He Wei

Three days passed quickly, during which Master Xue spent a lot of time preparing for the coronation ceremony for Xue Chengyu.

The Xue family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, with quite a lot of children, and there are quite a few children who are the same age as Xue Chengyu, so they simply gathered together for the coronation ceremony to have fun.

Master Xue has quite a few brothers, but due to years of in charge of their respective affairs, they have seldom moved around. Although the ancestors of the Xue family started their business by opening a medical clinic, after several changes, only Master Xue's line is still running the medical clinic.

Most of Mr. Xue's uncles and nephews are mainly engaged in business. They often have contact with Mr. Xue, but they also discuss the market. It is rare to get together to chat about their parents and talk about how the young masters are.

Xue Chengyu, as the eldest son of Mr. Xue, naturally wanted to accompany him, but it was hard for Xu Hong to listen to it like a bible, and he couldn't leave the venue halfway. One stop lasted all morning, and it was not easy after a day.

Before the coronation ceremony, Xue Chengyu burned incense and bathed, listened to the scriptures and recited the words, bowed three times and kowtowed to the ancestors in front of the ancestors. After a lot of tedious etiquette, he went to the main topic.

A total of seven children participated in the coronation ceremony at the same time as Xue Chengyu. The servants took out hair crowns, and the patriarch put them on in turn and then changed their dresses.

The patriarch was almost seventy years old, and his actions were a little slow, but due to his high seniority, no one dared to say anything.It's just that because this link was extremely slow, Xu Lang was almost falling asleep while waiting.

Anyway, such a grand coronation ceremony has nothing to do with him. He would be awkward anywhere with a foreign surname, so he might as well hide away and wait for the ceremony to be completed.

However, this wait lasted for two hours. Xu Lang leaned against the entrance of the ancestral hall, listening to the endless congratulatory speeches in the hall, his eyelids became heavier, and he fell asleep after a while.

But out of respect for Xue Chengyu's ancestors and ancestors, Xu Lang was still embarrassed to close his eyes, forced himself to cheer up, and stared at Xue Chengyu's back with his dull eyes.

Another quarter of an hour passed and the ceremony was still not completed. At this time, Xu Lang was already sleepy, and he really wanted to retreat and go back to sleep.

As for why he was so sleepy, it was all thanks to Xue Chengyu, who originally stayed with guests for three consecutive days to make Xu Hong exhausted.

However, Xue Chengyu didn't let him go last night. He didn't have a good rest after going through a lot of "tossing" last night. Today, he got up at dawn to prepare for the ceremony. It's no wonder he didn't get sleepy after walking down the whole set.

Just when Xu Lang was about to close his eyes, a pair of strong hands supported her. Xu Lang quickly opened his eyes to look for that person, and he knew Xue Chengyu without guessing.

Xu Lang looked around and found that other people who participated in the coronation ceremony were gathered in the ancestral hall with his parents, but Xue Chengyu came out to look for him alone, which made him very strange.

"Why did the young master come out alone? Where is the master?"

"My father was talking to other uncles inside, and there is nothing wrong with him, so he came to see you." Xue Chengyu helped Xu Hong walk out of the ancestral hall.

As soon as he got to Xue Chengyu's side, Xu Lang seemed to have some support, he immediately took a breath, rubbed his eyes, and when he got to the place where he was carrying someone, Xu Lang unconsciously leaned on Xue Chengyu's body.

Xue Chengyu felt that Xu Lang was tired, so he put his arms around Xu Lang's slender waist to hug himself, and asked softly, "Are you tired?"

Xu Lang let out another breath and didn't reply. Isn't this all obvious?As the "perpetrator" last night, Xue Chengyu should know what is going on with him now, so what's the point of asking knowingly?

Seeing that Xu Hong was silent, Xue Chengyu helped him to sit aside, and gently rubbed his waist from behind, "Come with me to my mother's tomb later, the last part of the coming-of-age ceremony is to thank my parents. Father has finished worshiping, only my mother has not yet..."

When it comes to seeing my mother, Xu Lang, I feel a little sad. Xue Chengyu’s mother died early but he can often pay homage to her, while my parents can’t pay homage to her even though they left late. Set up a memorial tablet, and often put up a stick of incense to worship.

For three years, whenever Xue Chengyu went to his mother's grave, Xu Lang would push Xue Chengyu to the grave first, and then leave alone.

Xue Chengyu doesn't want to talk about his mother, and he won't ask too much. Everyone has a bottom line that cannot be touched, but Xu Hong doesn't know that Xue Chengyu's bottom line is not his mother, but him.

Xu Hong didn't want to drag on, so she stood up slowly, stretched her waist, helped Xue Chengyu up, and said seriously: "Then let's go quickly, don't miss the time." After speaking, the two walked towards the grave of the ancestors go.

The Xue family's ancestral tomb covers a very large area, and there are at least six generations of people buried in it, and the size of each tombstone is also different according to the level of generation.

Da Zong's heir was half a foot taller than Xiao Zong's, and the inscriptions on the front were densely carved, and his life story was clearly written, as if he was afraid that others would not know his merits and demerits.

Xue Chengyu brought Xu Hong to Mrs. Xue's tomb without any mistakes. On the tombstone was engraved the date of Mrs. Xue's birth and death, and the three characters "Xue Wangshi" also came into view.

Xue Chengyu put down the crutch in his hand, knelt down in front of the grave slowly, raised his hand to touch the stone tablet, his eyes were full of sadness.

