Add updates, please pink.⊥,

The Ji family's ancestors lived in Qingyuan, but they only caught up with the last chaotic times, so they had to leave their hometowns in order to survive. The Ji family has been living outside for several generations and accumulated to become a wealthy person. At this time, the world is stable. Therefore, Old Master Ji's grandfather followed the wishes of his ancestors and brought his wealth back to Qingyuan to settle down.
Because the Ji family had already lost their ancestral property in Qingyuan, when Mr. Ji's grandfather came back, everything would have to be purchased.
The most important one is to explore the blessed land.
"You were still young at that time, and my father was afraid that I wouldn't tell you about it. Today I will tell you and Xiaotang." Master Ji Er said to Master Ji San.
Master Ji San nodded and listened with sternness like Ji Xiaotang.
The ancestor of the Ji family traveled around Qingyuan County and took a look at the land on Qingxi Mountain. That land was originally a land of unowned wasteland. As for why it was related to the Jiang family, there was also a ridiculous story.
The Jiang family was originally a dilapidated house. When the ancestors of the Ji family returned from outside to settle down, the Jiang family was even more dilapidated. It can be said that there was no tiles above and no place to stand. At that time, the head of the Jiang family, namely Jiang Qingshan's ancestor, was a bad gambling ghost and had a big sore body. He had no capital. In order to gamble with people, he once plagued his wife and children. People did not remember his name, just called him Jiang Gambling.
Jiang Qingshan's ancestor was such a scoundrel, and he was desperate. He was about to die of starvation. At this moment, he heard that the ancestors of the Jiang family had surveyed the blessed land. The Jiang gambling insect suddenly had a plan.
Jiang Gaichuan dug out his parents' corpses from the mass grave overnight and buried them secretly into the blessed land that the ancestors of the Ji family paid for. When the ancestors of the Ji family paid the money in the yamen and made a red contract, Jiang Gaichuan came with his family and stopped the ancestors of the Ji family from accepting the land, saying that the land was his family's cemetery.
Everyone knew that this was nonsense, so they laughed at Jiang Gambling and said that he was crazy about money.
Jiang Gambling swore a swearing, saying that if he had a lie, he would thunder and break his son and grandson. () At that time, in order to prove that what he said was not false, he pointed out the place where his parents were buried.
Originally, such a scoundrel was unwilling to provoke him even in the yamen. However, the ancestors of the Ji family were rich. In order to please the ancestors of the Ji family, the people in the yamen said that they would just kill the river gambling insects away.
"But our great-grandfather is kind-hearted. He said that if the Jiang Gambling Cymbus had not been desperate, he would not have done such a thing." Master Ji Er sighed and said.
The ancestors of the Ji family knew that Jiang gambling insects only wanted silver and money. Some silver and money were simply trivial for him, but Yujiang gambling insects could support the lives of the whole family.
When Jiang Gambling saw that the ancestor of the Ji family was soft-hearted, he immediately spoke up. He said that he was unwilling to give up his parents' graves when he died, but seeing that the ancestor of the Ji family was a good person, he was willing to make this friend. Jiang Gambling proposed that as long as he gave him 200 taels of silver, he would immediately let his parents make room.
In Qingyuan at that time, two hundred taels of silver could be bought for a good three-entry house. Ordinary families might not be able to save such a sum of silver even if they worked hard all their lives.
Everyone thinks that Jiang Gambling is too big. Even if the ancestors of the Ji family have a fortune, they will not be able to give Jiang Gambling so much money for nothing.
However, beyond everyone's expectations, and even beyond the expectations of Jiang Gambling (he originally thought of asking for a price everywhere and paying the money on the spot, it would be good if the ancestor of the Ji family could give him dozens of taels of silver). The ancestor of the Ji family gave the money very happily.
Jiang Gambler got such a large sum of money, so he was really a bachelor. In front of everyone, he used only his own hands to open his parents' grave, dug out the corpse, put it away in a broken sack, and buried it back in the mass grave again.
After Master Ji Er finished talking about this past, Master Ji San opened his mouth wide in shock.
This is simply a plot that only appears in the legendary storybook!
"It seems that digging my own ancestral grave and storing my parents' bones is a skill passed down by the Jiang family!" Master Ji San was stunned for a while and exclaimed.
Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jiang Qingshan dug up his parents' grave, bury their bodies into the Ji family's blessed land, and then crushed their parents' bones with their hands, and found two corpses from the mass grave to pretend to be his parents.∏∈, Ji Xiaotang thought that Jiang Qingshan's actions were simply horrifying. It turned out that Jiang Qingshan's ancestor had done something similar.
"I don't know whether Jiang Qing Shanzhi knew about this past event?" Ji Xiaotang said.
"I definitely don't know." Master Ji San said.
Master Ji Er nodded too.
Later, the Jiang family relied on the Ji family and the family. Such a rogue black history was so unwilling to mention it again, and would not reveal the family scandal in front of their descendants. As a result, over time, I don’t know how it became a completely opposite story when it came to Jiang Qingshan’s ears.
