Chapter 64: The Crown Bath (2)

"Xiao Mo, I brought two bathtubs, is your bath water boiled?" Shu Yan came back with two wooden bathtubs.

There was smoke curling from the stove in the room, and Xiao Mo was boiling water in the room, "Okay, okay, Brother Shu, you put one of the two bathtubs in each of our bedrooms, and you can bathe immediately." ”

Shu Yan put the two bathtubs away, "You and I are both people who are wandering alone, why do you have to have a coming-of-age ceremony, why bother with that false name." ”

Xiao Mo turned around and said: "Brother Shu, I know that you are still a gentleman, and as a gentleman, you must have a formal crown ceremony, if not, I am afraid that you will have regrets in your life." ”

Xiao Mo was talking about Shu Yan's thoughts, and when he heard this, a warm current surged in his heart, "It's really hard for you, but fortunately you are smart enough to come up with this solution." ”

"Of course." Xiao Mo said proudly, "The two of us crown each other, each of us acts as a parent, a crowner, and a guest, truly one thing for three purposes." But this is also a way out of the way, who made us helpless. ”

"How can you say that one thing has three uses? It should be said that it is more appropriate to have three positions. Shu Yan smiled and said, "I understand your kindness, let's just mean it simply." ”

"It's simple enough, not only do we not have a formal crown and hat dress with three salutes, but we have changed 'three plus' to 'two plus', and we don't even have a 'two plus' crown dress, so we can only replace it with other clothes."

"It's already very good, how can we have spare money and spare time to do that, and even this bath can be saved together."

"How can it be done, anything can be simple, but how can there be less bathing before the crown ceremony." Xiao Mo said, lifting the lid of the pot, "The bath soup is already boiling, scoop the water immediately." ”

Shu Yan put water in the two bathtubs, Xiao Mo walked into the inner room, took out a piece of Zhu Ling and a handful of bath beans, came out and handed them to Shu Yan, and said, "Here, wash well." Then he went in again, slammed the door in his hand, and shouted to the outside, "Don't peek." ”

"Joke, what's so nice about you big man."

The two men walked into the bathtub with their clothes wide on their backs. This bathtub is much smaller than the bathtub of the rich family, Shu Yan is tall, sitting in it, can only accommodate a small half of the body, either the whole leg is exposed, or the entire upper body is exposed, or the chest and thighs are exposed, and he is hesitating, so he heard the shouting inside: "You think it's in the pond, the bath is so small, how can you wash it together, you should wash your hair first, from top to bottom." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, I'm confused." Shu Yan walked out of the bathtub, first bent down to soak his hair, applied it to his hair with Zhu Ling, then washed it, stepped into the bathtub again, and smeared his body with bath beans. Shu Yan doesn't use these often, and uses them once in a while, and feels that taking a bath with these things is really refreshing.

"Xiao Mo, your pig Ling and bath beans are really easy to use."

"Of course, I don't usually use it, on such an important day today, how can I not wash it well?"

"Thank you so much, Brother Mo."

"Thank you, it's a trivial matter...... Ah, it's broken. ”

Shu Yan heard Xiao Mo's tone suddenly change from smug to surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't have bath beans anymore, I was careless just now, I didn't pay attention, and I gave you all the bath beans."

Shu Yan let out a sigh, "Hey, what should I do, such a fuss, I still have it here, you open the door, wait for me to send you in." Shu Yan stood up, walked to Xiao Mo's door with the bath beans and pushed the door, and found that the doors and windows were tightly closed, and they were all covered with large curtains, so that no gaps were leaked.

Xiao Mo was so frightened that he hid his body in the water, leaving only his head and feet outside, "Don't!" You, you hurry back. ”

"What's the matter, don't you have no bath beans to use? I'll just give you a little bit. ”

"Oh...... I suddenly remembered that I had used that before, but I felt uncomfortable after using it, so I couldn't use it. Xiao Mo was talking nonsense.

Shu Yan shook his head, "Weird, you're really weird." ”

Hearing that Shu Yan had walked back, Xiao Mo's heart let go, "It's so hanging, how good is it if my daughter is seen by him?" ”

"Xiao Mo, have you washed it?" Shu Yan had finished washing and wiped his body with a towel.

"It's okay right away, Brother Shu, you change your clothes first, go to the courtyard and wait for me, I'll come out immediately."

"It's already changed, I'll spread two mats there first, and when you come out, we'll start our coronation ceremony." Shu Yan didn't dare to imagine that he could have a crown ceremony, he was very excited, and it was the first time he took a bath like this, he felt refreshed and very excited. Xiao Mo is also, the first time to take such a close bath with a man, he is very nervous and uneasy.

……

"I've never bathed like this, you've been serving me to take a bath since I was a child, and I can't wash it myself." Shi De sat in the huge bathtub and complained, he was the only one in the huge bathroom, and the maids were standing outside the door.

"Childe, you can be wronged. The head of the house and the mother of the house have commanded us not to come near. Today is your important day, you must bathe and fast, be religious, have no distractions, and do not touch women. Ah Yan persuaded through the bathroom door.

"But I really can't wash it." Shi De was at a loss in the face of many bathing things.

"Childe, all the supplies have been prepared for you, and they are placed on the wooden couch next to the bathtub, you can reach out as soon as you reach out, and there is a heater behind it, which is not cold at all."

