"The Crowning Ceremony is the first great gift in life. After the Crowning Ceremony, it means that you are no longer children, but adults who are responsible, capable, and standing in the world..." Ye Chung stood in Shushu.

Outside Yan's door, he was chattering drunkenly.

"I know, Brother Ye, we have remembered your instructions, and we are already adults." Xiao Mo smiled at Shu Yan, and the two of them supported Ye Chong and sent Ye Chong back.

Today, the three of them drank from noon to the west. Ye Chung has been in the capital for many days, waiting for the official appointment, but there has been no result. Now he has completely lost the confidence he had when he first came.

He felt depressed and had already drank a few glasses of wine before noon. Later, Shu Yan and Xiao Mo entertained him graciously, and after Xiao Mo's flattery, he drank a few more glasses.

Shu Yan and Xiao Mo also drank a lot. After sending Ye Chong off, they went back to their houses and fell asleep on the bed.

Xiao Mo was sleeping on the bed. In a daze, he felt a little thirsty. He opened his eyes and looked out the window. It was completely dark. He felt that he had been asleep for an hour or two. The light in Shu Yan's room outside was still on.

It's on, and there's a scent of offering coming from it.

"Hey, Brother Shu has drunk so much wine and it's getting late. Why hasn't he gone to bed yet? There's still a smell. What the hell is he doing?"

Xiao Mo gently opened the door and walked outside. He found Shu Yan kneeling in front of the desk. Three incense sticks were burning on the desk. In front of the incense were a dozen wooden signs, lined up in a row, each with a

Each one had a name written on it. Xiao Mo saw that one of the tablets had the words "The place of Zhixin of the Han family of Shumen" written on it, and knew that it must be the tablet of Zhixin that Brother Shu often mentioned.

Shu Yan was kneeling on the ground with a lonely expression, muttering something, not paying attention to Xiao Mo standing behind him.

"Grandfather, father, mother, Eunuch Xie, Eunuch Tang, Uncle Han, Aunt Han - Zhixin." Shu Yan really didn't want to put Zhixin's name together with these people, but she did say it with these people.

Went to another world.

"You know the spirits in heaven. I have two happy things to tell you. First, I was elected as a minister, and now I serve in the minister's office. As a child of a poor family, from being promoted as Xiaolian to being awarded the title of minister,

I have been very lucky along the way. I think this should be the blessing of your spirits in heaven. Secondly, today is my twentieth birthday, and I also have a crowning gift of my own.

I originally thought that since you all left me, I would never expect a crown gift. But you would never have thought, and even I didn’t think that my good brother Xiao Mo would accomplish this for me, and today he is also

On his 20th birthday, we held a unique mutual crowning ceremony together, and Brother Ye Chun crowned us. They are all my good brothers, and I will forever be married to them."

"Brother Shu, do you want to marry me forever?"

Xiao Mo suddenly spoke, startling Shu Yan who was attentive, "When did you come here? You are so thief, you eavesdropped on me."

"You are still asking me, but I want to ask you, what are you doing here if you don't sleep so late?"

Shu Yan's face condensed slightly and he said slowly: "Xiao Mo, you don't know, each brand on the case represents a relative of mine. From childhood to adulthood, they love me very much, treat me very well, and raise me up.

, taught me how to be a human being, and now they have all passed away. Some left naturally, and I was able to listen to their last teachings, while some suddenly said goodbye without warning, without even saying a word of farewell... No matter

Who is it? All of them hope that I can grow up safely and be successful. I have been away from home for several months and have been living in no fixed place. Now that I have settled down, it’s time to tell them properly.

, it just so happens that today is our adult day, so I just happened to tell them about it. I lay on the bed for a while, originally wanting to wait for you to fall asleep..."

"It's normal to pay tribute to ancestors, so why hide it from me?"

"I didn't hide it from you on purpose. It's just that this fact is my private matter, and it's useless for you to know."

"But I clearly heard it. You want to marry me forever."

"Whether I want you to hear it or not, I want to marry you forever, but I don't know if you are willing or not."

"I do. Since you want to marry me forever, why not do it now?"

"Now? What now? I am honoring my ancestors right now."

"Why not? Now is the perfect time. There are ready-made bookcases, ready-made incense, and there are so many of your ancestors to testify for us. Everything is ready."

"No... this isn't appropriate." Shu Yan felt that it was a bit ridiculous to put these two unrelated things together.

"Suitable, extremely suitable."

Shu Yan knew that Xiao Mo had always said that the wind was like the rain, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse. Hey, he suddenly thought of one and said to Xiao Mo: "I'm afraid it won't work today. I just said that you and I are still

Brother Ye, the three of us are bound to marry each other forever. How can we do it now with just the two of us? Why not wait until tomorrow and call Brother Ye to join us."

"No, absolutely not. It's up to us to marry each other. It's your business to marry him. I won't marry him anyway."

"You've done something strange again, haven't you? What's wrong with the three of us? Brother Ye is such a nice person?"

