The people of the grandfather's generation have not yet arrived, and everyone can only wait, so a group of people are in this open-air environment while getting together in twos and threes and talking nonsense, while waiting for the grandfather who is presiding over the big festival to come.

Bian Rui is wearing a lot of clothes here, so naturally he doesn't feel cold, but some little guys start to shake after standing here for a long time, such as the one next to Bian Rui.

"I said that you kid can't wear more, this is to pick up a flag and not to see the girl, you kid is wearing so little to let the ancestors see if your firepower is good?" Bian 18 said with a smile and joked to his nephew.

"Uncle Eighteen, I thought that the grandfathers would come soon, who would have thought that this year would be so slow, if it was as usual, everyone would have entered the hall now, how could it be so cold outside. But this winter is really strange, I haven't felt like this for many years, and it was several degrees below zero a year ago."

"Isn't it good to be cold? it used to be all warm, and the winter should be cold," Bian Seventeen said.

"Didn't the newspaper say that we were about to enter another Xiaoice period?" Bian Rui said casually.

This news is also seen by Bian Rui on the Internet, and I don't know if it's true or not, now it's just a fun thing to say, everyone will listen to it and it's over, like such a big event Whether it's true or not, Bian Rui can't resist, so Bian Rui is just talking about it.

Bian 18 said: "Who is right, didn't it say that human life brought about global warming before, some scientists disagree, who is responsible for the earth's own reasons and human activities are not too related, but in terms of the temperature in recent years, it seems to confirm these people's views...... But who can say this thing accurately, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, just in time for the Xiaoice River, we may not be able to enter the Xiaoice River period like then."

Bian Rui said: "It's better to be colder."

Bian 18 said: "It's good to be cold, but it can't be too cold, you look at today's temperature, maybe there will be a heavy snow soon, if the snow falls, we will have fun!"

"What's the matter, it's not like I haven't picked up the flag like this before, when the time comes, when the gloves are put on, I will walk against the snow, anyway, it is the people who work hard to carry the big flag in front," Bian Seventeen said.

The little nephew asked beside him at this time: "Three uncles, who will pick this banner this year?"

The big flag that the kid said refers to the horizontal flag, which is carried by a T-shaped pole, and the flag is rectangular, a bit like the previous big flag, this thing is twice as heavy as the Zongqi, and this thing can't be picked up, nor can it be carried on the shoulder, this thing can only be held or held in the arms, and it really can't move this thing without a little strength.

In the past, this banner was carried by the eighteenth uncle, but today this kid found that the eighteenth master did not come, so he opened his mouth and asked Bian Rui an uncle.

Bian Seventeen said: "It must still be the eighteenth uncle, who is the one who doesn't hold the banner?

Bian Eighteen thought for a moment, and said to Bian Seventeen: "Why not? Isn't there one in front of you, the youngest is the longest! Isn't Nineteen here?"

Bian Rui was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and pointed to his nose and said, "I? I can't, I'm here to pick up the sect flag today, not to raise the banner."

Bian Rui's grandfather is the youngest of the five brothers, according to the habits of the previous clan, the youngest grandson always comes slowly, and two or three times the past can be separated by a generation, so the youngest in the clan refers to this reason.

Such a child is generally called Changlang in the clan, not to refer to the age, but to be favored, there is also an old saying here that Changlang is not a weapon, that is, Changlang is generally not very successful, because he was favored by the elders when he was a child, and when he is older, the elders are almost the same, and the younger generation has no way to take over the clan affairs with this clan uncle.

Therefore, it is reasonable to say that Changlang is not successful, and Changlang is more gentle.

Judging from Bian Rui's longevity trajectory, the teenage Bian Rui is indeed right about the sentence that Changlang is not successful.

Of course, now this truth is broken, behind Bian Rui, there are still a few grandmother dolls, not as big as Bian Rui's daughter, but they are Bian Rui's cousins, if you want to blame this thing, you have to blame for letting go of the second child, and if you don't pay attention to a group of uncles and uncles, you will get a surprise for Bian Rui, who was originally the youngest, and a few cousins suddenly appeared after his thirties.

Without these little hairy heads, Bian Rui is naturally compliant, but now, Bian Rui is not suitable.

If this is put aside, everyone rushes to do this kind of work, because what can hold the banner is a kind of unsurpassed glory, first, you have to be in the body of the clan, and second, you have to achieve something, if you don't get someone to come back, you are not qualified for the work of the banner.

But now, Bian Rui really doesn't want to carry this thing, and he doesn't think that he wants to carry the banner today, if he does it, then the flag must be picked by Bian Rui's father.

Bian Eighteen thought for a while, and it was right, now Bian Rui is indeed not too qualified to be the flag.

The brother was chatting here, and suddenly felt that the field was quiet, and he turned his head and found that the five grandfathers walked in the shape of geese, and the grandfather walked in the head, wearing a big sacrificial dress, the sacrificial dress is the style of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a loss to wear it at this time.

There are several remaining grandfathers on both sides behind him, such as Bian Rui's grandfather is on the right, because he is the youngest of the five brothers, and it is normal for him to stand in the lowest position on the right hand.

Behind the five old men, Bian Rui saw his father's figure, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and said in his heart: It's not good!

