I looked at the Kitchen God, Family God and Door God standing in front of me and said, "Three Gods, now that they bring this topic up, that's exactly what I want to say. Starting tonight, I will leave our master, Hou Dabao." I no longer enjoy offerings at the altar table set up for me at home. I want to go to work at the Macau Hades Dongcheng District Cigarette Monopoly Co., Ltd. I was hired. Director Gu of this company hired me as the general manager.
Maybe it's fate. I came out of a casino tonight and ran into him. He even smoked a cigarette for me, so I'm not hungry yet. He asked me to go to his company immediately to take up my new job. I said that I would come back and say hello to my master Hou Dabao. After all, he had been a donor to me for many years and treated me well. I had no way to repay him, but I should say thank you. of. Of course, I have relationships, friendships, and feelings with all the gods. You are very kind to me, so I should also say thank you!
Hearing this, the Kitchen God, Household God and Door God all clapped and cheered one after another, saying congratulations, congratulations, you will be prosperous in the future, don't forget to come here to visit us.
that's for sure. I spoke so emotionally at the time, but I still don’t know whether I will come to Hou Dabao’s house in the future.
The family god said, I have heard that you used to be the general manager of the Qianshan County Printing and Dyeing Company in Dongtu Kingdom in the underworld, and now you have been appointed as the general manager of the Dongcheng District Cigarette Monopoly Co., Ltd. in the underworld of Macau and Hades. This is regarded as an official reinstatement, which is gratifying. .
Kitchen God said, before you leave, you should say hello to our host Hou Dabao. After all, he treats you very well, and his wife Xiao Jiayu also treats you well.
I smiled and listened to them, but said nothing, only nodding occasionally.
The family god also said that you were good to Hou Dabao's family. You secretly used your Yigen power to help him win a lot of money from gambling. Even if he doesn't win money, it is guaranteed that he will not lose money. If you hadn't protected him like the God of Wealth, he would have lost everything.
Also, you helped his wife Xiao Jiayu. When Xiao Jiayu suffered from that nasty disease, you persuaded her to do good deeds, sell living animals, release animals, and eat vegetarian food. Within a few years, her rectal cancer was cured without treatment. It is said that the last time I went to the hospital for a re-examination, the tumor on my rectum had completely disappeared.
At this moment, only the door god turned his head, took a breath, and said unhappily, Mr. Qin, if you leave, we will be miserable.
I became nervous, walked around to him and asked, how should I say this?
The door god explained, think about it, as soon as you leave, he likes to gamble. Without your secret protection, he will definitely lose. If he loses money, he will feel that you did not protect him, and he will not give you a confession. It doesn't matter, you just go away and find a better place elsewhere, but we are miserable, no one comes to offer sacrifices, so what are we enjoying?
This is a problem. The house god and the kitchen god said in unison.
I also thought it was a problem, so I raised my hand and touched my head, and then said to them, Gods, don't worry, I have come up with a way to make Hou Dabao and his wife insist on offering sacrifices in front of my altar table, like Your needs for sacrificial offerings will be met as before.
Thank you then. The door god, kitchen god and household god all said in unison and knelt down in front of me and kowtowed.
I said, please, three gods, please stop killing me. I, Tan Caixing, am at best a shady person and a ghost, and I can’t match your merits. You are the door god, kitchen god, and household god, and you are a god. What about me? Nothing.
At this point, he felt ashamed and immediately knelt down and bowed to the door god, kitchen god and household god who were standing up. Then he stood up, said goodbye, and went to find the departed souls of Hou Dabao and his wife who were sleeping.
Hou Dabao and his wife were kneeling and worshiping in front of a new grave on the hillside behind Hou Zhuang's house in Wujin Mountain in the Central Plains of Eastern Tu Kingdom. I went out from Hou Dabao's house for a long time to find this location, and found them in a flash of thought.
