Come here is the ancestral hall of Bai Miao, and the spirits of the ancestors of Miao Township are enshrined, and when they come in, they feel that the atmosphere is strange and not the slightest bit angry. Seeing Sister An kneeling on the futon and kowtowing respectfully, Lin Wanrong stood by her side honestly, with an extremely stern expression.

An Biru muttered a few words to herself, bowed down reverently, and only got up after a long time, looked at him and said softly: "This is the important land of Miao Township, which enshrines our ancestors for generations, as well as my father and mother, you can also come to see it!" ”

"Oh," Lin Wanrongfu was heartfelt, knelt down on the futon, kowtowed with one head, and said shyly: "Daddy and Mommy, I'll kowtow to you-"

Sister An hurriedly lifted her little foot and kicked it lightly on his **, but her face showed a rare little bit of her little daughter's shyness, and her eyebrows flushed and said: "In front of my father and mother, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Sooner or later!" He muttered in a low voice full of grievances, folded his hands, and changed his title: "Uncle and aunt, my name is Lin Wanrong, nicknamed Lin San, I am the little brother of the master's sister, and in the future, I will become her little brother!" Sister Ann and I know each other and fall in love, love each other, in the sky is willing to be a winged bird, in the earth is willing to be a branch, please you in the spirit of the sky, bless us for a hundred years, early birth of a noble son, I kowtow to your second elder! ”

The previous sentence was a bit of a look, but the back relapsed, An Biru covered her lips helplessly and chuckled, her face was hot.

After kowtowing respectfully a few times, Lin Wanrong stood up triumphantly and winked at Sister An as if demonstrating.

An Biru couldn't help laughing, and glanced at him half ashamedly and half annoyed. The slender jade hand slowly stretched out, groped under the shrine a few times, and then heard a soft noise. The wall next to the shrine parted in the middle, revealing a stone door.

"Hey, there's a mechanism?!" He was shocked, and hurriedly jumped to Sister An's side, grabbing her hand. Wide-eyed and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, I'll protect you!" ”

An Biru laughed and twisted his palm hard. Hummed: "It's really hard to say who protects whom!" ”

She walked slowly. Lightly crossed the threshold. Lin Wanrong followed behind her inch by inch.

The entrance is a grotto, dug deep into the rock wall, under the cover of a stilted building. It is extremely hidden, with a faint yellow light in front of it, and you can still hear the sound of people talking.

Sister An looked back at him charmingly, and said with a grin: "Remember, be careful what you say!" ”

Be careful? Be careful of what? Lin Wanrong was stunned. But seeing Sister An's smile like a flower. I have gone in first.

"See Holy Aunt!" A neat and respectful voice suddenly erupted in the stone room, and Lin Wanrong stretched out his head to enter, but saw that seven or eight old men of the Miao family had gathered in the house, and they were bending down to salute An Biru. The oldest is the white-bearded Hannon, who brought him here, standing at the front. The one who accompanied the last seat and looked at the youngest one was Daddy Yilian and Buyi, the owner of the Red Miao Village in Yingyuewu.

Buyi is covered in dust. The cloth shoes have been opened, and the gray stains on the face have not yet had time to be wiped off. It seems that he came in a hurry after a long journey. He stood at the very end. He looked excited. But he was a little cramped, his hands were clenched tightly, and he didn't know where to put it.

"Uncles, you don't have to be polite!" Anbi smiled generously. His eyes swept over everyone, fell on Buyi, and immediately nodded: "Is this Uncle Buyi from Yingyuewu?!" I've heard your name for a long time! ”

Daddy's beard trembled with excitement, and he held the firewood knife and bowed: "Buyi see the Holy Aunt!" ”

An Biru smiled and shook her head: "Uncle doesn't have to be formal, you are the leader of Yingyue Dock, shrewd and capable." Respected and well-known in Miao Township, Elder Hannong recommended you to join the Presbyterian Church, which is well deserved! I've been traveling overnight these days, and I've worked hard, uncle! ”

It turned out that the old men in this house were all elders of Miao Township, and all important matters of the Miao family had to be decided by them, no wonder Sister An said that the ancestral hall was the most important place for the Miao family. And Daddy Buyi should have only been notified to join the club a few days ago, so he rushed to Wulian Peak.

