However, just when he thought he would have to go through at least a few more repeated "questions", the military returned his belongings.Of course, the items have been cleaned. Wei Chengguang estimated that not only were they cleaned, but most of these items had also been inspected.

Later, she met Zhu Yingwei, and both of them were allowed to move freely in the living area on the ship.

Zhu Yingwei told him privately that the two should be "released" soon.Although Wei Chengguang didn't know why Zhu Yingwei was so sure, but thinking about it, it was probably because of what she had done behind the scenes. He couldn't help but be more optimistic about the speculation about Zhu Yingwei's family background.

Jingshan County is located in the southeast of Jiangdong. It is a small county town surrounded by mountains on three sides. Jingshan has a long history. It is said that in the late Liang Dynasty, refugees from the north and south settled here, and then gradually developed into its current state.

Compared with the prosperity of Linzhou, the entire city here is much smaller. Most of the buildings here are dominated by traditional southern-style buildings. Now is the Chinese New Year, and some new year stalls can be seen on the streets.Some children cheered and chased and played in the joint, and the sound of exploding firecrackers could be heard from time to time.

It snowed for two days in a row a few days ago. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, and you could see some snowmen built by children on the roadside.

Standing in front of a small courtyard with white walls and black tiles, Zhang Jing raised his head and glanced at the closed door, countless scenes flashed through his mind.These are the original memories of his body. He grew up here. In his memory, whenever he came home from school, smoke would always rise from the chimney, and his mother would be busy working in the kitchen. When I come back, I always smile quietly and reach out to touch my head.My father probably hasn't come home yet. It will be late in the evening before he pushes the door open with heavy steps and then picks himself up...

"Brother Jing is back?!"

The greeting from behind interrupted his thoughts. When he looked back, he saw a slightly thin middle-aged woman greeting him. Beside her, a little boy with his fingers in his mouth was looking at him curiously. To myself.

"Hello Aunt Fu, isn't this the Chinese New Year? Come back and have a look." Zhang Jing recognized at a glance that this was his old neighbor. He had watched him grow up since he was a child, and he had a pretty good relationship with his family back then. , so he held his hands in greeting.

"It's good to come back. It's time to come back and take a look."

After chatting casually with Aunt Fu, Zhang Jing glanced at the little boy who looked impatient and wanted to rush out to play: "Is this Daniel's child?"

Daniu is Aunt Fu's son. He also played with Zhang Jing when he was young, but after he went to school, they gradually lost contact.

"Yes, he has been working outside with his parents. Now, he will come back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year..." Speaking of the child, the smile on Aunt Fu's face became brighter.

Zhang Jing thought for a while, then took out a red envelope from his pocket, handed it over, and stuffed it into the ignorant child's pocket. This was specially prepared by him when he returned to his hometown, and now he actually used it: "This is the first time I met the child. I am considered an elder now, so I didn’t bring any gifts, so this red envelope is a welcome gift.”

Chapter 2 Seventy Recalling Jiangnan

"Hey...how can this be done..." Aunt Fu was busy trying to give in. After the two of them pushed back, Zhang Jing finally gave out the red envelope. Aunt Fu was obviously a little embarrassed and was full of compliments.

After chatting for a while, Aunt Fu said goodbye and left. Zhang Jing opened the door and walked into the old house.

The old house is a single-story tile-roofed house with a small front yard. There is a wintersweet planted in the front yard, which is blooming at the moment and exudes a faint fragrance.

Zhang Jing walked through the front yard, opened the door, and entered the house. The entrance was a living room with three rooms, one was a study room, two were bedrooms, there was also a toilet and a kitchen.

No one has entered the old house for a year, and there is a thin layer of dust everywhere. Zhang Jing put down the backpack he was carrying. He did not drive back this time. Since there was a more convenient way, he I came directly through Dongtian, and I just brought a few things with me.

Almost everything in the old house remained the same as in his memory. After walking around in each room, Zhang Jing took out the red paper, laid out the pen and ink, thought for a while, and wrote a pair of Spring Festival couplets.

"The sky is filled with snow and glory, and the sun is shining brightly in front of the hall."

After carefully posting it on both sides of the door, Zhang Jing looked at the time. It was almost 15:00 in the afternoon, so he sorted it out and went out again.

After hailing a taxi, Zhang Jing took a seat and headed to the Lijia Archway in the northern suburbs of the county.

The Lijia Archway in the northern suburbs is actually a quite tall archway. It is said that it was built by a local Jinshi named Li in the previous dynasty. Today, it has the largest cemetery in the county.

