Chapter 40: The Sworn Ceremony
After thinking about it, he said to Yan Liang and Wen Ba who had already stood up and scratched his head: "Whether it is a battle between the two armies or the generals, it is exquisite to suppress people with momentum at the beginning. If the opponent's soldiers are not as good as you and their skills are not as good as you, you may be able to defeat the battle! But when the opponent is not afraid of you and wait for the momentum, you must not be irritable and disturb your heart and will be distracted! Remember, remember!"
"Brother, I understand what you said, but I am the case with my personality. What can I do?" Wenba frowned and Yan Liang nodded in agreement.
"Of course, personality is not easy to change, but it is not impossible to change. Pay more attention and read more books to cultivate your mind and nature, and you will become calmer." Wen Chou said solemnly.
"Read more...Brother, are you sure you were right?" Wenba's brows frowned even more, and his face asked like a bitter gourd.
"That's right, brother, let's read more, it's better to give me a knife!" Yan Liang said in agreement.
The literary master nodded in a hurry.
"Oh, you guys..." Wen Chou was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Liang'er, Zixiao is right. You should read more and change your hot temper!" Yan's mother came outside the school martial arts field for some time, but Wen Chou and the other two were too devoted to know.
"Mother, why are you here?" Wen Zhaowen turned around first and came to Yan's mother and said respectfully.
"Mother, I didn't say it either. Brother said it was wrong! But, just..." Yan Liang quickly stepped over and explained. After a while, the following was gone.
"Brother?... That's right. My Yan family is in the Wen family. Your elder brother is right!" Yan's mother was shocked at first, then suddenly realized, and then said with relief.
"Mother, I want to recognize you as my mother and become a brother of the opposite sex with Gongji. I wonder what my mother wants?" Wen bowed after hearing the scandal.
"My mother?" Yan Liang also bowed and asked.
"…?" Yan's mother was shocked for a moment, unable to believe the scene in front of her!
"My mother?" Wen Chou waited for a while, but he didn't see that Yan's mother could respond, so he looked up and asked.
"Oh, you said you want to recognize me as your mother? You must never let me do it! You must never let me do it! My Liang'er and I have been ungrateful to you. How can I live with you as your mother?" Yan's mother came to her senses and said.
"My mother, do you dislike filial piety for your son?" Wen said in a scandal.
"How could it be? I didn't mean that, alas..." Yan's mother hurried forward to help Wen Chou up.
...
"No, even if I am grateful to you, I will never be your mother!" Yan's mother said firmly. After a while, she said: "But I agree to the fact that you and Liang'er have a brother of a different surname."
Wen Chou said everything, but Yan's mother just insisted on disagreeing, which was helpless! She thought to herself: "But it's good to have a relationship with Yan Liang as a brother of a different surname!"
"Thank you, my mother will fulfill it!" Wen Chou Yan said.
"Liang'er, now you should serve your brother as a filial son and repay the kindness of the literary family to our three generations! Remember," said Yan's mother seriously.
"Jin respects the mother's order!" Yan Lianggongjin said.
Wenba Ben wanted to go up and say something, but then he thought: "I am not of the same level as the two elder brothers. Since the elder brother has never invited me, why should I feel disappointed?" He stopped lifting his feet and stood silently.
As the sky gradually darkened, the night was coming. However, the Wen family was brightly lit!
In front of the lobby.
Incense table, fruits and vegetables, sake, short knife, etc. are all! Just wait for the two of them to swear to the sky.
In fact, there was no sworn ceremony in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Swedishness gradually emerged after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At this time, the placement of incense tables was all based on the memory of the previous life. One was to express solemnity, and the other was to strengthen Yan Liang's heart.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Yan Liang couldn't help but ask before being pulled by Wen Chou.
"Since we are brothers, we should respect the heaven and earth and let the heaven and earth testify, and we will be united in our hearts and virtues!" Wen Chou said. He handed Yan Liang a note.
"Let the heaven and earth testify?" Yan Liang also murmured with a solemn expression when he heard this. He saw the note again, and he saw that the letter said, "The emperor is above..." and Gong Jin was silently remembered it in his heart. The ancients, whether it was a high-ranking minister or a poor slave struggling at the bottom, had a heartfelt awe of heaven and earth! Not to mention the distance, just say that three years ago, Zhang Jiao of Julu, said, "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!", which shocked the vast empire, and millions of Guizhou heads rose up!
"In a while, you can do it with me!" Wen Chouyan said.
"Yeah." Yan Liang said nervously. From his actions towards Wen Chou, he was quite restrained.
Wen Chou stepped forward and ignited three long incense sticks, bowed three times to the sky, inserted it into the incense burner, then poured a bowl of sake, pierced his fingers with a short knife and dripped blood in it, before he stepped back.
Yan Liang followed suit, and also bowed three times, dripping blood from sake and then stood side by side with Wen Chou.
Wen Chou pulled Yan Liang and knelt down at the incense table, saying, "The Emperor is above. Today, Wen Chou Wen Zi Xiao and Yan Liang Yan Gongji became brothers of different surnames. The Emperor Tian Hou Tu really took this heart and was unfaithful and forgot to be punished together. Gods and men will be punished together! Life and death are entrusted to each other, and good and bad are saved; good and bad are dependent on each other, and they will be supported by troubles. Those who outsiders will be punished by their brothers!" After speaking, Wen Chou drank sake and signaled to Yan Liang.
Seeing this, Yan Liang hurriedly said, "The Emperor is here. Today, I, Yan Liang, Yan Gongji and Wen Chou, became brothers of different surnames. The Emperor, the Queen of Heaven, really took this heart and forgot his kindness. God and God will be punished together! Life and death are entrusted to save good and bad; good and bad are dependent on each other, and support each other in times of distress. Those who outsiders will be punished by my brothers will be punished!" After drinking all the wine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second brother!" Wen Chou held Yan Liang's hand and shouted happily.
"Brother!" Yan Liang also said excitedly.
"Ha, ha, ha!" The two of them smiled at Tianchang!
"Tonight, my Wen Chou's whole family should be drunk!" Wen Chou laughed loudly to the onlookers of the Wen family.
"Don't get drunk!" everyone cheered.
"Mr. Wen is already a hero. Now he has Mr. Yan, which is a happy congratulation!" A swordsman raised by Wen Chou family bowed.
"Thank you, I should drink more!" Wen Chou and Yan Liang bowed and smiled.
"What is Yan Liang's origin? Just a few days later, Wen Jun called him brothers?" As soon as Wen Jun asked.
"You have never seen Yan Jun take action, but that is comparable to Wen Jun's battle!" another person recalled.
"I heard that the Yan family and the Wen family are family friends?" Another person said in confusion.
"The Yan family is the head of the Wen family for the third generation. What do you think?" One of them contemptuously said to the man's ignorance. He looked like you knew me.
Yan's mother looked at Wen Chou holding hands and laughing, and Yan Liang and the others nodded with relief.
Drink until the wine is over. That night, Wen Chou and Yan Liang fell asleep. Although they didn't talk all night, they said that it was almost time for the rooster to crow.
