(I think this chapter is very well written, haha~~)

In a blink of an eye, it is the second day of the lunar month, which is the day of Shen Du and the crown. From the beginning of Shen Shi, many people appeared on Yanxi Street one after another, including officials, merchants, and ordinary people, followed by servants holding congratulatory gifts, and poured into the Shen family like a tide.

Shen Su is the emperor's teacher, Shen Du is a member of the Zhongshu House, and his identity and status are here, and the Jingzhao officials all know that Shen Du's crown banquet is to give gifts. After the emperor and the nobles in the palace sent congratulatory gifts to the Shen family, they knew very well that this banquet was coming, and they had to prepare the gift and come in person!

Which of these officials is not a human spirit? The emperor is extremely generous to Shen Du, how dare they slack off? Even Zong Zhengqing Zhu Youluo endured the pain in his flesh and paid Shen Du to buy a piece of Longyan Duan inkstone as a congratulatory gift.

Originally, the officials thought to themselves that they had already taken this matter seriously enough to prepare a congratulatory gift and come in person, but after they didn't want to go to the Shen family, they found that many bigwigs in the DPRK and China did not just value this matter.

In addition to Shen Du, those sitting in the front hall to greet the guests for the Shen family were Lu Qing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Du Pre, the waiter of the middle book. These two people are both three-grade civil officials in the imperial court, and they are both Jingzhao figures!

But these two people are attracting guests for Shen Du, and they are not embarrassed at all, and their attitudes are naturally familiar!

These two people were not the most surprising to the officials, they were even more stunned when they saw the children standing next to Lu Qing and Du Pre, and they didn't know how to react.

This child is seven or eight years old, wearing a sky blue dragon pattern cloud brocade, and a dragon hanging from his waist. He is slightly chubby, and a pair of big knife eyebrows add a lot of color to him, especially his eyes are sparkling and smiling, which makes him strangely more handsome, and vaguely has the quality of a dragon and a phoenix.

Indeed, this is the dragon son yes! Isn't this the Ninth Highness from An Jieyu? How could he appear here, and greet guests with Lu Qing and Du Pre? The emperor actually attaches so much importance to the Shen family and Shen Du!

It's just a crown ceremony, right? For Mao is His Royal Highness the Ninth is greeting guests? There were thousands of horses galloping in the court's mind, and his face began to turn weird.

They began to wonder if the salute they had prepared earlier was light. Officials with a clever mind. He had ordered his servants to hurry home at once. Packed the Shou Shan Tian yellow freeze in the warehouse and sent it to the Shen family.

If it is anything else, it is easy to say, but this ability to see the trend of the wind can be regarded as the housekeeping skill of Jingzhao officials. So there was such a picture in the Shen family: many servants accompanied by officials casually found a reason to rush home.

Shen Du watched the movements of these officials and servants. Just want to shake your head. Such. Not at all necessary. He has already made up his mind, and he will never accept too expensive gifts.

No merit, no virtue. He's just going to be crowned, what are you doing with such a big scene? According to Shen Du's original intention, the crown is not a big deal, it is good to simply invite Lu Qing and others to come and testify, there is no need to be so grand and exaggerated.

However, Shen Su thought that the crown was an extremely important matter, and insisted on handling this matter in a big way, and he also wanted to post to many people in Jingzhao, inviting them to participate in this major event of the Shen family and witness Shen Du's crowning.

When Shen Du objected, Shen Du just looked at him with pity, and then sighed: "If it weren't for those things back then, your crown ceremony would have been congratulated by everyone at the Jingzhao event, how could you not do it now?" ”

As soon as Shen Du heard this, he couldn't say anything against it. Shen Su treated him as kindly as this, and held a crown ceremony to give him grand honor, which was a heart of sincere love. With such a heart, Shen Du couldn't refuse.

For this reason, Shen Su also entered the palace to beg Emperor Chongde, and asked to borrow the Taiguan to order Meng Shaoyan to use it, but still for the Shen family who did not have the ability to hold this banquet, he asked Meng Shaoyan to take care of Shen Du's crown banquet on his behalf.

Emperor Chongde approved Shen Su's request, and was willing to add icing on the cake and sent a congratulatory gift to the Shen family, which was a great deal of face for Shen Su, the emperor.

Not only Shen Su, but even Lu Qing and Du Pre all thought that Shen Du's crown ceremony should be solemn, and they also took a hand in it with high interest, as if they were preparing for a crown ceremony for their children and grandchildren.

Lu Qing personally prepared auspicious clothes such as clothes and Xuanduan for Shen Du, and carefully prepared ritual utensils such as Zheng Qi and Pu mats, and everything was passed over and over again to ensure that nothing was lost;

Du Pre assisted Shen Su in selecting the crowned guest, and the one who wore the first crown for Shen Du Yijia was naturally Shen Su, which was completely unnecessary.

They finally selected Zhongshu Ling Pei Gongfu as the guest of honor of the three plus, and the wine of the Guozi Festival Ye Duan as the guest of the second plus, these two people have a great reputation in the court, and they have flourishing children and grandchildren under their knees, so it is the most suitable for Shen Du to be crowned.

It stands to reason that the noble dukes such as Duke An Guo and Duke Cheng Guo are the best candidates to crown the children of officials, but Shen Su and Du Yu did not consider these people at all when they were choosing, but chose to crown the powerful ministers in the court.

Everything they did for Shen Du, every snack they used for Shen Du, Shen Du saw it in his eyes, which made him feel grateful and choked until he burst into tears.