Zhang Jing's family did not have their own land at that time, so when their parents were buried, they also purchased a cemetery in the suburbs. At that time, they still arranged the funeral arrangements for their parents with the help of their uncle.

Zhang Jing got off the car at the gate of Yang's house. At this time, he could see some people on the roadside carrying incense candles, flower baskets and other objects. Most of these people came to visit the graves of their ancestors on the first day of the new year.

Zhang Jing walked along the tomb passage and finally found a blue-black stone tablet in the northeast corner of the cemetery according to the location in his memory.

The stone tablet reads "First examine the tomb of (concubine) Zhang Jin (Qian Mei)"

Zhang Jing looked at the tombstone and subconsciously recalled that afternoon, when a child with frightened eyes knelt in front of the tomb and cried bitterly.

Although his core consciousness is actually the man who traveled from another time and space, after all, the fusion and the memory of this life, as the fusion gradually deepens, the gap between them has become quite blurred.He has also gradually regarded some of his previous experiences in this life as his own. After all, from a certain perspective, the self in the past life and the self in this life are both himself. Perhaps, they were originally the same person.If you inherit this body's memories and connections, you will also inherit its responsibilities and obligations.

Although the bone-wrenching sadness has faded away now, at this moment, through memory, I can still feel it.

The tombstone is relatively clean, and there are still burnt incense candles. It is obvious that someone has been here before.

Probably my uncle's family...

Zhang Jing sighed, took out some pastries he had brought, and placed them in front of the tomb.Then a candle was taken and lit.

Finally, he lit a handful of sandalwood, and after bowing respectfully three times in front of the tomb, Zhang Jing inserted the sandalwood on the ground in front of the tomb.

Watching the cigarette curl up quietly, Zhang Jing took out the flute from his backpack, tried the tune, narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly started to play.

This is the song "Recalling Jiangnan", a song that Zhang Jing liked very much in his previous life.

Regardless of past life or present life, he grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. This gentle land raised him.

The sound of the flute lingers...

As the cigarette goes straight into the sky...

All my thoughts, past and present, seem to have turned into the sound of a flute...

His uncle's family lived in Daxitang, Jingshan County. In Zhang Jing's memory, his uncle and aunt opened a small shop selling groceries. They relied on this small shop to make ends meet, and their lives were not well off.

My aunt's old house was passed down from my grandfather. There are two acres of thin fields outside the house, where vegetables and other crops are grown. My aunt is a diligent person and never lets the fields go unused.On weekdays, I save money on grocery shopping, and from time to time I can take out some endless food from my own store.

When Zhang Jing arrived at the door of his uncle's house carrying a bag full of newly bought gifts, he had already met two groups of acquaintances. There were many neighbors who knew him in this area. After all, he often played around here with his cousin when he was a child.

The courtyard door of my uncle's house was open and not closed. There was a half-sized calico dog lying on the ground in boredom. When it saw someone coming in, it started barking.

Then, someone in the house heard the sound and came out. Seeing Zhang Jing from a distance, they walked forward with a smile: "It's A Jing who's here!"

This was a fat woman with a kind face, some gray hair, and her wet hands were wiping on the apron in front of her. She was obviously doing tasks such as washing vegetables.

"Happy New Year, aunt." When Zhang Jing saw her, he smiled and greeted her. This was his aunt Zhou Yumei.

"Oh, it's Ah Jing who's here!" As she said this, she looked Zhang Jing up and down, with obvious surprise on her face: "My body has become stronger and I am more energetic. This big city is really different... …”

"Isn't that right? I eat well these days, I go to the gym every day to exercise, and my work goes well. Auntie, these are New Year gifts, so I'll put them here." After saying that, Zhang Jing smiled and raised the gifts in his hand. , and then put it next to the door.

"They are all relatives, what gifts should I bring..." Zhou Yumei complained a few words, and then pointed to the inner room: "Your uncle is cooking in the kitchen, and Aju is also back. He doesn't know what he is doing hiding in his room. .”

"Then I'll go see my uncle first." Zhang Jing said hurriedly.

Zhang Jing's uncle Qian Jishu is an honest-looking man, with a dark complexion, a slightly chubby figure, and silver hair in his hair.

Seeing Zhang Jing coming over, the uncle and nephew exchanged pleasantries again. At this time, Zhang Jing's cousin Qian Ju also heard the noise and came out of the room. He was a thin, pale-skinned young man with a Glasses.I was also very happy to see my cousin Zhang Jing. Because the two families were close, Qian Ju and Zhang Jing had often played together since they were children. It was not until Zhang Jing went to Linzhou to study that they lost contact.

