The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Winter seems to have come overnight. The leaves have not been blown away by the autumn wind. After a snowfall, the branches become bare.

Xie Erli taught his son how to read and read every day, and occasionally went to Zhu's and Pei's houses to sit there. Life passed quickly or slowly.

On New Year's Eve this year, another little beggar came to the corner door.

The letter was handed to Zhu Qing. Zhu Qing glanced at it in a hurry and sent it to the uncle's study in person.

His left leg is still disabled, and it always hurts on cloudy and rainy days. Dr. Pei gives him acupuncture every half a month, but he doesn't know if it can relieve it.

Xie Erli took the letter, and there was a line written on the letter: On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I worship my ancestors and offer incense to my ancestors and father for me!

"Stinky boy!"

"Who are you scolding, brother?"

Xie Buhuo stood at the door of the study, wearing plain clothes and a slender figure.

Xie Erli waved to him.

The third child took away the excitement of the first house, but also made the relationship between the eldest and the second house gradually become harmonious.

Firstly, my father is dead, and my mother and Aunt Liu have nothing to argue with;

Secondly, the Xie family's property is managed by the second son, but it depends on his connections with the Zhu family in the officialdom.

Xie Buhuo walked into the study.

Zhu Qing stepped back and closed the door.

Xie Erli unfolded the small paper, and Xie Buhuo glanced at it lightly, his eyebrows arched.

It was only after his father passed away that he realized that he had such a smooth journey in the mall. In addition to his father's official position, he also had the role of his eldest brother and third son in the officialdom.

People always understand what they did wrong and what they missed after losing something.

In fact, what's the point of competing for the title of a concubine? There are only three sons in the Xie family. How can a single tree become a forest?
He handed over the ledger in his hand and said, "Brother, this is the general ledger for the whole year. Take a look."

……

Worship ancestors on the first day of the lunar month and lanterns on the fifteenth day of the lunar month.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the Spring Festival of the second year of Taikang slipped by quietly.

On the eve of the Qingming Festival, the entire Xie family went out to visit the graves of their ancestors and masters.

Just at this time, good news came from the north, General Bu won another battle. Xie Erli looked at the beaming people on the official road and was sincerely happy.

I heard from Zhu Qing that General Bu and Lao San are closely related, and this matter must be written in his letter to Lao San.

Yes, since the first day of the ancestral worship, Xie Erli would record all the big and small things around him, put them in envelopes, and lock them in a drawer.

He believed that the third child would come back one day.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. When the time comes to take out the letter, he will not need to elaborate on every bit of the past. The third child will know everything just by looking at this letter.

After visiting the grave and returning home, everyone was extremely tired.

Wu went to bed early, and Xie Erli waited for her to fall asleep before returning to the room.

At night, he was sleeping deeply when he was suddenly woken up by Mrs. Zhu, "Uncle, listen to what the sound is?"

Just then, the voice came again.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

Xie Erli was frightened out of his wits by the sound of the bells.

……

In the second year of Taikang, on March [-]th, at the ugly moment, the new emperor suddenly died.

Third child, do you dare to believe it?
I didn’t dare to do it anyway, my heart is still pounding even now.

He has only been in charge for a year!
Now the whole city of Sijiu City is under martial law, and there are imperial guards and imperial guards outside. No matter whether they are princes, nobles, civil and military officials, or ordinary people, they are not allowed to go out.

This kind of martial law may last for three days.

The eldest brother is like a headless fly at this moment, buzzing without knowing where to fly. He thinks to himself that it would be great if dad was still here, if only you were still here.

Dad is in the cabinet, so he should be called into the palace to discuss many matters.

You are in charge of public security in the five cities, so you can get some information.

The prince should be on his way back to the capital at this moment. He just hopes that he will ascend the throne smoothly and not cause any more trouble.

……

The third youngest, the prince successfully ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Jingping.

I don’t know when this news will reach you, but I think the day when you return to Beijing is not far away.

Uncle Pei also looked excited when he came to the house yesterday.You and Ming Ting have been close friends since childhood. Now that he has ascended to a high position, he will naturally not forget you two.

I didn't dare to say this to anyone, I just felt happy in my heart.

……

Third child, today the late Emperor has a funeral, and your Uncle Pei is going with him.

