Chapter 328: Crowning Ceremony

The reason why mortals are human beings is also courtesy. The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in the correct appearance, color, and rhetoric. The body is upright, the color is uniform, and the rhetoric is followed by etiquette and righteousness, with the right monarch and minister, father and son, and the elder and young, and the monarch and minister, father and son, elder and young and then etiquette and righteousness. Therefore, the crown is then prepared, and the body is correct, the color is uniform, and the rhetoric is smooth. Therefore, it is said: the beginning of the crown ceremony. In the Tang Dynasty, the crown ceremony was the most important threshold in life, from the presiding officer of the crown ceremony to the crown ceremony, everything was related to the future achievements of the master, so the people at that time attached great importance to the crown ceremony. Not only to feast relatives and friends, but also to worship ancestors and other rituals, in short, the crown ceremony is more troublesome than the wedding.

On this day, Fang Yiai was pulled up by Fang Fengzhu early, and then he was tossed up by a group of women like a puppet, combing his hair and cleaning his hands, there are really a lot of things, but Fang Yiai is very strange, as long as his hair is a little longer than a monk, can he still comb it, and it is difficult for this group of women to be able to surround his head for half an hour. Wearing a white robe, with a dustpan in his hand, Fang Yiai felt that she was very similar to Su Qi'er in the movie, but she didn't have long hair.

Fang Yiai's love is very uncomfortable, because Fang Fengzhu didn't even let him eat a snack, saying that he could only eat after the ancestor sacrifice, how can Fang Yiai know when this ancestor worship will be finished, if he starts to worship his ancestors at night, then he General Fang will not be hungry.

There are really a lot of people coming to Fangfu today, almost all the characters in Chang'an City are here, like Weiguo Gong Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui needless to say, these people came to Fangfu early in the morning, at this time, they are like half masters of Fangfu, and they are telling their subordinates to be busy with this and that. The strange thing is that the grandfather Cheng who moved Chang'an, this Cheng bites gold and doesn't know what crown etiquette and etiquette are, but he also went to the house to blindly command, which makes people very embarrassed. In the face of the shameless Cheng Biting Jin, Fang Xuanling could only remain silent, Li Jing looked at the sky as if he couldn't see it, and only Qin Qiong could say a few words, "Brother Zhijie, you sit down for me, today is the son of Jun'er's crown ceremony, don't make jokes!" ”

"Second brother, my old Cheng is not so bad, right?" Cheng Yanjin was very unconvinced, why could other old things command people, and he couldn't pinch them? Du Ruhui frowned and scolded with a smile, "Old thing, do you know what a crown ceremony is?" Don't sit down and drink your wine yet! ”

"Okay, Lao Cheng can't drink?" Cheng Biting Jin didn't feel ashamed, he poured himself a glass of wine when he squatted on the chair with his big buttocks, and after taking a sip, Cheng Biting Jin stretched out his big tongue and sighed, "Brother Xuanling, this is good wine, when the matter is over, send it to the little brother, you also know that I have this problem, I don't love anything, I love to drink!" ”

Fang Xuanling's old face twitched, and it took a long time to squeeze out a smile, but he wouldn't give the wine to Cheng Yanjin, if this old thing knew where the wine was, he wouldn't empty the wine cellar.

"Dangyang County Duke Bo Wang and the old man have arrived!" Fang De opened his throat and shouted, his shout was mainly to remind Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling had already reminded Fang De, as long as Wang Bo came, he would remind him.

"Wang Bo? Hehe, I didn't expect this old man to really come, Brother Xuanling, let's go and greet him! Li Jing didn't expect Wang Bo to come to participate in the crown ceremony of Fang Yiai, it is said that Wang Bo can send a nephew to come. Although Wang Bo's title is a county duke, no one here dares to underestimate him, and Cheng Biting Jin is not a bad thing. Wang Bo is the lord of the Wang family, when it comes to the Taiyuan Wang family, who wouldn't know, plus the Langya Wang family, it can be said that there are almost no families stronger than the Wang family in the entire Tang Dynasty, and even the rise of Li Tang has the shadow of the Wang family.