Speaking of which, Qian Ju is a well-known "other person's child" in the surrounding neighborhood. He is an only son and has studied hard since he was a child. His grades are much better than Zhang Jing's.A few years ago, he passed the college entrance examination and majored in software engineering at Southeast University. He also received scholarships from the department in recent years. This made his mother always mention her son from time to time when chatting with others.

Chapter 271 Help

Of course, Zhang Jing knew that the burden on his aunt and uncle was actually quite big. The tuition fees at Southeast University were much higher than those at his previous community college. Although his cousin got the scholarship, the remaining ones were not suitable for ordinary people. For the family, it is also a heavy sum of money. Needless to say, the whole family must have taken out a loan.

..............................

………………

Seeing that his aunt and cousin were not around, Zhang Jing pulled his uncle aside.

"Uncle, I've had some good luck during this period and made a lot of money. I gave my cousin a red envelope. Please accept it..."

"How can this be done? How can I, as an uncle, accept money from your nephew..."

"Uncle, I have a lot of money now, and my cousin's tuition is not a small amount, so I should sponsor some..."

"What are you talking about? We, as parents, will be responsible for his tuition. It's not easy for you to work hard alone in a big city. Put it away and use it to gather your wives in the future..."

Zhang Jing was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, so he had to say: "Uncle, don't worry, I have even bought a house in Linzhou. This money can be regarded as some of my thoughts as a cousin..."

..............................

………………

After all the hard talk, he finally got his uncle to accept the red envelope. Zhang Jing put a bank card in the red envelope and attached the password. There was 10 yuan in it. The reason why he didn't give cash was because if it was thick and thick, Stacking cash, based on his understanding of his uncle and aunt, he would never accept it.

After a short while, dinner was ready, and the family served it. The Qian family was a small family with not many relatives. On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Jing was the only guest.

Zhou Yumei obviously found out about Zhang Jing's red envelope from Qian Jishu. She became more enthusiastic at the dinner table and kept picking up dishes for Zhang Jing.

The topic soon turned to Zhang Jing's current situation in Linzhou. Since Zhang Jing had previously said that he had bought a house, the topic naturally turned to this.Zhang Jing then introduced that he bought a two-entry courtyard in Yunshanfang. He did not mention that he bought it together with the tea mountain behind it, mainly because he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain...

But even so, Qian Jishu and Zhou Yumei were still amazed. They were both engaged in small business. Although they were not familiar with Linzhou's traffic zoning, they still knew that the two-entry courtyard in Linzhou was not a small price.

So Zhang Jing had no choice but to use the same excuse he used to prevaricate Wang Tao: He bravely saved the jade merchant's grandson, and then went to Anxi to collect jade materials. He happened to meet a stone gambler and had some spare money at the time, so he chipped in the money and met the old man Eryi. Tian Zuowu, I made a fortune, the old man has a good eye, and then he made a big fortune..."

After hearing this, everyone was speechless, and my aunt even clasped her hands together, saying that God bless my sister and brother-in-law...

Then, the topic shifted to Zhang Jing's cousin Qian Ju. Qian Ju was a senior at the beginning of the year and was about to graduate.

"If you are a senior, you should be starting an internship soon, right?" Zhang Jing asked.

"Yes, I have asked my classmates in the student union to help recommend them." Qian Ju replied: "It is said that there will be internship opportunities in some big companies early next year, and I am also going to try them."

"In that case, you should stay in Linzhou in the future, right?" Zhang Jing asked.

"Well, if I want to find a job, I would like to find it in Linzhou, which will be closer to Jingshan. If that doesn't work, you can also go to Songjiang, but I heard that the housing prices there are too expensive and the cost of living is high..." Obviously, Qian Ju is serious. After considering these, my words are very coherent.

"Young people should venture out more. What's the future of staying in a small place like Jingshan?" Qian Jishu smiled and poured a glass of rice wine for Zhang Jingman, and then said: "Look at your brother, isn't he just trying to get out?" La……"

"Lucky, lucky..." Zhang Jing smiled, picked up the wine glass, and toasted his uncle and aunt again.

"You can't say it's a fluke. You two are both adults and educated people. I have nothing to teach you. However, there is no word "lucky" in the dictionary of adults..." Qian Jishu said in a rare serious tone. , then pointed at Zhang Jing: "If nothing else, look at how A Jing treats people now. He is much more tactful than before. After all, he has been trained in a big city."