If I were not a Yin person - a ghost, but a Yang person - a human with a bulky body, it would be impossible to find them so quickly. You have to at least take a plane from Macau to the Eastern Territory! After getting off the plane, I had to transfer several times to reach my destination far away in the Central Plains of Eastern Land. Just say go, don't say back, it will take a day or two. But now I found Hou Dabao and his wife, of course it was their spirit bodies. It only took a second or two, which was really fast.
At this time, I saw Hou Dabao and his wife kneeling in front of a new grave. I didn't "move" them. I just stood next to the side and knelt down, and kowtowed a few times. Hou Dabao and his wife suddenly discovered that an uninvited guest came to perform sacrificial rituals. They were very surprised. They stood up and looked at me one after another. They only saw my side profile and did not recognize me yet.
Hou Dabao asked which neighbor came to pay homage. If my father is alive in heaven, he must be very happy. I immediately stood up and faced each other, and they recognized me. The couple asked in unison, Qin Caishen, why did you get here?
Wouldn't you like to kowtow to your father who is buried in this geomantic treasure land? Let me ask a rhetorical question and then introduce the topic, am I looking for you?
Xiao Jiayu rushed to answer for her husband. Is it necessary to go so far to find him? Have you ever gone to our hometown, Wujin Mountain Houzhuang, in the Central Plains of Dongtu Kingdom to look for it? Can't he be found in our house? Why do it in such a hurry?
Of course you can't find him, not even you. Let me put it bluntly, your physical bodies have fallen into a deep sleep and your souls have left. What is the use of finding your physical bodies in your home? We can't talk, the body is just the house of the soul, and the soul is its master. If I don't look for the master, who should I look for? I smiled and said, I want to say goodbye to you and your wife tonight. I can no longer enjoy the offerings and incense you prepared for me at home in vain, so I am in such a hurry.
Hou Dabao glanced at the new tomb, then looked at me and said, "Qin Caishen, don't talk about this matter here. Come sit in my hometown first and have a cup of tea."
I also felt that it was inappropriate to say such things in a cemetery, so I walked down the hillside with the couple and came to an old house. There were upper and lower halls with a patio in the middle. We sat on a wooden bench next to a square table in the lower hall. They exchanged some insignificant words on the bench.
A gray-haired mother, Hou Dabao's mother, was burning incense in front of Hou Dabao's father's memorial tablet. The so-called memorial tablet was just a wooden frame with Hou Dabao's father's portrait placed on a table against the wall.
Seeing that my mother had finished burning the incense, I walked over to say hello. Madam, I'm sorry to disturb you. Mom said, where where? Hou Dabao quickly pointed at me and introduced, Mom, he is Qin Caishen who often helps me make money secretly.
Oh, it’s time to thank this God of Wealth. Mom replied politely, her face wrinkled with a smile, but she was still energetic.
At this time, Xiao Jiayu said in front of her mother that Qin Caishen often secretly helped Dabao...
Hou Dabao glared at her and she shut up. Hou Dabao knew that it was impossible for her to say that Qin Caishen secretly helped him win money by gambling. My mother has always been orthodox and well-behaved, but she would be unhappy when she heard the word gambling, because in the minds of her and many well-behaved people, gambling is not a decent job and a crooked way, so she was told not to say anything about it.
When I heard Xiao Jiayu say good things about me, I quickly said humbly, where is that? Then I moved my eyes to the memorial tablet of Hou Dabao's father, and saw a row of bold characters written above the frame: Portrait of Comrade Hou Hongzhong. On the left and right sides of the frame was a couplet: The voice of the loving father is still there, and the virtue of the deceased will last forever.
I carefully observed the portrait of Hou Hongzhong. Although he had some age spots on his Chinese-character face, he did not look old. His hair had not turned gray yet. Maybe it was due to his poor hair quality! She looks a little younger than Hou Dabao's mother when she is alive.
