Chapter 64: Crown Ceremony and Bathing (2)
"Xiao Mo, I brought two bathtubs. Is your bath water ready?" Shu Yan came back carrying two wooden bathtubs.
There was smoke from the stove in the kitchen, and Xiao Mo was boiling water in the kitchen. "Okay, okay, Brother Shu, you can put two bathtubs in each of our bedrooms, and we can take a bath right away."
Shu Yan put the two bathtubs away, "You and I are both alone and wandering outside. Why do we have to have an adult ceremony? Why do we need a false reputation?"
Xiao Mo turned around and said seriously: "Brother Shu, I know that you are a gentleman, and as a gentleman, you must have a formal crowning ceremony. If not, I'm afraid you will have regrets in your life."
Xiao Mo was talking about what Shu Yan was thinking. Hearing this, he felt warm in his heart, "It's really hard for you. Fortunately, you are smart and came up with this idea."
"Of course." Xiao Mo said proudly, "The two of us crown each other. Each of us acts as a parent, a crowner, and a guest. We truly have three uses for one thing. But there is no other way. Who can let
We are helpless."
"How can you say that one thing has three uses? It would be more appropriate to say that it has three uses." Shu Yan said with a smile, "I understand your kindness, let's just talk about it briefly."
"It's simple enough. Not only do we not have the formal crown dress with three plus gifts, we have changed the 'three plus' to 'two plus'. We don't even have the 'two plus' crown dress. We can only use other
Clothes instead.”
"It's already very good. We don't have any spare money and spare time to take care of those things. We can even save the bathing."
"No matter what, everything can be simple, but the bath before the crowning ceremony cannot be omitted." Xiao Mo said, lifting the lid of the pot, "The bath soup has been boiled, let's scoop out the water immediately."
Shu Yan put water in the two bathtubs, Xiao Mo walked into the inner room, took out a piece of Polyporus polygonatum and a handful of bath beans, handed them to Shu Yan's hand, and said: "Here, take a good wash." Then he replied.
He went in again, locked the door behind him, and shouted outside, "No peeking."
"What a joke, what's so good about you, a grown man?"
The two of them undressed and walked into the bathtub. This bathtub was much smaller than the bathtubs used by rich people. Shu Yan was tall and could only accommodate a small part of his body when he sat in it. Either his whole legs were exposed, or
Whole upper body
With his chest and thighs exposed outside, he was hesitating when he heard a shout from inside: "You thought we were in a pond. The bathtub is so small, how can we wash together? You should wash your hair first, from top to bottom."
Just take a shower."
"Oh, yes, yes, I'm confused." Shu Yan walked out of the bathtub, bent over and soaked his hair first, applied Polyporus on it, then washed it, stepped into the bathtub again, and applied it with bath beans.
Shu Yan doesn’t use these frequently. He only uses them once in a while. He feels that bathing with these things is really refreshing.
"Xiao Mo, your Zhuling and bath beans are really useful."
"Of course, I don't usually use it. On such an important day today, how can I not take a good shower?"
"Thank you very much, brother Xiaomo."
"Thank you, it's a trivial matter...ah, it's broken."
Shu Yan heard Xiao Mo's tone suddenly change from pride to surprise, and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"
"I don't have any bath beans anymore. I was careless just now and gave you all the bath beans by accident."
Shu Yan let out a long breath, "Hey, what do I think it is? I'm making such a fuss. I still have it here. Open the door and wait for me to send you in." Shu Yan stood up, took the bath beans and walked away naked.
When I went to Xiaomo's door and pushed it open, I found that the doors and windows were tightly closed and covered with large curtains, leaving no gaps.
Xiao Mo was so frightened that he hid his body in the water, leaving only his head and feet outside, "No! You, go back quickly."
"What's wrong? Don't you have any bath beans? I'll just give you some."
"Oh...I suddenly remembered that I have used that before, but I felt uncomfortable after using it, so I can't use it anymore." Xiao Mo joked.
Shu Yan shook his head, "Weird, you are really weird."
Hearing that Shu Yan had walked back, Xiao Mo felt relieved, "It's so scary. What would happen if my daughter was seen by him?"
"Xiao Mo, have you finished washing?" Shu Yan had finished washing and wiped his body with a towel.
"It'll be ready soon. Brother Shu, please change your clothes first and wait for me in the courtyard. I'll be out soon."
"It's been changed. I'll lay out two mats there first. After you come out, we will start our crowning ceremony." Shu Yan didn't dare to think that he could have a crowning ceremony. He was very excited. In addition,
It was the first time I took a bath like this, and I felt refreshed all over my body, and I was very excited. Xiao Mo also felt very nervous and uneasy when I took a bath so close to a man for the first time.
…
"I have never taken a bath like this. Ever since I was a child, you have been waiting for me to take a bath. I don't know how to wash myself." Shi De complained while sitting in the huge bathtub. He was the only one in the huge bathroom, and all the maids were standing there.
Outside the door.
"Sir, please be a little aggrieved. The head of the house and the mistress have given orders not to allow us to come near. Today is your important day. You must bathe and fast. You must be pious, have no distracting thoughts, and you must not touch women." Ayan said across the bathroom.
The door advised.
"But, I really don't know how to wash." Shi De was at a loss when faced with many bathing objects.
"Sir, all the supplies have been prepared for you. They are placed on the wooden couch next to the bathtub. You can reach it with your hand. There is a heater in the back. It's not cold at all."
