For the children of the samurai family, the yuan costume represents adulthood in the true sense of the word, and it is the most important ritual among the ministers and samurai.

The frost fell early, and it was late autumn, and the laborers who were originally busy preparing the rural roads were also allowed to take a day off.

Outside the Hirayama Villa, there is a lot of traffic, people keep entering the hospital to pay a visit, Murono Heizo is sitting in the entrance of the school, recording the details of the gifts presented by the visitors, today's Zhenghong Yuan master divination, it is a good auspicious day, so the Yuan dress crown ceremony promised by the high master is set on this day.

The earliest example of the rite of the Yuan Costume was introduced by the Tang Dynasty envoys, which began in Heian and prevailed in the shogunate, and the earliest example may be the clear provision of the 'university' system in the "Great Treasure Decree", which requires the "Three Historians" to perform the crown ceremony for the disciples of the disciples. Later, it was renamed "Yuan Costume Ceremony" with the first greeting words of the "Shiguan Ceremony" of the "Rites" "Ling Yue auspicious day, the beginning of the Yuan Dress".

The samurai Yuan Costume Ceremony during the Warring States Period is no longer as cumbersome as the public family, but this Yuan Costume Crown Ceremony is indeed a big scene. In the whole Pingshan Township, there are wealthy families and wealthy families, or their parents come in person, or send their sons-in-law to come, and they sit or stand in the large and wide room of the village, solemnly and frugally, and watch the two of them repair their hair.

The two people in the Yuan costume are each on their own beds, both dressed in straight clothes, with a folding black hat on the low table next to them, and an Isemura Shota knife on the cloud frame, all of which are ritual utensils to be used in the ceremony.

One of these two people is Hasegawa Yajiro, and the other is Yashichiro, the little waiter who was transferred to Gao Shisheng by the Nagata family.

The barber was the young master of the Hama family, Hamana Nobumitsu, because it was the first time to shave someone's head, the craftsmanship was not perfect, and he did not deliberately shave his forehead into a moon dynasty, and the whole ceremony was just a symbolic cut off a bun for the two of them, and they stepped aside.

Shaving hair was not originally a necessary ritual for the motofu, but with the rise of the samurai, in addition to distinguishing it from the public family, it seems that the head of the moon dynasty could also better declare the majesty of the samurai and distinguish it from the common people. The main reason for shaving hair is to make it easier to wear a sash, and due to the traditional Heian Obu style, it is easy to pull the hair in a bun during a fierce battle, causing a lot of inconvenience to the samurai.

Of course, not all samurai will shave their hair, such as Gao Shisheng re-cultivated his hair after the Yuan suit, leaving only the 'Tang Wheel' style of soldier hair bun.

According to the practice of the samurai, men are generally about twelve to fourteen years old, of course, it is not absolute, and in some cases, the advance of the yuan service is not non-existent, but according to the convention, Yajiro is exactly the age of the yuanfu, and Yashiro is seventeen years old, it seems a little too late, the two sit together, quite weird.

This also reflects that Gao Shisheng's subordinates do not have too many manpower available.

This time, Hasegawa Mototada as a grandfather sat in the second place in the big wide room, looking at the grandson Yajiro who was shaving his hair in front of him, a kind of joy of the revival of the family name was born spontaneously, Gao's and Hamana's are all famous families in the far river, and the two of them can preside over the Yuanfu ceremony, the benefits are not only false names, all the wealthy families who come to watch the ceremony, all of them come to worship with heavy gifts, before the ceremony begins, the secretary who recorded the gift list, Nono Heizo, secretly told that the silver wealth received nearly 50,000 dollars, not counting the samurai must accompany the sword, ribs, The bow and arrow are all three things.

Although the two of them are dressed together, Yashiro still has a succession ceremony to be held, and it is the head of the Oi clan who adopted him as an adopted son.

It is a common thing for a samurai to become a monk, but he did not see through the red dust and took the initiative to practice, but because of the old things of the villagers who were killed, he was ordered by Gao Shisheng to go to Zenko-in Temple to retire and retire, pray for the blessings of the dead, and adopt his little attendant Yashichiro as his adopted son to inherit the family business.

In the whole ceremony, only Oi Tadashi wept for himself, he did not have a son-in-law to inherit the family business, but if he refused to adopt his adopted son, who would dare to say that his father and son would not suddenly fall ill together that night and go to Huangquan together. When the martial arts family is light on blood and heavy on family name, it is not unacceptable to inherit the adopted son who has no blood relationship and inherit the Miao character. He was really sad, but he was a samurai who believed in Shingon Buddhism, why did he go to the temple of the Pure Land Shinshu to become a monk, and after he died, what if he couldn't die in bliss.

