……

In a restaurant in the outer city, Liu Ce, Zhang Lie, Lu Yu, Sun Biao, and Ma Guocheng sat in the private room on the second floor and drank to their heart's content.

"Ashamed, ashamed, it's all Lu Mou, who doesn't know Taishan with eyes, and collided with the hero of the bloody battle against Hunu, Lu Mou punished himself with three bowls to compensate for not ......"

I saw Lu Yu facing Sun Biao and Ma Guocheng, who were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, holding a wine bowl and doing three bowls in a row, and a few people who watched couldn't help but praise it.

"Good!" Without waiting for Sun Biao and Ma Guocheng to speak, Zhang Lie couldn't help but yell, "The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, Brother Lu, come!" I, Zhang Lie, borrow the general's wine to toast you with a bowl, dry! ”

After that, Zhang Lie also raised his neck and drank all the wine in the bowl, which attracted Lu Yu's sideways eyes.

Liu Ce took a sip of his wine glass, quietly looked at Lu Yu and Zhang Lie and said secretly: "One makes a snake spear, the other dances a big knife, Zhang Fei Guan Yu?" Hehe, interesting, it's a pity that I'm not Liu Bei, but these two people are extremely brave, and over time, they may be unique in my Jingwei camp. ”

Sun Biao and Lu Yu also touched a bowl of wine, and then asked: "Brother Lu, I'm curious, why did you go to Yuanzhou to join the army?" ”

When Lu Yu heard this, he sighed and said: "Don't hide it from you, a certain colonel is a small colonel in the border army of Dingzhou, just because his boss deducted military salaries, and he didn't pay salaries for several months and had no food, so he found all the theories.

I didn't want the boss to not only ignore a certain request, but also send someone to harm a certain person, and in a certain anger, he knocked down forty or fifty people in a row and escaped.

Then he went out for several years to survive, until last year he heard that the general beheaded 20,000 Hu Nu, shocking the countryside, so he planned to use this martial arts to serve the general, but he didn't want to provoke these incidents, ashamed, alas......"

Zhang Lie also sighed after hearing this: "I'm almost the same, my father gave these dog officials a lifetime of iron before his death, but I don't want to owe a bunch of debts to the blacksmith department, but the poor last money for treatment was borrowed by the Mu family, and I didn't even have the money for burial when I died, if it wasn't for the general's rescue today, I'm afraid I would have to stay in the Mu family as a slave for the rest of my life." ”

Everyone was also embarrassed when they heard the words, but now that everyone is under the command of a general, they will be comrades in the future, and there is no need to rest assured about the previous grievances, not to mention that the general can receive these two brave soldiers and also make the Jingwei battalion like a tiger, and he is also very happy.

"Everyone, you go on, General Ben has already advanced the money on the counter, you just have to have fun, after eating Sun Biao, you take Zhang Lie and Lu Yu to change into suitable clothes, my Liu Ce's soldiers don't have to be showy, but they must not make people feel shabby."

I saw that Liu Ce suddenly got up and toasted a glass of wine to the other four people, and after finishing the instructions, he took his leave and walked outside the restaurant......

On the street, Liu Ce walked towards the inner city worriedly, still thinking about how to raise silver.

"Why don't you take Jiang Ruoyan's silver ticket for a while? It's not that you don't pay it back......"

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but move the idea of the box of silver tickets, since people are helping each other as a gift from friends, it really can't be justified if you don't accept it, so it's more natural.

In a few moments, he had already arrived at the gate of the Governor's Palace, and was just about to raise his steps up the steps but hesitated.

"How do you deal with her when you see her?" Liu Ce raised his foot and retracted it, "I can still be afraid of the army, how can I ...... Forget it, let's go somewhere else first......"

Thinking of this, Liu Ce turned around and walked aimlessly towards other places, deciding to avoid Jiang Ruoyan for the time being, so as not to be too embarrassed.

……

"Yunqin Yuan? What is this place? ”

At the gate of a simple and elegant garden, Liu Ce stopped, looking at the three big words on the plaque full of question marks, but saw that there were many people around, as if waiting to participate in some major ceremony.

Liu Ce thought for a moment, anyway, thinking about it now will only increase his troubles, so he simply followed into the garden, and he hasn't calmed down and rested for a day after coming to this world for two years, so it's better to relax, maybe there is a way?

Walking through a forest of purple and red flowers, on the way, a pair of children or holding delicate paper umbrellas to block the sun, or shaking folding fans gracefully, some single and unmarried women under the leadership of their parents holding a fan to cover half of their pretty faces, shyly walking forward.

In order to avoid the troubles caused by the hair on his head, Liu Ce deliberately brought a black hat to block the hair, which avoided being so eye-catching in the past.

After passing through the flower forest, what you see is a solemn scene.

"That's ......" Liu Ce's eyes narrowed slightly, "Guanli?" And the ceremony? ”

But in front of a tall saint statue, nearly 100 girls who have reached the age of Lu Fang are kneeling and bowing to the bronze statue, and in front of the bronze statue is a group of young men of the scholar family who are also kneeling together, and they have also reached the age of coming-of-age ceremony.

Under the bronze statue, a radiant gentleman reads the admonition to the kneeling men and women about the matters to be paid attention to after the coming-of-age ceremony, showing an extra dignified atmosphere.

The surrounding crowd was also unusually quiet, standing in place and quietly waiting for the end of the coming-of-age ceremony.

Finally, the ceremony is over, and the young men and women in front of the bronze statue get up and return to their parents and elders, and then they lead them to the flower forest, where they have prepared a place to hold a coming-of-age ceremony.

Liu Ce watched them leave under the leadership of their parents and elders, and sighed: "It's a little different from the details I knew in my previous life, but it doesn't hurt......" He also followed and wanted to continue to see how to perform this coming-of-age ceremony.

