Chapter 231: Shiguan Ceremony
Faced with Zhao Ying's sudden questioning, Zhao Wuxian was slightly stunned, and then raised his head, only to see that at the top of the corridor of the temple, there were several murals with different contents:
The father was the king of Zhou Mu, and took him to trek in the legendary land of quicksand, to the snow-capped mountain Kunlun, to pick Yuzhi jade, and to see the country of the Queen Mother of the West in Tianchi. In the end, he galloped thousands of miles, killed the country of Huaiyi, destroyed the king of Xu Yan, and was sealed in Zhao Cheng for his merits, as the Zhao family. The colors of this painting are gorgeous, and the lines are flowing and abstract.
The sixth grandson of the father was the emperor of Zhou Xuan, and he desperately escorted the Son of Heaven to escape in the battle of a thousand acres. The colors of this painting are bloody, and the lines are realistic, reflecting the period before the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Hundreds of rivers are boiling, and the mountains and mounds are collapsing".
Later, Zhao Yuan, the son of Cheng, accompanied the exiled princes of Jin Wengong, served as his humerus, served as the master of ceremonies in Chu and Qin, and helped Chong'er answer the aggressive questions of the King of Chu and Qin Bo between the folding and punching bottles, and was praised as Zhiwen. The colors of this painting are plain, the lines are soft, and the characters appear to be polite and polite.
They are silently telling the history and glory of the Zhao family.
As a traverser, in such a solemn and solemn occasion, in the face of Zhao Ying's direct question, he changed to someone else, and he was often weak and at a loss......
But Zhao Wuxian is different, he was also a descendant of the Zhao family in his previous life, and at this moment, he felt the protection and blessing of his ancestors, as if he was at ease, and he couldn't see the slightest difference.
He said slowly: "I heard that my father once had a dream that he was invited by the Emperor of Heaven to swim in the Nine Heavens...... I remember that at the turn of October last year, when the kid had a minor illness, he also had a dream. ”
Zhao Wuxian made a reminiscence, and began to slowly talk about the half-exaggerated and half-realistic life of the later generations.
"The place in the boy's dream is also like a fairyland. I am afraid that my father could not imagine it: thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and tens of millions of people live in a city, and they rarely teach. Something to rely on. Everyone can read and write, or listen to the sages in the hall where the lights are lit all night. or wantonly play with clever things, and live a happier life than the princes of great powers. ”
"There, porcelain was as common and cheap as pottery bowls, and I used to drive a canopy car that could travel thousands of miles a day without horsepower. After eating the morning food in Xinjiang, you can take the iron bird, go up to 90,000 miles, and fly to Yingcheng to arrange a banquet. Then go to Linzi to watch the temple fair. The iron arrows there can be fired without arm strength or bowstrings, and they are as miserable as bees; Every war is a contest of fireworks and thunder and lightning, earth-shattering, and if something goes wrong, millions of corpses will be ambushed......"
Zhao Ying listened blankly, his mouth slightly open. Originally, after he fainted for seven days, the prophecies made up to the doctors based on vague dreams were already very strange and magical, and he was also slightly proud of his imagination.
Who would have heard it today. It is beyond the scope of imagination and acceptance.
"Some of the boy's whimsy and ingenuity are partly seen by chance in his dreams, and as for the boy's temperament, ......"
Zhao Wuxian bowed down to Zhao Ying and bowed again: "The fish swims in the water." Birds swim in the clouds, and in the beginning of winter, the finches enter the sea and turn into clams. Everything is changed, and so are people, and if something happens, there will be a change in temperament. So after the kid experienced the dream, he was like a bird that broke out of the egg and changed......"
Zhao Ying was right when he thought about it, he was in a coma for seven days. After experiencing the threshold of life and death, I have also realized and changed.
"I see." He bowed slightly. accepted Zhao Wuxian's explanation, and at the same time also gave Gu Bu Ziqing's divination. There are even more convincing words that even I believe a little bit.
