"Why can't that work?" Shu Yan held a hat in each hand, "The Confucian scarf represents the study, the juan crown represents the official career, the "Analects" says, 'learning and excellence is the master, and the scholar and the excellent are learning', which is enough to show that 'learning' and 'shi' are intertwined and integrated with each other. ”

"Oh, I think about it, you study every night, I seem to have heard you read what you learned and excelled, excellent and learned, etc., although I can't memorize, but after you say this, I also understand something: the first sentence 'learn and excel' means to study first and then become an official, and the second sentence 'excel and learn' means to be an official first and then study, my understanding is correct?"

"yes, that's probably what it means. In fact, the understanding of ancient books can be said to be the opinion of the benevolent and the wise, and no one can truly fully understand the meaning of the ancient sages, as long as it does not violate the original intention of the ancients. ”

Xiao Mo himself is a person who does things unreasonably, and when he heard this method, he thought it was quite funny, so he turned his worries into joy: "Since the saints mean this, of course we can't disobey him." ”

"Well, that's right, you choose one first."

"Brother Shu, you are a typical person who 'learns and excels', then you should wear this Confucian scarf first, and then wear this curly beam crown when you are second plus, which is in line with your life course of being a Confucian first and then an official;

"Who said that you must be a non-Confucian official, in this life, no one dares to guarantee what will happen in the future, maybe after you wear this curly crown, you will really become an official!"

"Nonsense, how can I be an official, I am a Qiang person, and I am also a ......" Xiao Mo was straightforward, almost telling his essence.

"What's wrong with the Qiang? There are many Hu people who are officials. Are you still what? What's half of that? ”

"I'm still a ...... People who love freedom...... Hehehe, not suitable for being an official. Xiao Mo interrupted with a smile, "We're far away, it's important to get down to business first." ”

"Well, we've been on our knees for a long time."

Shu Yan picked up the curly beam crown, Xiao Mo picked up the Confucian scarf, Shu Yan opened his mouth to read OnePlus's greetings and said: "On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian dollar is ......"

"Wait, what kind of nonsense, if you chew the words like this, you read so fast, how can I keep up?"

"Oh." Shu Yan smiled, "Actually, the two of us are entertaining ourselves and deceiving ourselves. We are not the sons of a princely family, how can we use any 'three pluses' and 'three blessings'? These greetings are indeed a bit obscure, and if you don't know how to pronounce them, you don't have to recite them, or you can just recite some other words. ”

"No! How can you recite something else about your once-in-a-lifetime rites? You read it slowly, you read a sentence, and I'll just read it. ”

Shu Yan saw that Xiao Mo was so serious, so he had no choice but to rely on him. After the two men finished reading the greetings, they put the hats in their hands on each other's heads. The two of them got up and went back to the room, took off their clothes that mocked each other, Xiao Mo changed into a butterfly-patterned white robe, and Shu Yan also changed into a white robe, which were the two that they wore together when they went to play outside the peony garden that day.

The two of them came out, looked at each other and smiled, and Shu Yan said, "How can it be so coincidental, we also wore the same clothes that day!" ”

"It's a coincidence. It's because the two of us have a 'heart'. ”

"What 'heart has a soul', in fact, it is not a coincidence at all, because I don't have any extra clothes, just these two, and the chance of such a coincidence is still very high."

Xiao Mo said secretly: You are a person, will you die if you are romantic? ……

There are no parents, no guests, no praisers, no guests, no guests, no one to salute, just two people appreciate each other.

Shu Yan looked at Xiao Mo, full of butterflies lingering around, looking like spring, smiling brightly, with black hair combed on the top of his head, his eyes were clear, he smiled slightly, revealing two rows of bright teeth, and his words and deeds, gestures and gestures all revealed a sense of happiness and ease.

The man in the depths of these eyes, dressed in a plain robe, a scarf, black hair is high, two thick eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes, not angry and powerful, the bridge of the nose is high, the lips are slightly closed, and he does not like to smile. Looking sideways, the forehead, sideburns, eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, birthmarks between the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, the ears, the lips, and even the cheeks are all lined, outlining a handsome face with sharp edges and corners.

"Xiao Mo, your outfit not only has the elegance of a Chinese man, but also the wild and bold of a Hu man, and there is an indescribable feminine beauty, your different beauty really makes me indescribable, the beauty is out of an alternative height, a beautiful man of different races like you is really rare in the world."

The words of the man at the bottom of the eyes made the owner of the eyes laugh: "Beauty varies from person to person, and there are many kinds of handsome men and beauties in the world: masculine beauty like you, feminine beauty like me, weak beauty like Shi De, ladylike beauty like a wealthy lady, natural beauty like a poor woman, etc., Brother Shu, which one do you like?" ”

"I don't dare to call myself masculine and beautiful, but I think that men should be more masculine, and weak beauty like the son of the scholar clan is also called beauty?"

"Haha, in your eyes, I am not beautiful with a man like Shide, are we?"

"Uh-" Shu Yan paused, "although you and him both lack masculinity, I always feel that you are not the same as his kind of beauty." ”

"What's the difference?"

"It's not clear what the difference is, you seem to be a little rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, and he is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside; Although his gestures are weak, he has a man's chic in his bones; And though you behave boldly and competently, but—"

"But how?"

