As Qi Bo expected, in the afternoon, the neighbors successively sent generous gifts and greetings to Shen Yun, asking to see Shen Yun.

For a while, the streets and alleys were crowded with people giving gifts.

Thanks to Qi Bo's early preparation, he asked Lao Luo to help Uncle Ding temporarily, and was responsible for registering and verifying the gift list. Even so, the two were busy.

When it was almost time for dinner, they were finally busy.

The big guys counted around the table, and soon came to the conclusion that the neighbors in the front and back three streets were almost complete. The only one who didn't come was the Chen family at the corner of the street.

"That's not right. "On the morning of the first day of the new year, they were the first to come to pay their respects. Why is there a lack of their family today? Isn't it clear?"

Uncle Ding shook his head vigorously: "Impossible." Even if I miss a post, can I still miss the gift list?"

Lao Luo also said: "I really didn't receive the Chen family's gift list. ”

"Probably tomorrow. Qi Bo didn't pay too much attention to it, got up and picked up the sorted posts and gift lists, and went to the east wing, "I'm going to see Shen Ye up." ”

When he arrived at the porch over there, Shen Yun just opened the door and came out.

"You're up. I don't know if dinner is ready, I'll take a look. Qi Bo presented the post and gift list to Shen Yun, and he happily went to the kitchen.

Shen Yun had come out for dinner, and when he heard this, he returned to the house with a half-foot-thick handful of posts and gift lists.

After a while, Qi Bo came back and brought him a cup of bird's nest: "Master Shen, you have to wait for dinner for a while, you drink a cup of bird's nest to pad your stomach first." ”

Shen Yun thanked him, took it, and asked, "Qi Bo, how to deal with these gifts?" This time, not only the neighbors on this street sent generous gifts, but also the neighbors in the front and back streets were also complete. Last time, there was a New Year's greeting, but this time, it was purely a gift to ask for a meeting. The first time he encountered this situation in his life, he didn't know what customs and habits of Xiandu were this, and he didn't know how to take these generous gifts for a while. Fortunately, there are Qi Bo and Lao Luo around these old immortals who can ask.

Qi Bo smiled: "They have seen your divine power today, and they have the intention of clinging to the gift. In these posts, if you feel that you have an eye, please stay and arrange a time to meet them, if you don't want to see them, just return the posts and the gifts. These are small things that you don't have to worry too much about. After a pause, he added, "The three streets before and after are almost all here." Only the old man's house at the corner of the street is missing. ”

Shen Yun also noticed it, smiled indifferently, and pushed away the post and gift list: "Then I'll see them in the next two days." It's up to you to decide what the time is. These gifts were also put into the treasury. He had seen it, and it was all silver and gold, and silk and silk. He is not short of money, and since he has received gifts from the neighbors, he will have favors in the future. He didn't want to be distracted by these trivial matters, so he simply took it out, put it in the public school, and handed it over to Qi Bo to take care of.

"Okay. Qi Bo smiled sweetly, and the corners of his mouth grinned behind his ears. He thought that Shen Ye would be angry, and he didn't see any of them. Because in the morning, these people gathered in the front yard of the Huang family, standing by and watching the excitement. Unexpectedly, Shen Ye was so young, but he was so broad-minded, he directly turned over the matter and did not pursue anything. In addition, Shen Ye handed over such a large amount of property to him to take care of, which was enough to show his trust in him.

What a benevolent heart. Following such a person, he feels very down-to-earth!

That night, he lit the lamp, made a book, registered all the gifts, and was busy until it was almost time before he went to bed.

Early the next morning, he was about to go to the east wing to report to Shen Yun with the account book, and Uncle Ding limped over: "Qi Bo, something happened." ”

"Huh?" Early in the morning, it was the first month of the year, and Qi Bo's whole person was not good.

Without waiting for him to ask in detail, Uncle Ding spat three times on the ground in a row. At the end, he slapped himself in the mouth in embarrassment: "Look at my mouth! It was the Chen family at the corner of the street that had an accident. ”

No wonder they were missing yesterday. Qi Bo breathed a sigh of relief: "What's the matter?"

Uncle Ding replied, "Master Chen went yesterday. When I went to sweep the gate just now, I saw a white cloth and a white lantern hanging at the door of their house. ”

Now I haven't even been fifteen, something has happened, and I am very unlucky. Therefore, for fear of colliding with the neighbors, they generally only hang white cloths and white lanterns, and do not cry.