"Jiang Qingshan's grandfather has the style of being a ancestor. He is even more rogue than Jiang gambling insects, but his courage and mind are not as good as that of him." Master Ji Er said.
After waiting for a while, Master Ji Er saw that Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything anymore.
Mrs. Ji Er's eyes swept over the two of them, sighed softly, and then smiled slightly.
"What's wrong with Daddy?" Ji Xiaotang asked immediately.
"I remember something." Master Ji Er said, "When your grandfather talked about this, your uncle and I were present. Your uncle and I asked your grandfather, saying that his great-grandfather was too soft-hearted and shouldn't have given so much money to Jiang bet worms at that time, and later he shouldn't have used Jiang bet worms. But neither of you asked that."
Ji Xiaotang said oh, and vaguely understood something.
"The second brother and the eldest brother asked my father this way, how did his father answer?" Master Ji San asked.
"I will tell you this answer later. Third brother, Xiaotang, tell me, why did my ancestor of the Ji family be willing to give Jiang betting insects a lot of money, and why did he reuse Jiang betting insects afterwards?"
"The ancestor returned to Qingyuan, and it can be said that he had no foundation. I said it clearly before to give Jiang gambling money. It is not that he cannot deal with Jiang gambling blackmail, but that he just pity his family to be desperate and gave life-saving money. This move of the ancestor must have caused a sensation in Qingyuan and has established the name of kindness from then on." Ji Xiaotang said.
Master Ji Er smiled and nodded.
"What else?"
"Along with that, my ancestors probably fell in love with Jiang Gambling's cruelty, terrible, and terrible." Ji Xiaotang said after a moment of thinking. Jiang Gambling's obvious is not a good person, but in this world, there are not many people who can seize the opportunity so accurately, do such things without hesitation and without any psychological burden.
The ancestors of the Ji family fell in love with the availability of Jiang gambling insects.
Master Ji Er lowered his eyes, was silent for a while before sighing softly.
"Dad, what I said is wrong?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"No, you're right. This is what your grandfather told me and your uncle and the ancestors to stay behind... Your uncle and I didn't expect this, and I just thought that we shouldn't give people like Jiang Gambling from the beginning."
When Mr. Ji told this story, Mr. Ji Er and Mr. Ji were both adults and had a successful study. Ji Xiaotang's mind and vision were even better than two adult men like them.
"The idea of Dad and Uncle is not wrong," Ji Xiaotang said, "The era and things that our ancestors lived in were completely different from Dad and Uncle."
At that time, the ancestors of the Ji family had just had peace. The ancestors of the Ji family had experienced chaos. His ideas tended to be heroes in troubled times, which was of course different from Master Ji and Master Ji Er who grew up in a peaceful world.
What Master Ji and Mr Ji Er have experienced and pursued are stability.
"Xiaotang's words make sense, and they are even more obvious." Master Ji Er said appreciatively.
Since Ji Xiaotang can tell the availability of Ji family's ancestors who fell in love with Jiang gambling insects, there are many things he no longer needs to tell Ji Xiaotang.
The ancestors of the Ji family returned to Qingyuan. As Ji Xiaotang said, they had no foundation. How could they settle so many industries by relying solely on silver and money, gain a foothold in Qingyuan and become an existence that everyone looks up to in Qingyuan?!
"Didn't Xiaotang also grow up in a peaceful and prosperous era? Shouldn't he have the same ideas as his elder brother and second brother? How could he have the same views as his ancestors?" Master Ji San kept thinking and suddenly asked.
Ji Xiaotang's eyes were circulating.
Who said she had been growing up in a peaceful and prosperous era? She had been in chaos and had died in a chaotic era.
"Even if you grow up in troubled times, you may not have the mind and knowledge of your ancestors. Xiaotang is quite like the ancestors of my Ji family." Master Ji Er said.
As Master Ji Er spoke, he stood up and walked a few steps in the room.
"I thought I wouldn't tell you some things. But seeing that your uncle and nephew have grown up well over the past year, I think I'd better tell you." Mr. Ji Er finally stopped in front of Mr. Ji's little statue and said.
Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San were both busy sitting upright.
"The great-grandfather is well versed in the Book of Changes, is good at Feng Shui, and is good at divination. The river gambling insects take their parents' corpses to extort them. They get a large sum of money from the great-grandfather, and think they have taken advantage of it. What the great-grandfather sees is something else."
"What is it?" Master Ji San couldn't help asking.
"Gourmeal." Mr. Ji Er slowly said two words, "The actions of Jiang gambling insects in that year violated human ethics and ruined the fate of the Jiang family... From then on, they were used by me and provided for the merit of the descendants of my Ji family."
The last sentence is the original words of the ancestors of the Ji family.
"My father only told me this sentence." Master Ji Er said again. It turned out that Master Ji only told Master Ji Er to this sentence, and even Master Ji did not tell him.
Today, Master Ji Er told Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San again.
"You only remember it in your heart, I'm afraid you won't need to mention it to your younger generations in the future." Master Ji Er gave another advice.
The meaning of this sentence is quite rich.
