While Fang Lang was still weighing the pros and cons of Fang Xinshui joining Hongmen.
The old man sighed and said:
"Oh! Hongmen? I didn't expect to go around and come back again?"
If you really want to open a Hongmen church in Brazil, you don’t have to go to such trouble.
Lang'er, your great-grandfather was actually a member of the Hongmen family back then.
According to what he said, the reason why he joined the Kingdom of Heaven was because Commander Qin of the Kingdom of Heaven was a member of the Hongmen.
He was also attracted by Qin Shuai's personality. "
After hearing what the old man said, the whole family looked at him in shock.
At the beginning, when Fang Lang and Fang Xinshui discussed the history and program of Hongmen at home, the old man seemed to be listening to them all the time, and he never revealed his identity.
Unexpectedly, today when it was mentioned that uncle Fang Xinshui was going to join Hongmen, a giant Buddha exploded.
The Qin Shuai the old man mentioned should be Qin Rigang, one of the main generals of the Kingdom of Heaven.
But Fang Lang didn't expect that the Prime Minister of Tianguan, one of the eight most righteous people in the Kingdom of Heaven, was also born in Hongmen.
It seems that the people in Hongmen are really flexible. In order to participate in the anti-Qing cause, they actually joined this God-worshiping religious organization.
"Grandpa, when we were discussing Hongmen at home before, I never heard you say that Grandpa has such an identity!"
Fang Lang asked quickly.
When the old man saw everyone in the family looking at him, he sighed and said:
"Hi! At first, your great-grandfather didn't mention the Hongmen incident to me. It wasn't until he got older and always liked to think about the past that I heard about this organization from his mouth.
However, your uncle said that there are many branches in Hongmen in his hometown, and some people do some things that are not worthy of publicity.
It made him feel shameless, so he rarely mentioned this identity again.
As for why you are discussing those Hongmen rules and code words, I won’t tell you.
That’s because I don’t understand either! I also heard it was new. "
Fang Lang and Fang Xinshui looked at each other, not expecting this to be the case.
However, the old man's meaning was made very clear. It seems that Fang Lang's grandfather was really not a simple person back then.
The reason for the lower status may be that he joined the Kingdom of Heaven relatively late and at a relatively young age!
Speaking of Hongmen, in fact, the original intention of its establishment was not to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. This can be seen from the fact that there were very few political words in the "Thirty-six Oaths" of Hongmen.
This situation gradually changed after the Anti-Japanese War. In order to resist the Qing Dynasty and seek asylum, many intellectuals joined Hongmen. This changed the personnel structure of Hongmen, which was mainly farmers and small craftsmen.
Under the influence of these intellectuals, Hongmen began to carry out various activities with the goal of anti-Qing.
However, many Hongmen disciples are also using their identities to engage in illegal activities. In the "pig piglet" trade in the late Qing Dynasty, Hongmen disciples personally abducted, sold, and transported Chinese laborers, making huge profits from this criminal trade.
In the southern provinces, Hongmen disciples monopolized the trade of liquor and drugs, and also opened many casinos and brothels.
The people who joined Hongmen came from three religions and nine streams, and their members were of mixed origins. These Hongmen disciples who were engaged in illegal business made Hongmen's reputation for loyalty plummet.
Therefore, when Mr. Fang said that he cannot be put on the stage, he should be talking about these people and things.
"But my grandpa has been dead for so long, and none of us have joined Hongmen. How could we just establish a Hongmen hall without going through Hongmen?"
Hongmen churches established in this way will not be recognized by Hongmen churches in other parts of the world! "
The identity of Hongmen is not passed down from generation to generation. It does not mean that if the master is a member of Hongmen, they will be members of Hongmen.
Therefore, Fang Lang felt that grandpa's thinking was a bit too simple.
Fang Xinshui also understood this, so he shook his head and said:
"Dad! Things are not that simple if we want to establish a Hongmen hall.
firstly, I
We ourselves must be members of Hongmen.
If you have never opened an incense hall and your name is not on the list, who will recognize your identity? "
After the old man heard what the two said, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he 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 hurried over to help him.
But I saw the old man pull out an object wrapped in red silk from the drawer and hand it over casually.
Fang Lang quickly took it.
Just listen to the old man say:
"At the beginning, your great-grandfather said that this was what he brought out, and it was called a token of Hongyi Hall.
Take a look, does it work? "
Fang Lang and Fang Xinshui looked at each other. Unexpectedly, there was another thing like this in the shrine at home. Why hadn't they noticed it before?
Fang Lang handed it to Fang Xinshui and told him to open it, and he stepped forward to hold up his grandfather's hand and let him sit down on the recliner.
After Fang Xinshui took it solemnly, he signaled his nephew Fang Tao, who had been watching the fun, to clean everything on the table.
Then, put the package on and open it, and gently untie the outermost red cloth bag.
A piece of faded yellow silk leaked out from inside.
After opening it, everyone gathered around.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a yellow pennant with the three characters "Hong Yi Tang" embroidered in red thread. There were also red trims on the bottom and bevel edges of the flag.
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 writing on it. As Fang Xinshui slowly opened it, before Fang Lang could see the content of the writing on the red silk, he saw that it was wrapped in red silk. It turned out to be A booklet.
The cover of the album is very beautifully made, with a thickness of more than three millimeters. It looks like it is wrapped in yellow silk cloth, but it was too long.
The yellow cover has turned a little white, and there is a large black stain in the upper left corner.
