It's just that he thought that this thing had become a thing of the past. He never expected that there would still be such a huge crowd in the 1990s.
Later generations' evaluations of this Ge Lao Hui can be regarded as mixed.
As for the origin of Gelaohui, we can even start talking about it from the time when Huguang reclaimed Sichuan.
This is a group of organizations formed entirely by people from the lower class. Due to its loose structure and a mixture of good and bad, the people inside are both good and evil, and they can be divided into Qingshui Pao Brother and Zhuoshui Pao Brother.
For example, Jiang Siwu's group at the Lucheng Pier was Brother Qingshui Pao, and the helmsman was the old man Jiang Siwu, who also led others to fight against Chiang Kai-shek.
According to Jiang Hao, when his grandfather was young, let alone in Lucheng, when he met the robe brothers from various docks in Sichuan Province, they had to give a thumbs up and call him Uncle Jiang.
It's just that in the past few decades, the so-called Ge Lao Association has actually existed in name only. The generation back then was dying and getting old. In today's peaceful and prosperous age, where can the Pao Ge people come from?
Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and there are also many people who form gangs under the original banner.
For example, the Fang family on Shancheng Pier are such people.
…
Mountain city.
Chu Tianyao, Jiang Hao, and Jiang Xiongxian arrived after several hours of driving.
Jiang Xiongxian, Jiang Hao's second uncle, was personally sent by Mr. Jiang to accompany Chu Tianyao.
As for Jiang Hao, he shamelessly followed him. Jiang Xiong had no choice but to agree to it.
"Brother Yao, don't worry. Since my grandfather has spoken, Fang Chongxin doesn't dare to let him go."
Seemingly confident in his grandfather's words, Jiang Hao patted his chest and said to Chu Tianyao.
Not long after, the group of three arrived at the extremely famous Chaotianmen Pier in Shancheng City.
After some inquiring, they rushed to Fang's house not far from the pier.
In front of the three people is a house with the architectural characteristics of the Republic of China.
Outside the Fang family's mansion, there were actually two people looking after the house.
"The Fang family's mansion, please stop visiting."
The two people looking after the house spoke Sichuan dialect with the characteristics of a mountain city, and immediately stopped Chu Tianyao and the others who came to knock on the door.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiong took a step forward slowly, put his left hand on his arm, and gave a thumbs up with his right hand.
Seeing this action, the two gatekeepers quickly made the same gesture.
"May I ask my brother what your last name is?"
Jiang Xiong glanced at the two of them first, and said in Sichuan dialect: "My brother's surname is Jiang, and the grass character is Xiongxian. The courtesy name of Lucheng Wharf is Yaoda. Come to Shancheng Wharf to pay my respects to Mr. Fang."
As soon as Jiang Xiong said these words, the two gatekeepers were shocked.
"It turns out to be the eldest brother of the Jiang family at Lucheng Wharf, please be patient!"
While talking, the two of them quickly ran towards the house.
At this time, Jiang Hao looked at the confused Chu Tianyao and explained with a smile: "This is called an incision, which is a slang term you often say. It is mainly used to verify whether the other party is a real brother or a hole."
The loopholes Jiang Hao refers to are those who pretend to be Brother Pao.
"From the looks of them, your second uncle seems to be very powerful?"
Chu Tianyao asked softly.
Jiang Hao smiled proudly.
"That's... the Fang family's banner is courtesy, and my grandfather's is righteousness. Now the Fang family's helmsman is a generation younger than my grandfather."
Just as Jiang Hao was talking, the two people behind the house door immediately left and came back again.
"The helmsman has spoken and invited the eldest brother of the Jiang family to come in for tea!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they separated to two sides and bowed slightly to signal Jiang Xiong to enter first.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Xiong first took a look at Chu Tianyao and Jiang Hao beside him, and immediately strode in.
He is not worried about what Fang Chongxin will do to him. After all, there is a friendship between the two families. Mr. Jiang saved the life of the old man of the Fang family on the battlefield, and the two became brothers. Even if Fang Chongxin took the courage of a leopard,
Don't dare to break the rules.
Not long after, I entered the Fang family's courtyard.
Chu Tianyao was also secretly surprised. This house was much larger than he had imagined, and it seemed that many people lived there.
The atrium of the house is the front hall for receiving guests.
When Chu Tianyao and the others appeared, dozens of people were already standing outside the front hall, standing on both sides, as if they were lined up to welcome the three of them.
It was also the first time for Jiang Hao to see this battle, and he felt a little guilty.
Jiang Xiongxian, on the other hand, had an ordinary look on his face and walked in head-on.
"Brother Jiang family please come to visit us!"
In front of the front hall door, a unit master shouted.
The so-called Yaoshi was the name that people in Sichuan Province used to call teahouse waiters. Later, it was used in Ge Lao Hui and became a position.
At this time, Chu Tianyao followed Jiang Xiong into the hall.
In the middle of the hall, there is a square table that is more than ten meters long, and on the table are dozens of covered tea cups.
On one side of the hall, there is a sculpture of Guan Er Ye.
And right at the head of the rectangular table stood a middle-aged man wearing black silk clothes.
Presumably, this person is Fang Chongxin.
Behind Fang Chongxin, there were dozens of people standing one after another. These people were also the stewards of the hall.
At this time, just after the three of them entered the hall, Fang Chongxin's eyes immediately locked on Jiang Xiongxian, waved his hand and said directly:
"There is a treasure to offer, but there is no treasure to be tested."
The other party is making an incision.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiong first smiled slightly and said:
"Together we support the Han Dynasty, and it will bring prosperity."
Fang Chongxin said again: "Gongpian Baozha, please take the talisman!"
"Golden signboard, silver signboard, little brother and elder brother are sending treasures. After my dear brother got the treasure today, he will be promoted step by step and sit eight lifts!"
"Oh? I wonder where Brother Jiang will sit at the Lucheng Pier?"
"The meaning of Lucheng Wharf is so great!"
As soon as Jiang Xiongxian said these words, Fang Chongxin's expression suddenly changed. He crossed his hands in front of his chest and raised his thumbs.
In the paoge industry, this gesture is naturally a sign of respect for others.
And Jiang Xiongxian also made the same gesture.
"Since we are brothers from the Jiang family, please take a seat!"
Fang Chongxin extended his hand to signal, Jiang Xiong also nodded to Chu Tianyao and Jiang Hao, and the three of them sat down at the table.
"I've heard about the "righteousness" banner at Lucheng Wharf for a long time. My father often mentioned Mr. Jiang to me back then. I wonder if Mr. Jiang is in good health?
Fang Chongxin looked enthusiastic and asked with a smile.
After all, Mr. Jiang saved his father's life back then, and the two of them were considered brothers, so this time when the Jiang family came, Fang Chongxin naturally had to treat him politely.
"The old man is in good health, and Brother Lao Fang is thinking about it!"
Jiang Xiong responded first.
Fang Chongxin nodded when he heard this, but then he caught a glimpse of Jiang Hao and Chu Tianyao who were following Jiang Xiongxian, with some doubts in their eyes.
"I wonder what important matters Brother Jiang has when he comes to Shancheng this time?"
Hearing Fang Chongxin's question, Jiang Xiongxian said slowly: "It's not a big deal, I'm just being entrusted by someone. I'd like to ask Brother Fang to be kind to me."
Jiang Xiong finished speaking first and then glanced at Chu Tianyao.
Immediately, Chu Tianyao stood up, cupped his hands towards Fang Chongxin, and stated the purpose of his group.
