Chapter 253: Crown Ceremony
Xiao Deng Ai perfectly interpreted, what is the real "period Ai Ai".
After years of teaching by Zhang Xi, Deng Ai learned to slow down and speak slowly, so that the problem of stuttering has also been greatly improved, and ordinary people really can't hear that Deng Ai has a stuttering problem.
But now, little Deng Ai is in a hurry, and this old problem has come again.
But Zhang Xi finally knew what Xiao Deng Ai really thought - this kid really fell in love with the tiger girl of the Guan family.
The cause is also simple.
Didn't Zhang Xi once ask Guan Ping to instruct Xiao Deng Ai on his martial arts, and Deng Ai had lived in the Guan Mansion for a period of time at that time.
Then, Xiao Deng Ai was beaten by Guan Yinping and doubted his life.
At that time, Xiao Deng Ai was already sixteen years old, and Guan Yinping was only thirteen years old.
Xiao Deng Ai is not convinced, how can a dignified seven-foot man lose to a little girl.
Therefore, Xiao Deng Ai tried his best to win Guan Yinping, but he was suppressed by Guan Yinping every time, and he was disgraced every time.
Actually, it's really not how high Guan Yinping's martial arts are, it's really Guan Yinping's strength is too great, and it's a bit of a force to ten meetings.
Even Guan Ping can only rely on battlefield experience to deal with Guan Yinping, and when Guan Yinping's strength is exhausted, how can she find a way to defeat Xiao Deng Ai, who was only sixteen years old at the time.
In this way, when Zhang Xi came to pick up Xiao Deng Ai, Xiao Deng Ai found that this strange woman had left a deep impression in his heart.
Later, Zhang Xi lived in Guanfu for more than a month in order to avoid suspicion, and during that time, Xiao Deng Ai found Guan Yinping again, saying that he was learning martial arts, and at that time, Xiao Deng Ai's focus was no longer on martial arts.
Now, although I don't know what the attitude of the Guan family tiger girl is towards Xiao Deng Ai, but now Xiao Deng Ai belongs to the Guan family tiger girl.
So, as soon as Zhang Xi asked, Xiao Deng Ai told the master all about the expected Ai Ai, and begged the master that after the crown ceremony, he could go to General Guan for him to ask for marriage.
This thing. Zhang Xi gritted his teeth and agreed.
Although, Zhang Xi did feel a little weak when he saw the second master, especially when the second master stared.
However, you are your own disciple, and it is related to the happiness of your disciple's life, Zhang Xi gritted his teeth and got it.
Still. Let's find an opportunity to make an appointment with Guan Ping and have a good chat.
Guan Ping is much easier to talk than Guan Yu, you can start from Guan Ping's side first, and when you go to propose marriage in the future, Guan Ping will help beat the side drum, and you can't say that you can have more helpers.
Guan Ping was also a little dumbfounded about this.
I really didn't think about this route at all.
"If the chief wants to marry the little sister, although the father disagrees, he also said that in the past, how could the chief propose marriage for Ai'er?!" Guan Ping asked quite puzzled, "Isn't this a mess of human etiquette?!" ”
No, what's that?!
Mention a kiss, is there such a big crime?! It also involves human ethics and etiquette?!
Zhang Xi now doubts whether Guan Ping doesn't look down on Xiao Deng Ai, and deliberately found an excuse to prevaricate him.
But Guan Ping really didn't, but explained it seriously to Zhang Xi.
Because, in Guan Yu's eyes, Zhang Xi is the son and nephew, and Guan Ping, Guan Xing, and Guan Yinping should be regarded as the same generation.
In fact, it can't be wrong, after all, Zhang Xi and Guan Ping are almost the same age.
Therefore, even if Zhang Xi proposed to himself and said that he wanted to take Guan Yinping as a concubine, Guan Yu would not agree, but it is estimated that he would only reprimand Zhang Xi for his whimsical nature, and he would not have any other ideas.
But Zhang Xi is proposing marriage for his disciple, so this nature is different.
As for Xiao Ai'er, even if it is Guan Ping, he is regarded as the next generation, and Guan Yinping, although he is about the same age as Xiao Ai'er, should be an elder.
In the eyes of Guan Yu, who is familiar with "Spring and Autumn" and prides himself on knowing etiquette, he is really angry if he messes up his generation.
According to Guan Ping's meaning, Guan Yu will still think that Zhang Xi is insulting his style, and he will break off the friendship between the two families.
But Zhang Xi doesn't understand. This Guan Yu, I'm afraid it's not "Spring and Autumn", but Cheng Zhu Lixue, right? !
It's still the kind of castrated version of the Ming and Qing dynasties!!
Anyone who has read Zhu Xi's original work will not have such an idea.
My Yingchuan Zhang family, and your Hedong Guan family, have a woolen relationship.
Everyone is under Liu Bei's account as ministers, why are you a generation older than me?!
Besides, even during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was common for the monarch to marry the monarch's daughter. At that time, most of the monarchs were surnamed Ji, and if they really wanted to go upside down to their ancestors, they might not know what kind of generation they were with each other, what's the point of tangling this thing?!
Zhang Xi really didn't understand, and Guan Ping was also a little dumbfounded.
