"It's all to blame on you two teenagers, one is tall and masculine, the other is weak and petite, and they are both so beautiful, like a couple of men and women in a wedding I once presided over, plus I was a little confused after drinking, so I got confused and lost my ugliness." The drunken guy patted his head and explained, "Let's start again, start again, listen to me read correctly, 'The etiquette is ready, the moon is auspicious, and the word is announced.'" The word Kong Jia, the fashionable person is appropriate, it is suitable for fake, and it will always be protected, and it is said that Shu Shangren'. ”

"Shu Shangren?"

Xiao Mo was looking down and smiling, thinking about his thoughts, he didn't hear what Ye Yan was reading at all, only heard the last three words that Shu Yan repeated, he thought the name was funny, so he laughed: "What, what?" What is the name of the table you gave Brother Shu 'The Man in the Book'? Haha, that's so funny, can I call my cousin 'the person in the picture'! Brother Ye, you're really drunk today. ”

"Hey, don't talk nonsense if you don't know. What 'people in books', 'people in paintings'. The 'Shu' of 'Shu Shangren' I am talking about is the surname of Brother Shu, 'Shang' is the noble Shang, and 'Ren' is the benevolence of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. Just because there is a sentence in the Analects of Confucius, "Those who are good and benevolent cannot be honored" is an excellent compliment. I think that Brother Shu often demands himself by the standard of a gentleman, and even his benevolence and filial piety have come from the right of most gentlemen, this sentence is very suitable to describe Brother Shu, so I named him the word 'Shangren'. What do you mean by the 'man in the picture'? ”

Xiao Mo lowered his head and silently recited the three words "Shu Shangren", thought about it, and suddenly he slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Of course there is an explanation, the 'Hua' I am talking about is not the 'painting' of painting, but the 'Hua' of Huashan, because my father's surname is 'Hua'." As for the 'middle people'...... Because my eldest brother Shu said that I have both the elegance and elegance of the Chinese and the wild and bold of the Hu people, and take the 'middle' of Huahu, sometimes free and easy, like a man, sometimes gentle, and like a woman, take the 'middle' of men and women, so I call me 'Zhongren'. ”

Ye Meng said: "The explanation of 'Zhongren' is okay, but what a coincidence, your father's real surname is Hua?" ”

"Of course, no matter how wild I am, can I talk nonsense about this?"

Shu Yan also said: "I've known you for so long, and today I learned that your big name is Hua Xiaomo." ”

"Although my father's surname is Hua, my big name is not Hua Xiaomo, but Jiang Xiaomo."

"Jiang Xiaomo? Why? ”

"Well, it's a long story, I'll explain it to you when I'm free."

When Shu Yan heard this, he didn't want to ask, but said to Ye Qing: "Brother Ye, my expression is too high, too high, how can I afford it?" I don't dare to take it. ”

"Why don't you dare to stand it? Since you want me to give you the title, then, what word to crown must listen to me, if you have to not receive this word, then don't you look down on me? ”

Xiao Mo smiled: "Brother Ye is right, in today's society, you don't dare to receive these two words, who else dares to receive them?" I think the word 'Shu Shangren' is so good, so good, not only catchy, but also with my name. ”

"You didn't wait for Brother Ye to say, you thought about the words yourself?" Shu Yan asked with a smile.

"Yes, I don't care who is compatible with the name or not, let alone what is tall, over, or big, as long as it sounds good, as long as I like it. Since Brother Shu is called 'The Man in the Book', then, as his good brother, I should naturally be called 'The Man in the Painting', so that I can complement each other better. ”

Ye and Shu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"What are you laughing at? I'm serious, in the future, in private, you will call me 'Xiao Mo', and in formal occasions, I will be called 'Central China'. ”

Ye Jian clapped his hands and said: "That's okay, Brother Mo's behavior is weird, I'm really a little uncertain, if I really want to get the table word for you, to be honest, it's really a little difficult." Brother Xiao Mo's own table is both popular and catchy, and it also matches Brother Shu's table, which is really wonderful. ”

When Shu Yan heard this, he smiled helplessly and shook his head, he was really defeated by Xiao Mo's innocence.

The two of them thanked Ye Chung, and Xiao Mo said: "Brother Shu, you accompany Brother Ye to sit in the house, Brother Ye has wine here, I'll go get a few more dishes, let's have a few drinks and celebrate." ”

……

"Of course the three of us have to have a good drink, but today is not good, today is your important day, and you still have a lot of things to do." Xiahoumen patted Shi De's shoulder and said. Shi De was tossed for a long time at today's crown ceremony, and he had just finished crowning, and he was thanking the two sons of Xiahoumen and Xunbao.

Xun Bao also responded: "Brother Xiahou is right, you can't get drunk today." Soon, Jia Taichang is going to crown your name, so don't go to the stage soon. ”

"It's okay, anyway, our little brother has time, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I will reward you well." After Shi De finished speaking, he left Xiahoumen and Xun Bao, stepped onto the stage, and waited for Jia Gong to crown it.

