Chapter 39: Crown ceremony

On the sixth day of the sixth day, it is appropriate to crown the temple, worship, and banquet friends. It was early in the morning that Shen Yanbei got up to prepare for the crowning.
The crowning ceremony is very tedious to study carefully. First, you have to make a fortune in front of the entrance of the ancestral hall, choose an auspicious day as the day of the crown ceremony and select the guests to participate in the crown ceremony. Later, the father and brother introduced the ancestral temple to sacrifice to heaven and earth and ancestors. Before the ceremony is held, the personnel participating in the ceremony must bathe and fast. On the day of the ceremony, the recipient of the crown should display the toilet utensils, crown clothes, toiletry items and wine rituals needed in the process of the crown ceremony, and then go to welcome the guests who crowned the crown...
The crowning ceremony is held in the ancestral temple, and the person who helps the crowning person comb his hair with a comb, roll up the bun, and wrap the bun with a black ribbon. The guests gave a congratulatory speech to the crowned person and then crowned him three times, which not only brought three hats of different materials and three meanings to the crowned person. And every time the crown is crowned, the guests have to express different wishes to the crown recipient. The crown recipient must go back to the room and put on clothes of different colors before accepting the next crowning.
After the ceremony, a banquet will be held. There are many small details on the banquet. For example, the recipient of the crown drank alcohol and food, sacrificed to the ancestors, used the etiquette of adults and guests to see the ceremony, saw the mother and then took the words, etc.
The original owner's parents are no longer there, and he is not a noble child, this crowning ceremony makes everything simple.
The staff is streamlined and the links are streamlined.
The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle, and the willow shoots are singing.
In front of the ancestral hall of the Shen family in Shenjia Village, villagers from various villages came to watch the ceremony.
Several tables and chairs were placed in front of the open space on the west side of the steps of the ancestral hall. Village Chief Shen Dezhong sat on the third chair, frowning.
The sand in the hourglass shed little by little, but the guests who came to the ceremony were nowhere to be seen, and Shen Dezhong couldn't help but feel anxious.
Shen Yanbei was crowned today. He had already greeted the chief and the village chiefs of several nearby villages before, but the auspicious hour was almost over, and no one came!
"The village chief!" A man ran to Shen Dezhong's side panting and whispered in his ear.
"The chief is not at home, his family said that Li Juren from Lijia Village sent someone over early in the morning to call the chief away!"
"What?" Shen Dezhong opened his eyes slightly, his forehead bounced with blue veins.
Another teenager also hurried over: "The village chief, the village chief of Liujiacun is not at home. His next neighbor said that he saw people from Lijiacun and he followed the people from Lijiacun!"
One after another, the villagers sent out by Shen Dezhong to invite people came back. No one was invited. The original guests were called to Lijiacun without exception!
"Unreasonable!" Shen Dezhong slapped the armrest fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "It's such a bully!"
Because of the theft from the villagers of Lijiacun that day, Shen Yanbei tried to carry out his charges and took Li Yi’s face and sent him to the government. He worried that Li Juren would not come. He didn’t expect that this person would come to observe the ceremony. The people are called away, extremely narrow-minded! The heart is so cruel!
How can this be good? Shen Dezhong looked at the empty table beside him, his expression unreadable.
"Why no one has come yet?"
"That's right! This hour has already arrived, right?"
The villagers onlookers talked aloud, all looking at these empty positions strangely.
Shen Dezhong suppressed the anger in his heart and hurriedly got up to find Shen Yanbei.
Shen Yanbei, who was about to change clothes out of the room, opened his hands and smiled at Gu Changfeng, who lowered his head in front of him to tie his shirt and belt.
The man lowered his eyes, awkwardly tied his hands and feet to the belt, and his slightly trembling fingers exposed his uneasy heart.
The day of crowning is the day of adulthood, and his husband will be a real man after the ceremony.
The weak scholar who was still lying in the hospital bed yesterday turned into a gentle gentleman who was as gentle as a jade, and his body shape kept changing, but the young man's eyes did not change when he saw him. Just as the youth said I like you and I will treat you well, the youth always makes him feel that he is liked and valued by the other party.
The youth used his not generous chest to build a warm harbor for himself, and his weak arms to prop up himself a piece of sky...
"Shen Yan!"
An angry voice interrupted Gu Changfeng's thoughts. As soon as the two turned their heads, they saw Shen Dezhong with an angry face.
"What's wrong with Uncle Zhong?" Shen Yanbei asked.
Shen Dezhong said angrily: "All the guests were called away by Li Juren! None of the invited guests came!"
"Too despicable and shameless!" Zhou Yu exclaimed in anger.
Gu Changfeng pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and his black eyes sparkled with anger.
Shen Yanbei frowned slightly, and pondered for a while and said, "The guest's seat cannot be left empty. Uncle Lao Zhong helped me invite all the senior elders in the village." The original host's direct elders are gone, so the guest list is only invited. Li Yi, the chief, and other village chiefs and others, now that these people are not coming, he can only invite the elders in the village.
Shen Dezhong sighed: "It can only be so." After that, he hurriedly arranged for someone to invite someone.
The look in Gu Changfeng's eyes was cold, and his face was tense. Shen Yanbei took his hand and calmly said: "You're not angry, you won't come if you don't come, and I don't care for them to come."
Gu Changfeng's voice was dumb: "How can he!" Guanli once in his life, how dare he insult his husband like this!
