Chapter 4: Peach Blossom Baptism

Then it became quiet in the carriage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

I heard the sound of the wheels of the carriage "purring" and the sound of the curtains being blown by the spring breeze.

The carriage came to a halt for half an hour.

Qin Di was the first to get out of the car, and when he looked at it, he saw a very large house in front of him, which was wide and five hundred zhang, not the inner house where Xiao Qin Di lived in his childhood, but a special courtyard.

His mind flashed over the scene when Xiao Qin Di came last year, and said in his heart: "This is the old mansion! It has a history of thousands of years, and it was just renovated a few years ago. No one lives in such a big house, there is only an old peach tree in it, and there is also the ancestral tablet mourning hall. ”

The boys got out of the car and did not dare to enter the house, but waited at the gate.

After waiting for a while, many younger brothers, children and nephews came over one after another. Gradually, about forty people gathered. Among them, there are those that are commonly seen in the school, and there are also those who have never seen them, and who live in other states and return to their homes to worship their ancestors. Xiao Qindi has several uncles who live in other places as officials. Every year in March, these relatives will also send someone to send their school-age children back to receive the peach blossom baptism.

Finally, the parents of these children, that is, Qin Di's cousins and elders, all who can come are here. Adults who do not have school-age children are not allowed to enter Taoyuan.

Today is a big day, Qin Di's father Qin Guangling is here, two of the five uncles are here, and even the old man Qin Gaolan has rushed over!

The old man is over eighty years old, his ears are not deaf, his eyes are not dazzled, his waist is straight, and he looks like he is sixty years old. It is said that this is also the benefit of worshipping the fall of the old peach tree. The longest time of the year, he once lingered for more than half an hour, until a stick of incense lit three-quarters of the way, which was the longest record left in a hundred years, and it could rank among the top three in the history of the Qin family.

After everyone arrived, they entered the compound under the leadership of the old man, first worshiped the ancestors, incense to the ancestral tablet, kowtowed three times, recited the sacrificial text, and then kowtowed. A set of etiquette took more than half an hour to complete. By the end of the day, the younger children were a little tired.

Although Qin Di is a body of crossing, after all, it has fused the soul of Xiao Qin Di, and has more calmness as he grows older, and he kowtows honestly and sincerely with everyone.

He is such a detached person, and it is the first time in the eyes of the elders that he can complete a set of etiquette in a regular manner. Therefore, Daddy Qin Guangling was happy in his heart, and couldn't help nodding secretly, and at the same time kept praying: "God opens his eyes, I hope that my son can open his soul this time." For him, this is his last chance!"

After worshipping the ancestors, the old man didn't say much, and directly led everyone to the peach blossom backyard, asked the parents to tie the rope to the children's waists, and then told the children: "Try to persevere, stay awake, stay as long as you can, and finally if it doesn't work, shake the rope twice, and you will know it outside." ”

Although the old man didn't say much, the parents below kept chattering one by one.

"Don't panic, walk slowly!"

"Don't go too deep, do you see that rock?

"Don't go past that little flower pavilion!

Although he repeated the warnings, he did not speak loudly.

Qin Guangling, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, tied the rope around Qin Di's waist with his own hands, and didn't say anything in his mouth, just patted him on the shoulder twice: "Go, Mi'er!

Qin Di nodded, turned around and walked forward, but he was a little moved in his heart. Anyway, such a big official, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a ministerial-level figure, is usually regarded as a daily manager, and in the face of his own unsuccessful young son, not only did he not blame much, but he also came to take care of him personally. As a father, it's interesting enough to be able to do this level!

Qin Di said in his heart: "Old man, although I have fused the soul of Xiao Qin Di, my body is still your son. You have been kind to me, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will want to repay you!"

Look up, an old peach tree stands 300 zhang away, like the big banyan tree in the previous life, the trunk is enough for ten people to hug, the tree is three zhang high, but the crown has 50 zhang, the peach blossom branches are 10 million, the new leaves are a little green, swaying gently with the breeze.

He took a deep breath and walked forward without hurrying, gradually walking within three hundred feet of the trunk.

Suddenly, a refreshing floral fragrance came into the nose, and it felt like a needle, pierced into the heart, and like a basin of ice water poured on the top of the head, I couldn't help but feel a spirit, and my whole body trembled a few times!

When I took a sharp breath, I felt that my eyes were a little brighter!

Take the second breath, my ears stand up, and my hearing is enhanced by one point!

After taking three puffs, my hands and feet were slightly warm.

Qin Di said in his heart: "This peach blossom is really a good thing, no wonder it is regarded as a treasure, and it has become a rare opportunity in the mouth of the third uncle!

Just sucked five or six puffs, and the little kid who walked in front was already shaking!

Qin Di didn't shake it, he felt so refreshed! He was itchy all over, and his pores opened unconsciously, as if he had eaten 108,000 ginseng fruits, not to mention how comfortable it was. This thing is a thousand times more comfortable than a sauna massage!

He unconsciously quickened his pace, and walked forward briskly, and the further he went, the stronger the fragrance of the flowers became!

After walking twenty or thirty steps, he didn't see that half of the children behind him were already shaking the rope and being dragged out by the adults!

Continuing to walk forward, Qin Di felt a burst of coldness and heat on his body, as if there was an invisible big hand, constantly stroking to the depths of his soul, and like a trickle, constantly washing all over his body.

At this time, a jet-black liquid flowed from his body, as if walking through the sludge. I even smelled a strong stench, as if I hadn't taken a bath for ten years!

After walking another twenty steps, it was already time for the tea, and most of the children behind him were dragged out, and only two or three people were still holding on.

The old man looked at the remaining few people and nodded slightly, holding his long hair and smiling: "This year is not bad, with these children, the Qin family can have two more Hanlin Bachelors!"

He couldn't help frowning, turned around and whispered, "Isn't it too far? You can't go any further, you have to hold him back!"

Hearing this, Qin Guangling shook the rope and tried to pull Qin Di to remind him that he couldn't go any further!

He didn't shout loudly, because he was in the Peach Blossom Courtyard, facing the old peach tree, according to the Qin family's family rules, he couldn't shout loudly and alarm the peach god, let alone alarm the ancestral tablet not far away!

There are rules and regulations in the family, and Taoyuan can't speak loudly! Even if the child is drunk and dies inside, he can't shout loudly!

The rope shook a few times, but Qin Di didn't feel it. Because after the baptism of Momoxiang, at this time he seemed to have sheep epilepsy, although he did not foam at the mouth, the muscles of his body were trembling, his spine was tense, and his neck was twitching for a while!

For him, there is only the old peach tree in his heart, and only the pink flowers in front of him!

The thick peach tree in front of him seemed to have turned into honey, attracting him to keep walking.
