"Liu Tianxiao! Keep your mouth clean. Ninety percent of the people here are your elders. How can you speak? Today is such a special day. If you don't want to stay in the Liu family, get out and squat.
You haven’t been honest after five years of service. People who don’t know better would think that you have returned from serving in the army for five years!”
The person who criticized me was not the Grand Duke, but the Second Duke.
If the Grand Duke is the talker of Liu's Feng Shui family, then the Second Duke is the master who has been assisting the Grand Duke.
The so-called snake and rat are from the same den, and everyone is the same.
My grandfather had nine brothers, but my grandfather was the first to go down to the underworld to drink tea, while the other nine were alive and well.
Sometimes I wonder if there is really a saying that good people are rewarded in this world.
I have never taken these elders seriously, so Ergong's abuse did not inspire me to refute.
The Grand Duke stretched out his hand to stop the Second Duke and spoke to persuade.
"Don't argue. Today is the day for our Liu family to worship our ancestors. The people in our ancestral hall are all our own family members, and the people outside the ancestral hall are also our own family members. The quarrels between our own family members are nothing more than making jokes for outsiders. I know how many of you have conflicts.
But let me put it all aside today. Let’s sit down and have a meal together in harmony, so as not to hurt your harmony.”
The second man glared at me, feeling very dissatisfied.
I looked at Ergong and smiled disdainfully at him.
Da Gong stopped the quarrel between us. He stood up from the Taishi chair and shouted outside.
"Fire the cannon and take our ancestors home!"
Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside the ancestral hall.
The so-called bringing ancestors home seems to me to be a very stupid feudal superstition.
At this time every year, our Liu family will dig out our ancestors from the ground and carry them to the ancestral hall. According to the words of the elders, we share blessings and share hardships.
Since today is ancestor worship, everyone in the Liu family must kneel down and worship their ancestors.
Of course, the body is not brought back from the grave, but the coffin is brought back.
A wooden coffin painted golden yellow was carried into the ancestral hall by eight people and set up on six benches.
I think this kind of thing is unnecessary. The ancestor was lying in the ground, only to be dug up every five years and then put back into the grave. Isn't this torturing him?
I heard that the ancestor of our Liu family has a great background. As for his identity, everyone has their own opinions.
The person lying in the coffin was not my great-grandfather, but a great figure from the Qing Dynasty.
As the sound of firecrackers was heard outside the ancestral hall, everyone knelt down facing the coffin.
If it weren't for the ancestor lying in the coffin in front of me, I wouldn't kneel in front of the coffin so easily.
After the welcoming ceremony was completed, the offering table was set up and the nine grandfathers performed the ritual, which was quite boring to watch.
After a series of operations were completed, it came to the moment that everyone was most concerned about.
Who will be the talkative person of Liu's Feng Shui family this time?
The Grand Duke has been elected for three consecutive terms. I have to admit that he does have some skills. The Liu Feng Shui family is not popular in our circle. Although there are many people, it is not an admirable sect. There are only a few famous Feng Shui families.
Teachers are respected by others, and among them is myself.
"Dear family members, I know that my being elected as the speaker for three consecutive terms has made some people unhappy. Therefore, this time I decided to withdraw from the election and no longer participate in the selection of the Liu Feng Shui family speaker. We still follow the traditional voting method.
Everyone can participate!”
At this time, there was a box placed in front of the Grand Duke.
Everyone has a list, and there are three places in the list.
There are primary and final selections for speaker selection, which is a normal operation.
When the order was given to me, I wrote my name on it without hesitation.
Then, I looked up at my father, who was the first person to go up and vote.
As a result, the second man suddenly appeared, grabbed my father's wrist, took the order from his hand, and opened it in front of everyone.
"Ayao, what do you mean by this? Your son's name is all written on the three lists?" the second master asked.
"What's wrong? Isn't it possible? Doesn't my son deserve it?" the father retorted.
"According to the customs of our Liu family, those who commit crimes and commit crimes are not allowed to participate in the election. Your son Tian Xiao has been in prison. This is something everyone knows. Strictly speaking, Tian Xiao is not eligible to run for election. Of course.
Yao, you can do it." Er Gong scolded with a serious look on his face.
"Hey! Second uncle, a man can't go back on his word. I've already written Tian Xiao's name. It's your business whether you can let me put it in. Do you want me to run for election? I don't have that spare time. I can't put it in.
The ballot box is your business."
My father turned around and returned to his seat, not caring about everyone's weird looks.
Although I wrote my name, I was not in a hurry to vote.
The voting time lasts for half an hour, and everyone can even whisper among themselves to discuss canvassing for votes.
I saw that the new talkative person of our Liu Feng Shui family should fall into the hands of the second master.
The Second Duke has always been assisting the Grand Duke in doing things, and there is no credit but hard work.
However, just because they are elders does not mean I have to let them go.
"Tian Xiao, I wrote your name."
My cousin Liu Weiping said to me.
I glanced at Liu Weiping's list, and my name was on all three lists.
I was a little curious and asked.
"How do you write my name? Everyone is targeting my family. If your dad and grandpa find out about this, wouldn't they scold you to death?"
"Don't worry...this is what my grandpa meant."
As soon as I finished speaking, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder.
I looked up and saw Jiu Gong appearing behind me.
Among the nine grandfathers, only Mr. Jiu is not very involved in the internal strife between the families. He is relatively kind and does not mean to look down on my family. It’s just that his son, my uncle Jiu, is a bit extreme, but Mr. Jiu himself is quite good.
of.
"Master Jiu!" I greeted.
"Tian Xiao, your grandfather told me to take good care of you when he was alive. Although you have been in prison, I know you are right, so I voted for you. For so long, there has been no young man
I think you should be fine if you sit in the conversational position!" Jiu Gong said with a smile.
With the first round of primaries, I actually entered the candidate list.
I thought no one would vote for me, but in the final primary election the number of votes was 211.
According to regulations, the top 20 people with the most votes can enter the alternate election, which is the second round of the election.
20 into 10.
10 into 3.
Choose one of 3.
Choose according to these rules.
It is not difficult to see that the most controversial thing now is my existence, Liu Tianxiao.
People who were kicked out of the first round of primaries were very unconvinced. Some people used the fact that I had been in prison to discuss it, saying that I was not worthy of participating in the election of Liu's Feng Shui Family Spokesperson. Indulging me meant breaking the rules set by my ancestors.
And now we are still in front of our ancestors. Isn’t this a crime of bullying?
At this time, I was already sitting in the reserve seat for 20 people, and I was forced to stand up.
