Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 200: The descendants of those buried here will surely be princes and generals.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was no more sound coming from the yard.

Chen Daniu, who had been standing outside the courtyard gate, opened his eyes and exhaled a thick breath.

Wei Yuan left the yard and went to worship at his parents' graves.

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

Wei Yuan's parents were buried in a mountain col.

At that time, a traveling Taoist passed by this place and once said to the Wei Ruyi siblings who were worshiping their parents:
"With your head on the mountain, your feet on the blue lake, the dragon is crouching on the hillock, gathering the essence of the sun and moon, and the aura of heaven and earth. After this burial, there will be princes and generals who will flourish for a while. From then on, the destiny is unpredictable, and the blessings and disasters are unpredictable."

At that time, the two siblings just thought that a liar came from somewhere and wanted to defraud them of their money, so they ignored him.

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

As for the so-called unpredictability of heaven's secrets and unpredictable fortunes and disasters, Wei Yuan didn't know how to explain it.

If you encounter such an expert hermit again, you must ask him carefully.

Minglan had no choice but to put down the bowl and chopsticks for the time being, and nodded: "Exactly, before I came here, my mother also told her niece that if she had time, she would go to Guangling County to visit the graves of my maternal grandfather and grandmother."

Sheng Wei said: "It should be so."

Arriving between the hills, Wei Yuan knelt down and worshiped in front of his parents' graves.

Sheng Wei simply asked, "Minglan, are your mother and uncle's hometowns in Guangling?"

While everyone was talking, Minglan kept eating, as if she was oblivious to what was going on outside the window.

While eating, Sheng Wei glanced at Minglan, then at his two sons, and said seriously:

Sheng Changsong was puzzled. Why did his father talk about this matter?
He responded: "Guangling. I seem to have heard my father say that Minglan's uncle was born in Guangling?"

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

Even Sheng Changbai and others were quite curious.

If he didn't say anything, Minglan would pretend she didn't hear anything. When Wei Yuan returned to Liang Zhejiang, she would go to pay homage to her maternal grandfather and grandmother.

As for the old lady Sheng and the eldest lady, they chose a quiet place to chat and did not want to stay with the juniors, otherwise they would not be happy eating and drinking.

Not long after they arrived in Youyang, Wei Yuan went to Guangling? It's really a bit of a coincidence.

"Sir, I heard that General Zhongyong Bowei went to Guangling to worship his ancestors. There was a big battle. All the officials from Yangzhou went there."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at an attendant behind him.

event?

Due to emotion and reason, they, the juniors, should all pay a visit.

Sheng Wei, Chang Bai, Minglan and others ate at the same table.

Hearing Changsong's words, Sheng Wei smiled.

If you focus on traveling, it will take half a day at most.

The same is true for Chen Daniu,
"My eldest brother's parents are my parents. How can I stand while my eldest brother worships me?"

Sheng Wei pretended to be surprised and said: "I asked you which big shot it is that can alarm so many officials in Yangzhou. It turns out to be Uncle Zhongyong!"

"."

"My child has been discussing knowledge with Changbai these past few days, but he hasn't paid attention to the outside world."

But if it is said that it is not the case and word spreads, it will be said that these juniors are rude.

Sheng Changbai felt that this was not good.

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

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

Sheng Changfeng said inappropriately.

Wei Yuan smiled and simply let him go.

Youyang County, Yangzhou.

"Uncle Wei has actually come to Yangzhou? We happen to be in Yangzhou. Sixth sister, do you want to pay a visit?"

Youyang is not far from Guangling. If you don't need to rush, you can reach Guangling in just one day by horse-drawn carriage.

But now that I’ve said it, you can’t escape this topic.
"Well, it's okay to come and visit, but my uncle has a big responsibility and may not have much time to entertain us."

After one day.

"Guangling seems to have produced no great figures who are all-powerful, right?"

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

Sheng Wei shook his head and said: "That's not appropriate. You call General Wei your uncle. Now that we know that he has come to Yangzhou, if you juniors don't go and visit, you will inevitably be criticized for being inconsistent with etiquette. Changbai, what do you think?" no?"

After worshiping his parents, Wei Yuan asked the army to camp outside the village that night, while he himself lived in the old house.

The two shook their heads one after another and said:
"I've never heard of it, so I don't know what father is referring to?"

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

Sheng Changbai seemed to be a die-hard scholar, but his mind was more flexible than ordinary people. He smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond.

Minglan seemed to notice Sheng Changbai's dilemma and simply said: "My uncle was born in the army and doesn't care about these customs."

"Born in the military?" Sheng Wei smiled and said, "Isn't that right? I heard that your uncle was born as a scholar?"

Minglan sighed inwardly. No matter what, do you have to go to Guangling?
"Since uncle said it's not in line with etiquette, then I'll wait for the younger generation to visit my uncle, and I also have to visit the graves of my grandparents, so I can't go empty-handed."

