Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

"The man sets the arc on the left side of the door, don't you know which side is on the left?"

"Yes, it's this way, yes, yes, that's it!"

Wang Wu stood under the door of the side room. In front of the door, there was a servant standing on a ladder, holding a beautifully shaped hard bow and hanging it on the eaves of the side room.

In the room, Xiao Guozheng, wearing a delicate brocade robe, was sleeping soundly on the bed, and beside him, there was a beautiful white jade Zhang.

I don't know when, Li Xiu has appeared outside the door, watching the scene directed by Wang Wu.

This seemingly inexplicable action naturally belongs to the etiquette and customs of this era.

There are birth ceremony, three dynasties ceremony, full moon ceremony, hundred days ceremony, first year ceremony.

Like a birth present.

It is the bed that gives birth to a man and sleeps. Clothes that carry clothes, and Zhang that carry clothes.

It means that if a boy is born, let him sleep on the bed, dress him in gorgeous clothes, and play Bai Yuzhang for him, which means attaching importance to the boy and yearning for the future.

It is a place where women are born and sleep. The sleeves of clothes, the tiles of clothes

There is also a bow hanging in front of the door, which has its own uniqueness. Since ancient times, the bow and the silk have been some distinct gender representations.

Men set the arc to the left of the door, and women set the bridle to the right of the gate.

It is also a type of birth ceremony, designed to reveal the gender to visiting guests.

Among them, each ritual has its own unique meaning, unique civilization and beauty, and it is also full of the unique cultural characteristics of this nation.

The existence of this Chinese civilization is precisely composed of seemingly inconspicuous rituals intertwined to form the soul of this civilization.

In this way, even though Li Xiu did not like red tape, he attached great importance to these etiquette.

To be precise, these rituals full of civilization and beauty, these rituals with meanings that are greater than the worldly copper smell, are the foundation of this national culture, and this foundation is the nation that has lasted for thousands of years and suffered countless disasters, but it has always been able to reunite. The most important reason together.

Without this ritual, the Chinese civilization based on ritual would lose its soul.

A civilization without a soul, even if it is strong for a while, is only strong for a while, and once it declines, it will soon disappear into the long river of history.

For example, the collapse of ritual and music in the Zhou Dynasty resulted in a substantive division for hundreds of years.

Until Qin unified the world, the book and the text car were on the same track, and the nation was reluctantly kneaded together again, but even with the strength of Qin, it was difficult to stop the backlash of this forcible kneading, the collapse of the first emperor, the rebellion of the six kingdoms, the Qin, the two die.

If it wasn't for the Han after the Qin Dynasty, the Confucianism reshaped the etiquette and cultural heritage of this nation, and only initially established the cultural concept of the unified civilization of this civilization.

Therefore, when dealing with ritual, those in power in all dynasties and dynasties paid great attention to it.

Li Xiu, who is in power in the world, naturally attaches great importance to it. He leads the world and leads by example, not only big gifts, but also meticulous little gifts.

In the early morning, this street full of powerful and powerful people was already disturbed by the noise of Qin's Duke's mansion, and he didn't even need to inquire.

And with the good news from one family after another, the news of the birth of Duke Qin's mansion and Duke Xiaoguo spread like the wind.

In Sun Mansion, Sun Chuanting watched the good news from Duke Qin's mansion brought by his servants, and did not speak for a long time.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting said slowly: "Has the governor of the three sides arrived at Duke Qin's mansion?"

"Reporting to my lord, Xingye, the governor of the three sides, entered Beijing and arrived at Duke Qin's mansion this morning."

"It's coming... it's coming..."

Sun Chuanting murmured softly, the sadness in his eyes deepened a bit.

The servant stood aside, although he didn't understand the meaning of those words, the tone alone made his heart tremble, as if a catastrophe was imminent.

"Get ready, wait for the next trip to the palace."

In the end, Sun Chuanting said softly, then slowly turned around and walked into the mansion.

