"It's here. ”

Xuanyuan Yue's tone was calm, and when he saw that Xiao Yu was about to get out of the car, he threw out the cloth: "Change your clothes." ”

"I ...... these materials"

"Change. Xuanyuan Yue didn't wait for her to finish and interrupted.

Xiao Yu listened to his brother's words since he was a child, put on cloth clothes, and as soon as he got out of the car, he began to dislike the dirty rural environment here.

"Brother...... We won't be late for our bar mitzvah. ”

"No, it won't. ”

"Knock knock—"

"Please come in. ”

"Squeak—"

Xuanyuan Yue walked in front, pushed open the slightly decayed wooden rough door, the old woman in the room was lying on the bed, and a woman was holding a mallet and carrying swaddling clothes, sitting in the courtyard to hand wash clothes.

"Ma Er, this ...... Who are these two?" the woman got up and asked the groom, who was the groom's name.

"Sister-in-law, a new guest next door. ”

Ma Er said with a smile, Xuanyuan Yue had communicated with him before, and he wanted to visit as a civilian.

"Oh, please ...... inside Come to the humble house and laugh. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she hurriedly wiped her hands clean, ran to the kitchen, and when she passed by the old woman's bed, she introduced:

"New neighbor, I'm going to cook now. ”

When the old woman heard this, she tried her best to support her skinny body with both hands, and smiled at Xuanyuan Yue, as if she was greeting, but she couldn't spit out when she opened her mouth, and then coughed a few times, and saw blood in her palm.

"Brother...... What's wrong with her, old man?"

"Sick. ”

"What's the disease? Why don't you call a doctor? Why don't you take medicine?"

Xiao Yu asked worriedly.

"They don't have any money. ”

"Why don't you have any money? ”

For civilians, asking a doctor for as little as 50 copper coins, and as much as one or two silver, Xuanyuan Yue glanced at her and shook his head:

"Not everyone is the child of a rich family, and nine out of ten people in the church have such family conditions. ”

One tael of silver can buy 179 kilograms of rice, and they can't even worry about the money for food, let alone a doctor.

"Poor ......"

Xiao Yu said in a low voice: "When I go back, I will send someone to send them a thousand catties of rice." ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yue shook his head slowly: "There are thousands of households with the same living conditions, and there are many people who are poorer than them, starving to death, and many others. ”

"Brother, I know, what you want to teach me today is: people must know blessings in blessings!"

"Not true. ”

"Then I want to implement the poverty alleviation work in Xuan County!"

"Not really. ”

"What's that?"

Xuanyuan Yue did not answer.

The woman had already prepared the meal and brought it up.

The slightly decayed square table is wobbly and will fall at any time, the handmade rough wooden stool, on the table, the rice is only porridge, a large pot is only one layer of rice, and the other two dishes are dry fried quinoa, purslane, wild vegetables that can be seen everywhere, fried and ready to eat.

Xiao Yu can't stand it anymore, the way to welcome guests, no matter how you say it, you have to get some meat, this meal is to drive away the guests, Xuanyuan Yue said:

"It's supposed to be a month and it's the best meal they've ever had. ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, he sat down quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

The woman does housework every day but has small arms, and the family conditions are really low, and the woman opens her mouth to break the peace:

"Eat, you're welcome, hey, your newly bought clothes, they're so beautiful. ”

"Uh, uh-huh. ”

Xiao Yu said vaguely: "That old woman...... What's the disease?"

Xuanyuan Yue wanted to remind her sister not to mention this, but when the woman heard this, she slowly shook her head: "It's okay." She had typhoid fever...... It's been three years. ”

Xiao Yu couldn't believe it: "The minor illness has dragged on for so long?!"

She didn't know that in the eyes of the common people, minor illnesses are diseases that are difficult to cure, and those whose bodies cannot adapt to recovery and have poor home remedies will pass away.

The woman said this, tears sliding down her face:

"The family has the old and the young, the living expenses, only rely on his father to support, after the child is born, need goat's milk, the cost is greater, his grandfather and grandmother have smallpox, for us the price of medicine is sky-high, the old man is afraid of affecting the family, so he hangs himself by hanging...... It is difficult for my family to even live, and I want to leave, but I am reluctant to leave the poor child to suffer, and I am reluctant to ......."

In just a few words, Xiao Yu's tears soaked his eyes.

"The child's father has not come back yet, you eat first, and he eats the rest. ”

Seeing Ma Er and his sister hiding their faces and crying, she comforted: "It's okay, the day before yesterday, the child's father ran back happily, guess what's happy? He is an unknown tenth-level groom, was selected as the spare groom of the Xuanyuan Clan's Xuanyuan Clan, the day before yesterday, he happily hugged the child in a circle, happy like a child, and said that when the monthly salary came down, he would no longer worry about the child not being able to drink goat's milk." Hey, do you know the Xuanbu Division, the rudder of the Xuanyuan clan, the entire Xuanxian County is basically under the control of the adults of the Xuanbu Department......"

Hearing this, the chopsticks in Xiao Yu's hand slipped off, covered his mouth and rushed out.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yue surrendered:

"Goodbye. ”

The woman got up to stay with the guest:

"Hey, I haven't eaten yet......!

"I'll definitely come back next time!"

......

......

On the way back to Xuanbu

In the carriage

After a long time, Xiao Yu adjusted her state, she wiped away her tears, hugged Xuanyuan Yue and choked and said:

"Brother, I'm so uncomfortable, I'm ......"