"Ajing should take care of Aju more in the future. You two brothers grew up together, just like real brothers. In the future, you should help each other more in the same city..." Zhou Yumei said, and gave Zhang Jing another piece of cake. Chicken legs, Zhang Jing’s favorite food since childhood.

"That's natural." Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Aju's grades are so good, so it will be easy to find a way out in the future."

"I also have some connections in Linzhou now. I have to let Ah Ju find a suitable job."

Qian Ju was obviously a little shy. He scratched his head and pushed his mother aside, indicating not to talk anymore.

"Don't dislike your parents for nagging you. Good grades are one thing. Now you have to do an internship, and then you have to enter the society. In terms of dealing with people, you have to learn from your brother. He went to a big company. In many ways, it's not like school. It's so simple here..." Qian Jishu couldn't help but chatter a few more words.

In the end, Zhou Yumei saw that her son looked a little embarrassed, so she stopped talking and changed the subject: "By the way, Ajing, have you visited your parents' graves this time when you came back?"

"Well, I've already been there in the afternoon." Zhang Jing nodded hurriedly, and then chatted with his aunt for a few words about the tomb-sweeping experience. Then he learned that his uncle's family had also gone to the tomb-sweeping place before.

The topic gradually turned to Zhang Jing's personal life. Regardless of the past life or this life, the elders in the world are always the same. My uncle and aunt seemed to be more concerned about whether Zhang Jing had a girlfriend.

Fortunately, Zhang Jing had been able to deal with this kind of situation a lot in his previous life. He just found a reason why his career had not stabilized yet, and just excused himself.

However, Qian Jishu still gave some advice in the tone of an experienced person, probably advising him to talk to the right one as soon as possible, lest after this period of time, all the good girls would be abducted by others...

This topic made Zhang Jinglue a little uncomfortable, but he knew they had good intentions, so he agreed.Watching Qian Ju snickering at Zhang Jing and winking at Zhang Jing, he got angry. Zhou Yumei brought the topic to him and urged him to find a suitable one in school. He would work in the future, but it would be difficult to find a partner. …

According to the practice of previous years, Yunxiao Temple is not closed on the night of New Year's Eve. Not only that, the Taoist priests are also divided into two groups to rest. Some of them go to rest early and prepare to change their duties in the early morning. brothers.

Chapter 272 Immortal Family Method

The Xuanmen Temple is very festive. On the [-]th of the New Year, the guest rooms in the temple are basically full, and many of the pilgrims are preparing to get up early in the morning on the first day of the new year to compete for the first place.

When the time comes, not only those living in the temple, but also many pilgrims from down the mountain will flock into the temple to burn incense.

During the Spring Festival, there are a series of rituals in the temple, mainly to offer sacrifices to God and the gods, and to pray for a good harvest and good luck in the coming year. As Li Jingxin’s first Spring Festival when he took over as the abbot, Li Jingxin had to personally preside over these rituals for one day. After being busy, even ordinary young Taoist priests feel a little hard.

Not to mention that Li Jingxin is already an old man in his 60s. Such a workload is really heavy. His disciple Yu Dezhao even secretly prepared some decoctions for his master in case of emergencies.

However, Li Jingxin's state obviously exceeded many people's expectations. From early in the morning, Li Jingxin looked bright and energetic. Not only did he preside over the sacrificial activities according to the rituals, but he also I took some time to meet with some believers one after another.

At the end of the day, Li Jingxin basically had no time to take any rest, not even the time to take a nap at noon. However, at the end of the whole day, he did not show any signs of fatigue. Instead, Yu Dezhao, who was following him, kept yawning. , looking very tired.

And Li Jingxin's performance naturally added a lot of points to his image among many believers and Taoist priests in the audience.

"Master, you are still busy in the early morning. You should go to bed early and get some more sleep." Yu Dezhao reminded in a low voice after sending Li Jingxin back to his room.

Li Jingxin will naturally show up for the ceremony of burning incense. Not only that, but on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Jingxin will also publicly teach Taoist scriptures to the believers.

It can be said that Li Jingxin had no time to spare for several days.

"As a teacher, I still have to do my homework in the evening. You are tired after following me all day, so go and rest first."

"Then...disciple will retire first." Yu Dezhao muttered, but finally did not give any more advice. Since taking over as the abbot, the master has obviously become more diligent. Not only has the time spent studying various classics every day increased significantly. , and spend a considerable amount of time meditating every night.

In Yu Dezhao's eyes, this clearly meant that Master was demanding himself as a true "religious leader".

For the entire Yunxiao Mountain, the behavior of the new abbot obviously made him more recognized by the superiors and subordinates, and they all felt that they had not chosen the wrong person.
