Chapter 2 The Ceremony of Lighting the Stars
Su Zhongkuan said some encouraging words and then announced that today's morning exercise was over, and when Su Tongsheng was about to turn around and leave, Su Chen on the side came over and shouted, "Sixth." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Su Tongsheng ranked sixth in Sujiazhuang's generation, so the brothers older than him all called him the sixth brother. Su Tongsheng stopped, looked at Su Chen and asked, "Fifth brother, is there something wrong?" ”
Su Chen looked at Su Tongsheng and stopped talking, he lowered his head and said with a low expression: "Sixth, are you sure about this star lighting ceremony?" ”
Su Tongsheng smiled bitterly: "You don't know about this kind of thing, Fifth Brother, how can you say that you are sure of it, it all depends on luck." "The two of them are of the same age, and Dianxing's experience is the same, so the relationship on weekdays is not bad.
"yes." Su Chen nodded, "To be honest, I don't have a bottom in my heart this time, I'm ready to help my father run errands and find something to do once the star fails." ”
Generally speaking, if the first star-pointing ceremony cannot be successful, the probability of the second success will not be high. Therefore, after the first failure, Su Chen's self-confidence was extremely low, so he put most of his energy on finding other ways out.
Su Tongsheng didn't have any envy in his heart, but he said: "You still have a way, if I fail, I really don't know what to do." ”
The two chatted for a while before going home. The matter of the star-dotting ceremony smashed into the calm lake of Sujiazhuang like a stone, setting off a wave of waves.
In a small courtyard, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl gritted her teeth and knelt in front of a middle-aged man, looking at each other with a stubborn face.
The middle-aged man's face was full of embarrassment, and he said in a complicated tone: "You really want to participate in this star-pointing ceremony so much?" This middle-aged man's surname is Ye Minghu, and he is a foreign steward in Sujiazhuang, and the girl in front of him is his daughter Ye Lin'er.
As a person with a foreign surname, it is not easy for Ye Hu to sit in a steward position in Sujiazhuang, he is very clear about the rules of the Su family, it is impossible for the daughters of the Su family to have the opportunity to participate in the star ceremony, after all, these girls are going to get married, and it is impossible for the clan to spend resources to cultivate talents for other families.
I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, his daughter was able to point the star on her own, you must know that before his daughter, Su Mang of the Su family lit up two stars one after another only two years after the success of the star pointing, from three stars to four stars is a hurdle, not only a star problem, but also a physical fitness problem, and Su Mang was in the first stage of development during that time, and after the nourishment of star power, his physical fitness was greatly improved, and then he successfully lit up the fourth star through the first star pointing ceremony.
In the following years, he lit up two more stars, and now he is already a six-star martial artist, and there are less than ten people in the entire Su family who are stronger than him, and he is already a well-deserved first person among the younger generation in Xinze Township.
His daughter has the opportunity to become the second Su Mang, which is naturally happy to Ye Hu, but what makes him helpless is that he has no ability to let his daughter participate in the star ceremony, fortunately he is not a member of the Su family, which gives him a glimmer of hope, that is, let his daughter marry into the Su family.
After the people of Sujiazhuang knew about Ye Lin'er, they naturally proposed to marry, and all those who had sons of the same age in the family came to the door to express their intention to marry, but his daughter was arrogant, and no one except Su Mang was willing to marry, but Su Mang was even more arrogant, and he had no intention of marrying his daughter at all.
For this matter, Ye Hu was not less angry in the clan, for the happiness of his daughter was one thing, but he also felt that his daughter was so good, who in the Su family could be worthy of her except Su Mang.
"Lin'er, you have to think clearly, if you want to participate in the star ceremony, you must find a child of the Su family to marry, Su Mang will not marry you, do you have anyone else you like?"
Ye Lin'er's eyes kept rolling with tears, but she was strong enough not to let the tears fall: "My daughter won't embarrass my father, Brother Su Mang's ambitions are high, and his mind is not in the Su family at all, so it's normal to look down on a country girl like her daughter." ”
Ye Hu saw that his daughter was so self-conscious, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, and hated that he was useless and couldn't fight too much for his daughter: "Lin'er doesn't have to be arrogant, Su Mang doesn't want to marry you, that's because he is blind, are you so good Are you afraid that no one will marry, I think the old seven and eight are good, and now the two of them have lit up two stars, and they are also outstanding in this generation." ”
"Nope! Since the daughter can't marry Brother Su Mang, then the daughter has to be her own master, and the daughter has to marry someone who has never been a star in the Su family. ”
Ye Hu was taken aback when he heard this, but when he saw his daughter's resolute appearance, he knew that she had made up her mind, and Ye Hu regretted it even more in his heart: "Why do you bother, isn't the seventh and eighth of the Su family very good, why should you!" ”
"Daddy doesn't need to say it anymore, my daughter has made up her mind and won't change it anymore, and I ask Daddy to forgive my daughter's willfulness."
