Chapter 67: Competing with Yuyu (1)

"Why not?" Shu Yan held a hat in each hand, "The Confucian scarf represents academics, and the crown represents official career. The Analects of Confucius says, 'If you are good at learning, you will become an official, and if you are good at officialdom, you will learn.' This is enough.

It shows that 'learning' and 'official' are intertwined and integrated with each other."

"Oh, I remembered that you read every night, and I seem to have heard you read something about learning to be excellent, being excellent to learn, and so on. Although I can't recite it, after you said this, I also understood something: Chapter 1

One sentence, 'To be good at learning, then become an official' means to study first and then become an official, while the second sentence, 'To be good at officialdom, then study' means to be an official first and then to study, is my understanding correct?"

"Yes, that's probably what it means. In fact, the understanding of ancient books can be said to be benevolent and wise. No one can really fully understand the meaning of the ancient sages, as long as it does not violate the original intention of the ancients."

Xiao Mo himself is a person who does not follow common sense. After hearing this method, he found it quite amusing, and then his worries turned into joy: "Since the saint means this, of course we can't go against him."

"Well, that's right. You choose one first."

"Brother Shu, you are a typical person who 'learns well and becomes an official', so you should wear this Confucian scarf first, and then wear this curly beam crown when you reach the second year. It is in line with you becoming a Confucian first and then an official.

My life journey; as for me, let me wear this roll-beam crown first. I am neither a Confucian scholar nor an official, so it doesn’t matter which one I wear first.”

"Who says you must be neither a Confucian scholar nor an official? In this life, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. Maybe you will actually become an official after wearing this curly beam crown!"

"Nonsense, how can I be an official? I am a Qiang person, and also a..." Xiao Mo was so outspoken that he almost revealed his true nature.

"What's wrong with the Qiang people? There are more Hu people serving as officials. What else are you talking about? Why did you say half of it?"

"I'm still a... freedom-loving person... hahaha, I'm not suitable for being an official." Xiao Mo interrupted with a smile, "We're going too far, it's more important to get down to business first."

"Well, we have been sitting on our knees for a long time."

Shu Yan held up the Juan Liang Guan, Xiao Mo held up the Confucian scarf, and Shu Yan opened his mouth to recite OnePlus's congratulatory message: "On this auspicious month, the Canadian yuan service will begin..."

"Wait a minute, what nonsense? You're so literal-minded. How can I keep up with you when you read so fast?"

"Oh." Shu Yan smiled, "Actually, the two of us are just amusing ourselves and deceiving ourselves. We are not the sons of a prince's family, so why do we need the 'three plus's' and 'three blessings'?

These congratulations are indeed a bit unfamiliar, so if you don’t know how to read them, you don’t have to read them, or you can just read some other words.”

"No! How can you recite something else casually for this once-in-a-lifetime important ritual? Recite slowly. You recite one sentence, and I will recite the same sentence."

Seeing that Xiao Mo was so serious, Shu Yan had no choice but to obey him. After the two of them read the congratulatory speech, they put the hats in their hands on the other's head. The two of them got up and went back to the room, taking off their clothes that were mocking each other,

Xiao Mo changed into a white robe with a butterfly pattern, and Shu Yan also changed into a white robe. They were the same two clothes they wore together when they went to play outside the peony garden that day.

The two people came out, looked at each other and smiled, Shu Yan said: "What a coincidence, we are wearing the same clothes that day!"

"What a coincidence. It's probably because the two of us have a "tacit understanding"."

"The so-called 'telepathy' can't really be called a coincidence at all, because I don't have any extra clothes, just these two pieces. The chance of such a coincidence is still very high."

Xiao Mo secretly thought: As a person, would you die if you were more romantic?...

In the crowning ceremony of two people, there are no parents, no guest of honor, no praisers, and no guests. There is no need to salute to anyone, but the two people appreciate each other.

Shu Yan looked at Xiao Mo, who was surrounded by butterflies. He looked like spring, with a bright smile. His black hair was neatly combed on his head, his eyes were clear, and he smiled slightly, revealing two rows of white teeth. His words, deeds, and gestures all revealed a secret.

The stock is happy and free.

The man with deep eyes is wearing a plain robe, a Confucian scarf, black hair pulled high, two thick eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes, not angry but powerful, a straight nose, slightly closed lips, not smiling. Looking sideways

Remove the forehead, sideburns, eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, the birthmark between the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, ears, lips, and even the cheeks, all have lines, outlining a handsome face with sharp edges.

"Xiao Mo, your outfit has both the elegance of a Chinese man and the wild boldness of a Hu man, and there is also an indescribable feminine beauty. This unique beauty of yours really impresses me.

It’s indescribable, and the beauty is at an extraordinary level. There are very few beautiful foreign men like you in the world.”

The words of the man under the eyes made the owner of the eyes laugh: "Beauty varies from person to person. There are many types of handsome men and beauties in the world: masculine beauties like you, feminine beauties like me, weak beauties like Shi De, beauties like those from wealthy families.

The delicate beauty like a lady, the natural beauty like a poor girl, etc. There are many kinds, Brother Shu, which one do you like?"

"I dare not claim to be masculine and beautiful, but I think men should be more masculine. Is it also called beauty to be as frail and beautiful as a gentleman from a noble family?"

"Haha, in your eyes, men like me and Shi De are not beautiful, right?"

"Uh-" Shu Yan paused, "Although you and he both lack masculinity, I always feel that your beauty is different from his."

"What's different?"

"I can't tell you exactly what the difference is. You seem to be a bit hard on the outside but soft on the inside, while he is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Although he is weak in his movements, he has a man's chicness in his bones; while you are bold and capable in your behavior.

,but--"

"But what?"

"But..." Shu Yan scratched his head, "I can't tell."

