Powerful

Chapter 121 and the Blessing of the Crown
(I think this chapter is well written, haha~~)

In the twinkling of an eye, it is the second day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the day of Shendu and Guanguan.From Shen Shi, many people appeared on Yanxi Street one after another, including officials, businessmen and ordinary people, followed by servants holding congratulatory gifts, pouring into Shen's house like a tide.

Shen Su is the emperor's teacher, and Shen Du is a member of Zhongshushe. The status and status are here. The officials of Jingzhao know that Shen Du's crowning ceremony is to give gifts.After the emperor and the nobles in the palace sent congratulatory gifts to Shen's house, they knew very well about this banquet, they must come, and they had to prepare gifts and come in person!

Which of these officials is not a human being?The emperor treats Shen Du extremely kindly, how dare they neglect him?Even Zong Zhengqing Zhu Youluo endured the pain, and bought Shen Du a piece of Longyan Duan inkstone as a congratulatory gift.

Originally, the court officials thought to themselves that they had already paid enough attention to this matter by preparing congratulatory gifts and coming in person. They didn't want to go to Shen's house, only to find out that many bigwigs in the court didn't just value this matter.

Apart from Shen Du, sitting in the front hall to greet the guests of the Shen family were Lu Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Du Yu, Minister of Zhongshu.These two people are both third-rank civil servants of the imperial court, and they are both figures of the Jingzhao period!
But these two people are attracting guests for Shen Du, and they don't show any embarrassment, their acquaintance and acquaintance are natural!

These two people were not the ones who surprised the officials the most. When they saw the child standing beside Lu Qing and Du Yu, they were even more surprised for a while, not knowing how to react.

This child is seven or eight years old, wearing a sky-blue cloud brocade with a dragon pattern, and a coiled dragon hanging on his waist. He is slightly fat, and his big saber eyebrows add a lot to him, especially his eyes are shining and smiling. He was strangely more handsome, vaguely possessing the quality of a dragon and a phoenix.

Indeed, this is the dragon son!Isn't this the ninth prince born by An Jieyu?How could he appear here and greet guests with Lu Qing and Du Yu?The emperor actually valued the Shen family and Shen Du so much!
This is just a coronation ceremony, right?Why is His Highness the Ninth Prince greeting the guests?There are thousands of horses galloping in the court official's mind, and his face starts to look weird.
They began to think about whether the ceremony prepared earlier was too light.The dexterous official had already ordered the accompanying servants to rush home immediately, and packed up the Shoushan Tian Huang Dong in the warehouse and sent it to Shen's house.

It's okay to say anything else, but this ability to see trends can be regarded as the housekeeping ability of Jingzhao officials.Thus, such a picture appeared in the Shen family: many servants accompanied by officials just found a reason to rush home in a hurry.

Shen Du looked at the actions of these officials' servants and just wanted to shake his head.In this way, there is no need at all, he has already made up his mind, and he will never accept gifts that are too expensive.

There is no reward for no merit, no virtue is not important, he is just a crown, what do you do to make such a big scene?According to Shen Du's original intention, getting the crown is not a big deal, just simply invite Lu Qing and others to come and be a witness, there is no need to be so grand and exaggerated.
However, Shen Su believed that getting the crown was an extremely important matter, and insisted on making it a grand event, and also sent a post to many people in Jingzhao, inviting them to participate in this important event of the Shen family and witness Shen Du's crowning.

When Shen Du expressed his objection, Shen Du just looked at him with pity, and then sighed: "If there were no such things in the past, your coronation ceremony must be a grand event in Jingzhao, and everyone will come to congratulate you. How can you not do it now?"

As soon as Shen Du heard this, he couldn't say any objection.Shen Su treats him with such kindness and kindness, it is a heartfelt love to give him a grand honor during the coronation ceremony.Shen Du couldn't refuse such a wish.

For this reason, Shen Su also went to the palace to beg Emperor Chongde, and asked Meng Shaoyan to be used by the Taiguan Office. He still asked Meng Shaoyan to take care of Shen Du's crown banquet for someone in the Shen family who did not have such banquet skills.

Emperor Chongde agreed to Shen Su's request, and was also willing to add to the icing on the cake, sending congratulatory gifts to the Shen family, which was a great honor to Shen Su, the emperor's master.

Not only Shen Su, but also people like Lu Qing and Du Yu thought that Shen Du's coronation ceremony should be grand and important, and they also took part in it with great interest, as if they were preparing for the coronation ceremony for their own children and grandchildren.

Lu Qing personally prepared auspicious clothes such as Caiyi Xuanduan for Shen Du, and carefully prepared sacrificial utensils such as caskets and mats, carefully reviewing everything to ensure nothing goes wrong;
Du Yu assisted Shen Su in selecting the guests to be crowned, and Shen Su was naturally the one who would wear the primary crown for Shen Duyi, so there was no need to consider this at all.

They finally selected Zhongshuling Pei Gongfu as the official guest of the third party, and Ye Duan, the son of the state, as the second guest. These two people have a very high reputation in the court, and they have prosperous descendants, so it is most suitable to crown Shen Du .
It stands to reason that noble dukes such as Anguogong and Chengguogong are the best candidates to crown the children of officials, but Shen Su and Du Yu never considered these people at all when they were selecting, and instead chose the powerful officials in the court Crowned.
Shen Du saw everything they did for Shen Du, every bit of heart they put in for Shen Du, and he was so grateful that he choked up and burst into tears.
Shen Su, Lu Qing, Du Yu and others never received the kindness from his father and grandfather, and they even had different political views from his father and grandfather, so they never interacted with each other back then.But now, these people treat him no differently from his children and grandchildren.

