Chapter 134: Rite of Passage

The territory of the Daqian Dynasty was vast, the land was vast, and the people under its command were hundreds of millions.

Hundreds of years of inheritance have already formed completely different customs for people in many different regions.

Although it was in the land of a hundred battles, before the founding of the Daqian Dynasty, this land had long experienced many regime changes, but the impact of the war on ordinary people was not great.

In the four outer realms, the vast majority of the wars that take place all the time are wars between countries.

Since there has never been a situation of the so-called unification of the world in the four outer regions, no matter how strong or weak any country, its rulers have never experienced the so-called 'comfortable'.

Under the pressure of the surrounding countries, countless Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers continue to emerge in this land like carp crossing the river.

Anyone who is a little smarter will be able to understand that only with sufficient unity within a country can it be able to cope with the extremely complex and changeable external environment.

Therefore, in the land of the four outer regions, the lives of ordinary people in the vast majority of countries are still in the past.

The rise and fall of the state rarely occurs internally, and the emergence of a new regime will also give priority to the pacification of ordinary people.

All these circumstances are intertwined, so that the ordinary people of the four outer regions do not have too much natural fear of war.

At the same time, it also enables the vast majority of clans to always be inherited in this change of dynasty.

The history of many clans can be traced back several dynasties, which is a very common thing in the lands of the Four Outlands.

Naturally, this was the case in the Daqian Dynasty.

In addition to the preservation of many cultures, the most important inheritance of the long history is customs!

Within the confines of the territory, those historic families can be found in various county capitals and even cities.

The customs passed down by these families naturally vary greatly due to regional differences.

Even in some areas with heavy precipitation, there will be different customs in the same city!

The Daqian Dynasty adhered to the attitude of non-intervention and non-restriction of these different customs and inheritance, so the passage of hundreds of years has made countless peculiar customs and various forms coexist in the territory of the dynasty.

However, even in the midst of such chaos, there was still a custom that everyone would abide by in the entire territory of the Great Qian Dynasty.

That's a coming-of-age ceremony.

Both men and women, once they reach the age of eighteen, they can have a coming-of-age ceremony!

According to tradition, only the closest relatives and closest friends attend the coming-of-age ceremony.

Whether it is in a large family or in the homes of ordinary people, the coming-of-age ceremony is a very important ceremony.

As the name suggests, after the coming-of-age ceremony, the children of the family are considered formal adults, and the children of ordinary families can start getting married, while the children of large families will officially separate the family.

According to the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, if you want to join the army, you must also sign up after the coming-of-age ceremony.

In short, it is only when the coming-of-age ceremony is held that one truly has the ability to act independently in the law.

Xia Fan, under the leadership of Yang Wanli, quickly came to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

The place where Yang Han held the coming-of-age ceremony was not large, and the layout was relatively simple, with several long tables placed on the left and right in a courtyard.

At the top, three larger tables are placed side by side.

When Xia Fan followed Yang Wanli to this courtyard, people were already seated in front of the long tables placed on the left and right.

Even in front of the three large tables at the top, there were two people seated.

With the appearance of Yang Wanli, the eyes of everyone in the audience fell on Xia Fan for a while.

Except for Yang Liu's eyes full of resentment, the eyes of the others were full of curiosity.

"You just sit next to Yang Liu, Yang Dong was locked up by me, and I won't let him out tonight, it just so happens that there is a vacant seat next to Yang Liu."

Yang Wanli walked into the courtyard, casually pointed to the vacant seat beside Yang Liu, and after talking to Xia Fan, he walked straight towards the two people sitting above.

Xia Fan immediately felt the gaze from Yang Liu as if he was about to kill, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and walked over slowly.

The eyes of the others in the room were moving with him.

When Xia Fan came to Yang Liu's side, he was about to sit down, but Yang Liu's whisper suddenly came from his ears.

"Xia Fan! If you dare to sit next to me, you're dead! Before I get angry, get out! I don't care where you sit, you can't sit here! ”

Xia Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Yang Liu as he spoke, raised his hand and pressed the movement of the seat in front of him, and grinned.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Yang Liu's wrist, and then secretly luckily lifted Yang Liu's hand directly from the seat, and then Shi Shiran sat down.

It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, this action is very similar to Yang Liu taking the initiative to reach out and help Xia Fan sit down.

For a while, the other people in the room showed a look of sudden realization at the same time.

I finally understood why an outsider suddenly appeared here at Yang Han's coming-of-age ceremony.

Compared with other people's reactions, Yang Liu's face was naturally flushed by Xia Fan's actions, and her chest rose and fell violently, and at the same time she wanted to withdraw her wrist from Xia Fan's hand, but after exerting force twice, she found that her wrist was as if it was clamped by iron tongs, and she couldn't pull it at all.

"Second Miss, your reaction like this is not hospitality. After all, I am the one your father 'personally' invited back, are you sure you really want to keep me from coming off the stage in front of everyone? I don't care, after all, my reputation has long been stinky. But your father's side...... I'm afraid it doesn't make sense. ”

After sitting on the chair, Xia Fan leaned over, leaned over to Yang Liu's ear, and said softly.

Yang Liu, who was still competing with Xia Fan, instantly quieted down after hearing what Xia Fan said.

After his face changed slightly, he glared at Xia Fan fiercely.

Xia Fan let go of Yang Liu's wrist at this time, and then sat up straight with a smile on his face.

Although the content of the communication between the two is not gentle at all, in the eyes of others, it is the kind of whispering that the most normal young couple should have......

"Wanli, who is this kid? Is your little lover of willow? ”

The two people sitting on the main seat naturally also noticed the situation between Xia Fan and Yang Liu, and watched Yang Wanli walk slowly, one of them was relatively burly and quipped.

"No, it's just the young master of a big family in the city."

Yang Wan said expressionlessly, the person had already walked to the middle of the two, and then sat in the empty position between the two.

"The young master of the big family?"

The burly man was slightly stunned, and then looked at Yang Wanli, who was already sitting beside him, with a strange expression.

"Although I didn't have much contact with him, I know for sure that this is a very unusual young man."

Yang Wanli's evaluation made the faces of the two people on the main seat stiffen at the same time, and the burly man immediately subconsciously looked around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention here, he lowered his voice and asked, "What did you choose for Ning Yatou?" ”

The other pricked up his ears, and his face also showed a look of extreme curiosity.

Yang Wanli didn't answer, just nodded silently.

The faces of the two changed immediately, and then they turned their heads to look at Xia Fan in unison, but their eyes were completely different from just now.
