Chapter 37 The Crowning Ceremony Begins
In spring and February, Liu Bei returned home again and brought an unexpected gift to Liu's mother. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info his marriage letter to Lu Hang. In the winter of the sixth year of Xiping, Lu Zhi discussed this matter with Liu Bei in the mansion. As a result, Liu Bei, who was unprepared, was stunned for a long time, and Lu Zhi thought he was unwilling.
At that time, Lu Zhi was also generous, so he said: "If Wulang is unwilling, this matter will be closed." Fortunately, only the two of them were there at the time, and Lu Zhi was not afraid that the news would make his family unhappy.
Where is Liu Bei unwilling, it's just that Lu Heng is only thirteen years old, and he usually treats him as a daughter, is it okay? At that moment, Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "The teacher values it so much, and Jiuniang is dignified and beautiful, smart and lovely, where do I not like it." It's just that Jiuniang is a little too young...... "The meaning of the words is that the little girl is too small, and I can't do it."
Lu Zhi was thoughtful, and when he heard it, he smiled: "Where is Jiu Niang dignified, very naughty." If you like it, don't worry about your age, it's not for you to get married immediately, you can set up a family affair first, and after Jiuniang is fifteen years old, it's not too late for you to get married. ”
Liu Bei couldn't help but complain, is there a difference between thirteen and fifteen years old? Aren't they all young girls? If you want to have breasts and no breasts, you want to have ass without ass. In his mind, there was a picture of Lu Cheng flattering and timidly shouting to himself, Brother Wulang, you are light, and his heart fluttered inexplicably, and then he puffed himself, what is it.
And so it was settled. Then the direct change is that the future mother-in-law Shen and eldest brother Lu Min became more and more enthusiastic about themselves, and completely regarded themselves as a family. And Jiuniang didn't know if someone told her anything, so she hid in the boudoir and refused to come out to see Liu Bei. made Liu Bei feel stunned for a while.
The marriage steps in the Han Dynasty were very troublesome, and before the two families were interested, they had to exclude some factors that were taboo in marriage, such as whether the ancestors had enmity and whether they had the same surname. The Lu and Liu families naturally have no enmity, and they don't have the same surname, but they still invited a diviner. Ask if the eight characters of the birthday match or something. After everything is okay, it is time to exchange marriage certificates.
Liu Bei's father died early, and the marriage book was written by Liu Gong, the old man, although he was reckless, but Liu Gong's one-handed book was also neat: Liu Gong, the brother of the in-law, was the first to be hired by his nephew Liu Bei to hire the daughter of the great virtue Wang Lu Wengzi's family as the room.
On the back of the marriage book, there are several lines of words: two surnames are married, and a contract is signed; Good fate is forever knotted, matching the same name; Look at the peach blossoms scorching on this day, IKEA, and the melons in the year of Bu Ta are full of melons; I would like to write a letter to Hongzhi with a letter of white heads, so that the alliance of red leaves can be set out in the mandarin spectrum.
Well, this marriage certificate is equivalent to the marriage certificate of the future generations, and the matter has been completely settled at this point. Liu Bei just sat back and waited for Jiuniang to become successful.
When Liu saw the marriage book, he cried with joy, Lu Zhihai cleared his name, and now he will not marry his daughter to his son like Gan Qi? If Liu Bei knew that his mother's first thought was this, he would definitely roll his eyes.
Liu Bei came back this time, and there was one more thing, that is, this year is the seventh year of Xiping (the emperor changed to Yuanguang and the first year at the end of the year), and he is already eighteen years old. Mother and uncle discussed that Liu Bei was often outside, and he had been engaged in Luoyang County, and now he was studying in Taixue, so he should give him a crown salute, otherwise it would not be appropriate to be called around by Wulang Wulang.
Liu Bei originally wanted to invite Lu Zhi to come to Zhuo County to watch the ceremony, but after thinking about it, it didn't matter if he was too a student to run away, Lu Zhi was a court official and was repairing history, so it was better not to trouble him.
