Chapter 38: The Gift of the Weak Crown
However, the noble prince from before was full of displeasure, stood up suddenly, and asked loudly: "What is wrong with the name of Shen Fang? What is so terrible about the future life?
All of you here are also fine people who are cruising in the officialdom, and they have made a judgment in their hearts, but they don't say or laugh, and listen quietly, because the people brought by Shen Yuanwai, whether they are men or women, are surnamed Shen after all, and they are definitely not surnamed Zhang and Li, and they can be the stepping stone for meritorious service in front of the county guard at will.
Shen Yuanwai shouted: "Presumptuous! Don't sit down for your father!"
It seems that it is indeed Shen Fang, whether it is Shen Gongzi or Miss Shen, it is Shen Fang who is surnamed Shen and Shen Fang who is surnamed Shen.
Zhong Ming was also convinced of this in his heart, raised his left hand with a smile and pressed Shen Yuanwai beside him, and said with a smile: "Clumsy and clumsy, Shen Gongzi don't be angry, what this official said is all praise, this 'release' is not the 'release' of the profligate skeleton, nor the 'release' of the unbridled rudeness, but the 'release' of flowers blooming, the 'release' of endless blooming and blooming!
Everyone was secretly convinced, this Zhong Ming was really extraordinary, and in his words, he thought that he had penetrated the secret of Shen Fang's male and female clothes, and he could also secretly mention Shen Jue with a pleasant face, and he could also take into account the atmosphere of the banquet and the atmosphere, without losing his demeanor and adding a little bit of dignity and majesty.
Although Shen Jue is not a person in the officialdom, he is also a big man who has been in the business world for a long time, how can he not know the implication of this Zhong Ming's words, and besides, all businessmen are all in accordance with the words of "the people do not fight with the officials".
Shen Jue hurriedly stood up, clenched his fists in panic and said: "Please also ask the adults to forgive the sins, the little girl has offended the adults for her ignorance, today's things are all due to Shen's lax discipline, and please forgive the adults." ”
Zhong Ming also hurriedly stood up, raised his hand to help Shen Jue, and laughed loudly: "Shen Yuanwai is making such a fuss, it's really an outsider, my nephew is just a fun and frolicking age, how can this official take it seriously? haha, haha." ”
Zhong Ming smiled heartily from the bottom of his heart, there are few people like Shen Jue in Yunnan, and it is enough for everyone to show weakness in such a scene, and everyone on the table can calmly deal with it. If Shen Jue used half of his family property, he would definitely be able to donate a provincial government supervision envoy from the imperial court, so who would win and who would lose? As the saying goes, one of the two fights must lose, how could Zhong Ming not understand the principle of stopping in moderation! Therefore, smiling heartily at this moment can be regarded as winning a little more majesty for this black veil on his head.
"Daddy......" This Miss Shen finally stopped her rough voice and screamed.
But Shen Jue interrupted him: "Enough, either sit down quietly for me, or let the housekeeper send you home!" Shen Jue's voice was fierce, and there was no room for negotiation.
"Hmph, I'm not going back, I'm going to wait to see Brother Lin salute, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Miss Shen muttered softly, showing the posture of a little daughter at this moment, although she wore a crown, she couldn't hide her beautiful facial features, which were extremely delicate and lovely, and she no longer saw the awkward state of not being a man or a woman before, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt beautiful.
This beauty is not gaudy, like a natural green peak, which looks verdant after the rain, and is lush at sunrise, blessed with unique beauty, she is there, alone with the sky as a companion is not ordinary. Li Yuanqing was a little stupid when he saw and thought about it, and it was only because of the words and reminders of the disciples who were standing on the side that Li Yuanqing came out of this crazy fantasy.
"Haha, coming to the Humble House today, can you and I be separated from each other?" Zhao Keming looked at Zhong Ming and then at Shen Jue, and smiled meaningfully.
Zhong Ming's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered the things of the past, but Shen Jue had no scruples, and he also smiled. This Zhong Ming, Shen Jue and Zhao Keming represent the way of the government, businessmen and rivers and lakes, and the three of them laughed in unison at this moment, but they each smiled with their hearts.
"No one another, no one another!" Zhong Ming and Shen Jue both smiled and agreed.
"That being the case, for the sake of all of you and us at today's feast, please drink this cup full!" Zhao Keming took the lead in holding the wine bowl in his hand and raised it high.
The crowd looked up again and drank it all.
"The hour has come, the celebrant is seated!" shouted the butler, who had been guarding the hour plate at the door.
"Please Lord Zhong to sit in and preside!" Zhao Keming stood up, leaned sideways and raised his hand to invite.
Zhong Ming stood up and took the lead into the side hall, and everyone rushed in.
The side hall is not big, three feet long and six inches square and four columns, with a black lacquered wooden table in the middle and a red Taishi chair in front of the table. Zhong Ming stepped into the table, brushed the hem of his shirt, and sat down slowly.
Surrounded by dozens of people, their eyes were focused on Zhong Ming, and Zhong Ming became more and more majestic and complacent.
"Please!" the butler, who was standing aside, shouted again.
Outside the hall, a row of seven people slowly walked, the leader was holding a black crown, and the six people behind were holding satin, hairpins, hats, ties, beads, and beards, all the way into the side hall neatly, lined up, waiting for the bell to ring.
"Three knocks and three kneels!" the butler shouted.
"One kneel to the sky, two kneel to the ground, three kneel long live the king!" Zhao Lin really knelt three times and kowtowed, kneeling towards the north.
"One knock on the great kindness of parents, two knocks on the holy teacher, and three knocks on the grace of the blessing and hair bundle!" Zhao Lin kowtowed three times, and knocked sincerely. This celebrant and human hair tie is to hurt people's hair and skin, and after death in the future, they will go to hell to suffer sins to offset their sins, so it is the grace of blessing and hair binding.
Zhao Lin knelt reverently in front of the table, Zhong Ming said softly: "Bundle satin!" picked up the purple bundle of satin in the tray with his right hand, and scooped up Zhao Lin's hair with his left hand, and quickly wrapped the bundle of satin twice to tie a 10,000-year knot. Quickly pick up the hairpin, put on the crown, wear beads, and do it in one go.
"Alright. Zhong Ming sighed lightly and said slowly.
"Please also seal a few auspicious words!" Zhao Keming hurriedly said.
"There are a few words of auspicious words, please remember them carefully. It is not advisable for high-ranking officials to be generous, and to be a man must be benevolent and righteous. Wealth and glory should not be greedy, and life should not be climbed at will. Since today's bundle, all sins are not advisable!" Zhong Ming had to smile bitterly, this is really a great irony, he doesn't love high-ranking officials, he doesn't love wealth and glory, how can so many people gather together today.
"The ceremony is over, the VIP is seated, the food is served!" the butler shouted, the audience was excited, they were really hungry, and the previous fasting wine made them miss this delicacy even more.
The sound of drums resumed, and it was a noisy banquet hall where everyone was happy.