Xuanyuan Yue smiled, and said in Xiao Yu's previous "serious" tone:

"He's just a subordinate. ”

"No, he's not a subordinate!"

Xiao Yu stood up and retorted.

Xuanyuan rubbed her head.

"In this world, there are no descendants, they all have blood, thoughts, and families. Xiao Yu suddenly realized.

Xuanyuan Yue nodded and said lightly:

"I'm honored to let my little princess understand this. ”

"The groom you want to kill today, he's the pillar of the family and part of the country. ”

"I know that my brother once said that without these grassroots units, the whole church would be like scattered sand, and it would be like a lot of eggs. Integrating with the people is the long-term goal of national progress, and unity is strength!"

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he listened carefully to his brother's next teaching, and kept nodding his head like a chicken pecking rice.

Xuanyuan Yue saw that education had been achieved, and he was also quite satisfied.

"Woo—— young master!!The rudder has arrived!"

The word "young master" Ma Er called it categorically.

"Ma Er, inform Miss later. ”

Xuanyuan Yue got out of the car and said, in terms of official position, she really can't compare to Yu'er, she is the lord of a country, and she is just a member of the Xuanyuan clan, if outsiders hear it, they will only gossip.

"Ahh......h This ......"

Ma Er scratched his head, broke out in a cold sweat, opened his mouth, and looked at the distant brothers and sisters.

......

......

Xuanyuan Clan Rudder Headquarters - Xuanbu

The rudder headquarters is three top four, shoulder to shoulder.

The people lined up in a long line, these civilians all brought their adult children to carry out the crown ceremony, plus the people of Xuanxian County love to watch the excitement, surrounded by a large group of sages, scholars, and literati, hoping that the descendants of these civilians can become dragons and phoenixes.

There were many onlookers, it was inconvenient to enter and exit, Xiao Yu asked the servant to open the way, and the servant shouted too loudly, which attracted everyone's attention. Because her appearance is really rare in the world, the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, and the appearance of a shy moon and flowers, it is difficult not to attract attention, so she has to hide behind her brother.

Yu'er didn't expect this trick to really work, and after everyone and Xuanyuan Yue's eyes staggered, they hurriedly retracted their gaze, and sighed and once again put their attention into the Xuanyuan Clan's courtyard.

When everyone's eyes no longer stayed, Xiao Yu asked Xuanyuan Yue:

"Brother, aren't we going to change our shirts?"

Xuanyuan Yue shook his head and lined up behind the "long dragon": "Let Xiaobai and the others step back, and we will line up slowly." ”

"Do you still have to queue up on your own territory?" Xiao Yu saw that his brother did not speak, and after arranging for his subordinates to leave, he also followed quietly behind.

"I have already asked Xiaobai to find the best doctor in Xuan County, and sent the groom a year's salary in advance, and he must be healed of his injuries and let him go home safely. ”

"Hmm. ”

After an hour in line

"Brother, I'm tired of standing, don't I have a stool in line? Why don't we cut the line? Can we go in directly, why do we have to line up outside?"

Not surprisingly, once Xiao Yu was bored or did something he didn't want to do, he started talking a lot.

"Yu'er, introduce the steps of the coming-of-age ceremony. ”

"Okay. ”

"One crown, two lords and three praisers, one guest, two ceremonies and three divisions. After entering the hall, you must first bow formally, press your left hand with your right hand, hide your hand in your sleeve, raise your hand to increase your forehead, bow 90 degrees, oh yes, the man is the left hand and press the right hand, bow and salute, and add three crowns...... "Yu'er not only likes to listen to her brother's lectures, but also likes to tell her brother what she knows, it has always been like this, she said for an hour before she went through the general steps of the coming-of-age ceremony.

In addition to Xuanyuan Yue listening, the cloth clothes lining up next to him also listened respectfully.

A blonde teenager in front turned around and sighed in surprise: "I didn't expect that there would be so many etiquette and etiquette for the unified coming-of-age ceremony!"

Finding himself interjecting, the blonde boy apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll introduce myself first, my name is Hu Yanjian, and I'm also here to attend the coming-of-age ceremony." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xuanyuan Yue only replied with one word, and Hu Yanjian saw that the other party was not very welcoming to him, so he stopped chatting, saluted, and turned around to continue to line up.

Ordinary people would look at Yu'er in surprise when they saw Yu'er, and the cultivator even quietly used his qi to sense the breath of the beauty, but the guy in front didn't react, which was a bit rare.

I have also heard of the Huyan family, which is a party, on an equal footing with the Xuanyuan family, and is one of the top ten families in China.

I just don't know why this Hu Yan Jian broke away from the family and held a coming-of-age ceremony in Xuanxian County as a common person, thinking of this, Xuanyuan Yue couldn't help but take a second look, and after careful consideration, there was indeed a harvest.

"Tiger's eye is cheap? This name is so stupid, little cheap, hahahaha. ”

Seeing that her sister couldn't stop laughing, Xuanyuan Yue gently tapped her little head: "It's rude." ”

Xiao Yu bowed his head and apologized: "...... Excuse me. ”

"It's okay, the clansmen call it that, they're used to it, don't mind, hahaha. ”

Hu Yan Jian turned around again, smiling.

"You're good-tempered, but you look a little tender, hehe. Yu'er has always spoken openly, but after she finished speaking, she still knew to look at her brother's face.

Seeing that his brother didn't react, he chatted happily with Hu Yanjian, and they chatted and talked about the coming-of-age ceremony about the "holy water".