Thinking that it is always a matter of monarch and minister, I walked to the gate of the city together with the people.

Although the late emperor reigned for a short time, he was deeply loved by the people, and many people burst into tears.

When I was at the gate of the city, I met your sister-in-law's eldest brother.

He said that he had calculated a divination for you this month. The hexagram was still auspicious, but there was an inauspicious position. I asked him where the inauspicious position was, and he said it was in Sijiu City. He also said that the inauspicious position in Mingting was also in Sijiu City. .

These words made my heart skip a beat.

How come the Forty-Nine City is your unlucky position?

Obviously you were both born in Sijiu City and grew up in Sijiu City?
Although Yuan Mo is no longer in Qin Tian Prison, there is always a long queue of people asking him for fortune telling. I should always believe in his predictions.

By the way, he said that he would move his family back to his old home soon, and he said that the capital city might also be his unlucky position.

If your sister-in-law knew about this, she would burst into tears.

……

Third child, today your Uncle Pei came and said that he was promoted to the head of the Taiyuan Hospital.

I saw that there was no trace of happiness on his face, so I asked him what happened?

He sighed and said he missed Ming Ting, and that he hadn't received a letter from Ming Ting for a long time.

I did a rough calculation and found that it had been more than half a year. The last letter you sent home was the day I visited the graves of my ancestors and my father.

You said in your letter that you and Ming Ting were married. When I went to the grave, I told my ancestors and father about this happy event for you.

If they love you so much, they will always be happy for you.

Uncle Pei also brought news that the war was a victory and the Bu family army would soon return to the court.

……

Third child, today is the day of mourning for my father. After 27 months, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The second brother and the younger sister are getting older year by year, and the marriage has been delayed for so long. According to your sister-in-law's wishes, it must be done quickly.

Your little sister is still obedient, but the second brother didn't know which muscle was wrong and said he wanted to wait for another two years, which made me want to beat him.

Another big event happened today. I went to the Hanlin Academy for vacation, and my boss said that the Ministry of Etiquette asked me to go there and make me a doctor.

Promotion to second level?

Third child, the eldest brother was promoted because of your friendship with him!

By the way, a man named Han Xu sent a basket of Taiwanese mushrooms to his house at night. He dropped the things and left without leaving anything behind.

Your sister-in-law said it was you who sent it, and she also said you must be on Mount Wutai.

I asked her why she was so sure, and she said that Taiwanese mushrooms can only be picked in the mountains of Mount Wutai, and she had eaten them during her fast.

He also said that Mount Wutai is only four or five days’ drive from the capital, so why don’t you bring Miss Yan back to have a look?
Your brother's heart hurts just by what she said!
At this moment, your Uncle Pei came again, holding several pieces of paper from the Heart Sutra in his hand, saying that he found them in Taimo.

I quickly flipped through it and pulled out a few pieces of paper from the bottom.

What was copied on the paper was the Purana Sutra, and I recognized it. It was Yan Sanhe's calligraphy.

Tears welled up in your sister-in-law's eyes, and she choked with sobs and said: You and your wife are praying for your ancestors and father!
Your Uncle Pei also shed tears silently.

Heart Sutra - Mingting and his wife wish them peace and longevity!

As soon as your Uncle Pei left, Manager Xie suddenly knelt down in front of me and said he wanted to burn incense in Mount Wutai.

Do you think I don't know this old thing's heart?
Burning incense is fake, but looking for you is real.

Since you left, this old guy has become thinner and older day by day, with several layers of wrinkles appearing on his face.

I know that while others are in Xie Mansion, my heart is with you.

Especially after knowing that you and Miss Yan are married, he will not be able to stay in this house.

He wiped away tears when he drank, and babbled to Zhu Qing that he would take care of your child for you, and that he had carried you on his back since you were a child.

Stop it!
Zhu Qing can now take charge of his own business, so let him do as he wishes.

Third child, if you really want to have a child, don’t forget that he is from the generation of Xie Jiahuai, so be sure to have the character Huai in his name.

I'm sorry everyone, I haven't stopped writing. I'm afraid it will take two more chapters to explain everything clearly and wrap it up. I was sure it would be finished by the end of September, but now I'm disappointed. (End of chapter)
