Chapter 50: The Legend of Renjiazhuang
The reason why Renjiazhuang is so good and makes so many people of the Ren clan flock to it is, of course, not only because it is in the position of the authentic boss. 'Zhuangyuanzhuang' is another good name of Renjiazhuang in the local area, and it is also a real reason for people to yearn for it.
In the hundreds of years that the Ren clan has settled here, Renjiazhuang has produced two champions, three lists, and five flowers. Jinshi also came out of dozens of people. As for those things that raise people and show talents, they can't be said at all. Do you say that such a place with outstanding people can not make people compete to climb to the next level?
There is a local legend that the Ren family had an ancestor who was good at watching feng shui. Why would you travel hundreds of miles to settle here? It's because there were many places before this, although there were also good villages. But that old ancestor thought that it was not enough for the Ren clan to carry forward.
It was only when he arrived at the shore of Daqin Lake that the old ancestor said that this was a treasure of feng shui, and pointed to the isolated island behind the village, saying that it was where the context was. If you can settle here, your descendants will be like a shining star, and you will be like a bag and an ear.
It's also strange to say. The isolated island hangs behind the village, surrounded by water on three sides, steep and difficult to climb, and only on this side of the village, there is a path less than two meters wide. The island is full of trees and lush greenery, and many rare birds have settled on this isolated island, which is truly a refreshing treasure.
At that time, the old ancestor designated the island as the location of Zuying. And the best place in feng shui was demarcated and determined to be a sacred place in the clan. Those who have not made great contributions to the country and the family are not allowed to be buried here.
In normal times, the ancestor of the Ren family, especially that holy land, is not allowed to be approached by outsiders at all. Even the people on the Zhuangzi can only participate in the worship collectively under the organization of the Zhuangzhong clan elders when it is the time of sacrifice.
According to conventionally, people who are not very high-status can't even climb the isolated island, let alone the holy place in everyone's mind. But today it is a bit strange that not only did outsiders land on the island, but also worshiped in front of the largest cemetery in the center of the Holy Land, which had no tombstones.
The people who participated in the event were not only Ren Sihai and Principal Quan, but also the old spy Xiang Ziliang. Such a move, on weekdays, will definitely attract obstruction from the common people in the village.
It's not that there are no such examples in the past, no matter what kind of background you have, no one on the Zhuangzi will buy this account. Speaking from the outside world, it is that the people of Renjiazhuang are particularly popular.
Seeing the clan elders on Zhuangzi, that is, those old antique characters who have rarely come forward, all of them marched towards the isolated island, and the younger generation thought that they were going to intervene. They are gearing up and getting ready to do a big job.
They didn't expect that the appearance of these old people in the village not only did not interfere with the sacrificial activities, but instead gathered in front of the cemetery and participated in the sacrificial activities with the visitors.
Who would have such a big face? It is not a simple matter to let these ancestors of Renjiazhuang break the routine of opening the forbidden land. Not only are people outside the village discussing, but even people on the village are also making all kinds of speculations.
When Ren Xiaotian was hospitalized in the hospital, his grandfather Ren Sihai rushed home from the city with his family, saying that he was busy receiving guests from afar. If Ren Xiaotian saw who the guest was, he would definitely be surprised.
Because the guest who could make grandpa go home in a hurry was none other than Zhou Shaosong, the director of the police department, the elder who persuaded him to cheer up. The people who participated in the reception, in addition to Grandpa Quan, there was also Xiang Ziliang.
After Director Zhou arrived at Renjiazhuang, the first thing he did was not to swim in the lake or taste the lake, but to go directly to the island and pay homage to the ancestor of the Ren family in the company of the three old men. If this matter makes Ren Xiaotian know about it, it will be even more shocking.
I didn't expect that Zhou Shaosong, an outsider, would enjoy such treatment. Not only was he accompanied by the three elders, but all the elders of the Zhuangzi who were over 70 years old also participated in the worship together. The whole ceremony, although not grand, is also very solemn and solemn.
What is the relationship between Director Zhou and Ren Jiazhuang? Without a very special relationship, it is impossible to make those old antiques so courteous.
Also, the work of arresting 'Bai Mei' over there is at a critical juncture, how can he, a big leader, have time to visit the mountains and rivers, and go to an isolated island to worship a tomb without a tombstone?
Of course, there will also be curious young people in the village who ask this and that. It's a pity that no one will explain all this. When the question is urgent, some of the quick-tempered old people will raise the crutches in their hands.
After the worship service, of course, there will inevitably be a social event. Under the organization of the old branch secretary, the clan elders on Zhuangzi received Director Zhou with the highest standard. It wasn't until late that Ren Sihai and the other three old men accompanied Director Zhou back to his own home.
