"Kwai is red, hosta scratches its head, crape myrtle soaks the moon, hibiscus is glorious, knotweed is red, and rhombic flowers are real. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The fisherwoman picking lotus in the distance sang "Flower Moon Order" softly and slowly. Zige leaned on the side of the boat, smiling and picking water chestnuts, she wore a crimson pomegranate skirt today, lining her white and red skin, which looked fresh and refined, and was naturally carved. Xie Miao wore a hat on his head, supported the boat, and fluttered in white, not like a fisherman fishing alone in the cold river and snow, but like a hermit picking chrysanthemums under the east fence.

In the blink of an eye, the scorching summer of July covered the land, and the crowded music shop became more and more hot. The weather is extremely hot these days, children walking barefoot on the road will scream that the slate is hot, and the mother often feels tired and has no appetite, Zige is filial, so he pulls Xie Miao out to pick some water chestnuts and stew some porridge for his mother to appetize.

"That's almost it, the rhombic flowers on this Pujia Continent are about to be pulled out by you." Seeing that Zige was happy, Xie Miao slowly reminded, "It's okay to come back another day." ”

Since he was a child, he has always held this attitude of being at ease and unhappy, Zige always laughed at him for being young and old, but he was still doing his own thing, babbling, and he often followed Zige's temperament. Two people with completely different personalities get along plainly and harmoniously, except for songs and songs, the two rarely quarrel.

The boat slowly sailed into a lotus leaf, startling a shoal of gulls and herons. Zige playfully plucked a leaf, and when the hat was put on his head to shade the sun, he put the peng, sat down opposite Zige, and made a wreath of rattan with the rattan he picked casually.

"You taste it, it tastes quite sweet." Zige broke open the crispy and fleshy water chestnut and handed it to him, he took a small bite and showed a faint smile.

"It's hot, be careful not to get heat stroke." He leaned forward and gently wiped the corners of Zige's forehead with a handkerchief, his expression was focused, the sun was scorching, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his fair skin, but he ignored it.

In the past few years, Xie Miao has grown taller and taller, and his cheeks have become angular, looking extremely handsome, and the sisters in the music room will be shy and avoid him when they see him, but Zige seems to have always regarded him as a close friend, and he has no sense of proportion when he gets along with him on weekdays.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself." Zige snatched the handkerchief and wiped his face indiscriminately, and the faint incense on the handkerchief remained on his body.

"In a few days...... I'm twenty. He looked at Zige, as if he wanted to say something.

"Well, I remember." The matter of the crown ceremony, Xie Miao has mentioned it a long time ago. Zige originally wanted to compose a song for him as a gift, but she was distracted to take care of her mother during these days, and the song was not written for a long time, so she was a little weak-hearted, so she had to bow her head and play with the handkerchief silently. This rough thing is her first work when she was a girl with her mother, embroidered her favorite jasmine on the square silk with white thread, because of lack of patience, the stitches were handled very poorly, Zige wanted to throw it away, but Xie Miao picked it up, saying that he was just missing a sweat towel.

"The crown ceremony is held in the ancestral hall outside the city, and I have to follow my father to greet the guests, so I won't accompany you." He paused, half-teasingly, and asked, "Can you find your way yourself?" ”

Zige glanced at him, "What's so difficult about this, I'm not a child, just ride my aunt's horse." ”

"Be careful on the road." He smiled dumbly, perhaps remembering Zige's embarrassment related to horseback riding. She has always been playful, and has secretly ridden a horse to the private school to find him several times, and the experience of "the horse stumbling on the road" is common, and later under the guidance of Uncle Xie, her equestrian skills have gradually improved, but Xie Miao still often makes fun of this.

Zige didn't bother to argue with him, leaned back, leaned comfortably on the side of the boat, and squinted her eyes, the lotus leaf just happened to cover her from the scorching sun. The cool breeze brought up her tiredness of the past few days, and she fell asleep.

Xie Miao looked at her sleeping face with a gentle expression, and put the braided wreath in her hand. Her hand was soft and small, and he couldn't help but hold it nostalgically, unwilling to let go.

"The one who crowns him, or marries a wife and sues the temple, or does the will of the Quartet." He whispered, "You...... How do you want me to be good? ”

Zige seemed to have dreamed of something unstable, and muttered a few times, but his breathing was still steady.

"Silly girl, when are you going to grow up?"

Xie Miao relaxed his hand and looked into the distance, his expression inexplicably melancholy.

