Chapter 286: Watching the Ceremony Like This
The sound of the guqin, both pure and elegant, and clear and far-reaching, elegant, happy but not lewd, sad but not sad, resentful but not angry, gentle and generous, the form is peaceful, no fault is inferior, "the qin is the instrument, virtue is in it", the qin road is to let the literate literati doctor for a lifetime pursuit, the status of the qin is very lofty in the Han culture, there is "no reason to remove the qin" and "left qin right book" said. Therefore, the four arts of traditional Chinese culture "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" put the qin as the first, which is the necessary knowledge and compulsory subjects for literati, blowing the flute and stroking the qin, chanting poems and paintings, climbing high and traveling, and singing about wine have become a vivid portrayal of the life of literati and doctors. A large number of poems and texts have the figure of the qin, and many stories that have been handed down to this day are also accompanied by the qin, Zhuge Liang opened the city gate at the critical moment when Sima Yi's soldiers pressed the realm and the soldiers approached the city, and he burned incense and stroked the qin on the city tower to play the "ambush on all sides", which finally made Sima Yi dare not enter the city; Sima Xiangru is like a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" to seek Wenjun; Ji Kang played "Guangling San" on the execution ground as the swan song of life; Boya's "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water" are looking for bosom friends......
The purpose of the taste, the rhyme, and the sound outside the strings are the essence of the far-reaching artistic conception of qin music. So when Lei Tianze and Liang Jin burned incense and cleaned their hands, stroked the strings, and played it with mountains and flowing water, among the people present, Mr. Anonymous's eyes were bright, nodded slightly, and listened quietly, followed by Mrs. Qin, Xia Chongxiao and Zhang, who were also intoxicated by the music, Wang Chengde and Zheng were already seated in the main seat, Wang Chunrong and Jia and others were busy preparing things, and Liu was drooling at the three men, and Chen thought she was ashamed. Pull aside and let her poke.
Lan Yi stood in front of her parents, intoxicated by the distant sound of the piano, and couldn't help but whisper. "Sounds good!"
Everyone nodded their heads, which was indeed good. Wang Chengde stood up, Lei Tianze and Liang Jin raised their hands off the strings, and the sound of the piano dispersed with the wind, "Today's little queen Spring Peach has an adult ceremony, Chengde thank you for coming to the Humble House to watch the ceremony!" At this time, it is noon, spring peach. Thank you first! ”
Lan Yi put away Fang Cai's obsession and nodded slightly, she silently recited the ritual many times. It's finally time to begin. Originally, she only thought that these ceremonies were cumbersome and boring, but now because of everyone's attention and blessings, they are also solemn.
She walked solemnly, facing south. Bow to the guests who come to watch the ceremony. Then he knelt down and sat down on the seat of the Leader. Liu, who was a praiser, walked out with a serious face to wash his hands, and went behind Lan Yi to untie her bun, Lan Yi's long black hair hung down like a waterfall, and was neatly combed by Liu. Liu Shi showed an envious look, Lan Yi's hair was already black and neat, and Jia Shi had deliberately maintained her for this year, her hair color was black and shiny, and her tentacles were like fine silk satin.
After combing neatly. Placing the ivory comb on the south side of the mat, Liu took three steps back. Stand still. The praiser is Zhengbin's assistant and a close friend of the person, and Liu is very happy to be the praiser of Lan Yi's ceremony.
Zheng got up and respectfully asked Mrs. Zhengbin Qin to get up. Mrs. Qin got up with a smile, and with the assistance of her second aunt Li, who was temporarily acting as a rejector, washed and dried on the east side, and returned to their seats after giving way to the guest of honor and the host.
After everyone was seated, Lan Yi turned around and sat eastward. To the east, that is, facing Zhou Weiji's courtyard, the tall plane tree came into view, Lan Yi raised his eyes, and saw Zhou Weiji in green clothes among the dense branches and leaves.
