Chapter 1 Awakening from a dream as a teenager

In the infinite sea of ​​stars, two figures stood facing each other.

"Let's get started!" said a soft male voice.

The pretty face on the opposite side nodded, and when she looked up at the five most dazzling white, yellow, green, blue, and red stars above her head, her face was very complicated.Looking down at the countless stars under his feet, he showed a gentle smile, which was so beautiful that it was indescribable.

As if all of a sudden, this sky, this land, this boundless starry sky, all the stars faded away, only this faint smile.

Shaking his head, shaking his beautiful long hair, the nostalgia in his eyes turned into incomparable perseverance.

With a soft drink and a soft call, the two figures gradually faded away, turning into infinite brilliance, intertwined together, like the nine-day Milky Way falling to the ground, and the stars flowed into the countless scattered land below. I don't know how long it took, the brilliance gradually dissipated , the figure also disappeared.These broken worlds are gradually bursting into life.

The five strange stars in the sky still emitted various lights. The white light flashed away, leaving behind a sigh;

What else is there in the empty interstellar space, but no one knows.

…………

Xiaohan's spring dream is late, and a thought enters Huaxu.

"Ah~~!" He yawned for a long time, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and Xiao Xuanzi finally saw the familiar face in front of him clearly.

"Mother~~, why did you wake me up so early today!"

The plainly dressed woman in front of her, even with a few patches on her elbows, was the mother of Xiao Sanzi, a typical plain, simple country woman who only worked hard for her husband and children.

"Little Xuanzi, get up quickly! The old patriarch of the clan presides over the ceremony for the boy, so he needs to be there on time!"

As the mother said, she patted Xiao Xuanzi's head lightly with one hand, and carefully handed over a full bowl of porridge with the other hand.

Xiao Xuanzi took the porridge bowl with a helpless expression on his face.

"Hey, now is the boy's ceremony, when will you be able to wear a crown and become an adult!"

The mother smiled slightly when she heard the words.

"Silly boy, it will be in a few years!"

Xiao Xuanzi shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his head, picked up the porridge bowl, drank the porridge quickly, jumped out of bed, and pretended to bow to his mother.

"My lord, let's go, my son!" As he spoke, he rushed out of the door towards the ancestral hall of the clan.

Mother smiled slightly, turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare the family's meals.

Almost all people in Yinjia Village have the surname of Yin, and Xiaoxuanzi is also surnamed Yin. Because he has not passed the boy's ceremony, he cannot have a big name, so he took the nickname Xiaoxuanzi.Xiaoxuanzi's family is not the direct line of the Yin family, but a side branch.

The children of the Yin family have to perform the boy's ceremony after the age of six, and the boy's ceremony is held every three years. Because Xiao Xuanzi happened to miss the time last time, he only performed the boy's ceremony at the age of nine this year.

The Tongzi Ceremony was held in the ancestral hall of the Yin family in the village. As the time was set very early, the morning fog had not completely dispersed, so Xiao Xuanzi could only rely on the light from the windows of the villagers to find the way.But after a while, Xiao Xuanzi saw a pair of big red light clusters in the mist, faintly, like the eyes of a beast.

Hehe smiled, Xiaoxuanzi knew that it was the mysterious Yin's ancestral hall hanging on the main entrance, the largest, brightest, and reddest lantern in the village, anyway, in Xiaoxuanzi's impression, this pair of lanterns can be regarded as extremely luxurious , can describe all the words and things that Xiaoxuanzi knows and doesn't know how to describe his style.Even, Xiao Xuanzi would come here to look up at the pair of lanterns almost every day, but unfortunately, as a side branch of Xiao Xuanzi, and he had not reached the age of Guan, he had no chance to enter the ancestral hall governed by the lanterns.

Now that he had an upright excuse, Xiao Xuanzi didn't hurry up, so he ran straight towards the big red lantern.

"Ouch!"

Xiao Xuanzi ran too fast and didn't pay attention to the situation in front of him. He only felt that he had bumped into a mass of soft things and bounced back, and that thing made a cry like a warbler.

"I hit someone, who did I hit? Why is it so soft and so comfortable!" Xiao Xuanzi thought to himself, and quickly took two steps to see the situation in front of him, he couldn't help being stunned.I saw a pretty woman, with her buttocks on the ground, and a basket fell beside her, which she presumably held in her hand.

"Ah! Little Xuanzi, it turns out that you, running so fast, are rushing to reincarnate!"

The owner of the shout uttered again, and it still sounded like a warbler in Xiao Xuanzi's ears. Although he was blaming Xiao Xuanzi, there was no tone of blame in it.

