Chapter Seventy-Five: Rite of Passage
Jiang Yinian was able to become the first prince of Chu State, not only by virtue of his noble birth, but also by virtue of his knowledge and conduct. Yu Jin had already seen that Jiang Xiao Wang Ye was an elegant and trustworthy person, and since he promised to deliver medicine, he would not break his trust, so she was not surprised, she asked with concern: "Have you seen my second brother?" He's better now. “
"I met in a hurry, and the second young master kept asking the young lady when he would go home, and he couldn't lie down and was so anxious."
"How did you tell him?"
"I begged the second young master to lie down for more time, saying that the young lady would definitely go home for the New Year."
Yu Jin couldn't help but smile when she thought of Changqing's expression, she could guess the mood of the second brother, the second brother had never been idle for so long, how could he lie down after his physical recovery!
"It's good to let the second brother sharpen his temperament more."
Yu Jin took off her red clothes and put on a light cyan, hesitantly looked at the ring on her index finger, Zhuge Uncle and nephew's eyes always swept over the ring intentionally or unintentionally, she had already noticed that she didn't dare to put the ring into the backpack since she had no choice but to put it in the backpack, she took off the ring and carefully put it into the waist bag, and reached out and pressed it for fear of falling out.
There are many people who come to participate in Zhuge Weilan's coming-of-age ceremony, there are people who have business dealings with Zhuge Villa in the Three Kingdoms, and there are also patients rescued by Zhuge Divine Doctor. Heroes from all walks of life on the rivers and lakes love to join in the fun, and when they heard that Zhuge Villa will announce the election of the young village at the coming-of-age ceremony, they rushed over to see the excitement.
The coming-of-age ceremony was held on the high platform of the villa square, and the periphery of the high platform was full of people who came to congratulate, and the auspicious time had come to the firecrackers, which was deafening. The old owner of Zhuge first stood up to give a welcome speech, thanked relatives and friends for coming, and then began to narrate the life of Zhuge for 20 years by the elected respected old man, the ceremony is not complicated, Zhuge father praised, added a green jade crown to Zhuge tied up his hair, and the ceremony was completed. The old master of Zhuge announced that Zhuge Weilan was the young owner of the village, and he was the future head of Zhuge Mountain Villa.
The owner of Zhuge Shaozhuang knelt down to express his gratitude, and then asked Yan Yinuo Xiaoxia to play "Butterfly" for him to thank the friends in the rivers and lakes who came to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony.
Yu Jin was dressed in green clothes and looked elegant, she walked behind the guzheng, the song flowed out of her hands, and everyone in the audience listened silently.
Most of the rivers and lakes are temperamental, and they clap their hands when they love to listen to the songs, and they don't know how to be reserved. People who know music hear a different taste, who has not lived the years of youthful emotion, many people have remembered the years of youth and emotion, and their hearts yearn for it. Nangong Yameng burst into tears, he remembered his fateful relationship, and sighed in his heart.
The guzheng song, the person who plays the guzheng, the beautiful picture of the green mountains and green trees, freeze in everyone's minds, and for a long time in the future, "Butterfly" will endure, and the playing of Yan Yinuo has become a classic, and they are proud to have seen his style, and they have been talked about for a long time. Because it didn't take long for the news of Yan Yinuo's death to spread, his playing became a resound.
Although Zhuge really wanted to go to Chu with Yinuo, he had a lot of things to deal with, especially the marriage family owner was urging him tightly, and a few girls who wanted to marry were still in Zhuge Villa, so he could only send Yinuo away, saying that he would rush to Chu after the incident.
"Leng Guard, you take Zhang Yue, Nangong, and Fang Ji back first, hand over Nangong to Yan Yi, you go to help Huawu choose a site and build a rudder along the way, he won't manage and build accounts. I saw Xuanrong Jing's fourth son coming over to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, he should have brought the carriage and horse over, you tell Yan Yi to let him distribute it. “
Leng Hui nodded and accepted the task without distinguishing, and took Nangong and Fang Ji off the boat to pick up the horses and leave, and Zhang Yue continued to take the boat back to the house. Yu Jin took Ah Xiu to another waterway and disembarked halfway, and soon a scholar took the scholar to board the passenger ship to Chu State.
The scholar was carrying a backpack with a slightly dark complexion, thick and short eyebrows, small eyes with single eyelids, thick lips, and a mouthful of white teeth with a smile. The scholar next to him was carrying a burden, revealing cleverness, and he looked quite delicate, but he was a little hunchback and had yellow teeth. The two of them spoke with local accents on the boat, apparently going out for the first time, and they were chattering excitedly.
There was a loud bang, the river was foggy, a cargo ship went faster downwind, the passenger ship could not dodge, and suddenly hit the boat halfway up, knocking the boat into a hole, the river began to rush into the cabin, seeing that the ship was about to sink, and the people on board were hiding in the bow and stern.
Damn, I won't say a word, let Zhuge say that he will be buried in the water! Ah Xiu took out the bag from the burden and carried it on her body, it was already very cold in the autumn water, and she was ready to jump into the water to escape at any time by her side Yujin. Yu Jin hurriedly took out the ring and put it on her hand, she was afraid that she would lose the ring when she jumped into the water to escape.
A luxury painting boat came against the wind, and when she heard the shouting, she hurriedly sped up, Yu Jin looked at the Xuan family logo hanging on it, and knew that it was the ship of the fourth prince of Xuan, and Ah Xiu looked at each other speechlessly.
"Little boy, your surname, are you going to visit relatives or friends?" The people in charge of the Xuan family were very cautious, called the people who came to the rescue, and asked the reason one by one.