"The old man Wang has worked hard, and he actually came to participate in the crown ceremony of the child in person, and Qiao has thanked the old man here!" Fang Xuanling bowed his hand respectfully and politely towards Wang Bo, Wang Bohun waved his hand indifferently, "Xuanling doesn't have to be like this, the old man also wants to come and see the excitement, it's a good thing today, haha!" ”

"Hehe, old man, please sit inside!" Fang Xuanling didn't think that Wang Bo was here to see the excitement, but this old fox would have such idle thoughts? After a while, Fang Xuanling knew why Wang Bo came, it turned out that Cui Can, the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and Zheng Yuan, the patriarch of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, also came to Fang Mansion together, and then Fang Xuanling's father-in-law Lu Feng also came, and now the patriarchs of the four major families are all together. Rao is Li Jing is used to seeing big scenes, and he didn't understand what these four old men wanted to do, Fang Jun's junior held a crown ceremony, and these old guys all came to see the excitement?

The four old men looked very good, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were competing, Fang Xuanling saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to the Lu family, and the Lu family found an opportunity to carry the old man Lu to the back hall. Lu Shi asked the maid to bring a cup of tea, and said with a smile with low eyebrows, "Father, what's going on today?" ”

"Who knows, the old man originally wanted to preside over the crown ceremony for my good grandson, who knew that these old things also came to make trouble, hmph, don't worry about it, there is an old man here, these old things can't make any trouble!" Old man Lu's beard shook and looked very domineering, but the Lu family also saw that something was coming, and it was estimated that there was some conflict between these families, and they were competing with their sons. The Lu family can't control this kind of thing, as long as these families don't ruin the crown ceremony.

"Father, let's talk about it, whatever you want, don't ruin Jun'er's crown ceremony, otherwise don't blame your daughter for being angry!"

Old man Lu's eyebrows jumped, he tasted tea, and muttered, "Good girl, is your father the kind of person who doesn't know the severity, don't worry, with the old man in town, nothing will happen!" ”

"That's good!"

For the four old men, Fang Xuanling really didn't have any way at all, or Li Jing came up with a good idea, directly made a table alone, and arranged the four old men together, as for the person who presided over the crown ceremony, Fang Xuanling already planned to let Du Ruhui go out, anyway, Du Ruhui was also familiar with the way, and there was no need to prepare anything at all. Zheng Renji also came with Zheng Yuan's old man today, and originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask about Fang Yiai and his daughter, but looking at this situation, there is no chance, and he has no place to speak today, although he is a minister and a big official, but compared to the big guy here, it is nothing. Especially Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they are the left and right servants of Shangshu Province, and the left and right hands of His Majesty.

Li Ji had to deal with the matter of the Dragon and Tiger Guard's provocation of troops, so he stayed in Youweiwei for a while, and when he entered the house, he found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and after finding Qin Qiong and the others, Li Ji sat on the chair and asked in a low voice, "Shubao, what's going on, what's wrong?" ”

"Mao Gong, you don't know anything, you can go and see it!" Qin Qiong pointed to the closed door, Li Ji walked over with a cat's waist and took a look, and at this glance, he understood, the four patriarchs were all here, this is strange, no wonder the atmosphere is a little wrong. Compared with the older generation, the gentlemen are not so particular, Li Ke is pretending to be a decent gentleman today, Cheng Chumo stepped on the stool, rolled up his sleeve with his right hand and shouted, "Brothers, today is Brother Jun's crown ceremony, we have to celebrate, everyone must eat and drink well, today, I have a treat!" ”

"Fuck off, this is Fangfu, do you think it's a restaurant?" Duan Zan spat very unceremoniously, the Wei Chi twins and Li Yexu brothers nodded at the same time in agreement, Chai Lingwu took the two wine glasses and compared the size, and only Su Dingfang was still normal, sitting with this group of people, Su Dingfang felt a little depraved, but fortunately, there was a taciturn Xue Rengui next to him. Su Dingfang's eloquence is still okay, and he chatted with Xue Rengui about the art of war after a while, and under this chat, Su Dingfang also had to admire Fang Yiai's vision, Xue Rengui is a great general, so he dug into Zuo Wuwei. Su Dingfang also wanted Xue Rengui very much, but he knew that his virtuous brother was famous for picking on the door, and he would never spit it out if he ate it in his mouth.

