In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and the New Year is approaching, Liu Ze and Zhang Fei returned to Lousang Village. Zhang Fei had already sold his ancestral business, and there was no one at home, and he didn't bother to go home to take a look after returning to Zhuo County, so naturally this year was spent in Lousang Village.

Guan Hai sent people to send New Year's goods and gifts, a lot of food and clothing, grain, oil, rice and noodles, pigs, sheep and beef, and a lot of mountain delicacies, according to the people who sent things, four of the bear paws were obtained by Guan Hai personally hunting a black bear in the mountains. The car was full of cloth and satin, fine wine, dried and fresh fruits, blue and white porcelain, and even the peach charm hanging at the door was ready. Liu Ze couldn't help but smile heartily, this tube looked five big and three thick in front of it, but it was very careful.

Originally, Liu Ze wanted to wait for his eldest brother Liu Bei to come back for the New Year together, but Liu Bei did not return to Zhuo County because of something in the department, and this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten together by Liu Ze and his uncle Liu Yuanqi's family. In addition to the eight guards, Guan Hai specially sent two personal maids and two cooks over. Although Liu Yuanqi is also the number one person in Zhuo County, he was really surprised by the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table, not to mention that he had never seen it, and the tableware used was actually blue and white porcelain. Whether it is in the capital Luoyang or in the local prefectures and counties, blue and white porcelain is a luxury item for dignitaries, and Liu Yuanqi has only seen it in Taishou Mansion. At that time, Taishou was still quite complacent to show off, a piece of blue and white porcelain was worth forty or fifty thousand yuan, and it was staggering to hear. And the blue and white porcelain in front of me is so much that it is almost impossible to count.

Liu Yuanqi looked at this nephew who had not seen him for four years with straight eyes, and felt so strange, he was so generous, he regarded the blue and white porcelain as a treasure in the eyes of Taishou, he could take out a lot of it casually, just now Liu Deran accidentally broke one, and he actually ordered the maid to take one again without changing his face. During the mourning period, Liu Ze replaced wine with tea and did not dare to exceed the courtesy. But Zhang Fei drank happily, accompanied Liu Ze to guard filial piety in front of the grave for 100 days, not a drop of wine, but he was suffocated, a heavy drink, dripping, Liu Yuanqi couldn't help Zhang Fei's enthusiasm, and drank a few more glasses.

After the banquet, Liu Ze ordered someone to send the half-drunk Liu Yuanqi family back to the house, and also gave several large boxes of gifts.

The next day, Liu Yuanqi woke up and checked the boxes of gifts, only to be stunned. A box of gold and silver jewelry, a box of Shu brocade and satin, and a box of blue and white porcelain. Looking at this priceless property, he was completely dumbfounded. To tell the truth, he saw that the two children of Liu Hong's family were not ordinary people when he was a child, and when Liu Hong's family was in difficulty, he often gave some help, although his wife complained about it, but he firmly believed that there was always a return for paying, but he didn't expect the return to come so quickly. He really couldn't see through Liu Ze's adventures in the past four years, but he deeply knew that Liu Ze was only a weak champion and had a bright future in the future.

In the next year, Liu Ze will be twenty years old, and he has reached the age of the crown ceremony. The crown ceremony, is a man's coming-of-age ceremony, which occupies a very important position in the Chinese culture that has lasted for thousands of years, and in the Han Dynasty, it is particularly grand, especially in the circle of scholars. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Confucianism", Zhou Fangnian 16, Shijun Minister. Shizu patrolled Runan, summoned Peng to test the scriptures, and saw that he was "especially able to read", and wanted to worship as a guard. And Zhou Fang "uncrowned" and cannot obey fate. The Shishu crown ceremony of the Han Dynasty was made by He Xiu, the "Xuehai" who was as famous as Zheng Xuan, the "god of the scriptures", and had a strict set of etiquette procedures.

Although the common people may not be able to observe this ritual (even if they want to do so, they probably do not have the power), but in the circle of scholars, this ritual is indispensable. The Han Dynasty crown ceremony was held in the temple, the date was February, within ten days before the crown, the recipient of the crown should first divinate the auspicious day, and if there was no auspicious day within ten days, the auspicious day of the next ten days was chosen. Then inform relatives and friends about the auspicious day. Three days before the crown ceremony, the guest who presided over the crown ceremony was selected by the Zheng method, and a person who "praised the crown" was selected to assist in the crown ceremony. During the salute, the host (usually the father of the crowned person), the guest and the crowned person wear a ceremonial dress. The first cloth crown was added, the second was awarded the leather ben, and finally the knighthood was awarded. After each crowning, the guests will read the congratulatory message to the crownee. The message of congratulations means: on this beautiful and auspicious day, I will add adult clothes to you; Please give up your children's ambitions and create adult sentiments; Maintain prestige and cultivate virtue; I wish you a long life and great blessings. The recipient then visits his mother. Then Dabin took the word for him, and the Han Dynasty usually took the word "Bo Moufu" (Bo, Zhong, Shu, Ji, depending on the ranking). Then the host sent the guests to the temple gate, toasted, and at the same time was rewarded with a bundle of silk skins (five silk horses and two deer skins), and then gave livestock. The crowned person changed into a top hat and dress to meet the king, and also performed a salute (wild pheasant, etc.) to meet the township doctor. If the father has died, the person who receives the crown is required to make an offering to the father's deity to signify that the crown is completed before the father. After the sacrifice, visit the uncle and uncle, and then eat.

