Chapter 628 Na Cai Day, Impatient
Chapter 628 Na Cai Ri, impatient
Author: A Lotus Essence
It's approaching noon.
The visitor sent a message to invite the old lady and all the guests to the ancestral temple to watch the ceremony. The Yan family ancestral temple is located to the north of the old house, covers a large area, and is very neatly built.
The white jade is the platform, and the leaky windows cover the shadows.
The fragrant wood is profound.
When they arrived, there was already a crowd of people standing outside, including ministers from various ministries and dignitaries from the court.
Even the crown prince Li Jue and the second prince arrived.
He was surrounded by people, chatting and laughing in low voices. Among the crowd of people, the young masters of the Yan family and their relatives and elders were all wearing Xuanyi and Xuanshang, standing on the east and west sides.
The appearance is solemn.
Two old men stood due north, talking with smiles. The eldest princess glanced at Surao and explained to her in a low voice: "Those two, one is Duke Yan, and the other is Grand Master Cui.
He is also the guest of honor who will preside over the crown ceremony of the Crown Prince."
"The last person who asked him to be crowned was the prince."
Surao nodded and saw some familiar faces in the crowd, "Why are the fourth princes of Dayan here too?"
And Le Shichuan.
"He is a distinguished guest of the imperial court. Since he has taken the initiative to visit us, Yan has no reason to refuse."
"General Xie is also here."
An unknown noblewoman in the crowd raised her voice. Surao took a look and saw a young man wearing a black robe with wide sleeves and standing with his hands behind his back. His slender and upright figure had a graceful and wanton look that was different from that of a young man from an aristocratic family.
He is so outstanding that people can spot him at a glance.
Su Rao couldn't help but sigh that the prince's crowning ceremony had alarmed almost all the royal relatives in Shengjing.
This is the influence of the head of the family.
After Master Qingdeng, several pavilion elders in the court, Tianguan Tomb Prime Minister Lu Chuqing and others sat down, the tedious ritual process began. Guests were welcomed into the temple, those who praised the temple sang lyrics, and invited Yun to express their gratitude.
Yan Yun was dressed in Cai Yi, bowed to his elders and sat on his knees in the temple.
As the guest of honor, Master Cui stood up, came to him, combed his hair, tied it into a bun, and performed the initial crowning ceremony.
"On an auspicious day of the month, start wearing more hair, abandon the childishness of youth, and prudently practice adult virtues. I wish you longevity, peace, and profound blessings."
"Thank you, sir."
Yan Yun bowed in obeisance, retreated and returned the gift, added another crown, three crowns, and then all the guests congratulated and paid homage to their parents and elders.
There were many guests in the ancestral temple, and the scene was solemn.
Su Rao stood in the crowd, watching him kneeling in the middle of the ancestral temple and being praised and congratulated by the people. He saw him dressed in all his splendor, able to move with ease, and politely and thoughtfully thanked and talked to all parties.
He became an official with twenty crowns.
But he entered an official position at a young age, shouldered the expectations of his tribe and people's livelihood, and worked hard for it for several years.
While others are riding horses and riding in the streets, admiring the moon and going for a walk.
He went on missions to foreign lands, regained the kingdom, took charge of the criminal justice department, punished rape and punished evil. Everyone said that the prince was gifted with talents, favored ministers and powerful people, but they didn't know how much he had to bear for this.
He once looked like a boy, but he never became a boy.
Thinking of this, Surao suddenly felt a little depressed in her heart. Yue Qingshuang stood beside her and inadvertently caught a glimpse of her frowning from the corner of his eye. He followed his gaze and happened to see Yan Yun.
I was immediately shocked.
No way, how could anyone frown at his third brother’s handsomeness?
She gently tugged on the sleeve corner of the person next to her, "Ah Zhao..."
"What's wrong?"
As soon as the words came out, it was not Luo Zhao, but her mother-in-law Zou. Yue Qingshuang touched her confused gaze and shook her head quickly.
Zou didn't care and turned around to watch the ceremony again.
Yue Qingshuang looked at her husband with some sadness, this situation is not good...
The ceremony lasted for three hours.
Surao knew that the family valued etiquette and the etiquette was complicated, but she didn't expect it to be this complicated. Fortunately, she passed the hairpin ceremony.
Her hairdo ceremony was not filled with guests.
No fancy clothes.
They just held a simple ceremony, delivered a congratulatory message, and invited Mrs. Li to witness it. Thinking about it now, it feels like a lifetime ago.
On the day of the crowning ceremony, Mrs. Yan was busy entertaining guests.
Therefore, the old Duke and Master Qingdeng agreed to invite a matchmaker to the house the next day to discuss the marriage.
After evening, a few people just returned to Banyue Xiaozhu.
Qing Deng then ordered Zhao Afu to start sweeping the court and make preparations. They went back to the house, and the eldest princess sent her old nanny over.
"Though trivial matters in the inner house are small, they cannot be ignored."
In fact, the eldest princess was worried that Master Qingdeng was a monk who had not seen the world for a long time and did not know the etiquette of two families discussing marriage. She was afraid of leaving a scandal and looking down on Surao.
Then someone was sent to help.
Surao looked at the busy figure of her grandmother in the courtyard, thought for a moment in the corridor, and then went to Xiaonan's courtyard.
Xiaonan was sitting on the tree playing with Lu Gongsuo.
As soon as he saw Surao coming in, he jumped down immediately.
"elder sister."
His tone was joyful, and Surao led him to sit down. After asking about what he had seen in the Duke's Mansion, he hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Xiaonan, if I ask Your Highness to come and help me with the wedding ceremony, won't you be happy?
"
Xiaonan heard this unexpectedly, was stunned for a moment, and then quietly pursed her lips under her gaze.
"If you..."
"Sister, just do whatever you want."
Xiaonan intercepted her words and said seriously: "I don't care."
Surao looked at him steadily for a long time, and after confirming that he was not forcing himself, she breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and rubbed his head, "No one will force you, just let it take its own course."
"Um."
Xiaonan smiled again, and that night, Surao went to the princess's mansion again and asked her to help take care of everything in the mansion.
After arranging everything, she dragged her tired body and fell on the bed.
The next day.
The entrance hall of Banyue Xiaozhu was wide open, and everyone from the stewards to the maids had smiles on their faces.
Master Qingdeng rarely got up early to clean up and wash up.
Zhao Afu ordered someone to bring him breakfast. After taking two bites, he suddenly realized something was wrong and asked in surprise: "Where's Arao?"
"My lord, she has already gone to the Yamen."
"Um?"
Master Qingdeng suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Afu, "Don't she know what day it is today?"
"Know."
Ah Fu stood with his head bowed and said respectfully: "Today is the day for Yan's acceptance."
"Then she still..."
"She doesn't have to come forward when the young lady wants to accept the offer. Instead of wasting time in the mansion, it's better to go to the Yamen to investigate the case. The master and the eldest princess will have to worry about the affairs in the mansion."
Master Qingdeng: "..."
He was speechless.
Fortunately, this girl knew the importance and found a helper for him. Otherwise, with his limited knowledge of etiquette, he would have ruined the marriage.
News of Yan's visit spread like wildfire.
When Gai Heng saw Su Rao in Jingzhao Mansion, he suspected that he was dazzled for a moment, and only after confirming again and again did he dare to call someone, "Master Su, shouldn't you be in the mansion..."
"What are you doing in the mansion?"
Without saying a word, Surao spread her hands directly to him: "Didn't you say that the identity of the deceased was found? Let's take a look."
Gai Heng swallowed what he said and quickly handed her the identity book he had found.