At this moment, a slender woman came out of the inner room, carrying a plate of tea, walked to the main room, walked straight towards me and said politely, Sir, please have some tea. Hearing the cry, I immediately turned around to face the spiritual statue, took a cup of tea from the tea tray and held it in my hand. I didn't look at the tea, nor was I in a hurry to drink it. I just looked at the woman, who was very tall. Wearing a pair of flat glasses with gold rims on the bridge of his nose, his face is fair and delicate.
Hou Dabao quickly introduced, this is my sister Hou Jinzhi. Jin Zhi, this is Qin Caishen, he helped me a lot in Macau.
Where did it help? Even if it helps a little bit, it's deserved. I spoke humbly. Somehow, I had a good impression of his sister Hou Jinzhi as soon as I saw her, and I also appreciated her calling me "sir", so I corrected Hou Dabao, saying that it's fine for your sister to call me husband, and don't call her Qin Caishen. Who gave me the title of God of Wealth? Was it you who blocked it?
Hou Dabao followed my wishes and agreed that from now on we will all call you Mr. Qin.
middle! I extended my thumb in approval.
I saw a slight smile on Hou Jinzhi's lips. She turned around, stretched out the tea tray in front of Hou Dabao and Xiao Jiayu and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, please have some tea."
Hou Dabao reached out and pushed the tea tray gently and said to Jinzhi, he wanted to treat his mother to tea first.
My mother heard this and hurriedly replied, "I won't drink. You guys haven't been home for a long time and you are a rare visitor. Please drink first."
I wasn't thirsty at all, so the tea cup I was supposed to take was placed on the table. Seeing that it was the tea served by Hou Jinzhi, whom I had a crush on, I took a sip and then said to Hou Jinzhi, Sister Hou, thank you for the tea.
Hou Jinzhi said softly, "You're welcome." He looked at me and said politely, "Mr. Qin, you and my brother and sister-in-law sit in the hall and wait while I go to the kitchen to get some food and you make a tooth sacrifice."
No, my stomach is full! Leaving soon. With that said, I patted Hou Dabao on the shoulder, then walked around to Xiao Jiayu and my mother and said, thank you, and Tan took his leave.
I walked out of the door, and Hou Dabao and his wife, her mother, and Hou Jinzhi all came out to see me off.
Hou Jinzhi said, Mr. Qin, have a good trip!
Okay, we'll see you later. In a flash, I returned from Wujin Mountain in the Central Plains of the Eastern Land to the street in Macau where I had talked with Gu Junshui, but I kept thinking: Where will I see you next time! You are all living yang people, I am a yin person. It is still possible to meet Hou Dabao and his wife living in Macau in a dream. Mom, I don’t want to say it. I think I will have a date with Hou Jinzhi, but it is really impossible. After all, he She is Yang, and she is still so young. Even if I go to entrust her with dreams, what will it do to see her?
But who would have expected that a year later, Hou Jinzhi, who was 23 years older than me and was pretty and wearing a pair of plain glasses, would become my ghost wife. So how did she die? How can you come to Macao to be my best friend after death? This is what I heard after I became Hou Jinzhi’s groom. Things were very twists and turns, and my feeling can be summed up in four words: a mixture of sadness and joy.
Where is the sadness? Where does joy come from? To say sad! Let’s start with Hou Jinzhi’s mother. My mother dreamed of her husband Hou Hongzhong one night half a year after his death. He told his wife that he had opened a grocery store on the streets of Macau in the underworld. The business was booming, but there was no manpower. He asked his daughter Hou Jinzhi to go with him to help. do business. My wife frowned and said, how can that be done? You are in the underworld and your daughter is in the human world, how can you go there? You are not talking nonsense, I disagree.
There is also a world over there in the underworld. Just ask people in the underworld to help you do business and get a little more salary every month, right? Why are you insisting on your daughter? Let me tell you, I have no objection to asking anyone to help you, but I can’t ask my daughter to go. If you want your daughter to go, I will never be done with you.