There's a factor in about Yu's awkward character.。
Guan Yu is the opposite of Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei is not sympathetic to the soldier and respects the scholar, while Guan Yu is a soldier who loves the soldier, but he is lukewarm to the scholar class.
But it is very strange that Guan Yu likes to read "Spring and Autumn" very much, and he also learns from scholars, and treats "Spring and Autumn" as his own heirloom book, ready to be passed on from generation to generation.
One thing to say, in fact, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's backgrounds are similar, they are not from a big family, but they have two different personalities.
There are some things that Guan Ping can't say directly, after all, "the son doesn't say anything about the father".
So Zhang Xi just speculated that maybe Guan Yu was a person who envied the poetry and books of the scholar on weekdays, but because of the scholar's attitude towards the poor family and the people, Guan Yu was dissatisfied.
After all, Guan Yu is arrogant, the scholar class looks down on us people from the bottom, so I, Guan Yu, also look down on you, and at the same time, I also want to prove that I can also become a member of the scholar class through my own efforts.
Therefore, Guan Yu's attitude towards scholars is very cold, but at the same time, he likes to read books and learn the family heirloom concept of scholars.
If Zhang Xi rashly went to the door to kiss Xiao Deng Ai at this time, it might touch Guan Yu's nerves hidden in his heart, and make Guan Yu mistakenly think that Zhang Xi was bullying him for not understanding human etiquette, which would trigger an overreaction.
The above is purely Zhang Xi's blind guess, because in addition to this reason, Zhang Xi really can't think of the reason why Guan Yu is entangled in the problem of generation.
But this thing has to be done, after all, in Zhang Xi's opinion, this thing is super boring, because of this reason, not to propose to his disciple is a dereliction of duty as a master.
That's why the autumn harvest is the first.
After finishing the autumn harvest and giving Xiao Deng Ai a crown gift, Zhang Xi will find a way to go to Guan Yu's mansion and officially propose marriage to his disciple.
After that, it was busy, busy until the end of September, all the new grain had been collected, and the tax burden and forced labor had been almost settled, and Zhang Xi began to prepare for Xiao Deng Ai's crown ceremony.
In fact, there is a whole set of processes for the crown ceremony, not to close the door by yourself, take a word for the disciple, put on a hat, and even if it is over.
First of all, Zhang Xi had to find a "witch" to calculate the date of the crown ceremony, and the fortune teller was not easy to find, so he asked Ma Liang to help him choose a good day.
Ma Liang has dabbled in this area, after all, the children of the family in this era are reading miscellaneous books, medical divination and astrological phenomena, and other things are somewhat involved, but they are not the main business.
After that, it was to help Deng Ai invite the crowned guest of honor and the deputy guest of praise Theoretically, this is also to be calculated by the "witch", but now, Zhang Xi simply invited Ma Liang to be the deputy guest of praise crown
As for the guest of honor, Zhang Xi decided to go to the Guan Mansion and ask Guan Yu to be the guest.
Ma Liang originally wanted to be the guest of honor, but when he heard that Zhang Xi was planning to invite Guan Yu, he immediately stopped thinking about it.
After all, he is the person with the highest status and official position on the ground in Jingzhou, and he is a famous general in the world, so he invited Guan Yu to be the guest of honor, and his qualifications are enough, and no one will make irresponsible remarks.
This year is not after the Song Dynasty, and it is a troubled era, and the status of famous generals is even higher than that of some so-called celebrities.
Of course, it is also related to Guan Yu's personality, if you want to change Zhang Fei, even if Ma Liang doesn't say anything, he will still sneer in his heart.
After all, the second master has really read "Spring and Autumn" for decades, and there is something in his stomach, although the family thinks that the second master's knowledge is still not profound, but to a certain extent, they also recognize him as half of their own people.
Our third master is a bit well, it's not easy to say.
Therefore, for Guan Yu to be the guest of honor, Ma Liang didn't feel anything wrong.
And Zhang Xi invited Guan Yu as the guest of honor, not just to pat the leader's ass, he has his own ideas.
Aren't you Guan Yu entangled in the question of seniority, okay, it's okay.
I invite you to be the guest of honor for Deng Ai, rounding off, you are Deng Ai's elder, as for the elder generation or the elder two generations, it all depends on what one mouth says, after all, the guest of honor of the crown ceremony only requires the elders.
Today, you give Deng Ai a crown salute and become the crowned guest of honor, then next time I go to your house to give Deng Ai a kiss, Zhang Xi can also have an explanation, so as not to let Guan Yu support Deng Ai to his grandchildren.
After making these preparations, Zhang Xi personally came forward and went to invite Mrs. Deng.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be carried out in the ancestral hall of the Deng family, but now there is really no way, Xinye is still Cao Cao's territory, and it is not easy to go back.
Therefore, Zhang Xi could only invite Mrs. Deng to his mansion and give Deng Ai a crown salute in the Taishou Mansion of Nanjun.
In this way, it can not only give Deng Ai a long face, but also will not make Mrs. Deng feel that she has wronged herself and the Xinye Deng family.
After that, it is to prepare some utensils to be used for the crown ceremony, such as crown clothes, dressing utensils, ritual utensils for wine, dried meat for entertaining guests, etc.
When everything is ready, wait until the day of the crown ceremony.