"Regardless of whether the fairyland in the dream is true or not, but what Wuxian has learned from it is indeed very useful, maybe this is providence? Wuxian is the son of the Zhao clan given to me by the emperor and ancestors of heaven, the future true general......"
It's like the king of Chuzhuang who has been dormant for three years, if he doesn't make a sound, he will be a blockbuster, and if he doesn't fly, he will soar into the sky!
After solving the doubts in his heart, Zhao Ying led Wuxian into the house and informed the ancestors of the news of his adulthood.
In the shrine, the tablet of Jingzi Zhao Cheng is enshrined, and the smokeless whale paste is burning on the copper lampstand, and the fragrance is fragrant, and the interior is also brightly lit.
From early in the morning, the ceremony of "Chenfu" is completed.
The bronze ritual vessels used for the sacrifice have long been polished gold, and the dried meat and meat sauce are served in the beans, and the copper beans are like the plates of later generations, and they are decorated with simple and vivid dragon patterns, and the body is curled in an S shape after end.
The five tripods and four tripods of the specifications of Dr. Qing are neatly arranged, and the tripod is the cow's head pattern hoof foot wok (huo) tripod, which is quite large, with a round mouth, attached ears, a neck, a deep belly, a round bottom, and a three-legged hoof-shaped animal; The tripod is decorated with a crested pattern and a pan claw pattern, and the neck is decorated with a bull's head and a double body bevel pattern, highlighting the classical beauty and grace of the Bronze Age ritual vessels.
Zhao Ying asked Wuxian to wait here with Yousi, and after completing the ceremony of telling the temple, he went out of the temple gate by himself to welcome the guests in.
Listening to the footsteps in the distance, Zhao Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, just now Zhao Ying stared at the tiger and asked like this, in fact, it was still a little scary.
"I will replace Zhao Wuxian and fulfill his wish, and I will also do my duty as a descendant of the Zhao family, so that the ancestors and ancestors will never stop eating blood......," he said to the invisible ancestors of the Zhao family in the temple.
The lamps and candles move without wind, as if in response to shirtlessness.
Three days ago, after Zhao Ying invited the guests, he selected a highly respected person from his wingmen and friends in accordance with the etiquette and once again through the method of divining the Zheng to serve as the crowned guest, which was called "Zheng Bin". On the day of the crown ceremony, the guest of honor must be present, otherwise the ceremony cannot be completed. In addition, a "liker" is also invited, that is, an assistant who assists in the crowning of the guests.
Zhao Wuxian knew who Zhengbin and Zanbin were, and when he finished praying, he turned around and faced south under the guidance of Yousi, just in time to see Zhao Ying entering the two of them, and when they climbed the stairs and entered the hall, they had to be relatively close to each other.
Zanbin is the quasi-father-in-law of the unsympathetic, the Song State Sicheng Leqi. He gradually recovered after Yi Bian Que used the principle of Zhao Wuxian's "fine Gu pathogenic theory" and chose some drugs for treatment. Now that his face was ruddy, his cough was less, and he had regained the appearance of the honest elder, looking at Zhao Wuxian with appreciation and gratitude in his eyes.
Zhengbin, on the other hand, is an old man who has no sympathy and no acquaintance, he is tall and has broad shoulders. Wearing the same dress as Zhao Ying: the Xuan crown reflects the gray hair, and the lower dress wears a jade group with a bear dragon pattern, and his eyes can't see faint flowers at all. The broad palms look like they are dancing with swords all year round, with thick calluses and scattered age spots.
Zhao Ying and Le Qi followed behind him. It's like a young junior.
The old man's appearance and conversation and demeanor impressed Zhao Wuxian, just one look, one ordinary word, Wuxian sensed a trace of dangerous aura and pressure.
"This is the champion today? It's really a tiger father without a dog! ”
On this day, that is, the winter solstice of the ninth year of the Marquis of Jin, Zhao Wuxian finally met with Fan Ying, the ruling Fan of the Jin State, who had shrouded the Jin State and the Zhao family for several years.