"But ......," Shu Yan scratched his head, "I can't say either." ”

Xiao Mo smiled secretly: "No matter what, aside from me, this alternative is not counted, just take you and Shi De two types of beauty, like you, who are both elegant and resolute, handsome and capable, full of masculinity and exuding heroism, in today's society, I am afraid that it is not as popular as a weak and heroic man like Shi De." ”

The masculine beauty smiled bitterly: "I know this, although the whole society is like this, it doesn't mean that this is not a pathology." ”

"Yes, but I'm different from them." Xiao Mo looked at Shu Yan and smiled sweetly, "I just like a masculine ...... like you."

"We're far away, let's get crowned a second time soon."

The two of them knelt down on the mat and straightened each other's buns, Xiao Mo followed Shu Yan to read Erjia's greetings and exchanged crowns and hats for each other. Back in the room, Xiao Mo changed into a goldfish-patterned satin robe, and Shu Yan changed into a newly haired Shang Shulang court dress, although it was not an official crowning dress, but it was fresh and interesting.

The two men looked at each other again.

"Our crown is over."

"yes, it's over." Shu Yan's eyes were full of gratitude, "Thank you, Xiao Mo, you gave me a fresh, different, and happy crown gift." ”

"So are you." Xiao Mo looked at Shu Yan with a smile.

"What, what's the end?" A not-so-fluent voice came.

The two turned their heads to see a man carrying a large pot of wine and staggering a little.

"Brother Ye, why are you here?"

Ye Jian walked closer, obviously with a smell of alcohol, "Since the Ministry of Officials let us move into this mansion with filial piety who have not been awarded officials, we have nothing to do all day long, just waiting for the notice of the Ministry of Officials. But if you don't go back, you can only spend it here, and I don't know how many years it will take. Today, I felt bored, so I wanted to drink some wine, and halfway through the drink, I suddenly remembered that Brother Shu, you didn't go to the upper duty today, and you should rest in the lower house, so I wanted to come to you for a few drinks. ”

"That's just right, Brother Xiao Mo is also here, let's have a good drink together."

"Wonderful, wonderful." Ye Qing was drunk, "Eh, what are you two doing?" I just heard you guys say 'it's over'? ”

"Oh, we're both crowning."

"Crowned? Let's talk about it, who to crown? ”

"The two of us crown each other."

"Crowning each other?" Ye Qing was confused, "Did I drink too much today?" How can I not understand what you are saying? ”

"Of course you don't understand, because this has never happened, we created it ourselves." Xiao Mo replied with a smile.

"Homemade?"

"That's right." Xiao Mo briefly talked about the crowning of him and Shu Yan.

"Oh, I think I understand, you two crown each other, it's creative." Ye Qing shook his head and sobered up a little, "However, although you two little brothers are smart, they are young after all, how can you forget one thing?" There is still one key step left to be done, how can it be over? ”

"What's the matter?"

"The crown. After adding the crown, it is necessary to take the table word, Brother Xiao Mo doesn't know, Brother Shu should know. ”

Shu Yan said with a smile: "After crowning, I want to crown words, I naturally know this." It's just that although the importance of the word is inferior to the correct name, it must be appropriate to the person's behavior and conduct, and it should not be taken indiscriminately, and it should be handed over to an elder or a well-educated person to take it. If it is too high, won't it make people laugh? ”

"How can it be high? With a character like Brother Shu, it is not too much to use any words. ”

Xiao Mo's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Ye came by coincidence!" Originally, the crown ceremony between me and Brother Shu was held in a very hurry, and there was no highly respected scholar to preside over it for us, so I didn't consider the crown letter. Brother Ye is erudite and talented, and he is older than us, so this matter happens to be Brother Lao Ye. ”

Seeing that Ye Yan hesitated, Xiao Mo rolled his eyes, sighed at Shu Yan and said, "Brother Ye is erudite, famous, and friendly with us, it is very suitable to be this crown person." However, people dislike us as the children of a poor family who are adrift and helpless, and disdain to write for us. Brother Shu, let's ask someone else to write another day, don't be embarrassed for Brother Ye. ”

"Oh, no, no, no, I didn't mean that." When Ye Qing heard this, his face turned red, and he hurriedly explained, "My original intention is that I am immoral and incompetent, and I am not worthy of being the crown person of the two, Brother Xiao Mo really wronged me when he said this." Well, since the two of you don't give up, I have the right to be the crown person. ”

Xiao Mo saw that his radical method was successful, and secretly laughed.

"Although I Ye is not talented, but in my hometown, I have attended a lot of various crowns, weddings, funerals, and township drinking ceremonies, I know these etiquettes, come and come, you two are still sitting on this mat, and I will crown you for you."

Ye Jian looked at the pair of young people kneeling on the mat, thought for a moment and said, "The table word is here." ”

Xiao Mo asked, "What is it?" ”

"What's the hurry, listen to me read the crown word first." Ye Chung took another sip of wine, shook his head, and said loudly, "The peach is dying, scorching its bloom." The son is home, and it is appropriate for his family to ......"

"Huh? What are you reading? Brother Ye, are you really drunk and confused? Listening to Ye Jian's greetings, Shu Yan was angry and funny, and hurriedly interrupted him. You are now presiding over the crown ceremony, and it is not a wedding, how can you recite this poem "Taoyao" in the "Book of Songs"? ”

"Oh, oh, oh, mistaken, mistaken." Ye Jian slapped his head vigorously, "Drinking is wrong, drinking is wrong." ”

Xiao Mo also heard his eyebrows, he turned his head to look at the majestic man kneeling next to him, his Adam's apple sliding, and he was accusing the drunk guy.

Hee-hee, is it wrong? I don't mind, I hope there will be a wedding in the future, a wedding for me and him.