The tiger skin chair in the middle was a position for the leader, and An Biru sat down slowly, and the elders sat down on both sides.

The room turned from noise to silence, and everyone sat down, only to find that there was still a person standing in the middle, and immediately all eyes were focused on him.

"Hello, hello, uncles!" Being looked at by so many old men, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't bear it, Lin Wanrong hurriedly hugged her fists and greeted her on all sides.

Among the elders, Uncle Hannon and Daddy Buyi know him, and they don't have a very good impression of him. The rest of the people were staring at each other with big eyes, and after watching for a long time, an elder suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember, you are the red seedling Mido who won the Zaguo field just now!" ”

When everyone said this, everyone suddenly remembered, and their eyes stared at him with a little more enthusiasm.

"Ashamed, ashamed," Lin Wanrong hurriedly clenched her fists and lowered her head embarrassedly: "Uncle, you look so kind, gentle and kind, like an old birthday star, the kid doesn't dare to deceive you!" Actually, I'm not Hongmiao Miduo, my name is Lin San, I'm from Beijing, and I'm a Chinese family! ”

"The Hua family?" The elders were stunned when they heard this, and immediately said angrily: "Since you are a member of the Hua family, what are you doing here at this Huashan Festival?" You're still ghostly, put on the clothes of the red sprouts, what are your plans? ”

The elders obviously didn't have much affection for the Hua family, and they were already angry as they spoke, Lin Wanrong hurriedly peeked at An Biru, but saw Sister An looking at him with a smile, silent, like an outsider.

Lin Wanrong's eyes blinked, and she suddenly realized: This Miao Patriarchal Association is clearly Sister An's mother's family, she brought me in, it is the hairy-footed son-in-law who came to the door, and it depends on the mother's family whether it will be completed or not! Just looking at the attitude of these elders towards the Hua family, I'm afraid things are not so easy to handle!

His mind was racing, and he smiled and waved his hand: "Uncle Misunderstood, I put on Miao clothes because I like to make friends with my brothers and sisters of the Miao family." ”

"Do you like to make friends with us? Phew, the devil believes! An elder said indignantly: "The Hua family is all insidious and cunning, and they say one thing. Thinking of a set in my heart, our Baili Miao Township,

Heaven at this point. The villagers could not eat or wear clothes. It's all thanks to your family! ”

"Yes. The Hua family doesn't have a good thing! Several elders shouted at the same time, and there was an uproar in the stone room.

Xuzhou is the confluence of three rivers. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are outstanding. If the governance is good, it should be a rich treasure land in Sichuan and Shu. It's a pity that Yuanqing has been entrenched here for many years. Voluptuous. Extort excessive taxes and levies. As a result, grievances boiled and the people did not have a good livelihood. Only then will there be a deep gap between today's Hua and Miao. What a rat poop. Broke a pot of soup.

Lin Wanrong shook her head silently. sighed: "Uncles. I understand your feelings. In fact. I admit it too. There are indeed so many moths in Huajiadi. They are lawless, tyrannical, bullying men and women, and harming one party. It has caused a lot of damage to everyone. For such bad guys. Whoever has a conscience. will be extremely hateful, Miao family folks. The same is true for the people of Huajiadi. ”

Grand Elder Hannon snorted and said, "Since you yourself admit that there are bad people in the Hua family. What else do you want to say?! ”

"It's true that the Hua family has bad people, but. One person is bad. Could it be that the entire Hua nation is a bad person?! He sighed with emotion: "Please think about it from the Great Elder and all the uncles. This Xuzhou was originally the two families of Hua and Miao living together. On weekdays, I work with you to catch up with the market. There are also many ordinary Chinese people. Are they all heinous and bad people? Push forward another 100 years, 1,000 years. Is it true that our Hua Miao family has always been so estranged? Have you never helped each other and lived in harmony?! At that time, the ancestors of the two families were like brothers. Why is it today? Are we still not as good as our ancestors? ”

He asked one after another. Han and the elders were all lost in thought. Anbi looked at him like a vein. There was a sparkle in his eyes.

