Chapter 7: The Crown

Ouyang said to Ou Ping: "Good job." ”

Ou Ping was praised by the young master for the first time, and whispered happily: "The water nature of the five years is not practiced in vain, but it is too cold." ”

"Didn't I let you hear the movement and come out of the barrel?"

"Yawn...... I haven't done anything about what the little master told me, of course I have to work hard this time. ”

"You've done a good job, remember, you can't tell you about it until you die. When my uncle wants to ask you, you will say that you don't know, and you are confused. Ouyang solemnly explained: "When you go to my mother's house, someone may see you, but even if someone teases you, you have to bite to death." ”

Ou Ping was a little worried: "I'm afraid that your mother will show her stuffing." Liu looked a little too flustered, she wanted to say that she had just met Ou Ping before, but she knew she couldn't. She is a woman, and she really doesn't know what to do, so she can only look at Ouyang frequently for help.

Bad things! Ouyang Da Khan, this is indeed too difficult to operate without a skilled cooperation team. Taixuzi is a professional and knows what to do. Ou Ping listens to everything and doesn't care why. It's just me......

Fortunately, Taixuzi also found out that something was wrong, and walked up to Ouyang Niang to salute: "Female layman, there is politeness here in the poor road, seeing that your body is weak, I will pass on your eight-character mantra, and recite it silently three times in the morning and evening...... Listen: don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, thank me and go home, don't look back, or your son will be killed by you. ”

After hearing this, Liu Shi hurriedly said, "Thank you, Dao Chang." ”

Taixuzi waved his hand: "Go back quickly." ”

Seeing his mother leave, Ouyang let out a long sigh. Grateful glanced at Taixuzi, who raised his lower eyebrows at him to signal that he understood.

With Taixuzi's dashing farewell, this little scam finally came to an end. This incident also quickly spread in ten miles and eight towns. The version of this matter in the next village is: Taixu Zi's hand knot method seal to drink: Where to go with the demons. A palm thunder struck the water ghost back to the Yellow Spring. The version of the village next door is: Taixuzi Immortal pinched his fingers, and the fairy qi rushed into the well, not only exterminating the water ghosts, but also sending the three children out of the well safely. Then the version of the next village: Taixu Immortal showed his might, entered the Yellow Spring alone, slashed the demon with a sword, and saved thirty boys and girls. Again......

No matter how it is preached, there are a few points that can be certain, first, Taixuzi has a prophetic preconception, which has been witnessed by countless people. Second, Liu is not only not a broom star, but also a lucky star, and because of her presence, the child was not killed. Third, too void is not for money, not for profit......

Within a few days, Uncle Ouyang sent a sedan chair to pick up Ouyang Niang. It is said that a man in the county was widowed in his early years, not very old, in his early thirties, childless and daughterless, with a good temper, thinking about continuing the strings. So the matchmaker found Liu's mother's house. Liu didn't want to leave Oujiazhuang, but Ouyang secretly met with him again, in addition to telling some things that could not be said, he also sincerely asked her to remarry, and said that remarriage is also my mother. In the end, Liu Shi returned.

When Ouyang was eleven years old, Liu gave birth to a daughter.

……

Twelve-year-old Ouyang has been very annoyed recently, and his mother has found a good family, and then he sees that he will be able to perform the crown ceremony in three years, but there is one more thing to worry about. The annoying thing is Liu Xiu'er in the next village, who has been given a baby kiss wife since childhood.

Forget it before, in the last ten days, Liu Xiuer has to go to her uncle's house for lunch every day. Eat here, but Liu Xiuer always looked at Ouyang from the corner of her eyes, and seemed to know that this person who didn't like to talk was her future husband.

Ouyang suggested to the old man that he and Xiu'er's sister should go to play together, go to the market together, or go to Liujiazhuang to visit the door. The excuse is simple: tired, sleepy, doing homework, helping the husband with chores.

Ou Ping looked at it strangely, and finally one day after the two of them swam, Ou Ping couldn't help but ask: "Little master, Miss Xiu'er is very good." Mr. also said that the life of parents is greater than heaven. Although the master is not your own father, he treats you like a mountain, why do you always avoid such family affairs. ”

"Alas......" Ouyang looked at the sunset and muttered: "The sea is wide and the fish can jump, and the sky is free for birds to fly." Ou Ping, I only know the meaning of a poem now. ”

"What poem?"

"Life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away. This man is not all forced, otherwise he would not have been able to throw both. Ouyang said: "Ou Ping, I want to go to the city to take the annual examination, if I get the status of a student, once the crown ceremony is completed, I can also use the state test to escape." ”

Ou Ping said: "I heard the master say a few days ago, young master, as soon as you finish the crown ceremony, you have to get married first." ”

"Isn't it?" Ouyang exclaimed: "So anxious? ”

"I heard that it was because Xiu'er's grandmother had been bedridden and was afraid that she would not be able to see her granddaughter get married, so their parents asked the master to discuss." Ou Ping asked, "Does the little young master not like Xiu'er?" ”

"Your young master, I am a person of taste, and I have little interest in **." Ouyang saw that Ou Ping didn't understand and explained with a smile: "In other words, she is not my cup of tea." ”

"......" Ou Ping shook his head in confusion.

"Let's put it this way, a man has a lot to do, a lot to have fun. And getting married and having children is the root of all this fun. Ouyang said in the sunset: "The joy of the boudoir is just a kind of fun in life, and I don't understand it when I explain it to you, but you will understand it in the future." ”

The annual exam was easily won by Ouyang, firstly, his knowledge was really okay, at least in the Mengzi exam, it was quite improvised. Second, the officials who took the main examination are all county-level cadres, and they can't help but consider the influence of the Ou family, as well as the face of the county lieutenant.

……

Buddhism flourished in India during the Tang Dynasty, but in the Song Dynasty, some scholars felt that Buddhist culture was a strong impact on the public, and advocated the revival of rituals such as crowns, marriages, funerals, and sacrifices in the whole society, so as to promote Confucian cultural traditions. Men between the ages of 15 and 20 who have not been mourned for more than one period of time can be crowned.

After performing the crown ceremony, you can become an adult, one can get married and have children, the second can formally participate in various sacrificial activities, the third can help the affairs of the clan, and the fourth can get some land.

The crown ceremony is in charge of Ouyang's husband, which is actually a form of adding hats and changing clothes. It's just that Mr. is more verbose: "I know that you have great ambitions, and you can't see the Analects of the Three Character Classic, and the Mean University is not in your eyes." Sir has no other teaching, remember that you are still young, and you are hated for being too sharp. The courtesy of a gentleman can be done in the temple, but it cannot be done in the world. I give you the word: macroscience. Think about it yourself. ”

"Mr. Xie." Ouyang Ouhong learned to kneel and bow.
