Although the initiation ceremony was held at noon, early in the morning, Li Chaiyuan went, followed by Tan Wenbin, Runsheng and Yin Meng.
I thought about seeing if I could help with the move, but when I arrived at the place, I found that the building was already occupied.
Grandma Liu's move really refers to people changing houses to live in, and all the furniture and supplies are left here.
Li Chaiyuan and others could only return to school and come to the family area of the old professors, where there are townhouses, but the house and yard are relatively small.
After everyone arrived there, they saw a man holding a hammer to strengthen the flower trellis.
Li Chaiyuan shouted: "Uncle Qin, the soy sauce bottle in the kitchen has been poured."
"Well, then I have to hurry up and help him up."
Uncle Qin nailed the nails, turned around, looked at Li Chaiyuan, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Li Chaiyuan still clearly remembers the picture of himself sitting on Uncle Qin's 28 bar a year ago, when he was terribly strong.
Entering the courtyard, you can see the careful design of Luo Gong, although the place is not as big as the previous one, but it is more chic.
Liu Yumei can live in the small east house of her grandfather's house, so she will definitely be able to live here.
The most important thing is that this is on campus, very close to my dormitory area, so it will be more convenient for me to come here in the future.
After entering the house, I found that Ah Li's room was arranged in a sunny position on the first floor, with a floor-to-ceiling window facing the yard.
To enter and exit Ah Li's room, you don't even need to go through the main door, cross the fence of the small courtyard and then step over the lawn, push open the window door, and you can come in.
For ordinary people, it may not be safe enough, but for this home, the last thing to worry about is safety.
However, the room in this room is small and can only fit a bed, so Ahri's painting table and desk are arranged in the second room on the first floor.
As for Liu Yumei and Aunt Liu, their bedrooms could only be arranged upstairs.
When Aunt Liu saw that Runsheng and Binbin were coming, she could only pat her forehead: "Ouch, really, I just moved, so I have to work hard."
The big pot of rice is cooked.
Li Chaiyuan finally recalled the taste when he was at his grandfather's house again.
During the meal, Tan Wenbin asked: "Grandma Liu, which restaurant should we eat at noon?"
Liu Yumei pointed to the table in front of her with chopsticks: "It's better to eat at home."
Tan Wenbin raised his head in confusion: "Can you sit down?"
"Aren't you sitting down now?"
Tan Wenbin understood: "No guests?"
"What guests do you want, aren't all your family here?"
"Hey, I thought you would call some old friends or something to support you, but you are really used to being honest and simple now, and you have a high level."
"Even before, the introductory ceremony did not invite foreign guests, and it would not be held on a large scale." Liu Yumei looked at Li Chaiyuan, and at the same time picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth, "After entering, if you can walk out of the river, you will know everything you should know; If you can't come out and invite outsiders to watch the ceremony, wouldn't it be a joke?"
Uncle Qin, who was sitting at the table eating, put down his chopsticks and lowered his head.
Li Chaiyuan knew that Uncle Qin had failed to go to the river, and Grandma Liu blamed her for being too hasty, but Li Chaiyuan was very curious, with Uncle Qin's strength, what could stop him.
At the same time, when he went to the yard first and passed by Uncle Qin, Li Chaiyuan also smelled the smell of herbs emanating from Uncle Qin, which meant that Uncle Qin came back with an injury, and it was very heavy.
Liu Yumei swept her eyes towards Uncle Qin and said lightly: "Ali, let's eat."
"Hmm." Uncle Qin picked up the chopsticks again, "Xiaoyuan won't let you down."
"The era is different, and I have long since let it go." After saying this, Liu Yumei, who had just wiped the corners of her mouth, picked up the spoon again and took a sip of the pear soup.
Some words can be said verbally, but if you can deceive others, you can't deceive yourself.
The inheritance of the Qin and Liu families fell on her shoulders.
Saying that he doesn't want to see the glory of the past is naturally false.
But the years have taught her tolerance and patience, and she will no longer put pressure on the young man like she did to Qin Li.
On the contrary, what she is more worried about now is whether the young man's own pace will be too fast, and she can't say that she has to suppress the time for him to open the altar and walk the river, so as not to be so easy to break.
After the meal, there was a period of leisure time, which felt a bit like the Chinese New Year, when everyone put down their work and gathered at home.
