Chapter 86 Hairpin (1)

, provides you with wonderful novel readings. Today's Chinese people have a very vague consciousness about the concept of adult etiquette. However, in ancient China, especially in the pre-Qin period, the ancient Chinese attached great importance to adult etiquette. Watermark advertising test. Watermark advertising test. Men's crown, women and hairpin are the first important day in their lives.

The etiquette of the hairpin was passed down from the Zhou Dynasty. After the Qin State moved eastward, the Qin people actively absorbed the etiquette culture of the Zhou people, and the etiquette of the man was one of them. Even after Shang Yang's reforms, the Qin people did not abolish these etiquettes that were vigorously promoted by Confucianism, but were formally recognized by the state. The Qin people were more serious and even issued etiquette regulations on the hairpin for this purpose.

According to the regulations of the Qin people, the date of the hairpin was set on the third day of the third lunar month. The ancients became Shangsi Festival, also known as the Daughter's Day. Unfortunately, it originated from the hairpin ceremony more than two thousand years ago. It is currently only circulated in Japan and South Korea. There is no more hairpin in the Chinese festival.

"General Meng, the princess and the hairpin are set at the 18th day of the winter moon, don't forget!" A few days after Meng Tian returned to the Meng Mansion, Xiaoyu sent a message: "Don't forget the gift to the princess!"

Ying Yan's mother had a low status and died shortly after giving birth to Ying Yan. Whether in terms of identity or emotion, Empress Dowager Huayang became Ying Yan's closest elder. In recent years, Empress Dowager Huayang has been ill in bed and her health is getting worse. The imperial physician Ling Xia Yinyan gave a diagnosis, believing that Empress Dowager Huayang will not be able to hold on to the Shangsi Festival.

Empress Dowager Huayang had an open-minded mentality and did not hesitate to anything. She just wanted to see Ying Zheng with her own eyes and Ying Yan officially became an adult. As the monarch, Ying Zheng held a ceremony with great political significance, and the ministers could not completely settle it for a while. To settle for the second best, Empress Dowager Huayang decided to hold a ceremony for Ying Yan in advance.

The wedding of Ying Zheng and Chu Princess Mi Ling was also scheduled for Ying Yan and the hairpin. The crown represents adulthood, but in the eyes of the ancients, married men will also be regarded as adults.

Although she could not wait for Ying Zheng's ceremony in person, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Huayang, she had already protected her two grandsons as adults.

"Gift?" Meng Tian stroked her chin and thought: "What gift would Ying Yan like?"

The Qin people's ceremony of wearing hairpins is mainly women, but it is not limited to female members. As the host's parents, they often invite friends to watch the ceremony. The guests understand very well that the host's invitation is not a middle-aged uncle like them, and they will take the young sons at home very consciously. However, if they meet a father like King Ping of Chu and like to snatch their daughter-in-law, it is a different matter.

When the hairpin ceremony is over, the young master present will diligently give the gift in his hand. If an adult woman accepts a gift from a certain master, it means that the parents of this master can consider asking good media to go to fight the Ke.

After carefully understanding the etiquette of the hairpin, Meng Tian sighed deeply. Thinking about the later generations, when a teenager falls in love, he will be labeled as early love. Many young people, when love is in full bloom, no one will guide their newborn emotions. But unexpectedly, the ancients' concept was very open-minded, and even the solemn coming-of-age ceremony was creating opportunities for love for young men and women.

In ancient winter, we could not hide at home to watch the Spring Festival Gala, nor did we have the mahjong table that the whole nation flocked to. It was quite boring to stay at home on such days.

He was used to being in the army, and Meng Tian would crow every day and practiced the good habit of dancing with roosters earlier. In his spare time, he would accompany Meng Yi to practice swords and discuss knowledge with Bu Xing and Ganluo. The closed temple in the Meng Mansion allowed Meng Tian to practice martial arts every day, regardless of wind, frost, rain and snow.

Meng Wu, the head of the Meng family, has been staying in the military camp for these days. The wedding day of Ying Zheng and Mi Ling was set, and envoys from various countries came in a row, and the security work in Guanzhong became very heavy for a while. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the King of Qin's wedding, Wang Jian and Meng Wu personally took over the camp in Guanzhong to intimidate the young.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the 18th day of Winter Moon, Winning Yan and Hairba.

On this day, the gloomy sky pulled away envy and poured out the warm and gentle sunshine.

A little softness is added to the cold air.

"Say the ancients' superstitious, but the good days carefully selected by the ancients will never be windy or rainy."

Meng Tian changed into a black dress, held a foot-long box in his hand, and rushed straight to Xianyang Palace with his personal guards Meng Hu and Meng Bao.

The day of the wedding and the hairpin was selected by Taizhu Ling after studying the "Book of Suns". After receiving atheistic education, Meng Tian subconsciously felt that when the ancients held major ceremonies, they almost paranoidly chose good days, which seemed to be one after another. What is surprising is that the good days selected by Taizhu Ling will always be beautiful. Over time, Meng Tian gradually believed in the wisdom of the ancients.

Existence means reasonable. The ancients insisted so much, so there was a reason for it.

"Wow—"

Meng Tian's carriage stopped outside the palace of Empress Dowager Huayang. Looking around, solid-colored horses and luxurious carriages were shoulder to shoulder, competing for each other. This scene reminded Meng Tian of the daughter of a senior leader who had passed away in his previous life. The luxury car that went to his house was parked ten miles away.

Although the carriages of this era only have two wheels and do not have shock absorption systems, in the eyes of ordinary Guizhou, there is no difference between them and the luxury sports cars on the streets of civilians in later generations.

"Boy, give me some energy! This time, the women of the entire Ying clan's age are in the palace of the Queen Mother, so you have to show me a good performance!"

"Son, I don't know if I look in the mirror when I go out, my hat is crooked!"

"Brother, do you have any ideas after Princess Yan's hairpin?"

"Oh, Princess Yan's biological mother is humble and has passed away. After the empress dowager leaves, she may marry far away from another country."

People were bustling and busy, but there was not much noise. There was no loud noise in the palace forbidden places. The ancient Chinese preferred quietness, and the mainstream music of this era was mainly quiet and elegant.

Meng Tian walked slowly by and saw the guests, especially the parents, who came to watch the ceremony, with exaggerated expressions and tried his best to lower his voice. These people include distant royal families who came from other places, and the officials and ministers in Xianyang.

Many young men let things go and let their parents do it. However, some people have their own opinions in their hearts.

"Intellect is just mistaken for cleverness. The situation where the seven heroes of the Warring States Period coexist will soon end. Their thoughts are still in the Spring and Autumn Period, and their horizons are too narrow!"

When he heard someone commenting on Ying Yan's humble origin, Meng Tian raised his head and glanced over. He saw two young men whispering to each other. However, Meng Tian had already heard their conversation and couldn't help but frown.

"What are you looking at? What are you frowning and what are you hearing?"

Meng Tian turned his head away and was about to see if there were any acquaintances. As a result, the young man, who was called the eldest brother, noticed Meng Tian's frown and felt nervous. If the content of the two brothers was talked about in the ears of Empress Dowager Huayang, it would be awful.

Thinking of this, he wanted to be in trouble in advance, so it would be better to kick the person in front of him out of the team to attend the ceremony.

"It's you, the one in black, stop me, didn't you hear me? If you don't read "The Book of Suns" when you go out, it will fall into my Zhao Ying's hands. You are unlucky."
