The ancient locust tree was sick? He even invited someone to see it. The mulberry leaves were very surprised.
If there is no special reason, most people will never plant locust trees with ominous meanings, and they will not specifically ask someone to see them after the locust tree becomes sick. The owner of this family respects the sick ancient locust tree so much that it only means that the ancient locust tree is unusual and that the owner of the ancient locust tree must be saved.
"Oh, Shopkeeper Song, if I knew what was going on, I didn't have to come and ask you to do it in panic!" The servant's face turned pale in a hurry. The next words verified the speculation of Sang Ye: "This ancient locust tree was fine two days ago. The leaves began to wilt yesterday, and today it was even more amazing. The leaves fell down. This is the treasure of the Fang family. If it really has three or two shorts, it would really cost a life!"
After hearing this, the wrinkles between the eyebrows became a little deeper and said to the servant: "Wait a minute, I will go back to the house to get a few things first. The ancient locust is afraid that it is not because of lightning strikes."
When the servant heard this, he hurriedly urged: "Shopkeeper Song, then you should be as soon as possible, my master can't wait."
Manager Song frowned and nodded while heading into the house. When he passed by the Sang brothers and sisters, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up and asked Sang Ye tentatively: "Mrs. said he wanted to buy flowers and plant a garden. I think his wife is a master of flower cultivation. Do you dare to ask her if she has any experience in the diseases of plants and trees?"
After hearing this, Mang Ye instantly understood the intention of Shopkeeper Song. He became more and more certain that the sick ancient locust tree was not simple. I am afraid that even the owner of the ancient locust tree had some status.
After thinking about it, the mulberry leaves remained unmoved and said modestly: "I can't talk about my experience, but I have learned from the big flower tree for a few years, and I can analyze some of the common diseases."
Manager Song was overjoyed and sincerely invited him: "Mrs. I also heard about the ancient locust tree in Fang's family. I wonder if my wife can go to Fang's family to see the ancient locust tree?"
"This..." Sang Ye said cautiously, "My little trick is unlikely to come in handy. If anything is wrong, I am afraid that it will offend the noble person."
Manager Song waved his hands repeatedly: "Madam, don't worry, the owner of the Fang family is not an unreasonable and arrogant person, and he is the wife invited by me. No matter what the final result is, I will not implicate my wife. I also ask my wife to give me a little bit of my face and go to the Fang family with me."
It has been said that, and if you refuse, it will be pretentious. Sang Ye gave a gift to Manager Song and agreed.
Although I don’t know why Manager Song brought the Sang brothers and sisters, the Fang family’s subordinates knew about Manager Song’s character, so they didn’t ask much.
On the way, Mang Ye asked inadvertently about the doubts in his heart, and gradually learned from the shopkeeper Song about the basic situation of the Fang family and the reason why the Fang family valued an unknown ancient locust tree.
The Fang family is a famous family that has been passed down in Yunlai County for more than two hundred years. It was originally just an ordinary merchant, but in recent years, the family has successively produced two Beijing officials who have been promoted by imperial examinations, which has allowed the Fang family to get rid of the identity of merchants and become a famous family in the local area.
Not to mention the small Yunlai County, even in the prefecture of the Fang family, the Fang family also has some reputation. The local authorities will give some slight face. All of this is attributed to the ancient locust that the Fang family has supported at home for two hundred years.
Two hundred years ago, the Fang family had just moved from elsewhere to Yunlai County to settle down. At that time, the Fang family had a little bit of property and built a shop in the city to do business. Who would have thought that the shops with good goods in the obvious location but suffered losses year by year, and could not hold on in the fourth year, and they were about to sell their houses to pay off their debts.
The Fang family's ruler did not want to let the good family business be defeated in his own hands. Just as he was thinking about finding the problem, a monk came to beg for alms and told the root of the failure of the Fang family: the family soul is not safe, and the blessing is not there.
The merchants were very sensitive to ghosts and gods. When they heard that the family was defeated, the family soul was absent and could not be protected, the Fang family was in a position to believe it and hurriedly asked the monk for a way to resolve it.
The monk said that the reason why the Fang family's soul was not in the Fang family was because the Fang family was an outsider, and the family soul was still in their hometown and did not follow him. As long as you plant an ancient locust tree in the yard and do a ritual, you can attract the family souls, so that they can settle down here and then protect the Fang family's prosperity and prosperity.
With an attitude of believing that one would rather believe than believing that one would not be without, the Fang family's ruler followed the monk's conspiracy.
The explanation was that he soon ordered someone to find an ancient locust tree that was 800 years old and planted it in the courtyard specially designated by the monk, and asked someone to take good care of it.
When the ancient locust blossomed with new leaves, the Fang family's ruler invited the monk to do a ritual to invite the soul.
Coincidentally, on the third day after the ritual was completed, an outside business trip was welcomed in the Fang family's shop. He bought most of the Fang family's goods at one time, which made the Fang family, which was almost unable to support it, and this made the Fang family more convinced that it was Gu Huai's credit.
In the past 100 years, the Fang family's business became better and better, and it grew bigger and bigger. It expanded from one shop to dozens, and its business went from a county town to a prefecture city, and even the capital city had two sub-colons.
In addition, every generation of the Fang family will produce a scholar, who is not a scholar or a scholar. In short, the Fang family has changed their families and ordinary merchants have become scholarly families.
The second and third generations of the Fang family have successively produced two Jinshis. The third generation has already been in the third rank before his death, and the second generation is still in office, and has also soared to become a fourth-rank official in Beijing. It is not impossible to become a third-rank or even a second-rank before retreating.
All of this made the Fang family almost treat the ancient locust as their ancestors, for fear that the ancient locust would at least affect their fortunes. Therefore, even if the Fang family is powerful and powerful, their legitimate branches still follow the ancestral teachings and live in a small place in Yunlai County, without moving to the vast world in the prefecture or even the capital.
The Fang family’s affairs are not a secret in Yunlai County, so Manager Song said it very carefully. In recent years, in addition to asking the servants to take good care of the ancient locust trees, the Fang family has also hired Song, a master of flower and tree maintenance expert, as the "doctor" of the ancient locust trees, just in case.
After talking about the origin of the Fang family and Guhuai, the shopkeeper Song took the initiative to mention the dilemma that Guhuai encountered: "A heavy thunderstorm occurred more than 20 days ago. I think my wife should still remember it. That night, thunder struck all night. Who would have thought that Guhuai, who had not been struck by lightning for hundreds of years, was struck by lightning. The main trunk cracked from the middle, and it almost did not cause a fire. It was a blessing in disgrace..."
But even if Gu Huai escaped the death disaster and the main trunk was severely damaged, it would not be much better. Previously, Manager Song was invited by the Fang family and took more than ten days to rescue the locust tree. Who would have thought that in just a few days, Gu Huai had an accident again, and it was unlikely that it was caused by "old injuries", which made Manager Song feel a little unsure.
-------------------
There can be no ghosts after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so the soul of the Fang family is purely nonsense. Just look at it, don't be careful.