Xiao Mo secretly smiled: "No matter what, let's not count me as an alternative. Just take the two types of beauty of you and Shi De. Like you, you are both elegant and resolute, handsome and capable, and full of masculinity.

, Men who exude heroic spirit are probably not as popular in today’s society as weak heroic men like Shi De.”

The handsome man smiled bitterly: "I know this. Even though the whole society is like this, it doesn't mean that it's not a pathology."

"Yes, but I'm different from them." Xiao Mo looked at Shu Yan and smiled sweetly, "I just like you who are so masculine..."

"We've gone too far, let's hurry up and win the title a second time."

The two knelt down and sat on the mat, straightening each other's buns. Xiao Mo followed Shu Yan and recited Erjia's congratulations, and exchanged hats and crowns with each other. When they returned to the room, Xiao Mo changed into a goldfish pattern satin robe, and Shu Yan

I changed into the newly issued ministerial robe, although it is not a formal crowning dress, but it is fresh and interesting.

The two looked at each other again.

"Our crowning ceremony is over."

"Yes, it's over." Shu Yan's eyes were full of gratitude, "Thank you, Xiao Mo, for giving me a fresh, different and happy crowning gift."

"You too." Xiao Mo looked at Shu Yan with a smile.

"What, what's over?" came an unfluent voice.

The two of them turned around and saw a man carrying a large pot of wine walking towards them with some staggering steps.

"Brother Ye, why are you here?"

Ye Chung walked closer, obviously smelling of alcohol, "Ever since the Ministry of Civil Affairs asked us, those of us who are filial and honest people who have not been awarded official positions, to move into this mansion, we have been doing nothing all day long, just waiting for notifications from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. We really can't get in.

Those who can't go back are determined to go back, but they don't give up; but if they don't go back, they can only waste their time here. I don't know how long it will take. Today, I felt bored and wanted to drink some wine. Halfway through the drink, I suddenly remembered

Brother Shu, you didn't go on duty today, you should rest in the lower house, so I wanted to come and have a few drinks with you."

"That's just right. Brother Xiao Mo is here too. Let's have a good drink together."

"Wonderful, wonderful." Ye Chong said drunkenly, "Hey, what are you two doing? I just heard you say 'it's over'?"

"Oh, we two are crowning each other."

"Crown? Let's talk about it. Who should we crown?"

"The two of us crown each other."

"To crown each other?" Ye Chong was confused, "Did I drink too much today? Why can't I understand what you said?"

"Of course you don't understand, because this has never happened before. We created it ourselves." Xiao Mo replied with a smile.

"Homemade?"

"That's right." Xiao Mo briefly talked about how he and Shu Yan were crowned.

"Oh, I really want to understand. It's quite creative for you two to crown each other." Ye Chung shook his head and became more awake, "However, although you two little brothers are smart, you are still young after all.

Why did you forget one thing? There is still a key step left to do, how could it end like this?"

"What's up?"

"The crown character. After adding the crown, you need to get the cousin character. Brother Xiao Mo doesn't know, but Brother Shu should know."

Shu Yan smiled and said: "After adding a crown, you need a title. I know this. It's just that although the importance of the title is second to the correct name, it must be consistent with the person's behavior and conduct. It cannot be chosen randomly. It should be handed over to an elder.

Or if a well-educated person comes to get it, how can we choose a nickname for ourselves without knowing the heights and heights of the world? If it is too high, wouldn’t it make others laugh? "

"How can it be so high? With a character like Brother Shu, no words can be exaggerated."

Xiao Mo's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Ye, what a coincidence! Originally, the crowning ceremony for Brother Shu and I was held very hastily, and there was no highly respected and learned person to host it for us, so we didn't consider the crowning ceremony. Brother Ye

He is knowledgeable and talented, and is older than us, so Brother Laoye is the right one for this matter."

Seeing Ye Chung hesitate for a moment, Xiao Mo rolled his eyes, sighed at Shu Yan and said, "Brother Ye is learned and talented, has a good reputation, and is a good friend of us. It is perfect to be the person with this title. However,

People think that we are helpless children from a poor family and don't bother to give us names. Brother Shu, we'd better ask someone else to give us names some other time, so don't make things difficult for Brother Ye."

"Oh, no, no, no, that's not what I meant." Ye Chung's face turned red after hearing this, and he hurriedly explained, "My original intention was that I am immoral and incompetent, and I am not worthy of being the titleholder of the two of you. Xiao Mo

Brother, you have really unjustly said this to me. Well, since you two have not given up, I will be the person with the title."

Xiao Mo laughed secretly when he saw that his provoking method was successful.

"Although I, Ye, am not talented, I have attended many weddings, funerals, and drinking ceremonies in my hometown. I understand all these etiquettes. Come on, come on, you two are still sitting here.

On the mat, I will give you a title."

Ye Chung looked at the pair of young men kneeling on the mat, thought for a moment and said, "I have the words."

Xiao Mo asked: "What is it?"

"Why are you so anxious? Listen to me reciting the congratulatory message first." Ye Chun took another sip of wine, shook his head, and said loudly, "The peach blossoms shine brightly. When my son returns, he will be suitable for his family..."

"Ah? What are you reciting? Brother Ye, are you really drunk and confused?" After hearing Ye Chung Nian's congratulations, Shu Yan was angry and funny, and hurriedly interrupted him. "You are presiding over the crowning ceremony now, and

If it's not a wedding, how can you recite this poem "Tao Yao" from the Book of Songs?"

"Oh, oh, oh, I made a mistake, I made a mistake." Ye Chung slapped his forehead hard, "Drinking will make things worse, drinking will make things worse."

Xiao Mo also heard the clues. He turned to look at the majestic and handsome man kneeling next to him, his Adam's apple slid, and he was accusing the drunken man.
