Chapter 200 The Descendants of This Burial Will Surely Become Kings, Princes, Generals and Ministers

After an unknown amount of time, no more sound came from the yard.

Chen Daniu, who had been standing outside the gate, opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Wei Yuan left the yard and went to his parents' grave to pay homage.

Before coming, he had prepared a large amount of paper money and sacrificial objects.

Wei Yuan's parents were buried in a valley.

At that time, a Taoist priest who traveled around the world passed by this place and said to Wei Ruyi and his sister who were paying homage to their parents:

"Head resting on the mountain, feet on the blue lake, lying on the hill, gathering the essence of the sun and the moon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, after this burial, there will be kings, princes, generals and ministers, and they will be prosperous for a time. After that, it is difficult to predict the secrets of the world, and it is difficult to predict good and bad luck."

At that time, the two siblings only felt that they didn't know where the liar came from and wanted to cheat them of their money, so they ignored it.

Now Wei Yuan thinks about it carefully, and there are some explanations that make people have to believe it.

As for the so-called unpredictable secrets of the world, unpredictable good and bad luck, Wei Yuan doesn't know how to explain it.

If I meet such a hermit again, I must ask him carefully.

When they came to the hills, Wei Yuan knelt down in front of his parents' graves to pay homage.

Chen Daniu did the same,

"Brother's parents are my parents. How can I stand while you pay homage?"

Wei Yuan smiled and followed him.

After paying homage to his parents, Wei Yuan asked the army to set up camp outside the village that night, and he lived in the old house.

One day later.

In Youyang County, Yangzhou.

Sheng Wei ate at the same table with Changbai, Minglan and others.

As for Old Lady Sheng and the eldest old lady, they chose a quiet place to chat, unwilling to stay with the younger generations, otherwise they might not be happy eating and drinking.

During the meal, Sheng Wei glanced at Minglan, then looked at his two sons, and said earnestly:

"Song'er, Wu'er, have you heard of any major events in our Yangzhou Prefecture these days?"

Major events?

The two shook their heads and said:

"I haven't heard of it. I don't know what father means?"

"I have been discussing academic matters with Changbai these days, and I haven't paid attention to the outside world."

"."

Sheng Wei nodded and said, "No wonder. I heard that a big man came to Guangling County, and all the officials in Yangzhou, including the governor, went to pay a visit."

"It seems that Guangling has never produced any big figures who are all-powerful, right?"

Sheng Changsong was puzzled. Why did his father mention this matter for no reason?

He responded, "Guangling. I seem to have heard from my father that Minglan's uncle was born in Guangling?"

Hearing Changsong's words, Sheng Wei smiled.

While everyone was talking, Minglan had been eating, as if she didn't hear anything outside.

Sheng Wei simply took the initiative to ask, "Minglan, is your mother and uncle's hometown in Guangling?"

Minglan had to put down her bowl and chopsticks for the time being and nodded, "That's right. Before coming here, my mother also told her niece that if she had time, she should go to Guangling County to sweep the graves of my grandparents."

Sheng Wei said, "It should be so."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at a servant behind him.

The servant understood and left for the time being. After a while, another servant came here and bowed to Sheng Wei:

"Master, I heard that General Wei, the loyal and brave earl, went to Guangling to worship his ancestors. It was a big scene. All the officials in Yangzhou went there."

Sheng Wei pretended to be surprised and said, "I was wondering which big shot could alarm so many officials in Yangzhou. It turned out to be the loyal and brave earl!"

Even Sheng Changbai and others were quite curious.

Not long after they arrived in Youyang, Wei Yuan went to Guangling? It was really a coincidence.

It is reasonable for them, the younger generation, to go and pay a visit.

Youyang is not far from Guangling. If you don't rush, you can reach Guangling in a day by carriage.

If you rush, it will take at most half a day.

"Uncle Wei is actually in Yangzhou? We are in Yangzhou, Sixth Sister, do you want to go and pay a visit?"

Sheng Changfeng said at an inappropriate time.

If he didn't say anything, Minglan would pretend that she didn't hear it. When Wei Yuan returned to Liangzhe, she would go to pay homage to her grandparents.

But now that it has been said, there is no way to avoid this topic.

"Well, it's okay to visit, but my uncle has a big responsibility and I'm afraid he doesn't have the time to entertain us."

"It's not too late to visit after returning to the capital."

Sheng Wei shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate. You call General Wei uncle. Now that he has come to Yangzhou, if you, the younger generation, don't visit, you will inevitably be criticized. It's not in accordance with etiquette, Changbai, don't you think?"

Sheng Changbai seems to be a bookworm, but his mind is more flexible than ordinary people. He smiled bitterly and didn't know how to answer.

If they said yes, they would go to visit Wei Yuan, and then Sheng Wei would have the opportunity to meet Wei Yuan.

Sheng Changbai felt that this was not good.

But if they said no, it would be said that they, the younger generation, were ignorant of etiquette.

Minglan seemed to notice Sheng Changbai's embarrassment, and simply said: "My uncle is from the military, and he doesn't care about these customs."

"From the military?" Sheng Wei laughed and said: "That's not right, uncle heard that your uncle is a scholar?"

Minglan sighed inwardly, so no matter what, she had to go to Guangling?

