Xia Houlan has studied Legalist culture since she was a child, and various etiquettes are naturally handy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was originally a vacant lot in the depths of the bamboo forest in the back mountain, and Xiahou Lan tidied it up a little and quickly arranged the things used in the ceremony. Helplessly, there was a shortage of materials on the mountain, so Xia Houlan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and engaged in a mountain version of the worship ceremony.

A row of incense candles has been lit on the incense table made of logs, and various mountain delicacies such as bison and sheep are placed around as sacrifices.

Tong Yuan is not good at calculating the auspicious time of a good day, but fortunately, there is Hua Tuo, a "half-immortal", and he understands a little bit about it, so he and Xiahoulan calculated the auspicious time.

The time has come, and Tong Yuan announced loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived." ”

Jiang Sheng opened the corners of his skirt and knelt down in front of the incense case, Zhao Yun knelt on the left side, and Xiahou Lan knelt on the right side. Tong Yuan lit incense candles and gave them to Jiang, Zhao, and Xiahou respectively.

Jiang Sheng held incense in both hands, and took the lead in a loud voice: "Huang Tian is above, although Jiang Sheng (Zhao Yun) (Xiahou Lan) has a different surname, he is like-minded, and he is like each other, and now he is a brother, life and death are trusted, good fortune and evil are rescued, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and hardship is supported by each other, heaven and earth are the witness, mountains and rivers are the oath, if you are ungrateful and ungrateful, heaven and man will kill together!" ”

After the three of them finished taking the oath, they inserted the incense candles in their hands into the incense burner on the incense table in turn according to the order of Jiang Sheng, Zhao Yun, and Xia Houlan.

Then the three of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed to each other, and only after kowtowing eight times did they get up.

Tong Lin poured three bowls of wine and handed them to Jiang Sheng and the others. The three of them raised the bowl together and drank it all. According to the age of the youngest, Jiang Sheng is the elder brother, Zhao Yun is the second, and Xiahou Lan is the younger brother.

There are three knots in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and after Jiang Sheng crossed over, there were three knots in the bamboo forest.

Tong Yuan said: "Brothers work together, and their profits are golden!" Since you think you are brothers, you should unite in the future and create a great cause. Help each other in times of trouble, and never forget old kindness when you are rich. ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Follow Grandpa's teachings, we will not lose each other!" ”

After the worship ceremony, Tong Lin went to cook and organize the banquet, and Jiang Sheng wanted to help, but was stopped by Tong Yuan.

"Cooking is a woman's business, I'm waiting for a seven-foot man, don't fall into your identity, you have to wait for it."

"Since they are husband and wife, they should support each other, and their loving wives are tired, but their husbands are helpless, doesn't it violate the way of loving husband and wife? Cooking is a skill to make a living, not a humble status, how can you not do it? Jiang Sheng's rebuttal surprised Tong Yuan.

Although this statement violates the etiquette of respecting the elderly, it can be seen that Jiang Sheng does not have a view of Tong Lin as inferior to men, but on an equal footing, and Tong Yuan is happy in his heart. When Tong Lin heard this, she was already grateful, and she had no regrets about meeting such a considerate husband in this life.

"What the eldest brother said is very true, treat Sister Linlin like this, we-"

"Second brother, I'm going to change my name to sister-in-law!" Xia Houlan corrected.

"Uh, it's sister-in-law, Zilong is abrupt." Zhao Yun also realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay! Let's not engage in such red tape, the second brother doesn't have to blame himself. ”

"Zilong doesn't dare!" Zhao Yun shook his hand.

Jiang Sheng originally wanted to get rid of these cumbersome etiquettes, but he was helpless and soft-spoken, it was impossible to shake the worldliness of the whole society, he tried to change this kind of history in vain, and he couldn't do it at all, so he had to adapt to this society.

These days, Tong Yuan did not go down the mountain again, but taught Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan hand in hand, and Jiang Sheng also had some experience in the discussion.