Shen Yanbei kissed him distressedly: "It's okay, it's just a line. I can afford to lose!"
"What's wrong, what happened?" Su Qingze, who noticed that the atmosphere of the ceremony suddenly became weird, hurriedly grabbed Zhou Yu and asked angrily. After understanding the whole story, Su Qingze was also shocked by Li Yi's methods.
"This...is too vicious?"
"Then Li Juren can't protect his villagers from holding a grudge, so he can calculate our son like this!"
"Why is this Li Juren again?" Ming An snorted, eyes full of disgust. "Master, we can't let him succeed!"
Su Qingze nodded. Last time I was humiliated by the two in the restaurant because this Li Juren was behind him. He stayed in Shenjiacun for so long, and he heard a lot of people from Lijiacun who oppressed Shenjiacun. In the final analysis, it was because of Li Juren's connivance and shelter.
Big Brother Gu and Big Brother Shen are both his friends, and they must not be bullied by Li Juren!
The front of the ancestral hall is noisy.
"Why did you change?"
"Yes, why are there no other guests here?"
"Could it be that no one wants to come?"
Seeing that the elders of Shenjiacun were invited to the seats, the people watching the ceremony were full of discussions.
"Young Master Su from Qinghe, Qingzhou, here!" Suddenly someone sang loudly and everyone was stunned.
Someone asked: "Qingzhou Qinghe? What is this?"
A villager who knew a little bit replied: "Qinghe is Qinghe County, the capital of Qingzhou!"
"Then this Su family?"
"The Su family is a famous family in Qinghe County, and the former prime minister Su came from the Su family in Qinghe..."
Unbelievable, this is a big shot! Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly cast their gazes on the path. I saw a gold-stranded shoe, dressed in a brocade robe with auspicious clouds outlined in gold and silver threads, with a white jade pendant on the waist, holding a folding fan of incense sandalwood, and awe-inspiring awe-inspiring gestures... the young fat man was surprised by everyone. He sat calmly in the guest's first seat originally assigned to Li Yi.
Shen Qikui, who was watching the ceremony, stared in disbelief.
OMG! Such a precious little son actually lived in his house!
The village head Shen Dezhong was also stunned.
"Su... Young Master Su?"
Su Qingze tried his best to show off the style of a family prince, and gently nodded: "Village chief, is the good time now? Why not start saluting?"
"Ok...Okay!" Shen Dezhong was greatly relieved, and was about to ask Zhou Yu to ask Shen Yanbei to come out. Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man holding a brocade box appeared in front of everyone.
The person who came was not someone else, but the steward who came with Su Qingze last time.
The steward looked a little anxious, and looked a little loose after seeing Guanli.
Seeing steward, Su Qingze's eyes lit up: "Steward Li!"
Guan Shi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Su."
Su Qingze glanced at the brocade box in his hand and asked, "What is this?"
The steward smiled and said: "The adult can't get out, so the villain was specially ordered to come to congratulate Shen Xiucai. The carriage broke down on the road, and the meeting was delayed."
housekeeper? grown ups?
After hearing the conversation between the two, everyone was dumbfounded. Shen Dezhong was also at a loss: "Who is your adult?"
"My adult is the newly appointed magistrate of Li County." The manager smiled slightly.
Everyone was shocked again! The county grandfather actually sent his housekeeper to congratulate Shen Yanbei? Then Li Juren didn't have this treatment back then!
Shen Dezhong was surprised and delighted, and quickly got up and asked the housekeeper to sit down.
"It's good time--" Zhou Yu sang loudly, and everyone was quiet.
A thin young man dressed in white silk slowly walked out and knelt under the steps. Su Qingze immediately stood beside him and combed his hair into a bun. After Su Qingze wrapped the cloth in the bun, the kind-faced Shen Dezhong took the cloth crown from Zhou Yu and put it on the youth...
Wear a crown and change clothes once, and after the third crowning, the youth returns to the room to change clothes again.
"Let's go out with me for a toast?" Shen Yanbei leaned forward and asked Gu Changfeng, who put him on a light cyan shirt.
"Okay." The heat spraying to his ears made Gu Changfeng involuntarily shrink back, and when he raised his head, he couldn't help but stop.
The young people surrounded by layers of brocade clothes are different from the usual gentle scholars.
The young man in front of him looked very precious, as if he should have been like this. But when the corner of the young man’s mouth was bent, his temperament changed and he became lazy...
"Does it look good?" Shen Yanbei chuckled lightly.
Gu Changfeng nodded blankly: "It looks good..."
Shen Yanbei hooked his lips with satisfaction: "Then we go out?"
"……it is good."
When everyone saw Shen Yanbei again, the young man stood upright on the steps in a costume. Although those eyebrows are still those eyebrows, there is an inexplicable momentum in the youth's eyes, which makes people afraid to take a peek. The man standing beside him had a calm face, as peaceful as Mount Tai. Although the two of them are slightly different in body shape, they stand together as harmonious as green trees and green hills. Especially between the two people's eye contact, it seems that water flows around the green hills, and everything is clear to their hearts in silence.
Everyone could see the gods for a while, and Shen Dezhong coughed slightly and let Shen Yanbei sit in.
The original host’s parents are dead and there are no brothers and sisters, so many links are missing. Shen Dezhong immediately announced Shen Yanbei’s words and greetings. Shen Yanbei thanked the guests one by one, and invited everyone to have a drink as the host.
Since then, the crown ceremony has ended smoothly.
