instead of surprise, Xu Er was stunned for a few breaths, raised his voice, and said emphatically.

"Brother fool, what kind of fox fairy is there, you are talking in your sleep."

The young master frowned, "Besides, I don't talk about strange powers and spirits, or about fox fairies, but the worldly ignorance. The gentlemen of the school Gezhizhai taught us physics, chemistry, and the principles of the world. There can be no ghosts in this world."

Ge Zhi, Investigating things to gain knowledge, means to seek knowledge by thoroughly studying the truth of things.

In modern times, basic science is also called Gezhixue.

The young master has become a stranger.

It was as if there was an invisible thick barrier separating them.

Xu Er stared blankly at the fox's head protruding from his arms, feeling helpless and hesitant, his raised voice became a shameful replay in his mind, over and over again.

……

Hospital bed.

Xu Cong closed his eyes, and a few remaining tears secreted from his lacrimal glands.

He opened his eyes and glanced at his great-grandson who was accompanying the hospital bed, "Hao'er, grandpa asked you why some people can see ghosts and others can't."

He is old, and his mind turns very slowly.

Even though I have learned knowledge and culture in the new era, I am limited to being able to write and read a few miscellaneous books.He can't even operate a cell phone.Naturally, he is not as good as the young man in the new century, the great-grandson Wu Hao in front of him.

"Grandpa, this thing, if you believe it, it will work, if you don't believe it, it won't work."

Wu Hao, who has read all the articles on the Internet, talked about these things in a clear way, "Some people are born with rich life and strong luck. Ghosts can't get close, so they can't see ghosts. Some people are born with low life and good luck It is gray and white qi, sickness qi, the three fires of the human body are dimmed, so ghosts can get close..."

heard here.

Xu Cong understood.

The young master is rich and honored, and he has learned foreign languages ​​and drank foreign ink.So I can't see him as a fox fairy.As for Xu Erlianzi and Xu San'er, their lives were low, and ghosts and gods could get close, so they could see him, and invited him to be the guardian fairy.In addition, it may be because he was invited by Xu San'er and Xu Erlian to be a Baojiaxian, so only the two of them could see him, but the young master couldn't see him.

"Hao'er, grandpa wants to eat chocolate, do you have any?"

Xu Cong asked, remembering the sweetness of the tip of his teeth.

Wu Hao casually took out a small piece of Dove chocolate from his jacket pocket, packaged in a plastic bag, with a silky milky taste, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, why do you want to eat this?"

Older people, in his impression, eat a lot of dry steamed buns and drink a lot of porridge.No matter how bad it is, it is Camellia oleifera and oatmeal.It is rare to see old people eating chocolate.

With the smooth and sweet taste, Xu Cong felt as if he had returned to the past. When he was a teenager, he exhaled, "Hao'er, don't look down on grandpa. Grandpa also ate chocolate 110 years ago."

"What?" Wu Hao stopped the hand that was throwing the chocolate plastic bag into the trash can, and he looked at Xu Cong in astonishment, "Grandpa, how could there be chocolate more than 100 years ago."

"That's the chocolate the young master gave me..."

Xu Cong told the story.
