After walking out of Cao Bao's mansion, Guo Jiaxiao leaned forward and closed.

Since he was captured by Tao Shangsheng, he hasn't been so happy for a long time.

"Congratulations to Tao Taiping, I visited the two families today, not only did I do my best, but I was also sent forward by someone on the pole, which is really a blessing and is really enviable."

The potter snorted and said slowly: "They all have their own plans, and they have their own plans to take advantage of me, what is there to envy?" …… Also, what the hell is Tao Taiping, don't call me that. ”

Guo Jia smiled evenly, and only then did he say: "Your first county guard, although you want to set up another force of your own in Danyang County, but without the support of the local scholars in Xuzhou, it is still impossible to say, since the Mi family and the Cao family have taken the initiative to cling to and want to get married, you still have to weigh this matter to some extent, and you can't provoke them too hard." ”

Hearing this, the potter nodded, he knew in his heart that although Cao Bao and Mi Zhu wanted to marry on the surface, what it contained was a profound political idea.

Therefore, it is difficult to be a son.

……

……

Tao Qian's speed of work was very fast, and three days later, he immediately began to arrange the crown ceremony of the pottery merchant.

The crown ceremony is a kind of ancient Jiali, the men's crown ceremony, the women's ceremony, implemented in the Zhou Dynasty, since the beginning of the Zhou system, the man to the twenty lines of the crown salute, but this is not applicable among the princes of the Son of Heaven, in history the princes of the Son of Heaven in order to be able to rule as soon as possible, most of them are early to salute, it is rumored that King Wen of Zhou is twelve years old and crowned, and the king is fifteen years old and crowned, are relatively precocious.

Within 10 days before the crowning ceremony, the recipient of the crown should first divinate the auspicious day and choose the auspicious day to be crowned.

The ancients had multiple superstitions, so this auspicious day is very important.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

In the hall of the Assassin's Mansion, the Xiao Po, who was hired by Tao Qian with a high salary, was shaking the turtle shell in her hand, chanting words in her mouth, looking like she was chattering, asking the heavens for divination.

Tao Qian and Tao Ying both stared at the Xiao Po nervously, their nervous palms sweating.

The pottery merchant didn't care, he was just bored watching the Xiao Po sell crazy, and when he was bored, he yawned, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Tao Qian would cut him if he heard it.

When he was young, after the divination was completed, she put the turtle shell on the table, and frowned and looked serious about her own trigram.

"How?"

Tao Qian looked very nervous, the importance of the day of the crown ceremony, in Tao Qian's view, is very important, the ancient crown ceremony must choose an auspicious day, if the day of the crown ceremony is not auspicious, it is an infinite postponement, and must not be able to salute on the day of the great evil.

This is the etiquette and the rule.

Xiao Po stared closely at the copper coins on the table, and only after three cups of tea did she raise her head, shook her head and said: "Envoy, if it is not an auspicious day after ten days, you must not salute, if you forcibly worship the temple, I am afraid that there will be a bad omen." ”

Tao Qian sighed and shook his head regretfully.

The potter glared at the woman viciously, and his eyes almost popped out.

Old pious woman, you only have a bra.

Hearing this, Tao Qian sighed and said helplessly: "Since this is the case, it seems that this crown ceremony will have to be postponed later...... As you see it, when is the best time for this day? ”

The Po squinted her eyes, pinched her fingers for a while, and calculated for a long time before she said quietly: "Three months later, Fang is an auspicious month." ”

As soon as the potter heard this, the sweat on his head instantly remained.

Trimester?

What are you kidding, old pious woman? Do you know what the situation of the princes' circle is now?

Everyone is racing against time to expand their power, three months later? …… The daylilies are cold!

It's ridiculous, I promised, my dad didn't say yes.

"Okay, three months from now." Tao Qian still took the old woman's words very seriously, and agreed without hesitation.

What could be more important in the world than the auspicious day of the son's crown.

Tao Qian was like no one, but the pottery merchant was in a hurry, seeing that the Xiao woman was about to get up and leave after taking the hexagram money, the pottery merchant hurriedly said to Tao Qian: "Father, wait for the child to send the master to the father." ”

Tao Qian waved his hand and signaled that it was okay.

The potter then followed the Po out of the main hall.

As soon as Fang left the hall, he saw that the potter hurriedly stopped in front of the po, and said to her in a low voice: "Go back!" ”

Hearing this, Po Xiao was stunned for a moment, and looked at the potter in confusion.

"Tell my father that he miscalculated just now, and say that ten days will be auspicious!"

Xiao Po grew her mouth in surprise: "Tao Gongzi must not mess around, how can there be a mistake in calculating the auspicious day of the heavenly fortune?" ”

"Twenty bucks."

Xiao Po's head shook like a rattle: "Ji is auspicious, fierce is fierce, how can you change it at will?" ”

"Thirty dollars."

Xiao Po sighed: "Tao Gongzi, aren't you forcing the old man to deceive people?" ”

"Fifty dollars, no more."

……

……

"What? Miscalculated? Tao Qian looked at the Xiao Po who returned to the hall in surprise, his face was full of surprise: "Ask the heavens to divinate the hexagram, the auspicious day of the zodiac, is it also wrong?" ”

"Uh......" Xiao Po is also the first time in her life to tell a hexagram and regret it, I don't know how to answer, fortunately, there is a potter on the side to relieve her.