According to normal thinking, Bian Rui's father didn't need to come at this time, because Bian Rui was here, and he only needed to wait for the big festival before the sun set in the afternoon.

Bian Rui saw his father, but didn't see Uncle Eighteen, so he guessed that today's work might really fall on his head.

"Grandpa!"

Now the eighteenth in the middle of the field is the highest and the oldest, so he led everyone to bow to the five grandfathers. From the old man's entry into the main courtyard, everyone no longer exchanged heads and ears, but put on a look of watching the nose and nose, waiting for the old man to preside.

When the grandfather stood at the door, two juniors opened the door of the ancestral hall, and then entered according to the seniority. Next is the grandfather reading the sacrificial article, the whole is Chinese, if you don't have a Chinese major education can't understand, four words and one sentence, one sentence can lead to a paragraph, this thing is either from the hands of the second uncle, or from the hands of the sixth uncle, except for the two of them, the ancient literary achievements of others can not write such an article.

Bian Rui was dizzy when he heard it, but he couldn't show it, so he still had to listen respectfully, because this article was not read to others, but to the ancestors of the Bian family.

Fear the destiny of heaven and respect the ancestors. This is a concept that Chinese should have, because this concept has maintained our group of people from ancient times to the present.

Now many Chinese don't care about these things anymore, thinking that these are dross, not things that conform to modern cognition.

But if you change the angle, don't say anything else but say that at the end of the late Qing Dynasty, the country became like that, after Gengzi paid the indemnity, a group of young students were sent out, except for those who did not complete their studies, they did not succeed, as long as no one stayed in the United States, all returned to the Qing Dynasty.

If you look at the current international students, if nothing else, just how many Qingbei went out and how many came back? Don't you feel sad that they are all proud to be Americans?

Chinese who were previously educated by Confucianism were considered by the world to be inassimilate, and until the founding of New China, there were also Chinese in Europe and the United States who transported their bodies back to China for burial after death.

Look at the present, not to mention that some people abroad are eager to become white, and even on domestic variety shows, there are yellow skins everywhere, but calling Richard, Jason and the like, it doesn't matter if you go abroad to name a foreign name, but in China, this style is really disgusting.

After listening to the sacrificial text for more than three minutes, the grandfather took everyone to salute, and after kneeling three times and knocking nine times, it was the link to travel with the souls of the ancestors.

"Bian Rui!"

"Huh!?"

Bian Rui heard the grandfather call him to raise his head and meet the grandfather's gaze, and after a while, he bent down slightly, saluted and did not get up, as a listening gesture.

"Today's banner is up to you, your eighteenth uncle is sick!"

"Yes!"

Bian Rui straightened up, walked out of the crowd, and stood still where the big flag was planted in his left hand.

The next thing is to attract the soul, which is not done by ordinary people, and it is not something that can be done by talking about it three or two times, it needs to dance a kind of witch dance.

When the wizard danced, except for the eldest generation, there was also the flag man, and no one else could be present, so except for a few grandfathers in this hall, as well as Bian Rui, the flag man, everyone else retreated to the courtyard.

Bian Rui's side has to raise the flag during the whole process, the pole cannot land, but it can be held with legs, in short, the flag pole cannot land anywhere.

Bian Rui couldn't stare at the wizard and dance to summon spirits, Bian Rui, like several grandfathers, had to face away from the witch in the direction of the door.

For about ten minutes, Bian Rui held back his curiosity, because there was a sound behind him that seemed to be wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and with Bian Rui's ear, he couldn't tell which person this witch was, originally Bian Rui thought that the witch must be from the village, who knew that listening to this person's words, Bian Rui and anyone in the village couldn't match.

Bian Rui always thought that the person presiding over this kind of ceremony must be someone from the village, but judging from today, Bian Rui was a little skeptical.

"Up!"

With Wu's soft call, Bian Rui felt that someone had stabbed him.

When I looked sideways, I found that my grandfather was poking his waist, and then I remembered that I was from Qingqi.

Understanding his work, Bian Rui stretched out his hand and pulled down the belt that bound the flag, revealing the entire flag, on the left side of the flag is a flying fish, on the right is a crane, in the middle is a bird pattern, and on both sides are five layers of black and white tassels.

Of course, this thing is not called a tassel, this thing is called a festival. There is no thread on the tassel, but the tail hair of the cow, one layer of white and one layer of black, a total of five knots. This represents that the ancestors of the Bian clan were vassals of the Son of Shang and were sealed in the border land, and the descendants took Bian as their surname.

Bian Rui doesn't know if this thing is true or not, anyway, everyone says so, and after a long time, everyone naturally thinks it is true, but from Bian Rui's point of view, people like Lao Zu who have lived for such a long time, maybe a few generations will catch up with Shang Tianzi, maybe it is only eighteen generations, and the ancestors of the Bian family have also eaten wine with King Xu.

The soul of the ancestors came out, and Bian Rui naturally had to lead the ancestors out to play, and when they went out of the courtyard, they stood outside the door, and immediately entered the hall and carried the flags and sacrificial flags of each family.

As soon as the wind blew like this, all the flags were hunting, and the team of more than twenty people actually had a little momentum.