"Ouch, doesn't Master Chen look like a very tough person?" Qi Bo was very surprised, but he didn't say anything more. He shook his head, "This matter has to be reported to Shen Ye." Whether to send the funeral or not, Shen Ye has to make an idea. ”

Shen Yun is unscrupulous, and he doesn't have any bad luck. Thinking of the first day of the new year, Mr. Chen brought all the men in the family to come over to pay respects for the New Year, and felt that this matter could not be ignored. However, he really didn't have any experience in this area and didn't know what to do. I can only ask Ziber again.

"It's not relatives and friends, between neighbors, if you don't feel unlucky, I'll call Lao Luo later, send a tribute to the past, and give Master Chen a pillar of incense. Ziber replied. Yesterday, Shen Ye punched out his identity and status in this area. For the Chinese New Year, you can send someone to put incense on Master Chen, which is called a big lift. is benevolent enough to the Chen family.

Shen Yun nodded: "Okay, you can arrange it." ”

After talking about the Chen family, Qi Bo presented the account books to Shen Yun for a look.

"Good. After the latter finished flipping, he returned it to him satisfied, "In the future, you will have to worry more about family affairs." "Now that he is not short of money in hand, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, he has to focus on martial arts, and he doesn't want to distract himself from these chores.

"Yes. Qi Bo and Uncle Ding responded in unison. Shen Ye is a person who wants to do big things, how can he be distracted by these trivial things? They follow Shen Ye, and they can't do anything else, so they can arrange the family properly, so that Shen Ye can devote himself to doing big things. That's when they did their duty.

After breakfast, Qi Bo prepared a funeral ceremony and sent it to Chen's house with Lao Luo.

After putting a pillar of incense in front of Master Chen's spirit, the two of them said "Festival mourning and change" to Uncle Chen, and left—the two families usually have no contact. Moreover, the family has been really busy in the past two days, and so many neighbors are lining up to see Shen Ye. Where is the time to sit for a long time?

Out of the Chen family, Lao Luo's face was full of suspicion: "Qi Bo, don't you think there is something wrong with the Chen family?" Qi Bo also felt it. However, he didn't elaborate, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think is wrong?"

Lao Luo replied: "Second Master Chen is not here. When I received the ceremony, I only saw his only son in the pile of filial sons. "According to the customs of Xiandu, Chen Erye and Chen Ergrandma must have one of them in the mourning hall, which is called Shouli.

Qi Bo nodded: "I'm afraid that the two brothers have quarreled." "On this street, who doesn't know, Second Master Chen is useless, it is his father and brother who raise him, as well as his wife and children. When Master Chen was there, Uncle Chen didn't dare to squeak. Now, Master Chen is gone, and it is normal for Uncle Chen to be unwilling to continue to support his brother's family. This kind of thing in the mourning hall of the parents, the brother turned his face, there could not be more.

The two sighed and didn't say anything more.

As everyone knows, as soon as the two of them went out, Second Master Chen rushed out from behind, his face full of joy: "Big brother, Shen Ye sent someone to send Dian Yi over." In other words, no one told him. Then I can give my father linen and filial piety, is it ......"

Uncle Chen ignored him, but with a straight face, he asked the two family members who chased out: "What do you think of looking at Chen Ye?"

The two family members couldn't help but shudder: "Little ......"

"Fifty boards per person. After the funeral, go and collect the punishment yourself. If there is a next time, the whole family will sell it together. Uncle Chen waved his hand, "What are you doing in a daze? Don't invite Chen Ye to the back!"

"Big brother......" Second Master Chen shouted. However, the two housekeepers had already rushed up, gagged him with rags, set him up one from left to right, and dragged him directly to the back.

Uncle Chen turned his head and looked at the spiritual position of Master Chen on the offering table, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

Last night, Master Chen finally woke up, but his face was like gold paper, his anger was like a gossamer, and it was not good to look at it. He took his last breath, asked Uncle Chen to open the ancestral hall, asked for a family tree, and crossed out the names of Second Master Chen and his wife in front of everyone.

"In the future, there will only be two Bao'er brothers and sisters in the second room. Boss, you have to teach them well. This evil beast is to be considered dead. After I die, the two of them are not allowed to wear linen and filial piety. Without waiting for the two sons to answer, he used his last strength to say, "The funeral is simple, and it is only allowed to be set for one day." Sell all the family business here, and the day after tomorrow, you will return to your hometown with Fuling and return to your hometown as soon as possible with your family. Don't delay. If you ask someone else to tell Shen Ye, no one in the family will be able to ...... alive" Before he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and went.
