Chapter 71 Adult Ceremony
It is already sunset when he came out of the ancestral mausoleum. Yan Feng has already agreed with Yan Song that tomorrow is the coming-of-age ceremony of the family, so he will feast the whole family tonight, and Yan Song is also happy to go. However, the two did not go far, and the teenager was dizzy and swayed when walking. Yan Feng was shocked and hurried to check his pulse. Fortunately, his qi and blood were smooth, but he didn't eat for a long time, and his body was too weak. He wanted to send someone to send Yan Song back to Jianzhai, but at this moment, even the slaves of the Yan family went to the banquet. In desperation, he had no choice but to carry Yan Song back to Jianzhai and settle the teenager, and then hurried to the banquet.
Yan Song's dizziness was another whole night. The next day, before dawn, he woke up early. At this time, he officially recovered. There was no food in his stomach and he was very hungry. He came to Yan Jia's door and called her to get up to cook. He called twice, but there was a burst of anger inside: "I want to eat and cook it!"
Yan Song shook his head and just planned to go to the kitchen by himself. The girl's door was opened with a bang. The girl's hair was not combed, her body was lazy, and her eyes were red. Although she was too sleepy to open her eyes, she still stared at Yan Song fiercely. Then she stepped on the floor and went to the kitchen to cook.
Yan Song didn't know where he offended Yan Jia or disturbed her beautiful dream, so he carefully walked to the kitchen door and looked at the busy Yan Jia inside. He scratched the back of his head and talked to her with a smile, "Sister Jia, did you have a good time last night?"
Yan Jia's knife for cutting vegetables suddenly stopped. She was motionless and shocked Yan Song, but immediately, he cut it again. Although she turned her back to Yan Song, her behavior could completely make people imagine her expression.
Yan Song didn't know what to say, so he paused and asked again, "Sister Jia, thank you for taking good care of me these days--"
Before he finished his words, Yan Jia turned her head with a kitchen knife and looked at him angrily. With a force of her little hand, she chopped the kitchen knife on the cutting board, and then walked like a strong wind, hurried out of Yan Song's side, leaving Yan Song standing still in a daze, and couldn't see why from beginning to end.
After making a large pot of food and having enough to eat, Yan Song saw that although it was still early, he was eager to breathe fresh air, so he tidied up his clothes a little and did not dare to disturb Yan Jia in the room, so he walked alone to the family's martial arts arena. At this time, there were few people on the martial arts arena. On the contrary, Yan Feng arrived early. At first seeing Yan Feng, he was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Song'er, why did you come out so early? How is your health?"
Yan Song stretched his arms twice, stretched out his waist, and said to Yan Feng with a smile, "It's much better, uncle. Have you come here so early?"
"It's okay. Let's see if everything is all right," Yan Feng looked aside and said, "Song'er, after this coming-of-age ceremony, which part of the family are you going to take over and talk to your uncle?" Seeing that Yan Song wanted to stop talking and stopped, he was a little hesitant. He smiled and patted Yan Song on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong? Sorry to say? You won't cove me for the position of patriarch, will you?"
"Oh no, it's not my uncle!" Hearing this, Yan Song quickly took a step back and arched his hand to Yan Feng. Seeing that Yan Feng was just laughing, he knew that his uncle was joking with him, so he also laughed twice, and then said solemnly, "Auncle, I don't want to take over any industry and positions in the family now. Our family includes Yan Li, Yan Yan Yan Ke, and Jiajie. Some talents can help you take care of all aspects of the family. As for me, I want to go to the imperial capital Panlong Sword Academy.
Hearing this, Yan Feng was not surprised at all, but smiled more happily. After laughing enough, he said to Yan Song, "Actually, in my uncle's heart, I just want you to collect those dragon souls scattered everywhere!"
The rising sun slowly rose, and soon, everyone in the family and the foreign surnames of the Wuya Sword School rushed over. After a while, the elders also came together. They saw Yan Song on the edge of the crowd and greeted him again. After that, Yan Feng on the stage announced the official start of the coming-of-age ceremony. Soon, two servants carried a spiritual stone to test the level of Xuanxiu to the martial arts arena.
The coming-of-age ceremony is very simple. First, the spiritual stone is used to measure the exact cultivation of the descendants of the Yan family who have reached the age of 15, and then assign them different positions in the family according to the level. Of course, the higher the cultivation, the heavier the position. This is a family's affirmation of adult descendants.
Yan Song was under the stage and watched a peer who was named to perform in the martial arts field one by one. He inexplicably recalled the family martial arts meeting half a year ago. For a moment, he touched the scene and sighed again. At this time, he suddenly put a hand on his shoulder and pulled him back from meditation. He turned his head and saw that it was Yan Li.
"Brother, are you recovering well?" Yan Li asked with concern.
Yan Song nodded and smiled: "Well, it's all right now. How have you been recently?"
"Haha, I'm still the same, practicing hard, but the qualifications are here, and I can't compare with you!" Yan Li said and changed the topic again, "by the way, last night, the whole clan had a banquet. Our whole family hasn't been so lively for a long time. We thought you could go, but we didn't expect the patriarch to say that you were not feeling well. As a result, I offended Sister Jia. Alas, he hasn't dumped me until now!"
Yan Song was stunned, looked at Yan Jia standing quietly in the crowd in the distance, and then turned to ask Yan Li, "What's the matter? Did you offend her?"
