All Hail Cousin Brother

Mr. Xie looked pleased.

Mr. Xie's eyes turned red on the spot, almost rude to others.

Two plus a gift.

The three plus rituals begin.

The administrator brought the ruppa and the hairpin crown.

The old princess of Long County came forward and congratulated: "With the blessing of the year and the order of the month, Xian Jia will obey. Brothers are here to achieve great virtue. Huang T (gou, meaning longevity) has no boundaries and is celebrated by heaven."

The old princess of Longjun removed Yu Youyao's hairpin and added a hairpin crown.

The hairpin crown is a reward from the palace, with twelve (hui) and four phoenix crowns. It is similar to the princess's big crown, but it is not the same.

The phoenix on the princess's big crown looks even more gorgeous, dignified and majestic. The hairpin-length hairpin crown looks lively and lighter, and is not as valuable as the big crown.

Princess Lishan crowned!

Yu Youyao added a long-sleeved gown that matched the hairpin, which was also prepared by the palace.

The royal family members wore purple, the princes and ministers wore blue, and the dusk mountain purple robes with long sleeves and long sleeves were made of purple. They were elegant and noble. They were inlaid with many pearls and jade of equal sizes and various gemstones, as many as thousands.

At first glance, I just feel that it is jeweled, gorgeous and dignified.

There was no shortage of these precious pearls and gems in the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also unambiguous, which shocked everyone present.

"Three obeisances, a feast of mountains, rivers and seas, the sky will be clear and the earth will be bright!"

Yu Youyao knelt down and faced south to worship heaven and earth.

Three plus gifts.

Next is [Zhi Li] (ritual).

Liquor wine is used when a concubine makes a wedding ceremony, and wine is used when a concubine makes a wedding ceremony.

A minister came to the stage, removed the hairpin ceremony decorations, and set up a wine banquet on the west steps. The old princess of Longjun bowed her head and invited Yu Youyao to the table.

Yu Youyao stood on the west side, facing south.

After the ceremony is completed, the [Jiao (calling) son] ceremony is performed.

Jiao: teaching, offering sacrifices.

It's a ritual.

Princess Lishan presented the wine, and the old princess of Long County took the wine and recited a congratulatory message: "The wine is sweet and thick, and I recommend it to you. I worship and sacrifice it to determine your good fortune. I will not forget the rest of my life." .”

Yu Youyao bowed, took the wine, knelt down at the table, sprinkled some on the ground to worship heaven and earth, dipped his lips in a symbolic gesture, and placed the wine on the table.

The host served white rice, and Yu Youyao also ate some symbolically.

After the Jiaozi ceremony is completed, the [zizizhe] ceremony begins.

At this moment, a young boy burst into the hall panting. Everyone watching the ceremony was stunned. They all felt that this young boy did not understand the rules. How could he break into the princess' hairpin ceremony? !

The graceful haircut ceremony was interrupted, and it missed the auspicious time of the princess. Not only was it unlucky, but it also caused the princess to lose face.

Even if it’s a big deal, you should hold it back.

Everyone couldn't help but shook their heads and looked at Princess Shao Yichang.

Yu Youyao's face was calm, and there was no hint of displeasure at being interrupted. Just when she was about to ask what happened, she saw the boy kneeling on the ground with a plop, shouting: "Miss, there is news from the Yamen. I'm talking about great joy in Guanzhong. It snowed in seven or eight counties yesterday. The drought is over, it's over..."

Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar.

"It's snowing, is it really snowing?" Some people couldn't believe it.

"It's snowing, it's finally snowing. It's really the end of the road..." someone shouted excitedly.

"It's so good, so good..." Someone burst into tears.

"..."

Although Liaodong was not greatly affected by the severe drought in Guanzhong, millions of refugees poured into Liaodong, which also affected the hearts of thousands of people in Liaodong.

Everyone got excited.

But Yu Youyao's face turned a little more solemn.