Jia Gong read the congratulatory speech, bowed his hand to the guests present, and said with a smile: "Distinguished guests, today, it is my great honor for Shihou to ask me to crown his Linglang. Although I am not sensitive, but I am wrongly respected by the world, and there are not a few crowns that have been added, but it is the first time I have seen such a talented person as the son of the Shi family, and it was only like this when the beautiful man Pan Anren was young. You have all seen it just now, and the three crowns are really amazing, and it is not an exaggeration to compare them to jade. Now I want to crown it again, what kind of words can I choose to be worthy of a character like Shi Gongzi? I thought about it, and now I have the answer. In the Analects, Confucius has the saying that 'a gentleman is more virtuous than jade', so I want to choose the table word for Shi Gongzi as 'better than jade'. Than jade, than jade, than the beauty of jade, vividly reflects Shi Gongzi's jade-like appearance, I don't know what you think? ”

The guests in the audience all applauded when they heard this, and Shi Hui also smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, good, the surname Shi is better than jade, this name is catchy and has a good meaning, Jia Zhou is really smart, so it's decided." ”

Shi Biyu thanked Jia Gong, and after the crown, the mission of Jia Gong and others was completed, and the next thing was to feast and sacrifice. Shifu feasted on a large line, feasted all the guests, and arranged singing, dancing and drama during the banquet. There were a lot of guests here today, more than 100 regular guests alone, and hundreds of people in total with the entourage they brought. Although they are all guests, they are also divided into three, six and nine classes, of course, the first-class VIPs are arranged in the upper room, and the second-class ones are arranged in the side room, and the people can only squeeze outside. With so many guests, the Shi Mansion was very busy, and hundreds of male slaves and maidservants came in and out, running around, and they were very busy. There were seven or eight hundred guests, actors, and seven or eight hundred servants of the Shi family, and the sound of toasts, shouts, laughter, pots and pans, singing and dancing spread throughout Luoyang City.

The wealthy families not only have a large number of people and a large pomp, but also their banquets are all delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the treasures of land and water.

After the crown ceremony, it is to reward the guests, according to the common practice, the thank you gift is a bunch of silk, two deer skins. Shi Hui had already prepared these gifts, loaded them into the car, and was ready to send them to Jia Gong's house after the guests dispersed.

is different from the Shi family's super-large pomp, although she is in the home of today's top rich, there are only a few people at Zhixin's celebration banquet, which seems a little deserted. Although there are fewer people, the banquet is not ambiguous at all, and it is all delicacies. After Shi Chong left, Zhixin's ceremony ended, and these women regained their enthusiasm, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and the sound of swallows and warblers was very happy.

After a long feast, Shi Mu was a little drunk, and Zhixin sent Shi Mu and others out of the garden. As soon as I arrived outside the gate of the garden, I suddenly saw a son coming to meet him, and everyone saw it, and they all said: "The eldest son is here." ”

"Mother." The boy walked up to Shi Mu and greeted him.

"My son, what are you going to do? Didn't I tell you that you were not allowed to step into this garden without my permission, and you would not listen to me? ”

"Mother, you have wronged me, since you commanded me that day, I have never entered this garden, and I have never seen my sister."

"Hmm, what are you doing today?"

"What did I do? Speaking of which, I still have to blame you, my sister Luli didn't tell me such a big thing. "As soon as I came back from outside, I heard people say that today is the day of my sister's big gift, and my parents have come to celebrate my sister. I think, since Zhixin is your daughter, that is, my sister, my sister's ceremony, how can I, as an elder brother, not participate? So I put everything else down and hurried over. ”

After hearing this, Shi Mu smiled and said, "Hehe, I finally have the appearance of being a brother." However, it would be good that you had this affection, and now that the ceremony is over, it is useless for you to stay here, so go and say hello to your sister, and then go back immediately. ”

"Mother, don't worry, Zhixin is now my sister, and I won't think anything wrong about her."

Shi Dagongzi walked to Zhixin's approach, and gave Zhixin a salute and said: "Today is the day of my sister's coming-of-age ceremony, but I don't know, I didn't have time to participate, and I asked my sister to atone for the sin of ignorance of my foolish brother." ”

Zhixin just bowed her head and returned the salute, but did not speak.

Shi Mu said: "Okay, you go back, your sister is also tired, let her rest early." ”

"Whoa." Shi Dagongzi agreed and accompanied his mother back.

Originally, the ceremony for girls was held when they reached the age of fifteen after they were married, so the fifteen years old was also called the year of the fifteenth year. When a girl reaches the age of twenty, she must be courteous, regardless of whether she is married or not. And there is a rule in this dynasty that girls must marry before the age of seventeen.

Today's ceremony process has already touched the waves in Zhixin's heart, and it makes her think a lot - she was already sixteen years old when she left Ruyin. should have been able to give his best appearance to the person he loves the most in his best years, and that person is Shu Yan. If it weren't for this Shi Dagongzi, I would have become a married person and even a mother by now. Why didn't you have to be twenty years old to hold such a nondescript ceremony? Although many years have passed, since I met Shi Dagongzi just now, it still awakens her memories of that day, a nightmarish thrilling encounter. Her heart was like a huge wave on the sea, the waves were rolling, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
