Chapter 34: Adulthood, Crowning

After two days of happiness, Hengyu's birthday was ushered in.

On this day, Hengyu received him at the door with his father. Hengyu's birthday is the second day of the ninth lunar month, which is already close to the Double Ninth Festival. On this island, where the temperature is relatively suitable, the dawn is still early.

Since the beginning of time, there has been an endless stream of people who come to visit the gate of the Li Mansion. Almost everyone is Hengyu's elder, and every time Hengyu has to bow down. After receiving it all the time, Hengyu's waist seemed to be about to break. I've practiced martial arts, and I can't stand such a toss!

Hengyu's father, Li Neng has always stood beside Hengyu. After all, some elders Hengyu still don't know each other, and I'm afraid that Hengyu will forget which elder is called what. Every guest passed by, and Li Neng had to go up and talk a few words. Looking in from the position at the door, you can see that Hengyu's mother is directing the subordinates to greet the guests. The family was busy.

"Hengyu, this is your partner Xiaodong's father, Uncle Peng Jianjun, do you remember! He was a general under your master at the beginning, and now he is mainly responsible for the military defense of our area. Some of the fishermen in the port were adapted from the army he led at the beginning, which is why every merchant ship entered the port and was inspected by him. ”

"Hello Uncle Peng!"

"Hello patriarch, good Hengyu! they have all grown up, and our generation is old!"

"Uncle Peng is not old at all, no, the defense of the island still depends on you! ”

......

"This is the lone wolf's father, you may not have seen it, a special general, who also trained a special army for us. He also played a big part in keeping us safe on this site. This is the only veteran of Hengyu's father who did not introduce his name to Hengyu.

"Hello uncle!"

"It's ......"

Every time he passes by someone, Hengyu has to salute. A lot of the time, you have to say a few kind words. Of course, he also heard a lot of compliments.

"It's ......"

.........

Until the end of noon, there were still many people who came, and they were all about to start eating. More than 200 people, not counting those who accompanied them, all led their horses and walked away.

Of the more than two hundred people, Hengyu bent down one by one. Hengyu felt scared when he thought about it later! There were more than 200 people, according to Hengyu's father, most of them were original soldiers, and a small number of them were people with relative status among the original inhabitants and the original Central Plains people.

Even though it was almost the time, there were fewer and fewer people coming, but Hengyu's father was not ready to let Hengyu in, and it seemed that there were still some important people who had not arrived. Hengyu also seemed to know who his father was waiting for with him.

"Master, you're here, you're a good wait!" Hengyu complained.

"Isn't this a gift for you? At this moment, Master Hengyu is holding a sword in his hand. Liang looked at Hengyu and said, "I'll give you the crown salute after the ceremony." ”

"Thank you, Master. ”

"Crown ceremony" is an ancient Chinese coming-of-age ceremony, a ceremony held by young men and women to a certain stage of growth, which can also be called "Chengding ceremony". The "crown ceremony" is mainly to crown the adult, and this form of coming-of-age ceremony is later defined as the "crown ceremony".

After Hengyu's father worshiped his ancestors, he announced the beginning of the "crown ceremony". The guests with status crowned Hengyu.

"I'll add this first crown!" Sister Hua of Yunyan Tower, who was also a guest today, took the initiative to step forward and said. And the strange whole scene was not objected, even Hengyu's father allowed the proprietress of this brothel to be so "arbitrary". Hengyu also began to suspect that Sister Hua's identity did not seem to be ordinary.

Hengyu sincerely knelt in front of Sister Hua and accepted Sister Hua's crowning.

"Son, yes, calm down, no impulsiveness. Since the crown ceremony we have here today is different from the previous ones, then we will continue to change it. Hengyu, the crown I added to you is not to ask you to enter politics, but to call you peach blossom luck. A man can never make a woman all you have. As she spoke, Sister Hua really took out a pink hat embroidered with peach blossoms from her body and gave it to Hengyu. When he said the last sentence, he glanced at Zi Yan who was accompanying Heng Yu, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zi Yan.

"I'll add this second crown!" Hengyu's master said heartily.

took the hat from Hengyu's mother's hand and brought it to Hengyu. This is a white hat, created by Zi Yan in collaboration with Hengyu's mother, embroidered with a martial art character with a tiger's head as the background.

"Hengyu, Master doesn't want you to be a general, Master only hopes that you can be martial arts and be able to protect yourself and your family. ”

"I'm going to add this third crown. Said the patriarch of the poorly dressed indigenous people.

"This third crown is the hat of the patriarchs of our race, and although your father is now the real patriarch of this land, I want to tell you that this will always be your home, and you can lead my people to battle at any time. As he spoke, he motioned to Hengyu to look next to him, and there was his shy and beautiful daughter.

Hengyu killed the two invaders, and almost all of them knew about it, and Li Neng was also preparing for Hengyu to take over some rights later. Everyone is naturally very optimistic about Hengyu, but what people didn't expect was that the former patriarch actually hinted that he could marry his daughter to Hengyu after seeing Zi Yan.

After adding the three crowns, the banquet began, and Hengyu went to see his mother. After worshipping his mother, it is not like the traditional "word", after Hengyu thanked everyone, it was directly counted as the end of the "crown ceremony".

Then Hengyu's mother pulled Hengyu with one hand and Ziyan with the other, and added an announcement loudly: "This is my daughter-in-law, I think everyone knows each other." There was a little misunderstanding in the middle, which was specially arranged by us as elders. Today, as a mother, I officially announce that I will resume my status as the daughter-in-law of the Ziyan Li family. ”

Hengyu's mother was very loud and powerful, but some people still looked at Zi Yan with a disdainful look, which made Zi Yan feel a little worried.

"Hengyu, come here. Hengyu's master on the guest seat called Hengyu over when everything was over.

"Here, take this moon blade, this is your Li family's sword, but I took it over and repaired it. The sword is light, tough, and the blade is sharp and shiny, which is very good. You can try it now. ”

"Thank you, Master. Hengyu didn't complain about anything because this sword originally belonged to the Li family, he knew that what the master said about the so-called renovation was to correct the problems that were difficult for others to find. It seems to be a trivial matter, but it is extremely cumbersome, and the effect is naturally not small.

"When you become an adult, it's time to have a new attitude. There should be more responsibility, and the ability is also at the age of good performance. ”

It's Saturday, everyone's happy!
