Holding Best, Ling returned to the village safely.

At the entrance of the village, he met the old village chief who was rushing back with a load of grapes.

"Uncle Zhang......" he immediately stepped forward with a smile.

"Little boy......" As soon as the old village chief saw Ling Ping'an, he immediately became happy: "You're back......"

Ling Ping'an said: "Uncle Zhang, I told you about it...... No need for such a hassle......"

"I'll just come back and pick these grapes myself......"

The old village chief smiled honestly and said, "Little boy, how dare I let you go to the mountains to do such rough work?" ”

"Besides...... You don't know this mountain either......"

This made Ling Ping'an listen and was stunned.

Oh too......

He rarely returns, and if he doesn't have a road sign, he probably won't even know how to get back to the village.

So, he said, "Uncle Zhang...... I'll pick ......."

said that he would take over the burden of the other party.

The other party immediately shook his head: "Little boy, you just let me pick it up at home......

Ling Ping'an looked at it, but he was also helpless.

However, it is already the information age.

However, there are still a lot of feudal remnants left over from the Federal Empire.

Fortunately......

A new generation of young people has grown up.

Young people living in the era of mobile Internet have no comparable knowledge and vision in the past.

Thinking of these in his heart, Ling Ping'an heard the old village chief say: "Little boy, it just so happens that those two boys from my family are back today......

"Wait, I'll tell them to come and see you......"

Ling Ping'an's face changed greatly, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary to meet you......"

"Uncle Zhang......" he said earnestly, "Now, it is the forties of the twenty-eighth century of the Republican Era......

"Let them pass......"

Ling Ping'an still remembers the scene when he was a child, when he went home with his parents, several elderly people came to the door with their families.

When they meet, they bow, pay homage with great bows, and call 'little master'.

When he was a child, he didn't understand, so he suffered.

Now that he has grown up, it is really difficult for him to accept that in the new era, there are such feudal remnants.

Besides......

Even in the feudal era, isn't there also the old Wang Xie Tang Qianyan who flew into the homes of ordinary people?

Lao Ling's family, decades ago, no longer lived in the village.

It is no longer the same as in the past, providing shelter to the old subordinates and subordinates in the village.

Since they did not take responsibility, then, even according to the rules of the feudal era, these old men have every reason to refuse to be loyal!

This is a tradition that has been around for 2,000 years.

Han Xin's kindness of a meal is repaid with a thousand gold.

It is because, in ancient times, the food of the king was the matter of loyalty to the king.

If you eat your food, you have to sell your life, Han Xin doesn't want to sell his life, and he doesn't want to be whipped by public opinion, so he has to compensate with his daughter!

Therefore, it is unacceptable to be reasonable and peaceful.

After all, if he accepts such a model.

According to tradition, there are obligations and responsibilities.

What duties and responsibilities?

Protect, shelter, and provide privileges to your vassals.

In a modern era, it basically means that he has to take on the responsibility of finding jobs for these people, arranging objects, and then educating his children and future generations.

Does he have such abilities?

No!

Even if there were, would he be willing to do it?

No, I won't.

With that time and effort, it's better to play a few more games and write a few chapters.

However, the old village chief said with a smile: "Little boy, what you said is wrong......

"The Zhang family saluted the Ling family......"

"It's been a two-hundred-year tradition......"

"You can't break this tradition!"

Ling Ping'an was about to say more, but the old village chief had already picked grapes and walked towards the ancestral house of the Ling family.

As he walked, he also said to Ling Ping'an: "You don't need to persuade this matter anymore!" ”

"By the way......" he seemed to think of something: "Little boy, I have just talked to Luyuan Company about ......"

"Your more than 200 acres of land will not be renewed next year......

"This matter should be handled in two days......

"That's ......," he asked, "what are your plans to do if these lands are not leased to Luyuan?" ”

"Do as I say......"

"You can just plant these lands yourself......

"Those boys in my family will take care of you here......"

"The money you make every year is guaranteed to be several times more than renting it out!"

Ling Ping'an listened, and his head suddenly grew.

Isn't this going around and around going back to the old pattern?

The Lingjia is the landlord and the lord.

And then one shoulder provokes the hopes of several families.

But the problem is that this past mode of production relations and production has gone bankrupt more than 100 years ago.

Rapid industrialization has destroyed all old relations of production and social models.

Landowner?

How many steam engines did the landlord have?

So, he smiled and replied, "Uncle Zhang...... I don't want to be so troublesome......"

There are only about 200 acres of land......

The annual output benefit is worth millions.

After deducting labor, water, electricity and input, how much can be left?

"You can find a company for me and rent it out......"

"Really...... If you want......" Ling Ping'an said, "Then I will rent it to you......"

"...... at the original price"

Anyway, the proceeds of those lands are all donated.

Donated to the fixed 'Federal Imperial Nature Conservation Foundation' for ecological environmental protection and governance.

When the old village chief listened, he knew that he couldn't persuade this little master.

He sighed inwardly.