The person he bumped into, Xiao Xuanzi not only knew, but was very familiar with, was the girl next door to him.This girl migrated to Yinjia Village with her parents. Although her family name is also Yin, she cannot be included in the Yin clan unless one of her family can marry a member of the Yin clan, or marry someone from the Yin clan. Only women from the Yin clan can officially enter the Yin clan.

The girl's name is Yin Xiaolan, she is a few years older than Xiaoxuanzi, she is almost an adult for a woman, she is now working as a maid in the family of the head of the Yin clan, serving the head's wife.

There was a lot of laughing and laughing on weekdays, and I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. Today, after warming Yu into his arms, Xiao Xuanzi felt a little afraid to look at Yin Xiaolan's pretty face.

"Hehe, it's Miss Xiaolan. I'm so sorry, Miss Xiaolan didn't fall down!" Xiaoxuanzi tiptoedly helped Yin Xiaolan up, picked up the basket and handed it to Xiaolan.

"Hmph, you kid just know how to play haha, get away with it, see if my sister doesn't punish you, let you know how good I am!" Yin Xiaolan clenched her fist and shook it as she said.But Yin Xiaolan was originally a woman, and she was born weak, and she didn't show the slightest threat when she clenched her fists. On the contrary, in Henry Zhang's eyes, there was a special kind of beauty.

"Sister Xiaolan is amazing, sister Xiaolan is amazing, Xiaoxuanzi knows his mistake! Miss Xiaolan, let me go!"

"Hmph, I finally know how powerful I am, my sister. I can't punish you if I have something to do today. I'll see if I can find a chance next time!" Yin Xiaolan picked up her basket and hurried towards the ancestral hall.

Seeing Yin Xiaolan's departure, recalling the tenderness of nephrite at the moment when they bumped into each other just now, Xiao Xuanzi couldn't help feeling a little lost.He suddenly heard someone calling him, and Xiao Xuanzi came back to his senses, and saw a little fat man standing beside him, who was also a good friend of the boy's playmate, a fat man who was one year younger than Xiao Xuanzi.

"Brother Xuan, why are you still standing here? Why don't you hurry in and have a look? This is a great opportunity you've thought about a thousand times!"

"Well, what a good opportunity, oh, oh, ok ok, let's go in quickly, don't let those boys snatch it first!" Without mentioning the matter just now, he walked towards the ancestral hall, chubby Seeing that Xiao Xuanzi was fine, he followed closely.

When the two came to the gate of the ancestral hall, they saw a thin man in butler's clothes holding a booklet and writing something.Xiao Xuanzi took a step forward.

"Boss, we came here this year to perform the Boy Child Ceremony."

"Oh, name, which household?" the housekeeper asked without raising his head.

"I'm Xiao Xuanzi from Yin Yuan's family at the head of the village, and this is my neighbor, the chubby from Yin Tu's family!"

"Oh, you are the mason's boy!"

"It's Xiao Xuanzi!"

"I heard that you kid will think of some weird things, don't learn your father's craft, and drink the northwest wind in the future!"

Xiao Xuanzi salivated with a smile, "What the steward said is true, I'll save myself!"

"Here, go in quickly! Don't make the patriarch wait!" The steward pointed to the side door next to the gate, and then went to register the next boy.

Xiaoxuanzi and Xiaopang entered the door, and when they looked up, they saw a very wide yard. There was a pool of water in the center of the yard, and a stone bridge was built on the pool, connecting the gate of the ancestral hall and the gate of the inner hall.The deck of the bridge is paved with long strips of large bluestone, and the railings on both sides of the bridge are made of white marble. On the dozens of pillars on it, there is a stone sculpture of a lion, or a lion rolling a hydrangea ball, or a lioness and actor, each of which is different, falling on two sides. In the eyes of a kid, it was unimaginably luxurious.

Little Xuanzi saw it in his eyes, moved it in his heart, his eyes were stunned, and he wanted to step on the bridge.

"Bold!"

When there was a loud shout, Xiao Xuanzi was taken aback, and quickly turned his head to see where the shout came from.A gorgeously dressed young man stood there, and he was also acquainted by Xiao Xuanzi. It was Yin Hua, the youngest son of the village chief who had just reached the crown.

"You dare to go up this Hongqiao, but do you know who can go up this Hongqiao? My father, as the head of the clan, has to offer sacrifices, so he usually dare not go there; Looking up at the Zhang family's old temple, I asked the adults to go up for a while;...how can you, you boy, dare to make such a thought!" Yin Hua came to Xiaoxuanzi, looked him up and down, and pointed his hand to Xiaoxuanzi's forehead He shouted again and again.

Although Xiao Xuanzi is young, he is extremely intelligent. He usually behaves a little dull in front of adults, but whenever he encounters a situation, he has his own opinions, and all the youths of the same age secretly regard him as the leader.Now Xiao Xuanzi was a little dazed when he heard Zhang Hua shouting, "He De He Neng!"

