Chapter 723: Visiting the Grave and Burning Paper Money
ter city were not only skilled and efficient but also honest and hardworking. They focused solely on building sturdy houses quickly and efficiently, minimizing the amount of silver spent by the imperi...The rain is still coming down, even heavier than before. 。The Ye family members put every drop of Fan Pingxian's blood before the grave of General Ye Lao, then carried his body down the mountain. 。Everyone went down the mountain, even Quan Qinghua and Feng Zhaolian and others all went down the mountain. 。At the ancestral tomb on the mountaintop, only Ye Wen and Shi Liyuan remained. 。Shili stood beside her, holding an oiled paper umbrella. She knelt on one knee before the grave of Ye Gui, burning through the meager stack of paper money, one by one. 。Shi Liyuan looked at it for a while, then asked her, "Is this paper money of yours a little off Although I've never done this kind of thing myself, not doing something doesn't mean I haven't heard about it. At least last year during the twelfth lunar month, on the seventh night after Ye Sije's death, when I went to see you, the yellow paper that was burned in the fire pit was different from these." 。He crouched down, picked up an unscorched piece of paper and examined it for a moment before saying, “A-yan, there’s no money stamp on this paper! Without a money stamp, it’s just scrap paper, isn’t it You’re burning scrap paper at the grave, trying to fool the ghost”Night Wen Yan snatched the yellow paper and threw it directly into the fire pit, “Whether it’s paper money or scrap paper, I can burn as many as I want. Do you expect me to burn enough for him to have a fortune and keep several concubines in the afterlife This is all because I didn't make it in time when he died. Otherwise, I would have replaced all the paper money with blank checks and let him try to cash them.” 。"She waved the yellow paper in her hand again. 'It's like this,' she said, 'it has a shell but you can't exchange it for money.'" 。"
Did you bring this yourself You just burned some paper money at your grandfather's grave a moment ago, it wasn't like this..." 。" My grandfather definitely can't burn this " 。She was fanning the fire while also stuffing yellow paper into it. Shi Lifen's umbrella slanted a bit, allowing rainwater to pour into the firepit and extinguish the flames all at once. 。He gave a "yo" and was about to light another, but Ye Wen stopped him. "No need, just burn a few for show. The main point is to remind him that I'm here at his grave." 。What should I give him that doesn't involve money I don't have the energy to give him money, he's not my biological father anyway. 。Then, he raised his head and looked at the tombstone of Ye Gui Jing. Finally, his eyes settled on the inscription " filial son Fei Yu" below. 。After a while, she said: "This is because when this stele was erected, none of your family knew about what you had done outside. But if they had known, believe me, based on my mother's temperament, this tombstone wouldn't even be allowed to be built for you." 。Just now we were at my grandfather's tomb, and we killed that man who was with the old madam and the treacherous Fan Ping. The old madam is still standing at my grandfather's tomb now, holding an umbrella for him. 。You just have to take a look, you can see it at a glance. 。Family matters have pretty much been sorted out, what's left are your messes. 。But I won't help you clean up your mess because I don't have the time. I can only leave it to your wife and children. 。Oh no, you don't even have a wife now. My mother has already divorced you. You only have a few children in Beijing left, and those women and children outside. 。I wonder, in your heart, do you miss those outside more, or those from Beijing 。Why do you want to make things difficult when you can live a good life It's common for men in this era to have multiple wives. If you marry openly and honestly, no one can say anything about it. 。You prefer to steal outside instead of marrying openly. Is it more intoxicating to have something stolen than something obtained through a proper marriage It's true, a concubine is better than a wife, and a stolen affair is better than a concubine... so stealing is even better than not stealing at all! How many things can you still steal You, who are able to reach the Grand Princess, when there are countless blossoms of love around you, yet you still insist on the image of a devoted husband and wife, deceiving everyone, the Mu family, and even your own children. 。What are you thinking Do you think your wife is not good enough in every way, or do you think women outside are all better Of course men are like cats, they all love to cheat. 。But if you can steal a lifetime and no one knows about it, then that counts as your skill. 。
It's a pity you don't have the ability. These so-called secrets of yours are leaking out like a sieve, one by one.
