Chapter 8 Seventh Crown Ceremony

"Young man, you should be happy in your youth. In your youth, let your heart be happy, do what your heart desires and do, and see what your eyes love to see." After returning to Chongling, Liu Xiu's life was exactly the same. It's such a free-wheeling day.For the third young master of the Liu family, Liu Yan's attendants were naturally extremely flattering. Wherever Liu Xiu went, there were people who greeted him and hugged him.During this restless period of youth, Liu Xiu really had nothing else to do besides growing her body. She just spent her days fighting cocks and horses, wandering around as a knight-errant.And the eldest brother Liu Yan is also indifferent to Liu Xiu's absurdity, neither urging him to make progress, nor forcing him to get fame, so that Liu Xiu can't help but doubt himself every time he dreams back at midnight. Could it be that he has some incurable disease, and the days to come are numbered, that's why the elder brother Liu Yan blindly pampered him and let him live happily.

Between the seasons, four years passed by, Liu Xiu was twenty years old, and after finishing the crowning ceremony according to the custom, Liu Yan solemnly called Liu Xiu to the courtyard. The vast courtyard is silent in the setting sun. Under the century-old cypress trees, two brothers stand opposite each other.In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Yan is a great hero who must be looked up to, but in Liu Xiu's eyes, Liu Yan is always a good elder brother who can be approached.However, today's Liu Yan was not angry but mighty, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious. Liu Xiu had never seen Liu Yan treat him like this, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

Liu Yan looked at Liu Xiu, and said seriously: "After the crowning ceremony, you are an adult." Liu Xiu nodded: "I know." Liu Yan shook his head and said, "No, you don't know." After speaking, he threw a shovel to Liu Xiu, pointed at his feet, and said, "Dig." Liu Xiu picked up the shovel and dug, three feet into the ground, suddenly there was a sound of gold and stone, and when he opened it again, his eyes were full of golden light.Liu Xiu was so old, he had never seen so much gold, so he was stunned for a while. Liu Yandao: "This hundred gold has been buried here since the death of my father, and it is waiting for you to be handed over to you when you become an adult."

Liu Xiu stood dumbfounded, with tears in her eyes.Who said that Liu Yan didn't care about him, this hundred gold was the coming-of-age gift that Liu Yan had prepared for him early on.For eleven years, Liu Yan hasn't moved a single cent, even in the most difficult time at home, and how difficult it is!With this hundred gold, Liu Yan could support as many guests as possible and suffer less bitterness, but he was able to hold back and never took any money from the beginning to the end.Liu Xiu wiped away her tears silently, and said for a long time, "I can't have it." Liu Yandao: "Yes, it's yours. If you don't, it's yours." After finishing speaking, he added: "Before, I let you do what you like. Now that you are an adult, you can no longer blindly play for fun. Brother, you also have to take on the responsibility of supervision. You have two choices now, one is to use the money to study in the Imperial Academy, the other is to use the money to marry a marriage, you choose yourself."

Like a child, suddenly expelled from heaven and pushed into the cold and realistic world, Liu Xiu couldn't hide her disappointment.But you can't go back, this adult hurdle, whether you want to or not, you have to go.Liu Yan was right, either to study in the imperial academy, or to marry a wife and start a family, these are the things that adults should do, and he, Liu Xiu, has officially grown up today! Liu Yan originally thought that Liu Xiu would definitely choose Taixue without hesitation. Seeing Liu Xiu not answering for a long time, he couldn't help teasing and said, "So hesitant, why, could it be that you already have a girl you like?" Liu Xiu blushed, and Liu Yan Seeing this, Dale chased after her and said: "Tell me, whose daughter is it? It's so hidden that even I don't know."

Liu Xiu's face became redder and redder. Liu Yan pressed him repeatedly, and then Liu Xiu replied softly, "Don't say it's you, even the other party is still in the dark."