On the lawn of the flower forest, a pair of young girls fell on their knees on the cushions prepared on the ground, facing their elders, and after the salute, their mother would put hairpins for them......

The crown ceremony is more dignified and solemn, after all, the status of men in this world is higher than that of women, I saw that a group of brightly dressed young men who had just passed the age of fifteen or sixteen sat on the ground, accepting the blessings and expectations of the elders in front of them......

"Ying'er, you will really grow up from today, and you will have to take on the responsibilities that a man should have in the future."

"Thank you for your father's nurturing grace over the years, and you will abide by the family rules and follow the teachings......"

In a flower forest, a young man who had just finished the crown ceremony bowed deeply to his parents, and the two Gao Tang looked at their sons and smiled with satisfaction.

"Go and meet your mother, presumably Qian'er's ceremony should be over......"

"The child is gone......

Liu Ce silently watched all this in front of him in a corner alone, with a strange flow in his eyes, this situation made him feel very warm.

"Keep up the good work......"

With a sigh of relief in his heart, Liu Ce turned around and walked outside Yunqin Garden, he still had a lot to do, even if it was to protect the scene in front of him.

"The Central Plains woman is really beautiful, she didn't come in vain this time, hahaha......"

As soon as he turned around, Liu Ce heard a discordant nonsense not far away, and his brows suddenly tightened, and his eyes became extremely cold.

But not far away, I saw a group of aliens dressed in bearded fur clothes, pointing at the girl who was bleeding or had just finished the ceremony, and his eyes were full of greedy and murderous eyes.

"Look at those boys, all of them have fine skin and tender flesh like a girl, how can we have the warriors of our Mengluo Empire strong, no wonder we kill every time there is no piece of armor!"

The other Hu people looked at the young man who was saluting and spoke wildly, with a look of disdain.

At this time, a Hu man asked, "What do you say these men and women are doing?" I've long heard that the Central Plains has a complicated number of etiquette, so it shouldn't be some messy etiquette, right? ”

"That's called a coming-of-age ceremony!" A Hu man who seemed to have studied the Great Zhou Dynasty quite a bit said, "Men and women in the Central Plains will perform this ceremony when they are fifteen to twenty years old to show that they have grown up. ”

"Cut ......," a Hu man said disdainfully, "just tie a hairpin like this, and wear a crown is called a coming-of-age ceremony?" Far less bold than our prairie men and women,

I think that on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony of my prairie man, he needs to hunt a wild boar or a blue wolf in the hunting grounds, and the woman dedicates herself to the tribe's favorite warrior on the day to show her adult sign, which is much stronger than these useless red tape! ”

When the rest of the Hu people heard this, they immediately echoed and agreed.

Suddenly, one of the bearded men said, "Why don't you let these women experience what a real coming-of-age ceremony is?" Also let that group of sons open their eyes? ”

"Don't come nonsense!" A leader-like Hu man shouted, "We are ordered by the Holy Emperor to send an envoy to the Far East to discuss the affairs of Jizhou with Jiang Xun, and don't make any more extraneous branches at this time!" ”

"Your Excellency, Envoy!" The Hu man who proposed said with a little reluctance, "What are you worried about? The warriors finally came to the Central Plains, and they should be happy, and besides, I, Emperor Monroe, will enter the Central Plains sooner or later, so what's wrong with enjoying my spoils in advance? ”

Some other Hu people also said: "Yes, my lord, I have traveled all the way, and I finally arrived in this world of flowers, so let the warriors indulge, are you still afraid that this group of sheep will not be able to retaliate?" What's there to be afraid of? ”

The envoy Hu Nu saw that his subordinates around him were saying this, and he also began to ponder, to be honest, he was extremely unwilling to make some unpleasant things at this time, so as not to affect the negotiation process.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible, at this time, you can show your strength by getting off the horse, and maybe you can also have the effect of knocking Jiang Xun on the mountain and shaking the tiger.

In the end, he still compromised: "Don't make too much trouble, it's almost enough, go and go back quickly!" ”

"Don't worry, Envoy!" Seeing that they were allowed, these Hu people immediately looked excitedly at the place of etiquette, and glanced at the man at the crown ceremony provocatively......

"Qian'er, have you finished your salute?"

"Well, Brother Ying, are you okay?"

In a flower forest, the young man who has just finished the crown ceremony is meeting with his childhood sweetheart girl at the ceremony.

The girl was like a hibiscus, looking at the elegant son in front of her shyly, and the eyes of the two were full of affection.

"Miss, are you thinking about Captain Liu when you look so fascinated?"

In another small pavilion on each floor, Jiang Ruoyan and Wan'er sat at the stone table, looking at the scene of the coming-of-age ceremony with a lot of thoughts.

"I hope that one day, I can go on a walk with him here or in the peach forest in the south of the Yangtze River, he can hold an umbrella for me to shield me from the sun, and I can dance for him in the rain......

Looking at the people in and out of Yunqin Garden, Jiang Ruoyan was very eager for the first time that he and his sweetheart could join them without worry.

When I woke up early this morning, I recalled that I had made such a bold move towards Liu Ce yesterday, and I was also very shy, and I didn't dare to see Liu Ce all morning, and I didn't know how to face it.

Just when she mustered up the courage to decide that she still wanted to show her affection to Liu Ce, she was told that he would go out as soon as it was dawn, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, so she came to this Yunqin Garden to relax.

"Get out of the way!"

At this moment, several Hu people rudely broke into the scene of the coming-of-age ceremony, causing Jiang Ruoyan to frown and a layer of frost on her face.

She immediately got up and was slightly angry: "What a big boldness, where did Hu Nu dare to ruin the coming-of-age ceremony?" What presumptuous! ”