As soon as he entered the house, the old spy Xiang Ziliang continued the topic of the banquet and fired at Ren Xiaotian's grandfather: "Sihai, your arrangement for Xiaotian is wrong. To say 'just to live' is pure. Not only is it wrong, but it is a big mistake. What a good child, what has you become of being ruined! ”
"Wrong? What could I be wrong with! As long as the bloodline of the Ren family can be preserved, it is not wrong to do anything. Tell you, I plan to let Xiaotian get married as soon as possible. As long as there is a next generation, no matter what risk there is, it is easy to resist for a while. Ren Sihai was also a little angry.
Hearing that someone was angry at him, he also became angry. The head that had just been drunk red was even hotter.
"Confused, can Xiaotian's marriage be sloppy? Tell me, where is the person you helped Xiao Tian find? Let's also help to consult well and see if it is worthy of our family. Hearing that Ren Sihai wanted to help Ren Xiaotian find his wife, Principal Quan, who spoke very little, couldn't help but open his mouth.
Ren Sihai introduced with a smile: "Yes, definitely match." Haven't you seen that kid? Can the girl who wants to be with Xiaotian be with Xiaotian when Xiaotian's life and death are unknown, will she be wrong? ”
He spoke with a lot of air because he felt that this was something for all to see, and that no one should raise any objections.
"Uncle Ren, since you're talking about the girl we've all seen, then I want to ask you, do you know whose child it is?" Zhou Shaosong, who was just sitting on the side and listening to a few old people arguing, also opened his mouth with a smile at this time.
"I don't know what to do." Ren Sihai was also single, and directly replied that he didn't know what to do. However, he also had his own reasons, and patiently explained: "That kid has a good character, and he can know the Tao at a glance." Besides, it can be seen from the words and deeds of other people's children that they are a well-bred child. ”
"Have you forgotten that Xiaotian didn't get admitted to college, what is it for?" Quan Zhongxian, who was smoking a cigarette, raised his head and looked at Ren Sihai, as if he was looking at an idiot.
Ren Sihai waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "Isn't it just for a girl?" What's the big deal. Could it be that our family will not find a wife! You see, such a good girl took the initiative to run to our door. Hmph, I can't look down on Xiaotian's woman, I can't look down on her. ”
His grandson is so good, he will be dumped by a woman. When he mentioned this incident, Ren Sihai felt that he had no face, and there were signs of going violent.
"Do you know who that girl is? Do you know that the girl you helped Xiaotian fancy, whose child is it? You don't know anything but drink. Principal Quan stood up at once.
Principal Quan, who is rarely angry in normal times, today I don't know what the reason is, and the anger is also very strong. The cigarette butt in his hand was about to poke Ren Sihai's face.
"What's wrong, what's going on today? An old traitor, an old spy, all of them are so hot. Is it drunk and drunk, or what's wrong? Ren Sihai also realized that something was wrong. These old brothers are particularly angry tonight, and they all seem to be having trouble with themselves.
Hearing him say this, Principal Quan's face turned pale, and he said a little miserably: "Ahem, ahem, I'm a traitor, I'm a traitor." I don't speak, that's all right. Shao Song, Lao Xiang, I will also make it clear. Over the years, you have not been here, and you have no idea what I am suffering. ”
Zhou Shaosong saw that Principal Quan's face was flushed with cough, so he hurriedly stepped forward and patted him lightly on the back a few times, and then persuaded him: "Uncle Quan, don't worry, if you have something to say, speak slowly." ”
After relieving himself, Principal Quan said, "Over the years, I can't discuss Xiaotian's affairs with him at all. As long as there is a little bit that does not suit him, he is an old traitor. You say, what else can I say? ”
"Just this 'just be alive', and I told him not to say that. He just replied to me, saying what can you know as an old traitor. When Principal Quan said this, the cigarette in his hand had already been thrown to the ground, and tears flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle Ren, how can you say that about Uncle Quan! Didn't that matter be made clear at that time? There are historical reasons for all this, why do you always hold on to it! Director Zhou's tone was a little displeased.
If Ren Sihai was not an elder, it was likely that he would be reprimanded by Director Zhou. Despite this, Zhou Shaosong's face was also very ugly.
Xiang Ziliang didn't speak, just circled around Ren Sihai a few times. Then he ran to the back of the school president and gently patted the school president on the shoulder to comfort him.
Ren Sihai also heard Director Zhou's tone and the reactions of the people in the audience. Hurriedly took the initiative to admit his mistake and said: "Good, good, good, I said it wrong." Say whatever you want, just say it. Take Shao Song here and let him help evaluate the judges. If you are right, I will listen to you from now on. ”