"Father, calculating the heavenly machine, calculating the good luck and evil, it was originally a very high-risk and highly professional job, and it was reasonable for the Po to be blinded for a while, but fortunately she woke up in time and recalculated, only to know that ten days later is the auspicious day of the year, otherwise this good day is for us to miss."

"Really?" Tao Qian glanced back and forth at the two of them suspiciously, and said quietly: "You two changed your tone after going out, shouldn't you have come back to Old Man Meng on purpose?" ”

The potter shook his head vigorously: "Of course not!" On the day of the child's own crown ceremony, how can it be used as a joke, such as today's chaos, the world and the heavenly machine are also confused due to personnel, and God also has a nap, it is normal for a little bias to occur. ”

Tao Qian was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "In this way, ten days later is really a good day?" ”

Hearing this, the potter smiled and said, "That's natural, and the Po is willing to guarantee with her own life." ”

When the woman heard this, she almost jumped up in a hurry, why did she talk about it and pull her own life? Did you kid make me change my mind? If you want to gamble, you should also gamble your own life!

Xiao Po was about to open her mouth to object, but met the potter's kind gaze. There was a naked threat in that kind gaze.

But this kid is polite, but it's really interesting - maybe, looking at the fifty dollars and this look, the old god doesn't care about him.

After all, it was the words of the grandmother that had some weight in Tao Qian's heart, and after the old lady deduced it for him again, she finalized the truth for Tao Qian again - it was indeed good luck ten days later.

At this moment, it was only then that Tao Qian's mind was forgotten, and the pottery merchant was secretly relieved.

After setting the date of the crown ceremony ten days later, the potter once again sent the pod out of the hall, and the pom was very refreshing, and directly reached out to ask the potter for the promise of fifty dollars.

The potter was even more refreshing, and wrote a note to her on the spot, asking her to go to Mi Mansion to find Mi Fang to cash in.

……

……

The so-called crown is the beginning of the ceremony, and the weight of the good deeds.

Although in the eyes of the potters, this is just a simple coming-of-age ceremony, in the eyes of the ancients, the crown ceremony is a very important event in life.

For some people, it is more important than a dead father.

It is somewhat exaggerated, but at least it is much more important than the entry into the Young Pioneers in later generations, because this is a ceremony that symbolizes the coming-of-age of men, not all men are eligible to receive the crown ceremony when they are adults, first of all, the age must be appropriate, generally over 16 years old, under 20 years old, and furthermore, the men who receive the ceremony must also have a certain social status.

Not every cat or dog can get this kind of honor.

The potter is actually quite resistant to this matter in his heart, after the crown ceremony, he means that he is an adult, no longer belongs to the category of teenagers, and he has to bear legal responsibility for doing things, and he can't fool people casually.

I don't know if I can still talk nonsense like I used to.

In the early morning of the crown ceremony, the potter was still asleep dimly, but he was woken up by a strong shake.

In the past few days, the potter has been planning how to run Danyang County almost day and night, and he has written a big box of policy slips alone.

Under the premise of working so hard, Tao Gongzi obviously lacked sleep.

In a hazy and dim way, I heard Tao Ying shouting in a panic: "Big brother, get up quickly!" It's the big day of your crown, why are you still sleeping?! ”

The potter was confused, and he raised his foot and wanted to kick.

Compared with a year ago, Tao Ying was obviously much more dexterous, and when he saw the potter's anger coming up again, he jumped back dexterously.

After kicking the air in the air, the potter rubbed his drowsy temples with his fingers in surprise, straightened up and looked at Tao Ying in a daze.

"Second brother, what are you jumping?"

Tao Ying sniffed, raised his eyebrows and said, "You are so murderous in your dreams, I am afraid of splashing blood when I jump away." ”

The wind blew in outside the door, and the potter's consciousness began to gradually sober up.

This kid has grown knowledge, and he should really be impressed by Shibei for three days.

"Early this morning, are you going to do the crown salute?"

Tao Ying nodded vigorously, ran forward and grabbed the potter's arm, and said in a panic: "Isn't it, everyone else has set off to your temple, and you are still sleeping here!" Change your clothes! ”

Tao Hong, the housekeeper, had already sent someone to send the Xuan Guan, black clothes, tie belts, Su Yun and other things, and several people hurriedly put them on for the pottery merchant, and they pulled him out of the door without washing his face.

The loss is that Tao Qian personally went to pick up Wang Yun and Huangfu Song early in the morning to go to your temple, otherwise seeing the pottery merchant delaying things so much, the old man couldn't say that he would have to play a set of pumping marksmanship with him again.

After dressing in a daze, the housekeeper Tao Hong ordered someone to set up the carriage, and the two brothers immediately got into the carriage and went towards the temple at a gallop.

On the way, the potter couldn't help complaining about Tao Ying: "Second brother, for my brother to stay up late every day to do business, I can't get up when I sleep late, can't you come over to greet me earlier?" I had to be called up when I was in a hurry, and I was delayed. ”

Tao Ying was very ashamed: "Big brother, don't blame me, if I hadn't held my urine this morning, I might not have gotten up earlier than you, and today was a complete coincidence." ”

Potter: "......"