The master of Zhenghong Yuan of Zenko-in was merciful, and when he saw Oi Tadachao's mourning-like appearance, he was afraid of provoking the country's displeasure, so he helped cover up to others and said: "The junior brother of Zhengchao is fortunate to have Jia'er, and he feels joy in his heart, and he is also crying with joy!" ”

As soon as Monk Zhenghong said this, the monk who was forced to become a monk cried even more miserably, and he didn't dare to cry out loud, and he was almost not angry, so that everyone present was sympathetic in their hearts, and if they were replaced, they might not be much better than the other party.

Shi Song Fengjiu, who was watching, lamented the misfortune of his old friend's house in his heart, took several breaths of cool air, hid behind his son-in-law, and barely calmed down his suspicious mood, speculating in his heart how much money was paid. The land can fill the first seat, the insatiable appetite of the township, not to mention that the Misawa clan's family property has been completely in his hands, and the township wealthy family has also ceded fifty stone of land, but the result is still not satisfied, and he has to swallow the Oi clan in one gulp.

It's just that Toyohisa Ishimatsu guessed wrong, but this time it was Nagata Toshishi who was chasing and beating him next to him, and Yuya Yuya knocked on the folding fan. Originally, Gao Shisheng adhered to the principle of 'too much', and since he had exterminated the Misawa clan, he had served the purpose of establishing authority, and he was unwilling to intimidate other wealthy clans, so as not to deepen their fears, which would not be conducive to future governance.

But the Nagata family spent five or six hundred yuan of Yongle money for him from beginning to end, and this time it was the time to collect some interest. So Nagata Rishi strongly demanded that Gao Shisheng could help his clan Yashiro to serve together, and inherit a Miao character and become a samurai.

This return request is very reasonable, naturally can not be refused for no reason, the Hamaname clan Gao Shisheng can not afford to offend, and the Ishimatsu family is the in-law of the Hamame family, and the final idea can only hit the third largest wealthy family in the township, the Oi clan, so there is a charge of coercion, by the head of the Zhenghong Academy, coerced and lured Oi Tadashi to become a monk, and offered to adopt the matter of adopting an adopted son, if Shi Song Toyohisa learned the truth, what kind of expression would it be, whether it was joy or fear, or the possibility of both, was greater.

Seeing that Yashiro had symbolically completed the haircut ceremony, Oi Tadashi raised his sleeve to wipe his tears, then came to the center of the room, knelt down in front of his adopted son, took out the family tree from his arms, opened it, held it up to everyone, and said, "Yashiro of the Nagata family! ”

The latter bowed respectfully and said, "Meet Oi-sama!" ”

Oi Tadachao suppressed the grief in his heart, and said: "I have the permission of the county Shouyuan Changgong and Master Shisheng, and hereby officially accept you as the adopted son of the Hirayama Oi clan, and give the family tree map and the word "chao" to the general, my Oi clan is not a famous martial family, but it is also a public who has followed the prince of the Zun clan and made great contributions, and I hope you will live up to the honor of my Oi clan's martial name in the future······"

"The contempt will definitely spread the name of the Oi family!" After Yashichiro saluted, he respectfully took the genealogy delivered by Oi Tadachao, and then looked at his adoptive father in the sound of promise, staggering back to his seat, holding a rosary, closing his eyes and reciting Buddhist scriptures silently.

The entire meta-service is only half completed so far, and the most important naming and coronation have not yet been held.

Gao Shisheng sat on the Hu bed, saw that the succession ceremony was completed, got up and said: "Hasegawa Yajiro and Nagata Yashiro, entrusted by your grandfather Yuanzhong and your family Mr. Leeshi, here to preside over the two of you Yuanfu crown ceremony, I will be partial to the word 'Sheng' and the new common name, and give you two to use, I hope that you two will be dedicated to public service in the future, and righteousness will exist!" ”

The two of them took the two sheets of rice paper with the famous inscription on them from the attendant next to them, and held them above their heads, Yajiro's one with the words 'Fujiwara courtier Hasegawa Fumino Cheng Motomori', while Yashiro's one only said 'Oi Yashiro Morito', which had one less surname than Hasegawa Motomori.

Since the surrender of the ministers, whether it is a public or a samurai, the full name written on official and official occasions has been very cumbersome. It is composed of surname, Miao character, common name, first name, and official position. The name also includes family heirlooms and bias, taking Oi Tadamori as an example, Yashiro was his infant name before his Yuan Fu, and he generally does not use it again when he becomes an adult. Whether it is the previous Nagata or the current Oi, it is just the Miao character of the family, because it did not get the common name of the next given, so it retained the common name of Yashiro, the common name is the usual name, some similar to the 'table character', used to use the daily name between relatives and friends, Oi Mori Dynasty came from a humble background, and naturally there is no such as the Gao family, the word "Tong" with special meaning.

