It was the first time I went on a long trip and attended a formal banquet, so I had to dress more formally. "Little Tail" happily asked to choose her favorite color red. Ji Yu didn't have any special requirements. He thought cyan color was good, that's it. The one that was dark green with a hint of red was rejected by Madam Xiang because this color was reserved for fasting.
"Old clothes are enough. You and Zhong'er each have one, okay?" Mrs. Xiang made the decision for them. It would be safer to wear formal attire when going out to meet guests without being rude.
At that time, wearing black clothes was a very auspicious and formal dress, just like we wear bright red clothes to attend weddings.
Xiang Zhong didn't have any objections. He was not a person who had too many requirements or particularities about clothes. Now that his mother had to worry about it, he no longer had to worry about remembering the long-winded clothing matching tips given to him by Mr. Guan Ya. It was just a matter of time. Heart.
He loved to catch up on his sleep in Mr. Guan Ya's etiquette class. He really had to put it to use here, and had to dig out a few more impressions from his memory bank. He thought to himself, how should he behave this time? , as long as it’s not too rude, it’s okay. Anyway, with the appearance of a three-year-old child to cover it up, people won’t be criticized too much if they do something bad!
The way he imagined traveling was to pack up his bags and hit the road! As a result, the life of a nobleman is far from being as simple as he imagined: before going out, he first divines the auspicious day and time; he prepares gifts in advance; then he carefully arranges the ready-made clothes; and then prepares a beautiful carriage, including a handsome carriage. The horses' coat color should be black, not yellow or white; each horse's mane is tied into beautiful braids; the carriages are even more decorated, as if they are not beautiful enough; and there are servants Accompanying... After a lot of effort, such a ceremonial trip made Xiang Zhong sigh: Life in your circle is not easy!
Dr. Shang Rong sent envoys, and their chariots led the way. The chariots and horses of Miss Xiang's group followed them on the road in a swaggering manner.
This time, they did not take a shortcut from the single-plank bridge on the Seasonal River during the dry season to leave the bamboo forest like the Shang You brothers did. Instead, they walked all the way to the foot of the mountain and started to get on the car on the "right path". Although they walked a long and winding path, But all the way is a "provincial highway" with the appearance of "a straight road and a smooth road".
Even if it's a relatively regular road, it's so bumpy when you're sitting in the car! We should soon make these children in the car so happy that they want to fly.
"This is a pure wooden wheel! The shock absorption is so bad, so bad!"
Xiang Zhong complained secretly that the last time he left here to go to Xiang Mansion, he was carried by someone behind him and rode away. The intelligent shock absorption system of that horse was pretty good! Leather seats, constant temperature, and no serious bumps, 360-degree panoramic sunroof, and it can run quite fast. It's really enjoyable!
"I can't help it. The rules of this expensive circle are that you have to take a car, otherwise it will be rude and lose your identity." Xiang Zhong was jolted by the vibration of the car again and his tongue was almost bitten by his own teeth. He quickly grabbed the side with one hand. By the window frame of the car, his other hand was tightly grasped by Ji Yu, who was sitting next to him, helping him stabilize his body.
"Little Tail" was sitting on the same side as Mrs. Xiang. She saw the chubby baby fat on Xiang Zhong's face, trembling up and down slightly with the vibration of the car. She laughed so hard that she would cover her mouth with her sleeves from time to time, fearing that she would hit her front teeth. Her "loophole" cannot be guarded against again. It would be bad if Xiang Zhong discovers it. You know, he is her future husband! He couldn't let her image in his mind be compromised. Keep it looking beautiful!
If I were taller, the beautiful scenery along the way would not just be green treetops, blue sky and white clouds. Xiang Zhong regretted that his small stature prevented him from recording the scenery and movements along the way. Unlike the way to Xiang Mansion, he had a panoramic view of all kinds of beautiful scenery.
Although I gritted my teeth desperately, my disobedient tongue was accidentally squeezed in twice when I made the "ah" mouth shape. Xiang Zhong was helpless. Fortunately, he used his mouth more when eating and less when speaking. This side effect caused by congenital hearing loss can still save a lot of trouble.
As we walked, the bumps became lighter and the car went much more smoothly. We must have left the mountain road and were about to enter the city! Xiang Zhong secretly rolled his tongue back and forth in his mouth, massaging the area that was accidentally hurt by his teeth and repairing it.
"This must be the most flexible muscle in my whole body! I can do almost any movement, it's so good!" Xiang Zhong tasted the few drops of blood that were knocked out, which was the salty taste of rust.
"Little Tail" had already stood up, stood at the window, opened the curtains, and swayed outside to look and watch. She refused to sit down for a long time, until she suddenly stretched her arms out of the window, shaking vigorously toward the outside and saying hello. , Xiang Zhong guessed: "We must have arrived. There should be people on both sides greeting us now, waving to welcome the convoy!"
Sure enough, after a while, the "little tail" turned around, not wanting to sit down anymore, so he pulled the little lady's sleeve and reported: "Chen Guo is here! Chen Guo is here! We are getting off the car!" "
The carriage finally stopped, and the door curtain in front of the carriage was opened by the carriage driver and hung on the hook at the door frame of the carriage. Then the carriage driver jumped off the carriage and put the ladder-like stools behind him for getting on and off the carriage. After holding down "Little Tail", and then Xiang Zhong, Ji Yu got out of the car. The last person to come out was Mrs. Xiang. The driver carefully supported her. Mrs. Xiang's manner of getting off the car was the most standard and extremely elegant. This made Xiang Zhong go crazy. For the first time, he felt that sometimes, although there are many rules in the game in the industry, it still looks pretty good. It seems that he will have to go back to Mr. Guan for a good repair. "Etiquette Lesson".
"Congratulations to Mrs. Xiang, Mr. Xiang, Mr. Ji Yun, and Miss Ji Ling!"
Shang You and Shang Wu, brothers and sisters, had already stood at the master's seat on the east side of Laofu Gate, greeting guests with greetings and singing promises. Their voices were melodious, and accompanied by the sound of bells and drums from the band behind them, it really looked like a blockbuster movie was about to begin. They today The dresses they wore were also extremely formal. They were completely different from the two children who were playing with chickens last time.
Xiang Zhong looked for his target in the queue of masters, the real owners of the old mansion: Lao Tzu, Lao Dan, and Mr. Boyang.
He was a very handsome young man. The eighteen-year-old Lao Tzu took a leave of absence and left the Kingdom of Zhou on this "Xiyue" festival. He temporarily took off his official uniform as a doctor in the library of the Zhou Dynasty and returned home. I went to my hometown of Chen Guo to visit my mother, and by the way I agreed to the invitation of my mentor Dr. Shang Rong to make an appointment with Xiang Zhong and his party.
The three of them stood in the master's position, looking like they had full cell phone signals. They formed an "arithmetic sequence", ascending in ascending order: the businessman brother and sister provided him with a foil, which further added to the rich image of the young talent. a bit.