Twenty and crown, this is originally a big event, not to mention that the Liu family is still a member of the Han family, but Liu Ze proposed to Liu Yuanqi that his parents' new funeral should not be extravagant, and the crown ceremony can be simplified. When Liu Yuanqi heard this, he praised it greatly. Therefore, the day of the beginning of spring was chosen as the auspicious day, bathing and changing clothes, changing into a wide dress, wearing a high crown representing adulthood, and only in the ancestral hall by the elders of several clans for the crown ceremony, there was no big banquet guests, and the qiē ceremony was simple.

Liu Ze took the word Runde for himself, firstly, the eldest brother took the word Xuande, and it is also appropriate to take Runde by himself, and secondly, the word Zerun was once the name and word of a generation of great people, and the people in the previous life had names and no words, and this life also made up for some shortcomings.

You must know that the people of the Han Dynasty were very particular about taking the table characters, and the table characters and their real names are related, or have the same meaning, such as Zhang Hengzi Pingzi; or similar meanings, such as Liang Hong's character Boluan; or the meaning is the opposite, such as Liu Guo's character is changed; or the meaning is the same, such as Cao Cao's character Mengde; Or the meaning is extended, such as Li Bai's character is too white, and he will never take the words that are not related to the wind and horses and cattle as the table words. Liu Yuanqi was quite satisfied with Liu Ze's own acquisition of this table, Ze was born by the common people, moistening all things.

Zhang Fei looked envious, and begged Liu Ze to give him a table as well. Zhang Fei is one year younger than Liu Ze, and he can only perform the crown ceremony next year, but Zhang Fei doesn't care whether he can do the crown ceremony or not, the most important thing is to be able to take a table word that pulls the wind, Liu Ze did not brush his intentions, and the word Yide was crowned on Zhang Fei's head a year earlier.

Subsequently, Liu Ze went to the Zhuoxian County Office to visit Gongsun Zhan.

After the end of Lufu's schooling, Gongsun Zhan became a planner under his father-in-law Liu Taishou. Later, Liu Taishou was escorted to Luoyang by the court in a car, and others avoided it, so the only prince Sun Zan disguised himself as a pawn and followed him all the way to Luoyang. In Luoyang, Liu Taishou was sentenced to exile in Rinan.

Rinan is in the south of Jiaozhou, the southernmost point of the Han Dynasty court, separated from Luoyang by thousands of miles and full of miasma, and it is said that the people who were exiled here died nine out of ten. But Gongsun Zhan was not afraid, and offered sacrifices to the ancestral tomb in Liaoxi on Beimang Mountain: "In the past, he was the son of man, but now he is a minister, and he should be in the south." There is a lot of miasma in Japan, and I am afraid that if I don't return it, I will leave the tomb for a long time. "Generous and sorrowful, and only the fellow Jing Ke hundreds of years ago can be compared to the "wind and depression and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone". There are many generous and sad people in the land of Yan Zhao, but it is well deserved.

I don't know if Mrs. Liu kept his life well, or Gongsun Chan brought him luck, just halfway through, the court's pardon document arrived, and Gongsun Chan could be regarded as retracting his feet from the ghost gate, but this righteous act brought him great benefits. After returning to Youzhou, he was promoted to filial piety and served as the governor of Liaodong. In a routine patrol, encountered the siege of hundreds of Xianbei cavalry, with dozens of people to meet hundreds of murderous barbarians, fearless, the first soldier, rushed to the front, in the case of more than half of their own casualties to kill the Xianbei cavalry, by virtue of this merit and promoted to Zhuoxian county commander.

Hearing that Liu Ze was visiting, Gongsun Zhan personally went out of the house to greet him, and said from afar: "The virtuous brother is here, and if you miss the welcome, forgive your sins." ”

Liu Ze bowed his hand and said: "The younger brother's parents are newly mourned, thanks to Brother Bo Jue's many cares, he should have visited a long time ago, but because he kept filial piety in front of the grave for 100 days, he couldn't make the trip, so please Brother Bo Jue Haihan." ”

Gongsun Zhan put his hands together and said: "The virtuous brother has been keeping the soul of his parents for 100 days in the snow, although the twenty-four filial piety is not as good, the foolish brother is really admired." ”

"The son wants to raise but does not wait, and fails to fulfill some filial piety before the death of his parents, Ze is ashamed to have no land."

"It's cold outside, so let's talk to the main hall of the virtuous brother."

Liu Ze nodded in response, and the two sides came into the hall, and their own subordinates served refreshments. Liu Ze's entourage also presented gifts, Liu Ze said: "Thanks to Brother Boju's care, my father and mother can rest in Jiuquan, some gifts, not respect, and I hope Brother Bojue will accept it with a smile." ”

Gongsun Zhan said: "Isn't the virtuous brother a fool and an outsider?" The matter of Lingzun Lingtang, Zan is duty-bound, and the virtuous brother of the East and West should take it back. ”

"A little vulgar thing, it's just a little brother's heart, please don't shirk Brother Boju."

Gongsun Chan had to reluctantly accept it, and when he saw it, it turned out to be a complete set of blue and white porcelain, which was also considered a vulgar thing? Although Gongsun Chan was born in a family and has seen some of the world, Liu Ze gave him a gift worth millions of dollars as soon as he made a move, and he was really shocked by such a generous gift. Gongsun Chan said: "Such a valuable thing, Chan doesn't dare to accept it." ”

Liu Ze chuckled and said: "These porcelains are just produced by their own family, they are not worth a few dollars, but they are a little elegant. ”

Gongsun Chan was shocked: "It turns out that the blue and white porcelain that is popular in the capital is actually sold in the hands of the virtuous brother, and the virtuous brother is doing a great deal!" ”

"It's just some useless stuff, and it's comparable to the heroic feat of Brother Bo Jue. I heard that Brother Bo Qi repelled the attack of hundreds of elite cavalry of Xianbei with the strength of more than a dozen people, and there is no hero in the world. ”