In the name of the word "Sheng Dynasty", the word "Dynasty" is the family heirloom of the Oi clan, and the family heirs will use this word from generation to generation, and the rest of the bias is generally given by a prestigious samurai, of course, there are also cases where the given word is used as a family word because the status of the giver is too high. For example, the word 'yoshi' used by many samurai is basically from the Ashikaga shoguns of previous dynasties.

In general reason, the giver and the recipient will have a certain bond, and both parties have the obligation to protect each other.

The Oi clan is just an ordinary Chinese in Yuanjiang, not a family of courtiers led by the four families of Genpei Fujitachibana, so naturally there is no surname to boast of. As for Hasegawa Motomori's statement as a Fujiwara courtier, it can only be said to be a false confession, although Hasegawa Mototadashi claimed to be Fujiwara Kitake Hidego Ryu and was the samurai leader of the Hasegawa Party in Yamato Province, and only later moved to Tokaido.

But as a retainer of the Imagawa family tree, Gao Shisheng knows the true details of the Hasegawa family very well. The Hasegawa clan is a descendant of Ogawa Honaga, a native of the Shanxi region of Suruga Province, and Honaga is a layman's name, commonly known as Hasegawa Masanobu. Sealed for hiding the Imagawa Ryuomaru (clan's kin) who was hunted down by Oga Vanman, the "Suruga Chronicle" details the history of the Hasegawa family's fortune. According to the temple legend of the Rinsuin Temple founded by Hoyong, Hoyong was the second son of Yoshihisa Kana, the head of the Ban region, and became the son-in-law of the Hasegawa family, so he was able to inherit the Miao character.

The origin of the Suruga Hasegawa clan, according to the records of the "Kansei Rebuilding the Genealogy" and other records, is the Shimokawabe clan (Koyama clan), which belongs to the Seiwa Genji, but it uses a Fujiba pattern, but whether it is the Fujiwara clan or the Seiwa Genji, the descendants of Ogawa Honaga who succeeded as a son-in-law are not qualified to claim their surnames, because the inheritance is only the family name Miao characters, not the courtier rank of the 'eight-colored surname', and only the descendants of the courtier's bloodline are eligible to be called surnames, but now that the rites and music are broken, no one will care.

Even Gao Shimori, in order to show respect for the Fujiwara clan, was also in order to win over, deliberately cheering for the Hasegawa family, and giving an additional common name to distinguish it from the Oi Mori Dynasty.

Gao Shisheng stepped over, personally put it on for the two of them, and tied the folding black hat, and took off the Isemura Shota knife on the cloud frame, and gave it to the two of them, Hasegawa Fumiyuki Cheng Motomori and Oi Yashichiro Sheng held it with both hands, straddled it around the waist, and respectfully thanked the "fake kiss".

Gao Shisheng returned to the Hu bed and said with a smile: "Everyone here has generous gifts, and there is no empty-handed future, since you two call me a 'fake kiss', I can't be stingy." The head of the jaw motioned to Beizhuang Manjiro to hand over the two land deeds to the two, and said: "I have a small field in the township, so I will give you two more than 20 stones of famous fields as a reward, and order the ten stones of famous fields to be given to Master Zhengchao as a Buddha field for worship." ”

As soon as the words were finished, many wealthy families lamented in their hearts, these are the best paddy fields that they have used in their families for many years to skillfully take from the hands of the people, and now all of a sudden, they are all cheap These two hairy boys, Oi Tadashi heard that he was shocked, his family is just a small country occupying eighty-three stone land, and the famous field of thirty stones has increased all of a sudden, which is by no means small, and he is not so resistant to this adopted son who has passed by, and said with interest: "The poor monk has become a monk, and the worldly wealth is just dung and filth, I am willing to transfer these ten stone Buddha fields to my son Sheng Dynasty, so that he can expand the name of my Oi family! ”

·········

At the end of the ceremony, the young samurai brought by each family also stepped forward to greet the village, Gao Shisheng had a gentle attitude and treated each other with courtesy, if you let the uninformed people see, it is clearly an elegant scribe, no one can guess that not long ago, this young acting official had just killed the powerful man of the hometown.

These countrymen, the strength is even worse than the Oi clan, there is no background at all, the ancestors are not from famous families, these samurai are a group of rural ravine servants, the city is shallow, little knowledge, in the face of Gao Shisheng, no matter how gentle and polite this acting official is, he still feels terrified, trembling, and hurriedly followed their parents to leave.

Gao Shisheng did not keep it, and each person gave a gift in return, and the Oi Mori Dynasty and Hasegawa Motomori who had just served Yuan went out to see off the guests.
