On the summer solstice, the sunrise willows are green and green like the river, and the lotus flowers on both sides of the bank are swaying.

In the Chu Palace, an annual pension ceremony was held. This ceremony is held every year, but it is held every year.

Not only the state of Chu, but also the royal family of the princess of the Son of Heaven and the princess of Zhou, and the slaughter of the towns and villages, must be held in accordance with the law.

When counties, counties, townships, etc., are held, the only difference is that the princes hold it in their own palaces, and the lower-level officials hold it in the local official school.

Shi Yiguang got up early in the morning, and she is now exercising in the house. Half slept in the side room next to her main room. It's very close, just leaning on it.

When she got up to finish practicing and changed her clothes, she saw Ban'er walking from the side room with her eyes rubbed.

Ban'er has long been accustomed to Shi Yiguang's early riser. is also accustomed to the darkness when Shi Yiguang doesn't light the lamp after getting up early. He walked straight to the table and lit the oil lamp.

The oil lamp illuminated the room, and Shi Yiguang, who was already dressed, was standing by the bed and watching the sky.

The lights came on and illuminated the room, and she didn't look back, just stared at the sky.

"Has the sky changed today?" Ban'er asked as he yawned.

Shi Yiguang shook his head, and then closed the window: "No." "She's just watching the sky every day.

Ban'er didn't say anything more, walked outside the house with a copper basin and came in with hot water, and said to Shi Yiguang, who was already sitting behind the desk reading by the lamplight: "It's clean." Later, you will follow the eldest prince, right? ”

Shi Yiguang nodded, put down the scroll in his hand, walked to the place where half of the water was released, and washed his face.

At this time, the old-age care ceremony is still very perfect. People all over the world tend to respect and love the elderly. There is a saying in "The Book of Rites: The Royal System" that there has been a pension ceremony since Yu Shun. To the present Zhou Dynasty, it has long been complete.

However, the war in Chu has passed in the past few years, except for Yingdu, there are starvations in other places, and the pension ceremony has been put on hold. In addition, the Eastern Zhou rituals collapsed, which means that many of them have been done by few people according to the metric system. It's just that this Chu country is a royal palace, and for the noble old man with high morality, it is still appropriate to hold a banquet according to the etiquette system.

But no matter how bad the etiquette is now, it can't collapse the modern era. Shi Yiguang half hugged the green cloth towel on his head, while thinking of the 21st century.

Even if the parents who worked hard to raise themselves can ignore it, and even if they abandon it, there is no punishment, let alone the elderly in society.

There was a rustling sound outside the house. Shi Yiguang turned his head and looked at Ban'er who came from outside the door: "Who is it?" ”

"It's Yu Gongyang, saying that the eldest prince's side has been done and is waiting for you." Ban'er walked into the house, holding a plate of snacks in his hand, and put it on Shi Yiguang's table: "This is sent by the eldest prince, saying that he should stand for a long time later, so let you eat some to fill your stomach first." ”

Shi Yiguang let out a 'hmm' and said, "You eat some first." ”

Ban'er was not formal, and took a few of the plates and ate them.

After purifying his face, Shi Yiguang walked towards Xiong Zhang's palace next to him.

He had already put on his satin clothes, and he had three patterns on his clothes, including the sun, the moon, and the stars. He wears a crown plate on his head, and three black jade tiaras hang from front and back. Block the front and back of the head. (Note 1)

Shi Yiguang looked at the bear medal wearing the crown, first stepped forward to salute, and said respectfully: "The eldest prince." ”

"Sir, please." Xiong Zhang stood in the courtyard and raised his hand at Shi Yiguang. The crown on his head swayed lightly with his movements.

When Shi Yiguang heard this, he didn't say more, but retreated and walked towards Xiong Zhang's side, the front of the attendant Yu Gongyang.

Xiong Zhang glanced at Shi Yiguang, turned his head, and did not make a sound. Lift up his feet and go out of the temple. Shi Yiguang followed.

Today's respect for the old Yan in the palace is the Yan for the elderly. The princes and nobles of Chu can all be seated at the table, and the elderly over the age of 50 can be seated. Among them, those who are highly respected and have contributed to the country are called the three elders and the five watches.

King Chu Zhao bathed in purification, wore seven crowns in chapter clothes, and stood outside the palace. Shi Yiguang followed Xiong Zhang and saluted to King Chu Zhao, then stood behind and disappeared in the crowd.

As soon as the hour came, King Chu Zhao took Xiong Zhang and all the famous doctors and doctors to the east hall of the palace to worship the deceased emperors.

Three bows and nine bows, and music is played next to it.

After worshipping, King Chu Zhao returned to the palace and personally greeted the first batch of three elders and five watchmen who entered the palace. These are all old men of the nobles of the Chu State, and most of them are people who are highly respected and held important positions and have worked for the well-being of the Chu State.

The two sides saluted, and King Chu Zhao welcomed people into the palace. Sit down according to dignity and humility. Delicacies are placed on the table.

Another salute, followed by eating.

When the old man was eating, music was played in the hall, and the music of the "Qing Temple" was played, and the man chanted softly.

King Chu Zhao sat upright, Xiong Zhang kept standing behind King Chu Zhao with his head down, and Shi Yiguang stood behind Xiong Zhang with his head down.

Silent.

During this period, etiquette and music had collapsed, etiquette had moved downward, and the class hierarchy was not obvious. But in the Chu Palace, this rare respect for the old Yan was still finished in a decent manner.

Shi Yiguang has been following Xiong Zhang all day, and he hasn't been touched by much water.

In the evening, Yan San, Shi Yiguang first said goodbye to King Chu Zhao, and then went back to his courtyard alone.

In the unitary, the sky is still bright. The sky of the summer solstice carries the sunset of the sunset, and the whole day is red. The entire Chu Palace is magnificent and warm. A suzuki tree was caught in the Kumajang Palace, and now the leaves were green, hanging on the branches, swaying in the evening breeze. It's like a small fan that fans the wind.

Although etiquette is no longer respectful, these cumbersome etiquettes can also make people tired and breathless. Shi Yiguang dragged his tired body back to the room, and there were still dim sum cakes brought in in the early morning on the table.

Shi Yiguang sat on the table, picked up the snack and ate it.

Ban'er came back from outside, holding a black dog in his hand. Every evening, he would take his dog out for a while.

Ban'er tied the black dog outside, walked in, and saw Shi Yiguang eating the morning cake on a plate, and frowned: "Don't you need to eat?" ”

"The feast is not for me, what can I eat?" Shi Yiguang said with concern, let go of the cake in his hand, and looked up at Ban'er: "What did I send you to do?" ”

Hearing this, Ban'er nodded, walked in front of Shi Yiguang, knelt down, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and pushed it in front of Shi Yiguang: "I got you so much, is it enough?" ”

Shi Yiguang took it, untied the cloth bag, looked at the black gray inside, and nodded: "It's almost, use it first." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Ban'er: "Where's the wine?" ”

"In my room." Ban'er said, frowning: "Do you really want to do it?" ”
