Although Yuan Ying was a little scared of the guy in front of her, but thinking of having a very powerful brother by her side, she suddenly pointed at Yuan Xiao with one hand and the other hand, and shouted: "Why are you talking so yin and yang, and your smile is also very sinister, and your eyes are as obscene as you are, tsk~~~~"

The last smack was imitating Yuan Xiao's tone, and as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately jumped behind Yuan Jian, and then poked out a small head, rolled her eyes at Yuan Xiao, and spit out her cute tongue.

The smile on Yuan Xiao's face suddenly froze, and the teenagers gathered around him looked at Yuan Xiao's face cautiously, and even the laughter quickly stopped.

He touched his nose and coughed, but there was not the slightest anger on his face, but he smiled and said, "Sister Sakura, your little mouth is becoming more and more rude and clever." After finishing speaking, he laughed and led the group of teenagers around him to the center of the field.

Yuan Jian's eyes flickered as he looked at the back of Yuan Xiao leaving, then waved his hand and stroked his sister's head, and reprimanded softly: "Little sister, if you say less about this kind of thing in the future, it is not a good thing to offend the insidious villain like Yuan Xiao." ”

Yuan Ying wrinkled her small nose and grinned: "Anyway, there is a brother here, I'm not afraid, hehe~~~~"

Yuan Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly, he really couldn't do anything about this naughty sister, he looked up at Yuan Jie, and then said without emotion: "Be careful of Yuan Xiao." Then he took Yuan Sakura and walked towards the center of the field without looking back.

For Yuan Jian's reminder, although there was some surprise, but Yuan Jie's heart was extremely heavy, he did not have the strength of Yuan Jian, and in the face of Yuan Xiao's threat, he had no ability to resist at all, what should he do?

"Jie'er, what should we do, that Yuan Xiao pushed you into the water last time, and he seems to have a conflict with Yuan Jian, our mother and son are involved in it, he will definitely do it to you again this time~~~~~"

Mei Niang looked panicked, in the face of this situation, how could she have any other way, her whole heart was in chaos.

Yuan Jie has no choice, he can only take one step at a time, even if he leaves the clan mansion now, if Yuan Xiao really wants to find trouble, no matter how he hides, he can't escape, leave Yuan City? This idea can only be thought of, this world is not as hostile as the previous life, the hostility between clans is very strong, and it is basically impossible for a Yuan clan person to enter the territory of other clans to live.

He held Mei Niang's hand and said softly: "Mother, the matter has come to this, let it be fate, Yuan Xiao is at most embarrassed for me, and he shouldn't be a killer~~~~" Speaking of which, even he didn't have any confidence.

Mei Niang closed her eyes slightly, sighed, and held Yuan Jie's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear suddenly.

Mother and son came to the center of the square with a heavy heart.

He didn't even hear Yuan Jie's name when the ceremonial officer on the adult ceremonial platform called out, his attention was completely on the incident just now, and he was thinking about how to get through that difficulty, Yuan Ying jumped to Yuan Jie's side, tiptoed into Yuan Jie's ear, and shouted: "Brother Jie, the ceremonial officer called your name!" ”

Yuan Jie was startled, and when he saw that it was Yuan Ying, he remembered that the coming-of-age ceremony had begun, and he immediately gathered his mind and walked onto the coming-of-age ceremony in the square.

There were twenty-three boys and girls who received the coming-of-age ceremony this time, including the children of the patriarch Yuan Meng and the children of the Yuan Bo brothers.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, except for a few, everyone else had to leave the clan, so most of the boys and girls had gloomy faces, and there was no joy of adulthood.

The ceremonial officer held a square leather scroll, which was full of dense words, and it was naturally written as an ode to adulthood, in the Alien Continent, there was no paper yet, similar to the ancient Han Dynasty in the previous life, and the words were written on the bamboo slip cloth leather animal skin.

And this text is only circulated in the noble stage, as for the common people are mostly illiterate, of course, there are some common people exceptions, you must know that there are many common people are degraded from the major nobles, most of these people have learned the language.

Like Yuan Jie, he has learned the writing of this world, which is very similar to the oracle bone inscription in the previous life, and it is very difficult to learn, and it is conceivable that the lower class people can learn even less, and the high-level people do not pay attention to the quality of the people, it can be said that this is simply an ignorant and barbaric world, and there is no cultural comparison with ancient China in the previous life.

There is no way, in a world where strength is respected, the so-called culture has no environment for survival and development at all.

If it were possible, I might be able to make a difference in this cultural desert, but now my situation is too bad, and this idea wants to get off to a good start, and it is impossible to guarantee it with strong strength, otherwise everything is too far away.

After reading the ode to the coming-of-age ceremony, the ceremonial official rambled a lot of words before entering the most critical part of the coming-of-age ceremony, accepting the coming-of-age belt, which is the custom of the Yuan family's coming-of-age ceremony, and every adult will have a coming-of-age belt, whether it is male or female.

However, this adult belt is not an ordinary belt, but a man takes a woman's belt, a woman takes a men's belt, and later on the wedding night, the belt is exchanged between men and women.

Although the adult belt looks similar, there are also ranks, young boys and girls like Yuan Jie who are about to be demoted to commoners get an ordinary silk belt, and those with higher status are special leather belts, and young boys and girls with special abilities get gold and jade belts, which are made by special means with high-value things such as gold and jade, gemstones, and crystals.

In this world, there is no hierarchy at all times, even in the current rite of passage.

The final step is the adult reward.

This reward includes many things, such as money, goods, manors, shops, workshops, and even concubines and slaves.

If the belt of adulthood is not enough to highlight the strict rank, then this coming-of-age reward is even more obvious.

The adult rewards received by the two adepts made the others jealous, especially Yuan Xiao, the son of Yuan Bo, who got a thousand acres of fertile land, three manors, four shops and workshops, and two beautiful maids, in addition to a large number of ability coins and other things.

Although Yuan Jian's identity cannot be compared with Yuan Xiao, the adult rewards he received are also extremely rich.

And a few other ordinary children also received a large number of adult rewards, which could ensure that they could live a good life even after leaving the clan.

No way, who called them supernatural beings, or the mother behind them was a high-status wife!

As for concubines and maids like Yuan Jie who give birth to children, the adult rewards they get are pitiful, Yuan Jie only got a mere 1,000 ability coins, which seems to be a bit much, speaking of which, in addition to the adult rewards, I'm afraid that the settlement fee after leaving the clan mansion is also among them!

Fair? Yuan Jie thought of such a word in his mind, his lips pursed slightly, and there was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, there has never been fairness in the world, let alone this barbaric world where strength is respected, it is the so-called civilized world in the previous life, and it is also full of *, intrigue and trickery, fairness has always been synonymous with cheapness.

The rite of passage is finally over.

Yuan Jie took the adult belt and a bag of ability coins and walked down the adult ceremony, Mei Niang below had already waited anxiously, and after Yuan Jie came down, he pulled Yuan Jie and walked towards the side door of the right courtyard of the clan mansion, from here they can leave the clan mansion, and from then on they will have nothing to do with the clan mansion.

After the coming-of-age ceremony is completed, the mother and son no longer have the status of nobles, which means that many of the noble rights they once enjoyed will leave them and become complete commoners.