Tuoba Capture Tiger has been in Chang'an for a few months, but it is the first time to eat in Fangfu, there are very few people at his table, except that he is two women, Tuoba Capture Tiger doesn't know how his sister met Princess Bottle, in short, now on the surface, Tuoba Xiyue and Princess Bottle have a good relationship.

Fang Yiai sat in the room like a puppet, and the Lu family arranged for Fang Fengzhu to look at him, Fang Yiai was depressed, he was like a prisoner, but those women were chatting so happily. The door was open, and I don't know when a little boy wearing a purple and gold crown walked in with a shake of his head, looking at his pink carved appearance, like a porcelain doll, Fang Yiai knew that it was an imposter at a glance, "Little son, how did you inherit this appearance?" ”

"Ah, beloved brother, do you recognize it?" The little boy's mouth was flattened, the fan was thrown, and he ran over with a jump, who is that cute look? Pinched Fang's beloved face, Li Mingda wrinkled his little nose and said, "Hehe, beloved brother, am I handsome in this dress?" This is my sister dressed me, she said she can't come in person, let me bring a word for her! ”

Looking at Li Mingda's appearance, Fang Yiai blinked and smiled, "What's the matter, good words or bad words, don't say anything if it's not a good thing!" ”

Li Mingda stuckred at him with his hands behind his back and glared dissatisfiedly, "Then how can it be, listen, my sister said, from now on, you will be a big man!" ”

"That's all?" Fang Yiai's love is inexplicable, this Changle is also true, wasn't he a big man before?

Linglong covered her mouth and laughed, seeing that Li Mingda had the intention of being a komit bear again, she immediately stepped forward and coaxed Li Mingda over, "Your Highness, the second young master is going to perform a crown salute in a while, don't mess up his clothes!" ”

"Sister Linglong, Mingda understands!" Li Mingda nodded smartly, and looked at the Wen sisters thoughtfully, and after reading it, he lowered his head and muttered, "It seems that oh, will you admit your mistake?" ”

Li Mingda's voice was too small, the small one was like a mosquito humming, Fang Fengzhu didn't bother to pay attention to this little princess, and when she heard Fang De say hello, she smiled at Fang Yiai, "Stinky boy, what are you still doing in a daze, don't go out yet, the crown ceremony is about to start!" ”

"Oh!" As soon as Fang Yiai was discharged from the hospital, he took a dustpan and started all kinds of bumps, and there were really a lot of etiquette, and there were several procedures just to enter the yard. Entering the courtyard, through the aisle, Fang Yiai saw the host on the steps, and when he saw the appearance of this person, Fang Yiai almost screamed, isn't this the black-faced emperor Li Shimin, could it be that Li Shimin's idle egg pain ran over to preside over the crown ceremony? Not to mention Fang Xuanling's love, even Fang Xuanling and others didn't expect Li Shimin to come to preside over the crown ceremony, this is the first time in the Tang Dynasty several times.

Fang Yiai knelt on the left, knelt on the right, knelt after his parents, knelt his brothers and sisters, anyway, he didn't know how many heads he kowtowed, and his knees hurt in the end. Li Shimin held a big yellow cloth and shook his head as a reader, "Do your best to fill the way of Zhou Wu and fill in the glory of ten thousand years." Less or not long, the heart is unknown, all are children, they are all children, they are talking about their parents' kindness, now there is Fang's bereavement, the majestic posture, and the special crown "A lot of Tang Dynasty version of classical Chinese, Fang's bereavement is confused, except for his own name, I didn't understand anything else, after a period of torment, Li Shimin finally muttered. This is also a sigh of relief, and if this scripture continues to be read, he will have to sleep.

Hey, it's not easy to make a crown salute!