"It's not me, it's Xiaowei, the slave sent to me from you!" Yan Li looked depressed and said, "Wasn't this little girl also present at that time? Everyone's master and slaves sat together for dinner. You said that she would have nothing to do anything to do late, but when the patriarch appeared, she sprinkled a bowl of hot soup on Sister Jia in front of the patriarch. At that time, Sister Jia was so hot that she called out and all present. People were stunned all of a sudden. Tut, not to mention how embarrassing the scene was. At that time, Sister Jia was so angry that she slapped her in the face, but the patriarch came over again and slapped Sister Jia without asking, saying that no one was allowed to punch and kick her servants without asking questions in the future. Sister Jia was annoyed and tears flowed down on the spot. She may feel lose face and didn't eat. She dragged her oily dirty clothes and ran out. At that time, my face suddenly turned green——"
"Why did Xiaowei do this?" Yan Song interrupted Yan Li's words. In his impression, this girl was careful to say something. How could she do such a bold thing? There must be something strange in it.
At this moment, Yan Feng called Yan Li's name. Yan Li hurriedly said, turned around and said to Yan Song, "I'll go up first and talk about it when I come back." With that, he went to the martial arts arena, saluted the patriarch and the elders, then came to the test stone and put his hand on it. Suddenly, a golden light emitted from above: the middle of the ninefold!
Yan Feng nodded with satisfaction and shouted, "Yan Li, in the middle of the nine-fold, from today on, take over all the affairs of Yanfu in the Sima family. In the future, everyone should follow Yan Li!"
Yan Li acted in the martial arts field with a burst of applause and envy. One person was in charge of all the affairs of the Yan family in the Sima family. The power was obvious. He was so happy that he did not hear the name of the next tester that Yan Feng had read. Back in the crowd, the people around him congratulated him. He all thanked him and came to Yan Song. Yan Song also smiled and congratulated him. He smiled faintly: "You are much better than me. If you don't believe it, wait and see."
Yan Song didn't say anything and immediately changed the topic: "Yes, why did Xiaowei do that?"
Yan Li hadn't recovered for a while. It was not until Yan Song asked again that he returned to the topic with some embarrassment: "At that time, everyone also asked her, but she stood there, bowed her head without saying a word, and then everyone looked at me and thought it was my master who had done something to her."
Speaking of this, Yan Li seemed to have forgotten the good results just now. He looked at his peers who were tested on the martial arts arena, complained a few words, and then turned his head and said to Yan Song, "Do you think this little girl deliberately did this because we risked our lives to save her a while ago? Anyway, I have been rashly serving at Sima's house. It has been less than ten days since I came back from Wuyajian. The little girl has been absent-minded. Either breaking a bowl today or breaking a plate tomorrow, I am speechless with her. If it hadn't been for your sake, I would have scolded you!"
Seeing that Yan Song lowered her head and did not speak, Yan Li came forward and whispered, "You know, many people said that a few days ago, Sister Jia held her away from you. She had a grudge, and after experiencing the Endless Sword School, she relied on you to save her to the death, so she dared to sprinkle the hot soup on Sister Jia. It's intentional to embarrass her!"
Yan Song was stunned and frowned slightly. He still didn't say anything. After a long time, he looked up at Yan Jia in the distance and glanced at him. He said that no wonder he had such a big temper in the morning. It turned out that she had suffered such a big grievance last night. After patting Yan Li's shoulder, Yan Song squeezed through the crowd and came to Yan Jia. There were still several steps away from Yan Jia. He smiled and said, "Sister Jia, when did you come here? Why didn't I see you just now?"
Yan Jiabai glanced at him, pouted her little mouth and didn't say anything. Yan Song saw this and said, "Sister Jia, I just learned about what happened last night, I--" As soon as he said, Yan Jia suddenly turned around and stared at him. The expression of not lifting the pot was obviously making Yan relax!
"Yan Jia!" Yan Jia's name suddenly came from the martial arts arena. Yan Jia shook her head and walked out of the crowd. Yan Song was speechless.
Seeing the patriarch and elders, Yan Jia came to the test stone and leaned her jade-like hand up. Then, a strong golden light came out on the stone: the eight-fold late stage!
There was another burst of admiration. The daughter of this family has always been very mysterious to them. Everyone in her previous life knew much about her family. They wanted to ask, but they vaguely felt that this girl in ordinary blue clothes did not seem to be too cold for the people of this family. She is very positive about major events. But it is obvious that the civilian quality in her body is a natural estranged from the aristocratic quality of the Yan family.
Yan Feng said, "Yan Jia, the late eight-fold harden body! Under the financial elders, manage the sales channels and supply of Xuanbing.
Yan Jia is very satisfied with this position. She was very good at buying and selling Xuan soldiers in a pawnshop before. At present, the rigid little face also had a smile and walked down from the stage in the admiration and congratulations of the crowd. Obviously, she was not overwhelmed by Shengli. She still thought about what had happened before. When she came down, she directly ignored Yan Song and walked towards Yan Li.
Yan Song was speechless again, but he saw Yan Li being diligent there and flattering Yan Jia from afar! Although his position is much larger than Yan Jia in terms of power and financial resources! Of course, he didn't have any other purpose. He was just apologizing to Yan Jia for what happened last night.