In the yard, Uncle Qin was patting Runsheng's muscles.
"Runsheng, you have too much dead meat, and the dead qi on your body is too heavy."
Too much dead meat refers to blindly knowing how to accumulate brute force, and dead qi is a physical characteristic of moisturizing life.
Li Sanjiang said that when Uncle Shan picked up Runsheng, he found that the child survived eating dirty meat.
Therefore, the details of Uncle Shan picking up Runsheng home from the river are very debatable, Uncle Shan is a corpse hunter, what did he go to the river for?
In his heart, he hoped that Runsheng could live like a normal person and not treat himself as an outsider.
Uncle Qin's evaluation made Runsheng a little ashamed.
He looked uneasily at the boy who was sitting shoulder to shoulder with Ah Li playing chess by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Runsheng knows how much the teenager expects from him.
Xu had seen Uncle Qin's strength, so the boy had always hoped that he could become Uncle Qin in the future, or even surpass Uncle Qin.
But now, it seems that I don't have this talent.
When playing chess, you can be distracted, after all, it is just playing three blind chess games at the same time.
Therefore, what Uncle Qin said, Li Chaiyuan heard, but he was not worried at all.
The more he is belittled now, it means that the true evaluation in his heart is higher, and he feels that such an excellent seedling should be able to get better development.
Uncle Qin began to gradually adjust Runsheng's muscle force in detail, and taught him tailor-made breathing.
From here, it can be seen that in the inheritance system, people are important.
People are the key to inheritance bonds, and written records can only play an auxiliary role.
In the kitchen, Aunt Liu was making desserts with Yin Meng.
Aunt Liu taught very carefully, all that came out of the kitchen was soft, and Yin Meng was also very serious about learning.
Until the first batch of desserts was baked, Li Chaiyuan smelled a pungent smell, and he didn't know who lit the mosquito smokers.
Soon, the sound of brushing teeth came from the bathroom on the first floor.
It should be Aunt Liu, even if it is an insecticidal tablet, she has to taste it, it is not easy to be a master.
Yin Meng stood at the kitchen door, shrunk her shoulders and clenched her hands, like a child who had done something wrong.
This is normal, anyone who almost sends the master away on the first day of learning to cook will be flustered.
Li Chaiyuan, Runsheng and Tan Wenbin have long figured out Yin Meng's cooking skills, and the more complex the dish is in her hands, the more potential it has to become poison.
No wonder when she was guarding the coffin shop alone, she only ate boiled noodles in plain water and added soy sauce at most; Stew a pig's trotter without even scraping the hair, only know how to stew it to death.
As an authentic Sichuan-Chongqing person, she can only cook white flavor for herself at home every day, not because she has a light taste.
However, Aunt Liu is much more loving than Uncle Qin:
"Mengmeng, you have the talent to learn drugs."
High-end highly toxic and only requires simple ingredients.
This is a talent that others can't learn, because if Yin Changsheng is really the legendary Fengdu Emperor, he is really someone in the underworld.
Fengdu, Fengdu......
Brother Liangliang told himself that if he wanted to go to Fengdu again, he had to do it as soon as possible.
Last time I was just walking around in Fengdu, but next time I go, Li Zhuiyuan plans to explore its true secrets.
Just the picture of Yin Fuhai being carried away and picked up by the four ghosts after his death was enough to arouse his curiosity.
I may be able to order a larger coffin, let Yin Meng lie in it with me, and then arrange an eyesoreness in advance to make a fake death, so that maybe I can go to the place where the Yin family dies.
Perhaps, you can see Emperor Fengdu there.
But the question is, it's easy to get in, how can you guarantee that you can get out alive?
Tan Wenbin and Liu Yumei chatted for a while, and what surprised Liu Yumei was that she was quite happy chatting with this child, and she unconsciously made herself talk more.
Although Tan Wenbin also lived in Li Sanjiang's house before, the two sides did not have much intersection, one was that Liu Yumei looked down on him, and the other was that Tan Wenbin himself went out early and returned to school late to practice and exercise, and there was no extra time at all.
Now, Liu Yumei somewhat understands why Li Sanjiang likes this child so much.
People, that's it, those who are used to eating high-end will want to be a little more down-to-earth, and having children like Xiaoyuan there can reflect the value of being strong.
The clock struck eleven o'clock.