Night returns to night, you are still a mystery. Perhaps a good general, but definitely not a good man. 。That's why I came late. If I had arrived when you were still alive, I would have studied you carefully and debated with you about right and wrong, about who was right and who was wrong. 。As night falls, listen carefully. I came here today not to sweep your grave or burn paper for you. 。"I'm not kneeling to you, I just find this position more comfortable for myself." 。You are nothing to me, not a father and certainly not someone I would respect. 。I despise you, even if you have made great achievements for the Northern Qi dynasty. I will still look down upon you. 。Don't tell me you're acting strange because of a lack of maternal love. 。Everyone in this house lives their life as they choose. 。Even if you lack maternal love, you have received more paternal love than others. You are spoiled, so why do you have to dwell on what you don't have When those women were giving birth, did you ever think about your children Enough, I don't want to argue with you anymore. 。A person like you, who never thought they were wrong while alive, who could possibly expect you to repent after death 。"Just stay down there, don't be reborn, don't come up and harm others anymore!" She finished speaking, suddenly raised her hands, pinched flowers to activate the spirit seal, then used flower spirits to conjure the shape of a pen. Then, she wrote a large "sealed" character on the tombstone of Ye Zhigui with that pen. 。Shi Li Yuan was stunned, "What are you doing"Ye Wen Yan: "I'm setting a seal, trapping his soul in the Netherworld so he can't reincarnate and become human again." 。"As for getting so worked up over him" Shi Lifen twitched her lips. "It's totally worth it!" Ye Wenyan said, "People like this back home are called scumbags. Although they're successful in their careers, their private lives are chaotic, with red flags at home and colorful flags fluttering outside. Everyone despises them." 。My methods are already quite gentle. I didn't completely crush him and destroy him, it was because of his contributions to the establishment of Northern Qi. 。Otherwise, hmph, even if I'm buried, I can dig myself out. 。So, Shi Li Yuan, you can't disappoint me from now on, or I'll seal you inside as well. 。Rest assured, my kind of seal has nothing to do with spells or magic. It's learned from the soul-suppressing seal of the Mu family of Lingmai, so even if you are a cultivator, there is no way to break it. 。"Master Li Yichen chuckled, “I'm fine. Why would I disappoint you Besides, if I were to betray you, I'd end my reincarnation and be condemned for eternity, suffering the torments of hell." 。He had to be serious, and he reached out to wipe the raindrops from his girlfriend's forehead as she looked up at him. 。Then she discovered that the girl, who had just been filled with anger and resentment, was now different. Her eyes sparkled with a new light. 。He then went to stroke her eyes again and asked, "What are you looking at" "You" 。She honestly said, “You're so handsome, the more I look at you, the more handsome you become.” 。He was helpless, “Just now I gritted my teeth and wanted to seal the deity.” 。Women, they are truly fickle. 。"Go back!" He helped the person up, "You've paid the price, you don't need to come here anymore." 。" "um" 。Ye Wen stood up obediently, taking his arm and walking away without looking back. 。
Even at night, the gravesite was strewn with a few unburned yellow paper offerings. As soon as an oil paper umbrella was opened, the rain quickly soaked them through. 。She glanced back and then said to Shi Liyuan, "I've heard people say before that burning these paper money without any government seal when visiting graves is really a lack of morals." 。But I suppose, compared to those who stayed up all night and did all sorts of things, I'm not really that bad. 。"Oh! Men!" Shi Liyuan's forehead was covered in sweat. How could he have brought down so many people with just one strike He is a man too, and not all men are bad. 。When they went down the mountain, the members of the Ye clan were waiting for them at the foot of the mountain. When they saw them come down, Clan Head Ye Feng immediately stepped forward and said, “There is a custom among civilians that when visiting graves, one must have a feast upon returning, and this feast cannot be held at home. Therefore, we booked a table at a restaurant in the county. Miss Fourth and Lord Emperor, please join us! Customs must not be broken!”Ye Wenyan had no objections, nor did Shi Lifeng. The group then boarded a carriage and headed for the restaurant. 。Feng Zhaolian took the pipa from her sleeve and asked Ye Wenyan, "What does it eat Turtles usually eat meat, right I think they can also eat fish, but not cooked." 。"Then we'll go to the restaurant later and order some sashimi for it" Guan Bao was speechless, "I'm a spirit turtle, I'm not some unintelligent wild turtle. I can eat cooked food, I don't like raw stuff." 。"Shi Li Yuan nodded, "Before it did indeed eat cooked food. Fish caught from the river had to be cooked before eating, and even then, its bones had to be removed." 。“As he thought about all this, he remembered how he had done all these things in the past. He even recalled a time when he hadn't caught any big fish and had been dissatisfied with his lack of success. His master, Yan Wudou, had even punished him for it.” 。The past is unbearable to recall. He was undoubtedly successful in his cultivation, the most outstanding disciple under his master's tutelage. Yet, it was all because of this old turtle that his master would reprimand him every few days. 。 。His thoughts hadn't ceased, and every time he thought of these things, he became angry. He snorted coldly at Feng Zhaolian: "Although we're eating cooked food, it doesn't have to be meat. When we get to the restaurant, just stir-fry some vegetables for it!"Guan Bao felt that Shi Liyuan was too mean. This kid hadn't seen him for a few hundred years, and he had become much worse than before. 。elp, Examining in detail will be more thorough and meticulous than if we did it ourselves. 。Okay, let's not talk about this. It's almost lunchtime. You go see Wǎntíng, and I'll go check on the dishes...
