Chapter 184 Xie’s experience and nephew

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the Governor-General of Guangzhou had an experience (an official position in ancient times, responsible for handling official documents, equivalent to the current secretary or office director). His name was Xie Kun, who was from Shaoxing, Zhejiang.

Soon after, his nephew Lu was appointed as a patrol inspector in Guangdong (a minor official in charge of local security, with a low official rank of only ninth grade.), so he brought his mother, wife, and son with his family from Zhejiang. Arrived in Guangdong.

The nephew and uncle were naturally very happy and happy to be able to get together.

After Lu took office, he found that the official position was too small and he was marginalized everywhere. So I wrote a letter to my uncle, hoping that he could help me, and asked my superiors to change me to a good job.

The nephew has a request, and Xie Kun, as an uncle, of course cannot turn a blind eye.

Xie Kun traveled around for him, socializing with various bosses, and finally found a way to help Lu transfer to Macau.

After Lu arrived in Macau, although the local income was far higher than before, due to its proximity to the sea and remote geographical location, there was inevitably some smog.

So, the nephew wrote to his uncle and asked again for transfer.

Xie Kun hated him for being too greedy. This mountain looked at the high mountain, so he did not agree to him.

Less than two months later, Xie Kun received another letter from Lu.

The letter said: "My nephew is sick, please help me quickly! I'm afraid my life will be in danger if it's too late!"

Although Xie Kun didn't like his nephew's frivolity and greed, Nian Zai was his nephew after all, and his sister was already old. What should he do if there were any shortcomings?

He wanted to help, but he was afraid that his boss would be angry, so he couldn't say anything for a while.

When he was hesitating, he suddenly saw his nephew Lu appearing in front of him while taking a nap at noon.

Lu complained complainingly: "Uncle, you misunderstood me! I repeatedly asked my uncle to save me, but he just refused to reply! Now my nephew has been poisoned by the miasma, and the treatment failed and passed away! His mother, wife and son have already taken advantage of the miasma." When the boat arrives at the seaside outside the city, please ask my uncle to greet it as soon as possible."

After saying that, Lu began to cry bitterly.

Xie Kun was shocked and woke up immediately.

Immediately, he saw someone staggering through the door and reported to him: "Your nephew Lu died a few days ago, and now his family members are carrying the coffin outside the city!"

Only then did Xie Kun realize that what he had just seen in his dream was the soul of his nephew.

Xie Kun rushed outside the city, welcomed his nephew's family members to his official residence, placed his nephew's coffin in the temple, and invited monks to perform Buddhist rituals for his salvation.

The monk reads out the prayer document and invites the host to burn incense in front of the spirit.

Suddenly, everyone saw a man wearing an official uniform and official hat, walking out from behind the screen to salute.

The monk did not know who he was.

Lu's son was kneeling in front of the soul. When he looked up, he saw that the man was his father. He quickly ran forward in surprise, calling his father and saying hello to the man.

The man said nothing and then disappeared.

The monks and relatives were surprised.

After a period of time, Xie Kun's sister lived in Xie Kun's home with her daughter-in-law and grandson.

On this day, the Suxinlan in Xie Kun's study bloomed. Lu's son was playful. When he saw the flowers blooming, he broke off a branch and played with it in his hands.

This Suxinlan was Xie Kun's favorite thing. When he saw the flower he had carefully cultivated being broken by a child, he couldn't help but get angry and beat him several times.

At this moment, Xie Kun suddenly jumped out when he saw his nephew, and said angrily: "My son is still young, playful and ignorant! Why should uncle beat him for a mere flower?! I want your flower!" Break them all!"

Xie Kun also wanted to say something like "children should be disciplined from an early age", but Lu couldn't help but split all the orchid leaves into two halves in an instant.

Seeing this, Xie Kun could only sigh, shake his head, and give up with a wry smile.

After living there for more than a month, Xie Kun's sister wanted to transport her son Lu's coffin back to her hometown in Shaoxing, Zhejiang for burial.

Although Xie Kun felt sorry for his sister, after all, this was human nature and it was not easy to keep her.

So, he hired a boat and asked his sister's family to take the coffin back to their hometown.

When we untied the mooring rope at the dock and were about to sail, a fellow villager from Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province also wanted to transport the coffin of his relative back home. In order to save money, he quietly placed a coffin at the stern of the ship.

The Lu family didn't know about this.

After the boat left Guangdong, the boatman bullied the orphans and widowers of the Lu family. He wanted to increase the shipping fee, so he started arguing with the Lu family and even started fighting.

At this moment, I suddenly saw Lu walking out of the cabin, followed by a young man.

This man helped Lu and beat up the boatman and five or six other people.

The boatmen were all knocked down on the boat, begging angrily.

The Lu family were very surprised. They didn't know why a young man suddenly came to help them.

They asked the boatman: "We know my master, but where does this young man come from?"

The boatman was very frightened when he saw what had happened.

He said with shame: "There is also a small coffin in the cabin at the stern. Because we were afraid that the people in the house would not allow it, and we wanted to earn more shipping fares, we hid it quietly. The young man who helped you fight just now, I guess it’s the ghost in the coffin.”

From then on, the boatmen were very careful not to be disrespectful to the Lu family in the slightest.

After the ship arrived in Shaoxing, the family members transported Lu's coffin home, held a funeral ceremony and set up a memorial tablet for him.

From then on, Lu became quiet and never appeared again!
