There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

He hit the ground with his crutches a few times, but he couldn't get angry after all, so he said bitterly: "I'll settle the score with you two boys later!"

After that, he turned around and left first, Wang Yun also smiled maliciously, and left with the others.

Diao Chan frowned, stepped forward, blamed the Tao merchant, and said, "You are a real person, what should I say about you, you can be late even for such a big event as the crown ceremony."

The pottery merchant smiled helplessly, and said, "Isn't this insomnia?"

Diao Chan asked curiously, "Why can't I fall asleep all of a sudden?"

Tao Shang stepped forward, secretly reached out and pinched her buttocks, and said in a low voice, "It's hard to sleep alone."

"Ah!" Diao Chan's face flushed with embarrassment, she gave the potter a hard look, turned her head and ran away with Wang Yun.

Tao Qian specially invited his old Shangguan Huangfusong to be the official guest and crown for the candidate for the pottery merchant's crown. Huangfusong has a distinguished status and is the teacher of the pottery merchant in name, so it is appropriate to be the official guest and crown.

As for the crowned praiser, Tao Qian asked Mi Zhu for help. The so-called praiser, in a nutshell, was Zhengbin's deputy.

Three days before the crowning ceremony, Tao Qian had already led the potters to perform the "Dui Ri, Di Bin" again, and prayed in the ancestral temple, telling the ancestor Tao that another son has grown up, and he can no longer lick his face and pretend to be tender. Being a good boy, cheating and cheating is also subject to the punishment of the law, if not, please ask the ancestors to send down the decree of the gods, and slap him hard.

Thanks to Tao Qian being reasonable, he felt sorry for his son for not letting him fast for three days. After all, fasting was not part of the main procedure of the crowning ceremony, but it was determined according to the customs of each ancestor's family.

Tao Qian arranged the seats for receiving crowns at the northerly position of the 阼阶 in the middle of the temple, while all the officials in Xuzhou were located at the west steps. The reason for setting the seats in this way is because the 阼阶 is the seat for the host to receive guests.

The ancient guests lived in the west, so Yun Xibin.Therefore, the west steps are used for guests to go up and down, also known as the guest steps.

Above the first step is the main position, and the potter is crowned here, implying that he is qualified to replace his father in the future.

Tao Qian has been very busy these days for the crowning of the pottery merchant. Although he is the governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian must personally inform the guests of the date of his son's crowning, and cannot be replaced by others. This is called "preceptor" in ancient times. .

Moreover, the process of "abstinence from guests" is also very particular, similar to changing dynasties. Those who need to be invited "resign once and invite again."

For example, when Tao Qian came to Cao Bao's mansion, he had to stand in the west direction outside the gate, while the invited guests had to go out from the east direction and face the west direction, which is also a kind of etiquette.

Tao Qian first wanted to say to Cao Bao: "Qian has a son Shang, put Jiabu at the head of him, and I hope my son can teach him."

Gabe means crowned."Wuzi" here does not mean my son, but the son of "Wuzi" is a compliment for ancient men.

The general meaning is: My Tao Qian's big baby is about to be crowned, I hope Brother Bao, you can support the show and come to teach my son how to perform the crowning ceremony.

Although Cao Bao was very happy at this time, he had to finish the procedure. He had to bid farewell to Tao Qian, saying: "Leopard is not sensitive, I'm afraid I can't work together, because my son is sick, I dare to resign." Min means smart, and working together means offering service .

The meaning is roughly: Brother Qian, Cao Bao, I am very stupid. There is shit in it. If I go there, I am afraid that it will infect your son.

At this time, Tao Qian had to ask Cao Bao again: "I still hope that my son will teach me forever."

It means: if you don’t want to go, don’t go. I’m looking for you to save face. Don’t you have any idea who you are working for now?Hurry up and be quick.

At this time, Cao Bao is going to return the promise: "My son has a life, how dare you refuse?"

It means: okay, you are awesome, I don’t need your money, can’t I go?

Inviting guests at the Crown Ceremony is roughly the routine of "invite once, resign and invite again".

Not only Cao Bao, but also Wang Yun, Huangfusong, Mi Zhu, Zhao Yu, Wang Lang and many other people who are qualified to participate in the pottery crown ceremony, Tao Qian had to treat them one by one.

To be honest, it is much more difficult than Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage.

