Chapter 624: Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite
"What? Are our Gu family and Shen family still related?" Gu Yunxuan seemed to have heard an extremely shocking news, his eyes widened in disbelief.
He subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his head, with an expression on his face that was both surprised and a bit disappointed, "Looking at it this way, isn't this Shen Yu your same generation?
"And my nephew has become his junior?
"It's really a rush!"
He originally wanted to complain a few words, but then he remembered that the person in front of him was his uncle, and more importantly the head of the Gu family. Gu Yunxuan quickly shut up, "Well, my nephew is rude, this... this is really unexpected."
Gu Zhengtang also smiled bitterly and shook his head, "In terms of seniority, it is indeed the case. Although Xiao Shen is young, he is of the same generation as me.
"However, Mr. Shen of Chongzhonglou has always had a grudge about what happened back then. For so many years, he has refused to recognize us as relatives of the Gu family."
Gu Yunxuan became increasingly puzzled, "Why is this?"
A complicated look flashed across Gu Zhengtang's eyes, and he once again fell into reminiscing about the past, and slowly began to tell: "At that time, our country was in a turbulent and chaotic time where warlords were fighting.
"The traffic situation is extremely inconvenient. Highways have not yet been built in many places, and the transmission of information is even more difficult. It was already half a year after the news of my grandmother Shen's death spread from Jiangyun to Hong Kong Island."
"When your great-grandfather and your grandfather returned to Jiangyun from Hong Kong Island after all the hard work, it took more than a month. However, the sight before them made them heartbroken.
"The ancestral home is overgrown with weeds and is in a state of desolation and decay. The land at home has also been arbitrarily occupied by others, and the maids and servants who buried your great-aunt's grandmother have also been displaced in this troubled times and have long since disappeared."
"This is not the toughest problem.
"When the letter mentioned the burial place of your great-great-grandmother, it only gave a rough location, but there are dozens of graves there alone.
"What's even more troublesome is that there is no monument or wooden sign in front of the grave. In this deserted grave, it is impossible to tell which grave is the resting place of her old man.
"In order to find the exact tomb, your great-grandfather traveled far and wide, visited all the famous local Feng Shui masters, and spent a lot of money in the hope that they could identify your great-aunt's grave with the help of Feng Shui secrets.
"But those Feng Shui masters were faced with this mass of clueless graves, and no one was sure which one it was.
"After all, this is about their reputation. If the wrong search is made, for example, if a male corpse is dug up, it will become a big joke.
"The Feng Shui master profession relies on reputation. Once the reputation is gone, it will be difficult for anyone to ask them to do Feng Shui.
“I would rather not make this money than end up easily.
"Because of this incident, your great-grandfather was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.
"Just when everyone was at a loss, Mr. Shen learned the news and hurried to the door, resolutely asking his master Qingniu Temple Master Qingyunzi for help.
"The real person is worthy of being a highly respected person with great supernatural powers. He just asked Grandma Shen's birthday and then walked slowly among the tombs.
"After walking no more than a dozen steps, he stopped and said firmly that this was where Grandma Shen's bones were buried. After digging up, it turned out to be Grandma Shen's bones.
"Later, after your great-grandfather passed away, he was buried together with your great-grandfather. This was undoubtedly another heavy kindness to my Gu family.
"As the third generation leader of the Gu family, both your great-grandfather and your grandfather have repeatedly told me to repay this kindness.
"At first, I went back to the mainland to visit Mr. Shen many times, hoping to give him some money, precious antiques, or real estate to express the gratitude of our Gu family. However, Mr. Shen refused even a cent.
accept.
"Later, I tried my best to invite him to come to Hong Kong Island, thinking that maybe with a change of environment, he could change his mind. During his stay in Hong Kong Island, except for some food and wine from our family, he refused to accept any other gifts.
"The reason why Mr. Shen is so resentful is mainly because he blames your great-grandfather for not leaving Grandma Shen in Jiangyun's hometown in the first place. He believes that if the family had come to Hong Kong Island together, Grandma Shen would not have died before she was 40 years old.
Die early."
Gu Yunxuan frowned, "Then how can you be sure that it is the body of great-grandmother? Wasn't there no monument in front of the tomb at that time, so it was difficult to distinguish?"
Gu Zhengtang explained: "Although the situation was difficult at the time, after digging up the suspected tomb, objects that could conclusively prove the identity were found.
"Among them are several pieces of jewelry that she wore close to her body during her lifetime, and her leg bones were broken, and there are obvious signs of healing at the same position on the bones. In addition, it is extremely rare to be born with six fingers on the feet. The unique physiological characteristics are very
Easy to distinguish.
"When moving the tomb, your great-grandfather and grandfather carefully verified it one by one, so we can be sure that it is the resting place of great-great-grandmother."
After that, Gu Zhengtang was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "What did your grandfather say about your house when he was still alive? Do you still remember Yunxuan?"
When Gu Yunxuan heard this, his expression immediately became serious and he fell into a brief silence.
After a moment, he seemed to have remembered something key, and suddenly raised his eyes, "When my grandfather was alive, he once talked about the Feng Shui condition of the house.
"At that time, he specially invited several Feng Shui masters who were well-known in the Feng Shui field to come and investigate. After viewing it, these Feng Shui masters unanimously determined that the house was an excellent Feng Shui treasure place for storing wind and gathering Qi and possessing all five elements.
“They also said that if the tribe can live here for a long time, as time goes by, the residents will be more prosperous and healthy, and it can be said that the longer they live, the more prosperous they will be.
"Because of this, my grandfather spent a huge sum of money to buy it and then gave it to my father after we separated."
He paused and said in a slightly solemn tone: "However, the house is not perfect. The only troubling problem is the old banyan tree.
"My grandfather once mentioned that the earth's energy where this old tree takes root is extremely rich. Because of this, the wood energy contained in this old banyan tree is extremely strong, and it will rage every few years.
"Whenever this happens, the five elements of energy in the house will be disordered.
"So my grandfather repeatedly told me to look for good antique goldware to calm the overly strong woodiness of this old banyan tree."
The corner of Gu Zhengtang's mouth raised slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said: "So your father did not hesitate to spend a huge sum of 1.5 million US dollars to buy back from overseas the statue of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, which Xiao Yan cherished very much and loved it very much.
And the Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat that has been circulated for nearly 1,500 years?
"Hey, you really spent a lot of money.
"Now, in order to allow Xiao Shen to use his housekeeping skills without reservation, he actually deliberately claimed that you bought him back. Look at this thoughtful arrangement. They say that my brother is simple and honest without any scheming. Who would have thought
So resourceful?
"At this moment, your father is probably putting on a good show over there. I really don't know if Xiao Shen has noticed the clues."
When Gu Yunxuan heard his uncle teasing his father, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. He wanted to make a few excuses but didn't know where to start, so he could only keep smiling in embarrassment.
The smile was full of helplessness and more of awe for Gu Zhengtang, the head of the Gu family.