But there was still a simple smile on his face: "Little boy, since this is the case, I won't persuade you......"

"It's just, please be sure to meet my boys......"

It is important to establish and reaffirm the relationship between each generation.

Its importance is even higher than life!

Especially for his family!

The Ling Clan is more than just a sovereign!

It's also where faith lies!

It's just that this little master has always resisted such a thing.

If it weren't for Zu Xun, he would have taken the children and went to the city to pay respects.

Thinking of this, in order to increase his persuasiveness, the old village chief said seriously: "This is not just my request......

"It is also the meaning of Baoguo Gong......"

"Please don't say no!"

Ling Ping'an listened, pursed his lips, shook his head and sighed, "Uncle Zhang, ......"

"I'm not as great as my ancestors!"

According to what Lingping's parents told him.

The old village chief's house was the Ling family's nursing home a long time ago.

It's the kind of movie in which the person standing guard with a knife on the high wall of the landlord's house.

When the ancestor of Ling'an joined the army and went to the battlefield of liberation in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the children of the Zhang family, the Hu family and other families also went with him.

Except for Lingbao, everyone else is immortally resting on that mountain in the New Qinling Mountains.

But the problem is that the ancestor of Ling Ping was a hero!

Heroes have their own integrity, so they can be followed by everyone.

What is he?

An otaku who just wants to eat and wait for death, lie down and win equally.

If you can't write anything, you can't do martial arts, and you can even mess up a bookstore.

What qualifications are there compared to the heroic ancestors?

But......

After all, he still didn't talk to the old village chief.

can only smile wryly and agree.

There is no way, the other party has brought out the ancestors, and the ancestors of his family have all died for the ancestor of the Ling family.

If it weren't for their sacrifices, would there be spiritual peace now?

You must know that the old Ling family is a single transmission of nine generations!

"I can only hope that the children of Uncle Zhang's family are all young people in the new era......

Ling Ping'an thought.

He is very confident in this.

Not to mention the mobile Internet era, even in the past era of electrified TV, the traditional relationship has also been washed away by modernization.

To be honest, the Ling family was able to maintain such an incomparably close relationship with the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Hu family for more than two hundred years.

What a miracle it really is!

You must know that even the palace ministers of the royal family are palace guards, and they have been changed for an unknown number of batches.

While talking, the two came to the ancestral house.

Ling Ping'an pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

In the courtyard, there are already people waiting there.

"Little boy......" Uncle Wang stepped forward and bowed.

"Little Boy ......" on crutches, the trembling old woman also bowed.

"Grandma Hu......" Ling Ping'an looked at the old woman, and hurriedly walked over to support the old woman.

This grandmother of the Hu family is Ling Ping'an who comes back every year to worship her ancestors, and she must invite her.

The reason is simple - he does not know how to worship his ancestors.

What are those hexagrams, rituals, and blessings......

He couldn't figure it out.

The old woman looked at Ling Ping'an, and the wrinkles on her face immediately became kind.

She smiled and said, "The little boy has grown up! ”

Ling Ping'an didn't understand what he heard: "Grandma, I'm already an adult......"

"Have you forgotten?"

"My coronation ceremony is still hosted by you!"

The tradition of the Federal Empire is that eighteen-year-old men wear crowns.

This was an important ritual in the past!

Almost all adult men must be crowned and then asked to be given a word by an elder or teacher, indicating that they have reached adulthood, can live independently and take on the important responsibilities of the country and the world.

With modernization, this tradition declined for a time.

But with the times, a few decades ago, this tradition was resurrected.

The young people of the Federal Empire, both in the city and in the countryside, at home and abroad.

The importance of the coming-of-age coronation ceremony is once again highlighted.

It's a product of the republican 'retro culture movement' and a sign that the emerging urban middle class is beginning to miss the past.

The flag is also very shiny.

Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan were carried out.

Ling Ping'an is no exception, he rushed back to the fashion, went home, and invited Grandma Hu, who understands the tradition, to hold a crowning ceremony for herself.

Since then, Ling Ping never wants to touch those traditional rituals and rituals again!

It's too much trouble!

A coronation ceremony, a day......

A crowd of people watched, just like a monkey.

That is, that thing was requested by himself on his own initiative.

What he decides, he has to do on his knees, otherwise he would have run away a long time ago.

The old woman listened and smiled: "Little boy, the old woman has a bad memory, and she has forgotten about this matter!" ”

But her eyes lit up incomparably brightly.

Best, the kitten, poked his head out of Lingping's arms.

His eyes reflected the appearance of the old woman in front of him.

A ......

Two ......

Three ......

……

Nine fluffy tails were reflected in the shadow of the old woman on the ground.

Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox!

Best instantly became nervous.

Cause......

This is the Fox of Kings!

The ancient legend flashed in the heart of the cat goddess: "Wang Fa Xiuming, three talents, then the nine-tailed fox to!" ”

In ancient times, the nine-tailed fox was one of the sacred beasts that stood tall at the top!

But the question is, hasn't the nine-tailed fox already been extinct?