How could Ye Hu blame Ye Lin'er, he felt guilty in his heart, he felt that he owed his daughter too much, since his daughter had made up her mind, then he, as a father, would help her daughter even if she showed this face this time.
Ye Hu had made up his mind, so he said: "If this is the case, then only the fifth Su Chen and the sixth Su Tongsheng are left in the Su family who meet your standards." However, the two of them will also participate in the star-dotting ceremony this time, and it is unknown whether they can succeed or not. ”
Ye Lin'er shook her head: "Those who fail in the first star pointing ceremony have little chance of succeeding the second time, and it would be good if one of these people succeeded." Since her daughter wants to be her own master, she must do it thoroughly, although Su Chen can't do it, but his father is a four-star martial artist, and he will not be his daughter's choice. ”
"Then it's the sixth child, his father died in a hunting war a few years ago, and his mother also followed, and now he is left alone......"
"Yes, if Su Tongsheng doesn't succeed this time, then his daughter will marry him!"
---------------------------------
Su Tongsheng, who returned home, didn't know that if he failed this time, he would have an extra daughter-in-law, and this daughter-in-law was still a woman with a heart.
At this time, his mind was focused on the star ceremony, and he usually tried his best to perceive the fluctuations of star power, and as the days passed, Su Tongsheng became more and more irritable, and his heart was even more dazed.
Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Su Tongsheng, who is in an irritable mood, can only resign himself to fate. On this day, all the children who participated in the star-dotting ceremony came to the martial arts training ground early, and because it was still early, these children gathered together in twos and threes to chat.
Su Chen and Su Tongsheng, the two eldest of the grades, were also chatting on the side, but compared to the optimism of the other children, both of them were in a very heavy mood.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, and the two turned to look and saw two figures, a man and a woman. The man is like a long sword out of the sheath, the edge is exposed, especially the eagle eyebrows show his temperament, facing the admiring eyes of a group of peers around him, respectful greetings, he nodded arrogantly, and responded lightly.
And although the girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, her appearance has grown, anyone can see her alluring appearance, and what is even more rare is that the trace of heroism revealed between the girl's eyebrows makes her have a unique temperament.
As soon as the girl appeared, she was surrounded by people, and they were "Sister Lin'er" one by one, and they continued to offer her courtesy.
Su Tongsheng's eyes also showed a hint of admiration, and he also wanted to step forward and stand in front of her like everyone else, but in the end he didn't have the courage to take that step.
Su Chen recognized these two people at a glance as Su Mang and Ye Lin'er, who were famous in Sujiazhuang, and seeing the two of them appear in this kind of place, Su Chen couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Today, all the people gathered here are preparing to participate in the star-dotting ceremony, what are they doing here?
Then he was a little abrupt: "It seems that the guide of this star-pointing ceremony is the fourth." The fourth child in his mouth refers to Su Mang, for this person who is not much older than them, to achieve such a great achievement, the envy and jealousy in Su Chen's heart are naturally indispensable.
Su Tongsheng saw Su Mang's appearance of giving up on me, and he was also envious in his heart, he longed for the day when he could be as proud as Su Mang, if there was a moment, he could confidently stand in front of Ye Lin'er and tell her loudly that he liked her!
The star attraction array used by the Su family for the star lighting ceremony is not very advanced, so one person is needed to attract star power, so that other people in the array can feel the feeling of star power coming, so as to light up the stars.
As long as someone can light up the stars, then this influence will expand, and for people like Su Mang, who are already in the sixth star, there is a great chance to break through the bottleneck and then light up the seventh star. Several elders in the clan broke through the six-star and became high-level martial artists in this way.
"Then what is Ye Lin'er doing here?"
"Could it be that you can't participate in the star-dotting ceremony? But isn't the woman of the Su family unable to participate in the star-pointing ceremony? "Many people wondered, but they didn't show it.
Maybe that's what a genius treats.
