Chapter 61 The altar table was tampered with

The best place to enshrine Baojiaxian's tablet is to face east, so I came to the west wing of the old house.

As soon as we entered, we saw smoke.

Taking a closer look, there was a wooden board standing on the table.

Out of curiosity, I picked up the board.

Taking a closer look, there was actually a bill mounted on the back of the wooden board.

Although the color has faded a bit, it is still clean.

And looking at the incense burner full of soot and residual incense, it is obvious that the incense has never stopped burning.

No wonder Ning Yi was abandoned for adoption. It turned out that another Baojiaxian was enshrined in the family!
Thinking of this, I looked at Ning Yi with a guilty conscience.

Seeing his frown, I immediately panicked.

I walked over quickly to pull out the burning incense, but my grandmother ran in on tiptoe and grabbed me.

"I can't! I can't!"

"Grandma, this..."

"You are too young to understand this!" Grandma said quickly, "This is the Baojiaxian enshrined by our Shen family for generations!"

Grandma's words made me glance at Ning Zhen subconsciously.

"Grandma, how many Baojiaxian have our Shen family worshiped?"

"Of course there is only one!" Grandma said, and she quickly bowed to Tang Dan. "This bill was signed hundreds of years ago. I framed it with yellow pine wood because I was afraid it would get damaged. Our Shen family's blessings are all brought by our fairy!"

Having said this, my great-grandmother hurriedly handed me three sticks of incense.

"I didn't tell you before because you were young. When you grew up, you took the exam and became a scholar. I was afraid that you would say these things were superstitious, so I didn't mention them again. Now that you have seen it, you can tell me My fairy, please put some incense sticks on me!"

"Grandma, where is the lighter?"

"In the desk drawer!"

Grandma squinted her eyes and raised her hand to point at the altar.

I walked to the altar table with mixed emotions, but when I opened the drawer on the left, I didn't find a lighter.

So I stretched my hand to the right, but probably because of its age, the drawer was so dry that it couldn't be opened no matter how hard I pulled it.

Also!

This altar table is an old thing that I had when I was a child!

I simply put down the incense, stepped on the table leg with my feet, leaned back and tugged hard.

There was a "swish" sound, and the entire drawer came out instantly.

And when I staggered backwards holding the drawer and was about to fall, a big hand quietly supported my back.

When he turned around, he saw that it was Ning Yi.

"Thank you Xianjia!"

After whispering this to Ning Yi, I quickly stood up.

This is the first time Ning Yi has helped others!
I wanted to stuff the drawer back, but when I glanced inside, I saw a ball of yellow cloth.

strange!
Why is there a hidden compartment at the bottom of this drawer?

I put my hand in and fumbled for a moment, then took out the contents.

The moment the yellow cloth was lifted, a Buddha statue suddenly appeared.

Ning Yi, who was standing next to me, instantly retreated.

Why is this Buddha statue hidden under the Baojiaxian altar table?
I put it in a dark place on purpose, obviously because I didn’t want anyone to discover it, right?

"Grandma!"

Following my urgent cry, my great-grandmother hurriedly ran in with her waist bent.

"Little An'an, what's wrong?"

"Grandma, look!"

When I lifted the Buddha statue, my grandmother's pupils shrank sharply.

"oops!"

With a fierce slap on the thigh, the grandmother snatched the Buddha statue and ran out in a hurry.

After watching her run out of the hospital, she came back soon, her hands empty.

After returning, the great-grandmother hurriedly took out matches from the corner and lit three incense sticks.

"Jia Xian'er, this child is young and ignorant. You, sir, don't remember the faults of others! Don't blame me! Don't blame me!"

"Grandma..."

"Shut up! Kneel down and kowtow!"

My great-grandmother has always doted on me, even to the point of doting on me. She has never spoken harsh words to me since I was a child.If you are so nervous now, the matter must be extremely serious.

Without thinking much, I hurriedly knelt down.