"Boom!"
The originally clear sky, dark clouds, and sudden thunderstorms in summer were the norm.
Tan Wenbin patted his thigh: "Tsk tsk, old lady, look, God really gives face."
Liu Yumei glanced at Tan Wenbin and smiled silently.
At this time, Li Chaiyuan came over and said to Liu Yumei:
"Grandma, the two ancestors reminded us that it was an auspicious time."
Liu Yumei pointed at Li Chaiyuan and said to Tan Wenbin: "Did you hear that, this is what our new dragon prince should say."
Tan Wenbin smiled bitterly and said: "Old lady, aren't you embarrassing people, I want to have Brother Xiaoyuan's brain, and I ...... too."
For a while, Tan Wenbin couldn't even imagine what he would be like after he had Xiaoyuan's brain.
Liu Yumei stretched out her hand and tapped Tan Wenbin's forehead: "What's so difficult about this, the small sail boat naturally has to be whispered wherever you go, but when the Dragon King is sitting on the boat, you only need to remember one thing from the bow of the boat."
"Old lady, teach me quickly."
"Just pretend to be dead."
After saying that, Liu Yumei turned around and waved to Ah Li who came in with Xiaoyuan: "Come on, let's get down to business."
There were no guests, no lanterns, no banquets, even the room for the ceremony was small, one-third of the area was for the ancestral tablet, the first two chairs, and a futon in the middle.
On the ground in front of the futon, there were three lights.
A deep python opened its eyes, a golden dragon raised its head, and a phoenix perched on a tree.
They correspond to entry, river walking, and returning to the nest.
Only the Dragon King family dares to have this confidence and confidence to set up this three-phase lamp, other families, not because they can't put it, but because they are afraid that they can't bear it.
Just like the disciples of other families who go out to call Yunyou but not Jiang, the way of heaven has eyes, the rivers and lakes have spirits, and how much tone it dares to boast, it will dare to put you under much pressure.
Li Chaiyuan only needs to light the first light today, which means that he is getting started.
When he was ready to walk the river, he would open the altar and light the second lamp.
The second light together means that the river begins, the fate and luck change, and some things, even if you don't look for them and just hide at home, they will be arranged to come to you.
When Aunt Liu introduced herself, Li Chaiyuan sounded a little inexplicably familiar.
Li Chaiyuan also asked rhetorically, will his family also be implicated when he walks the river?
Aunt Liu's answer is that since the family has to make a name for the family when going to the river, the family will inevitably be implicated.
But after this road is sent out, the next road still has to be walked by the person himself.
First, whether you can transform into a dragon in the end depends on yourself after all; second, the further you go, the greater the involvement will be, and no matter how big your family is, you can't support it.
To put it bluntly, going to the river is a gamble against an individual and the family behind him, the essence is to make a big deal out of small things, and if it really presses down on all his net worth, then it is meaningless.
When Aunt Liu introduced "the family is big", Li Chaiyuan subconsciously looked at the tablet full of offerings in the room.
If it weren't for Runsheng, Binbin and Yin Meng coming today, the real "own family" might only need a wooden stool for breakfast. This is really ...... The family is big.
However, with Uncle Qin, Aunt Liu and Liu Yumei here, when they walked the river by themselves, they could still rely on one hand in the early stage, but after the early stage...... I'm afraid that the relationship between myself and Liu Yumei will become the same as when I was at my grandfather's house.
They can eat and live together, but they cannot interfere in things outside the normal world.
As for the third lamp, the phoenix perched tree, those who successfully walked the river didn't need to light it, and they only needed to light it when they temporarily exited and interrupted, so Uncle Qin clicked it.
In this way, it is equivalent to giving up this opportunity.
Liu Yumei was sitting on the left in a green dress, and sitting on the right was Ah Li in a red dress.
On an occasion like today, Liu Yumei represents the Liu family, Ah Li's surname is Qin, and she represents the Qin family.
Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu wore red python and green python practice clothes respectively, separated on both sides.
Aunt Liu should have the surname Liu, but when she was in Li Sanjiang's house, she had to change her surname Liu in order to pretend to be the third generation of her grandparents.
In fact, it can be seen from the dragons and phoenixes on the lamps and the pythons they wear that in ancient times, such a family had to be so tough.
