Chapter 329 The grandson finally dug the grandfather
"You're such a virtuous person, why are you still standing there? Why don't you kowtow to Third Grandpa!"
"If you are from the Qing family, please let your child come in and kowtow to the Third Master!"
"Young's family, what are you robbing? Third grandpa brought so many things, are you afraid that they won't be yours?"
"If you're from a rich family, why don't you bring a chair to Third Grandpa? Why are you just standing there!"
""
Looking at the long line of adults and children lining up at the entrance of the ancestral hall to kowtow to the third grandfather from Beijing, including several nieces, nephews, and great-nephews.
Jia Liu could hardly sit still.
Good guy, I didn’t expect that my life span is so long!
It is said that the eldest son is the grandson and the last is the master, but when it comes to him, the situation is reversed.
The reason is that when Jia Hanfu was in the Ming army in his early years, he fought with bandits and was in danger and never married a wife. Later he married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a child, but died in the war. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he fought for the Qing Dynasty in the north and south.
He did not bother to marry and have children, and it was not until the seventh year of Shunzhi that Jia Hanfu's eldest son was born.
It took another ten years before Jia Liu's grandfather, Jia Zuwang, was born. It was less than two years after Jia Hanfu's death that year. He was old and had a son. Jia Hanfu's second brother had already become the grandfather.
Jia Zuwang's team is even thinner. Jia Liu's father, Jia Daquan, only exists in his forties, and Jia Liu's father, Jia Daquan, only exists in Daquan's thirties.
This is almost a matter of two or three generations. Put it on Jia Liu, how can he not be a long time in the Jia family?
The fourth generation of Jia Hanfu's branch currently only has one male, Jia Liu, but his brothers' branches are prosperous.
There are more than 300 descendants of the Jia family in Zhuangzi alone, and there are also many who go out to make a living. According to Jia Youzhen, who calls himself Third Grandpa, there are about 500 people in total.
Just as I was wondering, two children came over to kowtow to the third old man.
The baby was really young, and her mother told her that she wanted to kowtow to the grandpa who came from Beijing. As a result, she kowtowed three times "Dongdongdong", which made the third grandpa get excited and distressed and quickly helped the baby up.
Jia Youzhen introduced the third grandpa from the side: "They are the two children of the Youqing family, your grandson."
Jia Liu took a closer look and saw that they were twins, dear. He was very happy from the bottom of his heart and let Shuan Zhu reward him whenever he was happy.
Each person has one ingot and five taels of large ingots.
When two large ingots of ingots were given to the two children, the scene was as if the Third Master had soared in the daytime, and the Jia family members present were shocked.
Nuo's large ancestral hall, the sparrows are silent.
After more than a dozen breaths, the dozens of children who were jumping around with gifts on the carriage outside the yard were all rushed in with their parents and grandparents.
They were all vying to kowtow to Mr. Jia San twice.
Why do the Jia family call Jia Liu the Third Grand Master?
Because even though Jia Liu had two older brothers who died in infancy and a sister, he was called Liu Zi based on all of them.
But in terms of males, they are three sons.
As the saying goes, we are not worried about scarcity but inequality. They are all descendants of the Jia family, and they all call Jia Liu great grandfather. How can he always favor one over the other?
"Okay, okay, okay, reward, reward! It's all there, it's all there!"
How can a big shot from Beijing be as stingy as a small citizen in Shanghai, bringing two big front doors to Northern Jiangsu to give gifts to people, and bewildered that they are better cigarettes than Huazi?
How can Jia Liu, who even dares to seek wealth from the imperial mausoleum, care about small money?
Can it lose Daquan’s face?
You definitely can’t be a coward.
As a result, the great-grandsons ran away with the two boxes of silver they brought as a reward.
The silver was brought by Jia Liu to pay for moving the tomb.
The expenses for monks, Taoists, Mr. Yin and Yang, coffins, new graves, banquets, etc. are all included.
The matter is not over yet.
The children took away the money they paid to move the grave of ancestor Jia who was struck by thunder. Where are the adults?
The fifty-eight-year-old Youzhen Guan twenty-two-year-old Jia Liu is called Third Grandpa. How old are the same generation as Jia Liu?
The grass on the graves that grows taller than him are taller than people.
He is a senior man, he is from Beijing, and he is an official. If the third grandfather does not help the poor people of his clan, it will not be justified anywhere.
The cart of gifts brought from outside can be divided among ten families at most. How will the others get it?
We can't blame Daquan for not explaining this to his son, because Daquan himself has not been back to his hometown for thirty years, and he has no idea how many relatives there are in his hometown.
Looking at the longing eyes of a bunch of nephews and grandnephews, can Jia Liu, the third grandfather, let down the younger generations?
