The festive gongs and drums were beating, the cheerful Yangge was twisted, and Fourth Uncle Chang looked at the ready crowd, and couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.

Once upon a time, the little naughty man who only knew how to play crickets and fly kites every day became a famous young man who traveled to Fusang and learned from Dongying. It's only been a few years, and the young master has become the head of the officer corps guarding the town. Although the little young master is not his own child, he is closer than his own son, watching him grow up day by day and become a talent day by day, the tears in his eyes can't help but fall, this kind of heartfelt pride makes him excited and can't help himself.

Master Chang, who secretly dried the tears in the corners of his eyes, couldn't help but reprimand: "Isn't it just a little regiment leader?" What is there to be excited about! Go down and see how the medicine is going on the old man's side, Zhenbang, this kid is really ignorant, and when he becomes an officer, he has to say a word to his family, even if he can't remember me as an old man, he has to report good news to his grandfather! ”

Chang Sifei ran down, and personally brought the medicine for Mrs. Chang's boiling, and the normal state of silence in the past also seemed much more energetic today, lying on the bed, and said slightly: "Zhenbang's child is back?" ”

"It's back, the eldest young master is back! Now the eldest young master is a dignified regimental commander officer! Chang Si leaned into Mrs. Chang's ear and said excitedly.

Mrs. Chang smiled and said, "No, no, my Chang family's seed is not bad!" ”

Chang Si said: "That's natural, the young master holds the military power of a county at such a young age, even President Yuan didn't do it so majesticly back then!" ”

Mrs. Chang smiled, his children and grandchildren are all out of breath, what else can comfort the anxious and lonely old man's heart. At this time, there was a lively commotion outside, Chang Si's face looked a little unhappy, and he wanted to go out and scold, no matter what day it was, the old lady needed to be quiet. But Mrs. Chang said: "Forget it, everyone is happy today, so let them go!" ”

Today's Changjia compound is full of festive atmosphere, the red lanterns are blown up before dawn, the best red silk surrounds the Changjia compound three times, the whole yard is not bright when people are diligent to clean up, and the cooks are also playing around. This kind of atmosphere is even more lively than during the New Year, and now who within a radius of a hundred miles does not know that the young master Chang Da, who was ridiculed and white-eyed in the past, is now a majestic regiment commander officer. If the military power is sneezing, the entire Wenxian County will tremble.

"Chang Si, what time has it been to go out and see, why hasn't Zhenbang come back yet!" Master Chang looked at the sky in the courtyard outside and couldn't help but say.

Chang Si said: "The master has just passed the hour now, the young master must still be on the road at this time, or I will go out and have a look, and wait for the young master to enter the village and then come to report!" ”

"Go ahead, I've always been relieved of your errands!" Master Chang said fiercely: "This unfilial guy, I don't even bother to say anything!" After I come back, I will definitely teach this guy a good lesson, let him know what it means to call his parents, don't delay, don't be lazy. ”

Chang Si glanced at the bluffing Master Chang, don't look at what he is saying so majestic now, when he sees the eldest young master, his heart will soften, and he will become the father of his filial son. I really don't understand why parents are so funny, doing some useless work, thinking of this, he can't help but think of his son, Chang Dahai. When he finishes college, let him go to the account of the eldest young master, who also has a confidant, and his son is also an officer or something.

When he arrived outside the village, the gong and drum team of the local security organization actually swarmed up and blocked the entrance of the village, when the gong and drum sounded and remembered, Chang Si couldn't help but shed tears, and the tears were vertical and horizontal, and the two groups of high-headed horses rushed over like the wind, scared everyone, almost messed up the drum, smashed the suona, and stirred up Yangge.

Rushing in front of him, he immediately jumped a man, and everyone hugged him with an amiable smile, who knew that they were not greeted by Chang Zhenbang but Zhang Youneng, Zhang Youneng laughed and said: "Haha, Youneng is not good at riding, and almost scared all the villagers, I really apologize!" ”

"Youneng is also an officer, it's really amazing!" The low security accompanied him and said carefully, although this Zhang Youneng is not as good as Chang Zhenbang, he is also Chang Zhenbang's adjutant, and he is better than his own small land security.

As soon as the words fell, Chang Zhenbang rode his horse, he was not as swaggering as Zhang Youneng, he fell off the horse one or two feet away from the crowd, walked in front of everyone, Zhang Youneng pushed away everyone, greeted him, took the horse whip, led the two horses to follow Chang Zhenbang, the gongs and drums behind him vibrated again, and the Yangge of the aunts and uncles also twisted, and Zhang Youhua also rode a horse to follow. The two people and three horses followed behind Chang Zhenbang and accompanied Uncle Chang to slowly enter the Chang family compound.

Before they arrived at the compound, someone in the compound had already shouted: "The eldest young master is back." Then the middle door opened, and the householders, dressed in festive clothes, rushed out of the gate like water, and stood on either side with their heads held high. The sound of 10,000 firecrackers also sounded at this moment.

Fourth Master Chang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Young Master, please!" He greeted Chang Zhenbang. The Zhang brothers also trusted Chang Zhenbang's blessing and walked in from the main gate for the first time in their lives. However, the land protection and the villagers were not so far away, and the main gate of the Chang family compound was quietly closed after the Zhang brothers entered. Everyone had to look at the door and sigh. Fortunately, Chang Si had already ordered to go down, brought a lot of copper coins, and threw them towards the crowd, and the villagers rejoiced again and went over to grab the money.

