But Bai Shan didn't take it seriously, and insisted: "It's okay, I'll buy some joss stick paper money for Uncle Zhou later, by the way, Man Bao,"
Bai Shan lowered his voice and asked, "Can you help me ask Uncle Zhou if he has seen my father?"
Man Bao: ...
She moved on the chair uncomfortably, and asked, "If so, what do you want to tell him?"
Bai Shan thought for a while and then said: "It's nothing, I just want to ask Uncle Zhou to tell Father that we have accomplished what he wanted to do before he was alive, but it's a pity that we found out too late, and Jianweiyan finally decided." Di, and what’s more, tell him that my grandma and mother and I are doing well, so he can feel at ease.”
Bai Shan was actually a little puzzled, "Ask Uncle Zhou, is there reincarnation in this world? If so, wouldn't they go for reincarnation?"
Man Bao asked Ke Ke, "Is there really no reincarnation in this world?"
Keke: "No one has been found yet."
Man Bao sighed, "It said it didn't know either."
Bai Shan was very clever, and he understood immediately, "So he didn't actually see my father, did he?"
Man Bao hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
For some reason, Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, this is not bad. If he died and watched everything that happened in real life, but was powerless, it would be quite painful.
Thinking of this, Bai Shan rolled his eyes and asked softly, "Is Uncle Zhou still here?"
Man Bao said: "It's gone."
Bai Shan looked at her suspiciously, but still said: "Okay, take the money back, it's just a pony, and I don't need it to be a good horse, I can still afford it, you can ask Zhou about it later. Uncle, do you want to buy him some joss sticks and paper money, or cows and sheep? Usually sacrifices require five animals, right?"
Man Bao, who was just about to shake his head, nodded immediately and said, "I don't want anything else, but if I want sheep and cattle, can you buy them too?"
Bai Shan thought for a while and said, "You have to avoid people's eyes and ears. Is this urgent?"
"Not urgent!"
Bai Shan smiled and said, "That's good. I'll think about it carefully later, and I'll tell you when I think of a good idea."
Bai Shan put the money on the table, got up and said: "Tomorrow, take a rest tomorrow, I will find an excuse to go out with you for a walk."
"Daji will definitely follow, right?"
It was because of Daji's recovery that she felt that she couldn't draw her hand, otherwise she could have changed to another carriage and horse dealer and bought a pony, which would not attract attention.
Bai Shan said: "Then you go to Erliu Lane tomorrow and let Daji take you there."
Man Bao smiled, "I think so too."
The two discussed it, and before going out, Bai Shanlin asked again: "Is there really no need to prepare joss paper money?"
Man Bao: ... No need!
At the same time, Qili Village was beating gongs and drums. Old Zhou Tou ran home holding a piece of yellow silk, and asked Zhou Dalang to prepare incense paper money, "Prepare more, prepare more, not only Burn it for your uncles and aunts, your grandparents, and the ancestors of the old Zhou family... "
The whole Qili Village is boiling, their village, their old Zhou family has an official!
Well, although Guan'er died twelve years ago, he was still Guan'er!
The village chief has already gone to find the old people in the village. Zhou Yin had been removed from the genealogy in order to avoid being traced by the government.
Seeing people running around at home and in the village on Tuesday, Lang couldn't help being embarrassed and rushed to the adult who delivered the imperial decree and official documents, smiled, and said: "My lord, forgive me, my lord, forgive me, my uncle has been wronged for many years, and my father was too excited for a while. .”
Although the officials who came to deliver the decree looked down on their impolite behavior, they didn't show it. He knew that the little girl of the Zhou family was still quietly entering the palace to see a doctor for the queen.
Moreover, when they ran into County Magistrate Yang and County Magistrate Tang who were returning to Beijing on the road, they praised the villagers of Qili Village and the Zhou family a lot in words.
Even if it's to save face for those two, it's not easy for him to show unfriendliness.
On Tuesday Lang was about to invite someone to sit in the house in embarrassment, when Master Bai rushed over after hearing the news, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
The officials could tell that he was a scholar at a glance, the smile on his face was a bit real, and they nodded to Master Bai who was saluting.
Master Bai nodded to Zhou Zhoulang, and together with him invited the officials to settle down at Bai's house, and then came to Zhou's house for a drink when they were having dinner.
The officials glanced at the somewhat chaotic old Zhou's house, nodded, then turned around and went to Bai's house with Mr. Bai Zhou Lang.
Zhou Dalang and Xiaoqian quickly sent away the villagers who were crowded in the old Zhou's house, and then called Zhou Lixue (the third head), "Where did your second uncle take the officials?"
Zhou Lixue said: "Master Bai is here, Second Uncle and Master Bai took them to Bai's house, and said they would come back after dinner."
Zhou Dalang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xiaoqian: "I'll take care of the outside affairs, you take your younger siblings to cook the meals first."
Little Qian nodded, and looked at the main house worriedly.
Zhou Dalang said: "It's okay, father and mother will be fine after crying for a while."
Old Zhou Tou cried because he couldn't help it. He didn't know how big an official Zhou Mu was, and he didn't care about it. He knew that with this, it meant that Manbao was fine in the capital. Her own father was rewarded by the emperor, right
He also knew that with this, Zhou Yin could finally sacrifice in an upright manner, and he didn't have to be afraid of being found out again in the future.
When old Zhou Tou ran back to the house with the yellow silk in his hands, he couldn't hold back his tears from crackling, and Mrs. Qian didn't stop her. She sat on the chair propped up on the table, and wiped away the tears for a while, pressing them down on her heart The big stone and the guillotine hanging around her neck disappeared at once, and her mood was also very complicated.
But she soon came to her senses, wiped away her tears, pushed the crying old Zhou Tou who was holding the yellow silk, snatched the imperial decree from his arms, and said: "Don't cry, come to declare the decree!" The official is still outside, you are the head of the family, you have to support the place, you know?"
Old Zhou was so focused on crying that he didn't hear what she was saying at all.
Mrs. Qian had already placed the yellow silk in front of the statue of Master Tianzun, bowed first, and then repeated it after he calmed down a bit, "The village also has to talk about it, call the village head, the old people in the village, and the village chief." , back then he turned a blind eye to Erlang's matter and let it go, we have to keep it in mind..."
Old Zhou Tou finally came to his senses, wiped away his tears and said, "I'll go right away."
But Zhou Dalang had already made arrangements. He asked Zhou Lixue to go and invite the head of the village, and he and Zhou Ligu (four heads) went to the village head and the old people in the village to set a schedule for the meeting.
Zhou Zhoulang ran to Dali Village next door to buy mutton and pork, while the Feng family went to kill chickens and catch ducks. Kill the geese too.