At this time, the pottery merchants had been brought to the east room of your temple by Mi Zhu, and they deliberately came out from the east to sit at the table. Coming out from the east is also auspicious.

The pottery merchant was ignorantly played by Mi Zhu. In the eyes of everyone, he was seated as if playing a monkey show. He untied his hair, and the admirer Mi Zhu personally combed his hair, tied the bun, added hairpins, and used black silk with 纚.

Huangfusong looked at the time and secretly thought that the auspicious time was approaching. After asking Tao Qian about the time, he solemnly prepared to crown the pottery. Behind him was the third box with three bamboo crowns, named Sanao, The three of them faced south and stood under the south hall of Xi'an, where the Jue Bian, Pi Bian, and Zibu crown were respectively placed in the three Ao.

The crowning is divided into three parts. The first crown is a hat made of black linen, called the black cloth crown.

Huangfusong solemnly put the black cloth crown on the potter's head, and said while wearing it: "On the auspicious day of the Lingmoon, I will start to add yuan clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, and follow Er Chengde. Shoukao Weiqi, introduce Er Jingfu. The grand duke was conferred in Yingqiu, and he was buried in the Zhou Dynasty after the fifth generation. The gentleman said: "Music, music is born by itself, and the etiquette does not forget its origin.There is a saying in ancient times: "The fox died in Zhengqiu Shouren."This first crown is an ancient crown, the meaning cannot be forgotten, Shang'er should keep it in mind. "

The pottery merchant nodded, leaned forward and said, "Students, remember, you must never forget your roots."

After wearing it, Mi Zhu, the admirer, fastened the missing item for the potter.

After finishing the tie, Huangfusong continued: "Since you don't forget your origin, let's go to the west and pay respects to the emperor who is far away in Chang'an."

The potter straightened his clothes, pointed at the sky, and bowed to the emperor from afar.

"I wish the emperor a long life."

Huangfu Song sighed, and pointed to the other side helplessly: "The west side is on that side."

"Oh." The potter turned around and bowed in the right direction again.

After the potters had finished respecting the emperor, Huangfusong bowed to the potters again in accordance with the etiquette system.

What happened next left the potter speechless. He needed to go back to the room, take off his hat, let Mi Zhu comb his hair again, and then come out to continue crowning.

This procedure is really cumbersome.

The second crown is the Jiapi Bianguan, a hat made of deerskin, implying that when a child grows up, he must be eligible for military service.

Huangfusong took off the black cloth crown, put the leather hat on for the potter, and continued: "The auspicious moon and the day, it is Shen'er's clothes. Respect Er's dignity, Shu Shende. My eyebrows live forever, and I will receive them forever." Hu Fu."

Then do it the same way as before.

The third time adding the Jue Bian crown means that he can participate in sacrificial ceremonies from now on, but this time is different from the previous two times in that Huangfusong needs to go down three steps to get the Jue Bian crown to wear for the potter.

"With the righteousness of the year, with the order of the month, Xianjiaer obeys. Brothers are present, so that they can become Jude. The yellow scorpion has no boundaries, and it is celebrated by the sky."

After listening to Huangfusong's rambling, the pottery merchant bowed to the people present one by one. He felt that he was like a gorilla being admired by others, the cute and stupid kind.

Ordinary scholars usually finish their work after reaching three pluses, but potters don't, and he still has a so-called "four pluses."

This time, the "Xuan Mian" was added, and the so-called four additions were only eligible for the princes and nobles.

Xuan Mian is a black outside and red inside hat, which is used by the princes to sacrifice all things in the four directions.

After being tortured again and again, the potter felt that he was about to collapse.

I don't know if these old guys will get a green hat for themselves if they continue to change hats like this.

Tianxing finished wearing all the hats he should wear, but at the same time, the most tense part was ushered in.

The big gift is done, and it should have a sign.

At this time, Huangfusong naturally couldn't overstep anymore, but he stepped aside and cast his eyes on Tao Qian.

Obviously, only his own father, Tao Qian, is qualified to use this name, and no one else has this right.

But unexpectedly, Tao Qian stood up, cupped his hands at Wang Yun, and said: "Wang Situ is the elder of the court, and he is also the leader of the minister. He has learned a lot more than the old man, and he will never give up. Please trouble Wang Situ."
