The sky is clear, and everything is growing, which is an auspicious day. In the ancestral hall of Jingyang House, there is the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Xia family, and below, Xia Hongsheng is kneeling on the ground, silently incense.

Before the time came, Xia Hongsheng had to kneel in the ancestral hall, and he could not leave the ancestral hall until the auspicious time to carry out the crowning ceremony.

Another handful of incense was inserted into the incense burner, and Xia Hongsheng took the opportunity to rub his legs. These legs have long been numb.

It was noisy outside, and the sound came into the ancestral hall. It is also thanks to Xia Hongsheng's good personality and popularity on weekdays, and he was crowned today, which is lively and lively, and it has not been deserted. Otherwise, if the Xia family clan has no clan, and the elders have no elders, this crown ceremony is estimated to be to burn a furnace of incense, and then let the sister-in-law take the crown with you, and it's over.

If this is the case, Xia Hongsheng is quite happy, but he is afraid that his sister-in-law will be sad and others will gossip.

Anyway, you have to follow the customs when you enter the countryside, not to mention that you have entered a time and space, so you can only follow the current rules. It's lively, and it's good.

Xia Hongsheng turned his head to look at those spiritual positions, and said in his heart Although I am not from your Xia family, I occupy the body and identity of your Xia family, and this kneeling is not a loss.

Kindness? This time, the roast chicken is very successful, and the flavor is very positive! Xia Hongsheng turned his head and looked over, oops? At this time, there are still cherries? I have long heard that cherries were precious fruits used in the temple sacrifice in the Tang Dynasty, and this may be in the deep mountains and old forests, and the temperature is low to bear fruit now...... I really want to try those cold melons...... Well, Xia Hongsheng is actually just a person who has been in the ancestral hall for too long and is too boring.

He was the only one in the family, and the rest of the people were busy. The guys are almost a top two, well, it's better to count overtime pay today. Xia Hongsheng touched his chin and thought in his heart.

"Childe!" There was a sound of calling from outside the ancestral hall, Xia Hongsheng turned his head to look, and saw that Yuexian didn't dare to come in, and was waving outside: "The auspicious time is coming, Master Yan ordered the slave family to call the son to change clothes quickly!" ”

That's great! Xia Hongsheng was so excited that he was about to cry. I can finally move back and forth!

Standing up with his legs that were numb to the pain of pins and needles, he limped to the outside of the ancestral hall, Yuexian hurriedly picked up Xia Hongsheng, hurriedly found a room in the back hall, and changed his clothes. Not to mention, this dress is really cumbersome, without the help of Yuexian, Xia Hongsheng really can't wear it.

To perform the coronation ceremony, we must first select an auspicious day, select the crowned guests and prepare offerings to the heavens and the earth and the ancestors, and then the father and brother will lead them into the temple to worship the heavens and the earth and the ancestors. If you don't have a father or brother, you should find an elder in the clan. If there are no elders in the clan, the division commander or other honorable elders need to be replaced. During the crown ceremony, the guests are crowned three times in turn, that is, three hats are worn in turn.

First of all, a cloth crown made of black linen material is added, indicating that they have the qualifications to participate in politics and can assume social responsibility; Then add a leather jacket made of white deer skin, which is a military cap to indicate that you have to serve in the military to defend the territory of Sheji; Finally, a plain crown with red and black is added, which is a top hat that was common in ancient times, indicating that you can participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

After the three crowns are completed, a banquet must be held to entertain the guests and praisers. After the "protocol", the recipient of the crown enters to meet his mother, and then the official guest takes the "character" to represent his or her dignity in society in the future. The ancients believed that only elders could call them "names" when they became adults, and ordinary people or peers could only call them "characters". Then, in turn, they will visit their brothers, see the praisers, and go into the room to meet their aunts. After that, the recipient takes off the hat and clothes worn at the time of the last coronation, puts on a black top hat and dress, and brings gifts to meet the king, or the official of the same country, or the local retired official.

In short, two words, trouble.

According to Xia Hongsheng, it is better to have a coming-of-age ceremony directly, invite a respected elder to say a few words, announce adulthood, and finish.

As soon as he changed into that cumbersome costume and returned to the ancestral hall, he saw Yan Shigu and Li Gang walking in.

"The auspicious time is coming soon, are you ready?" Yan Shigu came in and asked when he saw Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng nodded.

"Okay, don't panic, what the old man tells you to do, you can do it." Yan Shigu saw that Xia Hongsheng was a little cramped, so he smiled and said: "From now on, you will really grow up, don't be ...... like in the past."

Yan Shigu spoke very kindly, and gentlely, sounding very comfortable. However, Xia Hongsheng didn't have the heart to listen to it at the moment. This dress is called a pinching man, and it is not comfortable to wear at all. And seeing that there are more and more people outside the ancestral hall, Xia Hongsheng has never seen the crown ceremony, who in the future has seen the scene of the crown ceremony? I'm afraid there aren't many people who can know what the crown ceremony is. If it happens again...... When I went outside, the one with a bad smile on his face was not Li Yexu and Cheng Chu's silence! Look at the joke or what?!

"It's auspicious!" There was a shout outside the door, Xia Hongsheng could hear that it was Li Chunfeng's voice, and sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, he saw Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang come in together.

The sister-in-law was invited in, sat down on the high seat under the tablet, and wiped her tears with joy. She raised Xia Hongsheng as an adult, as the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and she also deserves this seat.

Today, Xia Hongsheng is crowned, and the guest is Yan Shigu. At this moment, Yan Shigu saw that the auspicious time had come, so he turned to Xia Hongsheng and raised his hand to salute. Xia Hongsheng hurriedly bowed in return, and then stood on the right side of Yan Shigu, facing the front of the ancestral hall. Li Gang took it and plundered it and put it on the left side of Yan Shigu.

I only heard Yan Shigu shouting loudly: "Jiyue Lingri, the first plus yuanfu, abandon Eryouzhi, Shuner Chengde, Shou Kao Weiqi, and introduce Bifu." ”

Xia Hongsheng first bowed down and saluted Yan Shigu, then turned around and knelt down towards the ancestral tablet.

Yan Shigu had words in his mouth, and took several crowns and hats from Li Gang's hands.

Xia Hongsheng knelt on the ground, let Yan Shigu read the previous paragraph aloud beside him, and then brought a layer to Xia Hongsheng, sorted it out, and then read a paragraph, and put on another layer. So the three.

Yan Shigu added a crown scarf to Xia Hongsheng, and then Xia Hongsheng wore deep clothes. Then Yan Shigu put on a hat for him, wore a soap shirt and leather belt, and tied his shoes. After that, the head was repeatedly added, the leather belt of the official uniform, the boots were held, the shirt was worn and the boots were taken. Then the wine is offered. Then give the word, because Xia Hongsheng originally had a word, and here is just a thought. Then it is to worship the shrine with the crown of the square......

Xia Hongsheng mechanically did the same as Yan Shigu's words, his face was full of sweat.

Finally, the crown salute was completed, and with Yan Shigu's salute, there was a thunderous cry outside. The little servants in the summer mansion began to serve dishes and drinks one after another, and warmly welcomed today's guests.

Xia Hongsheng looked at the people outside who were toasting each other with wine, and said in his heart, he had to pretend to be drunk and retreat again today. (To be continued.) )