"Brother Ye is a nice person, but it's not easy to get along with him. Why don't you do anything else? The incense is almost burnt out, why don't you hurry up!"

After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he knelt down in front of the case, and took advantage of the situation to pull Shu Yan's clothes and kneel beside him. Shu Yan had no choice but to kowtow to the case and say: "My ancestors, please

, I, Shu Yan, would like to be married to Xiao Mo forever. We will share blessings and hardships in the future. I don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day.”

Before Shu Yan finished speaking, Xiao Mo pursed his lips and smiled, "Brother Shu, you are wrong. We were born in the same year, the same month and the same day."

After hearing this, Shu Yan suddenly realized, "Yes, I forgot. This opportunity is really rare."

"Brother Shu, is there anyone who can go further than Yongjie Jinlan?"

"What's further?" Shu Yan asked back, "I only know that the ancients had the acquaintance of Guan Bao, the acquaintance of playing the piano, the acquaintance of forgetting the years, and the acquaintance of commoners, which have been passed down as good stories. Is there anything further? Is it life and death?

Friends?"

Xiao Mo didn't answer, and he wished for himself and said: "I, Xiao Mo, would like to be married to Shu Yan forever. From now on, we will share blessings and share hardships, and we will never be separated from each other in all our lives. Since we were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, I hope that we will be born in the same year."

Died on the same day of the same month."

"That's wrong, that's wrong. Coitus is a matter between a man and a woman. How can you talk nonsense?" Shu Yan said with a smile, "You, you have been in the Central Plains for so long. You only focus on sightseeing and not reading much. This

How embarrassing it would be to say it out!"

Xiao Mo didn't refute, just looked at Zhi Xin's tablet and said, "I just ask for sister Zhi Xin's blessing."

"You are wrong again. You are my brother, and Zhixin is my deceased wife. You should be called sister-in-law. How can you call me sister?"

"It doesn't matter what you call it." Little Mera Shu Yan stood up and sat aside, "Brother Shu, I just want to hear your story. If you have time today, can you talk to me about it?"

"Well, we have known each other for such a long time. Although we have experienced life and death, we don't seem to understand each other deeply. Since we have become brothers today, we should get to know each other well. These people in the case are all related to me.

Story, whose story do you want to hear?”

"Listen to sister Zhixin first. You have so many ancestors. Why is it that only hers is a formal tablet and the rest are just small pieces of wood?"

"Well, there is a reason for this. When I was working as a literary publisher in Ruyin, I often dreamed about Zhixin. In the dream, her voice and smile were the same as in life, but she was wearing beautiful clothes. She repeated to us

She also said that she had known her as my wife since she was a child and wanted me to bring her to my side. After I woke up, I thought about her words again and again. How could she still be by my side since she was dead?

? Later, when I was about to board the ship to Luoyang, I passed by her house and brought her memorial tablet over. This may be the so-called 'bringing her with me'. As for the rest of my relatives, their tablets were all

At home, these small wooden signs are just for temporary occasions."

"You and her really have a deep love for each other. I really want to hear what stories you both have and what vows you have made. Also, if I guess correctly, those two flowers you brought all the way from Ruyin

If so, it must be related to her, right?"

"right."

"Can you tell me more about it?"

Shu Yan nodded, and then told Xiao Mo exactly what happened between him and Zhi Xin in the past. When it came to Shu and Han using the Book of Songs to quarrel with Shi De, Xiao Mo started laughing; when it came to Shu An and others

Being washed away by the flood, both of them bear the burden of the family, and Xiao Mo becomes sad; when it comes to the two of them working in the fields while reciting the Book of Songs, Xiao Mo feels envious; when it comes to the two of them fighting wild wolves together,

Xiao Mo couldn't help but admire him; when he mentioned that the two of them met on the last festival day to pick orchids and give medicine, Xiao Mo secretly thought sadly; when he mentioned that Zhi Xin used fire to burn a plum blossom exactly like Shu Yan's on her shoulder, Xiao Mo said

He admired Zhixin for her deep affection; when the two said goodbye at the ferry, they said their vows using the Book of Songs, and from then on, the yin and yang were separated, and Xiaomo silently felt sad for them.

By the end of the sentence, Xiao Mo was so mesmerized that his eyes were straightened and he couldn't help but feel lost. "I really envy the two of you for your deep love, and I envy sister Zhixin."

Shu Yan smiled and said, "Are you talking nonsense again? You are a man. If you envy her for anything, if you want to envy her, you should also envy me."

"Oh, yes, I should envy you for having such a good girl." Xiao Mo knew that he was wrong and hurriedly corrected himself, "I think sister Zhixin has two loves, one is for the Book of Songs, and the other is for the Book of Songs.

I love you. I love the Book of Songs because I love you, and I love you even more because I love the Book of Songs. Brother Shu, can you teach me the Book of Songs? I also want to be the woman who loves the Book of Songs, oh, no
