Chapter 169 The Secret of Centenarians



Using a gun is not surprising, but it is really not easy to shoot such a big rabbit with a slingshot.

"Let's take a rabbit to Uncle Seven's house, as a side dish.

Bring a pig's head skin over as a New Year's greeting.

There is one left, I will take it to Fourth Aunt’s house tomorrow.”

The three siblings washed up and went to Xie Juncai's house.

Xie Juncai was already waiting at the doorstep.

When I saw Xie Wan and the others mentioned rabbits and pig scalps, I couldn't stop laughing.

It just so happens that Xie Juncai's family and Xie Changshou's family live across from each other.

Xie Changshou's family could see clearly what was happening at the door of Xie Juncai's house through the courtyard gate.

Xie Changshou’s wife couldn’t help but pinch him, “Look at you, you fool. If you hadn’t made an enemy of Lao Liu, the scalp and rabbit would definitely have been given to our family.”

Rabbits could still be caught in the mountains, but a whole smoked pig skin was a very precious New Year's item in those days.

Xie Changshou pushed his wife away and spat, "I don't like his stuff!"

Although he said he didn't care, Xie Changshou had actually regretted it in his heart a long time ago.

Lao Liu is really rich. He even dares to donate a yard. What does a pig's skin mean to him?

If he had not helped the third brother to cheat him, with the sixth brother's temper, if he had let some of the leftovers slip through his fingers to his eldest brother, it would probably have been quite a lot, right?

Xie Wan and his sister followed Xie Juncai into the main room and saw a table full of dishes, as well as the smiling faces of Xie Juncai's family and their various inquiries about their well-being.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

After everyone else had left the table, Xie Wan asked about the family tree.

Xie Juncai sent everyone away and asked his youngest son to take Xie Xing out to play. Then he said to Xie Wan and his sister:

“Changgen wants to see the family tree, and I understand his desire to remember his roots.

Apparently, the family tree was burned.

But in fact, it was secretly hidden by my father.

Now, here I am..."

Xie Juncai went into his room and after a while, took out a thick thread-bound book.

As soon as you see the yellowed corners, you can tell that this book is quite old.

Xie Wan opened the family tree and found that the first page started recording from the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

In the Bingwu year, which was the 51st year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1786 AD), Xie Qizuo, the ancestor of this branch of the Xie family, passed the local examination at the age of 90.

Three years later, Xie Qizuo took part in the imperial examination and was awarded the title of Siye.

In the fifty-fifth year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1790 AD), Xie Qizuo participated in the celebration of Emperor Qianlong's 80th birthday to congratulate him on his old age. Emperor Qianlong personally gave him an imperial poem, allowed him to return to his hometown to retire, and granted him 100 acres of fertile land in Yunxiao County.

Xie Qizuo then returned home and settled in Yunxiao County with his family.

Xie Qizuo died at the age of 120, making him the first centenarian of the Qing Dynasty.

After Xie Wan finished reading the life story of this ancestor, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This guy is a fucking cheating ancestor!

Who would take the provincial examination at the age of 90? He was admitted to high school.

Who among the normal people can live to be 120 years old?

This person must be the one who has been drinking the spiritual spring water in the space and is becoming more and more energetic!

It is possible that this ancestor discovered the secret of the jade ring when he was about 90 years old, which is why he was able to achieve such great success late in life.

It seems that her idea of ​​looking for clues about jade jewelry in the family tree was correct.
