Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 296

The palace banquet was over, the snow stopped, and when they came out of the hall, the sedan chair had been waiting for a long time.

Princess Kangren and Xiao Ming'er followed the concubine into the sedan chair, and Jiang Changning looked back at King Jin and King Qing standing on the white jade steps.

The two of them didn't know what they were talking about, and they both had the same false smile on their faces.

The bright and dark fireworks shone on the two of them, giving people a sense of eerie and weirdness, which made people daunting and shy away.

And within ten steps away from the two of them, there was indeed no one, even if they wanted to go down the steps to sit in a sedan chair, they would stay away from them.

A gust of wind blew by, and King Qing sneezed.

King Jin seemed to be concerned and said: "The weather is cold, Uncle Wang is not young anymore, it's better not to stay outside for too long, if he catches the cold and gets sick, it will be troublesome."

"You cursed me?" King Qing asked with narrowed eyes.

"How could Uncle Wang misunderstand my nephew so much? My nephew is reminding Uncle Wang to take care of his health." King Jin smiled and cupped his hands, "My princess is waiting for me, Uncle Wang, let's talk another day."

After saying that, he took big strides down the steps, and when he stepped on the last step, Jiang Changning held out his hand to him.

King Jin immediately held it, "Hands are a bit cold, where's the hand warmer?"

"Concubine Mu's hand stove is off, and she is about to leave the palace, so I don't need to bother the palace people, I gave her mine." Jiang Changning explained.

"You are so considerate of them, they may not miss you, but freeze themselves."

"Just for a while, it's not cold." Jiang Changning smiled.

The sedan chair came over, and King Jin helped her to sit firmly before sitting down beside her, and stretched out his arms to put her in his arms, euphemistically saying, "I'll be your hand warmer."

"Thank you, my lord." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"The concubine is too polite, this is what Xiao Wang should do." King Jin said seriously.

Time always flies by, winter comes and spring comes, and after New Year's Eve, it is a new year.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and various flower viewing parties, garden parties, tea tasting parties, and painting viewing parties can be held
Princess Kangren received a large stack of invitation posts, which annoyed her a lot.

"You don't have to go to all of them, just pick the ones you want to go to." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"I don't want to go." Princess Kang Ren got close to Jiang Changning, and in front of her, her true nature was revealed.

"Kang Ren, although it is necessary to be defensive, don't overcorrect and reject people thousands of miles away. There are bad people and good people in this world. You just need to choose good friends and make friends with them."

"Bo Ya Ziqi, high mountains and flowing water."

Jiang Changning laughed, "Fairy Friendship"

"Auntie help me choose together." Princess Kang Ren spread out the posts.

Jiang Changning flipped through several posts in a row, and found the one sent by Fang Taishi's residence, "Do you want each of you to bring a painting to this painting viewing meeting?"

"um, yes."

"Want to go?" Jiang Changning knew that Fang Taishi was an upright official, neutral in the court, and belonged to the category that could be won over.

Princess Kangren nodded, and Jiang Changning smiled and said, "Go to the warehouse and pick a painting you like."

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Silly boy."

The aunt and nephew picked and selected twelve of the 25 posts.

It's not that I don't want to choose a few more, but that the days of several companies conflict, and they are on the same day.

On the same date, of course, those who are going to go are acquaintances and good friends, or people with a good family style.

In the days that followed, Jiang Changning was at home raising the baby, Princess Kangren was busy attending banquets in various prefectures, and King Jin fought fiercely with King Qing in the court hall.

But no matter how busy King Jin was, he never forgot to enlighten his son.

He invited Zhang Xuanweng, a well-known scholar in central Beijing, to be Xiao Ming'er's teacher. Jiang Changning frowned, "It's not necessary, it's too talented to be useful."

For a three-year-old child, it is enough to find someone to enlighten him.

"The stinky boy is smart, so we need to find a powerful mentor to take care of him." Jin Wang didn't say that Xiao Ming'er was the heir of the royal family and had a noble status.

"Don't call him a brat all the time."

"It was a brat."

"He is your son, like a father like a son, if he is a brat, then what are you?" Jiang Changning teased him with a smile.

King Jin reached out to touch her belly, "This baby will give me a sweet little girl."

"If I say to have a son, I will have a son, and if I say to have a daughter, I will have a daughter, then I am not the princess of Jin, I am a concubine."

King Jin smiled and hugged her, "You'd better be Princess Jin."

On the [-]th day of February, an auspicious day, the Prince Jin's Mansion hosted a ceremony for the youngest son Helian Yuming.

"Teacher dresses properly." Wangfu Chief Shi Chong was the master of ceremonies.

Family members, including the Zhou brothers, Gu brothers and Yan brothers, were invited to watch the ceremony.

The little guy was wearing a brand-new green robe and a small jade crown on his head. He walked up to Zhang Xuanweng with a stern face, "The student has met Mr."

"Correct clothing, proper conduct, right from wrong, honor and disgrace." Zhang Xuanweng solemnly arranged the skirts and jade crown for him, which indicated that he was willing to accept this young disciple.

"Students keep the teaching in mind." Xiao Ming'er replied.

"Perform ablutions."

The servant brought a basin of warm water, and Zhang Xuanweng said: "Put your hands in the basin and wash them, clean your hands and mind, remove impurities and preserve essence. I hope that in the future, you will concentrate on your studies and have nothing else to do."

According to his request, Xiao Ming'er washed the palms of his hands and the back of his hands, and dried them with a clean handkerchief.

"Worship the holy master." Chang Shi said.

The holy teacher is Confucius, and there is a statue of Confucius on the east wall.

"Clean up your clothes," Chang Shi said.

Xiao Ming'er lowered her head and straightened her belt, and looked up at the statue of Confucius.

"Be honest and sincere, please hold the arm, and bow high."

Xiao Minger acted according to his words and saluted the statue of Confucius.

"Set up a heart for the world, worship, and rejoice."

"For the living and the people, worship, and prosper."

"For the sake of the sage's inheritance, worship, and rejoice."

"Open peace for all generations, pray, prosper."

I worshiped the holy master and worshiped the master.

"The parents who gave birth to me taught me sir, Mr. Bai, listen to the wise, clear doubts, explain the meaning and understand the truth."

As the heir of the royal family, Xiao Ming'er will only bow down to Master Meng.

Please ask your son to be his mentor, but the son dare not accept his gift.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the next step is to present the six rituals.

The six rites are as follows: celery, which means being diligent and studious; lotus seeds, which means painstaking education; red beans, which means great ambitions; Wisdom; dry lean meat strips express the disciple's mind.

Zhang Xuanweng's return gifts are four things, "The Analects", green onions, celery and firewood.

"Cinnabar enlightens wisdom," Chang Shi said.

The servant brought a brush and cinnabar, and Zhang Xuanweng tapped the cinnabar with the brush, and put a cinnabar mole on Xiao Ming'er's eyebrow.

Xiao Ming'er was already fair and tender, but after getting the cinnabar mole, she looked more like the boy of Yucai under Guanyin's seat.

"Trace the red and start the pen."

Zhang Xuanweng brought Xiao Ming'er to the table, held his hand, and taught him to write a character, "Learn to be a man by studying."

After starting the pen, Zhang Xuanweng memorized the opening chapter of "University", "The way of university lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in ending in perfection"

After the initiation ceremony, Xiao Minger began to study formally.

　Note: I did not find the complete information for the Opening Ceremony, so I put together several materials and compiled it myself. Please do not mind if you are a researcher.