In the final analysis, this is the blessing accumulated by his father and grandfather, which has benefited him till now.Although he has no father, no mother, no family and no family, what Shen Du is moved at this moment is not sadness and pain, but boundless luck, because there are these people...

Shen Du was immersed in his own thoughts, and suddenly felt that his clothes were gently pulled. He subconsciously looked to the side, and saw Zhu Xuanzhi looking at him with worry in his eyes.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhu Xuanzhi saw that Shen Du's eyes were red and he seemed sad, so he asked in a low voice, holding back the address of "teacher".

He went to the Zichen Palace to beg Emperor Chongde, saying that he wanted to repay Shen Du's life-saving grace at that time, and to add honor to him and the crown ceremony, so he was able to come to Shen's house to busy himself, and he also asked An Jieyu to come. The congratulatory gifts sent by the Shen family were all to celebrate Shen Du and his crown.

Although Zhu Xuanzhi was old, he knew that the coronation ceremony was very important. He had nothing to offer except himself, so he went to Shen's house to greet the guests with Lu Qing, Du Yu and others. This was his congratulatory gift. up.
When those officials saw His Highness standing here, how could they wince, and gave the congratulatory gift a little heavier? ——The original Fatty Zhu had such small calculations.

Shen Du looked at Zhu Xuanzhi's handsome face, and blinked, feeling a warm current in his heart.I almost forgot that there was also Little Fatty Zhu, who also put in a lot of hard work for his own coronation ceremony.For example, running hard around the palace wall every day is to get rid of the fat on her body and make herself look more pleasing to the eye; for example, forcing An Jieyu to bring gifts to Shen's house, and so on.

This little disciple is really an interesting person, especially at the moment when he looks worried and afraid, Shen Du is even more happy, and that little bit of dark feeling has been knocked out like this.

"I'm fine, His Highness Ninth Prince takes good care of himself." Shen Du patted his hand and said.After finishing speaking, he obviously felt that the front hall became quiet, and then he turned his gaze to the door, and then half-closed his eyes.

Young Master Chang Yin came, brought a tea-cooking servant boy to Shen's house, and brought a congratulatory gift to Shen Du.As soon as he appeared, he silenced the noisy front hall.He was still dressed in a moon-white robe and long sleeves, like a banished fairy, bringing all the splendor of the world to the Shen family.

He slowly approached Shen Du with a smile, took out something from his sleeve, handed it to Shen Du, and said with a smile: "Today is the big day for Mr. Shen, and this is the crown I gave you." Congratulations."

The gift he took out turned out to be a wooden slingshot with a piece of leather tied to its two ribs. It looked very crude, as if it was a play made by a child. It looked old and not like any expensive gift.
Shen Du smiled "haha", quickly took the gift, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Master Changyin actually gave me this thing, why are you so stingy?"
Shen Du was dressed in black clothes, he said with a smile, his eyes rolled, his demeanor was on par with Young Master Chang Yin, they were one black and one white, they were all first-class figures in the eyes of court officials.

Young Master Chang Yin has been staring at Shen Du's expression, seeing that his expression doesn't seem to have changed, he didn't know what to feel for a moment, so he said lightly: "This is the most precious gift I gave Master Shen."

There was still a smile on his face, and the emptiness in his eyes flashed past, as quickly as if he had never appeared.In the eyes of everyone, he is the noble son of An Guogong's mansion, and he still makes people feel comfortable and peaceful.

"Mr. Changyin, please. It's time for Mr. Shen to change into the auspicious clothes, and the time of crown auspiciousness will start soon." Lu Qing, who was watching them attentively, approached Mr. Changyin, and said with a smile.
Then he led Master Changyin to sit down in front of the hall, Shen Du didn't say anything more, slipped the wooden slingshot into his sleeve, turned around and walked towards the inner room of the South Garden.

The next thing is the same as the Jingzhao Gaomen disciples and the crown process, there is not much to say.Shen Du suppressed the excitement in his heart, knelt down in front of Shen Su respectfully and took the crown, and then kowtowed a few more times, everything he wanted to say in his heart was in these few bangs.

When Pei Gongfu put on the crown belt for Shen Du, and sang in his mouth, "Abandoning your family, you will be young, and you will be virtuous. You can only pray for longevity and test, and you will be Jingfu." Afterwards, Shen Su, Lu Qing and others felt relieved, I actually felt soreness in my eyes, so I had to turn my back to someone to cover it up - but seeing that kid get the crown back then, I shed tears, I really can't accept it!
The guest of honor, Pei Gongfu, patted Shen Du on the shoulder and said, "Ji Zhi, very good, very good!"

After reaching the crown, it is called a character to show his virtue. This "count it" is Shen Du's watch character, which was created by Shen Su, who is his father and teacher, to show his expectations for Shen Du.

Shen Du is counted in words.Shen, speed and consideration, as Pei Gongfu said, it's really good, haha——Shen Du straightened the crown on his head, thinking so.

That night, Shen Jizhi received one of the most precious gifts on the wall of Chibi Courtyard.But for Gu Yan, these gifts are the best gifts she can give to Shen Du!
(Outside the chapter: In fact, Shen Du became an official at a young age. Strictly speaking, the crowning ceremony was held at the age of twelve or thirteen in advance, but this is for the sake of the plot, so I don’t abide by it, haha. Writing this chapter is also a bit sour , because of Shen Du’s background, hehe.)