Qi follows the weekly ceremony, and the man is twenty and crowned, which is called an adult. The rules are complicated, and the rituals are exquisite. First, the divination by the Xiao people will get an auspicious day, and then notify the guests to go to watch the ceremony. Three days ago, Xie Miao sent the invitation to his mother and invited the two to watch the ceremony. The mother was unwell and couldn't withstand the bumps, so she could only send the gift to the song.

"Xiang Miao'er for me...... No, congratulations to Yuanqing. Before going out, my mother suddenly said loudly. Zige turned around and saw her looking thoughtfully at the wreath that had begun to wither on the table, and the paper bird pressed against the invitation.

Zige remembered that after the cruise came back that day, Xie Miao seemed to have something on his mind, and left in a hurry after sending her back to the music shop, he had been busy preparing for the past few days, and he didn't have time to see her again.

Yuanqing ......

After giving the words, the scholar will really become an adult......

The crown, marry a wife and sue the temple, and travel in all directions.

Zige was suddenly a little sad.

Between the two, will they never be able to return to the carefree days of childhood?

Outside the Xie Clan Temple is a lush bamboo forest, where Zige and Xie Miao hunted cicadas and butterflies when they were children. She stopped halfway through and asked a few times, so she was late.

The temple was already crowded with people, and Uncle Xie was friendly with many families in the city because of his private school. Zige saw Zhao Gongzi who was smiling happily in the crowd, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked inside, avoiding the opportunity to meet him.

As soon as they were seated at the table, the crowd gradually quieted down. Zige raised his head and happened to see Xie Miao, who was dressed in clothes, walking out with long hair. She hadn't seen him for a few days, and she missed his warm smile and quiet company.

Xie Miao's hair was black and smooth, and she was often teased for being "better than a woman", but at this time, it was neatly taken care of by the praiser, tied with silk, and scattered behind her obediently. On weekdays, Xie Miao always keeps himself neat and tidy, and even when he wakes up in the morning when Zige recklessly breaks into the door and wakes up, he will quickly tidy it up, and he is called "well-dressed". At this moment, with his hair scattered, he had a straight face, so that Zige also accepted the heart of jokes, and sat upright and waited for the ceremony to begin.

The crown ceremony is divided into three crown ceremonies and a liguan ceremony, the first ceremony, and the second reward for guests. The three priests each hold a wooden case, standing on the first, second, and third floors of the hall steps, and the case is successively placed with a cloth crown, a leather cloth, and a knight, which is crowned by the head of the family. After Uncle Xie solemnly cleaned his hands, he took the cloth crown and walked to Xie Miao.

"On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian dollar is served. Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. ”

Xu was excited, his voice was a little hoarse, and he gently put the cloth crown on his son's head, and the praiser on the side immediately stepped forward and tied the crown for Xie Miao.

Xie Miao knelt on the seat, raised his hand to increase his forehead, bowed respectfully, bowed to his father, and then knelt down and bowed again.

Then he got up and went into the room, changed into his robes, and bowed to all the guests. Zige hid in the crowd, staring at him silently, his gaze stayed on Zige's face for a moment, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and then turned away.

After adding the cloth crown, and then adding the leather cloth, Uncle Xie saluted and said: "The auspicious moon is the birthday, and it is a Shen'er service." Respect for the majesty, the grace of the soot. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. ”

Xie Miao said goodbye, then went back to the room to change clothes, and added Jue Ben for the third time.

"With the right of the year, with the order of the month, the salty gar is served. Brothers are there, in order to become a virtue. The astragalus is boundless, and it is celebrated by the sky. ”

Xu was drinking a little too much ale, Zige felt a little dizzy, and Xie Miao's back in front of him turned into another figure in a dark robe.

"Sonchenzhen, thank your father Emperor Longen."

The man was tall and bright. The subjects in the audience all stared at him with bated breath.

"Brother Zhen......"

Zige muttered inexplicably, a faint sense of loss welling up in his heart. Everyone around her looked back at her strangely, and she came back to her senses in embarrassment and drank the ale from her glass.

The Three Crowns Ceremony was followed by the Liguan Ceremony, at which Xie Miao toasted his father and guests. Zige saw that he was very busy, so he excused himself and left first.

Brothers are there, in order to become a virtue. The astragalus is boundless, and it is celebrated by the sky.

Zige spurred the horse and galloped away, but the heroic back always lingered in his mind.