On this day, in the ancestral hall of the Liu family, Liu Bei bathed and wore a white robe, he wanted to come to the ancestors first, and tell the ancestors that Liu Jiaerlang had another adult today. Liu Bei knelt on the ground and prayed silently, praying that the ancestors would have a spirit to protect him, his mother, his family, and his clansmen in good health and safety. Bless him in this upcoming troubled era to make immortal achievements and recreate the majesty of the Han Dynasty.
The crown ceremony, the beginning of the ceremony, marks the beginning of a man's adulthood and the beginning of social and family responsibilities and obligations. It's similar to getting an ID card in later generations.
Liu Bei bathed and changed his clothes again, and changed his clothes again. The clansmen outside, dressed in ceremonial dresses, lined up in two rows to watch the ceremony. Today's host is Liu Yuanqi, the son of the sect, and the old patriarch is not in good shape, so he sits on the sidelines and watches the ceremony. The praiser is Liu Zijing.
Liu Yuanqi and Liu Zijing ordered Liu Bei to kneel on the ground, and then the two of them cleaned their hands in a copper basin and offered incense to their ancestors. Then separated left and right, Liu Yuanqi said loudly: "A certain nephew, Liu Jiawulang, said Bei, will be Gabu in his head ......"
"On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian dollar is served. Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. After Liu Yuanqi finished shouting in a loud voice, Liu Zijing stepped forward and wrapped Liu Bei's loose hair with silk, and then Liu Yuanqi solemnly put the cloth crown on Liu Bei's head and tied the crown belt. This addition is of great significance.
Under the guidance, Liu Bei bowed to his ancestors again, and bowed to his two uncles. Liu Yuanqi and Liu Zijing returned the salute, and the people who watched the salute congratulated, Liu Bei returned the salute, and then entered the side room to change clothes.
This time, it was the addition of Piben, which represented Liu Bei's obligation to serve in the military for the national dynasty and the expectation of Liu Bei's meritorious service and service to the country. "Ji Yue Lingchen, Nashen Erfu! Respectfully, Graceful! Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and they will be blessed forever! ”
Liu Bei said goodbye and changed his clothes. This time, after changing his shirt and bottoms, he was dizzy and dizzy, kneeling so hard that his knees hurt to death, you must know that this is a straight kneeling, unlike the usual people who kneel and sit, pressing their hips on their legs, this is the weight of the whole body pressing on the knees, and the stinging pain is not good. He wished he could finish it now. I saw Liu Yuanqi and said loudly: "With the righteousness of the year, with the order of the month, the salty gar suits!" Brothers are here, in order to become a virtue! The astragalus is boundless, and it is celebrated by the sky! ”
Then Liu Bei got up like a marionette and saluted everyone, and then Liu Zijing brought a glass of wine to him and Liu Yuanqi respectively, Liu Yuanqi stood facing the north with the wine, and read in his mouth: "The wine is clear, recommend Lingfang, worship and accept the sacrifice, in order to make Erxiang!" The rest of the sky, the longevity test will not be forgotten! Then he saluted Liu Bei from afar, and the two drank it all at the same time.
After greeting the guests again, Liu Yuanqi said loudly: "Liu Bei, young and well-educated, highly talented in the clan, and a hero in the world!" The book says: Xuande ascends to the news, and it is destined to be in place! The mystery is deep, and the stealth morality is hidden. Now give the word Xuande, hope to prepare for Guangde also! Liu Bei only knew before the ceremony that his words were written in the suicide note by his father Liu Hong in advance......
After Liu Bei waited for his uncle Liu Yuanqi to finish reading, he immediately bowed down. The guests who watched the ceremony praised and said: "The etiquette is ready, the moon is auspicious, the word Er, the word Kongjia, the fashionable person is appropriate, it is appropriate to be protected, and it is said that Bo Moufu!" ”
Liu Bei bowed and replied: "Although a certain is not sensitive! Dare not come all night! ”
The guests returned the salute, and then the two uncles led Liu Bei to the ancestral shrine and said: "After Lousang Liu's Liu family, Liu Bei Liu Xuande, Liu Hongzi also, today's crown is over, dare to see!" Liu Bei bowed again, so the crown was completed.