The iron-clad Cao Gang and the flowing court, throughout the ages, have been seen in countless troubled situations.
Moreover, families like theirs often pay attention to luck and feng shui and do not show it in front of others, which allows them to pass on in the shadows for a long time.
Li Zhuiyuan stood in front of the futon.
Behind him, Yin Meng, Runsheng and Tan Wenbin were all holding incense.
The space was limited, and the three of them could only stand against the wall.
Liu Yumei said: "The conditions are simple, and I have neglected everyone."
Li Chaiyuan: "The water is not deep, but the dragon is spiritual."
Liu Yumei smiled and nodded, she had the conditions to do it on a large scale, and she also had the old house in Jinling, but she deliberately chose this place, this cramped place.
The place is smaller, and the human touch is stronger.
"Rumble."
The thunder outside the window was even stronger, and lightning came and went.
Liu Yumei couldn't help but look out the window, but it was a good scenery today.
The offering table is only some expensive wood, so are you all bowing outside the window?
Liu Yumei looked at Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu said: "Salute."
Li Chaiyuan first bowed to Liu Yumei, and Liu Yumei immediately stood up and returned the salute.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chaseyuan bowed to Ah Li at the Qin family.
Uncle Qin took a step forward and stood in front of Ah Li, ready to return the gift on his behalf.
But Ah Li took the initiative to get up.
Uncle Qin could only retreat.
Ali returned the salute to Li Chaiyuan.
She knows many things, but she just doesn't want to do it because of people.
Aunt Liu laughed in her heart, but on such a serious occasion under the rumbling of thunder, she could only suppress the corners of her mouth as much as possible.
She remembered that when she was at the Ding family in the mountain city, the old lady asked Xiaoyuan to pay her respects instead of Ah Li, and then sat down instead of Ah Li.
The old lady's mouth has only loosened recently, but her physical behavior has long been very honest.
Today, I saw the two children saluting each other, so it's time to look forward to the next round.
This life is really quite exciting.
Anyway, since the first time Li Chaiyuan walked in front of Ah Li and took Ah Li hand in hand, she liked to see the picture of the two children together.
Every morning before getting up to make breakfast, she would lean at the kitchen door and enjoy the two children sitting on the terrace reading and playing chess for a while.
After the formal ceremony, the next step is to choose the inheritance.
Liu Yumei made up her mind to let the two children choose one shoulder, but the process that should be taken must also be followed, let him choose one first, and then she will persuade him to take the other one.
There was thunder rumbling outside, and Liu Yumei couldn't help but glare: What are you urging!
After clearing her throat, Liu Yumei asked:
"Li Chaiyuan, the Qin family and the Liu family are in front, which family do you choose to go to?"
Li Chaiyuan looked at Ah Li and asked: "Did Ah Li enter the Qin family?"
Liu Yumei shook her head and said: "We are Ali, we haven't started yet."
If you don't get started, you will be entangled so much by those things, and when you really get started, I'm afraid that those things will be entangled even more fiercely.
It is precisely for this reason that Liu Yumei has never given Ali an introductory gift.
"Will Ah Li get started in the future?"
"When Ali is cured, it will happen."
"Then which door will Ali enter?"
"Whichever one you choose, Ah Li will enter the other one in the future."
Liu Yumei is both the young lady of the Liu family and the young lady of the Qin family, and she has a bowl of water.
Li Chaiyuan can choose one and the other, and let Ah Li get started later, so that no matter the two, they can't pick out the thorns.
"Li Chaiyuan, have you chosen?"
"I chose it, I will enter the doors of the Qin and Liu families."
Liu Yumei was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect this kid to be so on the road, she was even ready to have another bargaining with this kid.
But combined with this kid's previous words, after thinking about it carefully, she immediately understood what this kid was thinking.
For a while, Liu Yumei almost couldn't help but laugh.
This stinky boy has made up his mind to let Ah Li be his little junior sister in the future!
What do you think of the inheritance of the Qin and Liu families? Use it as a toy to make little girls happy?
Thanks to this teased little girl who is her own granddaughter, otherwise Liu Yumei would be a great genius standing in front of her now, and she would have gotten up to kill someone!
But being poked at her weakness like this made her angry and unable to get angry, and she felt extremely inappropriate to laugh.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thunder exploded around one after another, and in this family area today, all the TVs, washing machines and lights that were plugged in were probably broken.