"Shut Zhu!"
"Master, here you are!"
Jia Liu dragged the man aside and told him to immediately send someone to Quwo County to buy things. Anyway, as long as the villagers could use it, food and drink would be dragged back in carts.
Don't be afraid of spending money, just buy it anyway.
No matter what we do today, we have to support the people of Beijing.
Picking up Ribaso is not the style of his consort Jia Jia.
Yang Zhi agreed and was going to do it. As soon as he reached the door, Jia Youzhen stopped him and persuaded his third grandfather: "It's just as long as you got what you want. There's no need to spend so much money."
He also said that the county seat is more than a hundred miles away from Jia's family.
"So be it,"
Considering practical issues, Jia Liu decided to discount the money and announced the money distribution in public.
It's not based on hair per household, but on hair per person.
A person's head is ten taels, even if he is away from home.
In this way, it was more than 5,000 taels, and even the ones knocked away by the children exceeded 6,000 taels.
It really shocked the Jia family.
There was no way to find the money, because Jia Liu only had the banknotes with him, so he had to send someone to Pingyang Mansion to cash the banknotes.
Arrangements were made for Captain Deb to lead a few people to handle this matter.
Finally, the ancestral hall became quiet.
The ones left behind are a few older uncles, the A's are from the same class, the Qing's are from the same class, and the younger ones are from the same class. Basically, they are all old men.
The oldest, Jia Dafa, was eighty-four years old and had lost all his teeth. He ate a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for half an hour.
According to the generational name, Jia Liu should be called Jia A or something, because the order of his Jia family is "Longzong Hanzu, Da Aqingyou".
First, under the arrangement of Jia Youzhen, Jia Liu, a relative of Beijing, offered incense and kowtowed to the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall.
The top rows of the portrait are all clothes from the Ming Dynasty, and those placed next to Jia Hanfu became Manchu clothes.
Then, under the leadership of everyone, Jia Liu came to the tomb of the dog traitor Jia Hanfu with great sadness.
Can you not be sad? You didn't get anything from all this way, but you helped six thousand poor people. How can you do this business?
No wonder Jia Daquan has not returned to his hometown for more than thirty years because he is afraid of using money.
On the way, Jia Liu asked Youzhen why the Jia family's village was called Sima Village.
Jia Youzhen said that people with the surname Sima lived in Zhuangzi in the past. Later, an ancestor of the Jia family was in trouble and became the son-in-law of the Sima family. After that, he made some money and restored his surname. The Jia family was able to take root in Sima Zhuang.
.
"Later, when the ancestor of the Han Dynasty returned and became a high official, the Sima family moved away on their own. The original intention was to change the name of the village, but the ancestor of the Han Dynasty said that we should not forget our roots. If it were not for the Sima family, there would be no Jia family.
So the name of the village has not changed."
Just as he was talking, everyone arrived at the cemetery at the edge of Zhuangzi.
Just when Jia Liu was about to cry, Youzhen pointed to a tomb and said, "Grandpa Third, this is the tomb of the ancestor of the clan."
Only then did Jia Liu notice that there were two large tombs, one belonged to his old master Jia Hanfu, and the other belonged to Jia Hanfu and his father Jia Zongqing.
Jia Zongqing's tomb must have been rebuilt after Jia Hanfu developed, while Jia Hanfu's tomb was built by Jia Zuwang and his brothers.
The local government also allocated funds, and because Han Fu was the crown prince's guardian during his lifetime, the tomb was built in a dignified manner.
Surrounding these two large tombs, there is a circle of smaller tombs, one of which belongs to Jia Liu's grandfather, Jia Zuwang.
Jia Liu didn't care who was buried in these graves. What he cared about was how Jia Hanfu's grave was smashed.
As a result, under Youzhen's guidance, I discovered that there was a century-old pine tree in front of his old man's grave. For some reason, it was struck by thunder and it was on fire at that time. Since it was night, no one knew about it. When I found it the next day, the tree had burned down.
Already.
The lightning strike was so powerful that the old man's tombstone was broken off. The ground was covered in scorched earth, and there were obvious signs of explosions on the tomb.
"Third Grandpa, do you think you're going to ask someone to break ground tomorrow, or something like that?"
Youzhen had to ask the third grandfather what he meant, because the third grandfather was the direct descendant of the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
Even if the tree is destroyed or the monument is broken, they can still find someone to repair it. The problem is that they don't know whether the tomb was struck by lightning.
It's impossible to determine the extent of the damage without digging, but if you break ground, you'll definitely have to ask the person what they want.
"How can the great events of our ancestors be left to others?"
Jia Liu looked sad, but he couldn't squeeze out tears.
Because he was very excited about digging the old man's grave.