Shen Su, Lu Qing, Du Yu and other people have never inherited the kindness of his father and ancestors, and even have different political views from his father and ancestors, and they did not get along with each other back then. But now, these people treat him no differently than the children and grandchildren of his family.

In the final analysis, it is all the blessings accumulated by his father and ancestors, which have benefited him to this day. Although he has no father, mother, family and clan, what Shen Du is moved by at this moment is not sadness and pain, but boundless luck, because of these people......

Shen Du was immersed in his thoughts, and suddenly felt that his clothes were gently pulled, he subconsciously looked at his side, and saw Zhu Xuanzhi looking at him, with some worry in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Xuanzhi saw that Shen Du's eyes were red and seemed to be sad, so he asked in a low voice, holding back the title of "teacher".

He went to the Zichen Palace to ask Emperor Chongde, saying that he wanted to repay Shen Du for saving his life at that time, and to add honor to him and the crown gift, so that he could come to the Shen family to be busy, and he also asked An Jieyu to send congratulatory gifts to the Shen family, all to celebrate Shen Du and the crown.

Although Zhu Xuan knows his age, he knows that the crown ceremony is very important. He didn't have anything to do with it except himself, so he stabbed to the Shen family to greet the guests with Lu Qing, Du Yu and others, which was his congratulatory gift.

When those officials saw His Highness standing here, how could they look a little bit and give congratulatory gifts a little heavier, right? -- The original Zhu Xiaofat man had such a little abacus.

Shen Du looked at Zhu Xuanzhi's handsome face, blinked, and a warm current surged through his heart. I almost forgot, and Zhu Xiaofat. He was for his own crowning ceremony. A lot of effort has also been made. For example, running around the palace wall every day is to get rid of the fat on your body and make yourself look pleasing to the eye; Like what. Forced and soft to let An Jieyu give gifts to the Shen family. Wait a minute.

This little disciple. is really an interesting person, especially the way he is worried and afraid of him at the moment, which makes Shen Du even more happy. That little bit of darkness was knocked out like that.

"I'm fine, His Highness the Ninth take good care of yourself." Shen Du patted his hand and said. With that, he noticeably felt that the front hall was quiet, and then his eyes looked at the door, and then half-narrowed.

The son of Changyin came, and with the servant boy who cooked tea, he appeared at the Shen family and sent a congratulatory gift to Shen Du. As soon as he appeared, the noisy front hall fell silent. He was still dressed in a moon-white robe with long sleeves, like an immortal in the world, bringing all the prosperity and brilliance of the world to the Shen family.

He slowly approached Shen Du with a smile, took out something from his sleeve, handed it to Shen Du, and said with a smile: "Today is the big day of Lord Shen and the crown, and this is my congratulatory gift to you." ”

The congratulatory gift he took out turned out to be a wooden slingshot, with two tendons tied to a piece of leather, which looked very simple, as if it was a child's play, and it looked like it was a valuable gift.

Shen Du smiled "haha", quickly took the gift, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Changyin Gongzi actually gave me this thing, why are you so stingy?" ”

Shen Du was dressed in a dark robe, and said with a smile, his eyes flowed, and his demeanor was on par with that of Changyin Gongzi, they were black and white, and they were all first-class characters in the eyes of the court officials.

Changyin Gongzi had been staring at Shen Du's expression, seeing that his expression didn't seem to have changed, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart for a while, so he said lightly: "This is the most valuable gift I have given to Lord Shen." ”

He still had a smile on his face, and the emptiness in his eyes flashed as quickly as if he had never appeared. In the eyes of everyone, he is the noble son of the Anguo Mansion, and he still makes people feel comfortable and calm.

"Changyin Gongzi here, please, Lord Shen should also go and change into auspicious clothes, and the time of the crown will start soon." Lu Qing, who was watching them intently from the side, approached Changyin Gongzi and said with a smile.

Then he led the young man to sit down in front of the hall, Shen Du didn't say anything more, slid the wooden slingshot into his sleeve, and turned around and walked towards the inner room of the South Garden.

The next thing is the same as the process of Jingzhao Gaomen's disciples and crowns, and there is not much to say. Shen Duqiang endured the excitement in his heart, knelt respectfully in front of Shen Su and crowned it, and then kowtowed a few times, and everything he wanted to say in his heart was in these few rings.

When Pei Gongfu tied the crown belt for Shen Du, he sang "The family abandons the young ambition, and the Shuner becomes virtuous." Shou Kao Wei prays, Jieer Jingfu. After that, Shen Su, Lu Qing and the others felt relieved by Lao Huai, and they felt a sour look in their eyes, so they had to turn their backs to cover it up - but when they saw that the child was crowned, they shed tears, and they really didn't accept the old man!

And the guest of honor, Pei Gongfu, patted Shen Du's shoulder and said, "Jizhi, it's very good, it's very good!" ”

After the crown, it is called a word, in order to show its virtue, this sound "counting" is Shen Du's table word, which is for Shen Su, who is his father and teacher, to express his expectations for Shen Du.

Shen Du, the word counts. Shen, Du and calculated, as Pei Gongfu said, it is really good, haha- Shen Du straightened the crown on his head, and thought like this.

That night, this classmate Shen Jizhi received one of the most precious gifts at the head of the wall of the Qibi Courtyard. But for Gu Yan, these gifts were the best congratulatory gifts she gave to Shen Du!

(Chapter Extra: In fact, a young official like Shen Du is an official, strictly speaking, the crown ceremony was held in advance at the age of twelve or thirteen, but here for the needs of the plot, it is not complied with, haha.) Writing this chapter is also a bit sour, because of Shen Du's life experience, hehe. (To be continued......)