Fang Lang took a closer look and found that the stain should be the color of the blood that infiltrated and oxidized over time.
On the right side from top to bottom, "Hongyi Hall Roster" is written very clearly in traditional Chinese characters.
After Fang Xinshui saw the booklet, his eyes widened and he looked at Fang Lang in disbelief.
Fang Lang's gaze also happened to meet Fang Xinshui's gaze, and their eyes slowly changed from shock to surprise.
This roster makes a lot of sense.
With this roster and the flag of Hongyitang, Fang Xinshui can directly act in the name of Hongyitang.
You can even directly invite Hongmen around the world to witness that Hongmen and Hongyi Hall have been reborn in Brazil.
The history of this hall is obviously earlier than Hongmen Zhigong Hall.
In this way, even if the chief helm of Hongmen is now Zhi Gong Tang, the subordinate relationship between the two halls will become less obvious.
It is obviously very beneficial to the Fang family.
As Fang Xinshui picked up the roster and looked at it, Fang Lang noticed the red silk wrapping the roster, which looked not simple.
On this somewhat whitish red silk, there were four big characters written in black pen in the middle: "Bingzheng eliminates women."
Above the large characters is the words "Red Peony with stamens" in slightly smaller characters, and below it is "White Peony in full bloom".
On the right side it says "Two Dragons Fight for the Pearl" and on the left side it says "Two Phoenixes Chaoyang".
The fonts are not pretty, and the level of calligraphy cannot be seen at all. The person who wrote these words must not have a very high level of education.
Even the word "二" in "Two Dragons Struggle for the Pearl" looks more like a typo.
However, when Fang Lang saw this red silk, he felt that this thing was not simple.
As for the specific function, you may have to ask people in Hongmen to know.
Fang Xinshui looked at the roster and said:
"Lang'er, do you think these things are useful?"
Fang Lang looked at Fang Xinshui who was obviously smiling and said:
"Whether it's useful or not, can't you just ask?
manage
Didn’t Mr. Tu invite you to join Hongmen?
Then just put these things out and see what he says. "
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Fang Xinshui closed the roster directly, looked at Fang Lang and said:
"You mean, you agree with me to join Hongmen and open a Hongmen church in Brazil?"
"No, it's not about joining Hongmen, it's about reorganizing Hongyi Hall.
Invite Mr. Situ to Brazil to host the ceremony, allowing Hongyi Hall to 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 power and use it for themselves.
You can even use this flag to directly gather the Hongmen disciples who came from your hometown.
The rapid development and growth prevented the Hongmen General Helmet from penetrating into Brazil.
"Yes, reorganize Hong Yi Tang. From today on, our gang will be called Hong Yi Tang. Haha."
After Fang Xinshui finished speaking, he laughed proudly.
But before he could finish laughing, he received a cane from the old man.
"You get carried away and things haven't even started yet. How do you know that others won't hinder you?
I'm a lot older, and I haven't learned to be steady yet. "
Fang Xinshui was so frightened that he quickly stopped talking, and everyone laughed.
Seeing the opportunity, Yang Xiuer quickly interjected:
"Lang'er! How long can you stay when you come back this time? You're a big boss now, and you can be considered successful now.
I'm thinking about arranging a blind date for you too! "
Fang Lang never expected that his mother would be waiting for him here. When he heard that Qi Qingshan had been arranged for a blind date, he was worried whether he would also be arranged.
I didn't expect this to happen.
He waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"Mom, no, no, I already have a girlfriend and am studying medicine in the United States.
I'll bring it back to you when she goes on summer vacation. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the family was full of surprise and asked about Fang Lang's situation.
Fang Lang didn't know whose question to answer.
It was the old man's crutch that hit the ground hard that made everyone temporarily quiet.
The old man coughed twice and said:
"My dear grandson! Tell me, whose daughter is this?
There seems to be no girl in the village who went to the United States to study medicine? "
Hearing his grandfather talk about the girls in the village, Fang Lang felt a little confused. Could he only find a wife in the village?
"Grandpa, my girlfriend is not Brazilian, but Italian. We met in Italy.
Her father was my partner in the Italian business. "
"What? Italian? No, you are the eldest grandson of the eldest son, how can you marry a white woman and go home!
Hasn’t the incense of our Fang family changed? No, I don't agree. "
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Mr. Fang stood up from the recliner in a hurry.
The mother beside me also quickly said:
"Yes! Lang'er, if you marry a white woman, it will be difficult for me to communicate with her. How can this be done?"
His uncle and uncle, on the other hand, had indifferent expressions on their faces.
On the other hand, my aunt stood by with a somewhat embarrassed expression. After all, she was what grandpa called Mrs. White, a white woman of Portuguese origin.
Maybe he noticed his aunt's embarrassment.
Fang Lang's mother's face also looked a little unnatural.
"Mom, don't worry! Your daughter-in-law is learning Chinese now, and she will have no problem communicating with you by then.
Grandpa, don’t be so old-fashioned. It’s no time now. There are only a few Chinese women in Brazil.
If I still find a girlfriend in the village, I will get married as a consanguineous person. "
Unexpectedly, the old man was reluctant and said:
"When it comes to consanguineous marriage, my grandfather's cousins can get married, but why can't the Chinese girls in the village do it?
I don’t care, you are the eldest grandson of the eldest son, so you must marry a Chinese. When the time comes, my grandson must also be a Chinese with yellow skin. "