"Not bad. There are indeed good people in the Hua family! One of the elders snorted, "But." That bullied us. It's also your Chinese family! What does this say? ”

"yes, what do you mean by that?" Several elders echoed in unison.

Lin Wanrong shook his head slightly: "I know what everyone thinks, Yin Nie Yuanqing of Xuzhou Mansion." It's really not a good thing, he's greedy for ink and fraud, and he's in the country. It is a shame for us to be in Huajiadi. But Miao Township is the leader of the land, Zha Guo. Some of these acts are equally shameful! But is it because of these two people? Are we going to deny the kindness of the entire Chinese or the entire Miao ordinary people? One person's fault. How can you harm the folks?! ”

He directly named Nie Yuanqing and Zha Guodi. The boldness is astonishing. The elders looked at each other as they listened. I can't figure out this pretending to be a red miao. What the hell is going on!

"As you wish. The Hua family is a good person. Good people are not wrong! Daddy Bouy looked at him. said coldly: "But our old folks in Miao Village. was forced by those moths of the Hua family and had no way out. What to do? ”

Bouilli looked at his face. Unspeakably irritated.

This is Elaine's father, and the clothes on his own body, which he crossed when he got married, were borrowed by Elaine's girl who begged her mother all night. Lin Wanrong felt guilty. How dare he look at him, and hurriedly retracted his head: "Please rest assured, Daddy Buyi, all the dog thieves who harm the people of Huamiao." Someone must clean it up! It won't be for long. Maybe it's right around the corner! ”

Uncle Hannong shook his head and sneered, "What if you clean it up?" Walked one. You can have another one. You can guarantee it. The next Lord of the Prefecture will definitely be fair and honest?! What about the next office? And further down?! ”

The Great Elder is really highly respected. The insight is extraordinary, and this phrase is right on point. The elders nodded in unison.

Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Uncle Hannong is amazing, this question is a good question!" You're right. If you only pin your hopes on one parent official, they will be honest and honest, and they may be able to bring a good life to the people of Xuzhou, but they can't manage it for a lifetime. ”

"So what solution do you have?" This time she spoke, but it was the Holy Aunt. She looked at Lin Wanrong eagerly. His eyes fluttered.

You fox. Finally can't help it?! Put me on the top of the peak and wave, and let your mother's family ask, and you won't be afraid that I will miss it. Someone knocked out?! It's up to you to do it then! The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He snorted indignantly and turned his head away: "I haven't thought of it yet!" ”

"Really?" An Biru grinned: "That's a pity." Originally, I heard that a female khan in the desert had been poisoned, and I wanted to go and see it—"

"I thought of it, I thought of it!" Lin Wanrong suddenly smiled.

Sister An glared at him fiercely and giggled: "That female khan is a magical person, you think so fast, I thought about giving you more time!" ”

The holy aunt looked charming, but the faint sour smell was very clear, Lin Wanrong didn't dare to take it, and hurriedly said: "Solve this matter, in fact, it is not difficult, in addition to Xuzhou Mansion Yin, you can set up another Miao family elder council to clamp each other with Mansion Yin!" ”

"Miao Patriarchal Council?!" This title is fresh enough, and everyone is dumbfounded when they hear it. An Biru said angrily: "What does this mean, say it quickly!" ”

"The so-called elders' council is that within the whole of Xuzhou, the Miao family elects seven to eight elders by themselves, led by the head of Miao Township, enters the government to discuss matters, and implements the autonomy of Miao Township in the state. All local affairs involving the Miao family, such as agriculture, commerce and trade, education, etc., are decided by the Miao family themselves, and then reported to the government for implementation. In addition to the central policy that must not be resisted, any new policy implemented on the Miao family must be put forward by the government and submitted to the council for discussion and approval before it can be implemented. Otherwise, it will not be executed! The government and the council clamp each other, and if the proposal is rejected and the two sides have differences that cannot be reconciled, they can be handed over to the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi to decide. If you are not satisfied, you will report to the court again, and the emperor will make a clear judgment! ”

"This, this—" Han Nong, Buyi and the others were so shocked that their hearts jumped out when they heard this, and Sister An was even more surprised. The little brother didn't know how long he thought about it, and the elders' council he proposed was simply half a mansion!