At this time Xu Lang wanted to leave, but just as he turned around to leave, Xue Chengyu raised his hand and pulled him back. Xue Chengyu used a lot of force in his hand, and Xu Lang was taken aback by such a pull.

"Don't leave this time... talk to my mother..."

"What?" Xu Hong didn't understand the meaning of Xue Chengyu's words. Why did he talk to Mrs. Xue because they were not related?

"My mother... She should like you very much... Just last night I had a dream... I dreamed that she said she wanted to see you..."

What Xue Chengyu said as if he was relieved made Xu Lang a little speechless. Now he is just Xue Chengyu's "lover" in name, with no name, no status, and he is not even tolerated by the world.

Master Xue left him in the first place just to take better care of Xue Chengyu, not to "take care" as he is now.

Now that Mrs. Xue knows about it underground, how should he explain it?Xu Hong was caught in a dilemma for a while, whether to stay or not to stay or not, frowning, unable to make up his mind.

"It's better not to... I'm stupid and can't speak... and I will hurt the Xue family's face here... I'm afraid I will run into Mrs. Xue..."

However, Xue Chengyu was relentless, holding Xu Wei's hand tightly, and comforted him: "What are you afraid of, my mother has never disliked you, so what do you have to worry about? What's more, sooner or later you will Those who entered my Xue family's genealogy into the ancestral hall are my parents, Cheng Yi and my family."

"Family?" Xu Lang repeated the word in surprise, although he never doubted Xue Chengyu's feelings for him, nor Xue Chengyu's sincerity, but in what capacity should he integrate into this family?Xu Lang obediently followed Xue Chengyu's words and knelt in front of Mrs. Xue's tomb, looking very cautious.

Xue Chengyu took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the dust on the tombstone and said: "Mom, today is my adult day, from now on I will no longer be a child, I will help my father to share the family affairs, it will be better If you teach your younger brother, you will better protect the important people around you... and you won't let what happened before..."

Speaking of this, Xue Chengyu choked up inexplicably, as if remembering something that made him sad.

"Xiaohong is very good to me. He also cured my leg. I can never afford to repay his kindness to the Xue family. But fortunately, Xiaohong can always be by my side, and I can protect him. , will not let him suffer any grievances."

He was flattered by Xue Chengyu's praise of Xu Hong in front of Mrs. Xue's tomb, and quickly explained: "I...I am not as good as the young master said... Madam Xue, please don't get me wrong... I am just taking care of the young master conscientiously... ..."

Xue Chengyu put down his handkerchief, patted Xu Hong's shoulder, and smiled slightly at the tombstone, "Mother, today is our adult day, Xiao Hong's parents died, and relatives are hard to find, so I decided on my own, and I want to give Xiao Hong a gift in front of my mother's grave." The coronation ceremony is going to be crowned, and the heavens and the earth are witnesses, I think you will agree with it if you know it."

What happened afterwards was as Xu Lang expected, Xue Chengyu omitted those complicated links and directly skipped the crowning section.

Xue Chengyu took off Xu Lang's unremarkable headband, took out an exquisitely crafted, simple and elegant hair crown from his sleeve, combed it again, put the hair crown on, and finally put the mahogany hairpin in it. in the hair.

After the coronation ceremony, it proves that the two have grown up. When it is time to talk about marriage, Xu Wei is not worried. The person he loves is by his side. He does not want a vigorous love, but only wants to be with him for a long time Xue Chengyu, there is no other request.

But Xue Chengyu didn't think so. He wanted to prepare a wedding for Xu Lang, and wanted him to enter Xue's house in a good manner, with a status and a name.

It's a pity that I can't risk the dissatisfaction of the world and do that outrageous thing blatantly.

Although being good at Nanfeng is not something to be ashamed of, if Xu Lang is pushed to the forefront and pointed out by others, he will never bear to part with it. How can his little Lang be so wronged?

Thinking of this, Xue Chengyu couldn't help clenching his fists, and forcefully suppressed this thought. He must marry Xu Lang, but not now.

"Xue Chengyu, the heir of the Xue family, swears by his own fate. The ancestors are above the ancestors, and the emperor and the empress are witnesses. In this life, I, Xue Chengyu, only love Xu Hong.

Even if he will be looked down upon by the world in the future, the ridicule and comments will not abandon Xu Lang!If there is any betrayal, the sky will be struck by lightning, and there will be no place to die! "

This oath really startled Xu Lang, and now he understands that Xue Chengyu didn't keep him this time to talk to Mrs. Xue, but to let him see his sincerity.

He had never doubted Xue Chengyu's feelings for him, so why did he swear such a poisonous oath, and quickly raised his hand to cover Xue Chengyu's mouth.

"Young master, please don't talk nonsense, I don't deserve you like this... how the secular world treats us, we have to rely on future generations to write... As long as I can accompany you every day, watch you, and be by your side, I am very satisfied... ...I hope that your leg will recover as soon as possible... Then we can leave Jiangnan, visit famous mountains and rivers in the world, and go to many places we want to go..."

Xue Chengyu was caught in the last two sentences about what he never forgot in his heart, and he pulled Xu Lang into his arms with a wry smile. The tears that were already free in his eyes burst instantly, and a tear broke through the line of defense and hit the ground heavily.

The ancestral grave was surprisingly quiet, and the sound of tears hitting the ground deeply touched Xu Lang's heartstrings.Xu Lang raised his head, wiped away the tears from the corners of Xue Chengyu's eyes, nestled tightly in Xue Chengyu's arms and said aloud:

"The world is full of mortals. It is a blessing to meet you, but loving you is the most correct decision I have made in this life. Xue Chengyu, I love you more than I love myself."