With a "bang", the electric gate didn't know whether it was broken or tripped, and all the houses turned dark at noon in the dark clouds.
This is the only place, because I lit candles in advance, so I wasn't affected much.
Liu Yumei rolled her eyes at the window: Laughing, a bunch of old things, you know how to be blind!
At this point, Liu Yumei flicked her fingertips, and the door post of the Liu family flew into Li Chaiyuan's hands.
When Liu Yumei wanted to get the Qin family post on Ali's side, she saw Ah Li doing the same action as she did just now, her fingertips pressed against the door post, and with a slight flick, the Qin family door post also flew into Li Zhuiyuan's hand.
Li Chaiyuan stacked the two door posts on top of each other, knelt on the futon, and placed the door post on the python's head of the first lamp.
The door post ignited spontaneously, and the flames fell like mercury.
The python lamp was lit, and the python's eyes also opened, looking at the boy.
In the dark, Li Chaiyuan, who was proficient in arithmetic, seemed to sense that his destiny had changed in some way at this moment.
When the door post burned out, Li Chaiyuan knelt down straight and bowed to the tablet on the offering table.
With each knock, the thunder outside the window followed by a roar, as if echoing.
This scene widened the eyes of Runsheng, Binbin and Yin Meng, who were standing against the wall at the moment.
They could see that Brother Xiaoyuan was not deliberately waiting for the lightning and thunder to cooperate, but just saluted steadily according to his rhythm.
Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if Brother Xiaoyuan is deliberately cooperating with the thunder to create momentum, when will you see thunder hitting at the same rhythm nine times in a row?
The ceremony is over.
The thunder stopped.
Liu Yumei: "Worship the Dragon King!"
Li Chaiyuan turned around and faced Runsheng, Binbin and Yin Meng.
Then the four of them knelt down facing each other and knocked each other three times.
Since Liu Yumei said that she didn't care about the rules of false etiquette, then Li Chaiyuan really followed the process of worshiping the handle.
After the end of worshiping the Dragon King, from now on, the three of Runsheng were considered to be named disciples of the Qin and Liu families.
So many families at the Ding family dinner in Shancheng were passed down in this way a long time ago.
Li Chaiyuan turned around and faced Liu Yumei again, and with the last step of admonition, the initiation ceremony was successfully over.
Liu Yumei said: "Li Chaiyuan, since you have entered the Qin and Liu families, you should think about enterprising, do not fall into the lintel, and go to Jiang...... in the future."
The golden dragon on the second lamp suddenly raised its head slowly at this time, the dragon's mouth opened, and it spat out flames.
The golden dragon raised its head and opened the river!
Liu Yumei's eyes widened, looking incredulous.
Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu were also shocked, obviously there was no light, but the wick spontaneously ignited.
Li Chaiyuan was also surprised, but looking at the burning lights, he felt a little relieved.
It turned out that he had already started walking the river.
But when did it start?
The three of them were also full of curiosity, and they didn't see Brother Xiaoyuan lighting the lights just now.
In the audience, the only one whose expression did not change was Ahri, because the boy told her all the secrets.
Liu Yumei's expression was extremely solemn, she originally wanted to wait for the young man to grow up and then light the altar and light the river when he was ready, but now, the lamp has been lit and the wood is ready.
Unless the light is turned off now and re-lit, it will directly mean that you will admit defeat and fail to walk the river.
Liu Yumei's hands were placed on the armrests of the seat, and the solid wood chair was in her palm, constantly shattering like plastic foam.
Aunt Liu looked at Li Chaiyuan with concern, how difficult is it to walk the river at such a young age?
In addition to worry, there are also memories and expectations in Uncle Qin's eyes, and deeper, there is a kind of relief.
He was a loser in the Qin family's trip to the river, so he also hoped that someone behind him would succeed.
Li Chaiyuan took the lead in adjusting his mentality, pointed to the light of the golden dragon looking up, and said calmly:
"It's great, save yourself trouble in the future and look for it slowly."
The matter has come to this point.
Liu Yumei looked at the young man: "Xiaoyuan?"
Li Zhuyuan nodded.
Liu Yumei stood up slowly,
Said:
"With utmost sincerity, I declare to the rivers, lakes and seas:
"From today onwards, my Qin and Liu families will send their descendants to the river!" 」