After a brief excitement, the haircut ceremony continued, but Yu Youyao didn't know that the eyes of everyone present became more respectful, even with a hint of fanaticism.

Aunt Xu saw everything in her eyes,

He quietly left the hall and found a clever boy who went out to inquire about the news.

The boy's soles seemed to be greased and he ran out of Yu Yuan.

The face of the old princess of Long County was still full of excitement. When she was reciting her congratulations, her tone became a little more solemn without realizing it, and there was a sense of solemnity all over her body:

"The etiquette is ready, and the month and day are auspicious, and the word "Yuan" is given to you. The word "Yuan" is Kongjia, and the fashionable scholar You (You) is suitable. It is suitable for fakes, and it will be protected forever. It is called Zhi Yaofu."

Yu Youyao was vaguely aware of this change, and felt something strange in her heart, but it was a bit inexplicable.

Thinking that Song Mingzhao was not using the cousin to cause trouble, he did not abandon the cousin that his mother had chosen for her before she died, and immediately replied: "Although Zhiyao is not sensitive, I dare not to sacrifice it day and night!"

After the ceremony, the [listening and training] ceremony begins.

Since Yu Zongzheng was not present, Xie Xun paid homage to his uncle on behalf of his father. He also said with joy on his face: "You should remember carefully, listen carefully to the speech, be aware of the inhuman accusations, be patient and think twice; because of the circumstances, Struggle. How can I know that it is not my fault? I need to think about it calmly."

Don't listen or believe others' gossip. How do you know if they are deliberately stirring up trouble?

When dealing with people, you should be patient, think again and again, think twice before you understand things, cultivate your nature through thinking, cultivate your virtue, and others will truly respect you.

This is a warning to Yu Youyao to be wary of anxiety and impatience, to cultivate his nature with meditation, and to cultivate his virtue. With Yu Youyao's current status, although he does not need to be cautious, it is still the way to deal with things before and after thinking.

Yu Youyao listened to the instruction: "Although Zhiyao is not sensitive, I dare not accept it!"

Yu Youyao once again paid homage to her parents and elders, and bowed to the guests of honor, spectators, ministers, and praisers one by one to show her gratitude, and then paid tribute to all the guests.

At this point, the ceremony is complete.

Xie Xun stood up and announced: "Hereby, the Yu family has a young and graceful daughter. She is filial, pure and quiet, good-looking, chaste and courteous. She is a good example. She will receive a hairpin on an auspicious day, and she will be dressed in clothes, and the hairpin will be completed..."

The people watching the ceremony all sighed that the etiquette of the hairpin ceremony, as well as the procedures and greetings, were all the same, with not much difference. Whether the hairpin ceremony was done well or not depended on who was the guest of honor, host, and praiser. Whoever has a more prominent status will have a greater reputation as a virtuous person, and correspondingly, the etiquette will be more complicated.

Ordinary families would find someone they know well to be the guest of honor, and invite a few well-connected ladies to come and watch the ceremony, as long as the etiquette is fulfilled.

Rich families are naturally more particular.

For Princess Shaoyi, although the wedding ceremony was not very grand, it could not bear the weight of the person, but it was a treatment that only the royal family had.

After the ceremony was completed, the three uncles Xie Xun, Xie Liao and Xie You were busy preparing for the banquet.

The second old lady and the clan leader's wife were busy greeting the guests.

The Xie Mansion lives up to its reputation as a wealthy man. There are eight major cuisines on the table, various medicinal foods, snacks, and fresh fruits that are almost difficult to eat in this season. There is an almost constant supply.

Not only that, the Xie Mansion also spent a lot of money to set up a flowing water banquet on the street for three days. The flowing water banquet was set up for ten miles. During the flowing water banquet, everyone can get a free meal and a reward of 200 Wen, which can be used by ordinary people. Before we have four children, the expenses for three or four months are quite large.

At this time, the news of heavy snowfall in Guanzhong swept across Xiangping like snowflakes.

The whole city of Xiangping was in uproar and bustling with excitement.