"How to use these things?"
"The porcelain jar contains rice milk, the black one is Polyporus, the yellow and white ones are bath beans, the green ones are spices, the golden one in the small porcelain bottle is osmanthus oil, and the white one in the small red sandalwood box is powder.
Burning agarwood by the stove. Rice milk and Polyporus are used to wash your hair. The rice milk is warm. Remember, when washing your hair, you should use rice milk first and then Polyporus; that bath
The beans are used to wash the body; among the five bath towels next to it, one is used to wipe the head, two are used to wipe the upper body, and two are used to wipe the lower body. After drying the body, put on the bathrobe and wash it by the stove.
Dry your hair, apply osmanthus oil on your head, apply spices on your body, apply powder on your face, then comb your hair with an ivory comb and make a boy bun."
A Miao was very familiar with this process. She explained everything clearly to Shi De through the door.
"No, no, it's too complicated. Please speak more slowly." Shi De listened a little confused. How could he remember this? Every time he took a shower, he just closed his eyes and enjoyed it.
"Sir, if you can't remember...otherwise, if I say the same thing, you can do the same thing." Although A Miao knew that Shi De didn't know how to wash himself, because he had to fast, he definitely couldn't go in and wash it for him, "Let's start with washing.
Start from the beginning…”
Ah Miao and Ah Yan were using the remote control to take a bath outside the door. Although they just used their mouths, it was more laborious than doing it themselves. While they were anxious, they suddenly saw a little maid coming and saying, "The master of the house has ordered: Everything is ready outside."
, the guests are all waiting, tell the young master to hurry up."
"Oh, oh, please report back to the master. The young master will be fine soon."
As soon as the little maid went there, she heard a "squeak" sound coming from inside. It turned out that Shi De heard his father urging him, and when he got out of the bathtub, he got anxious and slipped. Shi De groaned, and A Miao heard the cry.
In desperation, she wanted to open the door and go in. Fortunately, Ayan stopped her and said, "You broke the rules and ruined the good things of the young master. Can you afford it?"
"Yes, I almost missed something important. Master, how are you? Can you move?"
"Ouch - I can move, but it hurts."
In fact, A Miao and A Yan also knew in their hearts that if a young man fell on the ground, what could happen? It's just that the people in Shi's house usually pampered Shi De like this.
Shi De came out of the shower, put on Caiyi, and styled his hair into the boyish bun he had worn since childhood. Caiyi is the clothes to be worn before the crowning ceremony, that is, the clothes of childhood. The formal crowning ceremony requires "three additions"
", that is, you need to add three crowns and prepare three sets of formal crown costumes. These three sets of crown costumes are: the silk cloth crown used by OnePlus and the corresponding black Xuan Duan costume, which represents ability.
Wen; the leather ben used by the second plus and the corresponding white plain clothes represent the ability to fight; the jue ben used by the third plus and the corresponding red henshang clothing represent status. In addition, Caiyi,
It is equal to four sets of clothes. From picking clothes, boy bun, to gradually changing into three sets of formal crown clothes, it represents a person's transformation from childhood to an adult who is capable of various roles.
At the crowning ceremony, Shi Hui and all the guests were all dressed in black clothes and belts, and took their seats. Shi De came out from the bath, walked to the stage, and bowed to the guests. When the guests saw Shi De wearing bright clothes, they swayed
Chic and elegant
She has a figure, delicate facial features, clear eyes, a head of bright black hair that shines in the sun, and her already delicate skin looks smoother and whiter under the influence of makeup. Her every move exudes fragrance.
"Wow, what a handsome young man!" The scene was in an uproar, and people were whispering and praising him.
Jia Gong said to Ji Si: "Young Master Shi is really like a beautiful woman!"
"Well, if you don't look at his head, who would believe that he is an adult? His cheeks look like those of a thirteen or fourteen year old."
At this time, Shi Hui came over and said to Jia Gong: "Jia Zhoudu, please come to the stage and take your place. Let's start the ceremony."
There are four main roles in the crowning ceremony: the crowner is the young man to be crowned; the host is the father of the crowner; the guest of honor is the person who crowns the crowner, who is usually a distinguished and respected person; the praiser is to assist the guest of honor
The person who was crowned and the person who praised the ceremony were younger than the guest of honor. Jia Gong was the guest of honor and Xiahoumen was the guest of honor.
Although Shi Hui had invited Jia Gong as the guest of honor, Jia Gong couldn't help but refuse when he saw that those present today were either officials from the central government or celebrities of the day: "Jia is stupid and may insult Shi Hou and others."
Young Master, I think it’s better to let Prince Anfenghou, Chu Zhong’s Consort, or Ji Zhongzheng be the guest of honor.”
Being the guest of honor is very dignified. It has been booked long ago, so how can you change it at will? Jia Gong was only showing humility on the surface. Everyone knew that this was a polite comment, so they all expressed humility: Ji Si said that although he and Shi
My family is from the same hometown, but Jiazhou is here, so no matter what,
It was not his turn; Prince Consort Wang Dun said that there were so many highly virtuous and highly respected people, but he was young and still a family member, so he was not suitable to be an official guest; Anfenghou Wang Rong said that everyone in Jiazhou was highly virtuous and he was from the same hometown as Shihou, so this
You should be the guest of honor.