At this time, in the Jingtaifang camp, all the pro-militaries commanded the envoys, and Lu Xiangsheng, who got the news, seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

He slowly put down the military affairs in his hand, got up and changed into a humble cloth robe, and then, in front of the bronze mirror, tidied up his clothes.

Then he went back to the seat and sat down. He didn't deal with military affairs anymore. He just sat like this, as if waiting for something.

Time passed little by little, and I don't know when, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Then, a man dressed as a servant pushed the door and entered. The man raised his hands to Lu Xiang and said softly. .

"My lord, my lady, please come over."

"understood."

Lu Xiangsheng was obviously not surprised at all, he got up directly, and as this man came out of the side door of the government office of the military commander, he sat in a sedan chair, and quietly commanded the commander from the military commander to the office. Go to the palace.

In the East Factory, after hearing the news, Cao Huachun was also speechless for a long time, and his expression was extremely complicated.

"Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?"

In the hall, Cao Huachun's elder brother Cao Huachun asked with some doubts when he saw his appearance.

"The birth of Duke Xiao Guo is a big joy. Although the relationship between the Queen Mother and Duke Qin is now rigid, fourth brother, don't be rude to Qin Gong because of this!"

Cao Huayu followed suit.

Listening to the words of the two brothers, Cao Huachun couldn't help sighing heavily. After a long silence, he looked at the two brothers in front of him: "Big brother, second brother, leave the capital, the farther you go, the better!"

"Incognito, never reveal your relationship with your younger brother!"

After saying this, both Cao Huachun and Cao Huayu's expressions changed, and immediately, the elder brother Cao Huachun frowned and said, "Fifth brother, is it so serious?"

Cao Huachun shook his head. He didn't say a word, but his expression was extremely sad.

Seeing this, Cao Huachun said again: "Fifth brother, since that's the case, let's go together as brothers!"

Cao Huayu: "Yes, let's go together. Over the years, we have also accumulated a lot of belongings. Wherever we go, the three brothers can live well."

"You go, I can't go!"

Cao Huachun shook his head. Although his expression was gloomy, his attitude was extremely firm.

"Fifth brother, if you don't leave, as a brother, how can you leave your brother alone!"

"If you don't leave, neither will we!"

Seeing the two brothers who were equally determined, Cao Huachun almost prayed:

"Let's go, it's too late, we won't be able to leave, our old Cao family can't be cut off from this capital!"

"Big brother, second brother, don't think about yourself, think about a few nephews, think about our old Cao family!"

"If we don't leave, none of us will survive! Our old Cao family will also die!"

Cao Huachun, who had been suppressed for too long, finally broke out at this moment. After venting, Cao Huachun seemed to be a few years older, his spirit was decadent, and he waved his hand weakly: "I'm ready for the household registration guide. People can find out, two brothers, take care!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Huachun dragged his heavy body and walked towards the back hall step by step, leaving Cao Huachun and Cao Huayu standing there at a loss.

…

In the mourning hall in the palace, in front of Chongzhen's coffin, Wang Chengen had been kneeling for a long time. Similarly, he had been talking to himself for a long time. It seemed that the previous emperor was still there. Wang Chengen reported the changes and situation of the government little by little.

"Your Majesty, Duke Qin has a queen. It's a boy..."

"Your Majesty, you are not mistaken about Duke Qin. This old slave can see that Duke Qin really really wants to make Daming better..."

"The slave thinks~www.wuxiaspot.com~ many things are involuntarily, the empress dowager is, so is Qin Gong..."

"But... Your Majesty... The Empress Dowager is completely paranoid, this old slave is incompetent, I can't persuade the Empress!"

Wang Chengen was already in tears, crying in front of the coffin of Chongzhen.

"The old slave is incompetent, Your Majesty..."

In the end, Wang Chengen wiped the tears from his face and kowtowed violently: "The old slave has lost his way, please forgive me."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, even if this old slave fights for this life, he will still keep His Majesty's bloodline..."