After I kowtowed three times, my great-grandmother handed me three sticks of incense.

When I inserted it into the incense burner, she hit me hard.

"There is something special about worshiping Jia Xian'er! Jia Xian'er likes meat and fish, and Buddha eats vegetarian food. If they are put together, they will conflict with each other, which is a taboo!"

Grandma’s words made my mind spin rapidly.

Then, I exclaimed in surprise.

"I know!" I looked at Ning Zhen as if murmuring to myself, "Grandma Ye once said that the memorial tablet of Baojiaxian needs to be seated from the west to the east, but the table just now was placed the other way around! Also! The Buddha statue in the secret room! Someone hid the Buddha statue here just to make it conflict with the Xian family! If the Xian family cannot get worship, they think we have broken the contract!"

Speaking of this, I became more and more excited.

"Although our Shen family still lights incense every day as devoutly as before, the Immortal family is Yin Immortal and cannot get three sticks of incense as offerings!"

After saying it in one breath, I exhaled heavily.

As for Ning Yi, his expression was even more complicated.

Does he not believe it?

But the truth should be what I guessed!
"Grandma!" I bent down and grabbed Grandma's shoulders. "Has anyone touched the room dedicated to Baojiaxian?"

"Yes!" Grandma nodded hurriedly, "I remember you had a serious illness when you were just born, and then they said it might be because a leg of the altar table was broken. So, we asked a carpenter to repair the table."

"Do you remember who it is?"

"It's been so long that my memory is bad! However, the carpenter didn't let us watch while he was repairing it, because he was afraid that we would steal his craftsmanship. Then he took the money and left!"

There is clearly something wrong with that carpenter!

"Grandma, your memory is really bad!" I quickly held my arm and whispered softly, "You lit the wrong incense. You should have lit four incense sticks!"

"Is it...four?" Grandma scratched her head blankly.

"Yeah!" I smiled, "Grandma, don't forget it next time!"

"Then I'll light it up again, so I can't make Jia Xian'er angry!"

"Grandma, let me light some incense! From now on, I will also help you worship the fairy!"

"Okay! Okay, okay!" Grandma held my hand happily, "Our little An'an has grown up and is sensible! I'll cook for you, you just wait."

After my great-grandmother left happily, I hurriedly walked to Ning Zhen.

"Xianjia, our Shen family did not break the contract! Someone must be jealous that our Shen family is protected by the Xianjia, so they did so many tricks in secret. The misunderstanding has been solved, are you not so angry?"

Ning Yi frowned but said nothing.

"Xianjia, don't be angry!" I tilted my head and looked at Ning Zhen with a smile, "My great-grandmother and I will serve you well from now on, and I will definitely work very hard to help the Xianjia achieve success!"

"you……"

"Little An'an!"

Ning Zhen seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by the excited voice of his great-grandmother.

I hurriedly placed Ning Zhen's tablet next to the hall table, and then ran out.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my grandma wearing a red cheongsam and she was at a loss.

"Xiao Anan, I found this on the bed!"

"I bought it for you!" I walked over with a smile and combed my grandma's silver hair with my hands. "Didn't you always praise the cheongsam as beautiful when you were watching TV last time?"

"But I'm over 90. If I wear this, will people say I have bags under my eyes?" Grandma was a little embarrassed, "Isn't this color too delicate?"

"But I remember that you like red the most!" I put my great-aunt's silver hair into a small bun and took out a lipstick. "If you put this on again, it will look great!"

"No! No need! This is a thing for young people!"

The grandma said this, but she took the initiative to pout.

After applying it, she carefully sipped it.

"Does it look good?"

"So lovely!"

"Really?" Grandma turned to Ning Yi.

"It's so beautiful!" Ning Zhen nodded lightly.

After receiving the recognition, my great-grandmother was as excited as a child.

"The food is ready, go and eat quickly!"

Having said this, my great-grandmother took me with one hand and Ning Zhen with the other, and happily walked towards the main room.