As fate would have it. Fan Ying, who was selected as today's guest in the subsequent divination, will be crowned by Zhao Wuxian!
……
After the temple is announced, it is the official coronation ceremony.
The crown hall sits in the north and faces south, there are two steps in the east and west in front of the hall, and the east step is for the master to go up and down the hall, so it is called the main step, or the 阼 (zuo) step; The west step is for guests to go up and down the hall, so it is called the guest step.
When Zhao Wuxian, under the guidance of Youji, ascended the main staircase from the east. The guests were amazed. For the sake of etiquette, they can't talk to each other, they can only look at each other. The meaning is self-explanatory.
The crowned person has a special seat in the hall, and its position varies according to the status, the seat of the eldest son is located on the upper step, and the seat of the concubine is located in the north and east of the hall. As the saying goes, "the son-in-law is crowned in the throne, and the generation is also", above the rank is the position of the master, and the eldest son is crowned here, which is intended to highlight his qualification to replace his father's position in the family in the future.
"Zhao Wuxian is just a concubine, and his mother is lowly. Now he is being treated by Zhao Meng as a son-in-law to crown ......"
Is it overly pampered, or is there some hint of it? Everyone's eyes fell on the face of Zhao Bolu, who came to watch the ceremony. I saw that his face was solemn. Didn't show much dissatisfaction, but in the eyes. But there is a faint discouragement.
Today's weather is fine, the early morning sun is shining on the eaves and stones and Taorui beasts of the palace, Zhao Wuxian feels everyone's eyes on the crown hall, and the three Yousi hold the bamboo fence with the crown, and stand down from the second step of the west step in turn.
There are three kinds of clothes: jue ben (bian) clothes, leather ben clothes, and xuanduan clothes.
There are also three kinds of crowns: cloth crowns, leather crowns, and jue crowns.
Le Qi, who was in charge of the crown, slowly went to the hall and personally placed the turbans, hairpins, combs and other things at the south end of the seat. Zhengbin Fan Ying, with a faint smile, waved his hand at Zhao Wuxian.
"In the past, when Zhao Wenzi was crowned, Martingale was a weeping boy, and his grandfather Fan Wenzi watched the ceremony, and praised him when he returned home, predicting that he would be a righteous emperor one day. And Martingale was also taught by Wenzi, and Jingzi was a friend, a chief official of Zhao Meng, and today he can be a little gentleman crown ceremony, which is really a great honor, and I hope that Fan and Zhao will always be good. ”
Fan Wenzi is indeed a humble gentleman, and when he saw the young Zhao orphan, he inevitably had to nag a little more, but his words were kind. His influence on Zhao Wu seems to be far-reaching, Fan Wenzi educated a Zhao Wenzi, and at that time, the relationship between the Fan and Zhao families was very friendly.
However, this is already the old yellow calendar that has passed by time, and Zhao Wuxian is very vigilant about the ruling of the Jin State, and he doesn't believe half a word of the old jackal's seemingly heartfelt words.
But politics is like this, and the superficial work must be performed.
Zhao Wuxian also pretended to be moved and returned the salute: "In the past, at the crown ceremony of my great-grandfather, Fan Wenzi once said that from now on, we must always guard against impatience and rashness, and the wise will be more cautious when they are favored, and it is arrogant and rude for the foolish to be favored...... Honestly, Fan Wenzi's teachings are also. The boy also hopes to listen to Fan Bo's teachings today. ”
After the politeness, Wuxian sat down impromptuly, and Le Qi also came to say a word to him, and sat behind Wuxian. With the help of Youji, untie the two very two hairpins for him, then twist the hair into a hair bundle, then use a hosta as a shaft, coil the hair strands layer by layer on the hairpin, and then tightly stuff the ends of the hair into the coiled bun, and finally wrap the hair with silk.
This is a hair bundle gift. (To be continued)
