When he heard that Yun Shu said that he would stay in Changbai Village, Da Zhuang's expression changed instantly. Even if Yun Shu explained that it was not now, his expression did not get much better.
"Sister, Changbai Village...it's strange, the people here didn't welcome us before!"
Da Zhuang was still young after all. He stood up and walked around, thinking for a long time how to express what was in his heart, and finally summed it up with the word "strange".
Da Zhuang is younger than Da Ya. When he was only two years old, Grandpa Alin passed away. After that, he only came back once a year to visit Grandpa Alin’s grave. To put it bluntly, he came to Changbai Village as many times as ten fingers. I can count them on my head.
But children, probably because they are too weak, are instinctively very sensitive to the surrounding environment and people.
Even though people in Changbai Village still work in the fields to earn work points, and go hunting in the mountains to collect herbs and fruits in exchange for money, Da Zhuang just feels that the people in Changbai Village are strange.
Not only because Da Zhuang has never seen a village without a single ugly person, but also because the older children have begun to read and read, because their houses are rare in a hundred miles, and because of the conversation between their men and women. manner……
In short, everything seems different from the surrounding environment. If he were older and learned more knowledge, he could probably be described in one word - out of place.
Of course, this is not the point, because everyone has rumors that this Changbai Village is a remnant of the nobles of the previous dynasty, maybe a descendant of the princes and princesses. It is naturally different from ordinary people like them who are eight generations of poor farmers.
But this is their mother's natal family, and their ancestor is still the clan leader. Da Zhuang grew up listening to his ancestor's deeds, and instinctively feels a sense of intimacy with Changbai Village.
But this sense of intimacy disappeared when he became wise.
Because people close to him don't like their family, and can even be said to hate them.
Every year, his mother took him and his sister to visit the graves of the ancestors of the Jin family, grandma and grandpa. Except for Mr. Tong and some other elders, everyone else always ignored them.
Even the elders with a straight face just said a few words to their sister, asked her to kowtow a few times, and then left expressionlessly.
What Da Zhuang felt here was indifference, which hurt his little heart. Moreover, every year he came here, their mother would be sad for a while, which made Da Zhuang resist coming to Changbai Village.
But if he couldn't say it, he couldn't say it, because there was the ancestor he admired the most.
My mother said that if they didn't come, my ancestor, grandma, and grandpa would have no one to worship them, and they would starve underground.
Da Zhuang didn't believe that his sister didn't know this. She was smart before.
But my sister was kind-hearted, and when she heard what my mother said, she just wanted to burn all the delicious food in the house for my grandfather.
At that time, his sister persuaded him, saying that Laozuer was very kind to the two of them. Even if he couldn't come, he would ask Uncle Jianye, who became the captain of the Changbai Brigade, to bring them a lot of delicious and fun things. .
Milk powder is rare, but when the ancestor was still there, they both drank it.
And now my sister is smarter...
Da Zhuang suddenly didn't want to say anything more.
Now my sister is smarter and everything she does is not in vain.
But Yun Shu looked as big as a deflated balloon, and was a little confused. He didn't know that this child was thinking too much, and he told himself that he couldn't raise his heart to struggle.
"Dazhuang, it was before, it is now. My sister has inherited the Jin family's legacy. It's not just as simple as changing her surname to Jin and living in Changbai Village.
If we came to Changbai Village in the past, would there be a lot of food and greetings to welcome guests? Will there be a scene where all the men, women, and children in the village come out to greet us? Will those people who didn't even look at us in the past bow their heads and salute to me? "
There's no need to tell your brother about the mountain guard just yet, as he might not be able to understand. But regarding the change in their status, Yun Shu must make this clear to him.
It's just that the word "Lord" was a bit too sensitive, so Yun Shu changed his title.
"Sister will be the patriarch of the nine major surnames in Changbai Village in the future. Everyone in Changbai Village must obey my sister."
It would be a bit exaggerated to say that life and death are up to her. It's not that it's impossible, but that Yun Shu is not so cruel.
But if the people in Changbai Village continue to disrespect her brother, she, Yun Shuke, is not a soft persimmon.
No matter how they view Yun Shu as the successor to the Lord, whether he is a target or a puppet, whatever they think is impossible to achieve. Whether he is a Lord or a great shaman, Yun Shu will do this. The "throne" is firmly established.
If she just follows what her ancestors have done from generation to generation so that she can do her job as a mountain guard, she doesn't need any "one word" or "golden words". Naturally, she doesn't need everyone to listen to her, sister. So narcissistic.
But now, she has received such a huge benefit from the first generation ancestor of the Jin family, and she is also coveting another big piece of fat. If she doesn't do something practical and accumulate great merit, she may not even have the chance to be a ghost.
She hasn't lived enough yet and doesn't want to be struck by lightning!
"Dazhuang, do you know what a clan leader is? A clan leader is similar to our grandfather's position in the village. Everyone in the village must obey him."
In order to prevent his younger brother from not understanding, Yun Shu explained it. Of course, the captain of the production brigade was not a big official, but the lord of Changbai Village did not have to kneel before the emperor.
However, in Da Zhuang's limited knowledge, his grandfather was already the greatest official he had ever seen, except for his father, the regimental leader.
Da Zhuang's eyes widened, a little unbelievable, but he thought of the blazing fire to welcome guests, the crowds on both sides of the avenue, and the way they were respectful to his sister, and even a group of old people headed by Mr. Tong They all bowed their heads and saluted his sister.
Because of their mother, although their siblings are Manchus, they know nothing about Manchu customs and etiquette, but this does not prevent Da Zhuang from seeing their respect for his sister.
The chest caressing ceremony was a Manchu ritual that was influenced by the Mongols and was used by juniors to their elders and subordinates to their superiors. However, after Huang Taiji was restructured and became emperor, the chest caressing ceremony no longer appeared.
But the ancestors of the mountain guards in Changbai Village were tribesmen selected from the Nurhachi period. It is said that they were not called Manchus at that time, but Jurchens.
Although Huang Taiji was restructured, it had nothing to do with the nine Changbai tribes that guarded the holy mountain, so many ancient things including etiquette were retained.
In fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many outdated things in Changbai Jiubu gradually weakened or even disappeared.
You should know that in the previous dynasty, to perform the chest caressing ceremony for the lord and the lord's heir, one had to kneel down on one knee with the right leg.
Da Zhuang only saw respect, but he didn't know that more people were showing their loyalty.
"Dazhuang, I am the heir to the clan leader, and will be the clan leader in the future. Even if my sister does nothing, it will not be difficult for us to enjoy the blessings. In the future, we will not even need my sister to go hunting in the mountains, and we will be able to live as well as our parents can." On the day of.
These people in Changbai Village will always send us food and meat, and will not let us starve or freeze, just like Uncle Jianye who is as kind to us. Da Zhuang, have you ever wanted to live such a carefree life? "
Yun Shu's voice was unknowingly bewitching, his big eyes began to blur, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had been immersed in the "carefree days" Yun Shu said.
