Chapter 250: Hongyi Hall
Just when Fang Lang was still weighing the gains and losses of Fang Xinshui's joining Hongmen.
The old man sighed and said:
"Alas! Hongmen? Can't think of going around and coming back?
If you really want to open a Hongmen Hall in Brazil, you don't have to go through the hassle at all.
Lang'er, your grandfather was actually a member of Hongmen back then.
According to him, the reason why he joined the Kingdom of Heaven back then was because Qin Shuai of the Kingdom of Heaven was a native of Hongmen.
He is also a person who is rushing to this Qin Shuai."
When the family heard the old man's words, they all looked at him dumbfounded.
At the beginning, when Fang Lang was discussing the history and program of Hongmen with Fang Xinshui at home, the old man seemed to be fresh throughout the whole process, and he never revealed the identity of the master.
Unexpectedly, today when I said that my uncle Fang Xinshui was going to join Hongmen, I blew up a big Buddha.
The Qin Shuai mentioned by the old man should be Qin Rigang, one of the main generals of the Heavenly Kingdom.
It's just that Fang Lang didn't expect that this Heavenly Official Prime Minister, one of the eight righteous people in the Heavenly Kingdom, was also born in Hongmen.
It seems that the Hongmen people are really very flexible, and in order to participate in the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty, they actually joined this God-worshipping organization.
"Grandpa, when we were discussing Hongmen at home before, I didn't hear you say that Tai Ye still has such an identity!"
Fang Lang hurriedly asked.
The old man saw that the whole family was looking at him, sighed and said:
"Hey! At the beginning, your grandfather didn't mention the Hongmen incident to me, and it wasn't until he was old and always liked to recall some past events that I heard about this organization in his mouth.
However, your grandfather said that there are many branches in Hongmen, and some people do some things that are not on the table.
made him feel dull on his face, so he rarely mentioned this identity again.
As for why I didn't say anything about the rules of the Hongmen that you discussed.
That's because I don't understand it either! I'm also listening to something new."
Fang Lang and Fang Xinshui glanced at each other, but they didn't expect this to be such a situation.
However, the old man's meaning is also very clear, it seems that Fang Lang's grandfather was really not a simple character at the beginning.
The reason for the relatively low status may be that he joined the kingdom of heaven relatively late and is relatively young!
Speaking of Hongmen, in fact, his original intention was not to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, as can be seen from the original "Thirty-six Oaths" of Hongmen, which rarely contained political words.
This gradually changed after the war, and in order to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and seek refuge, many intellectuals joined the Hongmen, which changed the personnel structure of the Hongmen, which was dominated by peasants and small craftsmen.
Under the influence of these intellectuals, Hongmen began to carry out various activities with the goal of opposing the Qing Dynasty.
In the "piglet" trade in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Hongmen disciples personally abducted, trafficked, and transported Chinese laborers, profiting from this evil trade.
In the southern provinces, Hongmen disciples monopolized the trade of liquor and ***, and also opened many casinos and brothels,
The people who joined the Hongmen came from three sects and nine streams, and the members came from a mixed background, and these Hongmen disciples engaged in illegal business made the Hongmen's reputation for loyalty and righteousness plummet.
Therefore, what Old Man Fang said is not on the stage, it should be talking about these people and things.
"But the master has passed away for so long, and we haven't joined the Hongmen, how can we directly establish the Hongmen Hall without going through the Hongmen?
The Hongmen Hall established in this way, the Hongmen Hall in other parts of the world will not be recognized!"
The identity of Hongmen is not passed down from generation to generation, and it does not mean that the grandfather is from Hongmen, they will be Hongmen.
Therefore, Fang Lang felt that what his grandfather thought was still too simple.
Fang Xinshui also understood this, so he shook his head and said:
"Dad! It's not that simple, if we want to set up Hongmen Hall.
First of all, me
They themselves must be Hongmen people.
If you haven't opened an incense hall and your name isn't on the books, who will recognize your identity?"
When the old man heard what the two of them said, he didn't say anything, but got up and went to the shrine, pulled out a drawer and opened it.
Fang Lang didn't understand what the old man was doing, so he hurriedly went over to help.
But I saw that the old man took out a piece of red silk wrapped object from the drawer and handed it over casually.
Fang Lang hurriedly took it.
Just listen to the old man:
"At the beginning, your grandfather said that this was a token of Hongyitang that he brought out.
See if it's useful?"
Fang Lang and Fang Xinshui glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that there was still such a thing in the shrine at home, why hadn't they noticed it before?
Fang Lang handed it to Fang Xinshui and motioned for him to open it, while he stepped forward to hold his grandfather's hand and let him sit down on the recliner.
After Fang Xinshui solemnly took it, he motioned to his nephew Fang Tao, who had been watching the excitement on the side, and cleaned up all the things on the table.
Then, put the package on and open it, gently unwrapping the outermost red cloth bag.
A piece of yellow silk leaked inside, which had faded a little.
After opening it, everyone gathered around,
If you look closely, it turns out to be a yellow pennant, with the three big characters "Hongyitang" embroidered on the red thread, and the bottom and beveled edges of the flag are also red borders.
Fang Lang understood that this should be the name of the hall where the master was.
Inside the flag was another piece of red silk with words written on it, and as Fang Xinshui slowly opened it, before Fang Lang could see the content of the words written on the red silk, he saw that it was wrapped in red silk, which turned out to be a booklet.
The cover of the booklet is beautifully made, more than three millimeters thick, and it looks like it is wrapped in yellow silk, but because of the length of time.
The yellow cover is already a little white, and there is a large black stain in the upper left corner.