"Since uncle said it's not in accordance with etiquette, then I and other juniors will visit my uncle, and I also have to sweep the graves of my grandparents, so I can't go empty-handed."

"Will you take care of it, uncle?"

This was in response to Sheng Wei's request.

Sheng Wei said with a smile: "Of course, I guess you young people don't know what to prepare."

"It just so happens that I have to go to Guangling to discuss a business, so let's settle this for now."

"When do we leave?"

Minglan said unhappily: "Uncle, you are too anxious. I think my uncle will stay in Guangling for a few more days."

"My niece hasn't been back to my hometown in Youyang for a long time. Some relatives and friends always have to visit. It won't be too late to go in a few days."

Sheng Wei thought for a while and said: "That's good. It just gives uncle a few days to prepare."

With Wei Yuan's current status, he naturally has everything.

Therefore, Sheng Wei needs to think about what kind of gift to prepare to impress Wei Yuan.

"Ming'er, I heard that your uncle has three hobbies? Some say fine wine and delicious food. Others say military books, BMWs, weapons, etc. Which one is it?"

Minglan laughed and said, "Hasn't uncle ever asked my father?"

Sheng Wei's thoughts were exposed in public, and his face turned red. He said, "I didn't have the nerve to ask."

Minglan said, "My uncle once said that he doesn't have any so-called three hobbies. As for what to give, it depends on your uncle's intention."

Sheng Wei was a little embarrassed for a while.

If this gift is not right, it will be embarrassing.

——

Two days later, Wei You, the old man of the Wei clan in Hedong, came to Guangling with more than 30 young men of the Wei clan.

Wei Yuan personally greeted them.

The two met at the old house.

Wei Yuan personally roasted two lamb legs.

The elder of the Wei clan, whose beard and hair were already gray, sat beside Wei Yuan, pointing and saying from time to time:

"It's time to turn it over, or it will burn."

"My dear nephew, your cooking skills are not very good."

"Come on, come on, give it to me, you go and watch."

According to the seniority of Weijia Village, it can be related to the Hedong Wei clan.

It would not be an exaggeration for this elder of the Wei clan to call Wei Yuan his grandson.

Now calling Wei Yuan my dear nephew is obviously to raise his seniority in the Wei clan, which is a kind gesture.

Wei Yuan shook his head helplessly and smiled, saying: "It will be ready soon, just eat it, why are you so particular?"

Wei You took the lamb leg from him, grilled it himself, and said with a smile:

"The only thing in the world that should not be wasted is food and wine. Such high-quality ingredients, grilled like this, will inevitably be wasted."

Then, he talked about something serious,

"According to my nephew's instructions, this time I came here, in addition to bringing some good seedlings from our Wei family who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, I also brought a few elders to take care of your ancestor worship."

"But moving the grave is a big deal, especially the graves of your parents. One of them is a doctor of the court, and the other is the county lord of Guangling. Their graves cannot be moved lightly. We must choose a good day and ask a master to do it."

"I have invited Sanyang Zhenren from Laojun Temple and the abbot of Shaolin Temple. I feel that these are not enough, so I have also invited a great scholar from the Kong family to read the sacrificial text when the tomb is moved. This is appropriate. What do you think?"

Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the elder of the clan had considered it so carefully.

"Duke Yansheng's family was alarmed? Will it be a bit grand?"

Wei You shook his head and said, "Not grand, given your current status, it should be like this."

"Moving the tomb for parents is a big deal. I have asked people to prepare pear blossom nanmu and use this wood to rebuild the outer coffin. As for the original coffin, it will not be moved and will be used as a coffin. What do you think?"

When some powerful families are buried, they have to prepare two layers of coffins.

The inner one is called a coffin, and the outer one is called a coffin.

Wei You was worried that if the coffins of Wei Yuan's parents were opened and his parents' bodies were taken out, they would be damaged. Therefore, he only made the outer coffin.

Wei Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you for your trouble, elder. This is perfect."

Wei You smiled and said, "It's my duty. You can't write two Wei characters with one stroke. We all prosper and suffer together. These little things should be taken care of by us."

After that, he looked at the lamb leg and suddenly cried out,

"I've been talking so much that I'm almost fuzzy."

Wei Yuan laughed twice, "As long as it's edible."

Wei You glared at him, "You're wasting food!"

After lunch, in front of Wei You, Wei Yuan examined the martial arts of the young men he brought with him.

It has to be said that although the Hedong Wei family is slightly weaker than other prominent families, it is not inferior in cultivating future generations.

More than 30 young and strong men, all of them are top fighters.

After examining the martial arts of everyone, Wei You asked with a smile:

"Among these people, is there anyone that my nephew likes? If not, I will look for one in the clan."

Wei Yuan said: "No need, just leave them all here."

Leave them all here?

Wei You was a little surprised and said: "If we leave them all here, will it be too conspicuous?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. We have the final say on the affairs of the southeast. If we don't let others know, then others will have no way of knowing."

Wei You frowned and said: "It's still a bit risky. We need to be cautious about this matter."

Wei Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

In theory, the more people he left behind, the more useful it would be to Wei You. After all, as an elder, Wei You would be proud of his descendants' success.

But now, why does it seem that he is considering everything on his side?

Thinking of it this way, Wei You is a lovely and respectable elder.