"Who am I? I'm Xiao Xuanzi. What can I do... What can I do!" Xiao Xuanzi's thoughts were chaotic and he stayed on the spot.

Seeing Xiaoxuanzi standing still, Yin Hua thought that Xiaoxuanzi was submissive, but at the same time, he felt that because he was in a bad mood, he would call a person who had not yet received the boy's gift like this.

Where did Xiaopang see the situation just now? Seeing Xiaoxuanzi being shouted and questioned by Yin Hua, he felt guilty and stood aside, not daring to express his anger. Only when Yin Hua left did he let out a long breath and stick out his tongue Said: "What's so good about having a bridge here? It's just more beautiful. If you let me go up, I won't go up. Tell me, Brother Xuan!"

"Hmm~" Xiao Xuanzi was a little lost in thought.

"This Yin Hua is also bullying others. Isn't it because Dad is better than us, and he still wants to get our sister Xiaolan's idea? It's like being fooled by pork. Brother Xuan, you say yes!"

"Hmm~"

"Brother Xuan, what's going on today, you're petrified, Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan!" Seeing that Little Xuanzi didn't respond, Fatty hurriedly called Little Xuanzi.

Being shaken by Xiaopang, Xiaoxuanzi shook his body and came back to his senses, "Little Fatty, what do you want me to do?"

"I said Brother Xuan, you won't be scared stupid!"

"You are so stupid, let me go, hurry up and go to the ceremony! Otherwise you will be fined!" As he said, Xiao Xuanzi walked towards the inner hall of the ancestral hall from the passage beside the pond.

Xiaoxuanzi brought Xiaopang to the door of the inner hall, he saw that there were already more than a dozen boys of the same age in the hall, and some of them were very familiar with each other, and they were good friends of the two.There is a group of adults in the hall, a serious old man sits in the middle, and the people on both sides are squires from the Yin family. Behind the serious old man stands a young man, who is Yin Hua just now. The identity of the serious old man is naturally ready to be revealed. It was Yin Binghuan, the patriarch of the Zhang family in Yinjia Village.

Xiao Xuanzi usually met the patriarch, but he had never seen such a serious scene now.Seeing the majesty of the patriarch at this time, Xiao Xuanzi couldn't help but be shocked.

"Patriarch, let's come here to perform the boy's gift." Xiao Xuanzi quickly collected his thoughts and said with a bow.

"Come in, as soon as the time comes, I will perform the gift of a boy, and I will give you a great name!"

"Thank you patriarch!" The two stepped into the hall and stood beside the boys.

After a while, all the boys came together, offered sacrifices to their ancestors, and then performed the ceremony of boys.At that time, the patriarch held the roster, and when he thought of anyone, he went up to thank the ancestors, and then the patriarch personally tied his hair in a bun and bestowed his name.

When it was Xiao Xuanzi's turn, he thanked his ancestors like all the boys before, and the patriarch tied his hair in a bun. He looked at the genealogy, but he didn't seem to just give the name casually, but he asked: "Your father is the stonemason Yin Yuan? "

"Back to the patriarch, my father is the stonemason Yin Yuan!" Although Xiao Xuanzi was a little puzzled as to why he had to ask the question when it was his turn, he answered truthfully.

The patriarch nodded, but felt troubled in his heart.For those boys just now, most of their parents are illiterate and do not understand the meaning of their names, so it’s okay to say a word casually, while those whose parents are literate are mostly country gentry. They prepared their names early and sent them a greeting card to tell themselves It's time to say it.But this little Xuanzi's father, mason Yin Yuan, was one of the few literate people in the village.Because stonemasons need to carve flowers, birds, insects and fish, as well as characters, they learned a little when they were young.

Therefore, the village head thought in his heart that he couldn't choose a bad name, otherwise the stonemason's gossip would show that he was not good enough.Finally, the village head had an idea, thinking of an ancient book with thousands of characters, there is a sentence, "The heaven and earth are mysterious, the universe is prehistoric, the sun, the moon, the sun, the moon, and the stars are listed", and he said: "I will give you a double name with the word 'xiuxuan', Just call Yin Xiuxuan!"

Although Xiao Xuanzi learned some characters along with his father, he only knew them. He was ignorant, but he didn't quite understand the meaning. He only felt that his name was different from those of Yin Fu, Yin Biao, and Yin Cai.Before he could wait for him to think carefully, he heard the patriarch read the next boy, and Xiao Xuanzi had no choice but to thank the village chief and retreat to the side.

After the ceremony for the boys, all the boys dispersed and went back to their homes. Yin Xiuxuan also returned home after sharing their respective names with a group of playmates.