"Your surname is Yue, and Xiaosheng's single name is Nuo, this is my scholar Yue Xiu. I took the scholar out to travel for a long time, and I thank your master Gao Yi for saving the life of my master and servant. Yu Jin was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied gently and politely.
The steward was about to let Yujin's master and servant go down, when a majestic voice came from the room, "Please come in and talk." “
"This is my master, Xuan Sigongzi." Yu Jin entered the partition, and the servant on the side hurriedly pointed to the man who was reclining on the bed and reading. Yu Jin turned around and found that the partition was covered with cloth, and she could clearly see the situation outside.
"I've seen the fourth prince of Xuan, thank you for saving my master and servant." Yu Jin didn't look up to give a salute, the man was lazy reading, and when he looked up slightly and saw the ring on Yu Jin's hand, the corners of his mouth turned up to look quite good.
"All of you go down."
When the servant went out, he took Ah Xiu out, closed the hatch with his hand, the man threw the book with a turn of his hand, got down from the seat, and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Yan, I didn't expect to see you here, I regretted it all the way, I had a relationship with you, I didn't expect to be here to complete this fate."
Yu Jin was silent and didn't seem to understand, Xuan Sigongzi pointed to the ring on Yu Jin's hand, Yu Jin realized that it was the ring that exposed her identity, she took the ring to the banquet in order to prevent emergencies when she was in Wei State, Xuan Sigongzi was accompanied, I didn't expect him to be as careful as dust, and he still remembered.
"The fourth son has good eyesight." Yu Jin smiled calmly and admitted her identity.
"Call me fourth brother, although we haven't met a few times, but your name is like thunder, my family and Yan Daxia have a lot of friendship, don't see me."
"Fourth brother, I have something to go to Chudu, you still call me junior brother Yue!" Yu Jin took off the ring and carefully put it in her waist bag.
Xuan Rongjing said proudly: "It's okay, it's okay to go in the name of Yanyinuo, for my brother I will ensure that you leave safely."
Yu Jin smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with Chu Jingjing, I'd better not embarrass the fourth brother, what about Miss Shen San?"
"She didn't leave the customs, and when she heard the news that you left Wei safely, she went home to find some trouble for the Gongsun family, lest they be too idle to send people out to make trouble."
"Thank you Miss Shen San for your help for me."
"You say that the Three Kingdoms are famous, I advise you to wash off your makeup and appear in the name of Yinuo, after all, it is easy to kill a traveling son, and you have to consider blocking the mouth of the world. What's more, if you can come out of the Wei Kingdom alone, if my Xuan family can't help you return unharmed, then the Xuan family will have no face to stand at the head of the three major families. “
"It's the younger brother who wants to be left, listen to the fourth brother." Yu Jin replied with a smile.
"Come on, send Yan Gongzi to change clothes in the cabin." The fourth prince of Xuan commanded to the outside world.
Xuan Rongjing was knowledgeable and interested, and he never asked what he was going to Chu to do. The Xuan family is not short of money, although it is on the boat, but they eat, drink, and sleep very thoughtfully, especially the fish fillets made by the cook are tender and delicious, and there are no thorns, which makes Yu Jin full of praise.
"Yinuo, it's not easy to eat fish fillets, this chef will give you that. My little sister plays with skin, and she promised you that your cargo ship will be given to you in the spring of next year, and then let the cook accompany you on the ship. “
"Fourth brother is bold, thank you! So I'm not going to accept it. “
No wonder the master often says that the life of a rich person is unimaginable, Yu Jin followed Xuan Sigongzi to have a long experience, abandoned the ship and boarded the car, and was extremely luxurious all the way. The fourth prince of Xuan is a good travel companion, and he always seems to inadvertently convey a lot of information in the imperial city of Chu. Compared with the prosperity of the Chu State, the Liang State was too poor and lacked materials, which were all caused by the war.
Yu Jin followed the master to many places, never enjoyed a luxurious life, about the master was afraid that she was not strong-willed, always in a hurry in the city, even if she entered the Chu State, she was only in the periphery, the closest to the Liang State was the fief of King Ping, and their master and apprentice went there more. The master said that the outside world is very big, don't sit in the well and watch the sky, you should go out and see more while you are young. Yu Jin has always been in a hurry, and has never stopped to rest, this time it can be regarded as leisure and entertainment.
Along the way, every time I entered the city, the inspection was very strict, but when I saw the Xuanjia mark, the car driver was directly exempted from inspection.
After entering the Imperial City of the Imperial Palace, the car did not stop, and went directly to the most luxurious inn of the Xuan family before stopping, "Yinuo, there are many minions in the capital who respect Luo shirt first and then respect people, the fourth brother prepares a few sets of clothes for you and your entourage, you change them, I will get off the car first and wait for you." The fourth prince asked the servant to bring the box into the car, and he jumped out of the car and waited.
Yu Jin put on a luxurious robe, covered with light gauze, no wonder people often say that people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, this dress is worn with light shoes, and the three-point posture is set off into seven points.
Yu Jin and Ah Xiu were arranged to live in a single courtyard, and there were four beautiful maidservants who served in the courtyard.
The literary style of Chu State is at its peak, and there are many stories of talented and beautiful women, where officials take concubines and prostitutes, and it is more difficult to find a man who has never touched a woman than to pan for gold in the sand.
"Childe, the journey is tiring, the bath water has been prepared, and the slave Fu'er is waiting for you to take a bath." The leading maid came in respectfully and saluted.
Yu Jin said with a deep face: "You all stay outside the room and serve, don't touch anything with me, my son hates women, I just have Ah Xiu to serve, you go down."
