"No one is allowed to come near here today, or you will be responsible for the accident. Go and tell the people in the village not to come out these days. We will fix this place for you after we have dealt with it.
Besides, you tell us where the lotus pond is. Let's go and have a look. "
"That's it?" The village head didn't believe it.
Ouyang xuanzi was silent and unwilling to speak.
"That's it. Don't worry." I said, looking at Ouyang xuanzi on one side, the village head had to say: "it's more than ten miles from here. It's the place of our village. Originally, it was a non official's home. The lotus pond was made by a non official. But later, when we caught up with the cultural revolution, he was finished. Everyone tore down his courtyard, left the lotus pond and divided up the land, Our village has been living on this for many years. "
Ouyang xuanzi was going to take a step, but when she heard the village head's words, she suddenly stopped.
Turning around, Ouyang xuanzi asked, "is there another member here?"
"There was a member of the staff, and I also heard from my grandfather. I remember such a thing before, but I don't know how long it has been. I just know that the member's family was very rich. I heard that there was such a family during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. We don't know how rich they were. After they came, they lived in our village, In a word, they were very rich and gave the money to all of us. Later, they took a fancy to a piece of land in our village and bought it with the local officials of our village. At that time, they said that it was in the Qing Dynasty, and that family was not generally rich. The yard was as big as this side of our village, and the carriages were like long dragons on New Year's day.
Maybe our ancestors lied sometimes, but they are very rich, or we can't all say that, do you?
Later, the descendants of this member's family lived here and married a girl in our village. Because she was beautiful, had some culture and was knowledgeable, she was deeply liked by the son of that member's family. Later, she gave birth to a child, and the child married a wife in our village.
In this way, Yuanwai really became a member of our village. My grandfather told me that at that time, when he was a little young, he remembered one thing. Every Spring Festival, Yuanwai's family used a carriage to send things to our village. There were all kinds of good things, of course, all kinds of food and drink.
Later, we got along well from generation to generation, but it was during the cultural revolution that they were criticized for being too rich. It was said that the descendants of that family did not know that everything was dead. It was also said that it was not easy for the remaining daughter-in-law to take a child with her. They could not even eat.
But the people in our village didn't help at all. They not only demolished the walls of the family, but also robbed all the money of the family. They said they wanted to confiscate it, but no one took it out. When someone came from above, they forced the orphans and widows to ask for gold, silver and jewelry.
I heard from my grandfather. Later, the orphans and widows went to the lotus pond and drowned. "
The village head said with a sigh: "it's a pity that the woman is also a member of our village. I heard that she is my cousin. My grandfather said that it was good for him, but my grandfather didn't come back when he was working outside. When he came back, he was dead.
When my grandfather died, my grandfather thought about it. He said that our village was sorry for the family and deserved that our village could not get rich. "
"How many of you know this?" Ouyang xuanzi asked, the village head thought: "how many people know I don't remember, but I listen to my grandfather, other people think it's right to rob the treasure. After all, in such an era, even if you don't rob it, others will rob it.
However, this matter is disgraceful after all. Anyway, our village is ungrateful, eating and drinking every year. In the end, we didn't protect their family and hurt their family. No one would say these things to future generations. As for me, because my grandfather always felt sorry for their family, he told me that it was not just once, I've known about it since I was a child. "
After hearing this, Ouyang xuanzi said, "well, your village is not more poor. It doesn't make you suffer a lot. It's just that you are not rich and cheap, and you are supplied with lotus ponds.
Because they are guests from afar, they buy your land and treat you as a family. In fact, people like you have a lot of knowledge outside. Not to mention the daughters of famous families here, even those who marry royal families should be able to get back. But Yuanwai is a reasonable person, and he must have some advice around him, Tell him that there will be calamities for future generations after many years. If you can rely on the help of people here, his family will turn the bad into the good.
But he really paid by mistake, which led to later things.
So you have nothing to complain about now. "
After listening to Ouyang xuanzi's words, I finally know something about it. It turns out that's how things are.
I looked at the village head very helpless: "heart to heart, heart to beast, you do this thing itself is not good, will let you not get rich, natural and man-made disasters you are hiding, you also eat well, dress warm, to you have been good, don't be dissatisfied."
When I finished, I took a look at Ouyang xuanzi. He said, "let's go to the other side of the lotus pond and have a look. According to what I said, you should ask the villagers not to come out. Otherwise, I can't guarantee you anything."
"Well, I must ask the villagers not to come out. Please rest assured." The village head left in a hurry. Ouyang xuanzi and I went to the front and planned to go to the lotus pond ten miles away.
As we walked along the road, Ouyang xuanzi and I said, "what kind of rich family were they in Qianlong's reign? They lived in seclusion or seclusion here. They can't be Heyao, can they?"
In fact, I just said that. I didn't want Ouyang xuanzi to say, "he Zhen has only one son, so it shouldn't be him."
"Just think I didn't say it." I say that, but I don't think so. In fact, I still have some ideas in my mind. For example, since I was a hermit during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, how did I get rich again in the Republic of China?
There are some inconsistencies in this matter.
"It should be the imperial doctors and other people who came here in the Qianlong period for something they didn't want to be involved in. They took refuge in the world and recuperated here.
After that, he stayed here. In the Republic of China, his family started a business of medicinal materials. If he was a royal doctor, it would be natural for him to have money. Moreover, the villagers who had not seen much of the world would think that it was not surprising for him to have money.
But to put it bluntly, it's just a person who bought a piece of land and enclosed it here with some money.
If people think they are rich, they are rich, but they are not. Who knows.
In fact, it's just better than here, plus charity.
The people here think of them as very rich people. "
"That sounds true." I talked to Ouyang xuanzi and I got to the place unconsciously.
When I look up, a breeze comes vividly, which makes people feel comfortable. There is no lotus on the water wave, but the lotus pond with only lotus leaves has a unique flavor.