"How do you use these things?"

"The porcelain jar contains rice milk, the black is Zhu Ling, the yellow-white is the bath bean, the green is the spice, the golden in the small porcelain bottle is osmanthus oil, the white in the small red sandalwood box is fat powder, and the agarwood burning by the stove is agarwood. Rice milk and Zhu Ling are used to wash hair, rice milk is warm, remember, when washing your hair, you should use rice milk first, and then Zhu Ling; The bath beans are used to wash the body; The five bath kerchiefs next to it, one is used to wipe the head, two are used to wipe the upper body, and two are used to wipe the lower body; After drying the body, put on a bathrobe, dry your hair by the fire, apply osmanthus oil on your head, apply spices to your body, apply fat powder to your face, and then comb your hair with an ivory comb and tie a bun. ”

Ah Miao was all too familiar with this process, and she carefully explained it one by one through the door.

"No, no, it's too complicated, you say it slowly." Shi De listened a little confused, where did he remember this, every time he took a bath, he just closed his eyes and enjoyed it.

"Childe, you can't remember what you said...... Otherwise, I say the same, you do the same. Although Ah Miao knew that Shi De would not be able to wash, because he had to fast, he would definitely not be able to go in and wash him, "start by washing his hair......

Ah Miao and Ah Yan took a bath by remote control outside the door, although they only moved their mouths, but it was more difficult than doing it themselves. was anxious, and suddenly saw a little maid come up and say, "The master of the house commands: everything is ready outside, and the guests are waiting, let the son hurry up." ”

"Oh, oh, please return to the head of the family, and the son will be fine soon."

As soon as the little maid went, she heard a "snap" sound from inside. It turned out that Shi De heard his father's urging, and when he came out of the bathtub, he was in a hurry and slipped and fell. Shi De was heezy, Ah Miao heard the scream, and in a hurry, she wanted to push the door in, but fortunately Ah Yan stopped her and said: "You broke the rules and ruined the good things of the son, can you afford it?" ”

"Yes, I almost missed a big thing, Childe, how are you? Can you move? ”

"Oops—I can move, but it just hurts."

In fact, Ah Miao and Ah Yan also understand in their hearts that a young man who falls on the ground can have anything to do? It's just that the people of Shifu will be so pampered on weekdays.

Shi De came out of the bath, changed into clothes, and combed his hair into a child's bun. Picking clothes is the clothes to be worn before the crown ceremony, that is, the clothes of childhood. The formal crown ceremony is to "add three plus", that is, to add three crowns, and to prepare three sets of formal crown clothes. These three sets of crown clothes are: the cloth crown used by OnePlus and the corresponding black color Xuanduan suit, which represents Nengwen; The leather ben used in the second plus and the corresponding white-colored primitives represent Nengwu; The jue ben used by Sanjia and its corresponding red-colored dress represent status. plus picking clothes, it is equivalent to four sets of clothes. From picking clothes, children's buns, to gradually changing into three formal crown clothes, it represents the transformation of a person from childhood to an adult who can play various roles.

At the crown ceremony, all the guests were wearing a black robe and belt, and they were seated. After bathing, Shi De came out of the shower, walked to the stage, and bowed to the guests. The guests saw Shi De dressed in bright clothes, swaying a dashing figure, delicate facial features, clear eyes, a black and bright hair shining in the sun, and the already delicate skin looked even more smooth and white under the action of fat powder, exuding bursts of fragrance.

"Wow, what a beautiful son!" There was an uproar at the scene, and people were talking to each other and praising each other.

Jia Gong said to Ji Si: "The son of the Shi family is really like a jade man!" ”

"Well, who would dare to believe that he is an adult without looking at him? This cheek is almost like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old. ”

At this time, Shi Hui came over and asked Jia Gong: "Jia Zhoudu, please come to the stage and take your seat, let's start the ceremony." ”

There are four main roles in the crown ceremony: the crowner, the young man who is to be crowned; The master is the father of the crown; Zhengbin, the person who crowns the champion, is generally a person of high moral standing with status; The praiser, the person who assists in the crowning of the Zhengbin, the identity and age of the praiser are lower than the Zhengbin. Jia Gong is the guest of honor of this crown ceremony, and Xiahoumen is the praiser.

Although Shi Hui has invited Jia Gong as a guest, Jia Gong sees that those here today are either officials from the DPRK and China, or celebrities today, so he can't help but excuse himself: "Jia is stupid, I am afraid that it will insult Shi Hou and Ling Lang." I think it's better to let the prince of Anfenghou, Chu Zhong or Ji Zhongzheng do it. ”

Being a guest of honor is very face-saving, and it has been booked a long time ago, so how can it be changed at will? Jia Gong is just superficially humble. Everyone knows that this is a polite remark, and they all humbly push: Ji Si said that although he is a fellow villager with the Shi family, he is all in Jiazhou, and he can't take his turn no matter what; Wang Dun said that there are so many highly respected people, and he is young and still a dependent, and he is not suitable to be a guest; Wang Rong, Marquis of Anfeng, said that Jiazhou is old and virtuous, and he is a fellow villager with Shihou, so this Zhengbin should be done by you.

Everyone pushed around. After Jia Gong heard this, he stopped refusing and went on stage. Behind the stage, a group of drums sounded in unison, and the crown ceremony officially began.