"Uncle Lao, can you take care of it?" This was considered as an answer to Sheng Wei's request.

Sheng Wei said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I guess you, the younger generation, don't know what to prepare."

"It just so happens that I'm going to Guangling to discuss a business deal. Let's finalize this matter for now."

"I wonder when we can leave?"

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

"My niece hasn't been back to Youyang's hometown for a long time. Some relatives and friends always want 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 lacks everything.

Therefore, Sheng Wei needs to put a lot of thought into what kind of gifts he can prepare to impress Wei Yuan.

"Tomorrow, I heard that Uncle You has three major hobbies? One said fine wine and delicious food. There were also military books, BMWs, weapons, etc. Which one is it?"

Minglan smiled and said, "Didn't uncle ask my father?"

Sheng Wei's face turned red when his thoughts were exposed in public, and he said, "I'm too embarrassed to ask."

Minglan said: "My uncle once said that he does not have the so-called three major hobbies. As for what to give, it still depends on your wishes, uncle."

Sheng Wei was in trouble for a while.

It would be a big embarrassment if this was not given right.
-
Two days later, Lao Weiyou of the Wei clan in Hedong came to Guangling with more than 30 young people from the Wei clan.

Wei Yuan greeted him personally.

The two met at the old house.

Wei Yuan roasted two legs of lamb himself.

The elder of the Wei clan, whose beard and hair were gray, sat next to Wei Yuan and pointed from time to time:

"It's time to turn it over, it'll be burnt in a while."

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

"Come on, come on, old man, you go and watch."

Judging from the seniority in Weijia Village, he might have something to do with the Hedong Wei family.

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

Now he is called Wei Yuan's nephew, which is obviously to promote him in the Wei family. This is a kind gesture.

Wei Yuan shook his head helplessly and smiled, and said: "It will be baked soon, as long as it is edible, why do you still care so much?"

Wei You took the leg of lamb from him, grilled it himself, and said with a smile:
"There is nothing in the world that cannot be disappointed with food and wine. Such high-quality ingredients, roasted like this, cannot help but be wasted."

Then, he talked about another serious matter,
"According to my nephew's instructions, when I came this time, in addition to bringing some good young men from our Wei family who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, I also brought a few clan elders to take care of your ancestor worship."

"But moving tombs is a big deal, especially the tombs of your parents. One of them is a court official and the other is the king of Guangling County. Their tombs should not be moved lightly. You have to choose a good day and ask an expert to do it."

"I invited Sanyang Zhenren from Laojun Temple and the abbot of Shaolin Temple. I felt that these alone were not enough, so I also invited a great scholar from the Confucian family to read out the memorial text when the tomb was moved. This is considered appropriate. I don't know what you think. How about next?”

Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this clan elder was so thoughtful.
"Are Duke Yansheng's family alarmed? Isn't it a bit grand?"

Wei You shook his head and said, "It's not grand. With your current status, that's how it should be."

"Moving the tomb of my parents is a big deal. The old man has asked people to prepare pear nanmu wood and use this wood to redo the outer coffin. As for the original coffin, it will not move and will be used as a coffin. What do you think?"

When some wealthy families are buried, two-layer coffins are required.

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

Wei You was worried that if the coffins of Wei Yuan's parents were opened and the bodies of his parents were taken out, there would be damage, so he only made the coffins outside.

Wei Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Young people have always been troubled, so this is the most appropriate thing."

Wei You smiled and said: "That's right. You can't write two characters of Wei in one stroke. We will both prosper and suffer. These small things should be taken care of by me."

After saying that, he looked at the leg of lamb and suddenly heard an ouch,
"I'm going to get confused just talking."

Wei Yuan laughed twice and said, "As long as you can eat it."

Wei You glared at him, "What a waste of natural resources!"

After lunch, in front of Wei You, Wei Yuan examined the martial arts of the young and strong men he had brought.

It has to be said that although the Hedong Wei family is slightly weaker than other prominent families, they still make no concessions when it comes to cultivating future generations.

There are more than thirty young and strong men, all of whom are top players.

After examining everyone's martial arts skills, Wei You asked with a smile:
"Among these people, is there any nephew who likes me? If not, I will continue to look for him in the clan."

Wei Yuan said: "No need, just keep these people."

Leave them all?
Wei You was a little surprised and said: "If we all stay, won't it be a little too eye-catching?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, we have the final say on matters in 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, so you need to be cautious about this matter."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan was a little surprised.

Logically speaking, the more people he leaves behind, the more useful they will be to Wei You. After all, the future generations will make a difference, and Wei You, as the elder, will certainly have a bright face.

But now it sounds like he is considering everything on his own side?
Thinking about it this way, Wei You is a lovely and respectable elder.
