Chapter 140
"Book of Rites": The person who wears the crown is also the beginning of etiquette.
"Chinese culture is a culture of etiquette, and the crown ceremony is the starting point of Chinese etiquette."
The crown ceremony means that young men and women have reached a certain age, are sexually mature, and can get married. From then on, they can participate in various activities as adults of the clan.
The coming-of-age ceremony requires the elders to hold certain ceremonies for the young people according to tradition before they can be recognized.
This shows the importance of the crowning ceremony to a person. People who have not held the crowning ceremony are not qualified to participate in various important is also a recognition of a person.
The Marquis Mansion announced its decision to hold a crowning ceremony when Ji Song was chosen as a teacher three days later.
To say who is happiest is of course those who sacrificed their lives to become Ji's the head of the family holds the crowning ceremony, even if they reach adulthood, they will have a true object of allegiance.
When the second uncle and the others found out, they insisted on attending the ceremony regardless of their physical Song had no choice but to send someone to pick them up.
This kind of thing cannot be refused, it will break their hearts.
They are Ji Song's most respected elders. If they are not present at the crowning ceremony and cannot receive their blessings in person, it will not only be their regret, but also Ji Song's regret! On this day, Li Shimin had nothing to do, so he just walked around the palace.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of children reading from not far away, and I knew I had arrived at the Xiuwen Hall, where the princes study and study.
When he heard that he was practicing the "Three Character Classic", Li Shimin knew that it was Li Gang teaching the of Li Gang's stinky face, he had the idea of leaving.
But just when he was about to leave, the eunuch in the distance saw him and shouted loudly: "I see you, Your Majesty!"
He put away his feet that had not yet been lifted out, looked at Li Gang who looked a bit dark, and said with a smile: "Master Li is here!"
Li Chengqian is the oldest among the children and understands some I saw my father's appearance, I couldn't help laughing.
Li Shimin, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, glared at his son and said, "I wonder if these children have ever been obedient? If not, Master Li doesn't have to be merciful, and he will do whatever he wants!"
Hearing his father's words, Li Chengqian was so frightened that he quickly shrank back, thinking: His father is really petty!
"Your Majesty, I don't need to worry. I know how to teach students." Li Gang said expressionlessly.
Li Shimin felt bored and prepared to leave.
"Father, the teacher said that as long as I have the crowning ceremony, it means that I am an adult. I want to grow up quickly, father, can you give me the crowning ceremony?" A little girl who was only eight or nine years old said innocently.
Li Shimin felt his heart melt when he heard this, and said: "Come, Lizhi, come to the father."
"How about you let me have a crowning ceremony, so that I can grow up quickly!"
Li Shimin touched his precious daughter's head and said with a smile: "Then you have to wait for several years. When the time comes, how about your father and mother personally add hairpins to your hair?"
After comforting his daughter, Li Shimin said to Li Gang: "Is it too early for Master Li to tell these things to the children? After all, they are still so young and may not understand these things."
"I know, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." Li Gang still looked like he was keeping away from strangers. Li Shimin's teeth were itching at the sight, but there was nothing he could do.
"Your Majesty, you don't know something now. Master Li must be happy and excited, so he told the children this!"
"See the Queen!" Li Shimin was a little confused when he heard the Queen's words: "What does this mean? Is there any big happy event in Master Li's house?"
"I've met Master Li!" Changsun bowed slightly to Li Gang and said.
"The queen has offended the old minister, there is no need to do this!" Li Gang quickly offered help.
He had objections to the emperor, but he respected his eldest grandson. This was related to the usual behavior of the queen.
"Your Majesty, you don't know yet! That boy from the Ji family will have a crowning ceremony tomorrow. It must be that Master Li has been reading the books in the past few days and has been thinking about this matter, so he said it casually!" said the eldest grandson with a smile.
"It makes the queen laugh. I have been so worried these past few days. My disciple said that if I don't give him a nice word, he won't recognize it.
No, the veteran can only look through many classics and search carefully. It would be ugly if he refutes his face. "Li Gang said helplessly.
Li Gang said helplessly, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, which showed his love for Ji Song.
Seeing Li Gang's appearance, to be honest, Li Shimin was jealous.
To be able to let such an upright person like Li Gang put aside his dignity as a teacher for him shows how much he values Ji Song.
"Oh? Isn't that boy just sixteen years old? Why is he crowned so early?" Li Shimin asked doubtfully.
When Li Gang heard this, he glanced at him and said nothing. Instead, he said to the children: "I will take a test on you before get out of class ends today. Please review carefully now."
"You" Li Gang's move was not very harmful but extremely insulting, which made Li Shimin angry.
But before he could get angry, his eldest grandson grabbed him and said angrily: "Okay, why do you have the crowning ceremony in advance? Don't you have any idea in your mind?"
"How come I almost forgot about this?"
Come on, he finally remembered the agreement he made with Ji Song. Calculating the time, it's only been a few days. No wonder he needs a crowning ceremony.
It's better now, Li Gang's anger is in are ready to squeeze someone's disciple when he is still young. As a teacher, can you look good on him? "Hey! I can't do anything against you, an old man, and I can't do anything against your disciples? He's about to become an official. There will be many opportunities in my hands in the future. When the time comes, it will depend on whether he, as a teacher, feels sorry for him. ?" Li Shimin said angrily.
The eldest grandson looked at the childish emperor and helplessly held his forehead. He really felt a headache for these two people.
The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he suddenly said: "Chen Shou!"
"The servant is here!"
"Tomorrow you go to announce the decree and announce his official position after the ceremony. If the old man doesn't make me feel comfortable, I won't let his disciple feel comfortable. Tell him that he will take office immediately without delay." After giving the order, Li Shimin dumped him. He took off his sleeves and turned around to leave.
"Mother, what do you think?" Chen Shou looked at his eldest grandson eagerly, trying to get his eldest grandson to make an idea whether he should go or not.
"What do you think I'm doing? Your Majesty asks you to go, just go. What's there to be embarrassed about?" The eldest grandson doesn't care about their nonsense, they can do whatever they like! Chen Shou looked at the two people leaving with tears in his eyes. On someone's happy day, he went to make trouble for them. What's the matter? Ji Song was looking at the list of people coming tomorrow. He had no idea whether someone would cause trouble for him tomorrow or whether the emperor would personally issue an order.
If you knew it, would you say: You are cheating your apprentice!
Instruct the housekeeper to confirm these again and become familiar with the process people coming tomorrow are all well-known people in the Tang Dynasty, so don't dare to make any mistakes.
sleepy!