Fang Lang took a closer look and found that this stain should be the color that has been changed by precipitation and oxidation over time after blood penetrates into it.
On the right side, from top to bottom, several traditional Chinese characters are written very clearly "Hongyitang Roster".
After Fang Xinshui saw this booklet, his eyes widened, and he looked at Fang Lang in disbelief.
Fang Lang's gaze also happened to meet the gaze of Xinshui above, and the eyes of the two of them slowly changed from shock to surprise.
The significance of this roster is extraordinary.
With this roster and the banner of Hongyitang, Fang Xinshui can directly act in the name of Hongyitang.
It is even possible to directly invite the global Hongmen witness, and the Hongmen Hongyi Hall has been reborn in Brazil.
The history of this hall is obviously earlier than that of Hongmen Zhigongtang.
In this way, even if the helm of Hongmen is now the Zhigong Court, the subordinate relationship between the two halls will become less obvious.
It is obviously very advantageous for the Fang family.
As Fang Xinshui picked up the roster and checked it, Fang Lang noticed the red silk that wrapped the roster, which didn't look simple.
I saw that on this somewhat whitish red silk, in the middle of which was written in black pen, "Bingzheng except for female cadres" four big characters.
At the top of the large characters is a slightly smaller font that reads "Red Peony Hanrui", and below is "White Peony Open".
On the right side is written "Two Dragons for the Pearl", and on the left side is written "Double Phoenix Chaoyang".
The font is not good-looking, and the level of calligraphy cannot be seen at all, and the cultural level of the people who write these words should not be very high.
Even the two characters of the two dragons look more like typos.
However, when Fang Lang saw this red silk, he felt that this thing should not be simple.
As for the specific function, you may have to ask Hongmen to know.
Fang Xinshui said while looking at the roster:
"Lang'er, do you think these things work?"
Fang Lang looked at Fang Xinshuidao, who was obviously smiling:
"It's useless or not, don't you just know if you ask?
manage
Didn't Mr. Tu invite you to join Hongmen?
Then you just put these things out and see what he says."
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Fang Xinshui directly closed the roster and looked at Fang Lang and said:
"You mean, agree to me joining the Hongmen and opening the Hongmen Hall in Brazil?"
"No, it's not to join Hongmen, it's to reorganize Hongyitang.
Invite Mr. Situ to Brazil to preside over the ceremony, so that Hongyitang can return to the embrace of Hongmen in the world."
Fang Lang said with a smile on his face.
With this coat, in Brazil, the Fang family can completely control this Hongmen force and use it for their own use.
You can even use this flag to directly gather the Hongmen disciples who came from your hometown.
The rapid development and growth avoided the penetration of the Hongmen rudder into Brazil.
"Yes, reorganize Hong Yi Tang, from today onwards, our gang will be called Hong Yi Tang. Haha."
After Fang Xinshui finished speaking, he laughed proudly.
But before he could finish laughing, he was slapped with the old man's crutch.
"Getting carried away, things haven't even started to be done, how do you know that others won't stumble on you.
I'm getting older, and I haven't learned to be steady yet."
Frightened, Fang Xinshui hurriedly shut up, and everyone laughed.
Seeing the opportunity, Yang Xiuer hurriedly interjected:
"O prodigal! How long can I stay when I come back this time? You're a big boss, and now you're out of business.
I'm wondering if I'll arrange a blind date for you too!"
Fang Lang never thought that his mother would be waiting for him here, and when he heard that Qi Qingshan had been arranged for a blind date, he was worried about whether he would also be arranged.
I didn't think this would open my mouth.
Waved his hand again and again:
"Mom, no, no, I already have a girlfriend, and I'm studying medicine in the United States.
I'll bring her back to you when she's on summer vacation."
As soon as these words came out, the family members were full of surprise, and they asked about Fang Lang's situation.
Fang Lang didn't know whose question to answer.
It was the old man's crutches that slammed heavily on the ground that made everyone quiet for a while.
I saw the old man cough lightly and said:
"Good grandson! Tell grandpa, whose daughter is it!
There doesn't seem to be a girl in the village who went to the United States to study medicine?"
Hearing grandpa talk about the girls in the village, Fang Lang was a little big, could he only find a wife in the village?
"Grandpa, my girlfriend is not Brazilian, but Italian, and we met in Italy.
Her father is my partner in the Italian business."
"What? Italian? No, you are the eldest grandson of the long house, how can you marry a white woman and go home!
Isn't the incense of our Fang family changing? No, I don't agree."
After Old Man Fang heard Fang Lang's words, he stood up from the recliner in a moment.
The mother beside her also hurriedly said:
"Yes! Lang'er, if you marry a white woman and come back, it will be a problem for me to communicate with her at that time, how can this work?"
His uncle and uncle had an indifferent expression.
However, my aunt was standing on the side with an embarrassed expression, after all, he was the white woman mentioned by his grandfather, a white woman of Portuguese descent.
Maybe I noticed my aunt's embarrassment.
Fang Lang's mother's face was also a little unnatural.
"Mom, don't worry! Your daughter-in-law is learning Chinese now, and there will be absolutely no problem communicating with you at that time.
Grandpa, don't be so old-fashioned, what age is it now, and there are few Chinese women in Brazil.
If I'm still looking for a girlfriend in the village, I'm going to get married."
Who knew that the old man did not forgive:
"What close relatives get married, grandpa's cousins and sisters can get married, why can't the Chinese girls in the village.
I don't care, you are the eldest grandson of the eldest house, you must marry a Chinese, and then my grandson must also be a yellow-skinned Chinese."