When he came out outside, Liu Bei only felt a burst of relief, and it was finally over. It's so tiring. A crown ceremony is so cumbersome, isn't it more tiring when the Son of Heaven pays homage to the temples, suburbs and other large-scale ceremonial activities? No wonder the emperor has a lot of pleasure, but this emperor is too tired. Liu Bei thought about it and found that there were sacrificial activities in the Han Dynasty throughout the year, such as Heshuo, Lichun, Asking for Rain, Shangling, and Lixia...... Liu Bei couldn't help but express deep sympathy for the emperor.
Today's crown ceremony, the Jian family and the Zhang family were also invited to watch the ceremony, and the two children Jian Yong and Zhang Fei also came. He was sitting at the banquet and was serious, but his eyes kept looking at the table, obviously hungry. Liu Bei couldn't help but smile when he saw the two of them, he was hungry until now, not to mention the two smaller ones. It's a pity that the adults in the family didn't speak, and he didn't dare to mess around. So he quietly walked to the second little side and gave a look. The two pees happily followed Liu Bei and slipped away.
Liu Bei turned around, smelled the smell and found the kitchen, looked at the left near no one, then beckoned behind him, and took the lead in dodging in. After entering, the two children cheered, and one of them hugged a pig's knuckle and gnawed on it. After gnawing for a long time, Zhang Fei suddenly remembered Liu Bei, so he handed Liu Bei, who only had half of the elbow left, to Liu Bei: "Brother Wulang, you can eat too!" ”
Liu Bei was speechless for a while, gnawed like this, give it back to me, what do you mean? At the moment, he said: "You eat by yourself, I will find it by myself, and, Zhang Dalang, and Jian Dalang, you can call me Brother Xuande in the future!" After saying that, he grinned. I am finally Liu Xuande, isn't it worth being happy? Zhang Fei and Jian Yong only cared about filling their stomachs, and they whined in their mouths, and they didn't know if they listened to it.
Liu Bei didn't eat as viciously as Zhang Fei and Jian Yong, so he looked for a few steamed buns, took two plates of side dishes, and ate them slowly and methodically.
As soon as he was half-full, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Liu Yuanqi stood outside, looking at Liu Bei with a crying and laughing face. Zhang Fei and Jian Yong saw that an adult was coming, and with a snort, he ran away without a trace, and threw Liu Bei alone in the kitchen very unrighteously.
Liu Bei got up curtly, holding a pair of chopsticks and didn't know what to do, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Uncle, why don't you come too?" ”
Liu Yuanqi didn't know what to say, this kid, it's really ...... Liu Yuanqi shouted angrily: "Wulang, Xuande! Why are you so ignorant? It's a banquet outside, and the guests can't find you, the main one, and they can't imagine that you are hiding here to eat! ”
Liu Bei couldn't help but blush, he originally wanted not to let the two little ones go hungry, but he also ate it, and he forgot about the banquet outside while eating. Liu Bei had no choice but to say: "Uncle, I saw that Zhang Dalang and Jian Dalang were hungry, and the two of them were still young, and they were afraid of being hungry, so they brought the two of them here, but they didn't think that they forgot the time, which is really a sin." ”
Liu Yuanqi saw the bones on the ground, remembered the two boys who had slipped out just now, and didn't say anything, so he glared at Liu Bei and said, "Forget it, clean up quickly and come out with me." ”
When he got outside, he couldn't help but stagger, and in the end, even if the degree of grain wine was frighteningly low at this time, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little groggy. On this day, Lou Sang held a feast until dusk. During the crown ceremony, Liu's mother watched the whole ceremony on the sidelines, and she was so excited that she cried several times. After the crown ceremony, it was the son's wedding. One stone fell to the ground in Liu's heart, and another stone rose into the air.
A moment of silence for the compatriots killed in the Nanjing Massacre!