A smile bloomed, and at that time he said that he would watch her ceremony at home, Lan Yi also smiled and said that it was impossible. Zhou Weiji is Lan Yi's fiancé, and he can't participate in her ceremony, not only that, but even Su Yongshen, Zheng and Wang Chengde, who are relatives and friends of the man, were not invited.
I didn't expect that the observation ceremony he said was such a "viewing" method.
Looking at Lan Yi, who was wearing her hair down and showing a sincere smile at herself, Zhou Wei nodded with a smile. How could he miss such an important day.
The ceremony is still going on in an orderly manner. Chen, one of the deacons, presented Luo Pa and a hair flute, and Mrs. Qin walked up to Lan Yi and chanted a greeting in a loud voice: ": The auspicious day of the month is the beginning of the Yuan service." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. After that, Mrs. Qin knelt down to comb Lan Yi's hair, got up and returned to her original position.
Liu stepped forward for Lan Yi symbolically corrected, this pure gold hairpin was given by Mrs. Zhou, simple and atmospheric, Lan Yi tied up an adult bun and matched it with a golden hairpin, and the immature little face also showed a little maturity. She got up, bowed to the guests, and returned to her room.
Jia took the clothes from another deacon, Zhang, and went to the room to change Lan Yi's clothes. Lan Yi took off her pink clothes and put on a light blue skirt that symbolized the innocence of the cardamom girl.
Lan Yi, who was dressed in a skirt, went out of the room and bowed formally to Wang Chengde and Zheng, thanking her parents for their nurturing grace. Wang Chengde's eyes were full of tears, his hands trembled slightly, Zheng's tears fell, he raised his hand slightly, and Jia helped Lan Yi get up. Lan Yi looked up and looked at the pair of parents who were not her own, but also made her deeply attached, and her admiration was overflowing.
Seeing their daughter like this, Wang Chengde and Zheng both smiled, their daughter was still the little daughter who was attached to them.
Jia Shi helped Lan Yi and sat facing east again. Mrs. Qin washed and reset again, took the hairpin from her daughter-in-law Zhang's hand, walked in front of Lan Yi, and chanted loudly again: "Jiyue Lingchen, Nai Shenerfu." Respect for the majesty, the grace of the soot. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. ”
Liu stepped forward to remove the golden hairpin for Lan Yi, and Mrs. Qin put an orchid hairpin with emeralds on both sides as Lan Yi's hairpin on her head, and Liu symbolically called Lan Yi's hairpin. Lan Yi got up, and the guests congratulated Lan Yi again, and she returned the salute and then went back to the room to change her clothes.
Since the beginning of Lan Yilu's ceremony, the sound of the piano only stops when someone speaks, and the rest of the time is telling the blessing to the flute. After Lan Yi returned to the room for the second time, Lei Tianze and Liang Jin changed their repertoire, from "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water" to the tactful and gentle "Cherish Red Makeup". Zhou Weiji, who was standing at the top of the tree, stared at the orchid hairpin on Lan Yi's head with a smile, listened to the tune, and finally turned his gaze to the two pianists, one blue and one white, and met Lei Tianze's smiling eyes.
It was rare, Zhou Weiji smiled at him and nodded in thanks, Lei Tianze shook his head slightly when he saw it, and replied with the piano. Lan Yi is his sister-in-law, why should he thank him?
"Sister-in-law, have you seen it, have you seen it, Lei Fuzi and Liang Xiucai play the piano, just like the immortals in the painting, oops, it's a pity, we don't have painters, otherwise we should really draw them all down and hang them on the wall." While changing Lan Yi's clothes, Liu said nymphomaniac.
Lan Yi, who changed into a deep curly robe, faded her cardamom innocence, showing the dignified and bright beauty of a Han woman. She deeply agrees with Liu's point of view, and regrets several times that there is no camera here, such a beautiful piano sound, such a picturesque scene, should really be recorded and become an eternal memory.