Before he knew it, more than a month had passed, and one afternoon, Tong Yuan went down the mountain alone, and he needed to confirm what Jiang Sheng had said before.

Jiang Sheng estimated the time, the Yellow Turban Uprising was almost time to happen, he had Tong Lin, and he had worries in his heart, was it the end of the old mountains or the troubled times? Jiang Sheng has been unable to sleep at night for this matter in the past few days. In fact, Tong Lin's kung fu self-protection is not much of a problem, but if you fall into the midst of thousands of troops, it is difficult to get out, it is feasible to stay in this Changshan, and when the time comes, it is a good choice to break out of the territory by yourself, and then take Tong Lin to the base. But according to Tong Lin's temperament, can she agree to let me go to battle by myself?

A few days later, Tong Yuan returned to the mountain, looking worried and not knowing what was going on.

After Tong Yuan returned to the mountain, he said hello to everyone and stuffed himself in the house and did not come out, not eating or drinking. Everyone was very puzzled, but they all knew that Tong Yuan didn't want to hear others inquiring about it, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he had to do his own thing.

Zhao Yun took advantage of the break in martial arts practice to come to Jiang Sheng's side.

"Big brother, I have long heard that Taiping Dao is plotting against me, looking at the master like this, I am afraid that something big has happened in this world."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Sheng asked.

"Big brother, don't blame the younger brother for talking too much, this time in the world, it is an opportunity for me to wait for a man to show his talents, I want to follow the eldest brother down the mountain and make a fortune."

"Zilong, you must know that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, battlefield combat is not better than a competition, it is thousands of troops and horses fighting to the death, thousands of lives are like grass mustard, even if the martial arts are outstanding, it is difficult to protect the whole body. You are too young to take risks. ”

"Does the eldest brother want to die in the mountains and forests?"

"I'm talking about you, Zilong! I had already planned to go down the mountain to suppress the thieves, and I was thinking about how to tell Tong Lin these days. ”

"The younger brother is already fourteen years old, the eldest brother should not always regard me as a child, since the eldest brother has this intention, please follow Rong Zilong!" Zhao Yun clasped his hands into fists and said categorically.

Jiang Sheng was about to excuse himself, when Tong Yuan walked over.

"Zilong! If you don't practice, you'll be lazy again! Do you still have a teacher in your eyes? ”

"Zilong knows it's wrong!" Zhao Yun had no choice but to pick up the gun and leave. Tong Yuan also followed to the martial arts training ground.

After nightfall, Tong Yuan came to Jiang Sheng's room, and it seemed that he had been entrusted.

"Zicheng, the world is really as you said before. Almost every Taiping Taoist disciple hangs a cloth bag in front of the house, on the book 'the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious', some time ago, the Taiping Taoist people around the country unveiled the pole and rose, with the head wrapped in the yellow scarf as the mark, known as the Yellow Turban Righteous Army, the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao called himself the general of Tiangong, his younger brother Bao, Liang called the general of the earth, the general of the people, the imperial court to He Jin as the general, the town guarded the Beijing division, so that the local organization of the official army to suppress the thief, but the official army is weak, the retreat is one after another, several counties have fallen into the hands of the yellow scarf. ”

"Isn't there a counteroffensive deployment for the officers and troops?" Jiang Sheng asked.

"The states and counties organized their own military and civilian defense against the Yellow Turbans, but with little success."

"Is there good news everywhere?"

"Youzhou Assassin Shi Guo Xun sent a list to recruit sergeants, and he has already won several small victories. Other than that, there are few good news. ”

"If I join the army, I will go north to vote for Guo Xun and take advantage of the situation to make meritorious contributions. What does Grandpa think? ”

"I also have this intention, if you join the army, Guo Xun's department is the first choice. It's just that the yellow scarf is big, and although Guo Xun has won a few small victories, it may not last long, so you have to be more careful. Linlin, I'll go to appease you, you can go with ease. I just need you to do one thing: come back alive! ”