Chang Zhenbang entered the compound, did not go to see the grandfather first, to see the father, but went straight to the small ancestral hall of the Chang family, the small ancestral hall is not big, the front is the portrait of the sages of the Chang family in the Ming and Qing dynasties and their wives, under the portrait is the spiritual position arranged according to the generation. Under the spiritual seat is a small offering table, in the middle of the offering table is a fake Xuande furnace, the Xuande furnace is lit with three long incense sticks, the two sides of the incense burner are full of fruit and vegetarian dishes, and there are two long candles on the left and right. In front of the offering table, there were three animals and six animals making such a big contribution, which really made Chang Zhenbang startled. He wondered if there were other descendants of the Chang family who had returned besides himself today.

Standing in the small ancestral hall are a lot of gray-haired old guys, their clothes are different, but their faces are a ball of harmony, surrounded by a sturdy old man in his forties and fifties in the middle, Chang Zhenbang of course knows this sturdy old man, this is the head of the village, also named Chang, is the son of the old patriarch of the Chang clan, if there is no accident, he is the next patriarch. However, due to the health of the old patriarch, in many cases, he is still in charge of the affairs of the clan.

In addition to worshiping the ancestors during the New Year, the Changjia ancestral hall is more for the grandchildren of each house to handle weddings, funerals, birthdays, joys and other red and white ceremonies. However, sometimes in order to discuss important affairs within the clan, it is often held in the ancestral hall. However, the biggest physical object in the clan is to try to deduct money from the hands of Master Chang, and to help the poor people in the name of it, it cannot be said that those poor people have not received a single son, God knows who the money has fallen into.

Of course, this is talking about the ancestral hall in the village, and although the ancestral hall in the Chang family compound has the same function, it is only aimed at the Chang Ye clan.

These clansmen came to the small ancestral hall to wait for Chang Zhenbang today, so that Chang Zhenbang always had the feeling of a night owl entering the house.

In the past, there was no shortage of Chang Patriarch, Chang in charge of the verbal battle, Chang Ye stood at the door of the small ancestral hall with pride and pride today, and after Chang Zhenbang entered, he pulled him to kneel on the futon in front of the offering table.

After kneeling and bowing three times and bowing to the ancestors, when Master Chang took him to respectfully offer incense to his ancestors, Chang Zhenbang stood up and greeted the surrounding clansmen in a friendly manner.

At the beginning, these people gave Chang Zhenbang a lot of eyes, after all, he was a crazy young master, and some people even helped Chang Guan persecute Chang Master for a hundred years, and handed over the entire Chang family compound to the clan to take care of, what happened in front of Chang Zhenbang's eyes has now become an unbelievable rumor in their mouths, looking at these clansmen who wagged their tails and begged for mercy, Chang Zhenbang couldn't say how happy he was.

Manager Chang's face was gloomy, his eyes burst out with hatred, looking at Chang Zhenbang's every move in the crowd, everyone hopes that the family will give birth to the pride of the sky, but if the pride of the sky breaks his wishful thinking, it will be very hateful, once upon a time, as long as he waited for Master Chang, after Mrs. Chang returned to heaven, he could take over everything in the Chang family compound in a bright and bright way, who knew that this damn madman turned into a local magistrate and took away the hand Chang family compound that was about to become his bag. How valuable the Chang family compound is, this hatred is heavy in his heart.

"Zhenbang is really capable! In a few months, he became the commander of the officer corps, and the elder brother didn't spend less money! Manager Chang looked at Master Chang with hatred and said without yin or yang.

Master Chang's face was full of red light, and he said proudly: "Zhenbang can have today, thanks to the blessing of the ancestors!" ”

Seeing that he didn't take care of his own stubble, Manager Chang couldn't help but be a little angry, even if he tried to restrain himself, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and said: "Since Zhenbang has become a regiment commander and officer from a madman, it is the merit of the ancestors, what I didn't say, this year, your family's annual payment will be doubled!" ”

Before Master Chang could speak, someone accosted him: "That's right, the ancestor sold your son so much, I'm afraid I can't say it if you don't pay more filial piety!" ”

"That's it! I think it's better to just make three copies, anyway, if you have money to buy officials, you should also have money to honor your ancestors! ”

There are really a lot of people in this gang, which shows who has gone to the mouth of the money in the past.

Zhang Youneng Zhang Youhua is not a member of the Chang family, naturally there is no reason to enter the ancestral hall, they can only stay at the door, looking at the difficulties that happened in the ancestral hall, they are really angry, others don't know Chang Zhenbang, can they not know? Although the position of this regiment commander and officer cannot be said to be all based on a knife and a gun, it is not something that can be summed up in four words of ancestor blessing, if this ancestor is really so effective, the Chang family will not have a character who has not been an official and a half-post for so long.

Anger is anger, rules are still rules, the Zhang brothers wrote their dissatisfaction on their faces, but they couldn't say it, after all, people have the same surname as Chang Zhenbang in the garbage, and no matter how close they are, they can't change the Zhang character to the Chang character.

Chang Zhenbang looked at these people coldly, turned around and walked towards the gate of the ancestral hall.

Master Chang hurriedly grabbed his arm and whispered, "Why are you going Zhenbang, you can't show cowardice at this time!" ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly, shook Lao Tzu's hand, and said, "Dad, I know the severity, I just have something to explain to Youhua!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and added Zhang Youhua who was standing at the door, whispered a few words to him, Zhang Youhua nodded again and again, turned around and left.

"What's going on, there's still a bit of a rule!" Manager Chang stared coldly at Chang Zhenbang's every move, and when he saw Chang Zhenbang turn around to leave, he couldn't help but sneer, and said in his heart, no matter how big or high your official position is, no matter how big or high your position is, this Chang family has the final say, you can't fight me! If you want to blame it, blame you for your surname Chang!

"Boss, I still understand the rules!" Chang Zhenbang smiled secretly and said, "In order to honor the ancestors, the little nephew specially arranged a little meaning, and asked the uncle to take a look!" ”
